A 1940 UFO and Alien Encounter Report

admin

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear 

While June 24, 1947, marks the beginning of the modern-day UFO mystery, claims of earlier encounters and incidents, Maury Island for example, are found throughout the literature. One such case is that of Udo Wartena, a Dutch immigrant working as a miner for the Northwest Mining Syndicate in Broadwater County, Montana. Wartena claimed that in 1940, an alien invited him to go on board a huge flying saucer.

The case came to light in the 1990s, and is based on the testimony of Wartena just before he died in 1989. Prior to this, he reportedly kept the story to himself, not even telling his wife. It was included in the 1993 book, Aliens and UFOs by James L. Thompson. Australian researcher Warren P. Aston looked into it after reading the book and presented his findings at the July 1997 Mutual UFO Network International Symposium in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Read more →

BIO: Ryan Kralik is an author, researcher, and communications strategist whose work examines the foundations of physics, consciousness, and culture through an information-first lens. Drawing on principles from systems theory, quantum physics, and cognitive science, he explores how information behaves as the underlying architecture of reality—linking the physical, biological, and mental worlds into a single coherence-driven process. His forthcoming book, It From Us – An Information-First Framework and the Purpose of Consciousness, presents a model in which matter, life, and awareness are emergent expressions of information organizing itself toward stability and meaning. A trained remote viewer and lifelong investigator of anomalies, Kralik approaches questions about UAPs, psi phenomena, and consciousness with the same analytical rigor he applies to communication and technology—seeking a unified, evidence-based understanding of how reality encodes experience.

BIO: Bill Chalker Intrigued by UFO reports since about 1966, when his home town of Grafton, in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, became the focus of UFO activity that attracted national headlines, Bill began undertaking deeper research and investigations from 1969, when his home region of northern NSW again became the focus of UFO reports. The 1969 publication of the notorious Condon Report, which concluded that there was nothing of scientific value in studying UFOs, had a different effect on Bill. Unlike most, he examined the massive report and realised there was a massive disconnection between the conclusions and the actual case studies. More than a third of their cases were unexplained. This set Bill on a deeper investigation of the UFO enigma. He joined the American based APRO (Aerial Phenomena Research Organisation) group, which confirmed his growing awareness of the global dimensions of the UFO mystery.

PART II: The Rise and Fall of Interest in the British Crop Circle Mystery

admin

In last week’s blog, we looked at the beginning of the modern crop circle phenomenon that first got the attention of the media and UFO researchers in 198o. This was described in the 1986 report compiled by Paul Fuller and Jenny Randles (written by Randles) for the British UFO Research Association titled Mystery of the Circles. According to Randles, the idea that UFOs had something to do with the mystery came from the fact that the first circles appeared in the West Country in the area of Warminster, which had become famous in the 60’s as a UFO hotspot. When we left off, that idea was falling out of favor with researchers, particularly Ian Mrzyglod of the newly formed organization, PROBE, who is quoted from the March 1982, Vol. 2, No. 4, PROBE Report: “…even to suggest that the flattened circles were UFO landing nests is wildly speculative wishful thinking, without any foundation.” After a lull in attention in 1982, things picked up after eight sets of five circles appeared that were made up of one large circle surrounded by four smaller circles at equidistant locations. Prior to this, there had been only single circles or two or three in a row.

Playing a large part in the media attention was the fact that the circles appeared in the summer, often called the silly season due to the fact that stories of a less-than-serious nature are used as filler in the midst of what is traditionally a slow news period. And, it did get silly. One example presented by Randles is Daily Express columnist Jean Rook being sent to one of the sites “to come up with a lovely, poetic ode to ‘E.T.,’” the titular alien from the movie. According to Randles, Rook “found physical evidence of his presence in the midst of one of the rings – a poppy.”

Randles emphasizes that “serious UFO investigators refused to get involved” and notes that she, herself, refused to appear on BBC and ITV television, even though she had a new book to promote, The Pennine UFO Mystery. Read more →

The Rise and Fall of Interest in the British Crop Circle Mystery

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear 

Jenny Randles

Within UFOlogy, there are several areas of specialization, such as abductions, landing traces, humanoids, contactees, military encounters, etc. They often have their own specialized literature put out by individual researchers or organizations, and many have come and gone in terms of popular fascination and press coverage. One aspect that has fallen by the wayside is crop circle research, also known as “cereology.” Its early history, and the reasons for it falling out of favor with the press, and even among UFOlogists, is summed up neatly in the 1986 report, Mystery of the Circles, “compiled by” by Paul Fuller and Jenny Randles (Randles is the writer) for the British UFO Association. Of course, their report didn’t put an immediate end to the phenomenon or the activity of researcher/investigators who were focused on it, but it did presage the eventual waning of interest to where very few in the community continue to consider it seriously as having anything to do with UFOs.

According to Randles, mystery circles in the British West Country first started getting media attention in August of 1980, but “persistent local rumors” of them appearing in oat, barley, and wheat fields throughout Wiltshire and Hampshire goes back to at least 40 years before that. As of the release of the report, mysterious circles had shown up in fields between May and August for six successive years. Randles points out that the reason BUFORA became involved was because of the appearance of circles in the area of Warminster, which was notorious for a UFO flap in the 1960’s involving an object known as “The Warminster Thing.” She explains that this “created a definite hype which sees these marks regarded as ground traces left by a landing, or hovering, spacecraft.” Read more →

Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum

BIO: Kelly Hughes has been compulsively drawn to the paranormal and unexplained since she was a child listening to Art Bell with her father, an artist, as he worked late into the night. She has researched and covered cryptids, conspiracies, aliens, and oddities for the FRIGHTDAY horror podcast since 2013. FRIGHTDAY was syndicated for a time on Dark Matter Digital Network, home of Art Bell’s final program, Midnight in The Desert. Kelly’s interviews with subject matter experts and her in-depth reporting fostered a 2025 spinoff series, VISITORS, focusing on these personalities and their stories. Whether it’s UFOs, assassinations, abductions, or inexplicable encounters, her quick mind and old-friend personality make her a listener and community darling.

BIO: Sam N. Milodragovich is a perpetual connoisseur and enthusiast of the weird, macabre, and melancholy. Co-founder of Audiowool’s long-running horror, true crime, and conspiracy-themed FRIGHTDAY podcast, he appeared regularly from the series’ 2013 inception through the early 2020s, and occasionally since. Currently, Sam is one of the hosts of FRIGHTDAY’s high strangeness and UFO/UAP spinoff series, VISITORS, and he has a soft spot in his calloused and skeptical heart for historical and archival UFO stories. Good fortune and dumb luck have provided him moments with incredible individuals from across the spectrum of human endeavor, ranging from the arts, sciences, governance, and the foggy areas between.
