A 1970 UFO Encounter in Norway

by UFO Author, Charles Lear 

In the April 1971 issue (page 6 of the pdf) No. 1-2 of the Scandinavian Newsletter, published by UFO-Sweden, there is an article headlined “I met a flying saucer.” According to the abstract, the report that follows was first published in the Norwegian weekly magazine Hjemmet and translated into English by Anton Lidström of the Trondheim UFO Society. The case involves an encounter with a flying saucer reported by a man who said he came upon it while driving near Helleland, Norway, at around 5:30 p.m. on October 29, 1970. According to the report, the encounter left him without a windshield, and he seemed to have suffered some physical effects as well. Read more

Bowing Out of UAP Crossfire

by Martin Willis

Thank you all for participating in the Thursday, UAP Crossfire Show!

A recent listener survey revealed that a majority of listeners thought I should distance myself from UAP Crossfire, mostly because of rants and politics. We are a divided country and if you speak on a show like this of either Trump or Biden | Republicans or Democrats, YOU ALIENATE HALF THE LISTENERS. Case in point; in some of the messages I have been getting; people are degrading me because of their assumptions of my political stance. I have warned the show producer repeatedly that if the show kept jumping into politics of any kind, I am out. I am not blaming this on the producer, because he has attempted to get this reeled in. Politics is not what I came to the UAP Crossfire to talk about. In my opinion, if there is not a direct link relating to UFOs/UAP that includes politics, it has no business on the show. The co-host I have an issue with, and everyone else has a right to their opinions. I respect freedom of speech, but there are other suitable platforms for political opinions. I will probably run some type of show on some Thursdays at 7:00PM ET. Crossfire shall continue with someone taking my place: https://kgradb.com/uap-crossfire/
THANK YOU FOR READING.

The First Scientific UFO Field Study

by Author, Charles Lear 

UFOs were big news in 1973. Besides the Pascagoula and the Coyne incidents, there were flaps all over the United States. One in Piedmont, Missouri, got started that year in late February with UFO reports involving cars stalling and radio interference. These caught the attention of a physics professor, Harley D. Rutledge, who was chairman of that department at Southeast Missouri State University at Cape Girardeau. Rutledge became fascinated to the point that he put together an investigation team of scientists, arranged funding, and ended up spending more than seven years observing unexplained lights while collecting data and photographs. In late 1973, he gave a presentation of what he and the group had gathered up to that point at the fall meeting (attended by John Schuessler of the Mutual UFO Network) of the Missouri section of the American Association of Physics Teachers. Rutledge finally published a book describing the investigation titled Project Identification: The First Scientific Field Study of UFO Phenomena in 1981. Read more

UFOs After Project Blue Book

by Author, Charles Lear 

Seamans with Wernher von Braun and President Kennedy at Cape Canaveral 1963

On December 17, 1969, a news release from the Office of Assistant Secretary of Defense (Public Affairs) announced the termination of Project Blue Book. According to the document, Secretary of the Air Force Robert C. Seamans Jr. stated in a memo to Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. John D. Ryan that “the continuation of Project Blue Book cannot be justified either on the ground of national security or in the interest of science.” An early indication that this was coming was Dr. J. Allen Hynek, a scientific consultant for Project Blue Book for the entirety of its existence and Projects Sign and Grudge before it, finding out that there was nothing for him in the budget for the upcoming year. Of course, not everyone agreed with the Air Force’s decision and people continued seeing UFOs, but they no longer had an official organization prepared to take reports. Read more

The Dyatlov Pass Incident, Teddy Hadjiyska

Teddy (Teodora) Hadjiyska has the most comprehensive website on the mysterious Dyatlov Pass Incident: http://dyatlov-pass.com/page.php?lang… WE EXPERIENCED INTERNET ISSUES, and apologize for the audio. The Dyatlov Pass incident (Russian: Гибель тургруппы Дятлова) is the mysterious deaths of nine ski hikers in the northern Ural Mountains on February 2, 1959. The group consisted of eight men and two women. Most were students or graduates of Ural Polytechnical Institute. The goal of the 14 day expedition was to reach Otorten (1234.2m), a mountain 10 kilometers north of the site of the incident. This route, at that season, was estimated as “Category III”, the most difficult. All members were experienced in long ski tours and mountain expeditions. The group arrived by train at Ivdel, a city at the center of the northern province of Sverdlovsk Oblast on January 25. They then took a truck to Vizhay – the last inhabited settlement so far north. They started their march toward Otorten from Vizhay on January 27. The next day, one of the members – Yuri Yudin, was forced to go back because of illness. Diaries and cameras found around their last camp made it possible to track group’s route up to the day preceding the incident.
