The 9th International UFO Congress
Our 9th winter convention March 5-11 in Laughlin, Nevada was
probably the best yet!
Teri Brown reported that 675 had pre-registered. We had 26
presentations involving 30 speakers, and 11 new films competed
in the film festival for newly designed EBE statue awards.
Each morning gatherings for experiencers were hosted by John
Carpenter with assistance by Mary Rodwell and Constance Clear.
The food and drinks at the Wednesday meet-the-speakers party
were sufficient for dinner, and we enjoyed a unique wedding when
Brenda and Ted Lowman were married on stage. The Saturday night
banquet and film festival was a great way to top off a week of
learning and fellowship with a loving group of 4th-density
souls. The full attendance package, including all of this plus
seven nights in the River Palms Resort and daily meal vouchers
for only $335. What a deal!
The Speakers
Joe Lewels was the first speaker Sunday evening. He is; a
financial consultant in El Paso, a former Army combat pilot
with a Ph.D. in journalism and communications, and author of The
God Hypothesis: Extraterrestrial Life and its Implications for
Science and Religion.
He recognizes that UFOs and ETs played a central roll in both
the Old and New Testaments. Based partially on his study of the
Dead Sea Scrolls he suggests that Jesus was an Essene. With 3
1/2 years of research as a certified hypnotherapist, he has
found many subjects with memories of past lives during the time
of Jesus. He is now starting a new book called 'The Christ
Connection'.
Lewels is inspired to merge science with spirit, and he views
spirit as a new science. He said matter is only physical to us
because of our vibratory frequency. If we can alter the
frequency of sub-atomic particles, we could walk through walls
like aliens do. He said that OBEs show that thinking takes place
somewhere besides the brain. Contrary to what Jesus taught, he
sees us doing a lot of judging, especially of aliens, because
they don't look like us.
He also noted that Jesus taught reincarnation and the law of
karma. It was Augustine that made the teaching of reincarnation
punishable by death. Lewells reminded us that Jesus said, "God
is inside of you and outside of you. Know thyself. Go within.
God is within thyself.
Ron Russell - On the 1999 crop formations in England.
He is a professional artist, photographer, trained CSETI field
investigator and coordinator for the Centre for Crop Circle
Studies. He said there were over 150 formations reported last
year, and in many they detected increased energy levels. He
views this as a "bridge phenomenon" with something spiritual
about it.
His slide show was impressive. One was a winged circle. Another
showed a cube in a circle. One formation with 320 circles in a
square in was reminiscent of a computer chip. One formation in
barley was 1020 feet long. He uses a new type detector to
quantify the energy in the formations, and one at Livingston
Castle had energy levels well above background after two weeks.
Russell also mentioned that in Ohio a sheriff treated one crop
circle as a crime scene.
Dr. Roger Leir - a Podiatric Surgeon and author of 'Aliens and
the Scalpel'.
He and his surgical team have performed eight surgeries on
alleged alien abductees, removing nine separate objects. These
surgeries were carefully documented, and the objects have very
strange characteristics.
Some show isotopic ratios not of this world. They are surrounded
by a "dark, gray, shiny, well-organised membrane" made of the
body's own genetic material that blocks rejection. This coating
contains protein, carotin, and hemociterin. All objects have
been in the left side of the body. One in the wrist showed signs
of being attached to a nerve in the shoulder, and at 100x
magnification you can see what looks like nerve fibers attached.
Leir has recently established a non-profit organizations, A & S
Research, Inc. to fund his investigations.
One of Leir's subjects, Tim, spoke briefly to encourage
donations for the research. He said that six weeks before his
UFO experience he broke his neck in a car accident and was
hospitalised for 19 days. He thinks he got a medical checkup
while on board. After the object was removed, his normal cooking
tasted much too salty. He now uses less salt. He also said that
when he was 20 he was more psychic than he is now.
A. J. Gevaerd - editor of the Brazilian UFO Magazine.
An update on increasing UFO encounters in South America.
He is the Director of the Brazilian Center for UFO Research,
having over 2000 members, a Director of MUFON, and a Director of
the IUFOC.
On 9 Oct 99 something that left anomalous radioactivity crashed
on the Island of Joseph Bishop and was witnessed from two Indian
villages. The fire burned for three weeks.
On 19 Jun 99 a 737 crew encountered a cigar-shaped vehicle with
rows of windows and an "exhaust" trail - no wings. The Brazilian
ATC was on full alert. Eighteen years earlier that pilot tried
telepathy with aliens, and the UFO crossed in front of him
several times. He woke 155 passengers to view it. A catholic
Bishop and his companion refused to look.
In another recent case 21 balls of light, each about 300 feet in
diameter, were seen between Rio and Sao Paulo.
Gevaerd said he has many cases of men being taken on board to
have sex with alien women, but not women having the same
experience. I wonder if that isn't a more pleasant way to
collect sperm, and other means are used to collect eggs for
genetic engineering purposes.
As a follow-up to the 28 Jun 79 UFO Abduction at Mirasol that
Wendelle Stevens wrote about, Gevaerd said that the man has now
been taken over 20 times. He feels that they are coming about
two days before they do. He has met his hybrid child three
times. Jose Alvo reported that when he was taken to have sex
with an alien her telepathic thought caused him to desire to
have sex several times.
One man who was returned with a V-shaped "brand" on his back was
told that we must stop producing weapons, stop wars, stop
pollution, and we must preserve the environment.
Another man reported that he was placed in a glass container
where a light came from all around, and a copy of him was
produced in the next container. He was given a pill that
apparently improved his telepathic and telekenetic abilities. He
was drinking at a dinner with UFO investigators when all of the
utensils on the table suddenly bent and twisted.
Michael Hesemann - author and video producer
Known as Germany's most prolific UFO expert, he has lectured in
23 countries, investigated in 42 countries, and since 1990 has
travelled over 700,00 miles in search for truth about what's out
there. Hesemann is also an IUFOC Director.
He spoke about 'Contact in Tepoztlan: A Message for the 3rd
Millennium'. These contacts involved over 1200 witnesses and
seem to be continuing.
Carlos Diaz lives in that village two hours south of Mexico City
where strange lights have been sacred to the Aztec Indians for
ages. ETs have taught Diaz much about the situation of our
planet and the survival of mankind. His contacts look much like
humans. They say they live among us. Although they don't talk
about where the are from, he heard one refer to Maya, which we
associate with the Pleiades.
Hesemann said a vehicle filmed from STS 55 resembled one Diaz
photographed. Diaz was told that we are increasing in
creativity. This can be used to transform the world in positive
or negative directions. Negative {or selfish} people are
destroying the ecology. They are giving away the vitality of the
planet.
Lyn Buchanan was the last speaker Monday.
He has BA degrees in Languages and Psychology and an MA in
Psycholinguistics.
His natural psychic ability was first noticed at age 12. Then,
while a linguist at the US intelligence Field Station at
Augsburg, Germany a "psychokinetic" event led to General
Stubblebine transferring him to Fort Mead as a Controlled Remote
Viewer where he worked for nine years.
In 1992 he retired and built a company called Problems Solutions
Innovations. He said that in December 1995 the CIA effectively
declassified the knowledge of our government's use of CRV to
gain an informational edge in political, military, logistical,
and tactical situations.
In 1997 his company moved to Alamogordo, NM where he trains
CRVers at all levels and performs CRV work for individuals,
corporations, and government agencies.
Buchanan is a founding board member of the International Remote
Viewers Association that uses trained, tested, and proven remote
viewers for public service. He is also Director of the Assigned
Witness Program and is highly dedicated to finding missing
children.
Buchanan spoke of the history of CRV, which started with Project
Scanate in Washington, DC to spy on the US Government. The best
feedback was when the CIA raided their office and tried to
arrest them as spies. This led to the Stanford Research
Institute program led by Puthof and Targ to validate CRV. Pat
Price was considered the world's best remote viewer, but was
reported to have died in 1978.
Remote viewing apparently got into the public domain through
students who were SRI subjects. One thing they learned is that
the more info you give the viewer, the more you mess him up.
Buchanan described the levels of awareness and how you have to
get through the filters of imaginative memories, fears, desires,
and emotions of the conscious and sub-conscious mind to get to
"the source". You use the body to have him bridge the filters.
You have to feel, smell, and taste the target.
They now use a computer that calls out words to train the
sub-conscious to avoid "thinking". In one test, to get 25 hits
in a row and graduate to phase two, it took him 2 months, 25
days and 8 hours.
Buchanan mentioned the Second Annual RV Conference in Mesquite,
NV next memorial-day weekend.
During the long Q&A session he did mention that he was an
abductee. He said that recently Hal Puthof accidentally
encountered Pat Price in a Washington, DC department store
before Pat fled. In remote viewing one of the four underground
alien bases that Price found years ago, Buchanan sensed they
knew he was there, and that was OK with the aliens.
Tuesday's lectures started with Ron Regher
An aerospace engineer Regher worked on the Saturn/Apollo design
team and became interested in UFOs in the mid '50s as a young
volunteer for the Ground Observer Corps.
He spoke on 'Spy Satellites - Our Nation's Last Defense Against
Alien Invasion' and reported that in the autumn of 1974 a Hawk
missile in Korea was fired at a UFO and was shot down. The UFO
then destroyed the rest of the Hawk battery on the ground.
[Sometimes we learn our lessons the hard way.]
He said that Defense System Program (DSP) satellites 14-17 were
launched in 1989, '90 '91, and '94, and they provide a stereo
view of air and space vehicles. They detected 166 of 166 Scud
launches in Iraq.
The 19 Sep 76 Iranian UFO was tracked from there to Cairo and
Lisbon. DSP detected the cylindrical object caught on video over
Salida, CO, and also the Phoenix lights that caused an increase
in our defense condition.
I find it hard to believe, but Regher said the resolution was
0.4 inches in 1978. We can photograph Soviet spy satellites
orbiting 22,000 miles up. He said our Keyhole satellite observed
Terry Waite's abduction in Lebanon. [I wonder how many other
abductions they observe.]
Larry Warren - co-author of 'Left at East Gate', related his
experiences as a security policeman at RAF Bentwaters.
Following two days of UFO activity, on 28 Dec 80, he said he and
others observed one on the ground while the commander, Col.
Gordon Williams, apparently communicated with some aliens.
He said questions were asked about his book on the floor of the
British Parliament. Apparently a UFO sent beams if light into
nuclear storage areas. Lord Hill-Norton said publicly that it
was of great security significance. Warren said that the object
moved through the forest and left radioactive traces on some
trees that were 25 times above background level. Ground at the
landing spot was crystallized to a depth of three feet. The base
has now been sold to a private group. He got into trouble with
security when he called his mother and talked about that night.
He said Col. Williams approved his honorable discharge. A
British tabloid made up a story to discredit the event. And when
he tried to continue his investigation his passport was
suspended on request of the Dept. of Defense for releasing
defense secrets.
Nick Begich - most famous for his book 'Angels Don't Play This
HAARP'
The son of a US Congressman and a political activist. he was
twice elected President of both the Alaska Federation of
Teachers and the Anchorage Council of Education. In 1994 he
received a doctorate in traditional medicine from the Open
International University for Complementary Medicines. He is
currently Chairman of Earthpulse Press, Inc.
His new book and his talk are titled, 'Earth Rising - The
Revolution: Toward a Thousand Years of Peace'.
He promotes a leaderless revolution, one where many individuals
use intellect, spirit, and heart for effective change. He also
stated that no one should talk about a problem without talking
about solutions. That way they argue about solutions instead of
problems.
Begich said that Tom Spencer, of the European Parliament, heard
about him on Art Bell's program, and he was invited to the
European Parliament. The Greens, Social Democrats, and
Conservatives together got a Resolution passed. Three days later
Tom Spencer's personal life was used to force his retirement.
In describing scary soft technologies, Begich said: voice prints
from the airwaves can now isolate an individual; modulated radio
waves can alter mental states of anxiety, fear, etc.;
electromagnetic energy can cause symptoms of iodine poisoning;
and memories can be removed and replaced with synthetic ones.
These technologies can be used or misused. We have a choice. He
ended by saying that each step that the people at this
conference take can lead to a thousand years of peace.
Dr. Stephen Greer - Founder and International Director of the
Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence
He first introduced his CSETI assistant, Linda Willits, who
would help him sell his recent book, 'Extraterrestrial Contact
The Evidence and Implications'.
He was inspired to establish CSETI to train
scientist/ambassadors for the alien presence, and he established
25 such groups around the world. Then he gathered compelling
evidence from over 200 military and civilian witnesses and used
it to try to influence government policy.
He more recently provided briefings on ETs to government
officials, including a CIA Director, Congressmen, military and
White House officials, and the UN Secretary General. Greer
related that during one dinner Mrs. Woolsey asked, "How do they
communicate? The speed of light is too slow." He responded,
"Through coherent directed thought." And she said, "I thought it
had to be something like that."
A Foreign Space Technology Center official asked, "What are we
doing that is causing them so much concern?" Also, Dr. Von Braun
told him that ETs seem to be very concerned about what we do.
Stevens said that no one in CSETI has ever been threatened or
harmed by ETs. When Senator Sam Burton heard his briefing he
asked for everything he had on the subject. Then extensive
effort was made by someone to keep their staffs apart. Greer
said that a transnational government was keeping a lid on the
subject.
Greer said that at age 17 he had a near death experience, and he
learned no one could hurt him. At 18 he learned there was only
one mind in the universe. We are like billions of windows with
only one light shining through them.
One story concerned a man that slammed into the side of an ET
ship during an OBE, and it rocked the ship. This suggests both
were in some altered state. He passed on a story that Daniel
Sheehan heard from a priest. A young boy watched a butterfly
struggle to get out of its cocoon. He clipped the last attaching
strand to help. The butterfly fell to the ground and died,
because it needed the struggle to mature.
We are now emerging from a cocoon of ignorance, and we can't
depend on ETs to solve our problems for us. Greer was concerned
that existing technologies that could replace fossil fuels were
not being used.
He closed by saying he was starting a company that would bring
one of these technologies to the public. The specific technology
would soon be announced on Art Bell's program. He had an
extensive Q&A session after the evening film.
Wednesday Morning
Dr. Robert and Ryan Woods spoke about the leaked Majestic
program documents
Robert is the Director of Research for MUFON.
Ryan started with an Arthur C. Clark quote, "When a scientist
states that something is possible, he is probably right. When a
scientist states that something is impossible, he is most
probably wrong."
Concerning the leaked documents, many through Tim Cooper, he
said, "We think they are from individuals in the program who
have had remorse, rather than an MJ-12 release program."
An Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit report stated that three of
four technicians who came into contact with dead ETs became ill
and died. One MP committed suicide. Animal parts were inside a
saucer. Also, the coordinates of one crash were only 800 meters
south of the first nuclear test site.
It also said Major Charles E. Ray, head of the military hospital
at Oak Ridge, did an autopsy on an alien.
The Eisenhower briefing document, Attachment D, dated 19 Sep 47,
listed many political considerations: public trust would be
eroded, it questions the certainty of scientific knowledge,
national security in jeopardy, financial institutions and energy
providers suffer, history of religion suffers, and there may be
political repercussions, including that the announcement might
be perceived as a trick by the opposite party.
The 1952 draft of MJ-12's first Annual Report mentioned the
government policy of control and denial. It said that Great
Britain, Canada and the USSR were the only countries to be
informed of an ET landing.
Also, in 1949 and '50 several B-36 bombers were missing with
their crews.
More info about these documents can be found on
www.majesticdocuments.com.
Georgio Bongiovanni - Italian stigmatist and the reincarnation
of one of the children from the miracle at Fatima.
He received his hand stigmata in the presence of Mary at Fatima.
She assured him that intelligent life is abundant in the
universe.
His feet were stigmatized in the presence of Jesus in 1991. In
1992,and '93 he was stigmatized on the left side and the
forehead. These marks, that still bleed daily, have helped him
present a message of love and transformation to the world.
Bongiovanni said that in the past 10 years the ET presence has
greatly influenced our scientific, sociological, psychic, and
spiritual life. "We need to prepare to become one with our
cosmic family."
He noted that Earth is in a sad time: three wars ongoing, 15,000
children dying of hunger daily, and enormous contamination of
the planet. He said there is a bright future, but we have to
earn it.
Bongiovanni said we could now rewrite UFO history. Newly
surfaced Italian Secret Service documents reveal an ET landing
there in 1933.
He presented excellent UFO videos and photos. One very large
vehicle was only 20 miles from his home in 1997. Another showed
a crashed saucer being moved into a hangar at Kapustan Yar, the
Russian Area 51. The Russian military gave him a video showing a
UFO near the Russian space station when our shuttle was there on
18 Nov 95. He said there are many active duty Russian military
that do want to speak on the subject, and some higher up are
allowing them to. This is a subtle form of revenge against the
west.
He encouraged us to eliminate our own aggression, and to counter
aggression throughout the world. Search for our cause, and then
take action.
Gildas Bourdais - a French man with an MA in business
administration, works in technical publishing, is the author of
three books.
On 16 Jul 99 a 90-page document was published in France titled,
'UFOs and Defense - What Must We Be Prepared For?' - known as the
COMETA Report, it was prepared by a group of former "auditors"
at the Institute for Higher Studies for National Defense.
The report's three parts are titled: Facts and Testimonies, The
Present State of Knowledge, and UFOs and Defense.
Bourdais noted that the COMETA report was published about the
same time that Corso and Birnes published 'The Day After
Roswell'. It was widely distributed within the French
government.
One case mentioned involved a UFO 200-300 meters in diameter.
One Mirage 4 fighter pilot expressed fear when a UFO kept on his
tail, and he could not escape it.
The report noted how debunking articles were blindly accepted by
the press in many countries. It mentioned the research of Dr.
Barry Downing on religious aspects, but it was criticized for
not mentioning the famous French investigator, Aimé Michel. It
recommended discussions with the US on increased research.
Media reaction to the report was mixed. Some called it modern
mythology, while a science magazine article was titled, UFOs:
Why Science is Beginning to be Interested."
Delores Cannon - considers herself a regressionist and psychic
researcher.
Author of many books, she spoke primarily about material in her
new book, 'The Custodians: 'Beyond Abduction'.
Here are a few comments from a very informative talk.
Several crashes were not widely reported. Some were caused by
electrical storms interfering with their systems.
The 'Watchers' use saucer craft operated by thought. There is an
order to everything. There are councils over solar systems,
galaxies, and universes. The Star Trek rule of non-interference
is real. She mentioned the creation of human/alien hybrids and
even some cloning.
She closed by saying that some abductees may be responsible for
saving the human race. Her book has much new information. Some
that was gathered in 1992 on tape was physically removed from
her for several years, so it would not be published prematurely.
It discusses other dimensions and the reasons for implants in
the human body. I recommend reading the book.
Wednesday Evening
We had a really fun social gathering where I was able to do
something besides take notes.
Thursday Morning
Following the experiencers' support meeting, John Carpenter
hosted a non-recorded open mike session.
About seven ladies and gentlemen shared their personal stories
with the audience. This was interesting, and it apparently has
some therapeutic value.
John Carpenter then presented his lecture with excellent visual
aids.
He is a licensed psychiatric therapist who has treated thousands
of psychological problems over 20 years. In the past 11 years he
has worked on 140 "abduction" cases. Carpenter is Director of
Abduction Research for MUFON. He has written 5 papers, produced
7 videos, and is working on a book, 'Beyond Fantasy: Human
Contact with Non-Human Beings'.
Among his photos was a tabloid announcing 'Hillary Clinton
Adopts a Space Alien Baby'. The baby appeared to me to be the
same species that was on the cover of Time magazine 23 Jun 97,
which I think is properly called Homo alterios spacialis.
Carpenter said that some gray folks that float through walls
frequently operate in threes. He spoke of apparent alien
mistakes. Different family members wake up in the wrong bed. One
woke up in the wrong house.
One man on a farm met aliens beside a ship who wanted something.
He went to the barn to get it, and when he returned the ship was
invisible until he got within 50 feet. It was somehow shielded.
Carpenter ended with a clip from Paranormal Borderline about an
abduction caught on security cameras. When he was returned on
camera 110 minutes later he vomited, and he was disoriented
according to the other security guard. He called in sick the
next three days, but never returned to work.
Constance Clear
A 30-year San Antonio psychotherapist and author of 'Reaching
for Reality: Seven Incredible True Stories of Alien Abduction'.
She has a long list of professional credentials.
From 1982 to 1997 she facilitated a support group for bereaved
parents, which she feels is her best preparation for the work
with abductees she is doing now.
She titled her talk, 'Ambassadors or Lab Rats?'
She received one of the 90,000 copies of the Roper Report;
'Unusual Personal Experiences' mailed by the Bigelow Foundation.
This led to her attendance at the Mack, Hopkins, Jacobs
conference in San Antonio, which got her on the PEER referral
list.
Clients drive hundreds of miles to visit her, and her first
experiencer support group of seven has met for four years. She
has nine in her new group. She finds it interesting that all
nine and half of the first group seem compelled to save seeds.
Both men in the first group pack iron. Men in Texas are supposed
to be in control and protect their families.
Clear said we can choose to hate or love. One client was a
German POW who had chosen to love when he was beaten
unconscious. He met Jesus. When he came to he said in German to
the guard, "I love you." His wounds were immediately healed.
Some clients have memories as early as six months of age. One
homicide detective, Robert Snow, had a past-life regression from
which he collected 28 bits of information on his life as Carol
Beckwith. His investigation found 26 of those bits, proving the
case for him.
Her client, 'Kay', has a strong bond with a being that has
visited her since she was a child. When she was under serious
stress they appeared and answered her questions. Then she began
to consciously remember her encounters. Her cats that normally
sleep on her bed sleep elsewhere on nights the aliens come.
One client asked her spirit guide about her alien buddies. The
guide responded, "I would not let them perish. They are my
children also." When she asked to see them, four showed up.
During the Q&A session, she said ten is an ideal number for a
support group. You don't need to be licensed. Just practice
compassion.
Thursday - 4:30 to 6:30 PM
Dr. Jonathan Reed, co-author Robert Raith, and publicist Pamela
MacLeod sat on the stage for their highly controversial
presentation.
Reed gained some notoriety when he reported on Art Bell that he
had an alien in his garage for nine days in 1996.
Reed, who claims a Ph.D. in Developmental Research Psychology,
was hiking in the woods of Washington State when his dog Suzy
attacked an alien. He called her off with no effect. The alien
then mysteriously killed Suzy, causing Reed to hit it in the
head with a stick. Thinking that he killed it, after taking some
video and still shots of the alien and a strange black thing
nearby, he wrapped it in a thermal blanket and put it in his
freezer.
The story and its aftermath are detailed in their new book, 'Link
- An Extraterrestrial Odyssey'.
Reed said this talk was his show and tell, in spite of some
folks' actions to keep him from telling it. He said about 85% of
the evidence he gathered was taken from him.
Some who offered to help in analysis claimed to be from MUFON,
but they weren't.
Art Bell and Eastman Kodak have analyzed the film.
When he was lying beside the body feeling ill, he heard a
harmonic sound that led him to the black "obelisk". It felt like
very cold marble, and it was immovable. The tone changed to a
more pleasant sound after he touched it.
The alien had five fingers and was 4 1/2 feet tall. It only
weighed 50 pounds.
When he was making a video record of the alien, it partially
opened its eyes.
He was only recently convinced of this by Cole Larson. The alien
took water he was offered. The alien wore a black suit that
reminded him of wet spandex. When he cut the suit, it repaired
itself.
An artifact that he found near the body, he calls the Link. It
appeared to be bioreactive, and it is being analyzed in Japan by
a supportive group he calls the Alliance.
He said that after nine days another group in black suits and
vans had him fired, stole everything from his office and home
and erased much of his background. He lost his girlfriend.
His best friend, Gary, went into hiding and has withered from
200 pounds to 130. Dolly, an older lady who was keeping a
package for him was found dead on the kitchen floor. The package
was gone. The coroner said she died of natural causes.
He said that a "collector" offered over a million dollars for
all rights to the pictures. He did not accept.
Reed made a presentation to a group of 120 in San Diego. Four
days later a man on the street put a 9mm gun to his chest, and
when he tried to force it away it fired into his shoulder. The
man fled without a word. Reed thinks the man did not intend to
shoot him, just to scare him.
I don't know why anyone would want to make up a story like this.
I see some lessons for us here. Apparently a human nearly killed
an alien over a dog.
George Knapp - Investigative reporter and anchor at KLAS TV-8 in
Las Vegas was our speaker after dinner.
He provided some interesting information and the most humor of
the week. He is best known internationally for his TV
mini-series, 'UFOs - The Best Evidence'.
Before 'The Day After Roswell' was written, NIDS asked Knapp to
contact Corso and he taped hours of interviews. Knapp was
thinking about helping him write the book. Corso was reported to
have said, "We didn't do enough on the bodies. I had the money,
and I take the blame on that." He seemed to be interested in how
the brain worked.
One story involved Corso visiting a launch site at White Sands
Missile Range when he went into an old gold mine to cool off.
Water trickled out. He encountered an alien. He reached for his
gun, and heard in his head, "Don't!" He asked, friend or foe? It
responded, "Neither. It asked to have the range radar shut down
for 10 minutes. Corso asked, "What do I get?" The alien
responded, "A new world, if you can take it." Corso got into his
jeep and ordered the radar shut down. However, one radar site
did track an object departing at over 3000 mph.
At some point I think he reported seeing a smooth, cold saucer
on the ground that killed his motor and spun his compass.
Corso mentioned an autopsy at Walter Reed. He said the eyelid
was a light collector they used at night. They apparently had no
internal digestive system. Corso said some alien artifacts go to
Los Alamos now.
Knapp mentioned the recent lawsuit on burning wastes at Area 51.
As a result, EPA got their security manual, and it is now on the
Internet.
Friday
Peter Davenport - Director of the National UFO Reporting Center
since 1994
His broad education includes degrees from Stanford in Russian
and biology, an MS in genetics and biochemistry of fish, and an
MBA in finance and international business. He has worked as a
commercial fisherman, Russian translator, fisheries observer on
Soviet vessels, a flight instructor, and a businessman. He was
founding President of a Seattle-based biotech company that now
employs over 300.
He has personally observed UFOs at St. Louis in 1954, Baja in
1990, and Washington in 1992.
Davenport was pleased to introduce his web master, David Stepp.
He got a report from a federal employee of a of star-like UFOs
moving rapidly over the White House and gyrating in relation to
each other at 10:05 last Friday night.
One report involved an object moving from Main to New Jersey
that met with five other UFOs over Basking Ridge, Vermont. One
"dish with a bite out of the edge" went around an airplane.
Investigation of the very large V-shaped object over Phoenix
indicated that it; shined a brief beam of light to the ground,
it blurred the light of the moon as it passed, and close
inspection of one light looked like a "tornado of gold sparks."
He said the UFO that was observed by a large group to pick up an
elk, apparently dropped it unmarked.
Most amazing was a tremendous flare of light west of
Albuquerque, moving south, that flooded a 60-mile-wide path
brighter than daylight. Sky cameras at Sandia Lab picked it up,
and there were many witnesses. Apparently there was a second one
ten minutes later.
Davenport said that on 17 Mar 97 a man who apparently knew what
he was talking about said, "They are sophisticated craft under
intelligent control, and we are worried about them."
Wendelle Stevens - spoke about man-made flying saucers
He graduated from Lockheed Aircraft Maintenance & Repair School,
Aviation Cadet School, and Fighter Pilot Advanced Training all
as a very young 2nd lieutenant in the US Army Air Corps. Then he
attended the Test Pilot School where he learned to fly
everything in the Air Corps inventory and a few Navy aircraft as
well. Later he was assigned to the Ptarmigan Project, recording
and analyzing visual and EMF emissions throughout the Arctic.
Looking for influences to aircraft systems caused by UFOs, they
recorded all disturbances. This effort was quite productive, and
the data was hand carried to Washington, DC nightly.
Stevens owns the UFO Photo Archives, the largest of its kind in
private hands - over 3000 of them. He is a founding Director of
the IUFOC.
Stevens recalled early attempts by Vladimar Terzinski to speak
about Nazi flying saucers at our conference, but most people
were skeptical.
Then at a private meeting three years ago with Stan Dayo from
Australia he was inspired to study these man-made vehicles.
Stevens thought maybe 2% of the saucer sightings were man made,
when Dayo suggested 40%. Dayo was the AF Academy honor student
who, after completing his final exam, looked on his neighbor's
desk before turning it in. He reported this to the class monitor
and was summarily dismissed without a commission. A Senator then
referred him to the TRW Corp. that held a prime government
contract for gravity research. He was immediately hired. They
knew of his preparation by his Academy counsellor and
controllers. In the academy he had learned speed-reading in an
altered state of consciousness. He averaged 30 minutes per book.
The final exam event was apparently a recruiting technique for
masterminds to avoid military duty. He worked for TRW when they
solved the gravity control problem. Then he went to Pine Gap,
Australia. Stevens found several books on the subject: 'UFOs:
Nazi Secret weapons'; 'Genesis' by W. Harbenson (written as fiction
but 80% true); 'Man Made UFOs 1944-1994 - 50 Years of
Suppression'; and 'The German Saucer Story'.
Stevens reported on the German tech film of their Kugelblitz,
V-7 weapons research that the Australians acquired as war booty.
Two Kugelblitz failures were the Spitzbergen Island crash and
another on the coast near Heligoland. In both cases there was no
doubt to the origin, and the Americans and British carried away
much of the disk residue. The disk that came down 8 miles SE of
Laredo, TX was one of 32 Kugelblitz disks brought here from
Germany after the war. It was being tested from White Sands with
a rhesus monkey on board when they lost control.
Stevens mentioned some Haunebu ships about 100 feet in diameter,
and smaller 30-foot Grill class ships. There were apparently
nine secret bases in Germany working on anti-gravity vehicles.
One involved BMW.
Stevens even recalls seeing a map of the base locations in
recovered German documents while in the AF, but it was shredded.
After Hitler learned that he could not use these antigravity
vehicles in the war, he launched two expeditions to the
Antarctic led by Admiral Richard, one in 1938 and one in 1942
after the eastern front losses. The work on flying disks
continued there.
According to Meier case documents, Ptah said 334 members of a
secret German society continued the work that has remained
secret even today.
Stevens also mentioned that Adrian of the Miami contacts said he
and his girl friend were taken by Pleiadians to a secret base in
SW Brazil where they saw German style saucers parked on
pedestals.
And I recall from that case that Adrian was told that some of
the German scientists' children were raised on the Pleiades and
are now back here working for BMW. Finally, at last years
conference a retired NRO gentleman presented us privately a
picture labelled Haunebu 5, made by German, American, and
Aldebaran scientists in Antarctica.
James Guilliland - a teacher, spiritual counselor, and
energetic healer living at his Self Mastery Earth Institute, a
70-acre retreat at the base of Mt. Adams in Trout Lake, WA.
Commercial real estate made him a material success by age 26
when he had an ocean-surf NDE that changed his life. He is
author of 'Becoming Gods: A Reunion with the Source', and
'Becoming Gods II.'
For 12 years many strange things have been happening at the
retreat. One photo shows a bright light over a statue of Jesus
in the garden. He was facing west at 10 AM. Another shows a
golden-white light brighter and twice the diameter of
street lights. At 8 PM over Mt. Adams, Spar Giedeman, a member of
his group, made a video of a UFO that tribal police watched from
the other side of the mountain. Guilliland's guide said, "It is
not your job to defend these pictures."
He reported no fear at his sky watches; however, his Korean
friend was hit with an energy that caused many lesions. When he
asked his guides to help, all the lesions healed the next day.
He introduced Jim Dilettoso who sought him out to study his
spiritual encounters. Dilettoso said people could be trained to
advance their consciousness so that the OZ factor takes effect.
This is where some people see things when others near them
don't. He also studies others of the group at the retreat.
After Guilliland's NDE, his aura photo showed a powerful gold
light. One interesting photo showed energy waves coming to a
lady who had an astral face superimposed over hers. Local police
recognized the astral face as being someone who overdosed on
drugs at her place. She did not feel well until spirit
releasement therapy cleared her.
He said they teach compassion and love at the retreat, and he
reminded us that Jesus asked us to be kind to each other and the
planet.
Michael Newton, Ph.D. - holds a doctorate in counseling and is a
state-certified Master Hypnotherapist in California. He is
author of 'Journey of Souls: Case Studies of Life Between Lives'.
He learned to "see" into the spirit world through the mind's
eye of subjects who are in a hypnotized or super-conscious
state. He retired from a large regular practice in Los Angeles
to specialize at his secluded spot in Northern California. He
has a waiting list of over two years. He said it is amazing
what he can learn in three hours. His colleagues now say he has
gone New Age.
When he asked one lady if she had a group of friends that she
missed, she saw her soul group all in front of her in the spirit
world. Some soul groups seem small for fast learners, because
slower ones seem far away. When he asked one man who had been on
many worlds about sex, he said there is nothing like Earth for
sex. He said souls are of equal value no matter where they are
on the ladder. He often finds out why people were given their
bodies. One lady said she first came to Earth from the Pleiades
as a goat herder right after the flood, to repopulate the
planet. When a child dies very young, it may come back as the
mother's next child. Picking a body is like a stage play, and
many souls look at it that way. He closed quoting Shakespeare;
"All the World is a stage."
After Dinner
William Buhlman - author of Adventures Beyond the Body
He spoke on 'Out of Body Exploration and Alien Abduction'. He
said that after 30,000 people responded to his survey, he has
determined that there is an increasing amount of spontaneous
OBEs. There is a shift of consciousness occurring.
Years ago, after visualizing objects as he went to sleep for
four weeks, and he woke up feeling different. He said, "I
reached for the wall, and my hand went through it. I thought of
getting up, and I was immediately standing at the end of my bed
looking at my body lying there. We can all do it."
He said that historical records showing a bird leaving the body
depict an OBE state. He has been scared, shocked, and amazed but
never harmed in an OBE. He suggested that many people who have a
non-physical experience interpret it as physical. Here are some
common features he mentioned between OBEs and alien abductions;
humming, light with no obvious origin, sense of a presence,
strong state of vibration, paralysis, missing time, another
reality, and many beings present.
Then an OBE meditation was practiced.
Saturday
Graham Birdsall and Russell Callaghan made the first
presentation.
Birdsall is editor and publisher of UK's UFO Magazine'.
Callaghan is their web master and videographer.
They presented some excellent photos and video, and then gave a
behind-the-scenes preview of the new international UFO exhibit
that will eventually travel to six continents.
Birdsall said that British TV covered well the recent mutilation
of sheep there.
At the Farnborough Air Show people were asked not to film the
rear of the B-2. When the press asked why, they were told, "That
is the sensitive part." The pilot said they refuelled twice, but
the second time was only because they did not want to refuel
there on the ground.
They showed excellent film of underwater ruins near Japan with a
base the size of the great pyramid. It was as high as a six-
story building and had hieroglyphics around the base.
The new UFO exhibit, 'Phenomena', was open in Australia and is
on a world tour this year. "It has the power to change the way
we think about the subject."" It covers 12,000 square feet of
space. It will be in Sydney through the Olympic games, and is
promoted by Fox. One guy controls 95% of the money. Franchises
have been invited in, and they are cloning five exhibits to
cover the world.
There were many good videos, including some from NASA. One
showed a flying saucer with a smaller one coming off of the
bottom and departing left. Another video showed a grub-like UFO
- very strange.
Santiago Yturria Garza - founded the first UFO Research Group in
Monterey, Mexico in 1974.
He has amassed the largest UFO video and photo archive in
Mexico. He said the Mexico UFO wave is still increasing.
One TV reporter announced that there was a UFO in the sky,
please go out and video it. It remained still at 10,000 feet for
30 minutes. An airline pilot also saw it.
In April '98 a forest fire became one of Mexico's worst
ECO-disasters of the century. A cigar shaped object appeared
near the fire.
One impressive video showed a hamburger-shaped object, black
with white in the middle and a light on top. Then the white part
turned red.
Garza said the Mexican population seems to relate well with the
phenomenon, and they are not afraid.
The Final Speaker
Daniel Sheehan - has degrees from Harvard in government, law,
and divinity. He established the Christic Institute in
Washington, DC, and has been legal counsel on many high -profile
cases such as; Karen Silkwood, Iran/Contra, the American
Sanctuary Movement, the Pentagon Papers, Three Mile Island
pollution, and Watergate.
He has gained access to many restricted government files.
An impressive man whose curly hair reminded me of judge's wig.
Today he is General Counsel to Joe Firmage's International Space
Sciences Organizations, and he heads the Strategic Institute to
Define a New Paradigm.
He wants to integrate the fact of the ET presence into all
classical fields of human knowledge: Cosmology, Theology,
Philosophy, Physical Science, Psychology, Ontology,
Epistemology, Human Teleology, etc.
He also wins the prize for the presentation with the longest
title; 'The Probability of a Public Encounter with ET
Intelligence in the 21st century and the Public Policy
Implications of Such ET Contact on American Foreign Policy,
American Military Policy, and American National Security
Policy.'
Sheehan represented Dr. John Mack, chair of Harvard's Dept. of
Clinical Psychology, when the University tried to fire him after
he published Abduction; Human Encounters with Aliens. Mack tried
to publish an article on his research in the New England Journal
of Medicine, but the editorial board would not even consider it,
so he wrote the book.
Sheehan, funded by Lawrence Rockefeller, resolved the case
against Mack quickly.
In 1987 he became Chief Counsel for the Jesuit National H.Q.. They
asked him to get UFO information from the Vatican.
While seeking information about Carter's 21 Jan 77 UFO sighting
from George Bush, then Director of the CIA, Bush said that a
congressional committee would have to ask the Library of
Congress to declassify the information for a report to the
President.
He once asked the Washington Inter-religious Council staff to
consider the UFO/ET presence and was met with total silence.
He was asked by the Gorbachev Foundation to try to clarify the
UFO/ET facts that pertain to public policy.
He hosted a round table at the October 1999 State of the World
Forum that included 24 people, such as; John Mack, Depak Chopra,
Jean Houston, Joe Firmage, Hal Puthof, Wink Franklin of IONS,
Rick Tarnis, Sam Keen, etc. They even appeared before the entire
group of 1000 world leaders.
Sheehan said that many members of the human family are not
properly prepared for open contact with ET. He sees two major
risks; some covert military group may be preparing to engage
militarily and some people may be so unprepared they may become
totally subservient. Neither is appropriate.
Sheehan mentioned 12 separate premises that we can discuss this
year, such as:
1. We should accept the 1979 Congressional Report to Carter
saying that ET exists. There are two to six highly intelligent,
technological species in our galaxy.
2. If there had been contact with our government, they would not
have told us.
3. People have different paradigms depending on their
worldviews: authoritarian, reactionary, conservative, moderate,
liberal, progressive, or mystical. You can't convince the first
three to not treat ET as a threat.
Then he mentioned eight possible origins of UFOs with his
assessment of probability; 51% ET civilization either positive
or negative, 40% super secret government or private contact, 5%
PSY-OPS operation, 2% spiritual phenomenon, 1% time travel, and
1% either extra-dimensional manifestations or projections into
another reality.
He said we are at a special time in history. Dr. Fugiama
announced that the western civilization has a short time to
fulfill its promises to the people of the world or they will
look elsewhere.
Then he mentioned the high level debate between Zbigniew
Brzezinski, cofounder of the Trilateral Commission, and
conservative Samuel P. Huntington, former Editor of Foreign
Affairs.
He closed by saying we must show ET the major qualities of
humanity. We need a public interest group with chairs for the ET
presence, the environment, peace, etc. And we must stop
attacking each other's positions.
He received great applause.
The Films, Videotapes, and The EB Awards!
On Saturday night seven of the 11 films that entered the film
festival shared 9 EBE statues.
Ken Seddington, the Congress Director from the United Kingdom,
had selected and supervised the panel of judges who watched all
of the films, and he introduced the producers who were present
for the showing. We appreciate the efforts of all of the judges.
'Close Encounters: Proof of Alien Contact' produced by Chris
Wyatt & Lela Vandavier won for Best UFO Documentary - Short
Subject.
'UFOs and Cosmic Dimensions - Above Top Secret' produced by Yin
Gazda won for Best UFO Documentary - Long Subject.
'The Secret of Nikola Tesla', directed by Kristo Papic
in Zagreb Film Studios, Croatia won Best Feature Film - UFO or
Related Theme.
'Expressions of ET Contact: A Visual Blueprint' produced by
Bradley DeNise and directed by Mary Rodwell won Best
Abductee/Contactee Documentary and Best Musical Score within a
Documentary.
'UFOs - The Footage Archives Part 5 (1998 - 1999)' produced by
Michael Hesemann & Natalia Zahradnikova was chosen Best UFO
Footage (Stills or Live) within a Documentary.
'Mystery of the Crop Circles' Produced by Georgio Bongiovanni
and directed by Piergiorgio Caria won THE PEOPLES CHOICE AWARD
and Best Non-UFO Documentary in a Related Field. It was a real
pleasure to watch this film.
Also, among the four entries that did not receive an EBE
statue, I found Joe Escamilla's 'Rods: The Smoking Gun' very
interesting. Those 'rods' that seem to defy our physics make me
wonder if they consist of a different kind of matter, perhaps a
morontia material as mentioned in 'The Urantia Book'.
On Saturday night we seated 500 for an excellent buffet and
great social experiences, helped by ample red and white wine on
the tables.
I truly appreciate the wonderful technical crew, the staff, and
especially Bob and Teri Brown for their great effort to bring us
together for wonderful fellowship and learning experiences twice
each year.
