Summary: MUFON Ontario's article exposing the Carp hoax
Date: 2 May 94 15:53:39 GMT
Organization: The University of Manitoba


David Thacker of AUFOSG has scanned in my copy of the MUFON Ontario
Newsletter, specifically the article about the involvement and
investigations of MUFON Ontario and MUFON Quebec in the Carp story.
This is just the first part of their three-part article. But even this
part is hopefully enough to finally put this hoax to rest!


Subject: The Carp article from Mufon Ontario newsletter

Here it is, hot off the scanner:

                  The Carp case
              (The Guardian Caper)

          - The MUFON Ontario Version -

This case has had much coverage in the media. Tabloid television shows like
'Unsolved Mysteries', 'Sightings' and 'Encounters' have given it much
air-time, as have cable-TV stations all over North America.

Internationally magazines newspapers and newsletters have devoted hundreds
of pages to it and UFO conferences around the planet have intrigued many
thousands of attendees with it's seemingly startling details.

"Carp' has achieved 'One Of The Most Significant Cases In UFO History'
status. You've probably heard, seen and read about it yourself.

In this and succeeding issues we'll deal with the FACTS of the case. We'll
describe the events, as told by the media and as we've experienced them -
and we'll try not appear too judgmental.

Tom Theofanous, working with The Canadian UFO Research Network (CUFORN),
received a package from someone calling themselves 'Guardian'. It had no
return address.

"The package contained a story about a UFO crash that supposedly happened
close to Carlton Place, which is about a half-hour drive from Ottawa", Tom
said. "There was also a photocopied picture of an Alien."

"For the most part, we thought it was a joke. But, CUFORN director Harry
Tokarz decided to call Arthur Bray, a well-respected UFO author and
researcher who lives in Ottawa, and ask him if he had someone in the
Carlton area who could check out the story for us. As luck would have it,
Arthur knew a fellow who was fascinated by the field of ufology, Graham
Lightfoot."

Graham, with what was to become typical thoroughness, used the somewhat
sketchy coordinates he got from Arthur Bray to not only pinpoint the 'UFO
crash-site' near Manion Comers, but also locate a number of witnesses.

One of those witnesses, Diane Labanek. claimed that on the night of
November 4th 1989, she saw an intense. bright light pass overhead, heading
towards a swamp at the far end of the field behind and south of her home.
She said she also saw several helicopters earlier that evening using
bright lights to scan the area.

Another West Carlton resident recalled that that was the weekend when some
cattle escaped from a nearby pasture and that it took till late Sunday to
round them up.

A couple told Graham about the wife being scared by a very bright light
shone through their south-facing bathroom window. "It reached right down
our hallway!". The wife also mentioned that she vaguely remembered hearing
the sound of helicopters at the time.

Others talked of "dogs and cattle being disturbed".

Many people could think of absolutely nothing unusual happening during the
course of the weekend, including a couple who had a telescope set-up.

Graham reported those findings to Arthur Bray, along with results of his
examination of the field and swamp behind Labanek's home - there were no
signs on the ground, anywhere, of the heavy equipment that would be needed
to recover a 'crashed craft'.

His report closed with, "although I could find nothing conclusive to
support or disprove any of the witnesses claims I shall check back around
the area later this summer."

The same Guardian material had been sent to several other investigators,
researchers and UFO groups and as the story spread, both the former
Provincial Director of MUFON Ontario Clive Nadin, and the current Quebec
Director Christian Page, visited the area on separate occasions, and spoke
to the 'witnesses' They confirmed Graham Lightfoot's initial findings and
agreed with Tom 8 Harry at CUFORN that someone was "trying to put us on -a
hoax!"

Guardian re-surfaces - 1991

In the middle of October 1991 CUFORN began receiving more Guardian
'information' via the mail and all postmarked 'Ottawa'.

An envelope with some documents that mention a 'conspiracy' between the
Chinese and 'Gray Aliens that are planning to take over the world', arrived
first. Then came a Polaroid photograph of a 'UFO' flying across an
unidentified road. A while later came a black & white picture of a
gray-type 'Alien'.

The fourth delivery in the series was a package. It contained the now
infamous VHS video tape with a green label on the cassette, with a thumb
print and the word GUARDIAN printed on the label.

There were also three playing cards in the package, all with hand written
notes on them - an Ace, King and Joker.

A photo-copied map showed the 'Gray's landing area', along with notes
explaining that the flares in the video were used to help the UFO, which
can out maneuver anything on the planet, fly under the radar and know where
to land!

There were also 'Canadian Department of National Defense documents'
enclosed - which, upon later investigation, proved to be forgeries.

These 'documents', it is thought, were designed to look like the official
documents on UFOs that Canadian UFO author/researcher Stanton Friedman
acquired, via 'The Freedom of Information Act', from the United States
Government.

The video - a few minutes long - showed two different angles of what
Guardian alleges was an 'alien craft', on the ground.

First, a long shot of bright lights clumped together to the right of the
scene and what looked like four red emergency road flares or fires in
barrels on the left side of the screen.

The second scene showed the same clump of bright lights from approximately
the same distance but more to the center without any flares and the sound
of a single dog barking in the distance.

The third scene was only three frames long and was a close-up of a pair of
wipers half-way across a very Earth-bound vehicle!

CUFORN pondered what to do with all the Guardian information that arrived
in October of '91 and decided, that in view of the season - winter, that
they would hold off visiting Carlton until after the spring run-off.

Enter Oeschler

At the beginning of March '92, Bob Oeschler (pronounced Bob Ex-ler) an
American MUFON investigator - who describes himself a 'former NASA mission
specialist' - called CUFORN from his home in Maryland.

Apparently, he too had received a video and documents from Guardian,
although when comparisons of the two videos were discussed, his had an
additional scene - a somewhat closer one minute shot of the 'alien craft'.

His version also had a couple of minutes worth of the windshield, plus
several still shots of the 'Gray Aliens'.

The most important difference, however, was that his version of the tape
had no audio-track at all - "it seems it was intentionally removed', says
Tom Theofanous.

Oeschler had shown the tape to Bruce Macabbe and they agreed that what they
saw was a UFO and should be investigated further- and that's why Oeschler
called Tom at CUFORN. They agreed they would meet in Carlton, Ontario on
May 10th 1992.

Tom then called and spoke with Graham Lightfoot, for the first time, and
Graham agreed to act as guide for the May meeting.

It transpired that Graham worked for The O.F.A - The Ontario Federation of
Agriculture - and knew the Carlton area and Its farmers well.

The First Visit

On May 10th, Mother's Day, 1992 Torontonians, Tom & Lise Theofanous,
Victor Lourenco, Vaughn Killin, Drew Williamson, Harry Tokarz and Wayne St.
John met with Oeschler, his son and Graham Lightfoot at the motel the
Oeschlers were staying at in West Carlton, near Ottawa, Ontario.

They all had breakfast together as Oeschler told many, many fascinating
stories. Eventually they ended up in Oeschlers motel room to compare their
copies of the Guardian video.

"Oeschler, despite being an expert in video analysis, had a great deal of
difficulty connecting my video camera up to the TV set in his room so that
we could play back the Guardian videos. In retrospect, his combination of
technical ineptness and more story telling seemed to be a stalling tactic",
said Tom.

Eventually, the group set off in a convoy of vehicles to examine the area
depicted in Guardian's map.

They stopped at a spot off Highway 7 near Manion Corners and Graham pointed
out the direction from which the 1989 'UFO' had come when it 'crashed', and
where the Labenek's house was in relation to where the group was standing

Oeschler seemed to be stalling once more, shooting video of everything.

Finally, they set off again.

"This time Oeschler took the lead, with me following him and Graham who's
supposed to be our guide following me!" Tom says. "I thought at the time
that this was pretty odd. How did Oeschler, who supposedly had never been
to Canada let alone this area before, know his way, using side roads and
making the correct turns toward our destination?"

Earlier, Oeschler had asked the Toronto group to check for anomalies on
their compasses while they were driving, because the Guardian papers
described magnetic changes in certain parts of the area the group was
traveling in.

"So, we're driving down a small hill when Oeschler braked suddenly up ahead
of us, stopped and came back to our car to tell me that he had found an
anomaly on his two compasses, Tom recounts, "now, he had both of his laying
in the back of his pick-up on the metal floor where they were bouncing
around. His son was keeping an eye on them from the cab.

I told him that the three compasses, we were holding in the palms of our
hands, in our car didn't waver at all. But, he insisted that he'd go back
up the hill, by himself, and check again."

While the rest of the group stood around waiting for Oeschler, Drew
Williamson noticed a Stop-sign at the end of a long driveway leading to an
abandoned farmhouse with a For-Sale sign on it.

Tom continues - "I looked through my binoculars at the Stop-sign and saw
that it was propped up by rocks. There were other signs around it that read
'Do Not Enter' and 'DND Killing Fields'. The last one had pictographs of
tanks helicopters and weapons on it and appeared to be riddled with
bullet-holes.

"So, out of curiosity, we went over to the signs and looked more closely."

"We found tracks left by cars and what might have been four-wheeled
vehicles, leading into the property. We felt that perhaps the field around
the old farm house was being used for 'War Games' - or maybe even was the
location used for the Guardian video."

"Why? Because the terrain was perfect lots (200 acres) of open field. I
also noticed a dog barking up at the house at the top of the hill." said
Tom.

This would become significant later in identifying the possible location of
the Guardian video shoot.

"Eventually, we continued along Corkery Road But, when I mentioned to
Oeschler that we should be interviewing the people in the neighborhood we
were passing, who were out sitting in their front gardens or working on
their lawns, he insisted that we look for the 'crash' 'landing' sites."

Guardian's map described an area about one and a quarter miles square,
which consisted of dense, knee-high scrub, and wet, swampland.

The group headed toward it, using a path beneath high-tension power
transmission lines that cut across below the southern end of the Labenek's
property.

Most of them had great difficulty with the rough conditions and became very
tired, annoyed by biting mosquitoes and soaked by the swampy ground. They
gave about a half way into the swamp and headed back to the back to the
parking lot.

Tom picks up the story again: "Bob and his son continued to look for the
landing site as the rest of us left the swamp in a couple of different
groups. Lise, Drew, Wayne and I left first and drove off looking for a
drink of cold pop."

"When we got back to the parking lot twenty minutes later, the second group
out had left a note on our windshield saying they'd meet us at a restaurant
twenty minutes away in Carp. We left a note on the Oeschler's truck
windshield telling them where we'd be.

"The first of our group to arrive at the restaurant ordered their food and
twenty minutes later the rest of us arrived and placed our orders."

"Thirty minutes later, as Oeschler and his son were walking through the
door, I jokingly said: I bet he'll say he found the spot!"

"As he sat down, I asked him what had happened. He smiled and said he'd
found the spot."

"I asked how he'd managed to do that when we'd left him a about a mile from
his car in a dense swamp halfway to the alleged site and it was getting
dark. There simply hadn't been enough time to get there examine the 'site'
and get back out to his truck and drive to the restaurant. He just smiled,
but didn't answer."

After they finished their dinner, Drew, Victor and Vaughn decided to leave
for Toronto.

Graham suggested that the remainder should go talk to the Labeneks, and he
and Harry left ahead of Tom & Lise and the Oeschlers, since Oeschler senior
was still eating. The seven of them would meet at the comer by the
Labeneks.

"Lise, Wayne and I confronted Oeschler out in the parking lot, where the
three of us had gone to discuss the days events privately."

"I asked him what he was trying to pull here. He responded by asking
"what's wrong with trying to make a buck?", I answered that there was
nothing wrong with making money as long as we didn't compromise our
ethics."

"Oeschler came back with: "No matter what or how good the story is, 50% of
the people will believe you, 50% won't. All you have to care about is the
50% that will".

"It was at that point", recalls Tom, "that I decided to back away from the
investigation for a while to see what Oeschler would do."

They joined the others at Manions Corner by the Labeneks house - Graham had
knocked on their door but there was no one home. So, they waited, enjoying
a pleasant early summer evening, talking .

The Labeneks didn't get home till after 10 p.m., which the group felt was
late to do an interview. Graham and Oeschler would come back in the morning
and talk to them.

Tom finishes up this part of the story: "I told Graham about the
conversation that I had in the parking lot of the restaurant with Oeschler,
after he left the restaurant. Then Lise, Harry, Wayne and I left for
Toronto, shaking our heads."

End of Part One.

Added Bonus:

THE ORIGINAL GUARDIAN DOCUMENTATION

The Alleged Crash/Retrieval of the 11/89 "Alien Starfighter"

Canadian and American Security Agencies are engaged in a conspiracy of
silence, to withhold from the world the alien vessel seized in the swamps
of Corkery Road, Carp, in 1989.

UFO sightings in the Ontario region had intensified in the 1980's,
specifically, around nuclear power generating stations. On Nov. 4, 1989 at
20:00 hrs Canadian Defense Dept. radars picked up a globe shaped object
traveling at phenomenal speed over Carp, Ontario. The UFO abruptly stopped,
and dropped like a stone.

Canadian and American Security Agencies were immediately notified of the
landing. Monitoring satellites traced the movements of the aliens to a
triangular area. (see aerial map) off Almonte and Corkery Roads.

The ship had landed in deep swamp near Corkery Road. Two AH-64 Apaches and
a UH40 Blackhawk headed for the area the following night. The helicopters
carried full weapon loads. They were part of a covert American unit that
specialized in the recovery of alien craft.

Flying low over Ontario pine trees the Apache attack choppers soon spotted
a glowing, blue, 20 meter in diameter sphere. As targeting lasers
locked-on, both gunships unleashed their full weapon loads of 8 missiles
each. All 16 were exploded in proximity bursts 10 meters downwind from the
ship.

The missiles were carrying VEXXON, a deadly neuroactive gas which kills on
contact. Exposed to air the gas breaks down quickly into inert components.
Immediately after having completed their mission the gunships turned
around, and headed back across the border.

NOW the Blackhawk landed, as men exploded from its open doors. In seconds
the six man strike team had entered the UFO through a 7 meters hatchless,
oval portal. No resistance was encountered. At  the controls, 3 dead
crewman were found.

With the ship captured, the US Air Force, Pentagon, and Office of Naval
Intelligence were notified. Through the night a special team of technicians
had shut-down and disassembled the sphere. Early the next morning Nov. 6,
1989 construction equipment and trucks were brought into the swamp. The UFO
parts were transported to a secret facility in Kanata, Ontario.

As a cover story the locals were informed that a road was being built
through the swamp. No smoke screen was needed for the military activity as
Canadian forces regularly train in the Carp region. Officially nothing
unusual was reported in the area. Although someone anonymously turned in a
35mm roll of film. It was received by the National Research Council of
Canada, in Ottawa. The film contained several clear shots of an entity
holding a light. (see photo) At this time the photographer is still
unidentified.

The humanoids were packed in ice and sent to an isolation chamber at the
Univ. of Ottawa. CIA physiologists performed the autopsies.

The reptilian, fetus-headed beings, were listed as CLASS 1 NTE's. (Non
Terrestrial Entities) Like others recovered in previous operations, they
were muscular, gray-white skinned, humanoids.

The ship was partially reassembled at the underground facility in Kanata.
Unlike previous recoveries this one is pure military.

Built as a "Starfighter it is heavily armed and armored. In design no
rivets, bolts, or welds were used in fastening, yet when reconstructed
there are no seams. The UFO itself is made up of a matrixed dielectric
magnesium alloy. It is driven by pulsed electromagnetic fields generated by
a cold fusion reactor. All offensive capabilities utilize independently
targeting electronic beam weapons. In the cargo hold were found ordnance
racks containing fifty Soviet nuclear warheads. Their purpose was revealed
by advanced tactical/combat computers located in the flight deck.

Threatened by recent East-West relations, and the revolutionary movements
within itself, Red China is preparing for the final ideological war. The
aliens have agreed to defend China from the free world's combined military
and nuclear forces.

At this time China is arming the Middle East with their own nuclear
arsenals, in order that they can successfully take on Israel.

Unifying the Arabs under one Chinese command was simple, especially with
Israel's recent "iron fist" attitude toward occupied territories.

The Soviet warheads found in the UFO were destined for Syria. CIA
operatives in the Middle East have noticed huge movements of Chinese
"technicians" and "advisors". China is also supplying the Arabs with
bacteriological agents, Migs, Hind gunships, tanks, and missile launchers.

The use of "Soviet" instead of "Chinese" nukes is part of a disinformation
campaign to break up East-West relations after the annihilation of Israel.
The Warheads were hijacked from Soviet subs in the Dragon's Triangle. A
section of alien controlled Pacific once frequented by Russian subs. After
losing some 900 high yield warheads and 13 vessels, commanders were ordered
to steer clear of the area.

The most important alien-tech. find were the 2 millimeter, spheroid, brain
implants. Surgical inserted through the nasal orifice the individual can be
fully monitored and controlled. The CIA and Canadian Govt. have actively
supported mind-slave experiments for years. Currently the Univ. of Ottawa
is involved in ELF wave mind control programs. A continuation of the CIA
psychological warfare project known as MKULTRA, started at the Allen
Memorial Institute in Montreal.

Using ELF signals transmitted at the same wavelength the human brain uses,
the researchers could subliminally control the test subject. The alien
implants utilize the same principles except that the whole unit is
subminiaturized and contained in the brain. Fortunately the implants can be
detected by magnetic resolution scanning technology. All individuals
implanted by the aliens are classified as ZOMBIES.

The ZOMBIES have been programmed to help overthrow Mankind in the near
future. When China finishes with Israel it will invade Europe. At the same
time Chinese spacebased bacteriological weapons will be launched at the
Arctic. The winds will carry the diseases into Russia and North America. In
days 100's of millions will be dead. survivors will have to deal with
Chinese, aliens, and the ZOMBIES. The aliens want all out war so that human
resistance would be minimal, when they invade. They tried this same tactic
once before with Nazi Germany. Most of the scientific advances we have
today came from German science which was based on alien technology. Had
Hitler won the war, the earth would have become a concentration camp. In
order to depopulate the continents for the aliens.

Data aboard the sphere explained why the aliens are so comfortable on our
world. They preceded man on the evolutionary scale by millions of years;
created with the dinosaurs. Some 675 million years ago an interdimensional
war destroyed most of their civilization. and forced them to leave the
earth. Now they have chosen to reclaim what was once theirs.

The alien forces with their Chinese and Arab allies will attack within the
next 5 years. Waiting longer than that would make it impossible even for
the aliens to reverse the ecological damage inflicted on the Earth by Man.

To be continued...
