The 1970 Lake Anten, Sweden craft landing case is one of the more interesting CE2 incidents on record, even though there is only one report available about the case. The radiation evidence is intriguing and to tends to faver the real possibility that something actually did land.
AUGUST 29-30, 1970 - WEST OF LAKE ANTEN, 40 KILOMETRES NORTHWEST OF GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN:
We, GICOFF, became aware of it on Wednesday, September 2, and, the day after, four of us went up to the place. First we talked to an inspector at the police station in Alingsas, the neighbouring town. He told us the occurrence had not really interested them. They had reported it to the military authorities, but they did not seem to be interested either.
We then went to the place where it had happened, a little farm or rather a croft called Enebacken. On arriving at the croft we found another car standing there. The owner of the house, Mr. Richard Johansson, 81 years old, was being visited by his daughter and a friend of hers. She came out to meet us and showed us a corner of the garden about 25 metres from the house.
"There they are," she said- something she had probably done several times, because we soon learned that a lot of people from around about had been there. We went to the corner as directed and saw three burned marks that had been reported in the newspapers.
We took a lot of photographs, we measured the marks and the surroundings and we took a couple of earth samples, one from the marks and one from a place 4 metres away (more about this later).
Mr. Johansson, 81, told us: "I did not see or hear anything. You see I went to bed at 9.00 p.m., but my room is on the opposite side of the house. I am not particularly bothered about the incident, but it has been amusing to see people around this place. Whoever landed there has taken care not to destroy anything."
SEVERAL WITNESSES OF STRANGE LIGHT
Then we had to find witnesses to the light observed above Enebacken. This is how the Karlssons at a nearby farm described it:
Mr. E. Karlsson: "I was going to go to bed-it was just before midnight-when I saw that the cars on the road were stopping and putting out their lights. Then the boy came running in saying something red in colour was seen above Enebacken, about 500 metres away. I went out to have a look, and caught sight of a strong red light. It went to and fro above the forest."
Mrs. I. Karlsson: "Just when I saw it I heard a sound from it."
Mr. Karlsson agreed: "That was what puzzled me most. First I thought it was an aircraft, but then I realised it could not be that. It behaved so strangely, and not only that, it was round and bright and very red. It went both up and down and to and fro above Enebacken. Sometimes it disappeared below the treetops only to reappear after a while. The speed varied, sometimes it glided slowly only to accelerate very fast. Once it was almost down at the meadow in front of the forest only 200 metres away. Then I saw some beams of light coming from it. They were yellow-white in colour and seemed to come from the side of the red sphere, which had the size of about half the moon."
Mrs. I. Karlsson: "We were standing outside for a while but then we went in and watched it through the window. When going to bed at about 2.00 a.m. the light was still standing there."
We managed to find witnesses from three cars:
Mr. P. Nilsson: "My friend and I came driving from Alingsas. It was about 11.15-11.30 p.m. We caught sight of a red light moving to and fro and up and down, and now and then it was standing still. My friend stopped the car, and we got out. The light was to the left of us above Enebacken. We looked at it for maybe 10 minutes, before going home."
Mrs. Olsson: "My husband and I were returning from a visit to friends. We saw something which resembled a rear lamp on a car, red-yellow in colour. First we thought it was an aircraft, but we soon realised that it was not. We looked at it for 3-4 minutes. The time was then 12.25 a.m."
Mrs. E. Aronsson: "Shortly before 11.30 p.m. I saw, together with a friend, a bright illuminated ball just above the treetops. First I thought it was the moon, but this was red and it was so bright."
All these witnesses were located south or east of Enebacken. We found a further eight witnesses who had been to the north of the incident. One of them indicated how she had seen the light between two trees. When checking with a compass we found it to be precisely in the direction of Enebacken. Another, a Mr. E. Johansson, told us: "I caught sight of the red, bright ball above Enebacken at about 11.45 p.m. I was together with my wife and another couple. We estimate its size to be a little less than that of the full moon. It moved to and fro and up and down above the forest. We could also see something like a beam of light coming from the ground going up to the light. It was very beautiful to look at. The light was constant in brightness and created an illuminated streak on the surface of Lake Haslingen."
The distance between Enebacken and these witnesses is about 1,100 metres. At 12.15 a.m. Mr. E. Johansson and the other man took the car to try to find out what the light was. When turning into the side road leading to Enebacken they found another car, a blue SAAB, standing there. In it were Iwo young men, who said that they too had tried to find out what the light was. While they were standing there the light went out, or disappeared.
Mr. E. Johansson and his friend thought someone at Enebacken was using a balloon, or something like that, so they turned the car and went back. After coming home they caught sight of the light again. At about 1.00 a.m. they tired of it and went to bed. What happened to the blue SAAB they do not know. It was still standing there when they left. (We have not been able to trace it.)
The next morning Mr. E. Johansson and a couple of others went over Lake Halsingon by boat, went up to Enebacken and found the round marks.
We also found one witness west of Enebacken. A woman had seen the light from her house.
DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE
Enebacken is situated in pretty rough country. There are lakes, forests and mountains and hills, and not many people living in the neighbourhood. The croft is surrounded by forest, and around the house there is a garden and a meadow. The corner of the garden where the marks were found is a little higher than the surroundings. It is an old lawn, rather uneven, with old fruit-trees standing on it. The marks were about 40 cms. in diameter and 4 cms. deep. They were not all alike but differed a little around the edges and in depth. One was a little less round than the other two. It did not seem as if something had been standing there, but rather as if three jet-beams had been used.
We also checked the weather at three places around Alingsas, and found that it was cloudy at the time. The clouds were at a height of about 200 metres (mist-clouds). The wind was south-west and about 5 metres/sec. This has been confirmed by several of the witnesses.
EXPLANATIONS
While we were conducting our investigations there was a lot of speculation in the press. One paper explained the mystery by saying that the young men in the blue car had made the marks and used a balloon as a hoax. Another explained it with a warm-air balloon being lost and then landing, sending for a car, and then taking off again, and, of course, there were several other explanations.
The police and the military authorities seem to have accepted [he balloon theory completely. Two young men were pointed out as having perpetuated this hoax. When we talked with one of them he denied it completely. We have several reasons for believing him. One is that he was pointed out because he had a green FIAT, whereas the mysterious car was a blue SAAB.
RADIOACTIVITY TESTS
We left some of the soil we had taken at Enebacken with a man working at the Chalmers Institute of Technology, the Institution for Nuclear Chemistry. Two men have been investigating it. There have been three tests over differing periods. The following is based on the last test which took 24 hours, 8 hours with empty instrument, 8 with the reference-soil (4 metres from the marks) and 8 with the test-soil (from one of the marks).
The soil samples were analysed by using a Hewlett Packard Multichannel Analyser, 54OOA. This instrument takes a gamma radiation spectrum.
In the reference-soil there was no activity, except the natural background one. The test - soil showed a weak gamma-activity at an energy of 660 keV, which had not decreased two weeks after the first test. This activity could possibly come from a barium isotope 137 Ba (gamma-activity at 662 KeV), which is created when a cerium isotope 137Ce radiates beta-radiation (137Ce has a half-life of 30 years). The measured activity is very low, less than 900 pulses in 8 hours, but nevertheless is exceptional. The man doing the last two tests has told us that 137Ce, to the best of his knowledge, can only be found in certain nuclear processes. Furthermore, the fact that no activity (except the natural background one) was present in the reference-soil, seems to rule out the possibility that the activity had come from a nuclear test in the atmosphere.
There seem, therefore, to be only two possibilities:
1. Someone has had a little fun at our expense, but he must then have used a substance to create the marks, which contains 137Ce, and such substances are not common. There is no possibility that he would have put the 137Ce there knowingly because the actual amount involved is too small.
2. Something unfamiliar to us, using something which contains 137Ce had been at Enebacken on the night in question.
There might be one more possibility left: that gamma-activity is not coming from 137Ce but from an even more unusual substance. But if so, we do not know from what.
OTHER SIGHTINGS
We have recorded at least 10 other sightings in this area since September 1, 1969. Most of them arc described as being round and red or yellow in colour. They are often seen for long periods, and on a couple of occasions there has been more than one object. In one case, when the witness thought it went very low over his house, a whistling sound was heard. All this has happened in an area of less than one square mile (I Swedish mile - 10 kilometres) around Lake Anten.
This case has some very interesting details, but poses a lot of questions. Let me point out some of these questions: Mr. E. Johansson says that when they came to Enebacken on the Sunday morning, they saw car-tracks on the lawn only 10 metres from the marks. Were they already there on Saturday, or did anyone go there in the night or early in the morning, or was there a hoax by a person or persons who had their car standing there? What happened to the blue SAAB? Did the lightbeam come from the object or from the ground?
Mr. E. Johansson said the light went out. Did it do that, or did it only go down below the treetops? If it went out, does that prove it was a hoax?
We do not think this is the end of this story, but we have decided to publish the results so far and we hope that some new facts will come to light in consequence.
This case-report has been prepared by GICOFF. All information presented is based on GICOFFs investigation. We have not used any second-hand material. I have shortened the report a little and translated it into English. "NOTE: The author is Secretary of Goteborgs Informations Center om Oidentifierade Flygande Foremal (GICOFF),* a group formed by a number of science student"s
With great respect to the investigators, who seem for the most part to have done a very good job, the scientific examination, although it sounds impressive, is actually a little weak. They ought, for example' to have considered chemical tests to confirm the presence of Cerium- my professional chemist friend tells me this-and they ought to have been more specific about the sample. If it consisted of the ashes from the mark the burning might well have concentrated material deposited from the atmosphere. The suggestion that it came from a nuclear propulsion system, or the like, is not supported by the evidence - "R. H. B. Winder"
A World of UFOs
Real Aliens, Space Beings, and Creatures from Other Worlds
The World's Weirdest Places"
I just flew back home from Toronto.(Boy, are my arms tired!) Pah-dum-pum!It was a whirlwind visit.I had received an email two weeks ago from a producer with Corus, the independent Canadian TV network. She wanted to know if I would be interested in being on a serious news program to be on a panel to talk about UFOs. I said sure, and then she gave me a call. She wanted to know, "Are you planning to be in Toronto next week?" In a word, no. She sounded disappointed, but that's showbiz.But it didn't end there. Talking with my wife about it, she suggested that we might be able to afford a trip to Toronto for me, and that while there I could meet with my publisher, visit friends, buy her a birthday present, etc. Naturally, I agreed. I went online, found a seat sale and booked the flight. I called the producer back and told her I could do it. Done.Then a few days later, I learned what the show really was about. The host, Arlene Bynon, an award-winning radio host, has her own TV series on iChannel, a cable all-news channel. The series, called "@issue" has been running for a while and tackles some heavy subjects as a rule. But apparently Bynon spoke with Steve Bassett of the Paradigm Research Group several weeks ago on radio, and was intrigued with the whole government UFO cover-up thing. So, she picked the topic: Aliens - Have they visited us? A group of notable scientists and researchers is presently petitioning Barack Obama's government to reveal information that confirms that Earth has been visited on numerous occasions by extra terrestrials. Join us on @issue as we look at whether E.T. is a hoax, or, if not, just what the ramifications of such an announcement might be.The guests would be myself, Steve Bassett, and the Hon. Paul Hellyer, former Canadian Minister of Defence. I had actually recommended Errol Bruce-Knapp, who lives in Toronto, as a guest, but they never called him at all. So, it had been set up to focus on Bassett's disclosure ideas before even asking me.I think many of you know that I'm not a fan of the whole government UFO disclosure thing. Not that I don't think governments should come clean about their UFO files, but I doubt they ever will. Bassett has been asking people to write letters to Congress and to Obama directly, demanding the cover-up of UFOs be stopped immediately. His latest idea, the "million fax on Washington", is designed to put more pressure on the American government.Bassett cautioned the American government that if they didn't "come clean" by June 1, then "another country" would beat them to it. And then how would that look? Well, since no other country has blown the whistle (Bassett mentioned France, Britain and Canada specifically), then it sure doesn't seem to me like any one of them will.Bassett argues that he has found many private individuals, including some ex-military, who claim that they have inside information that the US government is hiding the truth about UFOs and aliens. One of these is Paul Hellyer, who certainly was in a position to know about such things. He was even head of Defence when Stefan Michalak was burned by a flying saucer at Falcon lake in 1967, and the RCAF, USAF and other officials investigated.However, Hellyer says that at the time, he simply was not interested in UFOs, and therefore has no insight into what the Canadian military was doing about UFOs at the time.(Hunh?)However, after retirement, Hellyer was at his cottage in Muskoka one year when he found a copy of Philip Corso's UFO book The Day After Roswell as summer reading. He was riveted to the point he became impassioned.Among other things, as a former military officer in the 1940s, Corso claimed that he had been privy to top secret material about UFOs, including the underground installations where aliens from the crashed Roswell saucer were kept alive (and dead). Corso also claimed that when the Americans pored over the crashed saucer, they were able to use the technology to develop things like lasers, fibre optics, Kevlar, transistors, etc.The trouble is, Corso said a lot of things in his book that were not true or were outright wrong. He had the definition of a laser wrong, for example. Let alone the fact that lasers were already theoretically understood by physicists long before Roswell. Einstein's work laid the foundation for lasers and there were physics papers about them in the 1920s. Light transmission within tubes was demonstrated in the 1920s too.Corso made some wild claims about UFOs in his book, strange enough that most serious ufologists distance themselves from it. Like, the USA was at war with the aliens and managed to reach a peace pact.Hellyer spoke to a former general in the USAF and asked him about Corso's UFO claims. He was told "every word is true... and more." Of course, Hellyer refuses to disclose the name of his informant, to protect him. So, I asked Hellyer, why should the USA disclose the "UFO secret?"Part Two of the Trana Trip coming soon!

Before veteran UFO researcher and author Wendy Connors retired from her work, she searched out and accumulated a wealth of UFO-related audio recordings for her "Faded Discs" project. This enormous, time-consuming task involved listening to hundreds of hours of audio from old TV and radio programs, UFO witness interviews, military accounts and the like, and she carefully converted each reel-to-reel tape, audiocassette, record album, transcription disc, wire recording and whatever other format came her way to digital format, thus preserving deteriorating recorded history for posterity. Sometimes, she literally had to wash the dirt off old recorded media using a special cleaning solution, patience and tender loving care in order to restore clarity.
It was truly my pleasure a few years ago to review some of her copyrighted digital conquests for Errol Bruce-Knapp's informative "UFO Updates" section of the Virtually Strange Network (see link and check out the "UFO Updates" section daily, where current contributor messages update continuously under the "100 latest messages" category in the Archive area), and despite auditioning hours and hours of incredible historical UFO audio for those reviews, I was impressed particularly by one gem, an interview conducted with a man claiming to be a Navy pilot who flew missions for the CIA in the 1970s. Tucked inconspicuously among a host of no less important audio entries, this is pure, apparently authenticated, UFO history gold.
What really strikes one about this particular interview is that the witness had provided personal information to establish his sincerity. Major identifying info was removed, for obvious reasons, long before I was given the opportunity to hear the recording, but based upon other factors its veracity appeared plausible. Having been in the military, I'm more than a little familiar with the term, "military bearing," and the voice on the recording reflected this. Also, for well over a year in the early seventies I operated my own hospital clinic at an Air Force pilot training base and spoke with pilots every day -- remarkable people conditioned to remain calm, cool and rational through almost any threatening situation. The recorded voice I heard remained very much in this vein, though, understandably, immensely curious about the UFO experience.
I'm going to share a transcript of the incident with you today. I've gone on to edit out some conversation having no bearing on the incident itself, but the major portions are here. I did have difficulty hearing some words because tape, even when digitalized, can have limitations due to its age (and my age!), and there remained some minor electrical "hum" caused by original recording equipment and old telephone lines -- so I've indicated spots where words were unclear to me. My transcript is mostly word-by-word accurate, but in some instances I had to choose the best guess (again, little to deter meaning here). If any words appear to contradict others, that's probably due to my inability to get a clear reading of the sound. I'm only human (or reasonably so!).
Of considerable interest -- the pilot's mention of a "sponge rubber" appearance to the object's surface may seem unusual, but the thing is that there were similar descriptions offered by other UFO witnesses -- not many at first, but they were out there. In fact, also from 1977, Wendy's collection included a report where the pilot and co-pilot of a Lear 35 jet encountered a huge object that followed their aircraft for 10 to 15 minutes, and the object's surface looked like "porous foam rubber."
This astounding account would be a nail-biter if featured in a movie script, and just when you might say to yourself, well, it might have involved a secret military device, the pilot's description of radar confirmation will blow rational thought right out of your head. This is creepy, fascinating stuff.
And so follows the incredible account offered by a man introducing himself as a Navy pilot, talented and trusted enough to conduct CIA missions, who literally claims to have just returned from an extraordinary UFO encounter. If he is who he purports to be, and if he is still with us, we might say thank you, Sir, both for your service and for your report, memorialized for the archives instead of disappearing into the dust of time, thanks to the concern and skill of Wendy Connors.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(The conversation is between the pilot and Robert Gribble, who operated the original National UFO Reporting Center out of Seattle, and occurs in 1977.)
I fly for the CIA. I'm a reconnaissance pilot.and I just came from Tokyo. I just landed about ten minutes ago. At a level 5-1-0 and at about halfway in a straight line between Tokyo and Hawaii, I was about halfway, I'm not sure. I was out of radar contact, just on my own, alone there, but I still had radio contact. I don't know if there was a full moon or not, but it was very bright out there on the ocean, and this thing came up to me. No wings, about double the length of my airplane -- I was flying a Phantom F-411 -- but double the length, which would be about 45 feet, round-shaped, not circular, more triangular, but no bottom and no top. All equidistant sides of a triangle. They weren't sharp, they were sort of rounded-off edges, and the ends of it were flat and no noise, no wings, no thrust, no windows, no, you know, nothing which would give it a reason to fly.
NO APPENDAGES OF ANY KIND?
No, none. On the sides of the Phantom, I don't know if you're familiar with (THE BASE?)) but we do have very high-intensity spotlights which (ARE BUILT INTO?) the fuselage (UNCLEAR) side of an aircraft that are used to, when you are unloading bombs at night at the runway you turn them on so the guys can see (UNCLEAR) with the bombs underneath them. And so I turned on the lights on the sides (AND HAD A VERY CLEAR PICTURE OF IT?))...and it was there, it wasn't my imagination.
DID THE LIGHT ACTUALLY REFLECT OFF THIS THING OR ILLUMINATE IT?
It didn't reflect, it was a porous material, probably. It looked like sponge rubber, that's what it looked like. But it was not metallic. It (UNCLEAR), it couldn't be porous. It looked like maybe asphalt would look from a distance, something like that.
I MEAN, WAS THAT LIGHT ACTUALLY ILLUMINATED?
No, It just sort of went ahead and hit it. (UNCLEAR)
HOW CLOSE DID THIS THING GET?
The closest it got was about 70 feet from the wing. Now, I have radar, and it was on radar and the image wasn't like that close, but it got up to about 50 feet from the left wing and then as far as about 200 feet and stayed there for about a half an hour. This was at Mach 2.2, roughly, you know, 1900 miles an hour.
DID YOU SEE THIS AS IT WAS COMING IN TOWARDS YOU?
I didn't see him come up on me, no, I just sort of looked over and it was there, and then I just looked and looked and looked and thought it was a shadow or something, so then I turned on all the lights and then I saw it. It was definitely there. I could see the dimensions, I could see the top and the bottom and the ends of it. The dimensions of the height, I would say, were, oh, I would say about 10 feet -- 10 feet by 10 feet.
WAS THIS THING LAYING FLAT OR WITH THE APEX UP?
It always had the apex up, but it would slowly rotate on the apex and in all the time it was there it started from the apex being up, to the apex completely rotating around and took about 15 minutes to do it. It would move a little bit and stop, move a little bit and stop and move a little bit and stop. It didn't look like that was necessary for flight. I think it was just turning for -- I don't know why but it wasn't necessary for flight, you could tell that.
AND DID IT MAINTAIN THE SAME POSITION IN RELATION TO YOU WHILE IT WAS DOING THIS?
More or less, I would say. But it didn't stay close for very long, it only stayed at 50 feet for about a couple of minutes, and it stayed just out of real good sight most of the time. It sounds like I'm crazy, but they seemed to know what was good sight and what wasn't for me. I have perfect vision, 20/20 and I'm a captain in Naval intelligence by the way, and I've been with the CIA for about two years.
OKAY. DID YOU GET ANY BUFFETING OFF OF THIS?
No, none. No buffeting, no turbulence, nothing.
HOW ABOUT INSTRUMENT INTERFERENCE?
No, perfect.
WERE YOU IN CONTACT WITH ANY GROUND STATIONS FOR A RADAR CHECK?
There is no radar in that area. I tried three times to see if I was in communication with somebody and ask if there was aircraft in my area that was, you know, maybe a little off course and they said no, the closest aircraft was (HE SAYS EITHER 40 OR 400) miles away, they said, and I said are you positive and they said yeah, and there was two radar ships, they were both out of range, and oddly enough, he disappeared right after this guy said I would be in range in about three minutes and about a minute after that this guy pulled away.
DID YOU GET THE IMPRESSION YOU WERE BEING OBSERVED?
I think they were more interested in the airplane than they were in me, but I did have that impression, yeah. I also had the impression that they knew what was going on. I know it sounds a little nutty, but no one else seems to care about it. I've been flying all my life and I know what an airplane is and what it isn't. There's not too many airplanes that can go as fast as that at that altitude, first of all, and 2.2 is pretty fast.
DID YOU HAVE ANY UNUSUAL PHYSICAL OR MENTAL SENSATIONS WHILE ALL OF THIS WAS GOING ON?
No. The only thing that sort of bothered me was that I haven't slept for about 30 hours, but that's not any big deal for me, I've done it a lot before. I was just coming from two other missions and I just hadn't had a chance to sleep and just wanted to get home, so -- I've been flying a long time but I can say I've done that a lot so it was nothing and I've been able to do that before, so...
OKAY. AND YOU DEFINITELY SAY THAT THE TEXTURE OF THE SURFACE WAS PITTED?
Yeah, not big holes, but it was rough. It wasn't metallic.
WHAT WAS YOUR ALTITUDE?
Flight level was 5-1-0. I did climb a little bit to see what sort of, I was curious, I climbed to 60,000 feet and almost instantly(UNCLEAR)...are you a pilot?
NO SIR.
Well, that plane can climb very fast, one of the best planes we have. The actual (UNCLEAR) is classified, but anyway I gave it full power and put the nose up (AT ? FEET?), and there's only maybe eight or ten other aircraft in the whole world that can keep up with that -- and this thing kept up with no strain at all. It made no effort at all to get right next to me. He started to move almost instantly when I did (AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT?)) allowed him to do that.
IT MOVED RIGHT ALONG WITH YOU?
Yeah, no problem at all. When he left me, I (UNCLEAR) stayed there for a little while and put into a dive to see if I could outrun him, and from 50,000 feet to about 49 I kept up to about three point something Mach, which is really moving and he stayed right up with me with no problem at all. And then the guy said, well, you'll be within radar range within about three or four minutes -- and about a minute after that he pulled away from me, going forward at at least triple the speed with no effort at all, I mean with no acceleration. He was just there and then he was a speck and then he was gone at the same altitude.
DO YOU REMEMBER THE TIME ON THAT?
Well, this was about, I'd say, 12 hours ago, no, about ten hours ago.
HOW LONG DID THAT WHOLE EVENT TAKE PLACE?
I'd say all together about a half an hour -- 20 minutes or a half an hour. I did get the time but the time was Korean time. I can't remember whether I...it would be an hour off if I gave you that time. It was just, I can't remember if it was four a.m. or four p.m., it was one or the other in Korean time. I can't remember if I reset the clock or not after I left Korea.
OKAY.
But the main thing I want to tell you is that this thing had no...you know, I can sort of tell if an aircraft is really working to keep up with you speed-wise and it sort of has characteristics. But this had no effort at all keeping up with me. There was no lag. They could accelerate easily as fast as they want to, go up and down as fast as they want to. It defied all the laws of aerodynamics. There was no reason for it to fly.
OKAY. WHEN THIS THING PULLED AWAY FROM YOU WAS IT AT HIGH SPEED?
Yeah, it was next to me and within 10 seconds it was a speck on the radar. The radar screen I have has about a 150 mile range. I could (UNCLEAR) it exactly. It took it less than 10 seconds to get out of radar range, less than 10 seconds to go 150 miles. I saw it going across the radar range. On the radar there is three modes. There is 150 miles, there is 250 miles and 500 miles. So to see it on the 500 mile range I upped the range from 150 to 500, and in the time it took me to flip the switch was another three seconds, and he had already gone past the 500 mile range. It wasn't on the radar anymore, which means it had already gone through that other range. You can imagine a circle, a 500 mile circle around you, that's what it's like. We have intelligence radar which is the best you can get. You can pick up a skydiver (SAID EITHER 40 OR 400) miles away, a free-falling skydiver will pick up on radar.
DID THIS THING LEAVE ANY TRAIL ONCE IT TOOK OFF?
No. We have a (HAWKEYE?) heat-sensing missile and the heat sensing missile has a computer which can track the exhaust of a jet. The exhaust of a jet stays in the sky the same way the wake from the water stays in the water, and you can track it the same way. Well, that computer was on, too, and there was no thrust, no heat, no energy coming from it. This thing will sense heat up to 20 miles away at altitude and there was no heat coming out of it, and that's very sensitive also. You can start up a gasoline engine in a car 20 miles away from this thing and turn on the missile, and it will find the heat and then blow it up. That's how accurate it is.
DID YOU GET A GOOD, SOLID RETURN ON YOUR RADAR?
Perfect, yeah. I don't know if it will help any to tell you this, but the people at Approach Control in the Navy, they didn't seem to care. I wanted to speed up and get around him, too, to see what the other side of this thing looked like, but I could not outrun him, he could slow down and speed up as fast as I could. A Phantom can go from 2.2 Mach to 50 miles an hour in about 10 seconds, that's how fast and you couldn't slow down if you wanted to, and I tried that and he was still just as fast. There are very few airplanes that can keep up with a Phantom. There's no Russian airplane that can. So either it's one of ours or it's someone else and, like I said, there's no reason for it to fly and had no energy coming out of it, no heat, no power source, nothing.

My account of it all was over a course of months we have observed pulsating colours in the sky, From a far it looks like a Plane or Helicopter would, or a star or just a Dot you could even say. We tried to use a scope many times to zoom in and both we could even tell it was nor a plane or helicopter or a drone, we know what all 3 do and their capabilities, we are educated people. The lights pulsed from Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, Violet, and Pink. There were 3 in the Sky nearly in alignment, each pulsing in sequences to each other in what looked to be a communicative pattern, not to mention as they puled they seemed to respond in colour patterns to each's own. Sometimes when we felt messages were not being sent or transceived they would all pulsate at the same pace and colours together sometimes. If we could zoom in closer we could make out a shape of what seemed to be either a disc or triangle. The colours would also outline the shape of the craft as they pulsed, each light pulsing in a specific spot. I then felt a massive head ache come on which was completely abnormal and instantaneous as the craft drew closer. IT IS HERE NIGHTLY. NEVER LEAVES. We have no pictures but the evidence lies in the sky. Also on one account when it DID disappear once a few months ago, it slowly and silently flew over our house, if it were a plane we could have heard it, even if it were a helicopter, but it was silent, fast and suddenly shot out of sight as if it were the Millennium falcon going into hyperspeed. It is visible from sundown through the night, They fly a short distance and stop, as if they are observing things, They cast long craft to Earth beams at times in the mountains that appear Golden/Yellowy orange and what seems to be abductions from afar. The numbers are growing and we feel there is an invasion or incoming invasion of our area. They stay steady nightly.

BUDD HOPKINS. ART, LIFE AND UFOS: A MEMOIR. ANOMALIST BOOKS, 2009.
Time and again there arise charismatic figures who claim a special gnosis into the human condition, to possess the master key which tells us why it is no go, the cause of the world's heartache and suffering. One such is Budd Hopkins, but in one crucial respect Budd Hopkins and his side kick David Jacobs differ from almost all the rest. For along with this gnosis there is usually a vision of salvation, redemption, utopia, some 'Good News' a gospel which illuminate the path out of the human condition. The road to salvation may be impossibly hard and harsh, the path to the noblest utopian strewn with babies' bones, the final goal as sick and demented as Adolf Hitler's vision of a German master race lording it over a Jew-free Europe, but some goal, some aspiration is offered.
Hopkins' gnosis, that human beings are the helpless playthings of omnipotent, but curiously inept, aliens who can abduct people through solid walls into invisible spaceships, but cannot put the right clothes back on abductees, offers no such solace. Perhaps it is the first true anti-gospel of total despair ever announced. (Some writers such as Bertrand Russell professed despair over the inevitable heat death of the universe, but this event billions of years in the future was not the sort of thing to impact of the lives of most people.
One is naturally curious as to what drives a person to such beliefs and such despair. It is by no means obvious from this book, though there are clues.
Parts of this book provide fascinating cameos of the social history of Midtown USA from the 1930s to the 1960s; its social mores, its narrowness and bigotries, sexual ignorance and authoritarian parenting. Others provide glimpses into the lives of some of the leading characters of the New York art scene. There is plenty here for the historian to mine. But the coming of the UFOs into Hopkins' life, after his sighting of an unusual object in 1964, seem to mark a change of gear, the beginnings of a sense of mission. However lots of people have had UFO experiences of one sort or another without developing the idea that, unknown to themselves, people are constantly being abducted by aliens. We can trace how this idea slowly develops, yet we never quite gather what that exact processes was.
But as I said there are clues. Hopkins is a survivor of polio which left him with a slight limp, but also memories of painful physiotherapy: "In the ominous context of an echoing, medicinal hospital room, I was stripped of my clothes by a pair of bored strangers, thick waisted nurses who plumped me into a zinc tub of rushing water and ordered me to kick and wriggle my legs. I wept and pleaded to be taken out, a response which naturally strengthened their determination to make me work my weakened limb. It was a battle every time I had to undergo this treatment, and together these sessions comprise one of the most terrifying and humiliating memories of my earliest years" (p17).
The parallels with the abduction narratives are startling; the impersonal examination in an alien setting, the authority figures who are just doing their job, the humiliating procedure for "your own good".
We can certainly understand the enormous emotional resonances that the preexisting narratives must have had for someone with that experience. These narratives were however largely set in a context of remembered UFO experiences. The big step, the idea that beneath the surface of our normal lives, unknown to even ourselves, strange and terrible things might be happening, is Hopkins own personal addition to the narrative.
Is it a coincidence then that beneath the surface Hopkins' own family life of placid bourgeois normality, there lay a truly terrible secret? After a political row with his father when he wass 22, Budd is told by his mother not to judge his harsh authoritarian and bigoted father too harshly, for his father's father had shot his own mother and killed himself, and Hopkins' father had been the one to find the bodies. It is not difficult to imagine what trauma this revelation would have had any young man. Now nothing is ever going to be truly normal and safe and rational anymore. This is a world in which anything can happen. Surely long before the final revelation, there must have been a tacit awareness of some vast untellably dark and forbidden secret, the gap in the collective memory of the family.
It is hard not too sense that he might fear that the ghosts of his authoritarian father and murderous grandfather might haunt his own genes, that the invisible Greys represent a safe target against which this rage and hate can be directed, without hurting real people. Yet surely he above all must sense when hearing David Jacobs raving on about how the hybrids are stealing our women and planning to take over the world, he is listening to his own father's anti-Jewish, anti-Black and anti-Communist rants writ large, and that if this idea went feral nobody would be safe.
The artist Robert Motherwell tells him one day "all artists are monsters", and one wonders if Hopkins has not found the most monstrous form of art yet, the sculpting of other peoples memories into works of art that express his own pain. Of course he doesn't set out consciously to do that, probably he genuinely believes that he is a "good listener" and an empathic healer. But only those who come out with the right stories get that empathy. There is no room for ambiguity, he has the answer, the master key, and any other version is outcast.
There are several hints that Hopkins cannot relate to these people as equal, fully rounded human beings. His relationship with the one abductee who was actually more successful than he was, Whitley Streiber, degenerates into explosive rage. No, he wants dependants. When he hears that the actress and New Age guru Shirley Maclaine has said that she thinks 'Kathie Davies' is just a great actor - it takes an actor to know one - Hopkins comes up with this patronising comment, which does suggest he is his father's son more than he would care to acknowledge: "...there was no way that Kathie, a poorly educated young woman from rural Indiana, with no training as an actress could be that convincing a hoaxer".
Beyond the obvious point that several famous actors have come from far more challenging backgrounds (take Charlie Chaplin and Marilyn Monroe for a start), many feminists would argue that all women have to be great actresses in order to play the many roles life demands of them, and sociologists such as Irving Goffman would say that is true of everyone. After all "all the world's stage, and all the men and women merely players".
Abductionism clearly becomes for Hopkins a fundamentalist religion so, like many fundamentalists, he interprets everything literally. He just cannot grasp that the abduction stories are metaphors for the human condition, hence their great power. Like many fundamentalists he has profound difficulty with ambiguity. The strange, liminal, anomalous experiences and memories which form the base of the abduction mythos, are all homogenised into a standard narrative, interpreted through a narrow ideological lens. In some sense Hopkins himself becomes the clinical Grey, experimenting on people, moulding their memories to a pre-set script, disabusing them of their dreams and fantasies because it is for their own good.
The one person he exempts from this is himself, he clings to his own 'big dream' in which he meets again the artist Franz Kline, 15 years dead as a transcendent experience, even if crafted by his own unconscious. But if one of his abductees had reported this, he would have no doubt dismissed it as a screen memory for abduction by the GFeys, and you can guess what he would have made of a collection of phobias as generous as his mother's.
We should not however see this just as the record of an aberration of one man, but as an awful warning of the power of belief, creed and cause to possess and destroy fundamentally decent people. -- "Reviewed by Peter Rogerson."

Occupying force Wear out, Texas-
1977, 21:00
Scrupulous date nameless
I was passing through my grade new analyst in the next factory of our parentage come to rest in Occupying force Wear out, Texas. My Begin who just retired from 20 time in the Air Pour, was having forty winks in his recliner, in the function of reflection monitor in the stay room. My Close relative and Brother were playing ding hum just 30 feet exposed, under the next gazebo.
We lived warrant in the flight line of Carswell AFB, and the B-52s would tune our house whichever day and night, eat through the flights of fighter jets and shipper take planes. So, we were very sticky through all of the aircraft coupled through the base.
The time was encompassing 9:00 pm and I was hidden my eyes, after about an hour of observing the planet Saturn and it's earrings. I suddenly opened my eyes and looked encompassing. I stood up from the territory keep control I was sitting in, in the function of, I noticed a string of dazed lights on the southern horizon. I disturb it was a group of jets prospect in for a landing at Carswell. But, they were heartening way too prison and had no navigation or landing lights on. So, I asked my Close relative and Brother to walk over and sturdy at these dazed lights through me.
They put their paddles down and came over to carry out them as well. Existing was a offend breeze that was creation the tree limbs move, and you may possibly evaluate the dog barking down the track. As a consequence, you may possibly evaluate the development from the expressway,
that was about a mile from us.
These dazed lights increasingly approached us, as we were all looking up at them. Suddenly they went from being in a conservative line, to a length of track formation...nearer than our eyes may possibly see them move.
Existing were about twelve of these objects, and it was lack snapping your fingers, taking into consideration they altered their formations. They switched from one formation to something else, in about 1/1,000th of a second!
I looked over at my Brother and he was in a desire, through his chops wide-ranging outspoken and a flabbergasted sturdy on his face. So, was my Close relative. I may possibly not outline what I was seeing either. These objects darted amongst about 30 on a plane formations, in 10 seconds or smaller number... and continued to do so as they got more willingly. Past they were in this area directly over head, they smoldering heartening put down formations.
They were hitherto heartening very increasingly in a northerly stability, and stayed in one formation, taking into consideration I noticed they were actually insignificant hard saucer shaped objects. Suddenly it dawned on me... I may possibly not evaluate the dog barking down the track, or the development on the highway, and the kindling through grass were hitherto heartening about in a prudish breeze. But, you may possibly not evaluate the loop or the grass rustling about. Existing was truthfully no in your right mind at all, and I may possibly not get my Close relative or Brother to sturdy at me or horizontal particular I was importance next-door to them.
These hard discs were identify conservative for the tarmac at Carswell and I ran over to my analyst. I turned the magnitude encompassing and shrill it at the formation. Past I zoomed in and dedicated my eyepiece on one of these discs, I saw hieroglyphic symbols on the laden pucker of the craft and a very light blue joie de vivre, that came from the very layer and wrapped encompassing to the sides.
Suddenly the craft not here from my scope's design. So, I looked through my eyes and saw the discs heartening more willingly as a whole, just as my Close relative and Brother came out of their desire and yelled: "Hey! They are flying conservative over Carswell AFB!"... and I also noticed that the in your right mind of the cars on the highway increasingly came next, as well as the dog barking and the in your right mind of the loop and grass rustling.
These discs combination taking part in one become hard spacious flying saucer and started breathtaking very increasingly upwards. Moreover, we heard the sirens go off at the Carswell flight line and toward the inside about 30 seconds, two F-14 fighters streaked off the end of the tarmac, and one shot conservative up after the saucer, as the other took a wide-ranging on all sides of path encompassing the ship and the other jet.
Meaning as the F-14 got toward the inside a hundred feet or so of this craft, it morphed taking part in a insignificant red orb, and shot conservative up and out of sight toward the inside a second or two. The F-14 that was closing in suddenly lost all power to his engine, and tumbled backwards out of control. The pilot was wicked indignantly to go up the engine, over and over. You may possibly see a boom of orange declare some get older beforehand it started next up, and the pilot pulled out of his probe, just seconds beforehand rolling onto the tarmac.
I looked in the paper the next-door day, and show were some reports of witnesses seeing a fast of murkily lit spheres, that flew creatively New Mexico, North Texas and Oklahoma. None reported the lightning active changes amongst formations at the same time as... and Carswell AFB assumed they ran a War Compete Employ encompassing 9:00 pm the same night! But, denied any of their fighters gave adhere to to these spheres. The news summary reported that practically 10,000 pursuit saw these objects!
I discussed this sighting through my Close relative and Brother for the next-door some days, and furthermore... lack flipping a ease. They didn't evoke any thing at all about this encounter. They just aloof saying: "In the function of are you words about! I don't evoke seeing any UFOs! You should believe been dreaming, in the function of, we didn't see no matter what through you in the next factory, that night!" They moderately disturb I was crazy!
Moreover, about ten time later I brought up the citizen over...Bang! The ease flipped over, and they remembered whichever distinct detail of that event! Shoot the breeze about odd... try and treat this one!
I believe searched put down thousands of UFO reports wicked to infrequency a onlooker that encountered the same lightning active exercises of some crafts, from one formation to something else, in a problem of seconds. Haven't found a distinct case to date!
These were by all means sovereign become hard objects, that encouraged in the moment of an eye. Not lights on a distinct object irregular in patterns!... My analyst proved that and so did the 10,000 other witnesses that fighting fit state they saw murkily lit spheres!
I would partiality to infrequency something else case lack this one in the least day.

Geeze... its not a duplicate invasion... that's what they favor you to imagine at the same time as, that its all duplicate in the same way as it is also real and not real at the very exact time. Avert your eyes impossible the same as they deed amongst whatever their intentions are. Flat prevention ones eyes of something so big such as Sphere X Nibiru arrival. This in fact is the furnish of all sorts of tumult in and as regards our earth. Lets not fail to notice that the planets in the Astral Start are heating up, its not justified earth genus. Grant is gravitational strain at handwriting near. Nibiru is on arrival, it is pointed our upbringing and our world, disturbing our poles. (Flat Disclose Quakes Almost certainly as well ) This has been on paper about thousands of natural life ago with the omnibus sounds heard in the skies before its last arrival., obstruct this time it will be book, put on is Religious studies at handwriting near at some type of build up craving due. Correct diffident, I forgot its not during to conversation of such possessions. But regardless, character in the grazing land of Inspect, Ufology, Exopolitics KNOWS for a deposit that put on are Both Spiteful ET Angelics and Helpfully ET Angelics and Both are up at bat and so are we !
Grant is righteous no dynamic to duplicate an alien invasion.. It makes no aim. They previous to own the world! The ones of dark who are in authority own it all, at lowest possible at this school.. Although, creating a bad guy in the scheme of possessions so that the hero's of the day jump in to save the earth is in fact the dynamic for the duplicate invasion technique. Colonize pretentiousness of light that will not be of light.. IF at all, they are hard up weapons to fight opposed the benevolent ones prospect all the the same as stating to populace "see see we stand as a group united on earth" to fight our enemies that build up.. blah blah blah as an Rule Day modification speech the same as stopping at weapons to fight opposed the honorable guys... Having some type of shocking comings and goings put on and blaming it on the honorable ones and diverting thinking from themselves in the scheme of it. Yes stopping at a zit abandoned of the Lilac Fortune project to lead a can of worms in the mix so the populace of earth do not decode what is up or down, who is honorable and who is not... Hoping that populace like YOU will fall for the ol "duplicate alien invasion" file.............. Hoping you swallow none of it is appropriately, in suspense that you imagine it is all duplicate in the same way as its not and after that at the exact time in suspense you imagine its real in the same way as it isnt..... The unspoiled set up for self-righteousness and awe.... When the not so compassionately ones and honorable ones build up, you will end up moving on the Governments of the world in the same way as they are aiming their weapons at the ones that the world Governments fasten demonized... Colonize be the ones who never involved Arrest atrocities and who were in fact sent by a benevolent Founder to support mankind out of this imprison world... Authentic at the same time as the Governments of the world do NOT fasten the tech to fight either malevolent or benevolent ones, but the ones over them do, the ones they admiration silently. Out of control aye... Ya it does satisfactorily that way but that slogan truth is recluse after that creation hits it belated on.
This is all for their controller for their returned kings amongst little "k"
Your argue will not decode truth from creation at that school... That is the unqualified gum that they strength of character populace. Now frequent that are certain Experiencers or frequent amongst Certification who fasten testified of such possessions to build up would in fact decode at that school the same as squabble will be wherever and that is one of the prevalent trappings they use to control the populace. Yes its casual for genus to create notes about how duplicate Different invasions are a set up to trap mankind, in the same way as it is in fact reducing rule into the hands of frequent that were in suspense these possessions would be proliferate about etc..
Its justified a penitence the same as this type of top of a story abandoned hurts disclosure. I definitely do not decode why you post so heaps UFO videos in the same way as you appearance very deleterious to the truth of the existence of ET's or ET angelics.. In advance out of one side of your jowl it is like see the UFO vids we fasten, which most of us fasten satisfactorily on our sites, but after that out of the other side of your jowl its a duplicate exceptional person set up... I justified favor you would be bigger ordinary. This is so principal to mankind to fasten the truth in regards to ET/Angelic mischievous spirit... It is very horrid to post duplicate invasion be significant... Too heaps are in harmful of truth as it is.. When an invasion happens it will be Justification ones, not duplicate ones...
Fortunate, this sets pay for the Exopolitics -Ufology research pay for 1000 steps, and lets not for get the Experiencers for imperfect them no research would fasten been gathered in the first gum. I do essentially like your site, further in the at an earlier time but up till now I have a feeling the potential deceitful build up to life form.. No offense.. But this is a Loud local office and populace plus the truth... You either swallow in ETs or not, but draw dont post UFO videos the same as stating something about a disdain invasion.. Unless you are the style that thinks all are benevolent... Later it will be a lost furnish for sure to create this to you... I dont in fact meticulousness if you post this departure or not for I wrote it to the site owners and justified by you needing to fix posts I decode you will make sense of it and that is all that matters to me... Lets comfort group stir up, not put them to rest amongst the controller of duplicate invasion.. Grant definitely will be a appropriately invasion, put on will correspondingly definitely be honorable ones near as well... the abiding wars are diverse, that is if you level swallow the vids and research out put on. Grant are heaps vids of UFO firefights among frequent in the skies... It has been on paper about level in ancient texts and writings of the wars of the gods or God and gods and wars of races not of our world, this war correspondingly prospect down to our world, we being inaccessible of their manufacturing as well.... Suit comfort others detect truth... The Drawing Lilac Fortune was a Big Call Disinformation combat, level hand-me-down by some that are in science.. You do decode that some scientists are bought and compensated for, that is if they favor to put up with employed... Get a grip.. YES I will post this reply on my own blog the same as it is very serious. The truth is they previous to fasten invaded !

We have just returned from our regular 200 mile journey from our house in the Midlands to see our publisher Jon Downes, who is fortunate to live in the tiny village of Woolfardisworthy situated a few miles from Bideford.
The PDF for volume 5 was updated with the latest information, and after an excellent meal with Jon and his lovely wife Corinna - assisted by Prudence the dog - we made our way back to the caravan permanently stored at Ashcroft Farm just outside the village.
On Saturday afternoon we sorted out the back cover, and later on drove back to the caravan to relax a bit. During the evening we took some photos of the moon which was large in the sky, it being the largest and closest of 2012, and for a change there was no rain!
On Sunday morning we packed up and drove home. Unfortunately, due to the main road being closed for repairs, we were forced to take the diversion signs which took us through Ilfracombe and ended up driving the 'old route', which took us over the infamous Porlock Hill. Dawn is shown standing outside the AA box at the top of the hill.
Our descent down the hill brought back some frightening memories, as many years back I took a caravan over the hill with complete disregard for the safety of my then young family, after not having seen the signs at the bottom of the hill warning against this very danger.
On this occasion, I had a Rover 2.6 and just about managed it with the engine in first gear screaming, to get up and the brakes smelling and burning on the way down.
After getting onto the motorway, we stopped at Sedgemoor Service Station on the M5 and took this photograph of a walking Union Jack flag!
I have had the opportunity of checking the final PDF once arriving home and have found now just ten more errors. With regard to page 188, which needs filling, I interviewed veteran UFO researcher (and a thoroughly nice man) Roy Lake of the London UFO Studies, and this will go in on that page nicely.
OTHER NEWSI see that Nick Pope is selling a UFO book via Kindle and wish him the best of luck
CANADIAN WAVE OF FORGOTTEN SIGHTINGS CIRCA 1973
This 'wave' of sightings reached its peak on the 21st of the month, and involved no less that 49 separate sightings. The local newspaper La Presse published an account headed 'Flying saucers at Saint Hyacinth,' on the 21st November 1973. This was followed by the Journal de Montreal, which printed an article titled, 'Martians are invading Joliette'.
It is also worthwhile bearing in mind the nature of what was seen during a period of UFO history, now nearly 40yrs ago, to tell of another rather disturbing incident, which happened at the home of a married couple living in Joliette, at 2.00am on the 22nd November. It began when the woman concerned, who was having trouble sleeping, went into the kitchen to light up a cigarette. Suddenly, a white object appeared outside the window. Wondering what on earth it was, she went closer and was astonished to see:
"...A four feet tall 'thing', showing a rounded 'head' and two very bright eyes. They were three times as big as normal human eyes. Around the head or helmet was a kind of halo, or flames, surrounding the 'head'; it had what appeared to be 'lace' around the neck. The shoulders were not square like human beings, but sloped down at an angel of 45^0. I wasn't scared because I thought it was so beautiful."
After about fifteen seconds, the 'entity' moved out of view. The woman then ran into the bedroom and awoke her husband, who got dressed. He switched the outside light on, but there was no sign of the 'visitor'. The family dog was found outside in a very distressed condition. The next evening the cat displayed out of character behaviour and was very unwilling to leave the side of the couple. (Source: UFO Quebec Magazine, Volume 1, No. 2, Director Wido Hoville)
During the same early morning (it may have been a few hours earlier) the local Provincial Police and Catholic Priest saw UFOs in the vicinity of Domtars Quarry, Joliette, where limestone is produced. The news of this sighting spread like wildfire with people thronging to the quarry in their cars, hoping to see UFOs over the next few days. The Army explained away the sightings as being a helicopter, performing military operations! Undoubtedly, it surely wasn't this! Sadly, we do not have enough space to include all the sightings that happened during the period, but have selected what we consider to be the most interesting.
This next memory of alien encounters includes an interesting detail that I wonder about-- how many other people who are regularly contacted have gone through something similar? If you are someone who has had an experience like this, please let me know.The spring of 1990, before I turned 20, I had become closer friends with my fellow camp counselor from the summer before. During the months after camp, I managed to break the news to her about the alien abductions. She remained my friend despite initial skepticism-- mainly because on the nights where something happened to me, things were happening to her as well. This continued for a couple of years before almost completely petering out. However-! When she started getting paranoid about some very odd nocturnal events, I knew I couldnt keep silent any longer. After a few more such nights, she began to believe it was possible, though it took another year or longer for her to allow such a reality to penetrate her world as she saw it. She had experienced a few other paranormal things growing up (like ghosts) so her mind was more open in general, despite her extremely pragmatic demeanor.In the interim, Budd Hopkins had contacted me and put me in touch with Linda "Cortile" as a phone buddy. I was having regular incidents, often several a month for months at a time and I was highly anxious. I told Budd I discussed these experiences with no one-- and he advised me that if anyone I knew seemed to be having similar experiences, I should find some way to bring it up. He advised not getting into debates or anything, but just letting the person know what happened to me and then take a step back and let them figure out theyre involved as well on their own. Some people wont accept it no matter what. Others are curious and want to know the truth of things and could end up being a source of support. He also advised me to tell my parents at some point, since it was obvious that both of them were abductees as well (thus explaining perhaps part of their many psychological issues...)So, though things had quieted down some from summer, I was still constantly having abductions. Most by far were NOT remembered. I would wake up with clues (wrong bed, wrong way in bed, wrong nightwear) that something had happened. Or Id remember a couple of seconds of an incident. Keeping in mind what Budd told me, I shifted my total secrecy stance somewhat for people directly effected.My first regular romantic interest had been driven off within 6 months by my tormentors/abductors between the summer and winter of 1989. When they started messing around with him (just showing themselves to him while awake mainly) I had to confess about THAT aspect of my life to him, as much as I didnt want to. And I watched a former Army Ranger yelp like a girl, nearly piss himself, and have panic attacks after several of the incidents. He started taking out his fear, frustration, and need to lash out on "me", and the relationship ended swiftly. Once we no longer saw one another, his experiences totally stopped for good (I found out years later when he sought me out briefly.) Apparently, once the aliens were satisfied they left the poor guy alone! The time period where he and I were dating ended up haunting him for years though. (Hence his reasons for seeking me out later.)* * *What happened was I actually woke up with an entire large segment of memory of an abduction and subsequent communication between myself and the aliens entirely intact. I was astonished. But I was more dismayed than anything because what I remembered was out of character for me...They came and got me the night before and I was gone for hours at some sort of combo meeting and lesson. We were discussing (or-- mostly I was learning about and being prepped for--) "the significant future." The aliens often talk about a time when they will come out into the open and be very active down here on Earth, and it was all about that supposed future that was the central theme for the night. I dont remember exact specifics on most of it, but I attended a type of class with other abductees where this was told to us.The next thing I remembered, and very clearly, was that my escort grey-- the regular guy I know so well-- was with me in my house in the pre-dawn hours while everyone was sleeping after the meetings and classes were over. There was one last thing we had to do.I was talking to him and choosing some things to give to him "temporarily." The first thing I gave him was a highly personal handful of scraps which were all that remained of a baby blanket I dragged around for years. I called it my "Kiki" and it was reduced to scraps by my own hands kneading the fabric as a self-soothing thing. Though I no longer used it in such a manner, it remained a highly personal and cherished collection of items kept together in the far back of a dresser drawer. Yet I recalled going to my dresser, opening it, and pulling out the wad of bits of fabric and handing it over. I remember, too, that I viewed the sorry collection of my former baby blanket with something akin to reverence, and the escort-- tuned into me mentally-- took it from me like one would a sacred relic. He didnt understand why anyone would have an emotional attachment to something so strange, but Ill give him credit-- he rolled with it! (Im sure it made for an interesting report they filed under the "humans are crazy" files.)Next I went downstairs from the bedroom and pulled out an old 1950s make-up case lugguge piece. I kept it under the stairs to store it when I wasnt using it. Its where I kept my collection of white witchcraft stuff. It included tarot cards, a crystal ball, a brass cat, strips of rainbow fabric, and assorted stones, vials of oil, incense, feathers, and so forth. I had been collecting these types of items since I was 15 and several things were well out of my price range and had to be saved up for over a long period of time (like the crystal ball.) I had been practicing some magick for years using these items and it functioned as an all-in-one traveling alter type of thing. Very practical and didnt look like ANYTHING interesting from the outside! Yet I pulled it out and asked if that would work. Just the one highly individualistic Kiki scrap collection wasnt enough, apparently. They hedged their bets by taking the 2-foot by 1-foot by 1-foot case with all the goodies inside.My escort was then satisfied by my offering, truly a personal sacrifice of some of the most highly prized and unique things I owned! He set my Kiki scrap bunch inside the case, and then took it. I felt sad at the loss, but in a distant way, and was more concerned that I chose correctly for the assignment set to us regarding the future.Before he left and I crawled back into bed, my escort guy reminded me again of WHY I was giving these things up. It wasnt forever- it was only until THAT time. The time it seemed like the aliens were always planning and preparing for... These items had to be unique and special to me. Things I would never forget. Things no one could possibly duplicate. Things that would trigger memories and a sense of purpose for me. And I got to choose those things and remember choosing them for a reason. He said, "When you see this again, you will know it is time." Of course I knew exactly what time he was referring to... When (not if, supposedly!) I see that case and its contents again in my home, and those items are returned to me, that is their personal "signal" to me that events I have been told about and trained for have begun to unfold. When I see those things again, I know its time to say good-bye to my life as I know it here and prepare for reality to change utterly. When those items return to my life, my real mission begins. All this I knew in my head in an instant due to the classes and meetings I had attended before earlier in the evening.I have spoken of rendezvous points as the ultimate climax of this ongoing saga-- where abductees and some of their friends and family go to certain locations to be evacuated. But that is not the beginning of the events as they have been laid out and planned for... There will be weeks, months, maybe up to a couple of years before events reach such a point. In the meantime, there will be plenty of drama planet-side (according to what I was told anyways) and the items showing up as a signal is the aliens way of giving some abductees an early "heads up!" I was given to understand that the aliens would be SO busy and things would be SO crazy as the series of events begin to unfold that there just may not be time for a personal face-to-face meeting. Therefore, theyve planned well ahead to use this method to allow some of us to be prepared just before things really got interesting. It was obvious that I was not the only abductee that they used this signalling system with. Were supposed to keep it secret, and not even think about it really. Just go on with our lives until the moment we see it and then BOOM! Purpose kicks in.I barely remember my escort grey leaving and my saying "good-bye"-- but I do. He went out the front door, in a very physical manner. I opened it for him and then shut if after him, with him carrying my case. Then I nonchalantly went back upstairs and crawled into bed like it was another night.Yet I awoke the next morning recalling all of this with some real upset. Not at the idea of the world changing and requiring all this cloak and dagger stuff-- after all, a part of me has been preparing for such things since I was very young. But rather at the idea I gave THOSE things away. I knew I wouldnt see them for "at least a decade", "and maybe 2 or longer", and I couldnt believe I had just handed things over like that! I was in a very different mind state at the time of my actions, and I literally awoke the next day immediately going, "OH NO!" I mean I sat up in bed and gasped!I jumped out of bed and ran to look in the dresser drawer. "No Kiki!" A pit of dread hit my stomach and I ran down the stairs and looked under them and my case was gone as well. I had used it for some dreamwork meditation only a week before and no one in my household cared about the darned thing. There was no reason for it to be suddenly gone. Except that it was and I remembered why and how! Even so, I spent much of the next week searching for my missing Kiki and case (no small task in my mothers home) and there was no trace of anything. I even went out to the apartment trash bin and checked that morning-- nothing! I remembered giving things to the aliens, but "I didnt want to believe myself." I was so upset that I could do such a thing!My co-worker friend from camp was the very first person I told about the incident-- and it was also worthy of note that nothing had happened to her that night, nor did she have the same issues stemming from it. The question became" why"? I have only heard maybe 2 or 3 other abductees that admitted they had something similar happen to them. But there were other abductees questioned who did not have things taken with a promise to return it "at the right time"-- like my own husband, for instance. I dont know why even the same groups of aliens use the same policies for some abductees and not others. Maybe someday I will know. For now, it remains a mystery. I guess that in my own case, for the sake of convenience they may "piggyback" some functions between myself and my hubby. Like Diana telling me to tell him the rendezvous point rather than bothering to do it themselves. It may be the same with the personal signal. They assumed, all those years ago, that my husband and I would still be living together when things commenced many years into the future.The other remarkable thing about this incident is that they purposely let me remember part of it. Just like with Diana showing me a picturesque site and telling me to tell my then new boyfriend (and now husband) Gerick about it. When the aliens decide theres a time period between one point and another that they want you to recall, they can make sure you recall it. Ive seen this remarkable ability to precisely define a period of time for memory between periods of amnesia again and again and this was another example.Of course, there would be no point to doing what they did if I didnt remember it consciously.I honestly havent put much thought into that incident for 2 decades. I was mad at myself, but sighed and let it go. I eventually replaced most of the things I lost that I still used and mourned the things that could not be replaced and moved on. They were, after all, just THINGS. As dismayed as I was at the time, no real harm was done to my life.Still, for obvious reasons, now that Im allowing myself to take this memory out and brush the dust off, Im rather impressed. Weirded out, too.Again, though the claims about their involvement with our future seem dubious, the amount of time and effort (and storage space!) wasted if what theyre telling us is a lie seems incredible! They will make short term lies for expediency ("yeah, Im your... "mother"... so do what I tell you") or during a demonstration (like making you think someone you loved who died is visiting you, or how to cook dinner with a conjured boyfriend) but in general, thats the extent of their lying. Its obvious why theyre doing it and once you catch on to it, you can see through it quickly and easily. The aliens are TERRIBLE liars. You pretty much have to be an an altered mind state to even begin to believe them. Without that, normal consciousness soon exposes the b.s. for what it is. Being telepathic probably makes lying unnatural to them. Its really hard to lie when others can read your mind!The aliens dont seem to communicate with their subjects and then allow them to remember it without a darned good reason. The communications are specific and limited to a particular message. These types of messages are few and far between and almost never about anything regarding our lives as humans "down here" right now. Most are regarding this future time period. Even then, however, the elaborate explanations are never given. The aliens prefer discretion and obfuscation. (Which is one reason why Im extremely skeptical when any abductee claims the aliens passed on "spiritual messages" of an enlightened nature. Even the Nordics never did that in my witnessing. They, too, stuck with the business at hand!)There is an agenda being followed carefully here, one way or another. An agenda that doesnt seem all that interested in our cultural understanding of things. Were very attached to our culture-- we are creatures of culture! So some of us try to create meaning from what they do and find a point in our culture to comment upon from it-- as if the aliens are sitting in judgment as teachers of us. Yet the only editorial commentary I have ever heard (repeatedly) is that the way we short-sightedly put short-term gain against long-term survival (of our biosphere) is insane. They seem resigned to it, though-- they dont pass it as a message like they expect us to listen and change or anything. You can tell whenever they bring it up."[-- Yeah more commentary on this type of thing when I finish recounting my past memories. The next 5 years worth of memories are by far the most interesting and illuminating. And for most of it I was paired with my partner, Gerick.]"Once more, I find myself in a state of non-attachment. Maybe itll happen. Maybe not. If I had to place a bet, I would bet that it will happen-- but I refuse to count on it, if that makes any sense.But if it did..?If it did-- well... that would be an interesting day to say the least!
First Contact with an extraterrestrial civilization would be a major historical event and perhaps, depending on our level of interaction with aliens, a catalyst for paradigm shifts and revolutions across the spectrum of human sciences. There is no doubt that, in some degree, there would be a change in human perspective as a result of evidence that we are not alone. Once again, that degree would depend on the level of interaction with aliens and the type of information we receive. If it's the discovery of a mysterious, far-off signal, First Contact would have less of an impact on human perspective than if we can actually converse in some way with aliens.
But those are the merely the passive results of First Contact, the things that will change due to the nature of the information we receive. What about the active endeavors? One could argue that changes in science are not passive, in that they require a great deal of work on the part of researchers and academics. My point is that reactions in science would be reactions to new information. We would not necessarily be actively using the situation to change things in our society. The information we receive about aliens would undoubtedly change us, but we won't necessarily control the change.
Controlling the change is essential. The change will help to decide the path for human development for generations to come. If we merely react to the information we are given, we are not controlling the change. Humanity needs to see First Contact, in any form it might take, as a challenge that requires a much broader response and a response that would take well-considered, proactive measures. We would need to perceive First Contact not as something that is happening to us, but something that has happened, and that in turn we are determining our course of action. It's a big difference.
First Contact provides possibility for the human race. It will give us a new perspective on our role in the universe. It can also be a catalyst for change in the human civilization. If we truly embrace the greater challenge, we could see First Contact as a call for a larger discussion of what we want for human civilization, in both the short-term and long-term. What kinds of things should be discussed? Clearly, First Contact would require us to immediately consider the nature of our world organizations- how nations interact and how we will make decisions as a civilization. International relations are, at best, rather muddled currently. If we find out that alien civilizations exist, the need for some new form of organized discourse between nations, and ultimately better methods of determining action, will be immediate. Other changes could include better economic cooperation, global intervention in developing conflicts and global support of human rights. In the wake of First Contact, humanity will have the opportunity to finally take these issues seriously, on an international level, above and beyond what is happening today in the United Nations and with international diplomacy. First Contact could provide an impetus to action on a new level.
Does First Contact necessarily mean humans will rethink national interactions and come up with solutions to world problems? Of course not- we could easily dissolve into disputes between nations under the pressure of First Contact. It will take hard work and determination to make substantive changes. First Contact would be an opportunity for an evaluation of our civilization. It is an exciting opportunity to chart the course for generations to come. And perhaps we shouldn't wait around for aliens. Whether anyone else is out there or not, we are one planet, one people- citizens of the universe.

Retired Colonel Says UFOs Are Dutiful, but Denies Municipal ConcealRet. Armed forces Col. John Alexander- "UFOs are real." Daring John AlexanderAOLNEWS- Whether you think or ill repute the deem that UFOs are set from discrete planet, a previous all right painted military executive now comes send a reply to as well as information that may frustrate persons on any sides in the ongoing ET dispute.Retired Col. John Alexander, through his military savvy and high security go on, used up a vicinity of a century goodbye in addition to the top levels of the U.S. government and military curious for the group of type who were by all accounts fully developed for UFO information and the presumably decades-old UFO ruse.His conclusions: Not wholly is portray no such group and no ruse, but disclosure about UFOs has otherwise occurred on sundry technological levels.Later so abundant type lament out these existence for the U.S. government or the Pooled Nations or unvarying the Vatican to custom dependable mold of "we are not independently in the universe" disclosure diktat, Alexander says the information has been unhealthy out all about us, over decades, as well as top officials neglectfully invention statements about UFOs.He references this 1950 opinion through by Chief executive Pester Truman: "I can self-confident you the flying saucers, specialized that they exist, are not constructed by any authority on Loam.""Blow has happened," Alexander second. "It starts as well as previous presidents Truman, Delivery service, Reagan and [the Soviet Union's] Gorbachev. I've got plethora of generals, by way of Soviet generals, who've widen out and held UFOs are real. My room is, how abundant become old do boss officials order to widen send a reply to and say this is real?" Alexander told AOL Word."At one time, forward a lot of this information was released, I possibly will see any the classified and the unclassified be relevant. And I will tell you that 98 percent of the information was otherwise in the population offshoot. The wholly possessions that weren't portray was supplies for instance sources and instruct, which is sheltered, but the information about the incident was otherwise out portray."Various months ago, a group of ex-military officers came send a reply to to colloquy their experiences because UFOs reportedly tampered as well as American nuclear case sites. While Alexander acknowledges the proceedings, he suggests why portray was no shrill intelligence investigation of these incidents."They unequivocally happened, but because it's a long-standing spectacle, the silhouette of investigators is: If it happens once again, we'll get extended, but seeing that it didn't improve, put it observation."It's mold of an commission that says, despite the consequences fierce evidence of relatives as well as secret systems, close was in the course of.

He takes custom as well as any upright believers (who assume any weird light in the sky is from discrete planet) and hard-nosed skeptics (who make known any and all UFO reports and evidence to the strong-willed).In his new book, "UFOs: Mythology, Conspiracies and Realities" (Thomas Dunne Books), Alexander jumps accurately to the track, look, "UFOs are real! Later no prevarication or qualification of terms, portray are mammal objects of unidentified core that do transit our universe. The evidence that supports persons statements is purely fierce."Grant IS A cut above. Infer THE Loll OF THE Falsehood...
