I thought the following article would be of interest: FLYING SAUCER OVER FREEPORT REPORTED A flying saucer was reported seen in Freeport early last Sunday morning. The sighting was coincident with the repeated sightings in Michigan witnessed by several dozen people. At 11:00 PM last Saturday, Paul Leonard, a radioman third class aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Legare, reported there was a power failure in at least part of Freeport (Texas), which affected the Coast Guard station and the Legare. On occasion, flying saucers have been reported to have stalled automobiles temporarily, presumably by affecting in some way their electrical systems. Two hours later, at 1:25 AM Sunday, Leonard was standing watch and his attention was attracted by the lights in two homes nearby blinking on and off rapidly, the report said. Leonard took out his binocculars to get a better look and spotted a very large and oval shaped unidentified flying object overhead. Leonard claimed, "I could make it out very clearly. It had its windows open and I ccould see inside of it, but it was hazy inside and I thought I ccould see something moving around. It was an orange objecct or something fiving off an orange glow. Then it started to move up slowly. After it got about 1000 feed up, it gav off a blue gglow and then disappeared," he said. Leonard also stated that, "Shortly afterwards, two very bright objects shot up from the ground, and in a matter of seconds they were out of sight." Another unconfirmed sighting by a crew member on the Legare was said to have seen the same two objects shoot up into the sky and disappear. End of article. It's not often we see an old article on a UFO printed, so I thought you all might be interested. -- Michael Corbin - via FidoNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Michael.Corbin@p0.f428.n104.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Michael.Corbin@p0.f428.n104.z1.FIDONET.ORG (Michael Corbin) Subject: Roswell & 'a Closer Look' Date: 18 Jun 91 06:43:00 GMT > From: wmartin@stl-06sima.army.mil (Will Martin) > Date: 17 Jun 91 15:53:22 GMT > Message-ID: <12811@scicom.AlphaCDC.COM> > Newsgroups: info.paranet > The program, in my estimation, was a travesty. The part that you missed featured Faith Daniels, the moderator, questioning Kevin Randle. When he was describing the results of the investigation, she almost laughed at Randle's statement about the government having a crashed saucer and alien bodies. Randle did recover the ground, however and the rest of the program went fairly well. The problem is that any type of major media coverage (ABC, NBC, CBS, etc.) seems to be the same old thing. Faith was way out of her league on this one, and one cannot help but feel that it was made to be this way. She should stick to feminine hygiene spray and reading the news on Good Morning America, not serious UFO research.

They pray on the frailties of human kind, our need for sleep and rest. Using technology light years ahead of us and mental intellects of Intelligent Quotas to our standards would read in the hundreds, they think they have card blanch, a blank check to do whatever to whom ever they want. It is time to put a kink in their male of chain (their use of technology and our lack of use of it) and a dent in their smug armor of intellectual superiority (their planning abilities and our lack of forethought). We as a whole, We the People of the American Public depend on our government and our military to protect us from an Alien Hostile Threat. That has meant, from invasion of our country by a foreign power and that has meant people of earth who are from another country on earth who cross our borders to do us harm. But what about Aliens not from another country on earth but from another planet in another solar system many light years away or as some think are from another space time continuum that invade our space, (our placing of being at) at will? Now we may have another definition of Alien Threat, Aliens that cross our space, not our borders! Some people who have spent years in the new field of Ufology, the study of UFO's and UFO reports, speak of government cover up and that our space (place of being) our earth, country and even our homes where we live have been invaded by Aliens not of this earth. Some reports have been made by people who say that our government is well aware of not of earth Alien Abductions of our fellow citizens of our country and of people abroad. Their are some reports circulating in Ufology Files on Electronic Bulletin Board Systems that not only that our government knows that this going on, but a deal of some kind has been struck between our government and the Aliens to not interfere as long as they provide a list of who they have abducted. Their are also reports that the Aliens have not kept their word with reporting who has been abducted and that our government is really powerless to make them keep it! If there is something of this nature going on, you can trust our government not to let it out. Many of these reports of abduction state that the victim person/s taken are only taken for a short time. Sometimes only minutes or for few short hours. All memory the (EVENT) is erased from the subject victims memory to the point that they are not aware that anything out of normal ever happened to them. Some by chance of some quirk, have nagging strange nightmares that begin to trigger flash back memory recall of the terrifying (EVENT) of abduction by Aliens. Some after hypnotic regression, report that they have had many of these (EVENTS) of abduction by Aliens and others only a few or only once that they are now aware of. There are some Ufology Researchers that state that as many as 1 out every 10 of the American Public may have been abducted or will be abducted at some point of time. The only way to prove or to disprove these claims is to by scientific means install Alien Abduction Countermeasures. Now, if we are powerless to stop them, we might at least be able to install methods of apparatus to record or to indicate that the (EVENT) of Alien Abduction has occurred. We can devise scientific methods of detection of an Alien presence and incorporate into that design a method of recording that (EVENT) as to the date and time of the (EVENT). By doing so, we will at least be able to ascertain that at such and such date, time, an unusual out the ordinary, not normal (EVENT) has occurred. We can not depend on our government to take effective countermeasures against Alien Abductions. First we must prove or disprove that what we think is happening is a reality. To do that, we must conduct a scientific study. For the Aliens to physically be here to cause any physical effect we can only assume that they must obey the laws of physics as we know them. Based on that primes, we can devise methods of detection and recording (EVENTS) of abnormality and attribute them to an Alien presence because an alien or abnormal (EVENT) has occurred. To do this we can utilize existing electronic apparatus, namely, common off the self devices modified slightly to suit our purpose. These items do not have be very complexed or expensive. For one as an example, a magnetic disturbance (EVENT) indicator/recorder can be constructed using simple normally open switch doorlight switch auto alarm with the negative ground of the switching connector wire ran to a series of small diameter wire loops. Then run the positive connector of the switching wire to an equal number small bare wires suspending strong magnets with the bare wire passing up thru the small loops. Then connect the alarm relay to an electric date time alarm clock so that it switch it off when the bare wire suspending a magnet thru any one of the loops, touches a loop, will set of the alarm circuit and stop the clock. This will give you the date and time of a magnetic field disturbance. Power should be supplied of an AC to DC converter with a DC back up switch over supply. Similar ideas and concepts can be used utilizing very low frequency receivers, infrared detectors and various other detection devices that don't require and electronics engineering degree to hook up. More ideas coming in future parts of this title file Work on your own concepts of (EVENT) logging recorders.

It's clinically proven that male human beings can carry a human baby in his stomach cavity and supply all of the nutrients necessary to sustain a numan baby to it's birth. Why can't Alien Females inject Human Males with thier eggs? Also it appears to me that beings from other planets center their abductions toward White/Caucasian Females for Sexual reproduction. ( I luv blondes with nice tomatoes, but I never thought that aliens had a taste like mine). Why havn't there been abductions of females from other races of this planet Earth?

Dr. G. Terence Meaden of England has, from the data collected, observed that many, but not all circles, and therefore their parent vortices, form in the lee (downwind) of hills or escarpments. Sometimes circles appear as much as several miles downwind of the obstacles, especially when beyond upslope escarpments or massive isolated hills. Approximately 90% of circles considered to be "bonafide", are located near a region of higher elevation. If Robert has taken any photos of the circle and surroundings, I would be most interested in obtaining copies.

I don't normally send a note to everyone, but this message seems an appropriate subject. To supplement the new book on Roswell ("UFO Crash at Roswell") by Randle and Schmitt, CUFOS has produced a special report that includes original articles on the intelligence community of that era, a revised timeline of events, additional photos, and explanations of why the Roswell object cannot be a V-2 test, a Skyhook balloon, a Japanese balloon bomb, etc., etc., Also included is an article on why Gerald Anderson's testimony is extremely suspect. I can highly recommend this monograph, even if I did write the introduction, an article or two, and helped to edit it. It is available from CUFOS for $12.00, postage paid. No overseas price available yet, but I suspect it will be about $15.00, postage paid, printed matter, air. If you have any questions, feel free to send them along. Thanks.
