- Subj: MUFON Meeting
-
- I just attended a Maryland MUFON meeting, (I guess you could call it a
- meeting but it seemed more like a mini-convention to me), and l heard some
- interesting stuff:
-
- [Disclaimer: I have great sympathy for reporters. It is _darn_ hard to
- listen and think _and_ take legible notes! <grin>]
-
- Maccabee:
- -+-------
- Said he knows, by name, 12 other people who have clearly seen the
- UFO/Ed-craft.
-
- Showed a bunch of Red-light UFO videotape. Several different sequences where
- something is seen falling/dropping/lowered from the object. When analyzed,
- he said the odd thing about the 'light' that is 'dropped' is that it shows no
- detectable signs of acceleration - so whatever it is that's happenning isn't
- simply a dropped light/flare/etc... [Newton would be alarmed... <grin>]
-
- He mentioned a significant GB sighting on 10/30 that was witnessed by many
- people and lasted 9 minutes. Because of the duration and the number of
- witnesses he suggested that there could be other implications.
-
- He stated again that he thinks GB, including Ed, is real and 'the most
- important event in UFOlogy today...' [That's not a direct quote.]
-
- He also mentioned that there have been several times when witnesses have seen
- kites and balloons with flares but these were infrequent and easily spotted.
-
- He mentioned a sneaky radar confirmation where a MUFON investigator, I think
- he said it was Morrison, witnessed a Red-light UFO, called an Air Traffic
- Controller at one of the Naval Air Stations in Gulf Breeze and claimed to be
- on a boat and 'saw something weird.' The Controller said they had spotted it
- too, had no idea what it was, but were already checking into it... In a
- next-day official inquiry the NAS said they tracked nothing...
-
- Don Berliner:
- -+-----------
- The Friedman/Berliner Roswell book will be out in June '92 and as of today
- the publisher hasn't selected a title from the 18 possible titles Friedman
- and Berliner submitted. Friedman and others did the research, Berliner wrote
- the book. Basically, regarding the Roswell part of the book, (it will be
- about other things as well), they accept the Randle/Schmitt version of
- Roswell and then _ADD_ to that scenario a 2nd crash scenario at the Plains of
- St. Augustine, which is about 150 miles from Corona (the actual Roswell crash
- site). I sure hope they have more to go on than just the Gerald Anderson
- diary/regressed memory and a 2nd-hand comment allegedly made by Brazel, when
- he was quite old and already sick with cancer, about 'getting the cancer from
- breathing the alien's air'... He specifically downplayed the squabbles
- associated with this event and the research.
-
- Berliner stated that he's not aware of any decent evidence regarding alleged
- MIBs and he speculated that their general decline and disappearance from the
- UFO scene was oddly correlated with the decline of those people who passed
- around those stories...
-
- He also had an interesting story related by Hynek (I think) about a "cocktail
- party" where Carl Sagan informally questioned Hynek specifically about the
- Abduction phenomenon. Nothing else, just abductions, for hours. Sagan was
- very well prepared and informed prior...
-
- Linda Howe:
- -+---------
- "Fox has been overwhelmed with phone calls and letters" regarding the recent
- UFO show - almost all positive. About 9 - 10 million viewers based on the
- N-rating... She said it was "_very difficult_" to get the Animal Mutilation
- and Alien Abduction topics, in _any_ edited version, included in the show.
- She showed cutting-room-floor clips that are interesting not only for their
- information content but also for the possible reasons why they were excluded.
-
- She clarified some points regarding Jesse Long and the alleged implant.
- According to the analysis it is much closer to quartz crystal than it is to
- glass. She showed slides of microscopic photo comparisons where this is
- easily visible.
-
- She also said that there are 2 other implants currently being studied by
- unnamed Universities that are 99% carbon. Additionally, she kinda/sorta
- mentioned "fleshy tissue implants", specifically the type nasally inserted,
- which could very well be undetectable...
-
- She said she has information on continuing animal mutilations as recent as
- several weeks ago.
-
- November 11th she and Maccabee will be on, or will be taping, some unnamed
- talk show, she is getting calls from numerous producers/networks, she said
- 'it' is catching on and getting big.
-
- Howe/Crop Circles:
- -+----------------
- She showed a good crop circle video, (with goofy chanting music that sounded
- exactly like the music from The Omen...).
-
- She said the Mandelbrot crop circle, and several other of the complicated
- patterns in England, were burned by the farmers within several days of being
- made.
-
- She was in England, with the National Geographic crew, when the Barbury
- Castle formation was made. (This is a _very_ large and complex geometric
- patttern.) They were in that field at 10pm the night prior and no formation
- was present, at 6am the following morning the entire formation was there.
- Apparently the National Geographic crew was _quite_ impressed and she said
- their show will most likely reflect this and be even-handed.
-
- She mentioned the "crystaline change", but did not follow-up on this item.
-
- She said that there has been a agriglyph-type crop circle in the US, four
- weeks ago, and the _first_ people on the scene were the military. They told
- the owner they were going to destroy his field and they "schredded" his field
- then and there. She said she was unable to provide any further details at
- this time.
-
- Thanks, take care.
- John.
