Great Balls of Light!

Announcing Greg Long's appearance on the Discovery Channel's upcoming UFO
special starting January 5, 1997!

Greg Long will be featured in Great Balls of Light, the second part of
Discovery's
ambitious and not-soon-to-be-forgotten four-hour UFO documentary headed your
way:

January 5: Reason to Believe and Great Balls of Fire (2 hours)

January 6: Retrieval (1 hour)

January 7 - Dreamland (1 hour)

Started nearly 18 months ago, Discovery's UFO special has involved hundreds of
people around the world, involving many of the world's best-known UFO
investigators, researchers, thinkers, and witnesses. This far-reaching,
multifaceted
production looks more deeply than ever before at one of the world's greatest
unsolved mysteries. Directed and produced by Martin Belderson of Four Winds
Productions, the special involved two producers to cover both "halves" of the
United States, the East and the West, and covers sightings and witnesses
from other
parts of the world. The production ranges far and wide, probing the more
well-known UFO themes, such as abductions, UFO crashes, and government
cover-ups, but also delves into an often overlooked, but intriguing aspect
of the
UFO problem -- balls of light.

Belderson, his crew, and Greg Long spent three days in Yakima, Washington,
interviewing and videotaping several witnesses to mysterious balls of light
on the
Yakima Indian Reservation, which remains one of the most fascinating areas
of the
world to explore UFOs. Greg Long was also videotaped as he interviewed a
couple who sighted a UFO in southern Oregon. The Great Balls of Light segment
ranges across theories to explain balls of light, including the
controversial Tectonic
Strain Theory of UFOs. I have not, as of this writing, previewed the
segment, but
word was that producer Belderson intended to scour the world for the best photos
and footage of the unexplained spheres of light, many of which were photographed
at Yakima. For the first time, television will open a window onto this often
ignored
side of the UFO question.
