SIGHTINGS ON INCREASE AND OTHER STRANGE THINGS
|
|
It's too early to get an accurate handle on national activity for January,
|
|
but regional activity is picking up. Indiana has recorded four cases already,
|
|
one of which is too sketchy to list on the IS (Intelligence Summary) this
|
|
month. Also, Corydon, Indiana, a UFO hotspot of the last four years has had
|
|
three earthquakes: 1/24 1:20PM 4.0, 1/27 9:06AM 3.5 & 1/29 2:41PM 3.0.
|
|
Ron Street of the Dept. of Geology at the University of Lexington told me that
|
|
this was NOT an active area and a lot of weird things are happening in the re-
|
|
gion. I told him about our MADAR detections in December (12th, 17th, & 22nd).
|
|
He reported a 2.8 near Mayfield, KY. on the 23rd of December that was not re-
|
|
ported to the news media.
|
|
January also produced a few other UFO cases just in. One NL occured at New-
|
|
ton, NJ. Of more interest was the CE1 at Wanaque, NJ. If you remember, there
|
|
were numerous sightings over the reservoir in the 60's. NICAP investigated
|
|
those cases.
|
|
|
|
OCTOBER SIGHTINGS
|
|
As you may have noticed, October entries make up about 1/2 of the IS this
|
|
month, and are still coming in. Most of the data is repeat information, some
|
|
greater detail in some cases. The nebulous material, especially where there is
|
|
no date given, is not listed at all on the IS. But, what you see (& got) is im-
|
|
pressive IF not `generated' by the Russian incident of September 27 and the re-
|
|
sultant media coverage. The calibre or quality of the events appears to indi-
|
|
cate they were genuine and that more people simply made the effort to call in a
|
|
UFO report.
|
|
What impact COMMUNION had on sightings being reported is unknown. It appears
|
|
that the movie was not released in many areas at all, or for any length of time.

WASHINGTON BUREAU FOR UFO REPORTS?
|
|
REF: 10/27/89 4:45AM HARRISON, AR. - Witness "contacted NASA who put them
|
|
in touch with a UFO investigative team `in Washington'". The bureau in Washing-
|
|
ton gave the two women a lot of information about UFO sightings, plus they gave
|
|
them a little information about their sighting which really surprised them. Some
|
|
of the things they told them were pretty scary, the women said." (Source: NCS
|
|
245-5). Were these women really given information such as this? Are they really
|
|
aware of who they talked to? Most callers are referred to the National UFO Re-
|
|
porting Center at Seattle Washington, not Washington, DC. However, recent wit-
|
|
nesses have stated that they have talked to military officers when given a UFO
|
|
hotline number! Some state it was Washington DC. Others say the person on the
|
|
hotline was an AF major or a Col. in the Coast Guard. If this is a government
|
|
number, why are they giving out this type of information? If this is not, some
|
|
persons are getting the wrong impression.
|
|
|
|
ROSWELL CRASH EXPLAINED?
|
|
According to John Keel in a recent article of FATE (March 1990), he has the
|
|
answer to the Roswell incident-Fugo balloons! Some 9000 paper & balsawood bal-
|
|
loons, constructed by school children were launched by the Japanese to raise
|
|
havoc in the U.S. Knowledge of these launches and crashes were top secret in-
|
|
formation. "The biggest breech of this security occured in July 1947, at the
|
|
height of the first `flying saucer scare' when, after a sever storm, the re-
|
|
mains of one of these balloons was found on a ranch in Lincoln County, New Mex-
|
|
ico." Come on now, John! This incident would have been defused many years ago
|
|
by an admission by the U.S. authorities if indeed it was a Fugo balloon near
|
|
Roswell. Maj. Jessee Marcel & Mac Brazel, the key witnesses, would not have had
|
|
any problem denting this material with a sledge hammer! There would have been
|
|
no case.

FT. MONMOUTH RADAR/VISUAL SIGHTINGS
|
|
Upon reading Timothy Good's ABOVE TOP SECRET I came across a document con-
|
|
cerning the 10 September 1951 episode which describes, in more detail, the at-
|
|
tempted chase of a UFO by a T-33 crew (a Major & a Lt.). This followed a ground
|
|
radar/visual incident where student radar operators were demonstrating auto
|
|
track to some visiting brass. The radar could not lock on! Well, the story goes
|
|
that several tracks during those few days in September were all caused by bal-
|
|
loons! It's true that the case is not listed in the AF unknown printout, so the
|
|
only doubt I have is in the one case and the above mentioned document. A T-33
|
|
jet could close on a wind-blown balloon very quickly. Pilots see balloons all
|
|
the time. Was this just another good case thrown out by the AF analysts? I'd
|
|
like to hear some comments.
