AIR VICTORY MUSEUM OWNER DIES IN F-86 PLANE CRASH

On Thursday evening I met with Steve Snyder and his wife about
future plans for the museum.  On Saturday, I'm sorry to report
this great innovator and visionary died while flying his beloved
F-86 Sabre jet during his performance at the South Jersey
Regional Airport.  He was flying low over the runway after
performing some acrobatics and the Korean vintage jet's right
wing dipped and touched the ground.  The aircraft cart-wheeled
into a wooded area and burst into flames.  We lost a fine person
and friend.  I had been trying to convince Steve of the reality
of UFOs for several years.  He seemed to be coming over to
thinking that UFOs just might be real.  He had allowed me to
place an expanding UFO exhibit in the museum.  Steve had
graduated from Georgia Tech has an aeronautical engineer, and
UFOs were tough for him to accept.  Thursday he said, "My
biggest stumbling block to ET is the tremendous distances
between our Earth and other solar systems!"  I attempted to
explain NASA engineer Paul Hill's findings regarding the time
requirements for interstellar travel.  After listening to my
arguments, Steve said, "Lets have a UFO Dance at the museum.
I'll get a model UFO to fly from the center of the floor and
every one will go wild!"  We laughed and agreed to have a UFO
dance at the museum.  Steve was a wonderful guy who invented the
square parachute and piloted aircraft for 7000 hours while
running several companies.  In Steve Snyder's honor, I'm
providing a summary of Paul Hill's concepts, "Unconventional
Flying Objects."  Perhaps Steve can put these concepts to the
test?

INTERSTELLAR TRAVEL: ACCELERATION AND MISSION PROFILE: Most
writers, and physicists too, in estimating the time for
interstellar travel, neglect the effect of the accelerating
portions of the trip on the trip time, making the simplifying
assumption that the vehicle makes the entire trip at constant
velocity.  This is probably done because the requisite equations
are scarce items in the literature... snip. 4.  It is possible
for an interstellar trip to be very short.  The trip from our
nearest neighbor, Alpha Centuri, a triple star system 4.3 light
years away made by acceleration at 140 g to a v/c of 0.9999 is
accomplished from a standing start to a standing finish in 6
weeks.  Snip At the highest speeds considered, the travel time
is not at all proportional to the distance.  For example at 20 g
and v/c=0.9999 we read a distance of 25 light years takes 0.6
years on board, while a distance of 100 light years is covered
in almost a year.  The reason is easy to visualize.  Once the
vehicle is up to speed, vast amounts of additional distance may
be covered during the coast period with but little increase in
time and, obviously, with no increase in additional light year
covered while coasting.

CONCLUSION: I hope I have made it clear that there is an
important distinction to be made between the time experienced by
the space traveler and the time which passes meanwhile on the
home planet and on the planetary destination.  The tremendous
acceleration, speed, and energy capability displayed by UFOs
make them well suited to capitalize on this distinction by the
attainment of greatly reduced on board times realizable by
approaching the speed of light.  Even an approach to 90 percent
of light gets the job done for the nearer stars.  Higher
fractions of light speed give attractive time reductions for
longer trips.  Don't be misled by the countless statements in
the literature that interstellar distances and the speed of
light constitute some kind of barrier to space travel.  There
are only two paths to this conclusion:  Nobody in the universe
has the technology to approach light speed.  Observer time is
significant, and on board time is to be ignored.  Both paths are
false ones.  The confused second view is the more common.  Its
proponents are using the observed time for light to travel as
the shortest possible time for passage.  "Totally false."
Thanks to Paul Hill, "Unconventional Flying Objects."  Pages
268-279 Editor's Note: The sailors who crossed the ocean a
couple hundred years ago and those settlers who crossed the West
in wagon trains would find the trip aboard a fast space ship to
another star system a reasonable time period.  The biggest
problem would be that their friends and relatives would be
unlikely to be alive when they returned, so they might decide to
bring them along.  Speaking of friends, Steve Snyder will be
painfully missed and I send my condolences to his wife Barbara
and two sons.

RHODE ISLAND

WARWICK ­ MUFON Assistant State Director Janet Bucci writes.  "I
thought you might want to know I am investigating another case.
Friday evening June 11, 1999, at around 11:00 PM a gentleman in
Warwick, was looking out his window at the sky and spotted three
lights acting strangely.  They were gambling about as if playing
and headed toward the ground, whereupon they became one light.
The light shot back up in sky and separated into three lights
again.  This sequence repeated over and over again, while the
gentleman watched for about half-an-hour.  The details are as
yet unknown since the investigation has not yet been started but
thought you'd want to hear that we have a potential sighting in
the works.

NEW JERSEY ORBS AND OTHER ANOMALIES

PARAMUS, NJ -- Vinny Polise writes, "At the present time I have
been experiencing what some in the Ufology and Paranormal Field
call ORBS."  Orbs over the past years have been showing
themselves to certain individuals, such as myself and have
bought themselves to my attention.  What is this phenomenon?  We
are unable to comprehend what they are and where they come from.
In the beginning of my research, around 1990, I started
investing time in the Pine Bush, New York, phenomena better
known as the Lower Hudson Valley Sightings.  Pine Bush is known
for being one of the UFO capitals of the world.  Between 1990
and 1999, I personally witnessed many strange phenomena relating
to UFOs and other dimensional beings.  Photographing became part
of my research and would indeed prove to be a monumental
improvement in what we believe to be the reality of another
dimension.  Strange anomalies would appear on my photos and
negatives.  Whether it be strange light streaks, Orbs,
Paranormal Mist, or just plain ghostly shadows, I knew there was
something extremely strange going on in the area.  Time went on
and these phenomena would still be registering on all types of
camera equipment, no matter how inexpensive the camera would
still register these images.  TV shows such as, Sightings, A&E,
The Learning Channel, and so on have all been to the Pine Bush
area.  Sightings actually video taped a flying Manta or V shaped
craft in the late 80's along with other phenomena.  This
phenomenon is ongoing.  What I have found is that the area is
not critical, but the person and his attraction to the phenomena
are.  That's right, the phenomena from my perspective is
everywhere, but there is one catch.  This phenomena is attracted
to certain individuals.  The ability to film these images and
anomalies come from within the individual.  During the past two
years, the Pine Bush activity has followed me home to Paramus,
New Jersey.  This is a border town close to New York.  It is a
quiet little community where I found an open area and a
semi-dense wooded area close to my home.  I have been filming
there for over a year.  The results have been phenomenal.   The
phenomenon of the "Orbs" is one "we" may or may not find an
answer too.  There are a lot of single people doing individual
studies on this "orb" concept and phenomena.  Basic studies done
by myself have shown me that "orbs" have an intelligence, are
able to move at rapid speeds, disappear, appear, change color,
shape, and size all in the blink of an eye.  Usually you need
the camera to pick them up but sometimes they are visible to the
naked eye.  Orbs tend to be in another dimensional level, but
have the ability to interchange dimensions.  I think within time
we may one day be able to communicate with other dimensional
worlds and their inhabitants.  Orbs are not harmful, and seem to
only be as curious of us as we are of them. I have found that a
simple "asking" will entice these orbs to come closer to the
individual filming them, as you can see in the photos.  There
have been times that I have been so close I could have actually
grabbed one of them, but they have an ability to maneuver and
disappear.  What I am looking for with these orbs, is contact on
a conscious level, to learn from them, and possibly getting a
glimpse of their reality!  Thanks to: Vinny Polise. See photos

FLORIDA

LOXAHOCHE -- Endrick Torres a 19 year old  student reported to
BUFOD that he saw a UFO near Wellington on June 20, 1999.  Two
of my relatives and several neighbors spotted something in the
sky at 10:30 PM.. It was very bright but not moving.  At first
we thought it was a star or a plane, but I have never seen a
star not blinking and a plane not moving.  I grabbed a pair of
binoculars to get a better view.  It was a strange object with
three vertical lights close to each other that from afar, looked
like one glow.  It stayed like this for a half an hour, so we
started filming.  It kept on like this for the remainder of the
tape until the video ended.  When  the camera stopped filming,
the object started moving and changing shape.  It went from a
vertical line to an oval shape then to an ellipse and back.
The top light changed from white to red and morphed that way.
This went on for 30 minutes until 12:00 AM, when we lost sight
of it to the west.  It was hovering towards the bell glade area.
We watched the video and everything came out pretty good.  There
were times when it was difficult to see because my hand was
moving but the good shots are unmistakable.  The hovering craft
made no noise and had many lights that changed shape and color
at an estimated 800 feet.  Thanks to BUFOD' Ben Field -

TEXAS

LAKE LEWISVILLE ­ Last week, I reported a June 6, 1999, sighting
of three large maneuvering lights.  The correct date is June 9,
1999.  Amy writes, "What is interesting is that I saw this
'splitting' UFO almost exactly two years to the day.  On June 7,
1997,  I saw a huge moonlike UFO that hovered in the field
behind my house."  All hell seemed to break loose that month.  I
got some of it on video tape!  It changed my life so much that I
went from ignoring general UFO reports to reading every UFO
report I could get my hands on for the last two years.  I came
across some amazing discoveries in my studies (well, amazing to
me).  Just the other night I saw a bright flash of light that
lit up the sky.  Then a few seconds later all the power went out
in my house leaving me staring at a blank computer screen in
total darkness.  Power seemed to be out on the entire block, but
who can tell in these small towns where they roll up the streets
at 8:00 PM? (grin).  The power came back on within 5 minutes.
Something mighty weird seems to be going on back there. I've
heard the area where I saw the moonlike UFO is owned by the Army
Corps of Engineers.  I've seen many strange beams of light
coming from the ground all over the place yet there is nothing
out there but open fields and small houses for miles.  Guess
it's time to take a hike. <grin>  Only way I know to access the
area is dirt bike or on foot.  Thanks to  Amy Hebert

WASHINGTON

LONGVIEW -- I met with Peter Davenport concerning updates on the
February 25, elk abduction in Washington.  Apparently, more
witnesses were interviewed by the MUFON investigator Bob
Fairfax.  The witnesses who are of Mexican descent were planting
seedlings on the side of a mountain.  They would have been
plainly visible from the air.  A small craft roughly in the
shape of the heal of a shoe, (an elongated disc with the back
cut off), flew over and picked up a running elk.  The fourteen
forestry workers were all frightened by the UFO abduction of the
elk and remained close together for the rest of the day.  During
the investigation an elk was later found that might have been
involved in the abductions.  The elk had no visible signs of
injury but had ticks still embedded in the elk's neck.  Both the
ticks and the elk were dead.  When an animal dies the ticks
quickly leave because the temperature lowers and the blood flow
stops.  The Game and Wildlife officer says, there have been hard
conditions this year for animals and most are undernourished and
many have starved.  The craft was 10 to 12 feet long and only
slightly larger than the elk.  Several witnesses felt the UFO
appeared to grow larger to accommodate the elk.  Thanks to Peter
Davenport. Editors Note: It is very unusual for UFOs to attempt
to pick up animals in broad daylight in front of 14 witnesses.
The UFO's aircrew may also have problems in obtaining food.

UTAH

MIDVALE -- Tim Hagemeister Director NACOMM reports a Sunday,
June 20, 1999, sighting at 4:10 to 4:20 PM of three silver round
objects.  One object particularly convinced me what I was seeing
was not anything I have ever seen before.  Its movement was
sharp and at one point not moving at all for several minutes.
We're looking to find any other reports for same area.  This is
an initial sighting report and more detailed report will follow
in the coming days.  Thanks to Tim Hagemeister Director  NACOMM

CHILE

COCHRANE -- Luis C. Sanchez Perry Chilean Director Skywatch
International reports that on June 20, 1999, a married couple
that live on Chilean military land reported a UFO sighting.
Last year a 400 meter triangular UFO was seen in this same area.
The couple report three times a day from Predio Backer to the
Coihaique military base, where the following report was
obtained.  On Sunday night at 8:30 PM, they saw five luminous
objects fly over their house in a linear formation (O O O O O).
They were three meters apart heading south.  About 300 meters
from the house they stopped.  Four of the objects merged into
one lighting up the entire sky.  The fifth object remained
static.  Both of the objects started moving very slowly from
their position to a nearby hill called "La Meceta."  Once over
the hill, the five objects separated in all directions.  They
gathered again in a line formation (O O O O O) and left heading
for the city of Punta Arenas.  The sky was clear and the entire
sighting lasted about 14 minutes.  During the sighting, they
tried to radio the police in Cochrane, but the radios failed to
function until the UFO's departed.  Thanks to military officer
Rodrigo Bravo from Coihaique base who ordered that this report
be released.  This is the first official case as far as I know
where a UFO sighting is officially registered in the Daily Event
Book and released to the public.  In normal circumstances this
sighting would not be registered.  But Rodrigo Bravo is a good
friend of mine and he is very interested in UFO's.  So he
thought it was time for the military take a more serious and
opened attitude about UFOs.  Let hope it works.

COIHAIQUE -- During May numerous military personnel reported UFO
sightings in the middle of military exercises.   1) Two lights
(red and orange) were seen going from the ground to the sky
(vertically), one after the other at Las Vandurrias 24
kilometers east of Coihaique at 8:30 PM.   2)  Small star like
object moving erratically (up, down and sideways) with flashes
of light that illuminated all the sky. This lasted a few
minutes.  After about five minutes it happened again but on the
opposite side of the sky.   3)  Many solders saw a ball of
orange light come horizontally out of "Cerro Piramide" without a
tail.

UFO FLIES NEAR A COMMERCIAL AIRLINER -- On May 23, 1999, a UFO
was witnessed by the flight crew and passengers for thirty
minutes.  The sighting started over Puerto Natales, and the
commander invited some passengers to the cabin to have a better
view of the UFO.  The Commander then contacted the control tower
that also had a visual contact with the UFO and it's movements.
All the radio contact between the aircraft and control tower was
recorded on tape.  There was no radar contact with the UFO.  The
Flight number and pilot's name are being withheld.  This case is
being investigated by the UFO group AION. (aion@chilesat.net)

BELGIUM TRIANGLES

Aviation  enthusiast  Eric Morris states: "On Saturday 12th
June, I attended the Woodford Airshow held at British Aerospace,
Woodford, Cheshire.  At approximately 12:45 PM I made my way
over to a group of pilots who were talking to the public and
giving stickers out to enthusiasts.  I managed to get into
conversation with two of these men, one the pilot of a Royal
Netherlands Air Force aircraft and the other an F-16 pilot.
After a few minutes I asked them candidly about the 'Belgian UFO
incidents' of 1989/90 and without any hint of a lie the told me
that firstly, they were knowledgeable about the case.  Secondly,
they knew the name of Colonel Wilfred de Brouwer who was most
closely associated with the case at the time -- from an official
point of view.  The pilot laughed when asked about triangular
'UFOs' and stated that they were/are not UFOs as such but
classified aircraft.  I feigned surprise and said that the press
and public thought differently.  This encouraged them to be a
little more forthcoming and they added that 'an experimental
aircraft' had been involved and had developed problems.  The men
stated that knowledge of this incident was not exactly limited
to Belgium and that Dutch, UK and German radars were affected by
this and that some tracks were made.  In the UK radar stations
on the East coast had, apparently, picked the aircraft up.  They
argued that the jet fighters were tasked to track the
experimental aircraft in the air for some reason.  They knew the
Belgian pilots involved.  They were adamant that this was not a
UFO sighting and having had conversations with other NATO pilots
had discovered that NATO Air Forces were 'in the know.'
Official statements, of the type put out by de Brouwer, were
little more than a smokescreen to hide the facts.  The actual
craft in question was, as far as they knew, of European design
and they didn't know about any possible US involvement.  America
was not mentioned in this respect.  They also had heard about
cover-ups of incidents at RAF Boscombe Down.  The aircraft in
question were F-16's Serial J-256, J-259, attached to R.
Netherlands AF Squadron 299, 301, 311."  I am prepared to make a
statement in front of a Solicitor in the form of an affidavit if
required.  This statement if true to the best of my recollection
and for further information I can be contacted as follows; Eric
Morris, 78 Greenall Rd, Northwich, Cheshire CW9 5RN.  Tel
(01606) 330567.  Tim Matthews comments;  Although this is a
remarkable account some of the facts fit what we know.  Derek
Sheffield's "UFO - A Deadly Concealment" indicates that the MOD
(UK) knew all about it and that North Atlantic Ground Defence
Environment (NADGE) radar picked the aircraft up.  Importantly,
he states that anything reported to one country's radar would
necessarily be passed on to the rest in the loop.  He also
indicates there was an official cover-up and it is remarkable to
note how Ufolgists who believe in a UFO cover-up treat the
Belgian military as a different and truthful entity, when
claiming there is a Covert Agenda of UFO cover-ups at the
highest levels of power.  Thanks to Tim M. matthews@zetnet.co.uk
Editor's Note:  Our government's know which UFO reports are real
and those that are not.  We gain little by pushing reports that
may not be true.  Certainly, UFOs could have been involved, but
within NATO military circles this version of the report is
considered true.

RUSSIA

ROSTOV -- Anatoly Kutovoy reports I have received some details
regarding the UFO  from one fellow from Rostov in the Northern
Caucasus.  The UFO was filmed by Liudmila Goryacheva, a
university student, her address is known.  Also Moscow TV
evening program 'Vzgliad' (translated as 'Look') interviewed two
of the witnesses.  The girls told what they had seen.  There was
also a report about the UFO on one of Rostov's local radio
stations.  The local newspaper "Evening Rostov" has also
published an article.  The UFO was sighted to the west (or
West-North-West), 25 degrees above horizon.  The events
continued for about a month.  A Rostov university student is
trying to investigate but he does not have much time for
investigation.  Best regards,  Anatoly Kutovoy

MIB MOVIE MAY HIDE UFO

I have possible UFO sighting.  During the movie, Men In Black
(M.I.B.) there is a strange white dot that slowly moves across
the sky.  This occurs during the seen where the bug takes the
doctor from the morgue to the space ship that is disguised as a
water tower.  This happens before the bug climbs the ladder to
the ship.  This is just one of the sightings. Thanks to Chris:

KECKSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA UFO CRASH DOCUMENTARY

Kecksburg UFO crash/retrieval Video Documentary.  Most readers
are familiar with the Roswell event, but many are unaware that a
similar incident occurred in Pennsylvania in 1965, near a small
rural community called Kecksburg.  Veteran UFO researcher Stan
Gordon, has been gathering information on this case for many
years, and has produced a studio made 92 minute video called
"Kecksburg The Untold Story."  This production recently won the
1998 EBE film award for the Best Historical UFO Documentary.
The video contains interviews with many people who have
information about the case including witnesses who saw the
object in the sky.  Also with those who say they came across a
large metallic acorn shaped object with strange markings,
partially buried in the ground, before the military arrived on
the scene.  Among those interviewed are reporters who were on
location that night, a witness who says he saw the odd acorn
shaped object on the back of an army flatbed tractor trailer
truck, and civilians who claim they were confronted by armed
military personnel.  For the first time, some witnesses speak
out on camera discussing information that suggests that there
could have been a cover-up to withhold the truth about what
occurred near Kecksburg.  A startling revelation is revealed
here from a witness, who says he saw a body in the same building
with the Kecksburg object, at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base,
only days after it was delivered there.  Also contained in the
documentary are some of the actual audio excerpts from the WHJB
radio special called "Object in the woods," which was broadcast
soon after the incident in a "cut and edited version."  To order
your copy of "Kecksburg The Untold Story" send a check or money
order to: Stan Gordon Productions, P.O. Box 936, Greensburg, PA
15601. Attention: Dept. GF.  The cost of the tape including
shipping and handling is $35.90.  For PA residents the cost
including tax, S&H is $38.05.  For PA residents living in
Philadelphia and Allegheny Counties the total cost is $38.41.
