Poway California Sighting Mid 1970s

Saw disc shaped object in mid 1970s above our home on Wanesta dr. in Poway California (Tom Delonge’s hometown) with Mom and sister at night. I was probably 10 years old at the time of sighting.We never discussed it with one another until recently. Not sure why but it has always been in my mind. Disc had multicolored lights, a dome and I Remember 3 figures moving inside. Could not make out their physical features but seemed to be more human like. It hovered for a short time and moved on. It almost seemed like time lapsed but that memory is foggy. I do remember how spooked we all were at the time and we spoke about it again. I only recently asked my mom about her memory of the event, thinking it might have been a false memory. She did remember and verified our sighting.

Latest Stream of the SCU, What is the Possible Connection between UAP’s and Dark Matter?

 

Abstract: Nearly 25% of the universe is composed of a mysterious substance known as dark matter (while 70% of the cosmos is something called “dark energy”) making it the height of hubris to think that we know all there is to know about physics and astronomy today. This talk will review the strong evidence behind the existence of dark matter, such as gravitational lensing, then discuss how it might lead to naturally occurring anomalies not involving craft piloted by intelligent beings at all. Next, I will cover the possibility for its use as fuel for interstellar flight, one that can be gathered in transit, given its natural abundance being 5x that of interstellar hydrogen.

Big Orange ball

Back in fall of 2009 I was on the west side of Albuquerque NM at a church meeting around 7pm. I was waiting for people to show up. I was outside and a orange glow caught my attention. Where I was at I have a full view of the city. The orange glow came from the East I noticed it as it passed over the sandia mountains. I’m very familiar with aircraft and balloons espeacily at night because the Kirkland Air Force air base is here and there is a lot of traffic all the time. The orange object as it traveled maintained speed but kinda like shaked as it traveled. It was big. As big as a normal commercial airplane. As it came across the city it stopped right above me maybe 500 feet. I viewed it for about 15 min as it stayed in place with no sound at all. Then it all of a sudden started moving East again at the same speed it came in at. Then all of a sundown stopped in mid air then after a couple min came back west to the spot it was at before. It did this one more time. At this point I went inside and got my sister and a friend to come look at the object so that if I told anyone I would have witnesses. It didn’t move for them it just stayed in place. They went back in after couple min I stayed another 15 min watching. This whole time I never thought to ask people who were coming in late to the meeting if they saw it but at least I got two people to see it with me . I couldn’t take video or a picture because I had a flip phone that couldn’t even make the object show up. My video camera that I had recording the meeting that day the battery decided to go out so I couldn’t take it outside to record. I never shared it other then to my wife and didn’t report it as I didn’t even think about it since we see strange stuff all the time in NM it’s just normal. After listening to a account on the show it sounded familiar to what I saw. The strangest thing about this was the glow. As it came towards me it seemed like it was pulsating and shifting while it moved. It was like in movies where you see the holagram distort, it was similar. I wonder if anyone else is Albuquerque seen it.

When UFOs Were Soucoupes Volantes

by Charles Lear

  Every so often, there are concentrations of UFO sightings reports, known as flaps or waves that receive a substantial amount of press coverage.  This occurred in the U.S. in the early years of the modern UFO era and the press generated by one flap in 1952, which included sightings over the Capital, caused a great deal of concern in Washington.  In 1954, there was a flap that was worldwide that involved reports of not only flying saucers, but also of landed saucers and humanoid occupants.  There are reports on record from South America to Africa and the Middle East but the heaviest concentration was over France.  It was there that French researcher, Aimé Michel came to international prominence as he investigated, collected data and tried to unravel the mystery.  A young Jaques Vallée first became interested in flying saucers at this time and was inspired by Michel’s work to go on to even greater prominence as a respected and influential figure in the field.

On September 10, 1954, an incident was reported to police by a 34 year-old man in Quarouble that went on to be covered by the press extensively, not only in France, but worldwide.  Marius Dewilde told police that at 10:30 PM, he was sitting in his house by the railroad tracks, when his dog, Kiki, started barking outside.  Dewilde went to investigate, bringing his flashlight, as it was dark.  Outside, he noticed a large object, which he assumed was a harvest cart, six meters from his front door.  He then saw two figures on a nearby path that was often used by smugglers.  He shined his flashlight at them and it reflected off of what he perceived was a helmet on one of the figures, both of which he estimated to be about a meter in height.  At that moment, a door opened up on the side of the object, a blinding light came out and Dewilde said he was paralyzed by fear.  He closed his eyes and when he opened them, the object had risen ten meters in the air and it then shot off to the west like “lightning.” Later, indentations were found in railroad ties that were thought to have possibly come from the object’s landing gear.  As the story made its way from newspaper to newspaper, Dewilde’s being paralyzed by fear turned into Dewilde being paralyzed by a beam of light.

Citizens Against UFO Secrecy

by Charles Lear

At this point in time, most people interested in UFOs are probably used to being able to look at official government documents if they want to do some research.  The C.I.A., F.B.I. and N.S.A. all have UFO related documents available online and there is, of course, the enormous collection amassed by John Greenewald Jr. on his site, The Black Vault.  One might think that the three letter agencies listed above would have been reluctant to make such documents readily available.  This was certainly the case in the early 1970’s when researchers began to use a new tool at their disposal known as the Freedom of Information Act.  The F.O.I.A. was passed in 1966 and required that government agencies release documents, not exempt according to the statute’s guidelines, to any citizen upon request.  Part of the idea was to provide citizens with insight into the operations of government agencies in the hope that they could play a part in making them more efficient.  The act was amended in 1974 and now offered citizens a judicial review if they felt a request had not been responded to satisfactorily.  Bruce Macabee, an optical physicist and UFO researcher, was one of the first to take advantage of the act but it was a private group, Ground Saucer Watch, that made headlines after successfully acquiring over 900 pages of documents from the C.I.A.  GSW was dissolved shortly thereafter in the midst of financial difficulties but some of its members had already formed Citizens Against UFO Secrecy.  CAUS went on to acquire documents from many agencies, and it was because of the efforts of these early adventurers who fearlessly confronted monstrous bureaucracies that we have the resources that are available today.

Ground Saucer Watch was formed in 1957 and its members included scientists, engineers and technicians. William Spaulding, the group’s director, was an aerospace quality control engineer who worked at a company called AIResearch.  GSW was based in Arizona and was one of the first groups to respond to the 1975 Travis Walton incident.  They achieved national notoriety thanks to a lawsuit filed against the C.I.A. in 1977.  Spaulding was seeking the release of requested documents and had retained the services of New York attorney, Peter Gerston who offered his services pro bono.  In order for C.I.A. to win, they had to establish that UFOs were a matter of national security (contrary to repeated statements of organizations such as the Air Force) and that they had legal authority to investigate UFOs.  While they awaited the outcome, in 1978, GSW members, Todd Zechel, Brad Sparks and others, along with Gerston, formed CAUS in order to “open the war on UFO secrecy on other fronts.”  Near the end of that year, the C.I.A. released almost 900 pages of documents and on January 14, 1979, an article appeared in The New York Times detailing some of the revelations.

Huge Triangle UFO

Huge Triangle UFO

note: image simulation posted by admin

I used to live in the area of North Bay, Ontario Canada. The incident happened sometime between 1976 and 1980. It was during the end of summer, I believe somewhere between 6 and 8pm. My father, mother, brother and I were sitting in the living room watching TV after supper. Keep in mind that this is a rural property and my father was an avid hunter, so he habitually scanned the property for bear, deer and moose, while he watched tv or read a book. Often, he would say to us; “look guys, a moose!”

This one time, as my father scanned the property, he said, “Jesus Christ, what the hell!?” As he was getting out of his chair he told my mother to turn off the TV. He walked over to the front door, and opened it looking towards the sky. Now at this time our front door opened up to the ground 6 feet below. My father had not built the front porch yet. So, both my father and mother raced over and stood at the entrance of the door looking towards the sky. My brother and I jumped towards the big picture window to look up as well.

What we saw was mind boggling. It was triangular, not an equilateral but an isosceles triangle shape, black in color, and looked like it was at least 3/4s of a kilometer long (half a mile). It was huge! It was hovering, not moving, about a hundred feet above a great eastern white pine that was about a hundred feet in front of our house. As my father was commenting on how big it was, the telephone rang. My mother picked up the phone. It was a neighbor who lived about a kilometer away and she asked to speak to my father. Clearly annoyed, my father grabbed the phone. I found out later that the neighbor was panicked because she was looking at the same thing we were. However, she said to my father it was directly above her house. My father, not wanting to miss seeing more of this thing, said something like; “yes, yes I see it too, no no, I have no idea what it is… I got to go!” He hung up the phone and returned to his spot at the door. At this point we saw our aunt, who lived about 125 feet next door. She was standing on her front porch pointing up at the object and looking at us to make sure we were seeing the same thing. She was motioning with her arms as to communicate; “What is that thing!” My father motion that yes, he saw it too. At this point my father asked someone to go fetch the binoculars. As I ran for the binoculars, my brother and I kept asking my parents what it was. They replied that they had no idea. I remember my father telling us to be quiet. There were these little windows below the big picture window that could slide open, so at this point my brother and I each slid open a window and popped out the screens to stick our heads out to listen and observe. I remember that there was a very quiet “shhhhhhh” sound. No bird sounds or anything other than this quiet hissing sound. We could all see that in the center of this craft there was a circular ring of lights. Tiny white lights. Actually, it was a semi-circle and I realized at that point that it was sort of like a lower part of the ship which was protruding downwards, and the lights formed the edge of this protrusion. My father, after examining the craft for 15 seconds or so, said quietly to my mother; “You’ve got to see this…” He hands my mother the binoculars and says to her; “Look at the lights.” I will never forget what my mom then said; “Are those…?…. those aren’t light, their windows!” She looked a little longer and said; “It looks like there are….” My father stopped her from finishing her sentence and was looking intensely into her eyes and replied “yes.” Immediately my brother and I asked to see through the binoculars, and my father said “I’m not sure the kids should look…” As my father finished saying this, the craft slowly started moving north towards North. We all said; “look! It’s moving!” The craft moved slowly for about 5 seconds and then it took off in a blink of an eye. Later that evening, my brother and I were totally freaked out and we didn’t want to go to bed. We kept asking what it was and my father kept saying: “I don’t know! A UFO?” We then asked what they saw through the binoculars and I remember my dad saying that the lights weren’t lights but rather looked like windows. My mother then said, she didn’t know for sure but there was movement in those windows… “It looked like there were people looking at us.”

I was terrified to walk into my room later that night. I walked in and saw alien eyes looking back at me. It was probably my own reflection, but I couldn’t enter before my mother went in to close the curtains. I didn’t sleep that night, nor did I sleep well for the next few months. To this day I still sort of get this weird, uneasy feeling when I see my reflection in a window at night.

When UFOs Collide

By Charles

There is a discussion among UFO enthusiasts as to whether or not the objects being reported are actually material in nature.  Cases where there have been physical traces left behind after a sighting support the argument that some objects are indeed solid but there were times when those traces were left behind none-too-gently.  Actual collisions have been reported between UFOs and aircraft, cars and, possibly, even a train according to a report referenced to in the forum section of Trains magazine.

The most famous case involving a UFO hitting a car comes from Marshall County, Minnesota.  At around 1:40 AM on August 27, 1979, Deputy Sheriff Val Johnson was driving on duty close to the North Dakota Border when he saw a light.  He described it in a taped statement for UFO investigator, Guy Wescott, as “a very bright, brilliant light, eight to twelve inches in diameter, three to four feet off the ground” with well-defined edges.  Thinking it was a landing light from a distressed aircraft, Johnson drove towards it, traveling a little over a mile, when it suddenly came towards him and “intercepted” the vehicle.  Johnson lost consciousness for “approximately thirty-nine minutes” and came to with his car stopped sideways across the road at the end of 99 feet of skid marks, and a total of 953 feet from the site of impact.  He radioed for help and Deputy Sheriff Everett Doolittle was the first to arrive.  Doolittle found Johnson sitting in the driver’s seat, in a state of mild shock, with his head against the steering wheel.  Johnson complained of pain in his eyes that reminded him of burns he’d experienced after welding and said his head felt as if he’d been hit “in the face with a four-hundred pound pillow.”  Doolittle called for an ambulance and Johnson was taken to a hospital where his eyes were treated with salve and bandaged.

Borderland Science & UFOs

By Charles Lear

What was the first civilian organization solely dedicated to research on the subject of UFOs and when did they form?  After a little research, most should agree that it was the Los Angeles based Civilian Saucer Investigation formed in 1951.  What may surprise many is that there was a group interested in all things paranormal that was looking at aerial phenomena reports even before the June 24, 1947 Kenneth Arnold sighting.  What may be equally surprising is the longevity of the organization, which started in 1945 and is still represented by an active website today.

Borderland Sciences Research Associates was formed in San Diego, California in 1945 by Meade Layne along with fellow intellectuals interested in exploring subjects that lay between the realms of spiritualism and science.  Layne was an academic with a masters in English who supported his family as a teacher, taking jobs across the country.  In the course of his career, he was the English Department Head at Illinois Wesleyan University and Florida Southern College and a professor at the University of Southern California.  Prior to his involvement with BSRA he had contributed various writings and research papers to journals devoted to parapsychology, spiritualism and the occult.  As soon as the group was formed they published their own monthly newsletter, the Round Robin, and Layne was the editorial director.  The subjects that were written about covered the range of what can be best described as “Western esotericism.”

In the January, 1946 issue we get the first story of interest for UFO historians.  In an article titled, “Do You Hear Voices?” the writer addresses the “Shaver Mystery” which involved a man who heard voices while welding and believed them to be from degenerated humanoids living underground who flew through tunnels in technically advanced vehicles.  These vehicles were later thought by some to be responsible for Arnold’s sighting and those that followed.  This was likely due, in large part, to the influence of the men responsible for the mystery: writer, Richard Shaver and publisher, Ray Palmer.  What may be of equal interest to UFO enthusiasts are comments taken from a letter in that same issue regarding ball lightning and “will-o’-the-wisps” mentioning marsh gas being a common prosaic explanation offered for strange lights.
