#2. Channeling ET and the Orb Phenomenon (By: David E. Twichell) 

One of the more elusive aspects of the UFO/abduction phenomenon is the ability to telepathically communicate with other-dimensional beings, or channeling, that is alleged by some of those involved in the abduction process.  I am presently involved in the investigation of one such �channeler�.  During our first experiment, some very interesting anomalies presented themselves.  The subject of this investigation wishes to remain anonymous.  Therefore, she will hereafter be referred to as �Martha�.

US Infantryman Relates UFO Incident in France 

In October of 1917, Francis McHouney of the 302nd Barrage Balloon squadron, US Army Air Corp, tracked and logged several dozen "spurious flying objects [that] were not Boche or one of our guys". Their unit had Remington Acoustical trackers (large horns that amplified sound waves and were used well into the second World War) and the then top secret Marconi Wireless Aerial Direction Finder (a predecessor of radar). "Me and the boys had moved up and around the asembling [sic] area for our next big attack against the Boche.

#6. Unidentified Flying Objects: Starcraft (By: Der Voron) 

American and Russian flights to the Moon: were they a hoax, or did Americans and Russians use starships for flights to the Moon?

It is very possible that both Americans and Russians never flew to the Moon, unless it would be assumed that starships were used for these flights. 

Because of two simple procedures, which, as the explanations below show, are hard to perform for a conventional rocket spacecraft:

#9. Quote of the Month 

General Kanshi Ishikawa

"Much evidence tells us UFOs have been tracked by radar; so, UFOs are real and they may come from outer space....photographs and various materials show scientifically that there are more advanced people piloting the saucers and motherships."

Ishikawa, Chief of Air Staff of Japan's Air Self-Defense Force and Commander of the 2nd Air Wing, Chitose Air Base, made this statement in 1967.

#10. Chariots of Fire (by: Colonel (Dr.) James L. Choron) 

The UFO wave of 1972-73 was the last �classical� UFO wave to sweep North America� at least the United States. It began in the fall of 1972, as a group of isolated, but seemingly consistent sightings in the Southwestern and Southeastern parts of the country, and eventually turned into a nationwide phenomenon. Now, many people will attribute these sightings to �natural� occurrences, and the U.S. Government certainly has ample �explanations� for each and every sighting, form �atmospherics� to �weather balloons� to �planetary alignments�� still� I know what I saw, and it wasn�t a weather balloon.
