My brother just returned from a trip to the Sedona area of Arizona, in which he and his fiancé, on a trip to the Grand Canyon by airplane, witnessed an object (full image and close-up below) laying on the desert floor, as I understand it, about 50 miles from Sedona. The pilot pointed it out to him. He had been flying over the same area for years and had never seen it before. He said that he had reported it to the authorities and was grilled by a variety of "agents." He had a picture he had taken of it on an earlier flight and gave a copy of it on floppy disc to my brother when they returned to the airfield. He said he had a few other shots of it and showed it to them on his PC. When I ran the floppy, however it only contained this one shot of it. As you can see it is a remarkably clear picture. The objects "door" appears open, and there are vehicle tracks coming into the area from one direction only. Judging from the vehicle tracks, I would estimate the object to be approximately 40 to 45 feet in diameter. It looked like a "soft" landing as there appears to be no visible protrusions and/or ports on the top of the craft and looks like it might even be missing some "heat shield" tiles around the circumference. Thomas G. Editor's Note: Actually, the saucer is a structure which was abandoned by its owner some time ago, and has been taken over by vagabonds, the homeless, and others who use the circular object as a temporary home or refuge. There are pictures of it, both exterior and interior at another website, and I also saw a report on this unusual "home" on a television show a few years back. I could see why one would be fascinated by the sight of this circular object sitting on the ground in a remote desert location. |

'All Rights Reserved Beagle 2'
LONDON Dec. 28 — Scientists struggled Sunday to understand why they have failed to make contact with Europe's first Mars probe, four days after the Beagle 2 craft was supposed to touch down on the Red Planet to begin its search for life.
Repeated attempts to pick up the vessel's call signal have struck out, but Beagle's creators say they still are hopeful of hearing from the lander. The next chance comes later Sunday when a NASA orbiter passes over the spot where scientists believe the probe touched down Christmas Day. But project leaders say their best hope of contacting Beagle will come when its mother ship, Mars Express, enters a low orbit on Jan. 4. "That is the communication line that has been tried and tested," said Gill Ormrod, spokeswoman for the British government's physics and astronomy research agency. "Until they have tried that several times, they will not give up." Mars Express, which carried Beagle into space and set it free more than a week ago, is currently orbiting the planet as high as 117,00 miles above its equator. On Tuesday, it will fire its engine in an attempt to shift its orbit over one of the Martian poles necessary for it to survey the entire planet with its high-resolution camera and a powerful radar that can look for underground water. Scientists hope to gradually reduce the polar orbit and say that by Jan. 4, Mars Express should pass as low as 125-155 miles above the surface, enabling it to take close-up pictures and listen for Beagle. On Tuesday, European Space Agency scientists at mission control in Darmstadt, Germany, will fire Mars Express' engine in an attempt to shift its orbit. The team at Britain's National Space Center in central England was striving Sunday to understand why it so far had failed to hear Beagle's call sign from the Martian surface. Within hours of landing, the 143-pound probe, which has a robotic arm to take soil and rock samples, was supposed to unfold its solar panels and transmit a signal confirming its arrival. But Britain's vast radio telescope at Jodrell Bank Observatory has failed three times to detect the probe in sweeps of the planet's surface. Scientists at Stanford University also have joined the hunt, using a 150-foot dish antenna to listen for transmissions from the probe. They found nothing early Sunday. Mars Odyssey also has failed to pick up a signal in three overflights. Team member Alan Wells said scientists were trying to understand what may have gone wrong. "One possible explanation that has been raised for the apparent silence is the potential for incompatibility between the systems on board Beagle and those used by Mars Odyssey," he said. Scientists also believe the probe may have landed off-course in an area where communication is difficult. They say its antenna may not be pointing in the direction of Odyssey and fear Beagle's onboard clock has suffered a glitch, resulting in the probe sending signals at the wrong times. Even if the Beagle fails to transmit its call sign, Wells said the Stanford radio telescope also could scan the surface for low levels of radiation emitted by the probe. "This might be considered comparable to looking for signs of Beagle's heartbeat, rather than listening for its bark," he said. Getting a working spacecraft to Mars has proven frustratingly difficult. Several vehicles, most recently NASA's 1999 Mars Polar Lander, have been lost on landing. The Soviet Mars-3 lander touched down safely in 1971 but failed after sending data for only 20 seconds.

By BRAM EISENTHAL Saturday, December 20, 2003 - Page F8 PORTSMOUTH, N.H -- Betty Hill sits in her living room, an inquisitive, highly engaging woman of 84. Surrounded by the mementos and clutter of a lifetime that is waning as the cancer afflicting her progresses, she is serene, even as she reflects on her role in one of the strangest events of the 1960s, one that helped spawn a mass cult phenomenon. Her petite frame initially takes one by surprise. By reputation alone, you would think that she would be more physically imposing. You could say Betty and Barney Hill's last meal -- at least, the last while they still led normal lives -- was eaten in Montreal, one of their favourite cities. The Portsmouth, N.H., couple were already fairly unusual: He was black and she was white, at the dawn of the racially explosive decade, when they were on their way back from a short vacation in Niagara Falls. But at 11 p.m. on Sept. 19, 1961, the Hills were on Route 3, south of Lancaster, N.H., when the best-documented case in UFO history began: There was a puzzling object in the sky. Mr. Hill thought that it was a satellite or star initially, but its erratic movement brought a plane to mind. They were alone on a deserted road, approaching the enormous silhouetted shape of Cannon Mountain, when the object seemed to be heading straight for them. After that night, anxiety plagued the Hills. Both experienced nightmares. Mr. Hill developed chronic ulcers. And neither could account for a disturbing sense that something otherworldly had happened, and why two full hours of their journey were unaccounted for. It was only two years later that the story emerged, under hypnosis monitored by respected Boston psychiatrist Benjamin Simon: The Hills had been stopped by a group of aliens on a side road, taken aboard their craft, experimented upon and released unharmed. Though Mr. Hill died in 1969, Betty Hill has actively discussed the incident in the media and at conventions across North America ever since. "They were under five feet tall," Mrs. Hill says of the aliens. "They look more like us, like actual people, than weirdoes. The main difference is that their eyes are huge, and they have thin noses and thin lips. The leader spoke English, rather than using telepathy, as they are often portrayed." Why, then, were the couple abducted? "They grabbed us to see if we were similar to them," Mrs. Hill says. "I can understand why they were interested in us physically. I don't hold that against them, to this day." She adds that the aliens were particularly interested in the lanky Mr. Hill's bone structure, while they performed a painful procedure on her, similar to one that would not be done on Earth for another eight years -- an amniocentesis. They were also, she reported during the psychological sessions, interested in the structure and colour of her skin. Mrs. Hill is certain that something extraordinary happened to her and her husband 42 years ago, a view Dr. Simon came to share after their sessions. His findings appeared in John G. Fuller's 1966 book The Interrupted Journey: Two Lost Hours Aboard A Flying Saucer. Their experience was also the subject of a 1975 movie of the week, The UFO Incident, starring James Earl Jones and Estelle Parsons. "The movie was quite accurate and I thought the actors did a good job portraying us," Mrs. Hill says. "The producers had a big problem with their portrayals of the aliens, though. They really do look more like us." Though it's easy to dismiss Betty and Barney Hill as crackpots or publicity hounds, sitting with the humble, keen-minded Mrs. Hill might persuade you otherwise. Stanton Friedman, the New Jersey-born nuclear physicist and UFO lecturer who has been dubbed the Father of Roswell, knows Mrs. Hill well. "First, the outstanding professional background of Dr. Simon, who kept a very tight rein on John Fuller, certainly lent legitimacy. He was a world-class expert on the use of medical regressive hypnosis to help World War II veterans make their way through traumatic experiences. No one would call him a nut," says Dr. Friedman, who now calls Fredericton his home base. Mrs. Hill came from an old New England family (the Dows, as in Dow Jones, dating back to the 17th century), was a college-educated supervisor in the New Hampshire Welfare Department, and was "respected and active in her community." Mr. Hill sat on the state governor's Civil Rights Commission. "Dr. Simon's work unlocking the memory took care of Barney's ulcer problem when medication could not," Dr. Friedman says. "They did not seek publicity, but were forced into the public arena when a Boston Herald article came out, without their knowledge. Add to that the fact there were physical marks on Betty's dress, warts on Barney's groin, and the extraordinary emotionalism of their sessions with Dr. Simon. . . . "This was definitely a pioneering case," he adds. "The publicity . . . helped other abductees to have the courage to seek help in understanding their own missing-time experiences." The Hills were also administered lie-detector tests by lawyer F. Lee Bailey, which they passed with flying colours. Mrs. Hill points out that the object that confronted them that evening was also tracked by nearby Pease Airforce Base. And then, says Dr. Friedman, there was the alien leader's star map that Mrs. Hill reproduced under posthypnotic suggestion, which portrayed Zeta Reticuli 1 and 2, years before they were charted by amateur astronomers and confirmed by the Hipparchos satellite. Were Betty and Barney Hill the victims of some sort of hysteria, or were they indeed abducted for two hours by alien visitors from another solar system? Whatever the truth is, Mrs. Hill remains convinced that we are not alone and, what's more, "that our government leaders have known about these UFO contacts for decades." Mrs. Hill's cancer was originally confined to her stomach about 15 years ago, and she has done well battling the affliction. By last month, however, it had spread to her lung. Still, she says, "I'm feeling pretty good." Asked what her alien encounter taught her, Mrs. Hill's response is striking: "They've proven to me that God is universal." No matter what you believe, that's a giant leap of faith for mankind. http://www.globeandmail.com/servlet/ArticleNews/TPStory/LAC/20031220/TAKEN20/TP>Science/ Bram Eisenthal is a Montreal freelance writer and an aficionado of science fiction and fact

On 08/19/55, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed an executive order restricting the airspace over Groom Lake, Nevada. The dry, lake bed remains restricted airspace to this day. Down through the past half century, the restricted area has grown both on the ground and in the air (over 22x20 nautical miles). Only a handful of investigators make a serious effort to find out the commonly assumed 'secret' of Groom Lake. The rest of us have seemed to accept Area 51, Dreamland, (Groom Lake and Papoose Lake) as an area where the US government tests experimental aircraft. It is comfortable for us to believe that. Wouldn't it be sadly disappointing if it WAS only a place for the Air Force to test planes? Do we want alien spacecraft to be out there? If you have lived in Las Vegas, or any of the towns nearby, for any length of time, you know several people that have worked at the Nevada test site. That is, the overall site, including the Nellis Air Force Range, and possibly one or two that worked close to or in Area 51. Do they talk about it? No, they don't. They may answer an insignificant question or two. They might even make an occasional comment that leaves you thinking, but for the most part, they seem types that will take their secrets, if any, to the grave. In the late 1980s, early 90s, copies of Bob Lazar's tape of the alien ships passed freely from person to person and office to office in Las Vegas. We stirred at his credible explanation of gravity propelled engines, but remained skeptical that the US Government would keep all of alien spaceships in one small area while they did research on them. It makes for great science fiction. It also gives Nevada some unusual sites for tourist to visit; The Extraterrestrial Highway (the official name for Nevada Highway 375), The Little A'Le'Inn of Rachel, Nevada, and The Nevada Test Site (Tours of the site where the US tested their nuclear bombs since 1951, run from Las Vegas every month). All too soon, we will have another area of international interest in our state, America's high level nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain. Now, if I were a writer of science fiction, I think that I would have to elaborate on a plot that had an underground tunnel (about 50 miles long) giving the folks at Area 51, access to the depleted, but not dead, radioactive waste so they can operate the duplicate little UFOs that we produce and maintain there. Of course! We hope that Area 51 did not move to Utah as reported by some folks. We sort of liked having it around all these years. It feels as though it should be part of southern Nevada.

In July, 1965, in Valensole, France, a farmer named Maurice Masse claimed that he saw two children standing in his field. Masse was attempting to find a solution to why his lavender crop had bare spots of ground. As Masse approached the "children," he noticed an unusual object close by. Now with a much closer view, the children were not children at all, but "strange looking beings." Masse described them as having large, bald heads, pasty faces, and huge, slanted eyes that stared out at him. He also related that they were wearing coveralls of some sort, and one of them was holding a tube-like device, standing by an odd-looking craft. Masse swore that as he approached the object, he was hit by some sort of ray, which disabled him for a time. When he awoke, he saw the object flying off into the sky. Fearing ridicule, he was reluctant at first to report his incident, but in time, he came forward with the facts. During an interview, Maurice was shown a drawing representative of an object that had landed in Socorro, New Mexico, the previous year. The object had been seen by policeman Lonnie Zamora, who later made a sketch of it. Masse remarked, "Someone else has seen my UFO." Zamora's sighting was in April 1964.

Alien Abductions Are Occurring It has come to the attention of this writer, that some folks don't believe in the Abduction Experience. I speak, of course, of Alien abductions. To wit, aliens abducting humans for purposes of (ostensibly) some sort of genetic experimentation; genetic, since the alien species seem to dwell on our reproductive organs. In the nearly 58 years I perceive I've been abducted, from the age of about two years, they've never looked at my heart, lungs or for that matter, my rear end. The latter being something laughable among those who would deride those who claim the experience.

UFOs Move Over Chile UFOs Invade Santiago SANTIAGO, December 24, 2003 - The reports of UFOs in this Chilean capital city have increased 70 % during the two weeks of this passing year. More than 30 sighting reports have been recieved during this time period. The statistics are compiled by the Grouping into Investigations Ovnilógicas AION to Terra. According to Ufologist Rodrigo Fuenzalida, the majority of these unknowns can be explained by "naturally occurring, or conventional, man-made objects. Scientists of the stature of the Dr Hynek, have determined, after decades of studies, that between 98 and 99% of all the sightings of UFOS are really observations of identifiable objects. continue here. |
Mothman Actor Alan Bates Dies British actor Sir Alan Bates, 69, died the night of December 27, 2003, at a hospital in London after a long battle with cancer. Bates played "Alexander Leek" in the 2002's The Mothman Prophecies. The character's "Leek" was a name game based on author-investigator John A. Keel's moniker. The activities and intellectualizations portrayed by Richard Gere's "John Klein" and Alan Bates' "Alexander Leek" in The Mothman Prophecies were fashioned after the real-life John A. Keel. Bates was best known for his performances on screen in films like Women In Love and The Fixer, and more recently in The Mothman Prophecies. continue here. |

On Wednesday, December 24, 2003, at 5:19 a.m., Yvette Doumbos and her husband "were travelling along the Newell Highway" 10 kilometers (6 miles) north of Moree, New South Wales, Australia "when I saw some bright lights falling from the sky," she reported, "My initial reaction was that a plane was crashing to earth. My husband and I were both yelling, 'What on earth is that!?'" "Once the lights reached ground level, they slowly rose up again (maybe 20 feet off the ground--Y.D.) They seemed to hover in and out of trees, so we knew it wasn't a plane. It seemed to descend up and down in the sky at great speeds and then vanish and re-appear somewhere else in the sky." The UFO "had three round white lights and blue flashing ones surrounding the white ones. I kept yelling at my husband to stop the car as it was moving so quickly that I wanted to get a better look. My husband refused to stop, saying, 'No way...I don't want to be kidnapped by aliens!'" "I noticed a few other cars had stopped alongside the road to get a better look at the 'thing.' I would love to know if you have any other reportings of this as I was very skeptical of UFOs but know that what I saw this morning was very, very weird." Moree, N.S.W. is about 300 kilometers (180 miles) north-northwest of Sydney. (Email Form Report)

On Thursday, December 25, 2003, at 12:45 a.m., Mrs. I.W. and her husband "were outside on our patio, having coffee," in Dunedin, a city in the Otago region of New Zealand's South Island. She reported, "It was a clear night and the stars were clear and bright also. I spotted what I thought was a satellite at low orbit and told my husband to look for it, and he saw it." "As it glided closer, we saw it was even lower than a satellite's usual height (altitude--J.T.) but higher than aircraft fly. I then decided that what we were viewing was the International Space Station. I had seen the ISS before and it was lower than satellites." "The colour of the object was very bright, white with a slightly gold tinge and 'large,' at least as large as Mars was at its brightest this summer (July 2003) and definitely larger than satellites." "We watched it coming on, and my husband reached inside to turn the light off to eliminate any light source from within the house. Then, while we were both looking up at it above our large trees, and we were preparing to walk up our pathway to watch it go over the Dunedin city area, it almost stopped! Like 'stopped gliding' and was almost stationary. Then, at a speed that was hard to believe, it accelerated upwards, going very fast and almost vertically upwards, visually from a large bright object to a pin prick light at such a speed that we watched it disappear between a star formation, and it was gone." "This was not the ISS we were viewing." "What stunned us most was the speed it went upwards at--totally unbelievable. I could not comprehend that any object could move that fast, as did my husband. We were both left speechless at what we had viewed. Stunned was not the word to describe what we felt, and we both agreed that had each of us seen it on our own, we would not believe what we had witnessed. Have no idea what it was, but we saw something that we both will never forget. I also would like to add that neither of us had been drinking." Dunedin is on the South Island's Pacific coastline, about 300 kilometers (180 miles) southwest of Christchurch. (Email Form Report)

On Thursday, November 13, 2003, Rick Barker reported, "I was traveling west on Bell, at the intersection of Bell and Litchfield Road" in Phoenix, Arizona "at around 7 p.m. I live in Surprise, Arizona (population 30,848), just north of Luke Air Force Base and I usually watch the sky for the occasional fighter jet flying a night-training mission." "At this time, I spotted two round yellow stationary objects south of the base that appeared to be approximately 3 to 5 miles (5 to 8 kilometers) distant. They were similar in appearance to the freeway lights, so I did not pay too much attention to them until I noticed that they were much higher in the sky than the street lights." "By the time I arrived home, I noticed that they had disappeared, and so I stood outside my house for a minute or two to try to see if I could identify what they might have been. At that moment, they reappeared. The unusual thing about the objects was the fact that they did not just 'turn on,' so to speak, but just seemed to expand from the darkness one at a time." "I immediately went into the house and grabbed my binoculars and my wife to verify what I was seeing. My wife observed the objects as well but did not believe that they were something unusual until they slowly imploded on themselves again in our full view. We waited another minute or two, and they reappeared in the same manner. It was unbelievable." "By this time, I was able to see them through the binoculars" and "they appeared to have a black line through their center which was not totally horizontal but tilted on a slight angle. The object also appeared to have swirling masses of light of every color, each color appearing simultaneously." "At this time, I asked my wife to get our neighbor, who is a local schoolteacher and who came out to observe the strange phenomenon and verified it, as well. We immediately jumped in my car and headed south in the direction of the two objects on (Arizona) Highway 303." "While (they were) watching, the objects disappeared and reappeared several more times, and there seemed to be a correlation between them and the commercial jet traffic passing over them, which was moving east in the direction of Sky Harbor Airport." "We finally stopped and parked along McDowell Road, south of the air force base, to watch the objects, which we now noticed were south of Interstate (Highway) I-10, which intersects Highway 303, traveling east and west to California. Along the way, we noticed several vehicles pulling off the highway, which we assumed were also watching the objects. At this distance, they were so obvious that we could not imagine anyone who couldn't notice them if they were looking south!" "The objects were quite large and bright yellow in color. After watching for another 20 minutes or so, we noticed two more identical objects appear west of the first two, one above the other. Within five minutes of the appearance of these objects, we witnessed the take-off of eight F-16 fighter jets, heading south with afterburners blasting, over our heads. It was absolutely unbelievable. Four jets broke to the east of the objects, and the other four to the west of them." "All four objects immediately disappeared when the jets approached to within a mile or two of them. You could clearly see the jets turning and crossing paths with each other by their flashing navigation lights. They circled for a couple of minutes and then disappeared somewhere south of the mountain range." "When the jets left the area, the original two objects reappeared." "At this time, our neighbor began to get a little nervous and said we should simply start heading home, which we did. We continued to watch along the way and kept them in view the entire trip back home. When we arrived home at 9 p.m.," the trio "noticed that the objects had vanished and did not return. We did note that they were slowly drifting west towards the Palo Verde nuclear plant. Of course, as seems to always happen in these events, none of us had thought to bring a camera, so we have no photographic proof of our sighting." "I"ve been reading your (UFO Roundup) sighting reports for several weeks now, hoping to confirm the event, and I was shocked to find the recent report of the sighting of a creature of some kind in a child's bedroom at around the time of our sighting." "I also noticed the recent reports of the mystery van in the Phoenix area, so we're all wondering what's going on around here."

On Saturday, December 20, 2003, at 3 a.m., Matt P. reported, "Driving west on U.S. 41 (the Tamiami Trail-- M.P.), I turned left onto Ortiz Boulevard in North Port, Florida (population 22,797), about 25 miles (40 kilometers) south of Sarasota. I noticed what looked like a bright orange flame in the sky, throwing sparks of fire around. It had what appeared to be an exhaust trail that was visible because it was high in the sky, and there was a slight breeze. It originally looked like an airplane on fire, and it was barely moving."
"I stopped on Ortiz Boulevard to try to catch a better glimpse. At the exact moment I stopped, it became very dull and broke into three different, smaller circular lights. These three lights moved about, flying in no particular formation, staying very close to one another for about two minutes and then regrouped or reconstituted to form the bright light I had seen at first. Just as quickly as I had originally seen it, it became very bright and seemed to burn out, leaving nothing but three lights in the sky to gradually disappear." The UFOs "were intense white to orange. At first, it appeared to be triangular. But after the objects broke up, the remnants were circular. They were approximately the same height as a low-flying aircraft, like a Cessna. Didn't appear to be moving at first, but after the object broke up, the remnants moved at fairly high speeds around each other in the same part of the sky." (Email Form Report)

"'It went right alongside the highway all the way from Highway 48" in Grantsburg, Wisconsin (population 1,360) "down to the Bible camp. Then it crossed over the highway in front of us and lowered down toward the field and hovered there about 50 to 100 feet (15 to 30 meters) above the ground.'" "Ted Wistrom is crystal clear about what he and Heather Berrard saw as they were traveling south on Highway 87 from Grantsburg at about 5 p.m. last Wednesday (December 17, 2003). They vow the aircraft, no more than 20 feet (6 meters) wide or long, was moving down the west side of the road at about 30 miles per hour (50 kilometers per hour--J.T.)." "The craft was not nearly large enough to carry people, says Wistrom, but he also says it was dark, so exact size was hard to tell." "Checks with officials in law enforcement and the (Wisconsin) Department of Natural Resources (DNR) uncovered nothing to explain what the couple saw." "Wistrom says he knows they weren't the only ones to see it. He says the car in front of them slowed down, too, as did the others behind them. Wistrom said he had planned to turn east on (County) Highway O, but continued south on 87 to continue watching the aircraft." "It made no sound." "He says it wasn't very high in the air. He could see what looked like propulsion units, sort of like tubes, protruding out of the bottom of the craft that were 'tilted towards the ground, like that's what was holding it up.' It made no sound, he says." "There were four rectangular lights on what appeared to be the back of the craft, he said. They spanned the entire area, with the lights immediately adjacent to each other, with each one being maybe two to two-and-a-half feet high (0.6 to 0.8 meters high--J.T.)." "While the craft was moving, the lights were all orange. When it began to hover over a field near the Bible camp, he said the center left light turned blue and the center right one turned white. The white light began to blink as it was hovering, he says, and then the craft disappeared." "Wistrom says they can't give an overall description of the craft because they only saw the underside and rear." "Wistrom says friends had been telling him of seeing strange air vehicles over the last couple of months and claim to have seen military-type vehicles at Crex Meadows before the snow came. He laughs off the remarks as 'just kooky stuff,' he says." "Now, he says, he thinks 'they're doing some kind of testing around here.'" "DNR employees at Crex Meadows say there haven't been any unusual vehicles there." "After the strange air vehicle disappeared, Wistrom says he and Berrard headed east when a low-flying plane flew by at low level. That plane, he said, had a blue- and-white light underneath and red lights on the wingtips, but nothing like the unusual larger rectangular lights on the strange air vehicle." Grantsburg is in northwestern Wisconsin about 70 miles (116 kilometers) south of Duluth, Minnesota. (See the Burnett County Sentinel for December 23, 2003, "UFOs testing in Burnett?"
