ALMOST EVERYTHING YOU'RE TOLD IS WRONG:

ENVIRONMENTAL SPACE SCIENCES is a book written by Professor and
Colonel Donald G. Carpenter who was the originator of the Space
Science Course taught at the USAF Academy.  He also served as
the Commander of the SPACETRACK Radar Site at Shemya, Alaska.
Colonel Carpenter was kind enough to send Eastern MUFON the
book he edited and wrote with six other officers.  He questions
some of the laws of physics if we assume UFOs are real.  The
last chapter of his book is titled Unidentified Flying Objects
and reads in part.

"It is obvious that intensive scientific study is needed in
this area; no such study has yet been undertaken at the
necessary levels of intensity needed.  Something that must be
guarded against in any such study is the trap of implicitly
assuming that our knowledge of Physics (or any other branch of
science) is complete.  An example of one such trap is selecting
a group of physical laws, which we now accept as valid, and
assume that they will never be superseded.  Five such laws
might be:

1. Every action must have an opposite and equal reaction.

2. Every particle in the universe attracts every other particle
with a force proportional to the product of the masses and
inversely as the square of the distance.

3. Energy, mass and momentum are conserved.

4. No material body can have a speed as great as c, the speed
of light in free space.

5. The maximum energy, E, which can be obtained from a body at
rest is E=mc2, where m is the rest mass of the body.

Laws numbered 1 and 3 seem fairly safe, but let us hesitate and
take another look. Actually, law number 3 is only valid (now)
from a relativistic viewpoint; and for that matter so are laws
4 and 5.  But relativity completely revised these physical
concepts after 1915, before then Newtonian mechanics were
supreme.  We should also note that general relativity has not
yet been verified.  Thus we have the peculiar situation of five
laws which appear to deny the possibility of intelligent alien
control of UFO's, yet three of the laws are recent in concept
and may not even be valid.  Also, law number 2 has not yet been
tested under conditions of large relative speeds or
accelerations.  We should not deny the possibility of alien
control of UFO's on the basis of preconceived notions not
established as related or relevant to the UFO's.  Pages
690-691.

The NEW SCIENTIST article "SEEDS OF LIFE" January 22, 2000,
reports, "The building blocks of DNA could have formed in space
before the Earth was born, providing a starter kit of genetic
material for life to evolve rapidly on Earth, claim
astro-chemists in India.  Their computer models of chemicals
evolving in space may explain why life emerged only 600 million
years after the Earth formed 4.5 billion years ago.  The model
also suggests that comets are packed with the building blocks
of life.  If true, it backs up the idea that comets seed when
they smash into planets.  Sandip Chakrabarti and his wife
Sonali at the S. N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences in
Calcutta modeled how chemicals would evolve in an interstellar
cloud collapsing under gravity over a million years.  The model
began with a typical cloud 7 light years across, containing a
dozen elements including hydrogen, carbon, oxygen and nitrogen.
The computer worked out the variations and at the end of the
simulation, the cloud was littered with adenine predicting
Earth would have been showered with millions of tons of the
DNA.  "DNA produced in the collapsing cloud could have
contaminated the Earth," the Chakrabartis will report in the
journal Astronomy and Astrophysics. "There should be many such
planets in each galaxy where DNA-based life should flourish."
(But the idea remains controversial since it shoots holes in
the Theory of Evolution, that life started by accident on
Earth.)

Tom Millar of the University of Manchester Institute of Science
and Technology, database of chemical reactions formed the basis
of the new work.  British researchers who suggested in 1977,
that the ingredients of life originated in space and were
dispersed by comets are delighted by the Indian findings. "It's
yet another indication that the chemical feedstock of life
could be produced throughout the Universe, and nothing on Earth
would reproduce that grandeur of scale," says Chandra
Wickramasinghe of the University of Wales at Cardiff, who
suggested the idea along with his colleague Fred Hoyle.  Thanks

DNA MOLECULES MAY BE FROM SPACE

Colin Jordan writes concerning your FF-#4, Dr. Francis Crick
won the Nobel Prize for helping to discover 'the structure of
DNA,' the master molecule of life.  He now believes that the
'origin of life' was from space.  I was doing some reading
recently and came across some surprising statements from Dr.
Crick, made more remarkable still given his professional
achievements.  I think there is a prejudice among scientists
regarding current evolutionary theories.  Many of them have
spent their careers considering the theory to be scientific
fact and are loath to let that go.  Their need to cling to that
theory at all costs smacks more of faith than science.  Besides
the evidence that there was but a single genetic code, there is
also the issue of so-called "simple" cell complexity.  Crick
wanted to determine the probability that even a single molecule
of DNA could come into existence by chance.  The probability
for transition from inanimate to animate would be ten to the
40,000 th power.  Mathematically speaking, anything above ten
to the 50th power is considered statistically impossible,
because the sum total of all the electrons in the universe is
only ten to the fifty-second power.  Apparently the average
biological scientist is more concerned with not being wrong
rather than discovering what is true.  cjordan@gte.net (Colin
Jordan)

Red Setter writes, "People today are very poor at real
thinking: whether in astronomy, evolution, physics, UFOs, etc.
We are no more correct than in Galileo's day, yet many
scientists tell me that "we know so much that we can't be
wrong!"  And friends can't believe there is any real UFO
phenomenon, or else "the press would have reported it!"  So
don't worry if they criticize you, because their brains are
programmed by intensive indoctrination.  See the new book
"Galileo's Daughter" by Dava Sobel.  "It claims it was
academics that persecuted Galileo, not the Church."  Thanks to
Red Setter.


CONNECTICUT UFO

My friend and I went out to a club, then  stopped for McDonalds
on the way home on January 15, 2000.  We arrived home around
2:45 AM and pulled into her drive way.  Since it was very cold,
I asked her to keep her car running so we could wait inside
until my car warmed up.  I got out of her car, and started my
car.  As I got back into her car, I noticed a bright light went
on.  I thought it was her house flood lights turning on
automatically. The next thing we remember was that it was 2
hours and 45 minutes later, Neither of us had a clue as to what
happened, except for the fact we both were unconscious for
almost 3 hours.  Both of our cars were still running and
neither of us had any physical evidence of abduction.  We were
not drunk nor on drugs. The next day, I told a friend my story
and they checked my neck and back and found a small circle of
five punctures in my upper back/lower neck.  I was told that
this was common in abductions.  I am afraid for my well being.

TENNESSEE DISC FADES IN AND OUT

BRENTWOOD -- On January 10, 2000, I saw an unidentified flying
object at about 500 feet altitude above the Brentwood Middle
School at 9:15 AM.  As I drove along I had a totally
unobstructed view of this object about 1/2 a mile away until
Murray Lane became divided by a tree line.  As I drove along
the object appeared to be keeping pace with the speed of my
car.  The object then faded out of sight. The UFO had no wings,
was silver pewter in color, and made no noise.  After turning
left onto Franklin Road I saw it again as it flew pacing my car
at the exact same distance and altitude.  I had a totally
unobstructed view of the UFO as it flew low over a farmer's
field.  Again the object faded from my view, then three seconds
later reappeared.  I watched this object for another 12
seconds, until it faded from view for the last time. There also
seemed to be an aura or hazy like disturbance in the air around
the craft each time it faded from view.  Thanks to Peter
Davenport NUFORC www.ufocenter.com


FLORIDA

CLEARWATER -- Nimlok writes,  "A few years ago, I was sitting
on the back porch of my parents house having a party with four
other relatives."  It was around 8:30 PM, a very hot but clear
night.  All of a sudden, we all jumped to our feet and watched
a UFO land right behind our house in a huge orange grove.  I
saw the bright lights and colors.  The others described it as a
"sphere" that had multi colored chasing lights around the band
of the UFO.  It made no noise and then just vanished into thin
air.  My aunt, uncle and grandfather all saw this at the same
time.  We jumped into our cars hoping to get another glimpse,
but it was gone. Geographically, we are in a perfect position
for these sightings and most people around this area have seen
something strange. Thanks to Tiffany Stratton


ALABAMA COUPLE SEES UFO

TILLMANS CORNER - On December 28, 1999, Lynn L. and her husband
were outdoors in Southern Alabama when they saw a UFO.  "My
husband and I were looking at the moon, and saw what we thought
was a moving star.  I got out of the car and looked at it.  Two
large bright lights were in front, with a red light in the
middle.  "It wasn't a plane, since it flew over us at a very
slow speed, and made no sound" Lynn added, "The object was at
an altitude of about 1,200 feet and was triangular in shape,
with green and red lights." The aft-end was huge.  "It looked
like the were two big shapes on either end of it in the back."
After the couple drove home, she added, "Strange things
happened later that night in my house."  "I know it sounds
strange but a houseplant that I'd had for years turned up
missing that same night.  It just disappeared."  Lynn found the
flowerpot, but the plant and the pot's soil were missing.
Hillmans Corner is eleven miles south of Mobile. Thanks to UFO

ILLINOIS UFO INVESTIGATION CONTINUES

I called Peter Davenport at the National UFO Reporting Center
and spoke with John Alexander at National Institute for
Discovery Science (NIDS).  Their investigation has now located
eight witnesses who observed the UFO in Southern Illinois east
of St. Louis.  Some of the police were chasing the UFO at
speeds up to, 80 mph.  The UFO moved very slowly at an
estimated 20 mph.  Then suddenly streaked 8 miles in 3 seconds,
according to the witnesses.  Craig Stevens in Milstadt saw it
to the west of him seem to suddenly jump twenty to thirty
miles.  Assuming the witnesses were correct the craft moved at
9600 mph.  The object was described as like a guitar pick with
panel of lights red or pinkish lights.  The aft-end of the
craft was lit up indicating some type of the propulsion system.

Kenny Young interviewed Craig Stevens from the Millstadt Police
Department.  Craig said, "I was the Officer in Millstadt that
witnessed the object at 4:28 AM on January 5, 2000."    #1 - I
feel that the testimony of four possibly five police officers
is very credible, considering that we are trained observers.
Our credibility has to be justifiable since we testify in a
court of law.  We watch things on a daily basis, and have to
report our findings in evidence, and reports.  I feel I have
done this by attempting to capture the photo that morning, and
immediately returning to the department to report my findings
in a report, and making a drawing.  Sketches of the object are
shown on the NIDS web site at http://www.accessnv.com/nids.
For detailed investigation, sketches, route of flight see this
excellent report.  Thanks to Kenny Young, John Alexander and
Peter Davenport who have all done excellent work on this case.


CALIFORNIA FLYING TRIANGLE

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE -- Billy Dee reports that a witness
writes, "Sightings seem to be picking up again.  Although.  I'm
wondering if it has anything to do with the airliner going down
off the coast.  The last time it was real active here was when
the Egyptian airliner went down.  On January 31, 2000, I saw
another large triangular craft over the base.  It was outlined
with several very bright, non-blinking, red lights.  Just like
the last one, this one tilted to a completely vertical position
and flew like this for quite some time.  It then rotated back
to horizontal, flew back and forth, and then descending
straight down.  Last night, I was watching a fighter over the
base, when I noticed two dimly lit objects about a quarter of a
mile in front of it.  These objects were moving very
erratically, back and forth, and up and down.  The fighter
appeared to maintain a steady distance behind them as they
circled the base.  I lost sight of the objects briefly behind a
tree, but could still see the fighter's lights through the
tree.  I then saw the two objects coming out from behind the
tree, still moving erratically.  They suddenly got very bright,
changing from an amber color to a bluish white, and literally
shot out of sight to the north over the base. They disappeared
in less than a second.  The fighter did some tight maneuvering,
circled around a couple of times, and then landed.  Because of
these two sightings, I'll be out again tonight, and well keep
you informed.  God bless. Thanks to BillyDee@ufossi.org.


ROBED HOODED ALIENS

Darlene writes, "Please tell me if the suggested responses to
contacts of this type are of the "tongue-in-cheek" variety or
just plain sarcasm.  Unless I'm denser than I think I am, I can
not see why there would be meteorite powder, silicon or other
residue left behind by visitation; nor can I believe that such
acts as contacting the police or contacting newspapers, etc.,
would produce anything but disbelief, and ridicule.  Thanks to
dcs

Editors' Notes: Thanks for your note; Well sometimes a little
ridicule gives you a boost of courage.  I go on radio several
times a week, and I'm often ridiculed over my research.  To my
knowledge not one abductee has ever contacted the police or
their congressman about their abductions.  When I talk to
police they act very interested and claim they would enjoy such
a case.  We have numerous police and military officers joining
MUFON and other organizations hoping to find answers.  Both
Derrel Simms and my investigators have found silver powder on
abductees.  We have noticed other anomalies indicating evidence
is being left behind.  For any of us to be believed we need
evidence.  We now have thousands of tape recordings of
abductee's stories, but without real solid evidence they are
considered interesting dreams.  We have stayed up all night
watching abductee homes, spent hours video taping,
interviewing, discussing, watching videos, but little real
tangible evidence has been obtained.  We are aware the
abductees seem programmed to destroy the evidence.

Many investigators spend their time and efforts as unpaid
volunteers trying to solve this mystery.  If I pick up the
phone and make long distance call, drive to an abductee's home,
video tape, it costs both time and money.  I encourage
abductees to collect evidence or call experts in for help.  We
have indications that some abductees may be harmed during an
abduction.  This can be checked with a blood tests and a
physician's examination.  Most abductees will not get tested,
despite the fact they have insurance coverage.  There are
indications that black light can pick up a silver like powder
left behind, and other tiny objects.  If you give credence to
Dr. David Jacobs from Temple University the future of the human
race may be at stake.  I don't think its funny, and I'm not
poking fun.  The craft in my opinion are real.  We may not be
sure what their aircrews are doing here.  However, they are
spending in real terms billions of dollars, their time and
health to be here. I wonder why?  I don't think it is a game
for either side.  More definitive research is needed.


MARS POLAR LANDER CERTIFICATE

Aaron G. Crossley, Jr. writes, "My name is included in a data
tape that was sent to Mars aboard NASA's Polar Lander.  MSFC
passed around a signup sheet for names to be put on the Mars
Polar Lander.  The requirement was that you had to be 18 or
under to get your name on the tape so I signed up.  Kind of
makes you wonder are Martians reading my name off a datatape as

AUSTRALIA FLYING TRIANGLE

ENDEAVOR HILLS -- VICTORIA -- Peter Ho reports he saw a large V
shaped UFO on January 2, 2000.  Peter went outside to feed his
dogs his 10:50 PM and decided to relax and do a bit of
stargazing, He noticed a large, solid black V shaped object
blocking out the Big Dipper constellation.  There were dim
orange lights along the front of the object.  He could hear no
sounds.  Peter estimates it was five times bigger than a Jumbo
Jet.  He sighted the object for four seconds before it
disappeared from view.  Thanks to Alice Mitchell AUFORN Keith

SOUTH VIETNAM UNDERWATER UFO

GULF OF SIAM -- Joseph Foster writes, "In mid April of 1970, we
were anchored four miles off shore on the US Coast Guard Cutter
Mellon.  The Captain authorized swim call in the late afternoon
and I had the watch with a M-16 rifle on the flying bridge to
guard for sharks.  The swimming party was diving off the main
deck into the water and swimming to a raft. Eight of us and the
Captain were watching the 20 swimmers when our attention was
drawn to a large underwater object, that slowly moved directly
under the ship. The object was an elliptical shaped dark
shadow, that was by our estimate was 90 feet in length and 30
feet wide.  It was about 50 feet deep and moving perpendicular
to the axis of our ship.  The entire sighting lasted no more
than 20 or 30 seconds. The men in the water had no idea that a
large object cruised directly under them. We ruled out whale
shark or whale because there was no gyration of a tail or any
other appendages visible.

Our crew also had other UFO sightings.  During our July, we
sere on Ocean Station Victor patrol, when we had radar contact
with three targets traveling at speeds in excess of 3000 mph
halfway between Midway Island and Japan.  Eight crewman saw
three white lights traveling southwest in a 'v' formation. A
sitrep report was filed.  Our second sighting took place in May
of 1970 while we were 600 miles east of Guam.  One of my duties
as Quartermaster was celestial navigation.  On the 4 - 8 shift,
I had to shoot morning and evening stars.  I was with the
Captain 'shooting' the stars, when we noticed a bright shiny
perfect sphere that seemed to have the consistency of liquid
mercury. The object was traveling west southwest at 100 knots
at an altitude of 2500 feet.

In Honolulu, I made friends with a Fleet Intelligence Yeoman,
who stated, "We receive thousands of UFO reports from US Navy
ships."  UFOs come in and out of the water and fly directly in
front of our ships.  Thanks to Joseph Foster

WINDOW IN OUTER SPACE

R. G. Nicholas writes, "My girlfriend and I were lying on the
hood of my car, just looking at the stars quietly on calm,
clear, beautiful starlit night.  I noticed four stars spaced
evenly apart from each other like the points at the corner's of
a window, it was a perfect square in space.  All at once a
light appeared at the lower right star and swiftly moved
diagonally up to the upper left corner star.  Within seconds it
just as quickly returned to whence it had come.  It moved
really fast for the amount of area it had to cover between
point A and point B.  I'm sure it traveled from star to star,
and those objects that I saw traverse that amount of distance
that night were not from earth.  I'll never forget it because I
was wide-awake and 100% sober.  Thanks to: NicholasRG


CHINA HAS FIRST UFO OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM

UFOs kicked off the New Millennium with the surprise appearance
of a daylight disc on New Year's Day.  At about 6:30 a.m.
Beijing time on Saturday, January 1, 2000, a silver-gray UFO
appeared over the Great Wall of China.  It hovered, and was
captured by Cable News network (CNN) TV cameras and broadcast
live in the USA.  Eyewitness M. Lamb was watching the CNN
coverage "when CNN showed a shot of the Great Wall of China at
sunrise. When they cut to the shot, there was a gray orb
floating over the wall.  Then it floated to the right, then up.
CNN cut away from the shot without any explanation of the
floating object.  It was silver and appeared to float or glide
without any means of propulsion."

Taiwan Radar is reporting that they have been picking up
Unidentified Flying Objects coming from China towards Taiwan at
around 24,000 feet.  The latest report was on January 29, 2000,
creating new tensions in the region.  The objects that may be
balloons could create a threat to commercial traffic.  Thanks

CAUS WINS FIRST ROUND IN UFO CASE

Citizens Against UFO Secrecy (CAUS) announced that, in a
stunning and surprising defeat for the government and its
proponents of secrecy, a US District Court Judge in Phoenix,
Arizona, rebuked a Department of Defense attempt to deny a
group of UFO activists the opportunity to argue its case in
court.  In the federal lawsuit, Judge Stephen M. McNamee,
ignoring Department of Defense plea to dismiss the case
outright, set February 7th at 10:00 a.m. for arguments on the
adequacy of the government's search for information about an
unusual aerial object.  Thanks to Peter A. Gersten;

SHUTTLE SPOTS UFO

Investigator Tom Sheets writes, "I just reviewed the tape of a
June 1999, shuttle mission footage that was sent me via ISUR.
There is a shockingly dramatic event on there that makes all
the other shuttle stuff (STS-48 and 80) look like fireflies.
There is a BIG glowing orb that flies by one of the solar
panels of either the space station or a satellite (the SS I
think, we need a space 'expert' to look at it).  This thing
must be huge; it is obviously glowing brightly, seemingly
round, you can almost see the disc shape, and seems to give off
glowing propulsion like contrail.  I don't think it's a meteor,
this is in orbit, not in the atmosphere, but I could be wrong
if distance to the object is great and shot was from above.  I
need some more opinions.  It was from the June shuttle mission.
There are many other smaller objects on parts of the tape,
stuff like on STS-48 and 80 footage.  One video of note shows a
large glowing orb comes into the frame, the astronaut starts to
use zoom on it, and the controller switches away.  Thank to
Toms Sheets ISUR Board Member.  Editor's Note: We are trying to
get some of these videos on our web site.  They look like UFOs
to me, but further analysis is needed.
