Senator Barry M. Goldwater (R Arizona), Republican presidential
candidate in 1964.  In a letter to researcher Shlomo Amon, dated
March 28, 1975 stated:

    "The subject of UFOs is one that has interested me for some
long time.
About ten or twelve years ago, I made an effort to find out what
was in the building at Wright Patterson Air Force Base where the
information is stored that has been collected by the Air Force,
and I was understandably denied the request.  It is still
classified above Top Secret.  I have, however, heard that there
is a plan nder way to release some, if not all, of this material
in the near future.  I’m just as anxious to see this material as
you are, and I hope we will not have to wait too much longer.,

NEW YORK SIGHTINGS

PLAINVIEW:  Edward M. states he had a UFO sighting on August 13,
1998.  "My name is Ed.  I'm sixteen and from Long Island.  Myself
and seven others saw what we believe to be a UFO at 8:20 PM.  I
have been waiting my whole life for something like this to happen
to me, and I thought it never would, but I saw one!  We were all
just hanging out outside playing and I was sitting down watching
the sky.  I thought I saw a star moving when I realized it was
not a star.  It was too high to be a plane and to close to be a
star.  It moved at medium speed across the sky.  First I pointed
it out to my friend Greg since we're both fascinated by space,
then to everybody.  Everyone was watching when it started to
zigzag.  We really freaked.  It appeared to be get bigger and
smaller, probably because its whitish yellow light, then a faint
blue was turning off and on.  It got further away and hard to
see.  We then saw a very faint small blue light inside a cloud
where it proceeded to Ping-Pong at an incredible speed for about
five seconds at a time.  It did this two or three times.  It then
flashed a few more times before disappearing for good.  Thanks to
Ed and Larry Clark lclark@ibm.net

PINE BUSH: On the evening of August 19, 1998, two men, R.D. and
his son-in- law, Chris, visited Pine Bush, a notorious UFO
hotspot.  They were there about three hours when they observed a
UFO that was so bright they couldn't look at it through their
binoculars.  It was about a 100 feet high and two miles away.
The UFO "flew quickly towards us, passing within one-eighth of a
mile at outrageous speeds.  It seemed to float in the air rather
than fly."  "Then, just as it was almost over our shoulders, it
turned red, sped up at 45 degrees above the horizon and
disappeared.  There was no engine sound or trailing vapor.  Less
than two minutes later, two fast moving jet fighters flew over
chasing the UFO." The men watched the jets with their binoculars
until they passed out of view.  Thanks to Rev. Billy Dee of
UFOSSI and UFO Roundup Vol. 3 #34, 8/20/98 editor Tom Trainor.

PIFFARD:  MUFON's Catherine Laughlan reports that on August 20,
1998, at a group breakfast, one man asked if anyone knew if the
government launches 'experimental stuff' in the area?  He said,
At 2:00 AM, he was out walking on a clear night and saw the
'strangest object' in the sky.  It was a very bright star like
object, but it could not have been a star or satellite because he
had watched it zigzag around the sky. When asked what he thought
it was, the man replied he didn't know, but maybe the government
was testing something.

VERMONT

Ray Fowler, MUFON Director of Investigations, writes,  "The
August 3, sighting report  (if the witnesses got their direction
wrong) is a dead ringer for Jupiter and it's four largest moons
especially when they saw it again in roughly the same area.  It
reminds me of a large crowd that had gathered to watch a UFO at a
local college campus.  Autokinesis and cloud movement made it
appear to be moving (in addition to the earth's rotation).  A
policeman called on the seen using binoculars reported a white
round object with 4 little ones around it.  When I told the crowd
that it was Jupiter, I was laughed at.  You might get back to the
witnesses and ask them if they see it each night in a slightly
different place, but in the same direction.  Jupiter is at its
brightest now as it has just gone through opposition.  Thanks to
Ray Fowler, MUFON Director of Investigations.  Editor’s note:
Investigator Tom McFarland also feels the sighting was probably a
star, possibly Cappella.  Jupiter will be very bright over the
next few weeks and rise in the east shortly after sunset.

FLORIDA

FORT MEYERS:  Astronomer Linda S. Jacobson reports, "We have had
several flying triangle craft reports here in Southwest, Florida
-- the latest was caught on video.  Since our local news stations
will not work with me it looks like I'm going to be handing out
the $50.00 to their video repository to even get a look at the
video -- The sighting was made on August 21, 1998, at 3:30 AM.
During the last three months, triangle UFO sightings were
occurring around 10:00 to 11:00 PM.  Again as in the other cases
the direction of movement was from the South, toward the North.
The Triangle that was observed on the 21st was *entirely lit from
below*  that is similar to Bob's reports.
There was no "constellation effect" of rippling or pulsating
lights just a steady glow from the underbelly.  I teach Astronomy
over the winter months at a branch campus of Edison Community
College. Thanks to Linda Jacobson CE Astronomy educator, visit

MONTANA

MISSOULA: Santide and two associates from work were traveling
along I-90 going west from, Montana through Idaho to Spokane,
Washington.  For more than an hour we witnessed to the south
multiple UFOs zigzagging, circling, splitting from one into two,
combining three into one, and shooting across the sky and then
back.  It was so strange, we stopped three different times to
make sure they were not reflections or the bumpiness of the
vehicle.  . I was told by the UFO group out of Seattle that there
was a potential FAA report from a flight out of Spokane the same
night.  I just want answers.  I had never been to any of these
three states and was freaked out by what I witnessed.  Please
help me to tell this story.  Thanks to ISUR, Santide3@aol.com,
and John Thompson.

MICHIGAN

MARLETTE:  Jeff Westover reports on August 24, 1998, he saw
several bright stationary lights between 22:30 and 23:15 PM.
High altitude air traffic was unusually heavy.  One Marlette, MI
woman, 'Norma W.' age 53, was also a witness to the strange
lights.  Jeff personally witnessed two aircraft in the same area
of the sky turn on and off their landing lights as if to warn
nearby air traffic at 2230 EST.  One of the aircraft, flying in a
west-southwest direction, flashed its light at an anomalous
hovering whitish-pink light.
This anomalous light may have been another aircraft, although no
FAA-compliant lighting could be discerned after its bright light
was extinguished.  Five minutes later, I witnessed an amazing
display. Three orange balls of light fanned out from a single
point in the sky to the north-northeast of my position.  They
appeared in rapid succession one after another from the same
point in the sky and disappeared within a few seconds.  They were
much brighter than an aircraft's landing lights. The lights could
not have been flares as they moved quickly horizontally, and
there was no aircraft above to have released them.  All three
disappeared simultaneously.  At 2240 EST, a single brilliant
orange light appear in the northern skies at a 30 degree
elevation.  It was stationary and disappeared within five
seconds.  This was as bright as an aircraft's landing lights.  At
2300 EST, my mother and I witnessed a second display of orange
lights appear in a group to the north of Marlette.  It was at an
elevation of 15 to 20 degrees.  There were at least three orange
lights sitting in the sky before they disappeared.  Five minutes
later, my mother watched an orangish-white ball of light
travelling in a zigzagging fashion towards the east.  This light
would alternatively appear and extinguish as it moved across the
sky.  They contacted Sanilac County Sheriff's Dispatcher
(810/648-2000) who had not received any UFO reports.
Thanks to Jeffrey S. Westover.

COLORADO

ELBERT COUNTY:  Bob Hetsko says he was talking to the mother of a
boy who had seen a "triangle" floating about during the night
from his window near Elizabeth.  The parents did not see the
triangle, but the witness is a very sharp and truthful 6th
grader.  Bob conversed briefly with the boy who impressed him
with his maturity and intelligent responses before they discussed
UFOs.  As we parted, I handed them a business card for UFO
investigation and the mother was shaken up and her cheerful
demeanor changed.
She told her son to describe to me what he saw last night, August
24, 1998.
He said, He saw a triangle floating in the air, and was not able
to explain it.  I asked him how large it was?  It was two to
three inches long at arm's length."  I asked him to estimate a
distance, and he pointed to a tower almost two miles away.  This
would have to be a huge craft.  I believe that the boy was
telling the truth.  Evidently, the parents had to console their
son as he was very upset and worried about being harmed.  I
informed him that there have never been any credible cases of
humans being hurt by these UFOs.  Hopefully, this is true :-).
Thanks to Bob Hetsko Jefferson County Colorado

WYOMING

PATHFINDER LAKE: On August 15, 1998, in Natrona County at 9:00
AM., two witnesses were sitting on the shore fishing.  We heard
what sounded like a jet coming from the south.  As it approached
I said: "boy he is low."   We tried to see the what sounded like
a jet fighter but as it passed over us, but nothing could be
seen.  It was invisible!  I am a student pilot I know where to
look when you hear a jet.  Especially one that is low.  It was
invisible?
It might be that new military aircraft Popular Science magazine
spoke about where the paint and lighting changes to make the jet
totally camouflaged.
Thanks to John Thompson and ISUR and IKEBISH@prodigy.net!

CANADA

MANITOBA:  Paul Anderson’s reports preliminary information on
large crop circle formations being found on August 26, 1998, from
Chris Rutkowski (Ufology Research of Manitoba) and Gordon Sopczak
(CPR-Canada-Alberta and CCCS).  They reported "massive"
formations in a field of oats south of Winnipeg.  Pictograms
consisting of multiple "circles, triangles and crosses" were
observed.  Chris is hoping to fly over later today.  Further
details will be sent when available.  We will also have aerial
shots of an Esterhazy, Saskatchewan dumbbell within next few
days, plus additional photos of Conquest and Outlook,
Saskatchewan.  Esterhazy formation has been sampled, and the
samples being sent to Levengood.  Thanks to Paul Anderson.

UNITED KINGDOM

MILTON KEYENS:  On August 24, 1998, Adrian Tully saw a
transparent triangle with a pink/red light at each corner.  The
object flew overhead heading north.
The triangle filled a large portion of the sky without making any
noise.  I don't know if it was huge or just low in the sky.  The
lights were bigger than the stars.  Phone #0956 265867    Their

EAST LANCASHIRE:  Tim Mathews reports that his colleague Sandra
Grundy informed me today that several intriguing sightings of
'anomalous lights' had been reported in the Earby area on the
Lancashire/Yorkshire border in recent weeks.  Sandra visited the
witnesses and learned that on consecutive Saturdays (15th and
22nd August '98) a most peculiar 'plasma-like' orange light was
seen by a number of witnesses.  The objects were said to be up to
30 feet in length and appeared to have an 'undulating' and
'skipping' motion. They performed sharp turns and eventually
disappeared into a valley.  Given that this area is known for
sightings of so-called 'earth lights' there is a possibility that
we may be on the verge of a new outbreak.  However, Sandra and
the small Lancashire UFO Society investigations team is trying to
get hold of as much information as possible.  Thanks to Tim
Matthews

FRANCE

CHARLEVILLE-MEZIERES: Thierry Wathelet of UFOCOM, a French UFO
researcher reports that  French TV stations (TF1 - France 2 -
France 3) "have shown an amateur video about a triangle shaped
object over the country on the night of August 10-11, 1998.  Some
250 witnesses have seen the strange craft with big white lights
at the extremities and a rolling red light in the center."
Wathelet says an apparently identical object was reported by a
family on June 27, 1998, in the town of Quaregnon, Belgium.
These giant black triangles are regularly reported over the
United Kingdom.  If witness reports are correct, these objects
take a number of different forms, from perfect equilateral
triangles to extremely wide boomerangs.  Huge size is almost
always emphasized.  Usually these craft make a low-pitched hum.
The craft hover and make amazing sudden turns.  They are often
sighted over highly populated areas, as if intending to be seen.
But they almost always fly at night, so structural details are
difficult to see.  The numerous reports indicate something very
strange is flying in our skies! Thanks to Thierry

AUSTRALIA:

Glennys Mackay reports things seem to be heating up here in
Australia.  I am the Continental Director for Australia/ New
Zealand.  During the past two years I have promoted and bought
speakers from various parts of the world to Brisbane, Australia
to share their research with the public here in Australia.
Our country has a great climate for UFO's, underground bases
etc., - I was told once that there over 18 US bases here (how
much truth is in this info I do not know?) but, certainly we’ve
had some interesting sightings in our nights skies over the past
few years.  The triangles have been sighted so have the cigar
shapes and round silver disk shaped craft.  I have had several
reports of unmarked dark helicopters in the vicinity of these
sightings.  More recently I have been contacted by farmers whose
cattle disappeared and were mutilated in very remote areas with
UFO landing on their properties.  UFOs have been seen near
open-cut coal mines by a number of night shift workers.
I will put together some interesting reports and forward them to
you. Thanks to: Glennys Mackay J.P. (Justice of the Peace) MUFON

HAWAII,  PACIFIC

PACIFIC OCEAN NEAR 180 DEGREES EAST: First Officer Arturo E.
Buenaventura reports that in 1992, at 3:00 AM we were flying at
31,000 feet westbound for Manila when we saw two exceptionally
bright lights like an incoming aircraft.
It then disappeared.  After a while, a huge UFO appeared on the
left side of our aircraft flying formation.  It was huge and had
numerous lights and antenna.  The closest description I can give
is that it was similar to the UFO in the movie "Close Encounters
of the Third Kind."  I was the First Officer on that particular
flight.  We never saw it approach us, it simply appeared off our
wing.  Then as suddenly as it appeared, it disappeared like it
had gone into another dimension.  This incident was witnessed by
four aircraft at that time.  One was a Military Airlift Command’s
aircraft, a Continental Airline, and two 747 aircraft Philippine
Airlines Flights that had a stopover in Honolulu.  We were about
1& 1/2 hours away from Honolulu bound for Manila.

FIREFLY STEALTH FLYING TRIANGLE MAY SOLVE MANY UFO SIGHTINGS

Graham M. Wilson reports a NATO 'Firefly' Black Budget Stealth
exists?  The craft is an equilateral-shaped triangle, each edge,
from tip to tip, is approximately 184 feet.  The 'Firefly' is one
of the current generation of super-stealth aircraft, still part
of the black-budget program.  This is not the alleged 'HALO'
product, which is a smokescreen designed to lure inquisitive
researchers away from the 'Firefly. Near silent in operational
flight, near silent hover capabilities.  The underside lighting
configuration is so designed as to give conflicting eyewitness
accounts of the lighting and indeed shape of the craft, the three
large circular red lights in each point can converge in the
center to form one very large red or white light.  The craft is
fitted with various psychotronic devices, including certain beam
weapons that can induce psychological and physiological effects
on humans and animals alike, including pulsed phased lighting
effects that can induce a fit, convulsions, or merely varied
hallucinogenic states.  The disrupters, the sound weapons, can
disorientate individuals, this can then go on to cause physical
displacement, and if the signals are strong enough, prove fatal.
I am informed that there are two of these craft in Europe in
current operation, one is based at Boscombe Down, England and
shares flight operations with Macrihanish, Scotland.  The other
craft is based in Germany. The USA have two craft, of slightly
different configuration.  The craft is manned or crewed by NATO
personnel, it is believed all participating NATO countries supply
flight crew.  Flight simulators are located in the UK, Germany
and the USA.  Thanks to Graham M. Wilson (Chairman & Director of

NURSE'S INQUIRY ON POSSIBLE ABDUCTIONS

Sue Fincher writes: "Many thanks for printing my note in #31
Filer's Files about the grid of dots I have observed on patients.
 This is just a note to clarify two details.  The dots I have
found are scars, not actual holes.  And the pattern is three to
four spots in a grid formation, that is one row below the other,
like this ...
          ...
          ... I hope this clarifies my previous note to you.  I
really hope someone else has noticed this, and I will be sure to
stay tuned to your site, as I find it very informative. Thanks
again, Sue Fincher


Kentucky MUFON reports they received a "dots" report and photo in
December of 1996.  These markings, which appeared in the skin of
a man's upper arm, were arranged in three's, although in the
formation of "boxcars," lined up diagonally, rather than as a
straight line, as the nurse reported.  Dr. Roger Leir is said to
have noted these dot like markings and might have encountered
something more along the line of what was seen on the elderly
patients.
Thumbs up on Filer's Files.  Thanks to Kentucky MUFON.
