THE UFO CHRONICLES


nam et ipsa scientia potestas est
- Knowledge is Power -

     Your most recent posting, "Army Veteran Takes Cover While V-shape Craft Passes Overhead," and the accompanying illustration is VERY close to something unexplainable I saw a few years ago. I have long been interested in UFOs and the entire alien question for most of my life, since my teen years (I am 62 now), but had never had a sighting until this one. The craft that I saw looked very much like the one in the illustration of the story, except that the windows or openings I saw were slightly more "square-ish" than rectangular as shown in your illustration.

The sighting came about this way: It was early one morning before daybreak, and at the time I worked for an engineering company that did contract work for the Dept. of Energy in Oak Ridge, TN, although I am now retired from that company. I had about a 20-minute drive to work and had travelled this particular road daily for the previous 10 years. I know the road and its environs very well, all the buildings along the way, apartments and houses, etc. But on this morning (in February of 1999, 2000, or 2001, I can't recall exactly) I approached an intersection that is somewhat rural and had to slow a bit before turning...and at that time my attention was drawn to a brightly lit object up on a hillside about half a mile from where I was. I drove a Jeep Wrangler in those days, so I had a good field of view of the object. I could see it clearly through my windshield, and it was easily as big as a WalMart store. The thing (or craft or whatever it was) had only one side facing my direction, so I could not get a sense of its true shape, but I was seeing what looked like a black or dark-gray "wall" with several square (maybe SLIGHTLY rectangular) openings, similar to your illustration. I pulled to the side of the road and at that time (6:00am) was the only car on the road, to get a good look at the object. It was sort of "resting" at treetop level on the hill, with the bottom of the craft precisely at tree-top level, and it was resting at approximately a 5-degree angle and followed the tree-tops exactly...in other words, it was not parallel to the horizon, but at a 5-degree angle off the horizon.

I stared at the object for at least two or three minutes, and thought to myself, "I'm going to try to find a road or trail up there to see what that is." I knew I could probably navigate any paths or rough roads that might lead to the top of the hill, but as soon as I reached for the gear shift another thought sort of "popped" into my head..."You need to get to work." Notice it wasn't "I need to get to work" but rather "You need to get to work." And so I just put the Jeep in gear and drove on to work that morning.

I have driven past that point many, many times since that morning, and there is absolutely nothing up on that hill...no houses, no sheds or barns, not a single structure that could have been mistaken for a UFO.

I have thought about the experience many times since then.

What was it that I saw? Why, after many years of wanting to see a UFO up close and personal did the thought appear in my mind "You need to go to work!" Where did that thought originate from? From my own mind or from somewhere else?

It is a true mystery to me, but the few illustrations of these triangular craft that I have seen suggest to me that it was one of them that for some reason was touring the East Tennessee area near Oak Ridge and Knoxville.

     What in the world continues to fly in the skies over Stephenville, Texas? Some say it’s better termed as “out of this world.”

Upon the heels of multiple sightings in the area on October 23, last Tuesday, November 18, proved just as noteworthy for local residents.

Michael Corn, 27, and former member of the United States Army assigned to a Patriot Missile Unit from 2003 to 2006, saw something for which he has no explanation.

Corn said while at home at the intersection of Hwy 377 Business and U.S. Hwy 281, friends called him outside at approximately 7:15 p.m.

As he looked toward the small town of Dublin in the southwest sky he saw what appeared to be a brightly lit hovering object.

“It looked really close to Stephenville like it was almost over the courthouse,” Corn said.

He said the lights pulsed in a right to left direction.

Corn estimated the lights might have been as large as a quarter held between the thumb and forefinger at arms length. He described the lights as an amber or orange color.

“I could see the bottom of the object from the illumination of those lights and the city lights,” Corn said. “The bottom (of the craft) looked smooth.

“There is no way you could be outside and look up in the sky and not notice this thing. It was just weird.”

Corn said he observed the object for about 15 seconds and then suddenly it disappeared without making a sound like it had never been there.

“It just vanished,” he said.

When questioned about the possibility of the craft perhaps being an experimental project of the military, he said, “I know that we couldn’t make it. I don’t believe it’s ours. I got the impression that it has technology that we are not capable of understanding.”

Corn said he is familiar with all types of aircraft because of his experience in the Army and he grew up near DFW airport.

“It was very unnerving – you can’t come up with a reasonable explanation for what it was,” Corn said.

Corn’s girlfriend, Ashley Couch, also observed the object.

“It reminded me of a carousel lying over on its side,” Couch said. “I don’t think a quarter would have covered up the lights. I think they were larger than that.”

Another observer a short distance away at the intersection of U.S. Hwy 281 and North Loop 377 said she could not explain what she had seen at the same time of 7:15 p.m. For the sake of anonymity the 20 year old will be called “Leslie.”

Leslie was traveling north on Loop 377 when her boyfriend called her attention to the vehicle just ahead that seemed to be strangely illuminated.

“He asked me if I saw those weird lights,” Leslie said. “ But, I hadn’t noticed anything.”

She said they pulled into the Shell station at the intersection to gas up for a trip to Granbury.

When they exited their vehicle, a man pulled in at the gas pumps and asked if they had seen the weird lights.

“He said he was a pilot and after my boyfriend had just asked me about lights so that got my attention,” Leslie said.

Entering back into traffic on the loop headed north is when they both saw an object.

“It was coming down at a slight angle – slowly – it had a bright big light, a steady light and a blinking light,” she said, “ for a total of three.”

“One was red and maybe that was the one that was blinking…I’m not sure,” Leslie said.

The couple was so mesmerized they slowed down to almost a stop in the road.

“It pivoted to our left side, maybe 50 yards away and 75 yards up in the air,” she said. “It looked almost like it was hovering. The lights were so bright it was hard to see the shape, but the bottom looked a silver gray color.”

Leslie said they passed the object and she looked back to see if it was going to land at the nearby local airport, Clark Field. But, she was unable to see it.

“We turned around and went back to the Shell station,” she said. They turned back around again to see if they could spot it.

“There we saw it again, but this time it was on our right moving left across in front of us,” Leslie said. “It turned again and looked like it was about to stop and went back the other way. It went back in the direction from which it had come.”

Leslie said it could not have been a plane and at first she was wondering if the object was about to land on the highway.

“It looked like if it were going to land it was going to land on the highway,” Leslie said. “The lights were so bright it was almost hard to look at it. I think it might have been blimp shaped and about the size of two school buses. It was hard to tell.”

Leslie said what she and her boyfriend witnessed was not normal.

“When I think of something unidentified I don’t think of little green men,” she said.

She said she feels the object could be something being tested by the military.

“We were a little bit frightened,” Leslie said. “Until you see something like that you don’t really understand. I’ve made fun of people for seeing stuff like that and now I saw it.”

Leslie said she’s heard others commenting on what they saw that will not come forward.

“So many people won’t tell what they’ve seen around here because they think people are going to think they’re crazy,” she said.

Area law enforcement officers said about 10 calls were received during the time of this sighting reporting a craft and/or lights. While some may have seen flares, one officer said not all of the calls were related to flares dropped in the Brownwood Military Operating Area just prior to 7 p.m.

     EDMONTON - Calls are pouring in about the sight of a bright light in the skies over the Edmonton area.

Marcel Gobeil, who lives on a farm just west of Beaumont, was sitting in his living room when he heard what he describes as a "loud boom," followed by the sight of bright colourful lights just before 5:30 p.m.

"At first I thought it was fireworks," said Gobeil. "I've never seen anything like it; it was green and blue and then turned to bright red.

"It was pretty big."

Gobeil said he also saw the object hit the ground about 10 seconds later.

"It seemed like it fell on Beaumont, but it's more likely it landed in Manitoba or Saskatchewan if it was a meteorite," he said.

Edmonton fire dispatchers, meanwhile, said they contacted both the international and municipal airports after reports of the bright lights to see if an airplane had gone down. They still have no idea what the object was.

"Everyone seems to have seen something," one dispatcher said, "but we have no call on it."

     I live in Xxxx Xxxxxxx Virginia, I am a 33 year old Army Veteran and in 9 yrs of Army service I have seen some crazy stuff, but this takes the cake!

It was on 7 Nov 08 at about 8:00PM, I just left a friends from down the road to pick up some things from my house, I looked behind my property and above the pines I noticed a light that seemed like a plane with its fog light on or something. I waited to see it pass over because it just seemed weird to me, I have never seen one shine like this, at first I thought it was a star? as it came over I got down beside my truck and hid, I only freaked out because my dog went under the porch and he is not bothered by much!! it was the shape of a triangle and had these weird lights that almost seemed like a floresant light that was kinda blue and square lights in the back. I was pretty dam scared because I kept telling myself "any moment I will hear the engines from the jet motors after it passes over" I swear it never made a sound as it passed over! I mean I could have spit on it it was so close, whats so funny is that the next day I could'nt remember details about the craft so I thought about it and went inside and drew a picture of it on my computer, My wife thinks Im crazy but I cant help what I saw! anyways thanks for hearing me out!!

     SACRAMENTO – Residents from all over the Sacramento area have been reporting bright lights in the sky.

One witness in Sacramento described the bright light as “a fireball streak across the sky from east to west,” and “a white ball with a greenish halo and tail.” Another witness in Lodi said they thought it was a space junk.

Elk Grove Resident Dave Dial believes it was meteor shower. He said it was a glowing light that shot through the sky, from east to west.

For some, the bright lights were alarming. California Highway Patrol Officer John Griffin said he received many calls of a possible aircraft down. A helicopter and police units went to check on an area near Highway 99 and Twin Cities Road, but found nothing. He says it was most likely a meteor shower, a first for him.

     SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Did you see the brief and bright show in the sky over the Central Valley on Tuesday evening?

David Kenyon, an astronomy professor at Sierra College, said the fireball seen from Rocklin to Modesto was a relatively common occurrence.

"Actually, these large events probably occur a few times a week," said Kenyon, who captured the fireball on video from his home in Rocklin. Many local residents called the KCRA 3 newsroom after spotting the light in the sky.

Kenyon said the fireball was a kind of meteor, which consisted of interstellar material that burned up as it entered the Earth's atmosphere.

He added that this particular fireball likely originated from material that measured at least a few centimeters across. Fireballs are also known as bollides.

Kenyon, who is part of the Fireball Network, regularly points a camera skyward in hope of capturing such events on video.

     There has been a disturbing story circulating on UFO UpDates and told by Billy Cox on his blog and who is a real friend of the UFO community. According to these stories, Stan Friedman was to lecture at a science museum and that invitation was challenged by a "real" scientist, Paul Cottle, (see www.flascience.org) who suggested that the study of UFOs is a "pseudoscience" and thought of Friedman, according to these reports, as a "charlatan."

Now, as many of you know, Stan and I have had our differences over the years. Simply look at the arguments about MJ-12 and you’ll understand some of it. But this really is too much, no matter what you think of Friedman, his theories, and his research.

These "scientists", and all too often the members of CSI (which used to be CSICOP before they changed their name) have long thought they needed to protect us unwashed heathens from those attempting to sell us snake oil. They have decided that we are incapable of discerning the truth for ourselves and always there to force the truth down our throats even if that truth smacks of their own dogma.

I won’t bother with a long list of things that scientists knew before the evidence finally overwhelmed them forcing them to reevaluate their positions. The history of science if loaded with things that we all just knew to be real until the radical new ideas were forced on us. I’m thinking here of germ theory, genetic mutation and the demise of the dinosaurs, just to name a few.

In this case the "scientists" who know relatively nothing about UFOs decided that they weren’t worthy of study. After all, didn’t Dr. Edward U. Condon study the flying saucers in the late 1960s and conclude that they weren’t anything to be taken seriously by science. Aren’t they "often-debunked pseudoscience?" No further study required.

Isn’t it true that there is no evidence of these alien visitations, so we can ignore the testimony of airline pilots entrusted with the lives of hundreds, of police officers who clearly don’t understand what is in the sky around them, and all sorts of professionals who have reported UFOs in the past including such scientists as Clyde Tombaugh?

Can’t we ignore the solid movies and photographs taken in the past? Haven’t reputable scientists found the pictures to be faked? Aren’t the reports corroborated by radar merely the mistakes of the air traffic controllers and others who are supposed to know the difference? Can’t we ignore the evidence collected at more than 4000 landings around the world?

Didn’t the Air Force prove that the 1947 Roswell UFO crash was nothing more than a Project Mogul balloon array... even though there were no unaccounted for launches, the balloon array would have been recognized for what it was, a balloon array, by those who found it and there is no record of a Flight No. 4 which was identified as the culprit by the skeptics. Can’t we just ignore the testimonies of those hundreds who were involved in the clean up because it doesn’t fit into our "accepted" reality?

I have nothing against any scientist who expresses an opinion, but I do have something against those who express uninformed opinions. Just because someone can append letters after his or her name, doesn’t mean that his or her opinion about everything is valid, especially when they have made no attempt to check the current literature. (For those interested, when I was working on my Ph. D., and when I became bored with psychology after long hours, I would look up UFOs in the scientific literature and found more than 100 articles in the psychology library, not all of them dismissing the topic as debunked.)

Years ago I had the opportunity to interview James A. van Allen, a scientist I believe everyone can respect. The topic was the idea that the Tunguska explosion of 1908 was the result of a failure in the power plant of an alien spacecraft. Van Allen knew the topic and granted me a couple of hours of his time.

Several things struck me at that interview. One, he was gracious enough to talk to me about a subject that might have been considered pseudoscience. Two, he had studied the Tunguska case because it interested him. And three, rather than rejecting what I said about it, he would ask, "What’s your source on that?"

He was of the opinion that a comet had disintegrated about five miles high and the resulting explosion, which would have been massive, was the reason that impact site resembled ground zero where atomic bombs had been tested.

We also talked briefly about UFOs on another occasion and he seemed to be willing to listen to the evidence. He wasn’t about to make a pronouncement based on what he thought to be the evidence, but rather on what the evidence showed.

He did say that if you were in the middle of Wyoming and heard the thunder of hooves, you don’t expect zebra. Which means, of course, you must eliminate the mundane before you graduate to the unusual.

With today’s keepers of the flame, those who profess to have the light while the rest of us wander in the dark unable to find our way, can we expect anything other than immediate dismissal? Without looking at a shred of evidence, they are able to tell us what is and what isn’t.

This debate, such as it was, next turned to Dr. Gregory Boebinger, the director of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee. He asked "Is the Brogan [the Mary Brogan Museum of Art and Science in Tallahassee which hosted Friedman’s presentation] planning to host future exhibits on palm reading and astrology? Surely, when a science museum hosts often-debunked pseudoscience, it is not only using ‘a variety of entertaining experiences to attract audiences to science,’ as Ms. Barber [the Executive Director of the museum] contends, but it also insidiously endorsing pseudoscience and attracting our children and the public away from science."

Nothing like reducing UFO study to that of palm reading and astrology. Nothing like calling UFO research pseudoscience without knowing a thing about it.

Let’s talk about pseudoscience. Let’s talk about th epitome of pseudoscience which is known as the Condon Report, or officially as the Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects which was conducted at the University of Colorado and funded with more than half a million taxpayer dollars thanks to the Air Force. (For a little more detail, look at The Hippler Letter published on this blog in March 2007.)

In fact, in 1967, Condon delivered a lecture to scientists in Corning, New York telling them, "It is my inclination right now to recommend that the government get out of this business. My attitude right now is that there is nothing in it. But I am not supposed to reach a conclusion for another year." So much for science.

Condon did reach the conclusion that there was no threat to national security, which was one of his missions, but he also concluded that no further study was required, even after more than thirty percent of the reports in his study were not identified. Even after one sighting was identified as a phenomenon so rare it had never been seen before or since and certainly doesn’t tell us what it was. So much for science.

These other scientists, Cottle and Boebinger for example, are certainly familiar with the Air Force study of UFOs known as Project Blue Book (yes, that is sarcasm) and although the Air Force claimed they had identified all but three or four percent of the sightings, the true number is considerably higher. The Air Force often labeled a sighting as "Insufficient for Scientific Analysis," which, of course, doesn’t explain it, but kept it out of the "Unidentified" category.

The evidence, all the evidence that science could want, is out there. Instead of looking at it, we had scientists such as Donald Menzel who called the pictures taken by Carl Hart, Jr. over Lubbock, Texas a hoax without proof or evidence of a hoax. The problem for Menzel was that if those pictures hadn’t been faked by Hart, then there was no earthly explanation for them. So much for science.

And in keeping with that tradition, Cottle and Boebinger have not bothered to respond to these questions and points. Cottle just said that his letter to the editor was his message to the local community. Boebinger has yet to respond.

     I saw the Phoenix Lights that night, and have never stepped forward to report what I saw. I just read Mike Fortson's report of the lights he saw on your web site, and was inspired to share what I saw that night, with you.

Anyway for what it is worth .... here is what I saw and remember.

I agree with Mike that the night was a spectacular night, clear dry and very pleasant.

After I finished work I would go to my wife's store and work with her until she closed at 7pm every night. After closing we must have been on our way home by 7:30pm, and we lived close so we made it home by 7:45 or so. When we come home, my wife parks her car in the front of the house, and I drive down an ally to the back of our house, I opened the gate and parked my tuck on a small driveway we had in the back yard. I closed the gate and stood in the backyard alone.

One thing I don't think anyone talks about is the comet that could be seen that night. Being a clear night the tail of Hale-bop comet looked long and wonderful. I remember thinking that maybe I'll never see such a sight so I just watched it for a while soaking it in. That alone made the night until ..... From my house the comet was northwest, at about 10 o'clock in the sky. I started to notice some lights that had been exactly to the north of me. As I hung out watching the comet, the lights kept coming closer.

After a while, I could tell it was not just 1 light, so it sparked my interest. As it kept coming closer, I could see that it was made up of about 5 lights. I watched the lights come closer and closer, it was like they are heading right towards me. When they were about a 1/4 mile away the hairs on my arms started to tingle, and I began to think this was nothing I knew anything about. No sound, no wind nothing, it was V shaped, but I could not tell if it was a solid triangle or V shaped and it seemed very low to the ground. It was moving very slow so in about a minute or so the left side light was directly over my house, and I got the feeling it was not more that a couple 100 feet off the ground, and seemed to start turning to the east toward the airport. I ran into the house to get my video camera, and tell my wife what was going on, I made it back out side in a minute or so but I could no longer find it.

I told my wife and kids but they failed to be all that interested. I watched the news at 10pm and they said nothing. The next day on the way to work some people on the radio, KTAR talked about the lights, so I knew there were others. The rest is the Phx lights story.

At the time I lived at XXth street and Xxxxxxxx street in Phoenix. The lights came from the north, right down XXth street. I lived 3 houses from XXth street and as I remember the point of the V was over XXth street or a bit to the east of it, and the light on the left was right over me to give you an idea of the size . I never did get the feeling that the size was as big as Mike Fortson reported, or that it was moving that fast, but I do agree it was low to the ground. The total time I watched the lights was 10-15 minutes.

I now regret I did not jot down more of what happened that night, oh well.

In closing, I Xxxxx Xxxxx saw the lights that night, March 1997, and what I saw was not a plane, helicopter or flares. I don't know what it was.

     As most of our readers are undoubtedly aware by now (see Billy Cox’s excellent exposé) , there has been an exercise in character assassination aimed at renowned Ufologist, Stanton Friedman; the culprit in this instance is one Paul Cottle,

Dr. Cottle is no slouch, and has an impressive resume, earning his doctorate at Yale. Currently he resides at the Experimental Nuclear Physics Faculty at FSU, where he has been for quite some time, his accolades there are abundant and impressive. All this begs the question as to why a man of science such as Cottle would resort to ad hominem attacks against a man he doesn’t know, and based on his comments, a subject he’s ignorant of.

For those not familiar with the recent events, here is a brief synopsis:

The Mary Brogan Museum of Art and Science, located in Tallahassee, Florida recently hosted the "Roswell Exhibit" The exhibit focuses on the events that took place near Roswell, N.M. in the summer of 1947 involving the crash of one or more UFOs and the post military/government cover-up.

In association with the exhibit, Stan was tasked to lecture at the Museum as well, this a sensible compliment to the show, given the fact that it was through his efforts that the story was brought to the public’s attention back in 1978, and why "Roswell" has become a household name today.

On November 4th, in a “letter to the editor” to The Tallahassee Democrat, Cottle wrote:

Brogan should give up UFO 'pseudoscience'

Florida's scientists and science educators recently completed a year's work revising the standards for teaching and learning science in the state's public schools. In the end, most of the energy spent by the standards writers, policymakers and citizens was focused on the threat of pseudoscience undermining scientific literacy in our state.

That's why it is so discouraging that the Brogan Museum of Arts and Sciences has chosen to feature an exhibit ("The Roswell Exhibit") and to host a speaker (well-known charlatan Stanton Friedman) that feature UFO pseudoscience.

The Brogan is going to alarming lengths to sell tickets to Friedman's talks. Last week, the museum sent an e-mail to a number of FSU physics professors asking them to award extra credit to students in their classes for attending Friedman's lectures and coughing up the $10 ticket price. The Brogan staff was presumably inspired to make this request by Friedman's claim that he is a nuclear physicist.

The Brogan should make a new commitment to promoting genuine science. There are too many scientists and educators working hard to improve the scientific environment in Tallahassee to allow the Brogan to undermine it.

That slanderous diatribe incited responses from Chucha Barber, the Brogan Museum executive director, who came to Stan’s defense, and then more malevolent innuendo ensued from Dr. Gregory Boebinger, director of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, also at FSU; he in part wrote:

When Professor Cottle expresses concern about "pseudoscience undermining scientific literacy in our state," he means all pseudoscience, including UFOs, palm reading and astrology. Is the Brogan planning to host future exhibits on palm reading and astrology? Surely, when a science museum hosts often-debunked pseudoscience, it is not only using "a variety of entertaining experiences to attract audiences to science" as Ms. Barber contends, but also insidiously endorsing pseudoscience and attracting our children and the public away from science.

Clearly both Cottle and Boebinger are ignorant to the elements of Ufology; however, at least the latter, although he employed innuendo a propos Ufology, he didn’t slander Stan by name; some might argue the difference given the association.

Knowing Stan, as I do, as well as being a proponent of Ufology, and the scientific investigation thereof, to say I was offended by the remarks of these two men would be a great understatement. Feeling compelled to “chime in,” I wrote the following to both the Tallahassee Democrat, as well as the Florida Citizens for Science web-site:

Stanton Friedman is credentialed both academically, and by his tenure as a nuclear physicist. The latter involved “classified programs” which necessitated a “Q clearance.” The DOE’s “Q Clearance” is equivalent to the DoD’s “Top Secret Clearance (TS)”; his achievements have been such that he has been called on by The Untied Nations, as well as Congress . . . hardly the accolades of a charlatan!

Equally important is the fact he his a man of impeccable character, ethics, and principals—a true gentlemen in every sense of the word; fortunately, for those who choose to slander him, fear not, as he need not slither down to the level of ad hominem attacks.

One other attribute Stan possesses is “courage!” He crossed a line long ago that most “academics and or mainstream scientists” won’t dare! He became cognizant of a “global phenomenon” decades past and took action! He did what science prescribes, setting aside “cognitive bias” as well as selfishness, then began to research and investigate. He is a Copernicus of his time, defying the status quo, and staying true to science.

I might add for those that feel that Ufology isn’t worthy of science, let me remind them that the first physicists who broached the subject (albeit by mandate) are names they might recognize e.g., Dr. Edward Teller, Dr. Norris Bradbury, Dr. Frederick, Dr. Reines, Dr. John Manley to name a few.

One final note for those who don’t know him, yet choose to malign the man; Stanton Friedman vindicates his thesis with factual data; he lays it on the table for all to see, and he invites logical inquiry; he takes on any and all challengers with plausible arguments; those who can’t step up and argue the scientific points, and can only sling mud certainly don’t conform to science or common decency for that matter.
