UFOs OBSERVED AROUND THE UNITED STATES: Reports of UFOs continue from New
Jersey, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Kentucky,
Illinois, and California. The Disclsoure Project may help disclose Star Wars
and UFOs and Air Safety.
PRESIDENT PUSHES FOR SPACE BASED WEAPONS
Washington Times headlines for May 2 stated, "Bush favors space-based arms
for missile defense" A new push for SDI (Stars Wars) weaponry is now
gathering force within the executive branch. This is in addition to the Anti
Ballistic Missile systems proposals. The US and Russia are now allegedly
allies. The new 'Star Wars' proposals make me wonder who are we fighting
against?
THE CAMPAIGN FOR UFO DISCLOSURE will be broadcast on Wednesday, May 9, 2001, Live at 9:00 AM Eastern time. Over twenty military, intelligence,
government, corporate and scientific witnesses will come forward at the
National Press Club in Washington, DC to establish the reality of UFOs or
extraterrestrial vehicles, extraterrestrial life forms, and resulting
advanced energy and propulsion technologies. The weight of this firsthand
testimony, along with supporting government documentation and other evidence,
will establish without any doubt the reality of these phenomena, according to
Dr. Steven M. Greer, director of the Disclosure Project which is hosting the
event.
Among the witnesses attending the event are: John Callahan, former Division
Chief of the Accidents and Investigations Branch, FAA; Master Sergeant Dan
Morris, former US Air Force and NRO operative with cosmic top secret
clearance; Dr. Carol Rosin, space missile defense consultant and former
spokesperson for Wernher Von Braun; Graham Bethune, retired Navy commander
pilot with a top-secret clearance; Michael Smith, former Air Traffic
Controller, US Air Force; Sergeant Clifford Stone, United States Army; Lt.
Col. Robert Salas, former SAC Launch Controller, US Air Force and FAA, and
myself Major George A. Filer III, former Air Force Intelligence Officer and
flier. We are asking for Congressional, White House and UN action to allow
witnesses to testify under oath in open hearings. We are requesting a
Presidential Executive Order to protect witnesses afraid of violating
security oaths and to declassify documents and secret projects for the
benefit of all world citizens. There are reports that CNN may also carry the
broadcast if it is a slow news day.
UFOs AND AIR SAFETY
Journalist Leslie Kean writes that, "In January, Agence France Presse
reported that a Siberian airport was shut for 11/2 hours while a luminescent
unidentified flying object hovered above its runway." Although it's hard to
imagine such an event-taking place in the industrialized United States, a
compelling October 2000 study by a retired aerospace scientist from NASA-Ames
Research Center shows that similar incidents have occurred in American skies
over the last 50 years. "Aviation Safety in America -- A Previously
Neglected Factor" presents more than 100 pilot and crew reports of encounters
with unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) that appear to have compromised
aviation safety.
Author Richard F. Haines, formerly NASA's chief of the Space Human Factors
Office and a Raytheon contract scientist, is chief scientist for the National
Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena (NARCAP), a research
organization founded last year. In stunning detail, pilots and crew describe
a range of geometric forms and lights inconsistent with known aircraft or
natural phenomena. Bizarre objects paced aircraft at relatively near
distances, sometimes disabling cockpit instruments, interrupting ground
communications, or distracting the crew.
The data include 56 near misses. Impulsive responses by pilots to an
approaching high-speed object can be hazardous; in a few cases, such violent
evasive reactions injured passengers and flight attendants. However, Haines
states that there is no threat of a collision caused directly by UAPs
"because of the reported high degree of maneuverability shown by the UAP."
While flying over Lake Michigan in 1981, TWA Capt. Phil Schultz saw a "large,
round, silver metal object" with dark portholes equally spaced around the
circumference that "descended into the atmosphere from above," according to
his hand-written report. Schultz and his first officer braced themselves for
a mid-air collision; the object suddenly made a high-speed turn and departed.
Veteran Japan Airlines 747 Capt. Kenju Terauchi reported a spectacular
prolonged encounter over Alaska in 1986. "Most unexpectedly, two space ships
stopped in front of our face, shooting off lights," he said. "The inside
cockpit shined brightly and I felt warm in the face." Despite the Federal
Aviation Administration's determination that he and his crew were stable,
competent, and professional, he was grounded for speaking out. In 1997, a
Swissair Boeing 747 over Long Island just missed a glowing, white,
cylindrical object speeding toward the plane. According to an FAA Civil
Aviation Security Office memorandum, pilot Philip Bobet said that "if the
object was any lower, it may have hit the right wing."
Ground-systems operators have also been affected by UAP. "The element of
surprise means a decrease in safety because it diverts the attention of
air-traffic controllers that should be focused on landing planes. That is a
danger," says Jim McClenahen, a recently retired FAA air-traffic-control
specialist and NARCAP technical adviser. "Aviation Safety in America" does
not attempt to explain the origin of these mysterious objects. But Haines
writes that hundreds of reports, some dating back to the 1940s, "suggest that
they [UAPs] are associated with a very high degree of intelligence,
deliberate flight control, and advanced energy management."
In the 1950s, pilots and crews reported seeing flying discs, cigar-shaped
craft with portholes, and gyrating lights, all with extraordinary technical
capabilities. Documents show the unexplained objects were considered a
national security concern. By order of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, commercial
pilots were required to report sightings and the unauthorized release of a
UFO report could cost them 10 years in prison or a $10,000 fine. To keep
this information from the public, officials ridiculed and debunked legitimate
sightings, angering some pilots. According to the Newark Star Ledger in
1958, more than 50 commercial pilots who had reported sightings, each with at
least 15 years of major airline experience, blasted the policy of censorship
and denial as "bordering on the absolutely ridiculous."
These pilots said they were interrogated by the Air Force, sometimes all
night long, and then "treated like incompetents and told to keep quiet,"
according to one pilot. "The Air Force tells you that the thing that paced
your plane for 15 minutes was a mirage or a bolt of lightening," he told the
Star-Ledger. "Nuts to that. Who needs it?" As a result, many pilots
"forget" to report their sightings at all, one pilot said. According to a
1952 Air Force Status Report on UFOs for the Air Technical Intelligence
Center, pilots were so humiliated that one told investigators, "If a space
ship flew wing-tip to wing-tip formation with me, I would not report it."
The vast majority of sightings by American pilots are still not reported.
The media perpetuate the censorship and ridicule, handicapping the collection
of valuable data.
However, such dismissals may soon lose ground. Next Wednesday, John
Callahan, former division chief of the Accidents and Investigations Branch of
the FAA, will disclose FAA documentation and subsequent CIA suppression of
the Terauchi encounter over Alaska. Callahan will be joined by more than 20
other government and military witnesses, and dozens more on videotape, at a
National Press Club briefing to challenge official secrecy about this
subject. Retired United Airlines Capt. Neil Daniels, whose DC-10 was forced
into a left turn because of magnetic interference of cockpit compasses by a
brilliant UAP, is among the many who want change. "The energies out there
are absolutely profound," he says. "I think we need to know what they are."

NEW JERSEY FAST MOVING OBJECTS
SUSSEX -- Brian Shaw writes that on May 6, 2001, at around 7:30 PM, my dad
and I drove over a hill and got a good veiw of strange things in the sky.
They were shiny orange dots above the mountains in the Sunset sky. We saw
two objects. One was either a disk or it was a meteor debris trail. It
either went below the horizon or simply disappeared, but as some vanished a
few more kept popping up. Some were spots and some were disk shaped. My Mom
saw one towards the end of the event, which was definitely like a meteor.
One was moving faster than the others and left a trail behind it. The show
ended as they all sank below the horizon or just vanished. We definitely
were not imagining seeing these things, because other people were staring up
into the Northwest part of the sky just over the Sunset. We saw at least ten
or twelve objects there may have been more. Thanks to Brian Shaw --

Editor's Note: Last weekend, Earth passed through a trail of dusty debris
from distant Comet Halley, triggering the annual eta Aquarid meteor shower.
The nearly-full Moon reduced the visibility of this year's shower. It seems
unlikely you could have seen these during sunset because of its light. Most
of the observations were seen in the south an hour before local sunrise on
Saturday and Sunday. It's a good chance you saw some UFOs. For more
information visit http://SpaceWeather.com
HAWTHORNE, NJ -- Tom Sheets and ISUR report that Daniel Dorval saw a strange
flying pyramid shaped flying object in June of 1998 at 10:15 PM. The object
was thirty feet on a side and fifty feet off the ground. It was all black
and moved very slow. There was no sound. Daniel says, "The craft had a
mirror like reflecting surface, because I could see my self in the bottom as
it passed over." Thanks to Tom Sheets and ISUR.
VIRGINIA FLYING TRIANGLE HOOVERS OVER TOWN
BUENA VISTA - The National Reporting Center reports that two friends were
walking home on April 25, 2001, when they looked up into the sky and noticed
a small triangular shaped craft at 3:40 AM. One witness stated, "We both
looked to see if it could possibly be wings of a plane, but there was no back
end to the plane." He says, "It had a bright 'headlight' leading its course,
that I myself have never seen on an airplane." Extruding from the sides were
small green lights on each end. The witness explained, "I'm familiar with
red lights on a plane, but never in pairs." Even though the craft was flying
at low altitude, it was not making the slightest noise. Our town was quiet as
could be at 3:40 AM. The craft was hovering, not as much flying. Although
it was late, neither one of us were drastically tired, intoxicated, nor had
any drugs in our bodies and are truthful behind what we saw. Although there
are three airports in a 50-mile radius, this craft was a strange flying
triangle with side green lights, and a bright headlight. Thanks to Peter
Davenport Director of NUFORC.
ROANOKE -- Andy and Robin Hodge writes, "Last week, you posted our sighting
of a pair of flying orbs on Monday, April 23rd in Filer's Files #18 over
Roanoke. My email address was included. I thought you would like to know, we
just received an email from a fellow in Midlothian, Virginia who said he and
his girlfriend also saw a pair of flying orbs on Friday, April 27th. I just
thought you would like to know that other is seining the same things. :)
Thanks to Robin Hodge ahodge@roava.net
NORTH CAROLINA FLYING TRIANGLE
CHADBOURN -- The witness reports, I was in my yard on May 4, 2001, as we live
in a rural area. We enjoy looking at the stars my wife and I enjoy the
evening stars. A strange craft shaped like Flying Triangle flew over. At
first, I thought it might be a military aircraft, but my husband built
aircraft, and said that, "It was not one of ours, including area 51 special
aircraft."
SOUTH CAROLINA SIGHTING
MYRTLE BEACH -- Well on May 1,-2001, at exactly 10:00 PM, my friend and I
were walking on the beach, and we sat down looking towards the Atlantic
Ocean, We at first saw five lights all in a line which kind of curved around.
The object came half way thought the clouds, then it started backing up
slowly to the right. A second object with five more lights became visible
while the other one was backing up. The one on the left then disappeared,
while the one to the right backed up really fast and vanished. Now these
lights to the left were all lined up in the same pattern as the first set we
saw. There was three elderly people out there that saw the same thing. We
all came to the conclusion that it couldn't have been an airplane, because it
was to low to the ocean. It was not fireworks, and they didn't make any
sound at all! There were no boats out in the ocean either. Thanks to Barry
Taylor -stingray@nor.com.au
FLORIDA "UFO SIGHTING BY AUSTRALIAN
CAPE CANAVERAL -- I just returned from USA where the vast majority do not
believe in UFOs. Newspaper disinformation is successful. I saw one strange
craft in Central Florida (quick white-red flash, erratic low flight over
marsh) but nothing close. More importantly, heard of new abduction case ca.
1990 just inland from Cape Canaveral, involving two very prominent Florida
citizens during 4:00 AM turkey shoot. There was a 100 meter craft overhead,
1.5 hours lost without memory, and scars on both people afterward. The full
report made it to top US law officials, but there was no public notice. I
referred to reputable US investigators, may possibly come out if the
individuals are brave. Thanks to Woof, red collie Australia
SEBASTIAN -- On April 25, 2001, I saw the UFO approaching from the northeast.
"It was a big cylinder-shaped object with something like a sphere on the
front," he reported, "If I were to guess, that is where they control the ship
from. I know that what I saw was something really odd and not a UFO but it
looked like one to me, for sure." " It was a silvery black cylinder with a
sphere on the front. It was way up there, maybe 30,000 feet (9,900 meters)
and it moved slow at the beginning but then began to move extremely quick"
before departing to the southwest. Thanks to UFO ROUNDUP Volume 6, Number 18

KENTUCKY FLYING TRIANGLE
GLASGOW -- While driving on Cumberland Parkway the witnesses noticed five
white lights about 5 miles from the tollbooth in Barren County on April 21,
2001. The series of lights were shaped like a flying triangle moving slowly
towards the southeast at 8:00 PM. The witness stated, "It took about five
minutes for the object to intersect my truck at its zenith over the toll
both. I paid my toll, went down about 1/2 mile, and pulled off to the
shoulder of the road. The craft was very, very low and the far-left light
had a single red strobe. My wife got out and we measured this object with
our outstretched arms. It was very huge and covered the distance of five
human hands at arm's length. It was like looking at a 747 a couple of
hundred feet above the tarmac at an airport. I was completely amazed at the
lack of engine noise. The witnesses stated, "The object was triangle-shaped
and similar to a boomerang, but with well-defined sharp corners." They stood
there for two minutes as the craft slowly drifted a couple more degrees
southeast. While still directly above them the craft accelerated gaining
altitude. It moved rapidly past the horizon in about 15 seconds. By the
time we got the camera and snapped a picture it was too far away to get
anything of use on the film. The city of Louisville had its annual "Thunder
over Louisville" that same night so this event may be related to the air
show. The witness said, "I never saw an aircraft that low that did not make
an engine sounds. Additionally, it traversed 90 degrees of sky in 15
seconds. Thanks to Peter Davenport
ILLINOIS SPHERES
WILDWOOD -- On April 26, 2001, the witness was looking out her window, which
gives a panoramic view of the East Grayslake. The witness reports, "I saw
two rather large glowing objects in the distance at two minutes before
midnight. They remained stationary separately moved away after midnight."
He stated, "I was awestruck and was waiting for movement, but they continued
to hover for about five minutes when suddenly the lower left craft started
moving towards the west until I lost sight of it." The object moved very
fast, but it was not instantaneous. The other object stayed, so he went to
get binoculars from the dinning room. Just as he got back to the window the
object started moving. He raised his binoculars, but before he could focus
the object started moving west. The objects were observed as rather large
lights, but they had an oblong symmetrical shape. The witness stated, "While
watching, I also had the sensation that something zoomed past my window just
above the roof of my house. There was no noise. He said, "I feel they were
UFO's and that means just what it is intended to stand for, "Un-Identified
Flying Objects!"
CALIFORNIA FLIGHT OF SIX CHEVRON SHAPED CRAFT.
MANHATTAN BEACH -- On April 24, 2001, the witness observed a craft from his
roof top deck. He was lying in his hot tub at 9:25 PM and gazing up at the
night sky when a flight of six objects flew east at a high rate of speed.
The witness lives on the coastline, so the craft were coming in from over the
ocean. He did not know their altitude, but they high enough so no details on
the craft were visible. All craft appeared to be the same and gave off a
faint whitish glow (with a slight cast of yellow), just enough to make them
visible. The craft were in perfect separation as they passed overhead.
Three of the craft broke off and changed heading to the east. The other
three maintained course for a couple seconds then joined up on the first
three. Perfect separation was maintained at all times. No sound was heard.
The craft disappeared several seconds' later, still headed approximately 070
degrees. At first I thought they were birds, then jets, since I used to fly
A-4's fighters in the service. What got me was the sudden brake off movement
of the first three, with no roll movement observed when they changed course.
They seemed to simply "translate" over, for want of a better word. In
addition, the speed seemed very high, and the separation was too perfect. I
have seen many flight demonstration teams, but nothing like that. Flying
that type of perfect formation would be very difficult for a military jet.
In addition, some sort of roll movement is required to change heading that
quickly. Thanks to Jeff Rense and Sightings.
FRANCE: ARE UFOs MINING CHALK FOR UFO PROPULSION
I received a letter from Jo Glapan a former French College professor. In
gratitude for sending him my files, he sent a copy of his book dealing with
UFO propulsion, that I'm having translated from French. He claims that UFOs
use CaCO3 (Calcium Carbonate) in their propulsion systems. This is mostly
chalk or calcareous earthly substance of opaque white colors, soft, and
easily pulverized. I think they have been robbing our planet for thousands
of years. That's why we find enormous caves under the seas in the Bahamas or
Australia. I hope my gritting ideas will show you that our "formal science
is not quite honest-there are too many holes --- or lies.
Thanks to Jo Glapan
Editor's Note: Calcium Carbonate is a variety of limestone, calcium and is
composed mainly of small seashells but may include bones, teeth, and plant
ash. It is used in making lime. Calcium Carbonate is a crystalline compound
found mainly in limestone, marble, and chalk. I was discussing Jo's letter
with Nancy Talbot who mentioned that most crop circles are sitting on chalk
or limestone. Its thought that water filtering through the porous chalk soil
attracts the electrical or microwave energy that is associated with crop
circles. We speculated that UFOs are often seen near crop circles and there
appears to some relationship that Jo Glapan's statements would substantiate.
Earthlights or discharges of electrical ball lights are often observed near
Crop Circles. These crop circles in turn are often situated near megalith
prehistoric stone monuments such as Stonehenge. These sites often include
dolmens that are large prehistoric tombs or monuments consisting of large,
flat stones laid across large upright stones. These monuments are found all
over the world often in circular configurations. These monuments frequently
contain electrically charged areas. I personally visited many of these sites
in England, Greece, and Turkey. The sites are often tied to beliefs in
healing, and fertility. Through the ages people learned these sites helped
increase the growth of crops, the successful birth of off spring, prosperity
and happiness. A person who sees the grandeur and intricacy of crop circles
realizes that there is some powerful force at work. In recent weeks the
Earth has been pounded by radiation from solar flares and coronal mass
discharges. It is reasonable to assume some of this energy does more than
light up the sky with Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights). The incredible
energy may react inside the chalk and limestone soil creating the Crop
Circles.
I was wondering if any of our readers are chemists, scientists, or electrical
engineers who would care to comment on these findings. The first UFO book I
read was by Ivan Sanderson called "Invisible Residents." He contends that
large numbers of UFOs are seen entering and leaving the water.
COLOMBIA THREE UFOs OVER CAPITAL
BOGOTÁ -- On April 23, 2001, at 4:15 PM, three UFOs were flying over Bogotá where more than 3,000 people in the city's business district witnessed them. The objects were in the vicinity of Cerro El Cable Hill where they remained motionless for four minutes. This case was covered in detail last week. We wish to thanks to Scott Corrales the Director of the Institute of Hispanic
Ufology for the Spanish "Translation (C) 2001. IHU.William Chavez" IHU, and
Louise Lowry.
THE UFO - JESUS CONNECTION
David E. Twichell writes, "The ancient astronaut and Biblical UFO
hypotheses are not new. However, no one seems to want to take the
matter to the next logical step. If Ezekiel's, "wheel within a
wheel," and Moses', "pillar of fire and cloud," were forerunners of
today's UFOs, then the Star of Bethlehem and the brilliant cloud to
which Jesus ascended must be treated in the same vein. When Biblical
descriptions of anomalous aerial phenomena are overlaid on that of
modern-day UFO reports, the picture seems to meld as one. Once the
evidence has been presented, the reader is led to a conclusion that is
at best convincing and at least thought provoking. Are you willing to

NEW NASA SHUTTLE VIDEO OF UFOs IN SPACE
Jeff Challender has prepared a new tape of various UFOs that were caught on
recent Shuttle video footage. Jeff has over an hour-long tape of UFOs shot
in space. Jeff spends hundreds of hours watching the shuttle broadcasts from
space and is now an expert on NASA missions and even those onboard the
shuttle are unlikely to see what Jeff does. Using Jeff's directions you will
be able to learn the difference between space junk, ice crystals and real
UFOs. One segment has 24 UFOs watching the shuttle from space. I feel
confident we could go into a court of law and convince any jury, UFOs are
moving around our Earth. Send $25 to: Jeff Challender 2768 Mendel Way -
