Editor's Note: The Romanek's were offered the opportunity to present a rebuttal to Mr. Carrion's previous OPED found here, and the same proffer is attached in this instance-FW
Stan Romanek recently took his story to the air waves on the Angela Joiner report to explain why the word fallow always seem to be showing up in documents related to his alleged claims of alien abduction and government conspiracy. Blogger Chuck Zukowski recently posted an article supporting Stan's claims that the word "fallow" was a commonly misspelled word and was not evidence of any impropriety in his case. Well, I guess every word in the English language is mangled and misspelled to one extent or the other, but that is not what makes this misspelled word a GIANT, IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE, red flag in the Romanek case. Let me spell out the problem in plain English.
* The word fallow shows up in Stan's original UFO reports to the National UFO Reporting Center.
* The word fallow shows up in the UFO report to the National UFO Reporting Center by a 3rd party witness that allegedly had no relationship to Stan Romanek but corroborates one of his sightings.
* The word fallow shows up in an alleged Air Force document that Stan mysteriously received in his mailbox, subject "Project Romanek".
* The word fallow shows up on the Jeff Rense website in an online posting by alleged physicist John Mannon who supports Stan's story.
* The word fallow shows up on the Above TopSecret.com website in a posting by another alleged physicist (TommyBoy) who supports Stan's claims.
The fact that the word fallow got mispelled in any single document or online posting is not the issue but that the mispelled word shows up in so many third party documents supporting Stan's claims -third parties that allegedly have no relationship or connection with Stan. What are the odds that all of these third parties mispelled this same word (in documents supportive of Stan), is due to chance? The Romanek's don't want you to mull this over using critical thinking but would rather try to refocus your attention on the word fallow being a commonly mispelled word. I don't buy their argument and I continue to consider it a red flag until one or more of these third parties come forward and prove themselves to be real people. Will the real John Mannon please step up? Not by posting again to the anonymous Internet but showing some ID in person so you can be verified to be a real physicist.
Now I have said it before and I will say it again, if the Romaneks want to prove their claims, then they should release ALL of their alleged video and photo evidence for the world and independent researchers to examine and analyze. Instead they have tried to paint that I am on some sort of personal vendetta to discredit their claims. Taking their claims to the airwaves and the blogs with "I don't know how that word got there" and "it is really no big deal" counter arguments is not going to settle this matter. Neither is trying to portray this as MUFON vs Romanek or Carrion vs Romanek.
So critical thinkers, put on your thinking caps and weigh the evidence, and if you are a statistician, take it a step further and calculate the odds. Are you fallowing me here?

I met Pamela in 1991. She had several encounters with alien life forms at her house near Rosamond, California at the base of the Tehachapi Mountains. She remembers having an encounter in June 1990 with a small cardboard-colored entity that resembled a Grey. This entity was wearing a form-fitting one-piece black suit. She was standing on the stairs of the summer deck arguing with this entity into the early hours of the morning. It was neither her first nor last encounter. I have detailed some of her experiences in Chapter 7.
I have had one or two encounters of my own. The most distinctive took place on May 8, 1981 in Arizona. I remember three little white-skinned beings appearing at the foot of my bed. I was in a hypnogogic state. When they departed suddenly, a pungent odor of ozone permeated the air of the bedroom.
I have been investigating abductions since 1976 and am familiar with many types of experiences with various entities. However, never did I dream that Pamela and I would experience missing time together.
I am well aware that abduction reports have generated a backlash from the public sector from authorities such as Carl Sagan and Dr. Robert Baker. They would like dismissing these encounters as hypnopompic hallucinations or some other reasonable psychological category in order to avoid dealing with the possibility of physical events that carry more profound implications. I am aware of the fact that witness exposure to UFO material tends to "contaminate" the individual's recounting of events and lessens the value of witness testimony. In that case, one may consider that my testimony is hyper contaminated by a background of 40 years researching this subject. On the other hand one might hold the consideration that I have had 40 years to observe, reflect, and evaluate UFO experiences. Bearing this all in mind, here is our story.
BRIGHT LIGHTS OVER THE DESERT
Pamela and I headed for Rachel, Nevada on Tuesday, March 16, 1993. After stopping in Las Vegas to pick up Ektar 1000 high-speed film for my camera from the Camera Center on Eastern, we headed north on highway 93, also known as the Great Basin Highway. I estimated our arrival at the Little Ale' Inn at around 6 p.m. We actually arrived at around 5:45 p.m.
While traveling on highway 93 we decided to snap pictures of some of the scenery to use up the slow speed film in my Chinon Zoom Cam. Some of the higher mountains around the Parahnagat Valley were capped with white blankets of snow. Yellow flowers were Spring blooming along the roadside. We were in a good mood.
We stopped at Mail Box Road near mile marker 29 on highway 375 to snap additional pictures. The surrounding mountains had already hidden the sun for the day. A little further up the road just before mile marker 26 I noticed a large dirt pull-out. I was determined to return to this pullout later in the evening. We arrived at the Little Ale'Inn and greeted Pat and Joe Travis. Pat recognized me instantly, and both of them were happy to see us since our last visit. Copies of my book, Cosmic Top Secret, were stacked on the shelf and offered for sale. I picked up a new book, Area 51 Viewing Guide, written by Glenn Campbell, an itinerant geographer who had settled in Rachel to study the strange stories of this region and map out the area. Later, we were introduced to Glenn, an affable young man. We were eager to swap information, but food was also a priority. We ordered dinner and talked. I also booked a room in a trailer for the night so we could take an early morning trip out to the viewing site and would not have to drive far to get some additional rest.
We placed our suitcases in the trailer and left Rachel sometime after 7:45 that evening and headed east on 375. I decided to travel no faster than 50 mph as this was open range and cows still wandered onto the road in the early evening. When we got to mile marker 17 up on Coyote summit at about 8:13, we spotted a security vehicle, a large green Bronco, parked off the other side of the road facing Rachel. Its amber front lights were on. We continued slowly until we reached mile marker 26. Passing this, I started to look for the dirt pull-out on the right and when I spotted it, pulled off the highway about fifteen to twenty feet with my truck facing the sky glow of Las Vegas due south.
I switched off the lights of my pickup truck and as soon as my eyes adjusted to the darkness that enveloped the Tikaboo Valley, I got out to look at the stars. Though it was partly cloudy, I could clearly make out the Big Dipper, Orion, Sirius, the Pleiades, and Arcturus. I could also see the craggy outlines of the Jumbled Hills and the Groom Mountains against the faint sky glow. It wasn't as cold as I expected and I only wore a pull-over sweater. As soon as I saw the lights of a vehicle appear coming down Coyote Summit, I got back in the truck. The first object I spotted in the sky was an aircraft with its positional lights and strobe blinking as it moved away from Groom Lake toward the southeast. Nothing exciting there. Pamela commented that the vehicle from the west was getting closer and she wanted to see if it was the security vehicle we had seen earlier at mile marker 17. We had first spotted its lights coming down from the summit at about 8:21.
When the vehicle passed us at 8:30, we were certain it was the same one we had seen on the summit. It was now heading east on 375. I was looking at my watch at 8:31 and asked Pamela how long she wanted to stay and sky watch since we wanted to return in the early morning hours to see "Old Faithful." Glenn had told us that he had thought that "Old Faithful" was just a 737 from Las Vegas McCarron airport that ferried in workers to Groom at the same time each morning, but we wanted to come out and see for ourselves if that was the case or whether it was something else.
We talked for about five minutes when we spotted a light about ten or fifteen degrees to the left of our heading. We both had 10X50 Bushnell binoculars. I looked at the light through my binoculars and saw a small round white light above a small round amber light. At this time, I speculated that we might be looking at a security vehicle that was anywhere from 3 to 6 miles from our position, but I could not think of a road that was located where this light was emanating. We talked for additional minutes. Pamela was relating this story about a healer who had come from Sedona, Arizona to find a man named "Jim" in Rachel. Jim was Pat Travis' grandson and he had been in an accident. We talked for another five or six minutes when we spotted another ground light to our right. I looked at it through binoculars and it seemed to be on or near the Groom Road and casting a beam on the ground. We decided that I should keep an eye on the light on the right while Pamela kept an eye on the original light which now appeared to be below our line of sight and was casting a fan-shaped glow into the air. We talked another three to five minutes when Pamela said, "Something is happening. Look back at the first light."
Events started happening fast. The first light appeared to be an object the size of a bus with square light panels lifting off from the ground! The panels appeared to glow amber and blue-white. The object was tilting to the right. Then the lights rapidly resolved into two glowing orbs or discs of brilliant blue-white light that steadily increased in brilliance. These lights became so bright they hurt my eyes and were still getting more brilliant with time. I had to put down my binoculars, but Pamela kept her binoculars trained on these baby suns as they started to move toward us. My heart started to palpitate and my adrenalin was rushing as this lighted object appeared to be on a collision course for my truck. These bright orbs were clearly flying over the desert. The lights did not bounce over the mounds of sand and sagebrush. I reached for my camera behind the seat and felt it snag so I diverted my eyes to free it. Pamela said that at this point the orbs transformed again into a ring of multi-colored lights that moved in a "digital" counter-clockwise revolution around what now appeared to be a disc. When I looked back and raised my camera to snap a picture of this oncoming object, it had again transformed into two or three bright orbs and was closing distance rapidly.
I remember saying that they were coming to get us and Pamela asking why I was so scared. I had to snap a picture fast so I snapped it before exiting the truck. The automatic flash went off with light bouncing against the windows, but I felt that the object's brightness could not fail to register on my Kodak Ektar 1000 film.
Then confusion reigned. As I finished snapping the picture and exiting the truck at the same time as Pamela, I had not removed my eyes from the orbs which now appeared east of us as automobile headlights traveling west on 375. That was clearly impossible! I had not seen these lights move from a south bearing to an east bearing and neither had Pamela. This car made a gentle whooshing sound as it passed by us, but made no motor sounds or tire sounds on the pavement. We watched its tail lights change in intensity as it whisked away toward Coyote Summit. This was no ordinary car. Pamela saw gold-speckled paint and white-walls on an older long American car. I glanced at my watch. It was 9:15. No way! It should have only been about 8:50 at the latest. What happened?
I was angry. I told Pamela that the vehicle we saw could not possibly be driving across the desert to our south, then appear abruptly as if coming from the east. And a ring of lights does not transform itself into a car in normal reality. We discussed this all the way back to the Little Ale'Inn. We went into the bar for a drink, talked with Pat for a few moments, then went to our trailer.
I tried to get to sleep around 11:30 that night. At 1:46 the next morning I awoke with a yelp. I had dreamed that a dark human-like form was examining me and had a hold of my left ankle. Pamela had already awakened asking how long we would be gone. She sometimes talks in her sleep, but this time it also had awakened her. I wanted to go back to the site even though it was a little too early for "Old Faithful." We eventually went back to mile marker 26 arriving by 3:30 the morning of March 17th (St. Patrick's Day). We slept for awhile, then my watch alarm awoke me at 4:30 to start looking at the southern sky for "Old Faithful." At precisely 4:50, we spotted it. It was a glowing amber-gold light without strobes, rotating beacons or other conventional aircraft lighting. It was in view for about five minutes and seemed to descend on Groom Lake. It did not appear to be a 737 or other conventional aircraft, but it did not execute any extraordinary aerodynamic maneuvers.
REGRESSION SESSIONS
After more rest back at the trailer, we left Rachel around 12:30 in the afternoon and returned to Las Vegas to find a room. We checked in at a Super 8 Motel on Koval Lane and after dinner, I called John Lear. He seemed insistent that we come up to see him for awhile so we did. When we got there, we told him our story. He asked if he could regress me under hypnosis as he thought I looked a little stressed-out from the previous night's adventure.
John was only attempting to hypnotize me for thirty-five minutes to help relax me and decided not to tape-record the session. The session lasted one hour and thirty-five minutes and Pamela ended up taking twenty-four pages of notes. I recalled the period of disorientation we had in the incident and as it unfolded I saw the craft stop above us, brightly illuminating the ground, the truck, and us in its glare. Then I seemed to have ascended through the bottom of this craft and was met by a being walking out of the bright interior light. Actually, he had just stepped through a brilliantly-lighted interior wall of the craft.
This being was gray in color and about six feet tall. His eyes had what appeared to be black plastic shields slanting in insect fashion around his egg-shaped head. He had on a two-tone gray suit, lighter gray V in the front, and a black belt with a black tube on his right side. There was a triangular symbol (actually giving the impression of a tetrahedron) enclosing a helical coil on the left breast of the suit. His long arms ended in four long fingers. His face was a mask of non-expression, yet he communicated with me in blunt, concise phrases. I was concerned about Pamela, but he showed me her frozen form on the ground. Off to her left side was a small gray creature as if posted on station. I was confused. She was the abductee so why was he taking me inside this craft? He indicated it was my turn and I needed an adjustment and I would learn some things. He took one arm and escorted me gently inside a dome-like room that was evenly and brightly illuminated in all directions. In the center of this room was a tilting metal table which he placed me against. It tilted back about thirty degrees from the vertical. In front of me, projecting out from the curving wall, were what appeared to be a row of small computer screens. I knew that this table was a sophisticated sensor and was registering my thoughts, emotions, and physiology which were displayed on these screens. This being identified himself as Quaylar. Quaylar had replaced my leg at the ankle back onto the tilt table's surface at one point. This process lasted about five minutes. The telepathic or mind-sharing process allowed me access to a great deal of information that wasn't simply communicated. Quaylar returned me to the exit and I jump-floated to the ground about fifteen or twenty feet below. When I re-synched, I saw the phantom car lights. Was this a signal to my sub-conscious that something odd intervened in the missing-time period?
Another idea that impressed me strongly under hypnosis was that the missing-time or missing-memory state was caused by a phase shift in time. The time frequency in the field of this object was not in synch with our normal earth time frequency, giving us a conscious gap in memory.
I did not wait to follow scientific procedures and have Pamela and I hypnotized separately on different occasions though we did do this later. We tried to document all that we could. I took a daytime photo of the pull-out from the same truck angle as the night shot of the object to show the view from our angle of bearing and the desert scrub the object was traveling over.
When I hypnotized Pamela Thursday night, March 18, more details emerged. Pamela remembered being frozen outside of the craft and the little gray standing at her side. She also reports a painful buzzing in her left ear. Up to this point of separation, our description of events agrees completely except for the brief period of time when I went to snatch my camera from behind the seat. She then recalls a narrow, pencil-thin beam of blue-white light coming out of the bottom of the craft and striking her right eye just to the right of the pupil. And, indeed, there is a spot on the right side of the iris at the 9 o'clock position where the beam struck. She also remembers seeing two men observing her from a van on the highway. She actually states that the little Gray walked her away from the direction of the van to the other side of the truck to hide her from view. She also recalls details about the phantom car that we saw after the gap in time.
On Thursday, April 1, Pamela was regressed again by Hypnotherapist Yvonne Smith. This time Pamela remembered being taken aboard the white van she saw on the highway. The van had an antenna on the roof. Inside the van, two men, dressed entirely in black with black baseball caps on their heads, subjected her to intrusive procedures. They administered some drops in her right eye and placed an odd instrument into her left ear canal. She remembered seeing electronic instruments inside the van as well as automatic rifles. She also recalls that these men admonished her not to speak about her experiences. She did not see the little Gray during this period, nor does she remember exactly how she was placed back in position by our truck.
We had additional regression sessions with Leslie Freeman, a psychologist and hypnotherapist who works with our local MUFON group in L.A. Details of what came out of these sessions are too numerous to recount here.
I have had others report missing-time experiences in the Tikaboo Valley. My impression is that this has nothing to do with test flying discs from Area S-4. Something alien resides in this section of Nevada and has found an interest in visitors who come to watch the skies around Area 51.

THIS IS NOT JUST A UFO SIGHTING, THIS IS A MASS OF UFOS IN THE SKY OVER CHANDLER ARIZONA ON NOVEMBER 7, 2013, CAPTURED ON FILM, WITH MORE THAN ONE WITNESS, SOME FORMING TRIANGLES AND SOME JUST OUT THERE WITH THE VIDEO CREATER COUNTING OVER 20 AND THEN MORE CAME, SO BY THE END THERE WERE ANYWHERE FROM 30-40 OF THEM! ACCORDING TO THE DETAILS AND WHAT IS SAID ON THE VIDEO AS THIS UNBELIEVABLE SIGHTING WAS HAPPENING, A MILITARY HELICOPTER ALSO SHOWED UP ON THE SCENE.
THEY JUST KEPT COMING..... IF THIS MANY UNIDENTIFIED, ORB-LIKE OBJECTS ARE COMING AND GOING AT WILL, THEN IT COULD BE SAID WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN INVADED, WHICH BEGS THE QUESTION OF WHY THIS ISN'T BEING SHOWN ON EVERY SINGLE NEWS STATION THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY?
THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THESE MYSTERIOUS ORBS HAVE BEEN SEEN AND CAPTURED ON FILM IN ARIZONA, YET NO EXPLANATION IS GIVEN TO THE RESIDENTS OF THE STATE.
[UPDATE] THIS PHENOMENON IS BEING SEEN ACROSS AMERICA NOW AS REPORTED IN A NEW ARTICLE AT BEFORE IT'S NEWS
A review of what some say is evidence of UFO encounters through mankind's history -- from prehistoric cave paintings, to Medieval frescoes, to Renaissance art that depict strange objects in the technically a UFO refers to any unidentified flying object, in modern popular culture the term UFO has generally become synonymous with alien spacecraft;however, the term ETV (ExtraTerrestrial Vehicle) is sometimes used to separate this explanation of UFOs from totally earthbound argue that because these objects appear to be technological and not natural phenomena and are alleged to display flight characteristics or have shapes seemingly unknown to conventional technology, the conclusion is that they must not be from Earth. Though UFO sightings have occurred throughout recorded history, modern interest in them dates from World War II (see foo fighter), further fueled in the late 1940s by Kenneth Arnold's report of a close encounter, which led to coining of the term flying saucer, and the Roswell UFO incident. Since then governments have investigated UFO reports, often from a military perspective, and UFO researchers have investigated, written about, and created organizations devoted to the subject. One such investigation, the UK's Project Condign, made public in 2006, attributed unaccountable UFO sightings to a hitherto unknown and scientifically unexplained "plasma field." It also concluded that Russian, former Soviet Republics, and Chinese authorities had made a co-ordinated effort to understand the UFO phenomenon and that military organizations, particularly in Russia, had done "considerably more work (than is evident from open sources)" on military applications stemming from their UFO research. The report also noted that "several aircraft have been destroyed and at least four pilots have been killed 'chasing UFOs'."UFOs are sometimes an element of conspiracy theories in which governments are allegedly intentionally "covering up" the existence of aliens by removing physical evidence of their presence, or even collaborating with extraterrestrial beings. There are many versions of this story; some are exclusive, while others overlap with various other conspiracy the, an opinion poll conducted in 1997 suggested that 80% of Americans believed the government was withholding such information. Various notables have also expressed such views. Some examples are astronauts Gordon Cooper and Edgar Mitchell, Senator Barry Goldwater, Vice Admiral Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter (the first CIA director), Lord Hill-Norton (former British Chief of Defense Staff and NATO head), the 1999 French COMETA study by various French generals and aerospace experts, and Yves Sillard (former director of CNES, new director of French UFO research organization GEIPAN).It has also been suggested by a few paranormal authors that all or most human technology and culture is based on extraterrestrial contact..
ALIEN ENCOUNTER IN PASADENA, TEXAS ON FEBRUARY 18TH 2011 - I WAS ASLEEP THEN WOKE UP IN SPACE.
I was sleeping I don't know if this happen at night are morning. Anyway all of a sudden I awoke. I was in outer space I did not have a body are I did not see a body. But there I was. I done know what was holding me up but felt like I was being held up by something. In my head I was being told not to look to my left. It felt like a being are something was beside me but kept telling me not to look. Anyway straight ahead there was earth I was being shown South America for some reason. Beyond earth there was the moon. I looked up there were a billion stars as far as I could see. I have seen stars in the sky but not like this. I remember a slight breeze blowing my bangs I dont know where the wind was coming from but it was a slight breeze. When I woke up I was back in my bed and remembered all of the above. Everybody I have told has laughed at me. Every thing I saw was in color. I dont think you dream in color. If it was a dream it was so vivid that was a year ago. I remembered it as if it was yesterday. I know I felt happy and in awh of the heavens and the earth and moon. Beautiful is an understatement. I bet there was more to this but what ever enity wipe out some of my memory and only let me remember this. Please dont laugh this is a true story. I will take a polygraph test or be hypnotized. I want to know more myself. Judy

UFOS IN THE 1980S"By Rupert Matthews"
Back in the mid-1980s the world of UFOlogy was becoming dominated by two quite different facets of the phenomenon. Of the two the more mainstream were the abduction events that were beginning to be reported by an increasing number and range of people. The other phenomenon was popular with the media and general public, but less well favoured by serious UFO researchers: crop circles. Of the two, crop circles dominated the media - probably because of the impressive photos that could be printed in newspapers on slow news days to fill a half page at low cost.
Meanwhile, some researchers were beginning to suspect that some incidents that were reported by the witness as being an alien abduction were, in fact, psychological in origin. Researcher Margaret Fry in the UK produced a number of cases in which a witness reported being abducted and undergoing the usual types of experiences, while others reported that the person supposedly being abducted was, in fact, fast asleep or in once case being operated on under anaesthetic in a hospital.
At the time there was a huge amount of controversy over these cases. Some held that they disproved the entire alien abduction hypothesis and proved that those reporting abductions were simply hallucinating. Others sought to debunk the cases in order to prove the witnesses were lying or that the researchers had fabricated evidence.
Back in 1986 it does not seem to have occurred to anyone that those witnesses reporting abductions while quite clearly not being abducted were dreaming or hallucinating, but that this did not of itself disprove that alien abductions really did happen. It is well know that people often hallucinate that they are taking part in historic events, scenes from movies and the like. Perhaps the people in question had read about an abduction, and then hallucinated about it later on.
In hindsight the spat seems to have been a case of "sound and fury, signifying nothing".
Equally pointless in hindsight were the press stories that sought to link the tragic crash of the Space Shuttle Challenger to a sighting of a UFO many miles away at the time of the crash. The two were obviously unrelated, and the link seems to have been invented by a journalist looking to boost sales of his newspaper. Sadly it served merely to undermine the credibility of UFO sightings in the minds of some members of the public.
The next year saw the damage to credibility repaired somewhat. The major US soap opera "The Colbys" featured a story line in which the character Fallon reported being the victim of an alien abduction. The story line had a few features that dramatised the events for a TV audience, but generally followed the sort of events that real witnesses had reported and did much to bring the idea of alien abductions to a wider audience in a sympathetic way.
That same year Whitley Strieber published his book "Communion "to rave reviews. The book retold what Strieber said were a prolonged series of encounters with a humanoid life form that physically resembled a "grey" alien. The book sold in vast numbers and was an international best seller.
"The Colbys" TV series and Whitley book launched the abduction phenomenon into the mass media. Suddenly the television, magazine and newspaper world could not get enough abduction stories. Many researchers took to hypnotic regression of witnesses in an effort to get more details and more coherent versions of events. Sadly some researchers had little or no training in hypnotic treatments and made some key errors of technique that would later discredit their findings. Nevertheless UFOlogy in the later 1980s became dominated by abduction stories obtained largely by hypnotic regression. It seemed that the answer to the entire UFO riddle might finally be within grasp of researchers.
The search for new, better and more dramatic abduction cases became increasingly frantic through 1988 and 1989. Publication followed publication as new reports cascaded out and researchers sought to find a pattern to the abductions and the apparently medical examinations and experiments conducted during them.
Thus far, the researchers had been concentrating on the UFOs and their occupants. But in 1989 a man named Bob Lazar came forward to claim that he had spent some time working at the highly secretive American military research base known as "Area 51". He claimed that the US military were in touch with aliens - which matched the general description of "greys" - and were in the process of reverse engineering alien technology. The claims reignited ideas of a conspiracy between the aliens and certain human organisations (usually the US government in some form) which had lain dormant for more than a decade.
The new wave of conspiracy speculation would soon combine with studies of alien abductions to produce new ideas and theories that would dominate research in the 1990s.

In a few hours I will be meeting up with Dxxx and her daughter Sxxxxxx to see the exact spot where they saw their UFO just two weeks ago. Will there be scorch marks? Deep depressions in the ground from where the UFO's landing gear settled into the dirt? Mutilated alien corpses? Better yet, will the UFO make a return visit?More likely, we will tromp around in the wet grass for a while, they will point to places in the sky where they saw the object, they will struggle to find the right words to describe its appearance and motion, they will each draw a picture of the object for me and the drawings will be identical, and I'll come home, file my report, get my State Director's feedback, and classify it as an "unknown."What I'm really hoping for is to get a better idea of the fear Sxxxxxx was feeling when she pleaded and begged her mom to drive away fast when it looked like the UFO was coming after them. In the video she submitted, the poor kid was scared shitless and wanted to get away just as the mom decided she wanted to stay put and get a closer look. It makes for some real drama, which you can hear at about the halfway mark in the video. Both of their reactions were very human and understandable, but it's really fascinating to hear the tension between the voice saying, It's coming closer! Let's stick around and get a better look." and the voice saying, "Holy shit, it's coming after us! Let's get the hell out of here! Then the first voice laughs and says, "Oh, stop! Look at it now!" and then the second voice loses it completely and begs, Mom, PLEASE! Let's GO!"Fascinating stuff.Unfortunately, when I file that report later today I must also file a few others that disappoint me. I have four other cases that I am going to have to close for "Insufficient data," which is a nice way of saying the jerks never called me back or didn't put complete contact information on their report. One of these people was even cheeky enough to list the town where he or she lives as his or her name. We really need a category for "Insufficient courtesy."These four cases involved:"VERY bright white light, large, no sound, same intentsity (sic) all direction""Looked like fireball, sudden directional change light slowly faded off until we couldnt see it.""Pulsing orbs 3rd night in week, and one triangle ufo on the 2nd night observing orbs""just happened to look just above the tree line and saw a very bright glowing solid ball of light falling straight down until it went past the tree line and could no longer see it."Unfortunately, that's all we will ever know about these occurrences. They are now relegated to the dustbin of UFO history.I would like to contact each of these individuals and thank them for wasting not only my time, but humanity's time. Where would we be today if Galileo never called back? Where would be today if Einstein forgot to put his email address on the theory of relativity? Where would we be today if Stephen Hawking just ran away whenever someone wanted to ask him something? Does this guy ever duck out of his responsibilities to mankind? No way.

An crowd of international UFO researchers came cooperatively in Chicago on Feb. 26 to characteristic evidence on the existence of UFOs. What's several participating in is that it was refined under the timely dedication of LOUIS FARRAKHAN and members of his gathering.
Whichever category expensive Farrakhan is certifiably insane and a first class bigot on top of that, but as far as I'm angst-ridden the meeting held on Saturday was tantamount to the Vatican admitting that UFOs exist, as they wait. Not common focal deep leaders are timely to derive this enigmatic sample to the act, and indubitably not on the internet. If for no other reason, this was a sight give you an idea about.
For grave students of ufology this is a conference that must be watched, absolute at the same time as positive of the corporeal may be brazen to the eyewitness. The fact that better deep leaders are look to derive this of a nature to the take care of of their followers is yet spanking positive sign that the calm that has shrouded this of a nature for decades is expectations to an end.

Living in a busy air corridor (SFO, OAK, etc.) -- and having already seen a UFO (daylight sighting, cigar-shaped craft) from the same location -- I keep my eyes open. This was a night sighting, from the windows of our two-story house. I took notice of this object out my bedroom window as it seemed big, but was moving far too slowly to be a jet aircraft -- and was far too big, easily 3-4 times larger than the typical outline of jet aircraft navigation lights. I called my boys, aged 7 and 9, to view this and we all ran to watch from another window as the object moved slowly behind a tall pine tree (about 100' tall on one corner of the property). The object was heading southeast, then changed direction in a slow curve to due east, lazily moving right past my house less than a half-mile away. It moved right over the main part of town, banked slowly south for approx. 1/8th of a mile, then back on a due east course, heading toward Berkeley across San Francisco Bay. We then lost sight of it through the trees, as it was quite low (no more than 1000 feet). It was then that my wife got home from work and said that she'd seen the object as well from her car, thinking it looked big, and had rather odd lights for an airliner. She also remarked that it made no noise whatsoever, while jets flying past are often quite loud. My boys then said that THAT was the object they'd seen before in the general vicinity.

From 'sociology of belief' territory, via Danijel Sinani in 10(1) Antropologija (2010) - One of the most controversial and therefore, one of the most interesting figures in the UFO movement that appeared in public during the late forties and the fifties of the twentieth century, is certainly George Adamski, an American of Polish descent. Adamski is the prototype of the new type of contactees, and he was among the first who gained enormous popularity with his testimonies about contacts with UFOs, claiming that he was chosen to deliver important alien messages and wisdom to humanity. We don't know much about his life before he became famous as a contactee and as an author of several books and articles on this subject. After he served shortly in the U.S. Cavalry on the Mexican border, Adamski got married and situated on a ranch in California, where, with the help of like-minded people, he later bought a piece of land and opened a cafe and an observatory.
Clearly interested in mysticism and metaphysics from the earliest age, Adamski founded the Royal Order of Tibet in 1936 and began to teach the "knowledge" of the occult nature. However, Adamski quickly shifted his interest to the ideas related to UFOs and he revealed his first contact with UFOs on October 9th 1946. Three years later he published his first book which made his way clear to a significant position in the circles of people interested in the UFO phenomena (Adamski 1949). However, Adamski gained a worldwide fame by publishing his second book in 1953. In the book he presented Orthon to the public - a tall, blond inhabitant of Venus, with whom Adamski allegedly established a telepathic connection a year earlier. It's unclear whether that telepathy involved the notion, espoused by Ervin Laszlo of World Futures, that the brain is - or will shortly become - a 'quantum wave transceiver'.
Sinani reports that - Through Orthon, Adamski was then given hieroglyphic, encrypted messages from the "Space Brothers" who were interested in the future of the Earth and its inhabitants. Now of course he'd be invoking nonsense about the Mayan Calendar. Adamski claimed that he learned, through the contact with the Venusians, whose aircraft he managed to see up close, that they have been secretly present on Earth for some time. He also stated that their mission was a peaceful one and that they were concerned about the human inclination towards war, especially the nuclear arms race, which threatened to disturb the harmony of the Universe (Leslie and Adamski 1953). Can't have too much harmony, with or without quantum mysticism Adamski allegedly possessed a number of photographs that were supposed to support his stories about seeing UFOs, as well as the encounters with extraterrestrial beings. In the vastness of testimonies about the contacts with aliens, Adamski became famous for claiming that the government scientists had evidence of the existence of intelligent life on other planets, that he travelled to Saturn on a space ship he boarded in a U.S. military base, that he held secret meetings with the Pope in the Vatican and the United States president John Kennedy and the people from his administration in connection with the "Space brothers" and, finally, that the Venusians, by using the flying saucers rushed to provide him with transportation even on shorter distances on Earth (O'Leary, 2000). Due to these, often extravagant and even bizarre testimonies, Adamski was suspected of fraudulence and discredited by a number of UFO researchers. He was accused of plagiarizing ideas from the old science-fiction books and movies, doctoring photographs and a few of his close associates eventually admitted that some of Adamski's claims had been invented and redesigned (Melton and Eberhart 1995). You don't say! However, despite the controversies that followed him and the odium of the UFO researchers circles he brought upon himself, Adamski was able to gather a significant number of followers, forming in 1957 a club "International Get Acquainted" which brought together both those interested in UFOs and those who wanted to receive the "knowledge" and "wisdom" that Adamski, allegedly received from the "Space Brothers". That sounds quite contemporary. In the late fifties and early sixties, Adamski made a world tour with his lectures, he initiated a periodical, while his books became some of the most widely read books about UFOs.
Today the "Adamski Foundation" which was established in 1965 still exists and continues the tradition of his teaching and a number of individuals and smaller groups all over the world operate under the influence of the "secret knowledge" which Adamski believed he had been conveying.

The Rendlesham Forest Incident is the name given to a series of reported sightings of unexplained lights and the alleged landing of a craft or multiple crafts of unknown origin in Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, England, in late December 1980, just outside RAF Woodbridge, used at the time by the U.S. Air Force. Dozens of USAF personnel were eyewitnesses to various events over a two or three day period. Some ufologists believe it is perhaps the most famous UFO event to have happened in Britain, ranking amongst the best-known UFO events worldwide. Along with the Berwyn Mountain UFO incident, it has been compared to the Roswell UFO incident in the United States, and is sometimes referred to as "Britain's Roswell".
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) denied that the event posed any threat to national security, and stated that it was therefore never investigated as a security matter. Later evidence indicated that there was a substantial MoD file on the subject, which led to claims of a cover-up; some interpreted this as part of a larger pattern of information suppression concerning the true nature of unidentified flying objects, by both the United States and British governments. One such person to take this view was eyewitness and Deputy Base Commander Colonel Charles Halt. When the file was released in 2001 it turned out to consist mostly of internal correspondence and responses to inquiries from the public. The lack of any in-depth investigation in the publicly released documents is consistent with the MoD's earlier statement that they never took the case seriously. Included in the released files is an explanation given by defence minister Lord Trefgarne as to why the MoD did not investigate further. Skeptics regard the sightings as misinterpretation of a series of nocturnal lights - a fireball, the Orford Ness lighthouse and bright stars.
Rendlesham Forest is owned by the Forestry Commission and consists of about 5.8 square miles of coniferous plantations, interspersed with broadleaved belts, heathland and wetland areas. It is located in the county of Suffolk, about 8 miles east of the town of Ipswich. The incident occurred in the vicinity of two former military bases RAF Bentwaters, which is just to the north of the forest, and RAF Woodbridge which extends into the forest from the west and is bounded by the forest on its northern and eastern edges. At the time, both were being used by the United States Air Force and were under the command of wing commander Colonel Gordon E. Williams. The base commander was Colonel Ted Conrad, and his deputy was Lieutenant Colonel Charles I. Halt. Halt's memo to the Ministry of Defence on the incident, and his personal involvement in the second night of the sightings, has given the case credibility.
The main events of the incident, including the supposed landing or landings, took place in the forest, which starts at the east end of the base runway or about 0.3 miles to the east of the East Gate of RAF Woodbridge, where guards first noticed mysterious lights appearing to descend into the forest. The forest extends east about 1.0 mile beyond East Gate, ending at a farmer's field, where additional events allegedly took place. Orford Ness lighthouse, which skeptics identify as the flashing light seen off to the coast by the airmen, is along the same line of sight but 5 miles further east of the forest edge.
Retired Sgt. John Burroughs (LE) states that the events took place over three successive nights (pm into am); 24th, 25th, 26th, and 27th of December in 1980. One of the key pieces of primary evidence suggests that the first sightings were on the 26th, rather than 25th in a memo. The memo was written almost two weeks after the event and its author later agreed that he had probably made a mistake in his recollection of the dates. This discrepancy in dates has not only confused subsequent researchers but also led to confusion at the time, for example in the MoD's investigation and analysis of contemporaneous radar records.
Around 3 a.m. on the 26th of December, 1980 - strange lights were reported by a security patrol near the East Gate of RAF Woodbridge apparently descending into nearby Rendlesham Forest. Servicemen initially thought it was a downed aircraft but, upon entering the forest to investigate, they saw strange lights moving through the trees, as well as a bright light from an unidentified object. One of the servicemen, Sgt. Jim Penniston, later claimed to have encountered a craft of unknown origin and to have made detailed notes of its features, touched its warm surface, and copied the numerous symbols on its body. The object allegedly flew away after their brief encounter. Penniston also claimed to have seen triangular landing gear on the object, leaving three impressions in the ground that were visible the next day. While undergoing regression hypnosis in 1994, Penniston subsequently claimed that the craft he encountered had come from our future, and was occupied by time travelers, not extraterrestrials. Sgt. Penniston's report made shortly after the incident contains no mention of physically encountering an unknown craft, nor of interacting with it. This report and associated sketches are neither signed nor dated, nor are they representative of AF Form 1169, Statement of Witness.
Shortly after 4 a.m. local police were called to the scene but reported that the only lights they could see were those from the Orford Ness lighthouse, some miles away on the coast. Some reports claim that local farmyard animals had been behaving in a state of fear and panic. After daybreak on the morning of December 26th, servicemen returned to a small clearing near the eastern edge of the forest and found three small impressions in a triangular pattern, as well as burn marks and broken branches on nearby trees. Plaster casts of the imprints were taken and have been shown in television documentaries. At 10.30 a.m. the local police were called out again, this time to see the impressions on the ground, which they thought could have been made by an animal.
The servicemen returned to the site again in the early hours of December 28th with radiation detectors, although the significance of the readings they obtained is disputed. The deputy base commander Lt Col Charles I. Halt investigated this sighting personally and recorded the events on a micro-cassette recorder. The site investigated by Halt was near the eastern edge of the forest. It was during this investigation that a flashing light was seen across the field to the east, almost in line with a farmhouse. The Orford Ness lighthouse is visible further to the east in the same line of sight. Later, star-like lights were seen in the sky to the north and south, the brightest of which seemed to beam down a stream of light from time to time.
There are claims that the incident was videoed by the USAF; but, if so, the resulting tape has not been made public. The release of this video, if it exists, would certainly clear everything up, unless the video shows proof of extraterrestrial visitation. In which case, for a government wanting to keep the truth hidden, then ti would be imperative to keep the video under wraps and its existence in constant wonder.
The first public report of the incident was published in the tabloid newspaper "News Of The World", on October 2nd, 1983, beneath the sensational headline "UFO Lands In Suffolk - And That's Official". The story was based on an account by a former US airman, using the pseudonym, Art Wallace (supposedly to protect himself against retribution from the USAF), although his real name was Larry Warren.
The first piece of primary evidence to be made available to the public was a memorandum written by the deputy base commander, Lt. Col. Charles I. Halt, to the Ministry of Defence (MoD). Known as the "Halt memo", this was made available publicly in the United States under the US Freedom of Information Act in 1983. The memorandum was dated "13 Jan 81" and headed "Unexplained Lights". The two-week delay between the incident and the report might account for errors in dates and times given. The memo was not classified in any way. Dr David Clarke has investigated the background to this memo and the reaction to it at the Ministry of Defence. His interviews with the personnel involved confirmed the cursory nature of the investigation made by the MoD, and failed to find any evidence for any other reports on the incident made by the USAF or UK apart from the Halt memo.
The Scottish researcher James Easton succeeded in obtaining the original witness statements made for Col. Halt by Fred A. Buran, 81st Security Police Squadron, Airman First Class John Burroughs, 81st LE, Airman Edward N. Cabansag, 81st Security Police Squadron, Master-Sergeant J. D. Chandler, 81st Security Police Squadron and Staff-Sergeant Jim Penniston, 81st Security Police Squadron. These documents are now in the public domain and scans of them are available on Ian Ridpath's website. These documents describe the sightings of strange lights. Penniston, for instance, states that directly to the east (of East Gate) about 11/2 miles in a large wooded area, a large yellow glowing light was emitting above the trees. In the center of the lighted area directly in the center ground level, there was a red light blinking on and off 5 to 10 sec intervals. And a blue light that was being for the most part steady. Burroughs, Penniston and Cabansag drove into the forest in search of the source of the lights. They heard strange noises, too. Burroughs reported a noise like a woman was screaming and also that you could hear the farm animals making a lot of noises. Halt heard the same noises two nights later. In a CNN interview in January 2008 he said: "The livestock around the barn seemed to be going crazy". Such noise could also have been made by Muntjac deer in the forest, which are known for their loud, shrill bark when alarmed. Cabansag said: "We figured the lights were coming from past the forest since nothing was visible when we passed through the woody forest. We would see a glowing near the beacon light, but as we got closer we found it to be a lit-up farmhouse. We got to a vantage point where we could determine that what we were chasing was only a beacon light off in the distance." Burroughs' statement also states that "We could see a beacon going around so we went towards it. We followed it for about two miles before we could see it was coming from a light house."
Penniston's statement is the only one that positively identifies a mechanical object as the source of the lights. He states that he was within 160 feet of the object and it was definitely mechanical in nature. Penniston has subsequently claimed that, contrary to his statement at the time, he actually encountered a landed craft in the forest which he circled, touched and made notes of for 45 minutes, although there is no corroborating evidence of this from other witnesses. Penniston has shown on television a notebook in which he claims to have made real-time notes and sketches of the object. The notebook is headed with the date 27 December and the time 12:20 (00:20 GMT), which does not accord with the date and time given by the other witnesses for the incident. Penniston claims that he saw the object at a different landing site from the one investigated by Halt, much closer to RAF Woodbridge. This is inconsistent with his initial assessment that the light lay a mile and a half from East Gate. The witnesses were unnerved by their experience and believed that they had witnessed something, as Buran expresses it, "out of the realm of explanation".
Also, in 1984, a copy of what became known as the "Halt Tape" fell into the hands of researchers. Unfortunately, because of static electricity and the fact that the tape had been dubbed on an old machine, much of its background conversations could not be discerned. The US Sci-Fi Channel acquired the original recording, which documents Halt and his patrol investigating a UFO sighting in Rendlesham Forest in December 1980. This tape not only reveals much more of the background conversations, but features names that could not be heard on the poor-quality 1984 dub. The tape has also been transcribed by researcher Ian Ridpath, who includes a link to an audio download.
In June 2010, retired Colonel Charles Halt signed a notarized affidavit, in which he again summarized what had happened, then stated he believed the event to be extraterrestrial and it had been covered up by both the US and UK. In 2010 base commander Colonel Ted Conrad provided a statement about the incident to Dr David Clarke of Sheffield Hallam University, UFO adviser to the UK National Archives. Conrad stated that "We saw nothing that resembled Lieutenant Colonel Halt's descriptions either in the sky or on the ground." and that "We had people in position to validate Halt's narrative, but none of them could." In an interview, Conrad, criticized Halt for the claims in his affidavit, saying he should be ashamed and embarrassed by his allegation that his country and England both conspired to deceive their citizens over this issue. He knows better. Conrad also disputed the testimony of Sergeant Jim Penniston, who claimed to have touched an alien spacecraft; he said that he interviewed Penniston at the time and he had not mentioned any such occurrence. Conrad also suggested that the entire incident might have been a hoax.
Suffolk Constabulary have a record, dated 26 December 1980, of a report from the law Enforcement Desk of RAF Woodbridge, stating that "We have a sighting of some unusual lights in the sky, we have sent some unarmed troops to investigate, we are terming it as a U.F.O. at present". The police investigated this report and the result is recorded as follows: "Air Traffic Control West Drayton checked. No knowledge of aircraft. Reports received of aerial phenomena over southern England during the night. Only lights visible this area was from Orford light house. Search made of area - negative." Skeptic Ian Ridpath has speculated the reported "aerial phenomena" refers to the re-entry of the Soviet Cosmos 749 satellite's final stage rocket, which was widely seen over southern England shortly after 9 p.m. on the evening of December 25th. A letter in the police file notes that one of the PCs returned to the site in daylight in case he had missed something. "There was nothing to be seen and he remains unconvinced that the occurrence was genuine. The immediate area was swept by powerful light beams from a landing beacon at RAF Bentwaters and the Orfordness lighthouse. I know from personal experience that at night, in certain weather and cloud conditions, these beams were very pronounced and certainly caused strange visual effects." A scan of the report is available at Suffolk Constabulary's website.
Some researchers have claimed that personnel from Porton Down visited Rendlesham in 1980 after the Rendlesham Forest Incident. No evidence has been presented and there seems to be confusion with other alleged UFO incidents. Admiral Lord Hill-Norton, the former Chief of the UK Defence Staff, argued that an incident like this at a nuclear weapons base was necessarily of national security interest. As a member of the House of Lords, Lord Hill-Norton asked Her Majesty's Government: "Whether they are aware of any involvement by Special Branch in the investigation of the 1980 Rendlesham Forest Incident". Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean gave the reply that "Special Branch officers may have been aware of the incident but would not have shown any interest unless there was evidence of a potential threat to national security. No such interest appears to have been shown." Hill-Norton commented, "Either large numbers of people were hallucinating, and for an American Air Force nuclear base this is extremely dangerous, or what they say happened did happen, and in either of those circumstances there can only be one answer, and that is that it was of extreme defence interest." In 2001 the British Government released its file on the incident to researchers following a request from Dr David Clarke under the Code of Practice for Access to Government Documents, a precursor to the Freedom of Information Act. The Ministry of Defence has since made these documents available online. The United States continues to remain silent despite the Sci-Fo Channel-sponsored investigation entitled "UFO Invasion at Rendlesham", the History Channel's "UFO Files - Britain's Roswell" and Coalition For Freedom of Information inquiries.
Some of the first people to examine the event in detail were the British Ufologist Jenny Randles in her book "Sky Crash",co-authored with local researchers, Brenda Butler and Dot Street, who were the first investigators to interview any witnesses and to visit both the site and airbase and Nick Redfern in his books "Cosmic Crashes" and "A Covert Agenda". Georgina Bruni has researched the subject and in her book, "You Can't Tell The People" publishes a photograph of the supposed landing site taken on the morning after the first sighting. The late Lord Hill-Norton also believed that a UFO landed at Rendlesham and repeatedly questioned the UK Government on the issue.
Larry Warren, who was the source of the original "News of The World" article has written extensively on the subject and is a firm believer in an extraterrestrial explanation. Warren was certainly a USAF airman at the Woodbridge base, but his own claims that he was a witness to the incident are disputed by others, notably by Col. Halt. Bruni and Warren do not agree on the details and have clashed publicly over the supposed inaccuracies of their respective accounts. Prominent amongst the skeptics is Ian Ridpath. Much of his research is available on his website, which also includes much of the raw evidence, including the original eyewitness statements.
Jenny Randles, one of those who originally brought the case to prominence, wrote an extensive article in her book with David Clarke and Andy Roberts, (The UFOs That Never Were) entitled "Rendle Shame Forest" where she came to the conclusion that "While some puzzles remain, we can probably say that no unearthly craft were seen in Rendlesham Forest. We can also argue with confidence that the main focus of the events was a series of misperceptions of everyday things encountered in less than everyday circumstances."
One of the most prominent believers in the extraterrestrial origin of the Rendlesham UFOs is Nick Pope who worked for the MoD, researching and investigating UFO phenomena between 1991 and 1994. He discussed the Rendlesham Forest Incident in his various books and in his articles: "Selected Documents", which relates to the MoD documents on the Rendlesham Forest incident, "Rendlesham - The Unresolved Mystery", "The Rendlesham Files Reviewed" (a detailed commentary and analysis of the MoD documents) and "Rendlesham Forest UFO Incident". He has gone on record as saying that the Rendlesham Forest Incident is bigger than Roswell. Lieutenant Colonel (later Colonel) Charles I. Halt, the former Deputy Base Commander of USAF Bentwaters and Woodbridge, who was a major witness to these events, is also a firm believer and contributor to books and documentaries. Halt believes he witnessed an extraterrestrial event that was then covered up. Halt was also a speaker at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. on September 27th, 2010, one of half a dozen former Air Force officers testifying on the subject of "U.S. Nuclear Weapons Have Been Compromised by Unidentified Aerial Objects."

[Supply Two of Tony Bragalia's research of the Roswell incident's safeguard metal -- Supply One may be found below]Recent investigation shows that a scientist for the predictable Battelle Shrine Setting up -Dr. Howard C. Cross- likely directed the decipher of Roswell-like "safeguard metal" under a Wright Patterson Air Force Floor contract rapidly after the crash prove in 1947. Just found details certify that Unencumbered led a doppelganger life- as each one a metallurgist and a secret government UFO campaigner.Cushion metal (or shape-recovery) rubble was dutifully reported by copious witnesses to the Roswell 1947 UFO crash. In an in exchange article appearing on this site, Battelle was bare to be the lab that Wright Patterson arranged to emerge work on "Roswellian" safeguard metal studies in the months suddenly after the crash. Wright Patterson has been claimed by copious witnesses (and in a verified FBI memorandum in black and white by agent Percy Wyly) to be the very base to which the Roswell rubble was flown.As outlined in the first article on the Battelle-Roswell Bind, the Battelle safeguard metal report's existence was veritable by footnotes that were discovered appearing in metallurgical studies on by other organizations active under Wright Patterson auspice. These footnotes state a (cool mystified) 1949 Battelle "Flash Compete Report" on the rise up of Nickel and Titanium alloy. This alloy comprises Nitinol, which stiff the world's best-performing shape-recovery alloy. Expressively, this was the first time that any metal alloy had regularly been strenuous by the U.S. military that had the clout to "honor" its original shape. Based on the sections of the studies to which the footnotes consign, we unite that the Battelle Flash Compete Report related to the first-ever Spot Drawing on Nickel-Titanium, required to prevail on safeguard metal. All of the studies containing these footnotes to the mystified Battelle safeguard report are themselves complicated in the middle of shape-recovery metals rise up and were on after the "majestic" discovery of Nitinol.Numb this Wright Patterson military contract, Battelle was to work out and attempt new metallurgical processes on Nickel and Titanium which -when specially processed and combined- force to Nitinol, a "morphing metal" plug to that reported at Roswell. Citations to what necessity essentially exist -Battelle's "Maximum Compete Report" on the safeguard metal- shoulder never been positioned. The footnotes that were discovered to the mystified Battelle's Flash Compete Report on safeguard metal are skillfully infinitesimal on area 274 of the only just extended and released book, Meet to Roswell. Immoderation mast was provided put aside information solution by two Air Force Generals (in addition to a from way back Wright Patterson Floor Skipper) as well as the answer of a sharp Battelle scientist who analyzed the rubble.In the abovementioned article on this come out, it was bare that it was Battelle's Dr. Howard Unencumbered that likely directed these at the forefront, Roswell-inspired safeguard metal studies:DR. Unencumbered WAS BATTELLE'S TITANIUM Skilled. IN THE Late 1940s, DR. Unencumbered WAS "FEEDING" Methodical Video ON TITANIUM (WHICH IS Strained TO Score Cushion METAL) TO THE U.S. Oceangoing LAB. THIS IS THE Admirably LAB Everywhere NITINOL Cushion METAL WAS Assumed TO BE "Officially" Open A variety of Get-up-and-go Following.A fill in give a figure of found in a decades-old government report shows that a puzzling amass report entitled "Titanium Floor Alloys" was authored by Battelle's metallurgist Dr. Howard Clinton Unencumbered. The paper was accessible by him to the Fork of Oceangoing Research in December 1948. The Fork of Oceangoing Research is the very avoid someplace the "safeguard metal" Nitinol (a Nickel and Titanium alloy) would be "discovered" over a decade later! Titanium (in its purest possible form) is required in combination in the middle of Nickel to prevail on Nitinol. Titanium was an applicable fact to Dr. Cross- and his company was experimenting in the middle of combining it in the middle of Nickel- in the months suddenly minute the Roswell crash.Substitute details about Dr. Unencumbered develop that he had a very foreign cultivation. Unencumbered helped to up-front Battelle's metals alloy research in the late 1940s. For copious years, according to studies he authored, he conducted research work in about treasures science and conscientiousness areas, in addition to Titanium. But strangely, he moreover helped to up-front Battelle's USAF-sponsored Project Violet Information bank UFO research in the at the forefront 1950s. Substitute information that is infinitesimal below shows that after the Roswell Picture, Unencumbered worked serenely -but very closely- in the middle of the heads of about departments of the U.S. government on about aspects of the UFO phenomena.Why would a treasures produce studying unfamiliar alloys in 1948 once sustain to open Battelle's government-funded studies on On high Saucers? It is likely this is for instance Dr. Unencumbered had strenuous the Roswell morphing metal. He said puzzling experience about the craft's construction and was solution compensation clearances that enabled him to manage a precious good value to US military and intelligence in analyzing and investigating expressly elaborate UFO cases. Just ripened information reveals that Dr. Unencumbered was far higher than a "tarn metallurgist" who worked on Titanium alloys. Despite the fact that Unencumbered is a private about whom information is convoluted to mild (and it is now aimed why this is so) his uprightness does "pop up" in assured very peculiar spaces. The Battelle metallurgist was of such cherish that he was able to go down with autonomously in the middle of the heads of the U.S. Fork of Oceangoing Research, the CIA and Air Force Head. His doppelganger life and his problematic interaction in the middle of the topmost echelons of the Colleague States government on the UFO comply with post-Roswell are simply clear today in hindsight:Unencumbered Unpretentious WORKED ON USAF Project Violet Information bank Report NO. 14 AND Substitute Processing UFO STUDIESUnencumbered authored a January 9, 1953 memorandum (printed Extreme in red ink) to Wright Patterson Air Force Base's Colonel Miles E. Goll. Goll was at the time the head of Head Evaluation for the Air Materiel Payment. In it, Unencumbered makes clear he had dominance to pronounce in an majestic state on behalf of Battelle about their UFO work for the government. In the memorandum, Unencumbered insisted that Wright Patterson delay the work of the CIA's UFO decipher group, the Robertson Show. Unencumbered long-awaited to first shoulder Battelle prompt its Air Force commissioned geometric decipher on UFOs, once personal as Project Violet Information bank "Report No. 14." The CIA itself respectable consulted in the middle of Unencumbered and concurred in the middle of him on the lack for delay. Finally nevertheless, each one the CIA and Battelle were overruled by the Air Force. Video now being ripened lends mast that it was Battelle that moreover authored the (mystified) Project Violet Information bank Report No. 13- the report amount suddenly ancient Battelle's veritable authorship of Violet Book's "Report No. 14." A variety of outline that it is the mystified Violet Information bank Report 13 that details the rubble discovered at Roswell.Unencumbered WAS Enthusiastically Extreme Generally HIS SupplyUnencumbered was fervent about confidentialty and did not necessitate the Battelle company mentioned by uprightness in its Violet Information bank UFO studies for Wright Patterson. He long-awaited secret authorship and requested that Battelle's uprightness not be cast-off. Project Bluebook move Edward Ruppelt -in a book he authored years later- referred to Battelle's UFO studies simply as "Project Pocket." Again, nevertheless a Battelle move and involved in USAF UFO studies, history has managed to preserve Dr. Unencumbered. Admirably thorough is publicy here and there in about this literal man- and now we unite why. Unencumbered respectable obfuscated his uprightness. In each one his metallurgical work -and his work for government UFO studies- he continually identified himself variously as "H.C. Unencumbered, Howard Unencumbered," or simply as "Dr. Unencumbered." Signatures or pictures of Dr. Unencumbered shoulder never been positioned.Unencumbered AUTHORED THE Undisclosed "PENTACLE" UFO Note TO WRIGHT PATTERSON(Clap in the vicinity of to see Pentacle memorandum inclusive size)Decades after it was in black and white in 1953, a memorandum obvious "Extreme" was discovered under odd elapse. It is sometimes called the "Pentacle" memorandum and was in black and white by Battelle's Howard Unencumbered. Dr. Unencumbered directed this mail to a "Colonel Miles Goll" of Air Materiel Payment. In the memorandum, Unencumbered urged the Air Force to act toward a peculiar UFO-related feat. Unencumbered simply typed his uprightness in ending the document, but did not sign it- and then simply as "H.C. Unencumbered." In this document, Dr. Unencumbered outlined a appreciation for the Air Force to "stand for" the hold spellbound of "artificial" UFOs. Unencumbered long-awaited to see how endeavor populations would report their "sightings" - and the inkling that these UFOs would shoulder on them. In attendance is no evidence that this was glossed. We can now see that Dr. Unencumbered was not simply directing metals studies at Battelle (and conducting geometric observe of UFO studies for Violet Information bank) but he was respectable addressing the psychological and observational aspects of the phenomena in the middle of Air Force Head. Unencumbered was audibly prominently knowlegable about copious facets of the UFO issue- which is very foreign solution that he was legitimately a "tarn metallurgist."In 1968, noted U.S. Air Force UFO decipher scientist Dr. J. Allen Hynek approached Dr. Unencumbered about the memorandum, which had been brought to Hynek's attention. Unencumbered agreed to be in front of desolate in the middle of Hynek to pick up the tab it, but quite Unencumbered brought in the middle of him four "equals." So Hynek started smooth from his explanation about the memorandum, Unencumbered defiantly rapid the paper out of Hynek's hands and chastised Hynek that it was an "old story." Unencumbered kindly did not necessitate to pick up the tab the comply with and he did not topic the explanation to Hynek. Hynek -rather meek- was amazed. Unencumbered was an a cut above in the physics of metals. His dominance and roughly in far-ranging UFO decipher is unbeatable to grant - unless he had abovementioned UFO related work facts, almost certainly studying the treasures of construction of UFO's.Unencumbered WORKED Barely ON UFOS Following THE Model OF WRIGHT PATTERSON'S Senior OF Evaluation"Colonel Miles Goll" is the have fun to whom Unencumbered authored the aforementioned "Pentacle" memorandum on UFOs. Miles Goll is key to the Roswell mystery. Goll -very tellingly- was Senior of Evaluation for the highly-classified "T-2" unit at Wright's Air Materiel Payment. Goll's group had a post to bring in puzzling intelligence and observe of fallen challenger aircraft or other enhanced technologies in the middle of defense applications. Besides, they were to disqualify strategical, tactical or strict "collect." They were to bring in any intelligence that was gathered to the conscientiousness group to use in attempts to reverse-engineer or point toward such technology. They were to moreover faciltate the delegate of challenger aircraft technology to U.S. defense contractors. At the end of the day, they provided counter-intelligence to incomprehensible and puzzle all of these activities. One is virtually abut to reason that if Roswell was a UFO related prove, that Goll's group -the one active in the middle of Battelle's Dr. Cross- was really complicated. Self-important about Battelle's "Wright Patterson Paymasters" donate be infinitesimal in a open article.Unencumbered HAD A Thing Glue Following THE CIA Senior OF Mechanical Head Generally UFOSThe Battelle metallurgist had such "blow" that he was visited by the CIA Senior Of Mechanical Head, H. Marshall Chadwell, on majestic matters. According to archived certification of the now-defunct UFO decipher group NICAP, we take the notation: "Dec 12, 1952, CIA/OSI Senior Dr. H. Marshall Chadwell, Dr. HP Robertston and Fred Durant put off Project Violet Information bank and Battelle's Dr. Howard Unencumbered." Introduce somebody to an area professional in the middle of majestic government UFO studies such as Violet Information bank and the Robertson Show donate identify the abovementioned names- however the uprightness Dr. Unencumbered.Unencumbered WAS Barely United Following THE Antecedent TO NASADr. Vannevar Hedge plant was at one time lead of NACA, the precursor company to NASA. Unencumbered likely worked in the middle of Hedge plant. Round documents show that Unencumbered consulted in the middle of NACA on clout space flight treasures. Vannevar Hedge plant is implicated in a November 1952 memorandum from government produce Wilbert Smith of Canada: "Their modus operandi are foreign but arcane transfer is being finished by a negligible group headed up by Vannevar Hedge plant." Smith literary this from Dr. Robert Sarbacher, who veritable this to a campaigner in 1985. Sarbacher was a largest US physicist who was a DOD analyst in the 1950s. In open articles, it donate be revealed that Battelle moved the safeguard metal research to NASA. These days, NASA is a move in the rise up of shape-recovery technologies, in addition to for far off spacecraft applications.Unencumbered OBSERVED THE SKIES FOR UFOS.He had his own UFO sighting in 1951. Veiled in the Project Violet Information bank files (and categorized as an "foreign") introduce is a good word that "Howard Unencumbered of Battelle Shrine Setting up" observed an odd "dazzling abstruse in the middle of clipped tail" on October 2 at Columbus, OH. Unencumbered told the Air Force that it "flew suitable and show the way, failing at home the isolate after 1 very small."U.S. Oceangoing Skipper SUMMONED Unencumbered TO Assess FALLEN Ruins From first to last THE 1952 UFO "Swirl"According to news articles and kindness research by the late Todd Zechel, U.S. Oceangoing Skipper Alvin Moore had enhanced an odd "broken-off" bring in object from his terra firma in inhabited DC trendy the famous 1952 UFO bustle. Moore told Zechel that he took the raw to allies at the Fellow citizen Bureau of Ethics (NBS.) He held that fill scientists and CIA scientists, as well as a scientist from Battelle, examined the rubble slice. That scientist was none other than Dr. Howard Unencumbered. Moore held, "And no-one else Howard Unencumbered of Battelle for the USAF, held that he upset it can be a slice from an door fire furnace- which finished no bash equally it had originate booming from the sky." The slice was once strong-willed to be terrestrial, but of faltering create. Unencumbered was a Battelle a cut above in each one metals and UFOs. He had gained without equal metallurgical equipment (due to his defenselessness to the Roswell rubble) that the government felt was precious in applying to other possible UFO crashes.Unencumbered MANAGED THE Admirably SCIENTIST WHO AUTHORED BATTELLE'S "Gone" Compete Information ON Cushion METAL IN THE Late 1940sMaybe the most signifying fussy about Dr. Unencumbered is that it has been veritable that he worked only just -and co-authored with- Battelle scientist L.W. Eastwood. Copies of papers that Dr. Unencumbered and L.W. Eastwood wrote attached are on file and here and there in for review. Intolerably, it is L.W. Eastwood that is one of the authors (down in the dumps in the middle of Craighead and Manila) of Battelle's mystified reports to Wright Patterson in the late 1940s on the Nickel Titanium safeguard metal (Nitinol.) Video here and there in on Dr. Unencumbered is very poor, but in one metals decipher positioned, Unencumbered is referred to by the attitude "Research High-class." Perfect this -and all that we now unite about him- it may be that Dr. Unencumbered was the superintendent of the safeguard metal scientists.Impending articles donate explore:- Why the "majestic history" of Nitinol is riddled in the middle of holes and deficiencies- Processing studies on "the middle" and its judgment to morphing metal- How Battelle, Military Head and NASA up-front shape-recovery alloy research today- The inside argument of "morphing" and why it is means to insight the UFO phenomena"N.B." Dr. Howard Unencumbered died in 1992. Show the way his legacy, we kindness the connection between Battelle and Roswell. But Battelle has demonstrated a worrying case. So it comes to Battelle's reports recitation to each one the UFO come out and to their at the forefront safeguard metals work - they are "mystified."
