New theory rewrites evolution of chimps
Chimpanzees once walked on two legs but then returned to living in
tree, an Australian scientist has claimed.
Simon Easteal says humans and chimps evolved from a common
two-legged ancestor between 3.6m and 4m years ago.
He told New Scientist magazine: "We didn't come down from the trees
- they went up into the trees."
The theory suggests humans evolved much later than thought. It rests
on a new calculation of the rate of mutation.

Hiya Dave,
At last Saturdays meet, [weekly uk.ufo.nw IRC meetting - see foot of
e-zine] Chris Rutkowski (rutkows) volunteered to give the channel a
talk about UFO cults, Heaven's Gate in particular, as you know the
mass suicides from that cult were all the news last week. He typed
up and sent us a copy of his notes from a talk he gave some twenty
years ago, when even then Heaven's Gate was an active cult. His chat
was pretty interesting as he knew quite a lot of details about that
and several other cults. He suggested to us that maybe you could put
it into the ezine, so we have attached it.
Our thanks to Canadian astronomer and veteran ufologist Chris Rutkowski

>From Heaven Above: Saved by the Aliens by Chris Rutkowski
Of the many different cores around which a cult can form, possibly
the most curious is the phenomenon of UFOs. Fanatical UFO belief is
basically an anti-science movement. It rejects the scientific
evaluation and rational explanation for UFOs in favor of a more
mystical and religious view. It becomes cult-like when adherents
become closed to any interpretation of UFOs as conventional
phenomena. Further, fanatical UFO believers often alienate themselves
from other UFO buffs, who are interested in a search for "the truth"
but do not "know" the truth as fanatical followers claim.
There are two basic forms of such fanatical groups:
1) spiritual/religious UFO cults; and
2) obsessive UFO belief cults.
The spiritual UFO cults embrace omnipotent beings known often as the
"Space Brothers," closely akin to deities. They are always much more
advanced that humans, and their levels of advancement are such that
they almost always have apparently magical or mystical powers, often
including ESP and other psychic abilities. In some cases, they are
also more "spiritually-attuned" than us.
They are extraterrestrial in the same sense that God is "not of this
world," and come from distant planets. Each sub-cult names a
different planet of origin for their alien brothers and sisters,
including Clarion, Korendar and Zanthar. In UFO cult mythology, for
example, Clarion is said to exist "on the other side of the Sun."
Some groups select planets within our Solar system as their aliens'
homes, including Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Venus, although some have
located their aliens on or inside the Earth.
The belief-based cults usually have no spiritual relationship with the
Space Brothers, but simply believe that extraterrestrials are
visiting Earth. They reject scientists' explanations of UFOs, and
often insist that there is some sort of grand cover-up of the
knowledge that aliens are among us.
One of the early, well-known spiritual UFO cults was the Aetherius
Society, founded in Britain by George King in March 1954. One day,
King said that he heard a voice from heaven, telling him: "Prepare
yourself; you are to become the voice of Interplanetary Parliament."
Eight days later, King said a man in white robes walked through a
door into his room and delivered the aliens' message that mankind is
spiritually unwell. King was advised he was to become the
terrestrial representative of the Interplanetary Parliament, which
meets regularly on Saturn. He was told to prepare himself for his
important duties by practising yoga and leading a healthier
lifestyle.
A few months later, King was contacted again, this time by the
aliens' leader, Master Aetherius. Aetherius was from Venus, where an
advanced civilization rules the Solar system. King's body was taken
over and controlled by Aetherius, who began proselytizing as he was
the "primary terrestrial channel." His mission was, simply, to
"alert the world."
King attracted a considerable number of followers. His meetings
usually took the form of a public channelling display. King went
into a trance and began speaking as a "lesser agent," telling of
upcoming natural disasters as well as happier occasions such as
sightings and landings of flying saucers. Then, Aetherius himself
would get channelled, and inform the gathered crowd about esoteric
teachings, describing "cosmic energies" and the need for more
"positive ions" in the world.
Occasionally, another entity would get channelled, including such
individuals as Jesus Christ. Jesus explained that He had been born
on Venus and had come to Earth in a flying saucer which was disguised
as the Star of Bethlehem. Jesus is now on Mars, where He continues
His teachings. Channelled, Jesus recited from the New Testament and
led the group in prayer.
King commended that his followers needed to "charge" mountains in
order to prevent cataclysms. He would often lead groups into various
mountainous regions where they would pray in circles, thus charging
"energy batteries" which could be used by the aliens to prevent
disasters.
Another UFO cult leader was George Adamski. His mission on Earth
began on November 20th, 1952, at 12:30 p.m., near the town of Parker
in the California desert, when he and some friends saw a UFO
apparently land nearby. He instructed his friends to remain with
their car while he went to investigate.
Adamski said that he came face to face with a space being who had
human features and long, light-colored, shoulder-length hair.
(Later, such aliens were called blondes.') Communicating in sign
language, Adamski learned that the visitor was from Venus. Later, he
was told that the Space Brothers were very displeased with human
behavior and had enlisted Adamski to carry their message of peace and
goodwill to all mankind.
Adamski published three books describing his encounters with the
aliens and their messages. They each were financial successes,
allowing him to travel widely and attract a huge following. He
referred to himself as Professor George Adamski,' and claimed that he
lived and worked at Mount Palomar Observatory. In reality, he ran a
small cafeteria halfway up the mountain road leading to the
astronomical institution. He did have a small portable telescope,
through which he took several photographs of aliens and their
spaceships hovering nearby, all of which were out of focus or of
dubious heritage. One widely-published photograph, showing a closeup
of a flying saucer with portholes and ball-like objects underneath,
has been dismissed by skeptics as the top part of a vacuum clear, a
bottle washer or a chicken brooder.
Adamski's followers formed groups in many cities around the world,
including Canada. Adamski died in 1965, but his groups continued
meeting as recently as the late 1970s.
George Van Tassel founded the "College of Universal Wisdom" in 1953.
Van Tassel is best known as the organizer of the Giant Rock Flying
Saucer Convention, which was held annually for nearly two decades on
a desert airfield near Giant Rock, California.
The night of August 24, 1953, Van Tassel was sleeping with his wife
and was woke up at about 2:00 a.m. to find a man standing at the foot
of his bed. The human-appearing entity said that his name was
"Sol-ganda" and insisted that Van Tassel come with him aboard his
spaceship. Van Tassel noted that his wife was in a deep sleep which
Sol-ganda said was because of a "spell." Outside, Van Tassel saw a
bell-shaped craft that was powered by an "antigravity beam."
Van Tassel didn't receive any direct message from his alien contact,
but simply was shown things which he interpreted as directions and
information to pass on to others. For example, during one of his
later contacts, he was visually shown the true history" of the human
race, as observed by aliens. Typically, Van Tassel would go into a
trance at a meeting and channel information from Sol-ganda or other
aliens.
Van Tassel was often attacked by skeptics, and one of the most
memorable incidents was the action of a lawyer who set out to show
that Van Tassel's stories were hoaxes. He sent Van Tassel faked UFO
photos, which Van Tassel quickly adopted as true and proof of his
own experiences. However, when both the lawyer and Van Tassel
appeared together on a popular UFO-related radio talk show, the
lawyer revealed the photos as his fakes.
Despite such damaging evidence, Van Tassel remained popular and his
Giant Rock convention attracted many thousands of devotees and
contactees annually. Near the convention site, he built the
Integratron, a wooden dome-shaped temple, from plans he said were
supplied by the Space Brothers and similar to Solomon's Temple from
the Old Testament. The Integratron was designed for rejuvenation'
of the human body, through omni-beams' directed from above.
In September of 1944, Amazing Stories magazine editor Ray Palmer
received a letter from Richard Shaver. Shaver detailed how he had
learned of an "ancient alphabet" from a lost race that had once
thrived on Earth and had battled evil aliens. Palmer had his
reservations, but he published the letter and was surprised to
receive hundreds of requests for more information.
Shaver replied with a long story titled: "A Warning to Future Man,"
which Palmer edited and rewrote as "I Remember Lemuria." It was
published in March, 1945. The piece received an unprecedented
response from the magazine's readership. More than 50,000 letters
flowed in from people who praised the work but also added their own
personal experiences which supported the story.
Basically, Shaver's story relied on "racial memories" about a race of
subhuman creatures called deros (detrimental robots) living in
underground cities with the Earth. The deros had once been slaves of
an advanced civilization which had once existed on Lemuria, but had
perished during the cataclysm that destroyed Atlantis.
Deros had control of the Lemurians highly-advanced technology,
including mind-rays which they directed at humans on the surface of
the Earth, causing mental, emotional and physical problems. Other
devices caused earthquakes, volcanoes and droughts. Their sole
pastime was to annoy and persecute the human race. Occasionally, they
would kidnap humans and torture them, sometimes returning them to the
surface, but most often hiding them forever, such as the case of
Jimmy Hoffa and Judge Crater.
Ray Palmer continued to publish the Shaver stories as fact, which
eventually led to his firing from Amazing Stories, but he then began
his own science fiction pulp magazine, called first Other Worlds,
then Flying Saucers from Other Worlds and then finally Flying
Saucers. The stories continued being published until the 1970s.
MARK-AGE is a quasi-religious group that still exists today. Its basic
set of beliefs is that mankind was once part of an interplanetary
spiritual communications system, but has turned away from spiritual
matters. Because of this, the Hierarchical Board of the Solar System
"drew the veil" over our consciousness. However, some of the aliens,
being benevolent, are trying to increase our spiritual consciousness,
using mental communications with certain members of our society,
projecting their own bodies or actually making themselves seen in
their flying saucers.
Mark is the chief contact for Earth, and has been assigned to make
mankind "space-conscious" and ready to meet other life forms.
Mark-Age devotees believe that God is helping the United States space
program because it was defined as "one nation under God." The Soviet
Union was not given such help because it was in their opinion
atheistic.
A similar group is the Universal Link, which is concerned that our
spiritual understanding is not at the same level as our technology.
They view our society as plagued by injustice and strife. They also
hold that the Chinese are "breaking the power balance of the world"
and may lead us into atomic war.
Flying saucers are the "links" in the aliens' operation to Earth
which is designed to create a paradigm shift towards more spiritual
matters. The Universal Link is the Second Coming of Jesus Christ to
Earth, Jesus being an alien whose real name is Orthon.
According to the Raelians, aliens are really the "Elohim" referred
to in some biblical teachings, meaning literally, "those from the
sky." They created humans in a laboratory on their own planet and put
us on Earth. We accidentally gained intelligence through
interbreeding, and became self-conscious. The aliens left us to our
own affairs, but they occasionally send messengers to check on us,
such as Jesus, Mohammed and Budda. The latest alien messenger is
Rael, born as Claude Vorhilon, who has been to their home planet and
met all the other messengers there.
Raelians believe that all of the miracles and visitations recorded in
the Bible were performed or caused by aliens and their UFOs. They
have about 10,000 members worldwide, based in France but with
satellite groups in other countries including the USA and Canada.
Robert Barry founded the 20th Century UFO Bureau in the late 1960s.
He stressed that the public had been lied by the government about the
existence of UFOs and aliens on Earth. Basically, an anti-coverup
group, Barry also taught that UFOs were spaceships piloted by
angels, although a few are driven by Satan and his forces. The
angel-piloted UFOs assist the Israelis in their battles in the Holy
Land. In the 1970s, Barry held public meetings in a number of cities
and towns, promoting himself in "bible belt areas such as Steinbach,
Manitoba and in Pennsylvania.
Vonnetta Chouinard was born in 1935 in Oxford, Nova Scotia. When she
came out of her mother's womb, she had a caul on her face,
considered a lucky or fortunate omen. She claimed that at age 7, she
died from pneumonia, but "rose again on the third day" after sulfa
drugs were administered to her. At age 10, she walked into another
dimension and began having visions.
In 1968, space creatures took her in their craft to other planets,
and even inside the Earth. While on board during one of her journeys,
they used an x-ray device to look inside her body. They found several
tumors in her body and they operated on her with such advanced
surgical techniques that they left no scars.
Vonnetta says she was chosen by beings from the fourth dimension to
carry their message of peace and sanity to the world. She was
directed to help convince mankind to stop pollution, cease atomic
testing and repent to God. She was interested in educating children
in the aliens' message through UFO comic books and TV shows.
In 1975, a "scout craft" burned a cross into a field in Nova Scotia.
No snow stayed on the cross, which remained warn to the touch all
winter. In spring, no grass grew. A spring nearby turned reddish,
then cleared, but Vonnetta began holding religious ceremonies at the
site. She claimed that people could be healed by water from the
spring, and her "services" were attended by many devotees who were
healed of ailments such as arthritis, lameness and blindness.
However, some local residents who were skeptical of the activities
attempted to put an end to them by hiring a bulldozer to plow the
cross over. Vonnetta and her group made a public demonstration of
solidarity by laying in front of the bulldozer and stopping the
plan. But, as Vonnetta noted, the bodies of those who wanted to plow
over the cross were found soon after at the bottom of a lake, with
many bones broken. She said that this showed how bad things would
happen to those who got in the way of the plans of Space Brothers.
Vonnetta said she could sense "vibrations" emanating from the UFOs
flying overhead, and also from radiation left behind after they took
off from their landing sites.
The Society of Unarius was directed by Ruth Norman (Archangel Uriel)
for several decades until her death in the 1990s. The group owns
dozens of acres on California where each year they await the mass
landings of spaceships which will save selected spiritually-attuned
individuals. They believe that Earth needs to become the 33rd member
planet of the Interplanetary Confederation. Jesus, Mohammed and
Einstein were channelled by Norman, giving further teachings to the
Society's followers. The Society holds parades and meetings for
which members dress up in costumes representative of other planets in
the Confederation.
Finally, the Kosmon Church believes that Zoroaster (Zarathrustra)
was the first Great Teacher; he was an emissary of KOSMON, a
spiritual entity/life force. They hold that mankind is unaware of
anything off its ethereal plane, and are ignorant of the danger from
lower, evil planes which are pressing on Earth, disturbing humanity.
The Kosmon Church is warning us that the Ethereans are coming,
Discussion
We can see recurring themes present in most of these groups:
1) Mankind's spiritual awareness is missing or weak.
2) Space Brothers are trying to coax us back onto the path of
spiritual understanding.
3) There will be a Second Coming.
4) Salvation is possible.
It appears that, for the most part, UFO religious cults and groups
are all concerned with the welfare of the human race. They are trying
to spread the teachings of their "masters" in hope that mankind will
be saved from itself.
Therefore, they are basically "normal" religious groups which simply
replace God with a physical being from another planet. They reject
science's dismissal of UFO reports, and in doing so, adopt an
anti-science attitude that is impressed on their followers.
(However, the Heavens Gate cult used technology itself to spread and
interpret spiritual and mystical teachings, an interesting
combination of beliefs.)
The groups usually receive instructions directly from their masters,'
usually through channelled missives. Unfortunately, this sometimes
led to many "unauthorized" readings and messages by individual
members, since there was no control over the depth to which members
could become immersed in the particular group's ideology. This
sometimes led to their own contacts with the alien masters,
distorting the original teachings. Since individual members could
themselves become "in tune" with the aliens, they could obtain their
own ego-enhancing, spiritual high.'
But as we have seen from the Heavens Gate incident, there are
personal dangers from becoming too involved in one's faith. In 1982,
two people waited in their car for more than a month in North
Dakota. They spent the entire time in their car, waiting for a
spaceship to arrive. They were drawn by a "higher power" as they sat
in below-freezing temperatures, snowbound in their vehicle.
Eventually one of them died of a combination of hypothermia,
dehydration and starvation, which spurred the other to seek help.
(Source: Winnipeg Free Press, November 19, 1982)
Some UFO-based religious groups' concepts probably reflect anxieties
about our present society and more specifically, the possibility of
nuclear war or the general angst felt by those oppressed or otherwise
"left out." Other themes are the role of religion in a technological
society, the need for peaceful international relations and the possibility
of extraterrestrial visitation.
According to most groups, the Space Brothers come from planets free
from war, poverty and need. They also have achieved immortality
through an emphasis on spiritual matters. In short, they exist in a
idyllic paradises much removed from terrestrial problems. The Space
Brothers also have come to Earth to stop arms proliferation and to
prevent further war. Many early UFO religious cults were
anticommunist but were paradoxically socialist in their structure.
This was ironic, because both the FBI and CIA monitored the groups
because they were deemed "dangerous." often infiltrating the groups
in order to keep watch on them.
Cult members' fear of death is lessened or eliminated by the belief
that the aliens will prolong their lives or reincarnate them on
another planet. The groups often made Jesus a spaceman, but still
defined him as a true messenger who died trying to teach us truth
and love.
Since Earth was not "ready" yet, the groups had to have human leaders
to act as go-betweens. All groups shared their mission to educate
mankind in order to save us from destruction. Hence, they sought
public exposure in order to transmit their leaders' messages.
Furthermore, it should be noted that UFO cults almost always
promulgated a "Christian" philosophy of love, peace and
reconciliation. Most taught that we should be kind to one another,
respecting all life and caring for the Earth. Many had strong
environmental convictions.
Bo and Peep (or Te and Do) first formed the Christian Arts Centre in
Houston in 1972, to promote religious artistic activities. Only
three years later, the families of 20 people were panicked when they
received postcards from their children informing them that they were
"leaving this Earth" and would not see them anymore. Police
investigation uncovered the cult commune in Oregon. It was learned
that at that time, dozens of people had left their jobs, families
and even their children to follow "The Two."
That was in 1975. In 1997, we learned that the cult was still
operating, with tragic consequences. Their message was the same, and
people still were being recruited into its membership. We know that
in 1997, 39 people died. In 1975, dozens of people joined the cult,
and many were never heard from again.

uk.ufo.nw Dave says: Rob Jansen is a Brit having lived in Canada for
the past 30 years or so. His folks still live here in the UK in
Ipswich.
Rob first contacted me via e-mail in early 1996 and during that year
on a visit to the UK with his lovely wife Debbie (a Nurse) to see
his parents they spent a day with me and my family here in
Birmingham. I have to say what a very pleasant and nice couple.
Rob is a fun loving, hard working chap. We have become firm pen
friends and write regularly. I was honoured that Rob entrusted me
with his story and thank him for allowing me to print it here.
A personal story
----------------
From: Rob Jansen (Canada)
Chapter One: The Sighting.
10th September 1970
My cousin and I had gone out to a relation's house in Sooke B.C.
arriving at approx 6 p.m. we found that the house was locked so we
hung around for a while then went into the village returning at 7.30
p.m. We hung around again for about an hour. My cousin decided to
climb into a bedroom through one of the windows to get his
belongings. While he was attempting to do this I was sitting on the
hood of my 1970 Chevrolet Corvair when I heard him yell. I ran round
the house to see him and he was pointing up to the sky. I followed
his gaze to see a round object silently gliding across the sky. From
where we stood it seemed about 150 to 200 feet across and about 800
to 1500 feet up in the air.
We estimated its direction and since it was not going fast we decided
to follow it.
We chased it up into the hills taking the logging road south of the
river. We changed from the south side of the river to the north side
and followed it for about 30 minutes.
We were travelling at roughly 70 mph and about 1/4 of a mile behind
it. We watched it get lower and lower until it disappeared below the
tree line. We drove for about another mile when I suddenly put the
brakes on. My cousin asked why I had stopped and I answered "It's
landed." We of course were not sure but I felt it and no persuading
on his part would make me drive further on.
We stayed there about 15 minutes before heading back to town. We
were about half way when we ran into the local county Mounties who
would not let us proceed until we had answered all there questions.
They wanted to know where we had been and who we had met.
However a couple of weeks later I was on my way over the Malahat at
day break when myself and a trucker were buzzed by an unknown
Aircraft that had something like landing lights on it. We were both
forced off the road. Thankfully there was no damage done to either
vehicle.
Chapter Two:
September 1972
My Boss Dan and I had been hunting up at the Copper Canyon area near
Naniamo B.C. We had finished hunting having seen nothing but doe's
around and were heading home. We were driving round the edge of the
canyon slowly as it was getting misty and dark. We spotted a large
buck on the road and we stopped.
We both took careful aim at the deer when we were struck by a
blinding white light. We immediately thought it was a ranger
helicopter so we relaxed because we weren't sure whether or not to
shoot. The deer disappeared. After we could see again we left.
At a further point along the road Dan got out to open the gate and
was approached by a short man in a lumberjacks shirt, jeans and vest.
They talked for a few minutes then he approached the car and spoke to
me.
He asked if I had the same interests in 'extraterrestrial phenomena'.
I answered yes and he suggested that I meet him later that week and
discuss them. I agreed and he gave me his address.
I went to the address he gave me but not on the day he said. Actually
it was a few days later. The address was phoney. There was nothing
there but fields and tree's and more fields. It has often bothered me
what would have happened if I had met him. It was just after this I
moved out of the area to Penticton B.C.
Nothing happened for a year then one morning I was on my way to
Kelowna. Just out of Summerland where the road is high enough that
you can see the lake I spotted a 'V' shaped wave on the lake
travelling at a fair speed. However there was no object on the water.
I could see nothing that would make such a wake and could see no
object in the water. I watched it until it was obscured from view.
If it was Ogopogo he can travel at great speed. I personally think it
was something else. Something that was faster than even an underwater
craft of anything we know.
And I definitely don't think that they had atomic submarines in those
days or in that area.
Chapter Three:
Alberta 1977
Working at Lethbridge was fun but living at Turin was a long way to
travel. One night I was on my way home to Turin along the gravel
road which was quicker than the regular road. It was about 12.30 a.m.
and pitch black. All of a sudden the truck stopped.
This was just one of the many things that happened in Alberta. I was
there during the time of the cattle mutilations I saw them up close
and I can honestly say that no predator, doctor, vet or anyone can do
these operations and leave no tell tale evidence. I have seen cows
with the brain removed and the reproductive organs removed but no
signs of a struggle. No blood even in heavy snow.
This happened twice early in the morning and the animals were checked
alive and well late the previous night.
Despite the allegations that they were the work of cultists you could
never convince me of this. I believe it was the work of some things
or persons out of this world.
Late in 1979 the truck incident was repeated with almost the same
amount of time being missed.
The year earlier I had a couple of dreams. One told me how UFOs fly
and the other about their weaponry. A friend who works for a top
university science laboratory checked out the details and they work
all too well!
That is why I wont tell anymore about it. It is a frightening thing
to know that the knowledge you have in your mind could quite possibly
change the world.
It would make an excellent hunting weapon but until I know how to
control the power that can't be tampered with............. We all
know how easy weapons can be altered and used and until I can beyond
any doubt know that they can not be used against people I'd rather
die with the knowledge.
uk.ufo.nw Dave says: I have mailed Rob on occasions and asked him to
elaborate on things he has said in his text. He always tells me that
now is not the time but perhaps at some stage we can talk about it.
Rob has asked me to say that if anyone wishes to mail him they can do
so at the following e-mail address:

Yes, it's true. We got hacked. We're back.
At noon EST on March 5, hackers got into the server that houses the
main NASA Web page, www.nasa.gov, and replaced it with a page of
their own design. The replacement page, which was available for about
30 minutes, contained a diatribe against commercialization of the
Internet and protested the criminal prosecution of two hackers.
After system administrators assessed the damage (none beyond the
affected page) and did some other work to prevent a recurrence, the
server was back online at 9:30 a.m. March 6. Apologies to those who
were unable to access desired pages.

UFO group wants Congress to examine 'proof' of aliens
An American UFO research group says it will go public with its
evidence of aliens if a congressional hearing is not held into the
existence of extraterretrial spacecraft, writes Sean Hargrave.
The Centre for Study of Extra Terrsrtial Intelligence (CSETI) claims
to have 50 witnesses of UFOs, who have, or have had, high-level
security clearance positions in America's armed forces, intelligence
services and military contractors.
The Hearing would be needed becouse it would protect witnessed who
would be breaking national security oaths if they gave evidence
elswhere. Also a congressional hearing could subpoena additional
witnesses who could be imprisoned if they lied under oath.
Steven Greer, a casualtiy doctor who is the leader of CSETI,
arranged a briefing this month at which he claimed representatives
from 30 congressmen's offices were present, including several
congressmen.
Greer says 11 people told the briefing of their encounters with
UFOs. He hopes that those who attened will take CSETI's claims more
seriously and back his call for a full hearing. "We're not asking
anybody suddenly to believe in UFOs, because nine out of every 10
times, what you hear is absolute rubbish," says Greer. "We just
want them to see there is sufficient evidence to warrant a hearing
where we can present our case. That is all we are asking. We hoope
at least one of them is brave enough to back us."
Greer claims to have photographic, video and documentary evidence
that shows the military has tracked and even recovered UFO craft, as
well as their occupants.
Greer's campaign has the backing of Edgar Mitchell, a former
astronaut who in 1971 became the sixth man to walk on the moon. "The
body of evidence is just so overwhelming," says Mitchell. "The real
thing here is that the witnesses are not just everyday people who
have seen a UFO. These people have had top-security clearance within
the military and their contractors. They deserve to be able to tell
Congress what they know so we can begin to get to the bottom of this
thing."
Greer claims that among his witnesses is a man who held a senior
position in the intelligencce unit at the MacGuire airforce base in
1978 when an alien that had left his craft was allegedly shot dead
and taken to a top-secret corner of Wright Patterson air base.
There is also a high-ranking officer who was part of a team that
tracked a massive craft, which, he claims, was capable of travelling
the length of the American coast in a single sweep of radar. He
also claims to have material samples that levitate when placed in an
electric field and which a goverment expert has certified as not
being of earth origin.
Greer is not willing to reveal the identity of any of his witnesses.
He says this is to protect those who, if approached, would be forced
to break their national-security oaths.
If a congressional hearing is not forthcoming within the next few
months, though, he claims that some of his witnesses are still
willing to come forward to tell of their experiences. Greer says his
approach has been to gather a group of witnesses relating to several
events rather than concentrate on a single sighting. This he
believes will confront a hearing with a mass of evidence at the same
time as allowing witnwsses to come forward as a single group.
Despite Greer claiming those present at his briefing were "shocked"
by the evidence that was presented, no congressman has yet backed his
appeal for a full hearing.

New Videos
Hello, UFO fans!
This is UFO Abductions researcher John Carpenter writing to you. I
wanted to let you know about two NEW RELEASES from the video
production team at Carpenter Research. These two new research videos
are just jam-packed with great information on UFO abductions ---
both from the U.S.A. and Australia (a FIRST !!)....
NEW VIDEO RELEASE !!!!!!!!
MULTIPLE PARTICIPANT ABDUCTIONS" by John S. Carpenter, MSW, LCSW
Multiple participant abductions are accounts of alleged UFO
encounters in which two or more persons share the recall of being
taken aboard an unusual craft at the same time and experiencing
strange beings not of this world. Initially, these witnesses share
little more than an odd period of unexplained amnesia or "missing
time." Separated for investigative interviews and independent
hypnosis sessions, these participants are able to remember -- much
to their surprise -- specific details of a shared UFO abduction
scenario. They can describe the same odd beings, unique symbols,
barren rooms, confusing exams, specific procedures, and
extraordinary behaviors which often defy conventional physics.
Experience for yourself this important area of abduction research as
you meet the participants, view drawings, paintings, and photographs
from their experiences, and hear the professional analysis by
psychiatric therapist John Carpenter. 115 minutes - $29.95
NEW VIDEO RELEASE !!!!!
"ENCOUNTERS IN AUSTRALIA" by John S. Carpenter, MSW, LCSW The "Land
Down Under" has not been excluded from the extraordinary mystery of
UFO encounters. Despite the remote location of this island continent
in the South Pacific Ocean, documented cases of skinny little gray
beings with big black eyes, reptilian creatures, hybrid humanoids,
and even praying mantis types all appear in the collected data.
Experience the words and emotions of each witness as these encounters
are revealed. Meet researchers Glennys Mackay and Keith Basterfield
as they share their recent cases. Housewife Kelly Cahill suddenly
found herself part of a shared abduction encounter with other people
she had never met before --- but who now independently correlate and
confirm her account. Therapist Elizabeth Robinson had been trying to
dismiss her experiences until her own daughter and mother also
reported similar encounters. And MUCH MUCH more !!! John Carpenter
narrates --- blending these interviews with charming views of the
scenery and wildlife of Australia. 116 minutes - $29.95
