Has this book made it to press yet? -Steve Nelson -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Mark.Rodeghier@paranet.FIDONET.ORG (Mark Rodeghier) Subject: Journal of UFO Studies Date: 1 Feb 91 00:58:00 GMT The 1990 volume of the Journal of UFO Studies is now available from the Center for UFO Studies. The price is $15.00, which includes shipping and handling. There are research articles on abductees, including parallels between their experiences and those who have had a near-death experience, and a theoretical article examining what is known about post-traumatic stress as it might apply to abductees. There is also a very lively forum on the theories of Michael Persinger about tectonic forces being the cause for most UFO reports (including abduction reports). And there is a comprehensive report on the history of investigation and research in Australian ufology. The address of CUFOS can be obtained from the organizations section of the board. -- Mark Rodeghier - via FidoNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Mark.Rodeghier@paranet.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: amix.commodore.com!vanth!jms Subject: Cash/Landrum on Unsolved Mysteries, 2/6/91 Date: 1 Feb 91 09:15:50 GMT From: vanth!jms@amix.commodore.com (Jim Shaffer) This Wednesday, February 6, at 8 PM EST, 'Unsolved Mysteries' (NBC) will present a report on the Cash/Landrum case. For the uninitiated, this case involves three people sighting a UFO accompanied by military helicopters. They were apparently exposed to a significant amount of nuclear radiation, as a result of which they sued the United States government. Some people have speculated that this was a top-secret US aircraft; others have said it was the US flying an alien vehicle. Regardless of what it was, it was definitely real and the tragic effects it had on the witnesses are real.

I don't think any of these has been explained to a point where thay are fact. They are just theories and have no basis for fact. So it's still should be part of the big puzzle for to throw these pieces away would might be the answer to a question that people have been looking for a long time. Shame! you have been listening to too many narrow minded scientist lately. 73's ---Jim--- -- Jim Greenen - via FidoNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Jim.Greenen@f29.n363.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jim.Greenen@f29.n363.z1.FIDONET.ORG (Jim Greenen) Subject: Increase Apocalypse feelings! Date: 30 Jan 91 19:20:02 GMT Dale, We have been getting the same message in this part of the country and from many. The one message that someone has sent me is that there will be a war like no other war before. That the sky will catch fire and there will be death though out the world. Hmmmm! Don't know what to say about all this but I think I will sharpen the shovel, just in case. 73's ---Jim---- -- Jim Greenen - via FidoNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Jim.Greenen@f29.n363.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: John.Hicks@f29.n363.z1.FIDONET.ORG (John Hicks) Subject: Gulf Breeze UFO filmed Date: 31 Jan 91 05:27:00 GMT From the Gulf Breeze Sentinel, by Bruce Morrison. ABC JOINS LOCAL UFO SKY WATCH The Los Angeles based production company, Ohlmeyer Productions, working on the ABC special, "America's Best-Kept Secrets," joined a local UFO sky watch on Friday night, January 11, 1991, and filmed the frequently-seen "red light" over Gulf Breeze. The cameraman, Ron Ladd, said, "It was a long distance away illuminating the clouds and traveling very slowly to the east. It just appeared from within the clouds and after a minute or so it disappeared. I caught it on film. It was sometimes very bright and then would fade, maybe because of the clouds." An earlier witness Jeff Lawrence said, "What we saw on November 11, 1990 looked like the UFO that Ed Walters photographed three years ago. I know what we saw." Eight local area residents were also present during the sighting along with the production company's producer, Jeff Androski, and former NASA systems specialist Robert Oechsler. Mr. Oechsler was the first to see the glow of the UFO as it appeared beneath the clouds. Mr. Oechsler is here on assignment from Washington and is an expert in remote controlled mechanics and photo analysis. He was equipped with infrared film to photograph the unidentified red object and said, "I have tried to consider all the options to this Gulf Breeze mystery. I would like to explain it away as a military aircraft, balloons, flares, temperature inversions, or hoax, but none of these options hold up under scientific study. Balloons don't travel opposite the wind, flares don't change color or hover motionless and I can assure you that what I saw and filmed over Gulf Breeze was not an airplane of helicopter. I have designed some very sophisiticated remote control systems but duplication the soundless flight and brightness of this unknown object would be next to impossible. I can only say that I don't know what it is." The ABC special will air in Februare. One segment will present information about the mysterious grass circles in Gulf Breeze Shoreline Park along with the unidentified flying red object that dozens of local residents continue to photograph. ### -- John Hicks - via FidoNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: John.Hicks@f29.n363.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: pecan.cray.com!keith Subject: Bye Date: 1 Feb 91 14:14:22 GMT From: keith@pecan.cray.com (Keith A. Fredericks) Thanks to all of the people that made my time on this mailing list enjoyable. There were some really interesting ideas presented in the last couple of years. I have wanted to have a place to have provocative worthwhile discussions about things on the fringe. Unfortunately paranet currently does not appear to me to be an effective forum for those kinds of discussions. I am going to look for better soil for my seeds. Thanks to Mike Corbin, Jim Speiser, Cyro Lord, and all the rest of the Paranet community that have made my stint enjoyable.

Unfortunately, I have not found a copy of the original NICAP report that Weitzel generated on the case. It should be in the CUFOS files now. Let me know if they have it and I will request a copy from them. I have a lot of local news clips on the case - do you want these? I will not send them in the first batch of material. Have you located Weitzel yet? I am curious as to what he is doing now.
