Editorial: Hanging On
|
||
|
||
by Carlos A. Steffens
|
||
|
||
In January of 1993, the first issue of EUFON was published. The idea be-
|
||
hind the newsletter was to make a publication were the latest information deal-
|
||
ing with the UFO phenomenon could be found. It would consist of information
|
||
obtained from the various electronic mediums (Internet, Fido, Mufon, etc.) as
|
||
well as author submitted articles. It was also a way to keep up to date with
|
||
the schedule of UFO related conferences.
|
||
|
||
We began with the Linda Napolitano case and before long we had various
|
||
authors submitting articles on all sorts of UFO related subjects. By April,
|
||
the newsletter was gaining a reputation for providing serious information and
|
||
by May, BBSs from Europe were requesting it by name. Unfortunately, that same
|
||
month I had to relocate and lost all contact with the UFO research community.
|
||
|
||
In late December - early January, I got in touch with a few colleagues who
|
||
urged me to get Baron Carlos' Castle back on-line and to fill the hard disk
|
||
space they had separated on their boards to store new EUFON issues. Well, my
|
||
board isn't back on-line and I'm still pretty much out of touch with the UFO
|
||
community, but their support encouraged me to publish this issue.
|
||
|
||
This issue breaks from the traditional EUFON format in that it is a compi-
|
||
lation of UFO news that have been recently published. It also includes the
|
||
transcript of a CNN program where Mr. Bruce Maccabee and Mr. Ed Komarek were
|
||
interviewed regarding the UFO phenomenon. There are no book reports nor annou-
|
||
ncements, and there will be none until I get back on-line (unless you mail them
|
||
to me).
|
||
|
||
Although there are no ground breaking news in these issue, it has very
|
||
interesting information which I am sure you will enjoy.EUFONews 2 - 1 Page 2 04 Feb 1994

Study Finds No Abnormality In Those Reporting U.F.O.'s
|
||
|
||
By WALTER SULLIVAN
|
||
|
||
|
||
A study of 49 people who have reported encounters with unidentified fly-
|
||
ing objects has found no tendency toward abnormality, apart from a previous
|
||
belief that such visitations from beyond the earth do occur.
|
||
|
||
The survey was designed to explore the suggestion that such sightings are
|
||
associated with disorders like epilepsy, or a tendency to fantasize. Abnormali-
|
||
ty of the temporal lobe of the brain, the outer, lower region, which figures in
|
||
memory and learning, has also come under suspicion. It has been proposed that
|
||
abnormality of the temporal lobe may be associated with intense religious
|
||
experiences, visions or apparitions.
|
||
|
||
The study was conducted by four researchers in the department of psycholo-
|
||
gy at Carleton University in Ottawa and reported in the November issue of the
|
||
Journal of Abnormal Psychology.
|
||
|
||
Psychological Tests
|
||
|
||
The study group was recruited through advertisements in several newspapers
|
||
that said: "Carleton University researcher seeks adults who have seen U.F.O.'s.
|
||
Confidential." Each subject was interviewed for about three hours and paid $5
|
||
an hour. For comparison, 127 people, recruited from the student body and the
|
||
local population, were similarly tested.
|
||
|
||
The tests included standard psychological tests used to identify subjects
|
||
with various mental disorders and assess their intelligence. The U.F.O. group
|
||
proved slightly more intelligent than the others. Members of the group were
|
||
divided into two categories: those who said they had simply seen U.F.O.'s at a
|
||
distance and those who reported more intimate encounters, classified as
|
||
"intense" candidates.
|
||
|
||
The large majority of U.F.O. experiences were reported to have taken place
|
||
at night, and almost 60 percent were associated with sleep. Of the experiences
|
||
classified as "intense," the study said a quarter were "most probably explica-
|
||
ble in terms of sleep paralysis," a condition that occurs in otherwise normal
|
||
subjects either just as they fall asleep or as they wake.
|
||
|
||
The Carleton authors note that sleep paralysis often produces a feeling of
|
||
suffocation as well as auditory and visual hallucinations and "the sense of a
|
||
presence." For a moment the person cannot move.
|
||
|
||
Strengthen a Previous Belief
|
||
|
||
"Hallucinating a space alien while paralyzed in bed," they said, was likely
|
||
to strengthen a previous belief in alien life.
|
||
|
||
Some of those describing U.F.O. encounters to other researchers have told of
|
||
an aftermath of extreme stress. Such cases should be investigated for signs of
|
||
sleep paralysis, the Carleton authors said, and the extent to which the
|
||
resulting fear is exacerbated into full-blown trauma by belief in an EUFONews 2 - 1 Page 3 04 Feb 1994
|
||
|
||
|
||
extraterrestrial attack.
|
||
|
||
On the other hand, the researchers found that most of their U.F.O. subjects
|
||
were relatively content and anxiety free. They apparently took comfort in their
|
||
belief "that space aliens were concerned with and even guiding the destiny of
|
||
humankind."
|
||
|
||
The authors of the study were Nicholas P. Spanos, Patricia A. Cross, Kirby
|
||
Dickson and Susan C. DuBreuil.

Reports of UFO sightings in Johannesburg suburbs
|
||
|
||
|
||
JOHANNESBURG, Nov 25 (AFP) - Residents of Johannesburg's northern suburbs
|
||
called a local radio talk show Thursday to report an unidentified flying
|
||
object.
|
||
|
||
About half a dozen callers from the Rivonia area said it was around 5:00
|
||
p.m. (1500 GMT) Thursday when they saw the UFO, emitting "a whooshing sound" as
|
||
it headed south at the altitude of "a landing aircraft."
|
||
|
||
They described the object variously as "round," "bullet-shaped," or
|
||
"diamond-shaped," with "flashing red lights."
|
||
|
||
A spokesman for the private Radio 702 station said Thursday's calls fol-
|
||
lowed a similar one Wednesday from a resident of Kyalami, venue of the Formula-
|
||
-1 South African Grand Prix.
|
||
|
||
The spokesman said most of the callers "sounded like fairly intelligent
|
||
people."
|
||
|
||
The calls stopped after one listener, who identified himself only as
|
||
Russell, brought a political dimension to the sightings: The UFO landed in his
|
||
back yard, he said, little men stepped out and said, "take us to your
|
||
responsible leader."
|
||
|
||
"I told them we had no responsible leaders, and they climbed back into
|
||
their machine and left," Russell reported.

For U.F.O. Fans, Question Is Not 'If?' but 'How Was the Trip?'
|
||
|
||
By DOUGLAS MARTIN
|
||
|
||
|
||
Granville Angell denounced the way some people have begun to refer to
|
||
visitors from outer space as "grays," though most of those sighted indeed seem
|
||
to have been that color.
|
||
|
||
The psychological counselor from Lincolnton, N.C., said he spoke from
|
||
experience, having been abducted himself by aliens a time or two. He said it
|
||
would be more sensitive to use terms like extraterrestrial biological entities,
|
||
visitors, beings or occupants.
|
||
|
||
So far Mr. Angell's patients have not included ET's, though he regularly
|
||
tries to help Earthlings adjust to getting to know them. "The first trauma is
|
||
having reality shattered," he said. "The second is when the person has the
|
||
courage to come out of the closet and share his experience."
|
||
|
||
Yesterday at the Ramada Pennsylvania Hotel at Seventh Avenue and 33d
|
||
Street, a person who had seen an unidentified flying object or even hundreds
|
||
would hardly be branded as an oddball. Around 1,000 flying saucer buffs gath-
|
||
ered to hear some of the country's leading experts discussing extraterrestrial
|
||
intelligence, and how the world's governments, particularly Washington, are
|
||
covering up their ever more intimate relationship with beings from far, far
|
||
away.
|
||
|
||
An American Preoccupation
|
||
|
||
To be sure, flying saucers have been an American preoccupation since at
|
||
least the early 1950's. But the Brownies and Polaroids of yesteryear have given
|
||
way to advanced visual technologies, including the direct monitoring of space
|
||
shuttle transmissions on cable television. Moreover, hypnosis and other
|
||
psychological tools are being more widely used to help people remember alien
|
||
abductions.
|
||
|
||
Perhaps most significant, two generations have been more than enough time
|
||
for a mountain of knowledge and legend to accumulate on U.F.O.s, as fascination
|
||
continues to grow.
|
||
|
||
It has all come together at this weekend's extravaganza at the Ramada. The
|
||
gathering was the product of Whole Life Productions, a Los Angeles producer of
|
||
natural food and holistic health fairs. "In California right now, this is the
|
||
segment of the paranormal spectrum that's getting the most attention," said
|
||
Paul Andrews, Whole Life's president.
|
||
|
||
There was something for everyone who yearned to believe that there was
|
||
more to sentient life than human beings. For $25 admission, attenders could
|
||
hear lectures on how Martians may have shot down the National Aeronautics and
|
||
Space Administration's probe of the red planet or how cave men interacted with
|
||
alien visitors. For just $30 more each, they could attend workshops on U.F.O.
|
||
sightings on Long Island or the possibility of human evolution's being the
|
||
result of alien genes.
|
||
EUFONews 2 - 1 Page 5 04 Feb 1994
|
||
|
||
|
||
'Aren't They Cute?'
|
||
|
||
"We've weeded out all the goofballs," said Gary Schultz, who spoke on
|
||
alien technology.
|
||
|
||
At tables piled high with merchandise, they could buy copies of the
|
||
"Cereologist: The Journal of Crop Circle Studies"; have sicknesses healed at
|
||
the price of $ (this part was lost in the transmission), a trip to Yucatan's
|
||
pyramids for $1,306. Statues of little gray extraterrestrial beings were also
|
||
available at $20 plus $4 for shipping and handling.
|
||
|
||
"Aren't they cute?" a woman chirped, tugging at a man's arm.
|
||
|
||
Mr. Andrews cited several reasons for the upsurge of interest. One is the
|
||
increase in assertions that an ultra-secret government research area in New
|
||
Mexico has long been the site of joint research with extraterrestrials. Another is unexplained huge circles in fields that U.F.O. buffs say are saucer landing
|
||
spots. Still another are mutilations of cattle herds that cannot be explained
|
||
away except as the product of advanced technologies, Mr. Andrews said.
|
||
|
||
But the biggest reason is new video technology, including the ability of
|
||
home viewers to tap into space shuttle transmissions and study the heavens for
|
||
themselves.
|
||
|
||
Did Reagan Hint at Aliens?
|
||
|
||
One speaker intended to use NASA tapes to prove the moon is inhabited,
|
||
while another claimed photographic evidence of a rocket blasting off from Mars.
|
||
|
||
At a press conference, participants showed videos to press these points, a
|
||
case that would have been strengthened had the television worked properly. Ev-
|
||
ery so often, President Reagan's face would emerge from the static and he would
|
||
say the differences between the Soviet Union and the United States would seem
|
||
meaningless if they together faced an alien threat -- a statement speakers
|
||
insisted that Mr. Reagan made on five or six different occasions.
|
||
|
||
But in intermittent bursts, the videos showed intriguing phenomena. One
|
||
portrayed a bright light, saucer shaped, approaching over the Earth's horizon,
|
||
then suddenly turning tail and retreating into space at a much higher speed.
|
||
Another showed what looked like a carving of a face on the surface of Mars that
|
||
a speaker said was a mile across.
|
||
|
||
Robert O. Dean, who spent 27 years in the United States Army and claimed
|
||
to have a "cosmic security clearance," told the news conference that he had
|
||
assembled a team of generals and admirals, as well as astronauts and cosmo-
|
||
nauts, who were prepared to go public and shatter the global cover-up. All they
|
||
need is immunity from prosecution for violating security clearances and a com-
|
||
mitment to broadcast their testimony without editing, possibly on C-Span.
|
||
|
||
Earthlings Might Panic
|
||
|
||
"We're not simply dealing with extraterrestrial visitation," Mr. Dean
|
||
said. "It's a lot bigger than that. This makes Watergate, the Cold War, all of
|
||
that, trivial in importance."
|
||
|
||
EUFONews 2 - 1 Page 6 04 Feb 1994
|
||
|
||
|
||
So why isn't the United States Government telling the truth? Michael Luc-
|
||
kman, president of the New York Center for U.F.O. Research, cited three reaso-
|
||
ns. One is that if U.F.O.'s were officially acknowledged, people might no lon-
|
||
ger pay allegiance to leaders of individual countries. Second, aliens might be
|
||
able to rule the world with their superior technology. Third, Earthlings might
|
||
panic.
|
||
|
||
Mr. Angell suggested it all may come down to ego, particularly since most
|
||
people assume the aliens are more advanced. He said, "When two societies
|
||
interface, and one is superior to the other, the one that is less developed
|
||
generally collapses," he said. "Our Government may be trying to protect us from
|
||
this fear, and we should be more sensitive to the good intentions behind the
|
||
coverup."
|
||
|
||
This was an intense group of people, including some who have been U.F.O.
|
||
buffs for 20 years without ever seeing one. But Mr. Andrews drew the line at
|
||
permitting the participation of "channelers" who act as conduits for the voices
|
||
of long dead aliens.
|
||
|
||
"To be honest with you, there are people in this field who belong in an
|
||
institution," he said with a laugh.

DEMONSTRATORS SEEK UN ACTION ON UFOS
|
||
|
||
By Anthony Goodman
|
||
|
||
|
||
As if the United Nations hasn't got its hands full dealing with problems
|
||
on Earth, a small group of demonstrators marched near U.N. headquarters Friday
|
||
to demand action concerning visitors from outer space.
|
||
|
||
Specifically, they want the world body to take the lead in disclosing
|
||
information about unidentified flying objects (UFOs) , or so-called "flying
|
||
saucers," which they say is being covered up by many governments.
|
||
|
||
"We call upon the U.N. secretary-general to end the worldwide UFO cover-up
|
||
and acknowledge to the world's people that the UFO phenomenon is
|
||
extraterrestrial," says one of their pamphlets.
|
||
|
||
The demonstration, with about three dozen participants, was organized by
|
||
the New York Center for UFO Research and Operation Right to Know, in connection
|
||
with a two-day UFO conference at a New York hotel.
|
||
|
||
In a recent letter to Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali, the two
|
||
organizations said the United Nations already has the necessary means at hand.
|
||
|
||
They cited a 1978 decision by the General Assembly which invited interest-
|
||
ed member states to "take appropriate steps to coordinate on a national level
|
||
scientific research and investigation into extraterrestrial life, including
|
||
unidentified flying objects. " EUFONews 2 - 1 Page 7 04 Feb 1994
|
||
|
||
|
||
Adopted without a vote, it was the result of lobbying by the then-prime
|
||
minister of the Caribbean nation of Grenada, Eric Gairy, who wanted the United
|
||
Nations to set up an agency to explore UFOs and similar phenomena.
|
||
|
||
Like many other Assembly decisions, this one remained a dead letter.
|
||
|
||
One of the demonstration's organizers, Mike Luckman, citing the wars and
|
||
environmental disasters plaguing Earth, said: "If the extraterrestrials ever
|
||
landed, being from an advanced civilization, they could help us out in myriad
|
||
ways."
|
||
|
||
Asked how he knew they were friendly, he replied: "There is no indication
|
||
they are not friendly. I'm not saying that every single one of them is, because
|
||
it is a vast universe ..."
|
||
|
||
Luckman, a 52-year-old free-lance public relations man, has never seen a
|
||
UFO, which he says are rarely sighted in New York City.
|
||
|
||
"Pine Bush, New York, is the place to see them. That's the closest hot
|
||
spot to New York City," he added.
|
||
|
||
But he said he had pored over thousands of documents "pried out of every
|
||
branch of the government involved in national security ... which clearly say
|
||
UFOs are real, they operate under intelligent control, they are extraterrestri-
|
||
al in origin and they are visiting Earth."

U.F.O.s
|
||
|
||
BY: SONYA FRIEDMAN;
|
||
|
||
Two believers in U.F.O.'s discuss sightings and the alleged government cover-up
|
||
of information about U.F.O.'s. They discuss sightings and other events that
|
||
have supposedly occurred since 1947.
|
||
|
||
|
||
SONYA: Thank you, Myron, welcome back. And now for something completely
|
||
different, does the United States government bury reports of unidentified
|
||
flying objects? Ed Komarek says yes, and that's why he helped start a group
|
||
called Operation Right to Know. How does Ed know? He saw one with his own
|
||
eyes. Those who believe that there is a U.F.O. cover-up usually cite an
|
||
incident back in 1947, a crash of an object later identified by government
|
||
officials as a weather balloon, which U.F.O. advocates say is baloney. They
|
||
have a letter to prove it. Bruce Maccabee works for the Navy as a research
|
||
physicist. He's also President of the Maryland Chapter of the Mutual U.F.O. EUFONews 2 - 1 Page 8 04 Feb 1994
|
||
|
||
|
||
Network. U.F.O. partisans will be demonstrating at the White House on Monday
|
||
to protest the concealment of what they feel is a mountain of data on an abun-
|
||
dance of U.F.O. sightings. Mr. Komarek, tell us about the U.F.O. that you saw.
|
||
|
||
ED KOMAREK, Operation Right To Know: OK, my situation was a little unusual. A
|
||
lot of times, people usually have a sighting, and that gets them into the
|
||
U.F.O. subject. With me, I've been involved, like, 20 years, and I finally got
|
||
lucky and was in the right place at the right time, and I was working on a
|
||
case, oh, about 25 miles north of where I live, and it involved an encounter
|
||
case where a fellow was telling me about his encounters with a small human type
|
||
of alien. And what I saw was a bright red light, came in from the side, sort
|
||
of like a- at the speed of an airplane, but it was like a stop sign with, like,
|
||
a little purple in the middle, and as it slowed down, it came on in, and as it
|
||
slowed down, the bright red light got smaller and smaller. And then, when it
|
||
was actually hovering, you could actually see the other lights on the craft,
|
||
just like if an airliner was sitting out there, you know, and not making any
|
||
sound at all, and so, I tend, you know, a lot more to believe this fellow, you
|
||
know, because I did see it myself, even though I had, you know, no encounters
|
||
with the occupants or anything like that.
|
||
|
||
SONYA: Now, Mr. Maccabee, there's proof, definite proof, that the government is
|
||
hiding material?
|
||
|
||
BRUCE MACCABEE, Mutual U.F.O. Network: There's strong circumstantial evidence
|
||
buried in the government's own documents. The government has been collecting
|
||
information on the subject since 1947, and we know that official intelligence
|
||
collection requirements went out to various agencies including the agencies of
|
||
the Air Force and the Army and the Navy, the C.I.A. and so on, as early as the
|
||
fall of 1947. And the during the first five or six years of- up until the ear-
|
||
ly 1950's, the F.B.I. collected a considerable amount of information as well,
|
||
and if there was nothing to it, you would ask the question, why bother collect-
|
||
ing information?
|
||
|
||
SONYA: Well, I'm not sure whether or not information is really being collected.
|
||
I've looked at a number of the documents that, frankly, are very hazy in terms
|
||
of what they say, but you've got guys like Ed Komarek out here. You don't need
|
||
the government, Mr. Maccabee. You could just round up guys like Ed, ask them a
|
||
variety of questions, and test the veracity. For example, how would you know
|
||
if what Ed reported was the truth, or frankly, a figment of his imagination, or
|
||
something else out there?
|
||
|
||
Mr. MACCABEE: Well, I presume if it were just Mr. Komarek making a sighting
|
||
report, I probably wouldn't be extremely interested in the subject. Sorry, Ed,
|
||
but you know, that's the way it goes. On the other hand, I presume it was a
|
||
multiple-witness sighting.
|
||
|
||
Mr. KOMAREK: It was.
|
||
|
||
Mr. MACCABEE: The ones that I'm most particularly interested in are multiple
|
||
witness sightings during the daytime when credible, experienced observers see
|
||
things which- close enough so that they can see fine details of structure, and
|
||
it's clearly not a bird or a plane or Superman, it's something very unusual,
|
||
and I know of a number of sightings like that.
|
||
|
||
SONYA: Now when you say you know of a number of sightings like that, you have
|
||
documented those. Each of these people has been interrogated by whom, by the
|
||
way. Who would actually interrogate people about whether or not they saw
|
||
U.F.O.'s?
|
||
|
||
Mr. MACCABEE: Well, the Air Force did a lot of interrogations in the early EUFONews 2 - 1 Page 9 04 Feb 1994
|
||
|
||
|
||
years, up through 1969, and if one were just to go back and look at the
|
||
interviews, even the F.B.I. interviewed people in 1947. If one were to go back
|
||
and look at the interviews by the Air Force and other intelligence agencies,
|
||
you would find that there is a considerable amount of detail which is avail-
|
||
able. It's just not easy to come by. I, myself, on the other hand, have in-
|
||
terviewed a number of people myself, including pilots, and they're very credi-
|
||
ble people, and they describe, quite accurately, what they can- what they can
|
||
see.
|
||
|
||
SONYA: Do they describe what Ed just told you he saw? I mean, can you, in
|
||
listening to Ed, get a sense that he's on a similar track to others?
|
||
|
||
Mr. MACCABEE: Probably on a similar track, but I would have to- I didn't know
|
||
Ed had a sighting. So, I would have to sit down and talk to him, and anybody
|
||
else who saw it and try to make correlations of what had happened.
|
||
|
||
SONYA: What do you want to know from him, I'm curious? You're the expert.
|
||
|
||
Mr. MACCABEE: What do I want?
|
||
|
||
SONYA: Yeah.
|
||
|
||
Mr. MACCABEE: What do I want to know from Ed? Well, I would want to sit down
|
||
with him and go through the whole thing, second-by-second, or minute-by-minute,
|
||
and then, after I understand what his general description is, go back and look
|
||
for fine details. If there are other witnesses, then I would talk very
|
||
carefully, ask similar questions of the other witnesses, interview them
|
||
independently of Ed, and try to correlate all these stories. Now, for example,
|
||
we have situations in Gulf Breeze, Florida, in the last couple of years, where
|
||
there have been literally dozens of witnesses to strange lights and things
|
||
moving around in the sky. These people have been interviewed. We have created
|
||
triangulations, that is sightings of one thing from several different loca-
|
||
tions. It involves not only that, but videotape, photographs and so on, and
|
||
all this information, when combined, leads to the conclusion that there's some-
|
||
thing unidentified flying around in our air space.
|
||
|
||
SONYA: Gentlemen, when we continue, I'm going to ask both of you the following.
|
||
I mean, if there is intelligence that is capable of doing what you have
|
||
described, coming to this planet, and wants to be seen/heard, here we are right
|
||
here. We'll give them all of the opportunity to be seen and to be heard. Why
|
||
aren't they doing it in clearly what is the most obvious way? 212-643-0077.
|
||
Have you had a sighting? Give us a call.
|
||
|
||
[Commercial break]
|
||
|
||
SONYA: Welcome back. U.F.O.'s, the government keeping documents secret proving
|
||
that there were U.F.O.'s that landed on this country? I don't know. Let's go
|
||
to New Jersey and say hello to Dante. Welcome.
|
||
|
||
1st CALLER: [New Jersey] Hello.
|
||
|
||
SONYA: Yes.
|
||
|
||
1st CALLER: I just wanted to tell of an experience that I had. I'm 48 years
|
||
old now. When I was 12 years old, I lived in California, and we were on a trip
|
||
to King's Canyon National Park in California. I was with my mother, my father,
|
||
my best friend and her mother and father. Her father was an excellent
|
||
photographer. We sighted a U.F.O. on the way up to the park on this one-lane
|
||
road, and we parked by the side of the road, and we sat there on the hill, and
|
||
we watched it. Other people stopped and they watched it. We saw it from EUFONews 2 - 1 Page 10 04 Feb 1994
|
||
|
||
|
||
mid-afternoon until dusk. My girlfriend's father took many, many, many
|
||
pictures, and finally, there were three of them. They were close. They never
|
||
landed, but they were close enough to see their shape, the size, the colors of
|
||
the lights and everything like that.
|
||
|
||
SONYA: All right, then the question really is, Ed, if there are people from
|
||
outer space coming to this planet, why aren't they landing, getting out? The
|
||
government can't stop them. I mean, there are people all around that could
|
||
help prove the validity of it.
|
||
|
||
Mr. KOMAREK: OK, it's a very complex situation. You know, of course, I'm only
|
||
speculating because I haven't had any encounters personally with the occupants,
|
||
or had any discussions with them, though some people claim to have done that.
|
||
Basically, from the information that I've seen, there are so many different
|
||
types of sightings, the different types of apparent craft that are using
|
||
advanced forms of propulsion and such a variety of different types of occupants
|
||
reported that you have quite a number of different types with a wide range of
|
||
agendas and motivations, but there seems to be a common thread that holds them
|
||
together, and our relationship to us, and I think that is that they are proba-
|
||
bly concerned about culture shock. In our own country, we've seen where a more
|
||
advanced culture has come in contact with a less advanced, technically advanced
|
||
culture, and the less technically advanced culture has been devastated by the
|
||
new ideas and the new ways of looking at things, as well as the technology and
|
||
everything. So I think there would be, you know, from my perspective and
|
||
speculation, there would be a concern, a definite concern for culture shock.
|
||
|
||
SONYA: Well, you certainly sound as though you are convinced about all this.
|
||
Let's see if Brian in California is. Welcome, Brian. Brian, are you with us?
|
||
|
||
2nd CALLER: [California] Yes, I am.
|
||
|
||
SONYA: Go ahead.
|
||
|
||
2nd CALLER: Yeah, I have a question about someone who is involved with this
|
||
whole situation with U.F.O.'s. How does a person who's interested and wanting
|
||
to get involved with people who are doing the investigations go about getting
|
||
in contact with these people?
|
||
|
||
SONYA: Bruce?
|
||
|
||
Mr. MACCABEE: Well, you can contact the Mutual U.F.O. Network in Seguin, Texas.
|
||
I presume if you call Seguin, S-E-G-U-I-N, Texas, and ask for information, they
|
||
could give you a phone number that you could call. I would like to say to the
|
||
previous lady who made a report just about two minutes ago, I would be very
|
||
interested in seeing the photographs, and she can get a hold of me simply by
|
||
calling information in Washington, D.C. and asking the information person for a
|
||
phone number for U.F.O. The Fund for U.F.O. Research is headquartered in
|
||
Washington, D.C., and will be- The number that person gets will ring the
|
||
Fund for U.F.O. Research.
|
||
|
||
SONYA: Bruce, let me ask you if you agree with what Ed says. I mean, frankly,
|
||
the technology is there. If somebody wanted to get in touch with us, they can.
|
||
I'm not so narcissistic that I don't think that there are other forms of
|
||
intelligence, and we could use all the help we could get.
|
||
|
||
Mr. MACCABEE: Well, that's true, but we don't know what their agenda is, and it
|
||
would appear, over the last 40 years, that their agenda does not involve di-
|
||
rect, overt contact. On the other hand, it's clear that they haven't tried to
|
||
completely hide themselves. I presume if they had tried that, then there would
|
||
not be any U.F.O. sightings, and nobody would be here discussing the problem. EUFONews 2 - 1 Page 11 04 Feb 1994
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
SONYA: Let's go to Vermont and say hello to Mia, welcome.
|
||
|
||
3rd CALLER: [Vermont] Hello.
|
||
|
||
SONYA: Yes.
|
||
|
||
3rd CALLER: I'm calling from Vermont, and I just wanted to say that I used to
|
||
live in Sparks, Nevada. It was the year, approximately, 1977 when I saw three
|
||
very, very fast-moving objects in the blue sky, and I have never forgotten.
|
||
There was no one that I could call to share this with, but it was- It was very
|
||
fascinating to see these three objects flying so fast.
|
||
|
||
SONYA: And you're sure, in your own mind, that these were U.F.O.'s?
|
||
|
||
3rd CALLER: Oh, absolutely.
|
||
|
||
SONYA: Now Bruce, when you talk about the fact that the government is keeping
|
||
things back from us, what do you think is the agenda there, really, why?
|
||
|
||
Mr. MACCABEE: Well, they probably know something we don't. First, I'd like to
|
||
point out that you can always trust Vermonters, being one myself, so obviously
|
||
that lady saw U.F.O.'s. Second thing is, we don't know what the government
|
||
hasn't released. All we can do is make deductions based on interviews with
|
||
witnesses. As you pointed out in your initial statements in this program,
|
||
there seems to be evidence that the government actually retrieved crashed sau-
|
||
cer pieces or something like that back in 1947, and then, in my opinion, went
|
||
into sort of a dual mode of operation, one was to control access to the evi-
|
||
dence, and the other one was to collect U.F.O. information. Now here we have a
|
||
picture of a- These are a series of photos from videotapes taken within the
|
||
last six months by people, one in Gulf Breeze, Florida, another one up in Cana-
|
||
da. Unfortunately, these are not being shown in real time, but rather as still
|
||
frames. The one in Florida was particularly interesting. I think it's the
|
||
first video we have of a U.F.O. moving along very slowly, and then all of a
|
||
sudden accelerating to an extremely high speed, and going out of the field of
|
||
the view of the camera faster than the cameraman could follow it. I estimate
|
||
that if it were 1,000 feet from the camera, that it was eight to nine feet in
|
||
diameter, and within 1/30th of a second, it achieved an acceleration about 500
|
||
G's.
|
||
|
||
SONYA: Mr. Maccabee, all of this is so interesting because I think there are
|
||
many of us who would love to have the opportunity to also have a contact. When
|
||
we continue, I'm going to ask you if there's any way that people could enhance
|
||
that possibility, and we'd like your calls. Any comments you have about this,
|
||
do you believe this is true, that there's really a government cover-up?
|
||
212-643-0077.
|
||
|
||
[Commercial break]
|
||
|
||
SONYA: Welcome back. As we continue to talk about this, the issue of the
|
||
U.F.O.'s, Bruce, is there a way that people could call the experience to them?
|
||
I mean, it's always, like, out in the desert in Nevada or somewhere where
|
||
there's one or two people around, but family members or close friends. If I
|
||
wanted to, could I set up a certain kind of condition to make it happen?
|
||
|
||
Mr. MACCABEE: Not that I know of, although some people have tried that. U.F.O.
|
||
sightings seem to happen more or less, mostly more, independently of who hap-
|
||
pens to be looking. Now, if you're trying to find a U.F.O. sighting for your-
|
||
self, you might keep track of where- what areas of the country or what areas of
|
||
the world are having sightings at any particular time, and try to go there. EUFONews 2 - 1 Page 12 04 Feb 1994
|
||
|
||
|
||
Down in Gulf Breeze, Florida, between November, 1990 and July, 1992 they- a
|
||
number of people- had about 170 recorded sightings. There were so many of the
|
||
happening down there that I went down myself in September of '91 and happened
|
||
to be there on the night when there was indeed something that appeared in the
|
||
sky. I saw a ring of white lights just appear in the sky above Gulf Breeze.
|
||
It was very steady and motionless until it started to move a little bit. We
|
||
saw it for 70 seconds, and then it just sort of faded out, and there was noth-
|
||
ing there. Rings of light are not supposed to appear in the sky. That was
|
||
just one of many sightings like that in the area. Now those sightings sort of
|
||
ended last July, in the sense that, up until July of last year, they were hav-
|
||
ing several per week, and since July of last year, they've had, maybe a few
|
||
dozen sightings total, so the point is, that if you-
|
||
|
||
SONYA: Well, what's going on, I guess, is really the question, and let's ask
|
||
that of Barry from California. What do you think?
|
||
|
||
4th CALLER: Yes, I had a question for Mr. Maccabee regarding the spaceship
|
||
sightings in the area north of Las Vegas around the town of Rachel, which is
|
||
known as Area 51, and that's where some of the more outlandish claims that the
|
||
government is actually working on alien technology and there might be an alien
|
||
presence there. Would you like to comment? Thank you.
|
||
|
||
Mr. MACCABEE: Yes. Well, there certainly have been claims that area, where
|
||
highly classified aircraft are tested, might be an area where they would be
|
||
testing U.F.O.'s if the government is testing the flight of flying saucers or
|
||
U.F.O.'s. I don't have any guaranteed evidence that something unusual us going
|
||
on there. On the other hand, it's clear that numerous people, including news
|
||
crews, not only from the United States, but from other countries, have gone to
|
||
that area, and photographed some oddly-behaving, lighted something or others
|
||
over the restricted area. Now, I suppose one could imagine that the Air Force
|
||
is flying ordinary helicopters or aircraft and then putting on garish lighting
|
||
in order to entertain people who go to the little alien.
|
||
|
||
SONYA: If I was your wife, Bruce, or your wife, Ed. I don't know if I would
|
||
believe all of this stuff. Just very quickly, does your wife believe this,
|
||
Bruce?
|
||
|
||
Mr. MACCABEE: My wife told me that before she met me, she had not really
|
||
thought much about it, but after being, sort of, beaten on, I guess, about the
|
||
subject for the last almost 10 years, over 10 years now, she's convinced that
|
||
there really is something there.
|
||
|
||
SONYA: Either that, or you're a great salesman. Ed, what about you?
|
||
|
||
Mr. KOMAREK: Yeah, my wife was pretty skeptical to begin with, but I think
|
||
she's just seen so much evidence that is continuously flowing across my desk, EUFONews 2 - 1 Page 13 04 Feb 1994
|
||
|
||
|
||
and that I have shared with her, that she's beginning to believe that there's
|
||
definitely something to it.
|
||
|
||
SONYA: Ed, did everybody with you have the exact same experience in this
|
||
multiple sighting. Were the details different at all?
|
||
|
||
Mr. KOMAREK: OK, this one, it was basically the same details on the sighting.
|
||
It got a lot more deeper than what I said, and in fact, the witnesses don't
|
||
even want me to talk about it that much, and so I really haven't reported it to
|
||
M.U.F.O.N. or any other organizations, because it involves the guy that claims
|
||
to have contact with E.T.'s, does not want the information to get out, his
|
||
E.T.'s don't want it to get out. That's what he said.
|
||
|
||
SONYA: What would prove you wrong?
|
||
|
||
Mr. MACCABEE: What would prove me wrong?
|
||
|
||
SONYA: Mm-hmm.
|
||
|
||
Mr. MACCABEE: Well, I have analyzed a large number of sightings, which I claim
|
||
are unexplainable in ordinary terms. If someone can come along and provide
|
||
convincing solutions to all of these sightings, that is convincing, perhaps, to
|
||
an independent panel, or whatever, then I would have to say, well, I have no
|
||
evidence. On the other hand, it would be hard to prove me wrong, I guess, in
|
||
terms of a government cover-up, without having the government spill the beans
|
||
on virtually everything it is doing. So, that could be kind of difficult, I
|
||
would think.
|
||
|
||
SONYA: OK, now I want you guys to be real careful this weekend, because there's
|
||
going to be lots of stuff up in the skies. It's going to be fireworks, so be
|
||
cautious about that when you take your pictures.
|
||
|
||
Mr. KOMAREK: OK, you all come to our demonstration now, on July 5th.
|
||
|
||
SONYA: That's right, you're having a demonstration in front of the White House
|
||
for the right to know, so that the government releases the documents, gentle-
|
||
men, I thank you for being with us, and I thank you for giving us something to
|
||
think about, and I'll be right back.
|
||
|
||
[Commercial break]
|
||
|
||
SONYA: Well, thank you for joining me today. On Monday, observing an American
|
||
holiday with a question for America, do you really want to turn your back on
|
||
the next generation of immigrants? That's the question as I continue to ask
|
||
why things are the way they are, a look at our world from the inside out. En-
|
||
joy the rest of your day, and have a wonderful and safe weekend.
