JOIN US We are a group of dedicated investigators and researchers looking for the truth. We share varied backgrounds and many years in the fields of Ufology, Abduction, Crypto zoology and the Paranormal. The sharing of research, resources and knowledge has greatly enhanced our investigative capabilities. We offer a website that reaches all corners of the United States and many Foreign Countries. The use of our databases and photo lab not to mention a vast array of collective knowledge from what we consider some of the best in the field. There is a monthly newsletter to get your information out and a direct connection for you to receive reports. If you have an interest in joining us contact [email protected] 6 7 Next Meeting: None scheduled for April. Time: Location: Contact: [email protected] 7 8 The Florida Team meeting went very well. A "Round Table" discussion was held on two books, one of which was Kathleen Marden/Stanton Friedman’s book "Captured". Kathleen was in attendance to answer any questions and add to the lively conversation. Also, the question was asked, "What questions do you have for abductees that haven't been asked, and you would like to know if the answer would be common among all abductees". I am asking that of anyone out there also. Please send your questions to denisemstoner.com to be compiled with future research. Kathleen Marden and I would appreciate your help very much. Do not send your questions to Kathleen, as she will have to forward it to me to put into format. 8 9 MIG was founded in 2000 to provide a reporting venue for witnesses of unusual events. Many unusual events occur in Missouri each year, which are not reported and subsequently are not investigated. A goal of MIG is to have representatives in each of the 115 Missouri counties. This would create a reporting network of spotters who will be aware of what is happening in their areas and report current activity to the group. Director Barbara Becker. If you are interested in participating in this effort, please email [email protected] I represent MIG, the Missouri Investigators Group based in Columbia, Mo. http://ufomig.yolasite.com. We investigate UFO, Animal Mutilation, Bigfoot, Crop Circle and Abduction reports in Missouri and surrounding states. If anyone in Oregon County has experienced anything unusual, please contact me by email at [email protected] or go to our website and make a report. http://ufomig.yolasite.com/online-report-form.php all information will be kept confidential. Thank you, Barbara Becker 9 10 Did You Photograph or Video Something Strange? Did you photograph a UFO? Do you have a video of a strange object? Send them to me by e-mail: [email protected] 10 11 Alien Abduction The terms or abduction phenomenon describes "memories of being taken against one’s will by apparently nonhuman entities, and subjected to complex physical and psychological procedures." People claiming to have been abducted are usually called "abductees" or "experiencers." Typical claims involve being subjected to a forced medical examination that emphasizes their reproductive system. Abductees sometimes claim to have been warned against environmental abuse and the dangers of nuclear weapons. Consequently, while many of these purported encounters are described as terrifying, some have been viewed as pleasurable or transformative. To report an abduction experience contact: [email protected] 11 12 Ann Castle is an active, certified UFO Investigator and has studied UFOs and related phenomena for over 20 years. She is also a talented clairvoyant, with a growing international client base. She specializes in aura reading and remote viewing, and teams with law enforcement in criminal investigations to help find missing persons and suspects. It was inevitable that her interests in UFOs and missing persons would culminate in her novel, Captured Souls. www.aurareadings.com. 12 13 WILLIAM HOOD Director UFORCOP Oklahoma UFO Research The preponderance of evidence overwhelmingly proves that extraterrestrial contact has been made with the 50+ years of sightings, photos, radar tracking tapes, intimidation of witnesses, the government seizing of UFO PHOTOS AND FILMS FROM PRIVATE CITIZENS, witness deathbed confessions and unexplained animal and human mutilations. All the EBEs (ExtraTerrestrial Biological Entities) are not friendly, hence the cover-up to avoid panic that would result from official disclosure. Plausible deniability must be maintained, so the need for debunking, obfuscation, counter intelligence, disinformation, vilification, marginalization and propaganda and in some cases even assassination. (Dr. John Mack "AUTO ACCIDENT", Dorothy Kilgallen "SUICIDE", Defense Secretary James Forrestal "SUICIDE", Dr. James McDonald "SUICIDE", Paul Bennewitz "MARGINALIZED", etc.). As astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell stated, a lot of disinformation is mixed with just a little truth so hopefully the obvious FALSEHOODS will discredit the entire incident being covered up. Dr. Mitchell further stated he did not think people were still being killed to keep the UFO and EBE revelation secret. These methods are becoming obsolete. With the current state of U.S. Government electronic surveillance, an educated and 13 14 informed person can see that the U.S. Government knows UFOs and EBEs are real. The worldwide surveillance satellites capable of taking a picture of a postage stamp on the surface of the Earth from 25,000 miles up in Outer Space are more than equal to the task of tracking UFOs. Ever hear of Fast Walkers? After over 50 years of worldwide intelligence agency surveillance and surveillance electronics technological progress, world governments know the truth. The way to force disclosure is like everything else nowadays, it all depends on politics, and so a political approach to force disclosure is the answer. "ENTER EXOPOLITICS". OLD TIME DEBUNKERS CAN EXIT STAGE LEFT! 14 15 Devlin Rugne a long-time and respected UFO researcher directs our newest affiliate in Northern California. If you have seen something strange in the air or on the ground please report it to the Northern California Studies Group. [email protected] 15 16 NEWS FROM THE INSTITUTE OF FRONTIER SCIENCE The Institute Of Frontier Science gives a great opportunity for those who are writing or making reports in the field of Ufology, as well as seasoned researchers. Its founder and leader is Steven S. Bass, who in addition to being the Founder and Director of the Institute is also well known and respected by everyone involved in the Ufology community. "The Institute of Frontier Science is an elite fellowship of highly experienced and knowledgeable specialists in the scientific field of Ufology." The Institute of Frontier Science offers people the chance to embark on the truths that lie within the UFO genre. IFS will also educate the uneducated on a subject that has been kept behind closed doors for much too long. The institute will take time to build, but already has the “Big Guns” in place. IFS is for the truth and nothing but. People are encouraged to join this great undertaking, for what I am sure will be a rewarding and educational venture into the science of Ufology. 16 17 17 18 IMPACTS TO HEALTH AS A RESULT Of HIGH EMF The US EPA safety guidelines state that EMF exposure should be limited to less than 1mG (milligauss). A gauss is a unit of measure of a magnetic field. Short-term and moderate impacts due to moderate to heavy levels of EMF include the following: Nausea Headaches Fatigue Skin rashes, itching, burning or tingling sensation Forgetfulness, confusion or poor concentration Paranoia Hallucinations Feelings of tightening of the chest Panic attacks or anxiety Insomnia Seizures Ringing in the ears Feeling vibrations Eye pain Shortness of breath Long-term exposure to moderate to high levels of EMF’s is thought to cause leukemia, birth defects or miscarriage, brain tumors and other forms of cancer. When conducting your EMF sweeps during an investigation look for and test the areas around beds, chairs and places where the witness spends allot of time and where the occurrence took place. A safe distance from an EMF source is considered to be 6 feet. In one case a man complaining of dreams of spirits and other paranormal occurrences in his bedroom was frantic. His bed pillow was inches from an electrical outlet. After moving his bed to the other side of the room where there were no outlets the dreams of spirits and paranormal activity stopped. High EMF readings are not the only cause of strange occurrences but are one more thing to consider during an investigation. 18 19 PENNSYLVANIA LEGENDS 19 20 THE GOBLIN OF EASTON There was a monk at the mission in Easton who loved money and power more than he loved God. He would hear the confession of the good folk who attended the mission, and then would blackmail them into giving him gold and silver to keep their darkest confessions. He turned many a sinner towards the gates of hell rather than the gates of heaven, encouraging their crimes in secret while he reviled them in public. It was after he beat an old woman to death that the monk was imprisoned and sentenced to hang for his crimes. But just after he was cut down from the noose and pronounced dead, his corpse began to transform before the horrified eyes of the people. The face twisted and tusks sprang from either side of his nose. His head of white hair grew long and greasy, and two pointy canines emerged from his mouth. The beast-monk opened eyes that glowed yellow even in the light of day; his feet now had claws rather than toes. The town people screamed and fled, and no prayers of his brothers-in-faith could banish the beast. He disappeared deep into the forest, only to return at night and prey upon the monks of the mission who had been responsible for its death. After five of the brothers had fallen to the beast, the rest of the monks abandoned the mission and moved to another part of the country. Since that time, the mission has slowly fallen into ruin. Easton, PA Northampton County 20 21 Best Clear–Dark Locations For A Skywatch In Pennsylvania www.sightingsreport.com View Up To Date Sightings Reports in Pennsylvania, Florida, Missouri, Oklahoma Northeast Florida Georgia and Northern California. 21 22 22 23 HOW TO HOLD A SKYWATCH This article will help you to plan for such a night with safety and preparation. A sky watch can be held at any location ranging from your back yard to a campsite on a dark mountain. Just make sure that you don’t trespass and use common sense when camping out at night. Don’t go anywhere that might include dangers such as muggers or wildlife. When picking a spot, choose a location with as little artificial light as possible. Streetlights, neighbors’ kitchen lights or city lights will actually obscure the night sky. This is called light pollution. Next, you must dress for the occasion. Unless it’s a balmy evening, dress warmly and put on a good pair of shoes. You won’t enjoy this if you get discomfort from the cold. Pack munchies. This is often the best part of the entire expedition. Pack your favorite things, such as a flask of tea or hot chocolate, sandwiches, sweets but always include something hot and nourishing. You will also need a flashlight, a notebook, a wristwatch or some other way to tell the time (a cell phone is ideal), a thermometer, a camera, binoculars, a couple of pencils or pens and a logbook. The logbook is a book in which you record everything that you see and experience during a sky watch. Record everything. For example, when you see a car on a far-off mountain pass, record the time and the fact that there was a car on the mountain pass. Not only does it keep you alert but it also helps you to identify IFO’s (Identified Flying Objects), such as cars on roads higher than your camp, satellites, planes, comets, fireworks, searchlights and more. Such an ability to objectively identify what you see will make you a valuable UFO investigator and researcher. Design your own logbook the way you like it, but always include the date, the times you notice things and a description of all that you see. It is very exciting to see something unusual that might possibly be a UFO. In time you must learn to mentally record every aspect that you see. How long did the sighting last? How bright was the object, how large, what shape, color and movement did it show? Was there any noise, any strange visual effects such as distortion or rippling? 23 24 How far above the ground, at what angle, in the sky, and so forth. Take pictures, record a video. Don’t forget the conditions of the night. Studies have shown that UFO sightings occur more when there are certain natural elements present. Even when nothing happens, record the weather every half an hour. Write into your log book the time, temperature, wind strength (just note no wind, mild, strong wind, not actual knots), cloud cover (no clouds, some clouds, full cloud cover), mist, rain, moon phase, and so on. This could add to the value of a sighting you may have later in the evening. If you are planning to become a late-night watcher, then your chances of spotting something increases. For some reason, studies have determined that more UFO’s are sighted between 12 Midnight and 3AM than at any other time. Also, the later it gets, the more your neighbors are inclined to switch off their houselights. A sky watch can get boring, so take a friend along, or a radio that won’t completely distract you from watching the sky. Also, invest in a comfortable chair one can fold up and transport. Your sky watch chair should be so designed to support your neck as you look up at the cosmos for hours on end. Finally, say you do see something that behaves strange in the sky, and you feel it is a genuine case of a UFO sighting. The most daunting part can be to report it. Choose very carefully the person or group you tell your story to, because unfortunately people still ridicule the phenomena. Stay away from newspapers or radio stations. Such institutions may provide immediate exposure of your sighting but they won’t investigate the data involved and your case might not be taken seriously. Rather search the Internet for known groups in your area and report it via their channels. Always keep a copy of your logbook sighting for your own records and don’t hand over your film negatives or SD cards to any person. Much photographic evidence has been hampered because the negatives or cards were somehow misplaced. A copy of the picture is ok to hand over to an investigator along with a copy of your notes but never turn over any original SD cards, negatives or original notes. Most states publish a dark sky map for astronomers. If not contact a local Astronomy Club for information on a good location. 24 25 Good Hunting and Keep Your Eyes To The Sky. IN THE NEWS On August 15, 1977 Dr. Jerry R. Ehman detected a strong narrowband radio signal while working on a SETI project at the Big Ear radio telescope of The Ohio State University. Amazed at how closely it matched the expected signature of an interstellar signal, he circled it on the computer printout and wrote the comment “Wow!” next to it. Although it lasted for a full 72 seconds, it has not been detected again. 25 26 An unexplained atmospheric phenomenon typically associated with thunderstorms that consist of spherically shaped, floating balls of electricity. Due to its rare and fleeting nature, it has proven almost impossible to study. The best-documented case occurred in 1984 when ball lightning measuring about four inches in diameter entered a Russian passenger aircraft and “flew above the heads of the stunned passengers before leaving the plane almost noiselessly.” TOP TEN UNEXPLAINED PHENOMENA (WHAT SCIENCE CAN’T EXPLAIN) The Taos NM Hum Bigfoot Intuition Mysterious Disappearances Ghosts Déjà Vu Demonic Possession Near Death Experiences and Life after Death Psychic powers and ESP UFO’s 26 27 FBI DOCUMENT ON NEW MEXICO SAUCERS 27 28 ANALYSIS OF DR.KETCHUMS BIGFOOT DNA TESTING David Winter is a PhD in evolutionary biology in New Zealand. He says the first thing you do is “BLAST” the sequences. You may have heard Melba Ketchum mention, “blasting” in some of her interviews. That means to take sequences and compare them to existing mapped sequences in a huge genetic database. GenBank® is where all DNA sequences should go to be shared with the scientific community. As was noted by Ketchum in the paper says that the results didn’t go there because of “lack of taxon” which made little sense to the scientists reviewing her paper. The sequence did not match a hominid sequence but part of it did match very well with human chromosome 11. 60% didn’t match with anything on Earth and the rest of it matched with various animals such as panda, dog and bear, etc. These bits that matched may be a sign of a mixed sample. So, as Winter notes, he’s not sure if the researchers are inept or deliberate in their interpretation but some of the DNA is perfectly matched to humans and the rest is “crap”. Some of the sequences, he said, were far too short to be the result of hybridization, making Ketchums claim of hybridization from 15,000 years ago not plausible. Others have also questioned the hybridization idea. Contamination remains the obvious question. It’s not that the collector contaminated the samples necessarily but that the sample itself was a mix. So, no matter how careful they were in the lab to prevent investigator 28 29 contamination (as Ketchum insists), the damage was already done if it was junk to begin with. Conclusion? Bad. I still suspect that other analyses will come forward to perhaps explain what might have happened with these samples. But, bottom line is, it is NOT being accepted as evidence of Sasquatch. “Poor quality evidence does not add up to strong evidence”.
