Hi Jerry,
It wasn't a 'bailout!' I don't mind reporting, it's just that I don't want
to have to deal with all of the flack that follows frequent UFO reports
from single individuals, do you know what I mean? I figured as long as I'm
reporting to "someone" and attempting to get my images analyzed I'm doing
the right/responsible thing.
I've gotten a few other e-mails asking me to keep folks informed if there
are any new sightings. Rather than have to start a 'list' of my own I'll
just continue posting here. However, I will only respond to serious
inquiries about the sightings, I don't want to get into speculative debates
about 'what' they are. Until I can get the video analyzed I don't know what
it is. And even though the last two occasions I recorded these things they
turned out to be 'genuine unknowns' (not conventional aircraft or balloons
as per Saino, MUFON analyst) we still can't say 'where' they're from or
'who' is piloting those things, if anyone. I can tell you that what I've
seen doesn't look or fly like anything I've ever seen in my 48 years.
(Other than 'other UFO's!) <G>
Sure I'll continue to post, it's no skin off my nose. My nuts are already
on the line because I'm "out" as an abductee, making a few sighting reports
after publicly disrobing like that is no biggie. It's just that I enjoy
'reading' about other peoples sightings, I'm just not too crazy about being
the guy making them. As I said earlier I'm really trying to do the right
thing by reporting regardless of consequences. I just wish they were flying
over _your_ house (anybody elses) and not mine! <VBG>
My wife has been with me for three of these sightings and it wreaks havoc
with her panty shield everytime. I don't mind them, in fact I get a rush
everytime I see one, but I don't like seeing my wife upset that way. It
took her time to recuperate after everyone of those events, (to regain her
composure) and she's edgy and upset (unsettled) for days afterwards. She's
not as accepting of these things as the old man is, it really rattles her
cage to see these (very distict) 'unknowns' in broad daylight like that. I
would imagine that to anyone but me and a handful of others her reaction is
completely normal.
*Important note:
The sightings that I have had, have _always_ involved the 'object' crossing
the (very busy) landing pattern over Jamaica Bay for Kennedy International.
I don't know about you, but sh*t like that gives me pause to worry about
the safety of incoming and outgoing commercial flights. They have had
problems in Mexico City with these suckers at their airport for several
years. There is one case, (as per Jaime Maussan) where a commercial
airliner 'bumped' one of these unknowns in mid-air! It's not so much
collision which is a danger as much as the effect that the unknowns have on
the aircrafts electronic systems. Close proximity to UFO's causes the
onboard computer systems to go bonkers and give false readings. ie;
airspeed, altitude etc. During takeoff or landing something like that could
be disastrous. According to testimony given by two members of the Mexico
City Airport tower personel to Jaime Maussan in 1995 the pilots are very
concerned about this 'effect.'
