Description:
Shortly after sunset in early January, 2008, as stars began to appear on the eastern horizon, I took my dogs into my backyard for their evening jaunt. Living approximately 3 miles from a county airport, I expect to see aircraft of all types flying overhead in a regularly known landing pattern. And, as a retired USG official who held a top secret clearance I have seen a multitude of different aircraft. I have aways been a reluctant believer of life elsewhere in the universe but unable to believe the Earth was being routinely visited by life elsewhere. However, the events of that evening were clear and convincing proof to me of both. I have attempted to analyze and absorb the event over the past 9 months and put it into some rational context. Frankly, I can't and, I now understand why UFO witnesses are so reluctant to come forward. It began innocently enough. As I stood in my backyard watching my dogs, I was startled by an intense flashing red light from the corner of my eye that seemed to come from an aircraft only vaguely outlined. The craft was so low that it seemed to be on a crash course in my own neighborhood, actually next door, which is why I was startled. As I turned east to get a better look, I clearly saw a black matted triangular craft against a darkening skyline silently hovering about 100 feet over my neighbors house with a pulsing red light beneath the craft. It was not moving at all, and there was absolute silence. I was completely transfixed by this sight. My thoughts were that this couldn't be happening, but it was. So, I rapidly tried to put the craft into some context which I understood. I began to compare what I was witnessing with a list of the kinds of aircraft with which I was familiar - none fit. It seemed to be relatively flat on top and bottom with equidistant but rounded sides with no visible windows or visible projections on its surfaces. I also began comparing the size and shape of the craft with my Toyota SUV which was immediately below the craft, with my neighbor's house also below the craft, and with the 50 foot tall trees in my backyard which were bare since it was winter. In relative measure to these known objects, the craft was as large as my neighbors house and most of his backyard combined. So, it seemed to be about 100 to 125 feet on each of 3 sides and about 20 feet in thickness with a dense black matte covering. By comparing the height of the trees in our yards with the craft, the craft was silently hovering approximately 100 feet above my neighbor's house. The red light at the front of the craft was unlike any I have seen on existing aircraft - it was incredibly intense and clear, almost like a super LED. It was located under the craft at one end of the triangle that appeared to be the front of the craft. The craft also seemed to have an equally intense white light eminating from the rear end but its source was not clearly apparent at the angle the craft was to me at that time. That white light was not the same as the flashing lights on wingtips of known aircraft. This white light was not flashing or pulsing but was steady and appeared to be of a soft but equally intense quality of light. After approximately 5 minutes, the craft made a 90 degree turn to the east and began drifting slowly and silently away. As it turned, I was able to see two large circles each approximately 8-10 feet in diameter at either side at the end surface of the craft which were the sources of the white light I had only seen before from an angle. The white light was steady and intense but of a softer nature than the flashing red light. After another 5 or so minutes, the craft had slowly moved out of sight. In closing, let me note that I was absolutely stunned by this event and speechless or otherwise I would have attempted to make some effort to contact the craft. I have never seen anything like this in my life. It was not a US aircraft. I don't believe that any other nation has this kind of technology at the present time. The only conclusion I am able to draw from this event is that the craft was clearly and purposely surveiling the area. It was also clear that the craft saw me watching it but made no attempt to contact me or to evade the area. On reflection, I'm sure those piloting the craft could not perceive any threat to its presence from anyone. One final note, for some unknown reason, my dogs did not respond to its presence, they were quiet and not frantic - it seems that reaction is reserved for the postman.Source: UFO Stalker and Mufon and thanks as always to The Paranormal Casebook
A McMinnville UFO articlehas stirred some up recently when I ran an image of Paul Trent's boy standing ona ladder. The kid was perched up in the very area where his father had taken two UFO pictures. These pictures are believed my many today to have been hoaxed. The 'ladder boy' photo is a very provocative photo that could impact the authenticity of two highly controversial UFOs photos made in Oregon in 1950 by farmer Trent.DUPED BY A SPACE JOURNALIST: SAUCER SKEPTIC ADMITS TO BEING THE SOURCE FOR THE 'LADDER BOY' PHOTOJames Oberg is a well-known space journalist who has professional ties to NASA. OBERG ADMITTED JUST EARLIER TODAY TO RESEARCHER LANCE MOODY THAT HE IS INDEED RESPONSIBLE FOR HAVING POSTED THE INCRIMINATING 'LADDER BOY PHOTO' ON A WEBSITE A LONG TIME AGO. HE HAS AGREED THAT WAS WRONG TO HAVE DONE SO.MOODY HAS CONCEDED THAT OBERG WAS "MISTAKEN" TO HAVE POSTED THE PHOTO. We can all certainly agree that it has caused many problems.Oberg is known to be rabidly skeptical about "things UFO." So much so that in 2009 Oberg deliberately planted a troubling photo on an ATS website forum. It was a picture of Paul Trent's boy on a ladder. The kid had a mischievous grin and was posed directly under the area that a UFO had been captured on film by his father. Oberg is the first person to have ever placed this image on the net. When Oberg was asked about the origin of the photo, Oberg replied that LIFE had 'bought the rights,'- that the image had been 'acquired' by them. Of course LIFE photographer Loomis Dean, who went to the Trent farm, was a LIFE employee. His pictures did not have "rights" that could be "bought" or "acquired." More importantly, Oberg did not post the other LIFE Trent farm images, just the 'ladder boy' photo. Why? He had to have known that there was a series of Trent farm photos, but he chose to selectively post only the one that would immediately suggest a hoax.OBERG'S ERROR REPEATEDOberg's "mistake" was apparently repeated on another site some years later. I next saw the Oberg image posted this past summer on another well-known paranormal website, Unexplained Mysteries. A long-time, respected poster there had reproducedthe ladder boy image, adding the statement: "from the same roll of film as the UFO photos." LIFE ARCHIVEI reviewed the online LIFE gallery of work by photographer Loomis Dean before I had published the article. There were several wonderful LIFE photos that Dean did over the years, but nothing on McMinnville. An individual emailed me after the article had appeared. He explained that the reason that I could not access the Trent farm photos is because LIFE had since removed them from their site and had apparently archived them. I could not get what I did not even know existed.THAT IS ITThat is it, the sum total on the matter. There was no 'nefarious' intent on my part despite what some have maintained (and in sometimes unprofessional and even profaneterms.) And despite Oberg having posted this very same image on the net before I did, no one had ever seen fit to correct him in the three years in which he did so. Lance Moody has asked me for an apology on this, I wonder if he asked the same of Oberg?BOY ON A LADDERThe 'boy on the ladder' photo remains a provocative one, no matter the provenance. And if you examine the photos in the LIFE series of the Trent farm closely enough it becomes evident: it would be very easy place in which to fake a UFO. And a ladder and a helpful kid would certainly come in handy for a hoax...AJB
