It goes in between parts 1/2 and 2/2: ".... constellation Ophiuchus, from which the stars in the sun's vicinity appear to match almost exactly the pattern of the Hill sketch. The Atterberg map fits the sketch much more closely than does the Fish map, identifying twenty-five of Hill's twenty-six stars, instead of just fifteen. Atterberg did not restrict himself to just the stars favorable for life. He started out by plotting all the stars in the sun's vicinity, which makes it all the more remarkable that the majority of the stars supposedly visited by the aliens (according to this map) are quire favorable for life. Of the eleven stars supposedly...."

NAICCR also publishes an annual report on North American UGMs, and tries to be as thorough as possible so that the crop circle or UGM data will be useful for later analyses. In order to produce an accurate compilation, NAICCR solicits data on North American UGMs from any and all interested researchers. The data can be sent via e-mail, published in the Paranet Newsletter, snailmailed or sent via third-party sources. However, many UGMs are not reported to NAICCR. Some are reported to MUFON HQ, others to Michael Chorost, others to local MUFON reps, and others to private researchers who may or may not have ties to British circle groups. A complete compilation of UGM and crop circle information is not possible without co-operation from all researchers involved in the field. WE NEED THE INFORMATION SO THAT WE CAN GATHER IT TOGETHER AND SEND RESEARCHERS A REPORT ON ALL THE CASES! THIS MEANS YOU! ===================================================================== The following is the most recent NAICCR list of reported UGMs. You will note that co-operative researchers have provided NAICCR with good information about most cases. However, there are several cases which are hardly more than rumours at this point. Can anyone please post or e-mail additional or supportive information about these or any other cases? e-mail to: rutkows@ccu.umanitoba.ca snailmail to: Box 1918, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada R3C 3R2 Thx! ====================================================================== 1992 North American Crop Circles and/or UGMs Reported to NAICCR as of 24 September 1992 920426 Jonesboro, Georgia - a 'formation' of crop circles, 'exactly' like those found in 1991 in the same location, was discovered. Source: Rosemary Ellen Guiley; Vance Tiede 9204?? , New Hampshire - UGMs were found following a small local flap of UFO reports. Source: Rosemary Ellen Guiley; Vance Tiede 920506 near Edmonton, Alberta - a 'space cookie' UGM was discovered in a meadow. It is a perfect circle, 6 metres in diameter. Its depth varies from 5 cm to 31 cm. Grass is growing straight up both inside and outside the circle. No tracks were found leading to the area. The UGM is not a sinkhole. Source: Gordon Kijek 920525 Limerick, Pennsylvania - at least 12 'matted down' areas were found in a wheatfield north of Philadelphia. Three were circles about five feet in diameter, arranged in a triangle. One feature was 'T-shaped'. Soil samples taken by a UFO investigator 'showed no irregularities'. Geiger counter readings were also normal. Although a hoax was suspected by the UFO investigator, the owner of the field believes that the UGMs were caused by lodging, wind and fertilizer damage, and that 'It happens every year'. Source: Steve Bernheisel on FIDONET; UFO Newsclipping Service #275 920627 Raeford, North Carolina - a circle of flattened grass was found in a hay field following a CE2 UFO sighting. A loud noise, 'like a freight train', was heard, and two witnesses ran to look out their front door. A object 'the size of a swimming pool', 'like orange windows lla around it', was in a field about 300 feet away from their house. When they went to call other witnesses, the object disappeared. Source: Patrick Kirol on FIDONET 9206?? , Massachusetts - a small area of flattened cattails was found in a marsh close to a major highway and reported as a crop circle. Source: Tom Randolph on DEC COM via INTERNET 920701 St. Adolphe, Manitoba - nine 'horseshoe-shaped' patches of flattened grass were found on either side of a brook in a Winnipeg suburb. Because of rece storms and heavy rainfall, lodging was thought to be the cause Source: Guy Westcott; NAICCR 920705 Hobbema, Alberta - two ovals of flattened barley were found in a field after unusual lights were observed descending to the ground. The largest UGM has a major axis of 47 feet. The crop is pushed away uniformly from the centers of the patches, but the centers are 'clumped', like breaking waves. Barley inside the circles is 'white', and devoid of colour. It was later suggested that the areas were due to spilled seeds and fertilizer, combined with lodging. Source: Gord Kijek 920715 St. Adolphe, Manitoba - a field beside a highway was discovered to have numerous patches of flattened crop, in irregular patterns. The formations were discovered by the same person who found case 920701. Investigation by NAICCR and interviews with the owner of the field established that the crop had been laid down by strong winds and heavy rain. The person who discovered the formations was convinced that aliens created the flattened patches. Source: NAICCR 920721 Friedensruh, Manitoba - a farmer found a triangular area of flattened/swirled grass which was surrounded by an electric fence. The dimensions were 31x27x17 feet. Local residents could not explain the phenomenon. However, NAICCR investigators found evidence that animals had trampled the site. Source: NAICCR 920799 Pilot Peak, California - according to the Phoenix Project, a number of 'landing zones' were discovered near the site of an alleged underground alien base. Visits to the site by independent invesyigators have found only patches of grass trampled by deer and other animals. Two 'landing zones' were claimed. Source: John Pickens on INTERNET via Paranet 920799 Miniota, Manitoba - it was reported that a crop circle was discovered in a field of oats. The circle is perfectly round and 32 feet in diameter. The oats are flattened and swirled in a clockwise fashion. The center of the circle is devoid of vegetation. Source: NAICCR 920801 Strathclair, Manitoba - a circle of flattened wheat was discovered in a field southwest of Strathclair. It was 28 feet in diameter. The wheat was flattened and swirled in a counterclockwise fashion. Source: NAICCR 920808 Strathclair, Manitoba - a flattened area of wheat in the shape of the symbol for Mars (a circle with an attached arrow pointing away from it) was discovered in a field southwest of Strathclair. The main circle was 28 feet in diameter, with no detectable eccentricity. The wheat was flattened counterclockwise. In the arrow, the wheat was flattened away from the circle. The arrow pointed on a bearing of 260 degrees. Source: NAICCR 920815 Ipswich, Manitoba - a flattened area of wheat in the shape of the symbol for Mars was discovered just east of Ipswich. The main circle was elliptical, with axes 26 and 24.5 feet. The wheat was flattened counterclockwise. The arrow pointed on a bearing of 65 degrees. A large, dark object with yellow lights was seen hovering over the site the night before the formation was discovered. Source: NAICCR 920815 Strathclair, Manitoba - a flattened area of wheat was found near other crop circle UGMs. It was roughly 20 feet in diameter. Wheat was laid down in random clumps. Examination suggested the area was caused by lodging. Source: NAICCR 920815 Strathclair, Manitoba - a flattened area of wheat in the shape of the symbol for Mars was discovered west of Strathclair. The main circle was 24 feet in diameter. The wheat was flattened in a counterclockwise fashion. The arrow pointed on a bearing of 120 degrees. Source: NAICCR 920817 Brandon, Manitoba - a television station received an anonymous call that a crop circle had been found on the property of the Brandon airport. Source: CKX-TV 920825 Guy, Alberta - fifteen circular marks were found in a field near Peace River, Alberta. Reported originally to Chad Deetken. Investigated by Gord Kijek of AUFOSG. Source: Gord Kijek, AUFOSG 9208?? Champagne, Illinois - crop formations were alleged. Source: Rosemary Ellen Guiley, NACCCS 920??? , Iowa - a number of 'ice circles' were reported discovered. Investigated by Davina Riska. Reported to Rosemary Ellen Guiley. Source: Rosemary Ellen Guiley, NACCCS 920??? Troy, Illinois - circles were reported found in cattails. Discovered by Peter (Darren?) Bistrom (?). Reported to MUFON (?). Investigated at least two months after their discovery by George Wingfield. Also investigated by NACCCS. Source: Rosemary Ellen Guiley, NACCCS 9209??

DC> DC> Excuse my ignorance, but what's this "super radiance" This concept first arose several years ago when his Royal Highness, The Maharishi (grin) decided he wanted to raise the "vibrational rate" of the planet...actually, I could trace it even further back to a book written by Marilyn Ferguson called "The Aquarian Conspiracy", which talked about a "corp" of "Rainbow warriors" engaging in PSI/Mind feats. Transcendental Meditation (TM) used to be very popular during the 70's along with it's similar counterparts of EST and Scientology. Quite a few people were influential in those areas and then later moved on into higher Govt service. I remember when I was living in Los Angeles during 1975, that a well known Scientologist, Ingo Swann was very active along the then-developing tech of remote viewing. It was alledged that he was involved with training individuals in Govt agencies. As for the "radiance concept"..I believe that is pure TM at it's "best". I look at this as sort of an amalgamation of the 70's style of TM and the "let's develop 7000 clears/OT's" of the Scientologists. In retrospect, it smacks of Tavistockian influence of SRI and other funky New Age-ish wierdness of this period. As for me, I'm all for a straight line investigation of abductees ala John Mack and David Jacobs and LESS talk about achieving "super radiance". I have mixed feelings when I read this report....on one hand it suggests a greater involvement of scientists becoming more interested in UFOlogy, but then we have this darned "super radiance" intertwined here, which in my mind, adds zero credibility. The *funny* thing is that this report being posted to the Physics newsgroup is completely a non-sequitor as far as I can tell..I like did a "huh?!" when I saw it. :-) Don -- Don Allen - via ParaNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Don.Allen@f29.n363.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Bob.Dunn@p0.f31.n1012.z9.FIDONET.ORG (Bob Dunn) Subject: Re: "alternative 3": Apri Date: 21 Sep 92 07:41:00 GMT MC>>Much of what the above book talks about has been written about in other MC>>works.

Message-ID: Newsgroups: alt.alien.visitors,alt.conspiracy,sci.skeptic sheaffer@netcom.com (Robert Sheaffer) writes: 2. Lt. Gen. Twining is lying to his commanding officer, perhaps because Gen. Schulgen doesn't have a high enough security clearance. ...Military officers typically disapprove strongly when they learn that those who report to them have been lying to them. Such moves tend to be career limiting, and are generally not considered wise. .. but it does happen. (Groves obfuscated his face off to superiors during the Manhattan Project, for instance.) You will note that Twining's letter was in response to a request for information from Schulgen (AMC was involved in a number of advanced projects at the time, for instance the "flying wing"). I thought the comment that "these objects are... the project of some high security project not known to AC/AS-2 or this command" was particularly telling (which can be taken "your people don't know, and you shouldn't ask me" -- which could be because Twining didn't know anything (though he gives impressive detail to suggest his people are up the phenomenon, for 1947), or because Twining wouldn't commit anything so sensitive to regular communications.) More likely, The Conspirators forged this letter, to throw us off the track. .. I don't agree; though I would agree it is ambiguous.

Why does extraterrestrial con- tact have value for the people of Earth? There are increasing numbers of aware, articulate people from a variety of professional and cultural back- grounds who have been contacted by extraterrestrials. Come, hear and meet an impressive group of research experts and persons who have had close encounters. R. Leo Sprinkle, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Psychology, University of Wyom- ing, Laramie, where he was director of counseling services, and founder of the Institute for UFO Contactee Studies, is an early investigator of hundreds of Close Encounter cases beginning in 1955. He served with APRO as a consultant for psychology and is the principle investigator of the John Salter case. He is the organizer of the Annual Rocky Mountain UFO Conference. James A. Harder, Ph. D., Professor Emeritus of Engineering, U.C. Berkeley, pioneered the use of hypnosis in close-encounter cases since 1962, and the study of E.T./human interactions and their influences on this planet. He will describe emerging information about the characteristics of advanced civiliza- tions and how this information could help inspire us to a more hopeful view of Earth. John Salter, Ph. D., Professor of Indian Studies Univ. of North Dakota, will lead several people with close encounter experiences in a round table discus- sion. Dr. Salter will also tell of his own continuing encounters. He was featured in the May 1991, CBS prime time special "Visitors from the Unknown" He teaches a very popular university course which accepts the reality of extraterrestrial contact. Richard F. Haines, Ph.D., Psychologist and research scientist. His interest in discovering the core nature of UFO phenomenon spans 20 years with special interest in sightings by pilots, photo analysis, and CE4. He recently founded and co-directs the Joint American- Soviet Aerial Anomaly Federation. Richard J. Boylan, Ph.D., A psychologist in private practice. He has assisted in the understanding and the integration of ET experiences into everyday life. He will speak about the "mind field" of new information developing for those with extraterrestrial close encounters and for the Society of Planet Earth. Cathy W., A California person with some very interesting close encounters, and whose events were thoroughly recorded by a well- known researcher/investigator. Her experiences were shown in a documentary on a prime-time NBC program. A special two hour question and answer period in the evening will be hosted by the participants in the above program. A special multi-media presentation of ET close encounter experiences will also be presented. Doors open at 9:15 am. Events begin at 10:00 am and end at 9:30 pm. Cost is $30.00. Free educational video with reservations received by October 6th, 1992. Seating is limited, so please reserve your seats in advance. Priority is given to those who have paid advance reservations & who have arrived by 9:45am. Tickets will be sold at the door. Please no video/tape recording. Videos and tapes will be made available to attendees at the forum. ============================================================================= Extraterrestrial Contact: The Meaning and the Message Saturday, October 10, 1992, 10:00 am to 9:30 pm Physical Sciences Lecture Hall, UC Berkeley An open forum presented by the Society for the Advancement of Civilization, a not for profit corporation formed to study extraterrestrial civilizations as they may pertain to the future of Earth and to create an environment for all those interested in extraterrestrial contact to share with others their experiences and viewpoints in an open and non-threatening atmosphere.
