RARITAN TWP. — Thanks to two generous benefactors, the UFO Encounter Group of Hunterdon County has started a lending library. One anonymous donor gave his compete library of books on alien abductions, UFO sightings, human/alien hybrids, and other similar topics.
Included are books by area researchers David Jacobs of Temple University and Budd Hopkins, now deceased, of New York.
Another gift was donated by A & E Channel (a parent company to the History Channel): DVDs of seasons 1, 2 and 3 of the History Channel TV series “Ancient Aliens.” Members will be able to check out a DVD or book and return it the following month.
The next meeting of the UFO group will be held on Friday, March 16, at 7:30 p.m. at Boxelder Basin Wellness Retreat on Johanna Farms Road in Raritan Township. Refreshments will be served, and there is a small charge to cover expenses.

CEFAA presses its challenge

Considering how 21st century media is more into images than ideas, Open Minds magazine editor Antonio Huneeus figured last weekend’s International UFO Congress offered an irresistible hook — footage. And not the usual fabricated crud and dreck that dominates YouTube. A fairly recent UFO event was reportedly documented from seven different video angles. Its authenticity was vetted by the Committee for the Study of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena (CEFAA), Chile’s multi-disciplinary, government-run UFO investigations team.

If CEFAA's calculations are accurate, a UFO filmed over Santiago in 2010 traveled at speeds that made Chilean F-16s look like Galapagos tortoises/CREDIT: aviationspectator.com

The incident occurred during military ceremonies in Santiago on Nov. 4, 2010. Look for the full accounting soon on the Open Minds website. Briefly, the UFO was zipping along so quickly it wasn’t observed in real time. The thing was detected after the fact, via slo-mo replay. Its velocity was calculated against the known speeds of F-16s during the flyover. After all other suspects — balloons, birds, etc. — were eliminated, CEFAA found itself mystified by a metallic disc traveling at lethal, bone-sloshing velocities.
“This was a world exclusive that we brought to the UFO Congress,” says Huneeus of the event at Fountain Hills, Ariz. Unveiling the footage was CEFAA’s director, former Chilean air force general Ricardo Bermudez, who reviewed three of the seven videos. But as we know, the mainstream media missed the show altogether.
Curiously, the 11/4/10 incident occurred just two months after yet another sublime UFO intrusion over Santiago, a bicentennial festivities that also involved huge crowds and military planes. As before, the 9/17/10 bogey wasn’t observed in real time; the Chilean Air Force photographer who grabbed the 12-frame, 11-second sequence discovered the curiosity after reviewing the film once ceremonies ended. This object was no less exotic than the one Bermudez attempted to introduce to America last weekend. Working with CEFAA data, the non-profit National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena decided to call it — for lack of a better explanation — a “luminous contained plasma” due to its shape-shifting properties.
But the most significant pattern here is the fearless transparency of CEFAA, which operates under the Chilean equivalent of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration. Bermudez’s power-point presentation also included recently declassified audio recordings — with English translations — of UFO-related chatter between Chilean pilots and control-tower operators, some of it dating back to the 1970s, some including near-collision scenarios.
Bermudez reiterated how the U.S. embassy in Chile ignored his request to liaison with an American government counterpart on this incipient aviation safety issue. “His own personal idea is that this should be brought to the United Nations,” Huneeus added.
With plenty of data to work with, Chile appears to have created a framework for how science and government can partner up. Next question: Is there any reason to believe the UN would find any more spine than Uncle Sam to give CEFAA a fair hearing?

Senator Barry Goldwater UFO Files Now posted

By ExoNews

Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater’s collection of 143 pages of UFO letters has now been posted. Goldwater, a USAF reserve General, who also sat as the Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee had a long standing interest in the UFO subject.

The collection of letters include many letters that talk about his attempt to get access to the “blue room” at Wright Patterson Air Force Base where he was told by his long time friend General Curtis Lemay that he couldn’t go in and Goldwater certainly couldn’t go in either.

The collection also contains letters with UFO researchers such as Ron Regehr, Dr. Steven Greer, Dr. James McDonald, Lee Graham, and Don Berliner. There is also a key letter written to Goldwater by Marie Galbraith who directed the “best Available Evidence” report that was prepared for Laurance Rockefeller in 1996.

Three documents not pulled from the collection have been added to give context to the documents in the Blue Room section of documents. One was a section of an April 25, 1988 New Yorker magazine article where Goldwater is quoted as saying that he was getting 100 calls a year from people asking him to look into the Blue Room rumor. The second two documents consist of a FOIA (and reply) made by researcher Bill Moore to WPAFB on the Blue Room. Missing (to be added shortly) is a “Blue Room Radar Scope” document that Bill Moore obtained from the Falcon that was attached to the FOIA.

Also to be added in the near future is a reply to Lee Graham from Goldwater in 1996. Many UFO related letters were filed under people names instead of the UFO files so more records will be added as researchers learn of the collection and add letters.

A second collection of Goldwater UFO related letters will also be posted shortly. These letters contain Goldwater correspondence with famous people rumored to have been involved in UFOs. These people include General Curtis LeMay who was involved in the Blue Room event, Bobby Ray Inman who was rumored to have headed up the UFO back-engineering efforts for the US government (and who Goldwater promised to set up a meeting in 1994 for Dr. Greer), Edward Teller, and former carter CIA Director Stansfield Turner. Although the letters are interesting none deal with the UFO subject.

Multiple UFOs near the ISS? Observation of March 1, 2012

UFO Congress Had Good Amount Of Skepticism, But More Is Needed

By: Lee Speigel

Writer; Reporter; Paranormal expert

There was a time when UFO conventions or seminars only drew the lunatic fringe audience -- those who believe benevolent extraterrestrial beings are watching over us, to make sure Mankind doesn't destroy itself through warfare and bad decisions affecting planetary climate.
At the recent 21st annual 2012 International UFO Congress near Scottsdale, Ariz., there was certainly some of that purchase-an-ET-trinket mentality.
But during my visit, I observed something else more telling: not everyone present was a UFO fanatic.
Under the well tuned guiding arm of Open Minds Production, the IUFOC was truly an international event as nearly 2000 folks from around the world attended the six-day festivities.
I've been to other UFO conventions that catered to the out-of-this-world element, but was impressed with several aspects of this event.
Skepticism was welcome here. There was arch skeptic Robert Sheaffer's daily critical observations as he wandered in and out of the main speakers and vendors rooms.
In my own presentation, I urged the audience not to believe every UFO item they hear about on the news, in magazines and, especially, online.

What surprised me the most throughout the event were the many folks who came up to me to say how skeptical they are about most flying saucer stories and sought my advice on where to get better, more critical information about it -- and these were people who were already believers to some extent and who wanted to share their own personal encounters.
While many of the topics addressed at the IUFOC -- UFOs, cattle mutilations, alien abductions, alien implants, government conspiracies, 2012 predictions and crop circles -- border on what mainstream media refers to as fringe, there were numerous moments where skepticism filled the air.
Ben Hansen's presentation of how the media interacts with technology to add to the confusion of what's real and what's hoaxed was a key moment. Hansen is one of the stars of the SyFy Channel's "Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files," and he comes at this whole UFO subject showing how technology can often get in the way of the truth.
It was refreshing to see Bryce Zabel -- former chairman of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences and CNN correspondent -- give his take on what may happen after the powers-that-be finally acknowledge that some UFOs may turn out to be ET visitors. I was very happy to share the stage with Hansen and Zabel on a panel discussing UFOs and mass media.
Whitley Strieber, author of the 1987 New York Times No. 1 non-fiction bestseller "Communion," and his wife Anne spoke about his efforts to try and understand his close encounter with "intelligent non-humans" and their catalogue of thousands of witness accounts. To this day, Strieber approaches his story with a skeptical mind set.

If total credibility was on the plate at the IUFOC -- and shouldn't it have been? -- I opted for the appearance of Chilean Air Force General (Ret.) Ricardo Bermudez, director of the Committee of Studies of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena (or CEFAA), Chile's official UFO research organization. (At right, Bermudez and I chat about his desire to bring the UFO subject to the United Nations.)
A former fighter pilot, Bermudez now leads a group of scientists and aviation experts who are trying to get to the bottom of numerous UFO reports in Chile. Some of the recordings he played of actual sightings by pilots and air traffic controllers were riveting.
Credibility is of utmost importance when dealing with a subject like UFOs.
When I repeatedly ask people, "Who do you believe?" I'm not just referring to the news media for its often fact-less reporting. I also target those who proclaim that the space brothers and sisters are here, walking among us.
Many of these true believers, who hope to buy a one-way ticket onto some Pleiades-bound spaceship, feel the need to sell books and ET jewelry, supposedly in the hope of unifying Earthlings to welcome their space brethren.

I also notice that many UFO convention visitors don't want to be in the same room with skeptics.
Isn't it time for the UFO community to begin to modify its view on this? Skepticism should be embraced rather than shunned or hated. Those who think that some UFOs are visitors from other worlds or dimensions need to work a little harder to get the non-believers to bend.
Unless, of course, some convention vendors of alien gifts are only in it for the money.
If more skeptics were welcomed at UFO conferences, it might elevate these events to higher newsworthy positions on television news programs.
What I would ask of the skeptics is to think twice before debunking or ridiculing UFO eyewitnesses to the point of where lives may be ruined because people dare to speak out and report UFO encounters.
At the IUFOC, I was completely overwhelmed and more than humbled when honored with the Researcher of the Year award. (I'm with Open Minds producer Jason McClellan below.)
Of course, it wouldn't have been possible without the support of the Huffington Post Media Group, who trust me to bring some needed credibility to the whole UFO issue.

A Lifetime Achievement award was given to Colin Andrews, the man who coined the term "crop circle" in the mid-1980s.
The IUFOC also included a film festival awards ceremony and the first Spanish UFO panel, which drew about 300 people.
Local network news affiliates covered the IUFOC, and it would be great if future conventions could attract more media outlets. Because there's often newsworthy information that can come out of such an event, it would be a shame to miss it because of any fringe elements that might discourage such coverage.
Some personal standouts at the convention included Clifford Clift, the departing director of the Mutual UFO Network; filmmaker Christopher Garetano, whose well-crafted "Montauk Chronicles" was a finalist at the film festival; Antonio Huneeus, who spoke on the best UFO cases from ancient times to 2012; and catching up with Paola Harris, who's prepping for her upcoming Women's UFO Symposium in Texas.
The excellent master of ceremonies for the event, Alejandro Rojas, used the right amount of authority and wit to keep the presentations moving along. And the entire Open Minds organization is to be commended for an amazing job behind the scenes.
I would be remiss if I didn't thank John, Angela, Maureen, Tom, Jason, Heather, Michael, Dakota, and of course, Lorraine.

AZ law enforcement agency investigates UFOs (Video)

By: Jason McClellan

Mar 01, 2012

UFO sightings routinely result in torrents of phone calls to newsrooms and police stations. And while some police stations find UFO reports to be an unwanted nuisance, a law enforcement agency in Arizona welcomes reports of UFOs and other paranormal phenomena.
Ten years ago, according to KPHO, the CBS affiliate in Phoenix, “officials on the Navajo Reservation decided to stop the snickering, to treat these witnesses with respect and thoroughly investigate.” This agency, known as the Navajo Nation Rangers, is a federal law enforcement resource, according to retired Lieutenant John Dover, and the management of national parks, fish and wildlife services, and archaeological sites are a few of the agency’s responsibilities.
Dover’s investigations have revealed a “wealth of information,” and KPHO reports that the Rangers recently shared with them photos and documents from dozens of paranormal investigations. Here is the station’s description of one of the UFO cases contained in these files:

In one of the most solid cases, a mother and daughter describe a mass of lights floating over uninhabited reservation land in January 2012. As they watched, the lights blinked out after a few seconds, followed by a sonic boom, a black domed craft and the entire town of Chinle losing power.
Their drawings are strikingly vivid – blue, orange and white colors stand out against a dark landscape.

Dover told KPHO, “Maybe we don’t believe it . . . Maybe we don’t hold every belief that you do, but we’re going to investigate it rather meticulously and professionally. We’ll report it and let the chips fall where they will.” It is this willingness to take reports of paranormal activity, and the promise to be thorough and discreet during the investigation process, that make witnesses feel comfortable dealing with these officers.
Dover will reportedly be a special guest at the Harkins Shea 14 Theatre in Scottsdale, AZ on March 11 for the screening of the documentary The Phoenix Lights. The event marks the 15th anniversary of the famous mass UFO sighting that took place in Arizona in 1997.
