SUBJECT: UFO SIGHTINGS AND WHAT DO THEY MEAN ? FILE: UFO1488 --------------------------------------------------------------------- (690) Tue 14 Apr 92 12:15 By: Gary Stimpson To: All Re: Ufos. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi everybody, I'm typing out some text from an article called "U.F.O.S SIGNAL SECOND COMING?", which was printed in The Gospel Truth - 1985. I thought some of you might find this interesting: That we are living in such frantic days described in God's Word as last days, is evidenced by numerous reports of unexplained activities in the heavens and the earth. Again quoting from Weldon Levitt's well-documented book Encounters With UFOs, page 4, under the heading, "Worldwide Sightings": According to known reports UFOs are reportedly sighted around the world at the rate of six per hour. In the United States, reports about sightings rarely hit the papers. They are either considered not newsworthy or they are suppressed. Even European papers tend to carry more reports about American sightings than our papers. In any case, reported sightings occur everywhere with varying regularity. The United States, Russia, Brazil, France, and Africa have had numerous sightings; indeed, every nation seems to be included. Several years ago, Yugoslavs were reportedly `running in shock' to escape what they interpreted as an actual UFO invasion. The frequency, number, and nature of the reported incidents is fairly similar all over the world. When an especially large number of sightings is reported in a short time, the phenomenon is referred to as a UFO `flap.' In 1965 and 1967 there were large international flaps. The summer of 1972 and fall of 1973 saw our country experience a series of flaps. The later ones were much better covered in the news media, perhaps due to the preparation in progress of an NBC White Paper on the subject of UFOs. The most startling report from the October flap was the temporary abduction of two Pascagoula, Mississippi, shipyard workers who said they were taken aboard a UFO for twenty minutes and examined. UFOs seem to have become bolder recently. In the past 25 years they have been sighted over every major European and American city, as well as over military installations and nuclear sites. The Soviet Union maintains a permanent UFO inquiry section within their reputable All-Union Cosmonautics Committee. As in the United States, the USSR has experienced a constant stream of reported sightings. According to prominent Soviet scientist, Felix, Zigel, there are well-documented reports of UFOs from `every corner of the USSR.'

By profession, they are employees of a printing company and a real estate agency. But Ray Boeche and Scott Colborn, both of Lincoln, also devote untold amounts of time and money to the investigation of unexplained phenomena. The men will not say that UFOs are from another world or that they're piloted by alien beings. But, they say, many questions could be answered if the goverment would release information, they think, it holds about such phenomena. `If there are no UFOs, then why all the secrecy? We believe the public has a right to know,' Colborn said. They met recently with U.S. Senator J.J. Exon, D-Nebraska, in an attempt to convince him to push for the release of such information. Their current project is the investigation of a December 1980 incident in a forest between the Bentwaters and Woodbridge NATO bases in England. Boeche and Colborn, who have interviewed U.S. servicemen involved in investigating the alleged landing site, say they are among about six people, worldwide, studying the incident. The men said their fellow investigators in England have acquired a U.S. Air Force document, by using the Freedom of Information Act, which deals with the incident. The group also has copies of a British Ministry of Defense document and a tape recording which they say was made during an on-site Air Force investigation conducted during the days following the incident. According to the tape and the document, which they say was obtained through an information act, an unidentified craft or crafts landed in the forest, driving nearby farm animals into a frenzy, damaging surrounding trees, and leaving moderate levels of radiation. `The voices on the tape are muffled, possibly because the men from the Woodbridge base wore face masks to guard against radiation,' Boeche said. But the voices are calm at the beginning of the inspection; the first clue that something is amiss is that their radios don't work. The voices become animated, however, when the team gets readings on Geiger counters and finds strange abrasions and mysterious white streaks on the trees.

After the Geiger counters click, a man is heard saying: "It's coming this way. It is definitely coming this way. There is no doubt about it. This is weird. Get the flashlights off. This is very strange. Let's go carefully. It looks like an eye winking at you. It's still moving from side to side and when you put the starscope (a heat-sensing device) on it, it looks like it sort of has a hollow center, a dark center. It almost burns your eyes.' The men on the tape said the lights remained in the area for an hour or more, dancing around and beaming streams of light down to the ground, before disappearing. < a number of paragraphs skipped > There has been sufficient evidence of UFO phenomena and enough sightings worldwide to capture the attention of the media. The December 15, 1974 TV special, "UFOs -- Do you Believe?" was a landmark in the public reportage of UFO phenomena. The documentary gave its evidence plainly, showing a cross-section of witnesses to UFOs and offering data to the viewer noncommittally, as its title suggested. The Defense Department apparently cooperated in the effort, and the substantial UFO files stored at Maxwell Air-Force Base were shown on screen. it was stated, deadpan, that the Air Foce has recorded 12,618 individual sightings in those files! Soldiers, a policeman, a farmer, an astronaut -- surely, a fair representation of American citizenry -- took their turns describing their sightings. Earlier we quoted breifly from an article that reported on the Bentwaters-Woodbridge UFO incident. However, within the last 13 months Cable New Network (CNN) presented an hour-long TV special documentary on the subject. We were able to acquire the transcript of the CNN documentary. Here are some excerpts from "UFO: The Bentwaters Incident -- Part II": Airman Greg: I think I saw a UFO, a spaceship from someplace...not of this earth. DeCaro: Airman Greg is a former Air Force security policeman who says he was a witness to the second of the two UFO landings within days of each other outside the USAF air base in Woodbridge, England -- events documented in this official USAF report released under The Freedom of Information Act. According to the report, in the first encounter, before daybreak, three security policemen saw a luminous metallic object and followed it through the forest as it maneuvered through the trees and then disappeared... The following night, a four-man perimeter patrol near the back gate of Woodbridge saw the UFO again. Airman Greg was a member of the patrol.

And, uh, we, uh, watched them for a while and they disappeared. And the next thing we saw was, uh, the lights in the forest...in a clearing off the end of the runway. And, uh, we called Central Security Control to tell them we'd like to investigate it, and they gave us permission to go on out. As we got in there, you could see into the clearing and see a series of lights in there surrounded by a ground fog. And when we got closer, you began to feel the hair on your arms, and back of your heard, under your hat even, stand on end. Like there was a real big static charge in the air. DeCaro: Were you carrying a weapon? Airman Greg: Yes, an M-16. DeCaro: Loaded? Airman Greg: Yes, we didn't know what we were dealing with. And about that time, we decided that we'd better get the heck out of there `cause we were getting a little scared to stand around... "UFO: The Bentwaters Incident -- Part III": DeCaro: Benterwaters-Woodbridge air base complex in east England, Christmas Week, 1980. Three U.S. airmen claim an encounter with a UFO at close range. About a day later, this man, who asked not to be identified, was on perimeter patrol at Woodbridge airbase. Airman Greg: The four of us saw...the object. We didn't know what it was...we got panicky. When we got close enough to feel our hair stand on end...ran back for our vehicle... DeCaro: Later Col. Halt and his men are recorded observing other objects. His report describes a red sun-like light that threw off glowing particles and broke up into five seperate white objects. Immediately after they noticed another object in the sky, (Audio tape): It's moving out, it's moving out fast...this is unreal. DeCaro: On the Halt tape, he and others continue to observe the objects for several hours and Halt noted it in his report.

Halt would not comment offcially to CNN about the three strange incidents. In my next report...the account is told by Airman Larry Warren who, as far as we have found, is the only one who says he saw aliens emerge from a spaceship. This is Chuck DeCaro, CNN Special Assignment. "The Bentwaters Incident -- Part IV": Larry Warren: My first impression was that they were children, because my mind wouldn't accept what I was seeing. I thought they were children in snowsuits. DeCaro: Larry Warren says he's willing to risk ridicule to tell about his encounter with what he says appeared to be alien beings. Larry Warren is today a sales representative for a medical company, living and working in a typical suburban community. But a little over four years ago, as an enlisted man in the U.S. Air Force, he claims he had a most untypical experience, when he came face-to-face with something he admits he has trouble describing. Warren was assigned to security at the Bentwaters-Woodbridge Air Force Base complex in England. He says he was a witness to the second of two UFO events on succeeding days...in the woods separating the two bases. And CNN has found, except for Warren's description of alien beings, others who were there who have given strikingly similar accounts of the UFOs. Ball: What I saw was not of this world. DeCaro: There were a number of different phenomena seen: A triangular, luminous flying object with a red light on top and a series of blue lights underneath; a circular, translucent ground-hugging disc; various lights moving erratically about the night sky...one of which occasionally beamed a shaft of white light downward; and a pulsating red-orange globular light... DeCaro: Warren's description of the transformed object seems to match what three airmen reportedly saw at the same location the night before. But Warren's story takes on an even stranger twist. Warren: At that point, we saw people or whatever you want to call them, coming out. They didn't come out...there were no doors or anything on the ship. These things came out...there were three of them, and they were covered with, they had light around them. They came out. They stood there. They actually floated to make it more complicated. Beings exactly. No threatening motions were made at us by them. They didn't communicate with me at all. Our base commander was there. DeCaro: Who was that? Warren: Col. Gordon Williams... DeCaro: When CNN asked recently about the possible existence of the film of the Bentwaters' UFO, we were told the U.S. Air Force stopped investigating UFOs in 1969. < Some more text skipped > That's it, hope everybody enjoyed it.
