Edited by Rev. Dr. Raymond W. Boeche

Foreword
It’s my pleasure to present in this volume, the complete collection of the Journal of the For-
tean Research Center.
As the founder and former director of the Fortean Research Center, I have been active in
the investigation of unexplained phenomena since 1965. My first really memorable inquiry
occurred in 1968, when I had the privilege of interviewing Herbert Schirmer, then Chief of
Police in Ashland Nebraska, after his widely-reported encounter with a landed craft and its
occupants on December 3rd, 1967.
Over the years I have also served as the Nebraska State Director for the Mutual UFO
Network, on the Borad of Advisors of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy, and in various capaci-
ties with numerous other organizations around the world. In 1982, I established the Fortean
Research Center in Lincoln, Nebraska, and was joined almost immediately by my friend and
colleague Scott Colborn in directing the research efforts of this group.
Despite its humble beginnings and sometimes sporadic production intervals, the Journal
attempted to address the issues and topics of the day: UFO-related government documents
obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, the Majestic-12 con troversy, the alien
abduction phenomenon, ghosts and hauntings, animal mutilations, psi phenomena, and all
matters cryptozoological and Fortean. It was always our hope to serve as a reliable source of
information — of data — and let the reader exercise critical-thinking skills in order to draw
their own conclusions.
During the life of the Fortean Research Center, I was accorded the privilege of being
retained by the University of Nebraska as a consultant to organize, and present research
papers at two major international conferences on the unexplained in 1982 and 1983; to have
numerous articles published, as well as a collection of my writings, An Anthology of the
Unexplained. Scott and I were also fortunate to be two of the initial investigators of the 1980
Bentwaters (UK) UFO incident.
Although recognized for my extensive work in the areas of animal mutilations, out-of-place
animal sightings, Bigfoot reports, the Men-in-Black phenomenon, and occult religions and
philosophies, my ability to devote adequate time to the operation of the Center was drasti-
cally curtailed when I began graduate studies in theology, and was then called to establish a
church plant. Scott Colborn and the late Dale Bacon then were able to masterfully lead the
Fortean Research Center into a period of steady growth and influence among the research
community.
This volume reproduces the entire corpus of the Journal. The type has been enhanced to
increase legibility; where possible, photos originally reproduced xerographically have been
scanned from the originals and replaced. Issues which originally appeared in a 7 x 8.5 inch
format have been enlarged to fit an 8.5 x 11 inch page. With these exceptions, these are direct
facsimiles of the original issues. No attempt at indexing topics has been made.
Having recently retired from a 30-year career as a graphic artist and book designer, the
last 19 years of which were spent with the University of Nebraska Press, I feel a need to begin
to compile some of my research materials into a usable form, and make them available to
others, whatever small value they may hold. This is my first, but hopefully not last, offering
to the Fortean research community.
My thanks and appreciation to the many friends and colleagues who have helped, en-
couraged, inspired, and supported my interests over the years: Scott Colborn, Jerome Clark,
Loren Coleman, Linda Moulton Howe, Jenny Randles, Nick Redfern, Timothy Good, Thomas
Adams, and dozens of others; I’d also like to pay tribute to that ever-lengthening list of friends
whose presence is greatly missed: Allen and Mimi Hynek, Ivan Sanderson, John Keel. Richard
Hall, Budd Hopkins, Bernard Huevelmans, Leonard Stringfield, Dr. Berthold Eric Schwarz,
Jim and Coral Lorenzen, Lucius Farish, Roger Gieseking, and Dale Bacon.
And many thanks to Theo Paijmans, whose encouragement to get on with this project
has finally borne fruit.
As my current work as a pastor allows, I hope to bring more material together into a us-
able format, and present that to you, with my compliments.

WELCOME TO THE FORTEAN RESEARCH CENTER
On February 12, 1986, the Fortean Research Center was incorporated in Lincoln,
Nebraska, as a non-profit entity for the purpose of exploring all aspects of
unexplained phenomena. We are currently seeking our tax-exempt status from
the Internal Revenue Service, and hope to achieve this by late summer.
In forming a non-profit entity to conduct research into phenomena, one of our

primary purposes is public education regarding these mysteries. Many of our
readers will be aware that since October, 1984, Scott Colborn and myself have
produced an hour-long weekly radio show on Lincoln's KZOM-FM. This, I feel,
has been invaluable in educating the listening audience in various aspects
of the unexplained. With our non-profit status, we hope to be able to syn-
dicate our program nationally. To do this, it is imperative that money for
production costs be available. We are now in a position to begin seeking
grants from various foundations for this purpose.
In addition to the work on our radio programming , our quarterly Journal, which
you now have, and our basic research efforts, we hope to resume the series
of conferences on the unexplained which were sponsored by the University of Ne-
braska-Lincoln, in 1982 and 1983. In order to maintain the high quality of
speakers which we were able to present previously, again, an important con-
sideration is financing. We will be exploring many avenues to raise the nec-
essary funds, and we will keep you posted on our progress.
For those of you unfamiliar with my work, a brief i~troduction is in order.

I have been actively involved in researching UFOs, animal mutilations, out-
of-place animal sightings, 'monster' reports, and many other unexplained
events for the last 20 years. I currently serve as Nebraska State Director
for the Mutual UFO Network, and work with many other organizations world-
wide . I also serve on the Board of Advisors for an organization known as
Citizens Against UFO Secrecy (CAUS) which has been at the forefront of efforts
to force the release of government-held documents on UFOs.
I hold a B.A. degree in Art and Education from Peru State College , and am
currently employed as a graphic artist by one of the 20 largest printing
companies in the United States. I have invested 30 to 40 hours of my time
per week to investigation of unexplained phenomena for the last six years,
and invested thousands of dollars of my own money into these investigations.
I mention this only to indicate my dedication to these efforts, and hopefully
to inspire others to the same type of dedication.
Whatever the answers to the many mysteries that confront us, they are sure to
prove vital tO humanity's view of 1Lself and the universe which surrounds it.
People just like you and I are confronted with the unexplained every day-I
feel it is important to determine what these individuals are experiencing,
and through this, I believe we will be able to expand mankind's knowledge of
his world immeasurably. I hope you share this curiosity, and 1 hope you share
a desire to help us accomplish this •

FORTEAN RESEARCH JOURNAL 3
WINGED WONDER OVER FALLS CITY?
A fascinating account of a "winged weirdie" was given to me several months ago

by the witness to the event. The name of the witness is on file, and avail-
able to serious researchers. We will refer to the gentleman as Mr. Hanks,
because of his request for anonymity .
On a beautiful autumn afternoon in 1956, Hanks and his family were returning home
from an outing. The family had unloaded their car, and gone into t he house,
while Hanks readied some equipment he needed at work, in his pickup truck .
As he was going about this, he noticed what he at first thought was a kite , about
3 blocks away from his home. As he watched, the kite drew closer, and Hanks
assumed that it had gotten away from whoever was flying it.
As this object fluttered to within about a block of his position, Hanks realized
that it was not a kite, but a human-like form, with wings. As the thing came
closer, Hanks was able to see the creature's face, which he described as "very
frightening, almost demonic.''
"It's eyes were very large, blue in color , and watery. They were shaped and
placed on his face almost like horse's eyes. The skin on his face was like
tan leather. It was very wrinkled, and seemed to overlap in folds. - I had
a good look at his face-he was only about 25 feet away , and hovering maybe
15 feet above the ground. He was between ei'ght; aildnine feet tall."
As. Hanks watched, the creature wobbled, and almost fell to the street below.
After recovering, the creature flew toward Hanks, and passed directly overhead.
Interestingly, as Hanks watched the creature approaching closer, he tried to
move, and found he couldn't. He was experiencing some sort of paralysis .
As the creature passed overhead, Hanks was able to observe the wings of the
thing. He described them as like polished aluminum, with a grid-like appearance
on the top side. The under side of the wings each had 4 or 5 colored lights
about four inches in diameter-the lights closest to his body on either side
glowed blue, then a yellow, then an orange, and finally a red light out toward
WINGED WONDER, • •• coot.,
each wing tip . The wing was at least fifteen feet l ong , from tip to tip,
according to Hanks. He indicated that the wings appeared to be about two
feet wide next to the creature's body, and three feet wide at the t ip.
When asked how the wing was attached, Hanks said that, "It was fastened to
him by a shoulder harness, which seemed to have a breast plate of some sort with
dials on it. He seemed to touch and move these dials, but his hands, if
that's what they were, looked more like white dove's wings, all opened up."
Hanks went on to say that as the creature passed overhead, he heard a sound
like air hissing from what he thought was the rear of the wing. As he
watched, the creature moved off into the distance, and disappeared behind a
group of trees about 2 blocks away. After t he creature was out of sight,
Hanks was able to move again. He said that the entire event lasted somewhere
between eight and ten minutes.
According to Hanks, for the next 23 years, he was continually bothered by

nightmares in which this creature would reappear. He became, in his own
words, "a workaholic-! wouldn't sleep any more than I absolutely had to, and
worked constantly so I wouldn't have time to think about it." Finally, over
a period of three years, Hanks was able to overcome this obsession by forcing
himself to write out the story, and then destroy it.
Evidently this served as a suitable catharsis, because Hanks concluded by

saying, "I still don't understand it, but i t doesn't matter any more."
DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY DOCUMENTS RELEASED
On December 18, 1985, t he Fortean Research Center received 139 pages of pre-
viously unreleased documents from t he Defense Intelligence Agency, c~ncerning
their interests in UFOs. This release of documents was in response to a Free-
dom of Information Act request which had been sent some ni ne months ea~lier.
Although many of the documents are virtually unreadable, t here are dozens of
truly fascinating reports, including one which deals with the Peruvian Air
Force ' s sc~ambling of fighters to pursue UFOs on two different occasions.
Also mentioned in four of the documents is PROJECT MOON DUST, a project which
the reports imply is UFO related. FOIA requests to some 18 various agencies
have been submitted to try and obtain all possible information on this project.
Hopefully, we will be able to report more fully on PROJECT MOON DUST in the
next issue of the Journal .
For those interested in copies of these documents, they are available as the
entire set, for our cost of photocopying, and postage. All 139 pages (8t x 14")
are available for a total cost of $23.50. If you would like a set of these
important documents, please let us know as soon as possible.
The Defense Intelligence Agency has been very reluctant in the past to release
their UFO-related information, and we feel very fortunate to have received
this body of documents. As mentioned earlier, we are continuing our efforts to
try and discover exactly what PROJECT MOON DUST is, and what relationship it
has to the government ' s interest in UFO incidents.
WHAT'S A MILO,MAN?
We are currently trying to track down further verification of sightings of

a bipedal humanoid creature which has been dubbed 'Mil~ Man'. Reports
of this rather strangely named creature have been surfacing infrequently for
about six months. The alleged creature has gained its name from the locale
where the witnesses believe it lives, namely, a milo field.
The most coherent and credible account to date involves a young man who had
driven to his brother's rural Lincoln, Nebraska home to spend the night, only
to find his brother was away, and the house locked. Having no other choice,
he decided to sleep in the back seat of his car. Sometime during the night
he was awakened by the car being violently shaken · around~. Thinking at first
it was his brother, who had returned, he sat up and looked out the back window.
He observed a much-larger-than-human form, which was standing near the rear of

the car, and shaking it back and forth. Not knowing what else to do, he hid on
the floor of the car until this large hair-covered figure tired of its car
shaking, and wandered off.
The next morning, on the brother's return, he related his experience, and was
told that several farmers in the area had also seen this creature, and had
dubbed it Milo Man. The above outlined event occurred in late September, 1985,
and we are currently following further leads to try and establish additional
sightings, and further corroboration. We'll have more on this as we uncover it.
WHERE'S STEVE MCQUEEN WHEN YOU NEED HIM?
Here's another previously unpublished reportwhich is long overdue for entrance

into Fortean literature. As the more astute among you may have guessedby the
title, it concerns the sighting of (what else?) a "blob".
In September of 1969, a young Nebraska City, Nebraska man, Maurice Colbert, and
his girlfriend were parked along a 'lover's lane' area north of Nebraska City,
near the banks of the Missouri River. The young lady began to complain that she
was hearing strange noises outside of the car. After a good deal of proddingt
Maurice was finally persuaded that she was serious, and after 1istening,realized
that there were some strange 'slurping' noises coming from outside.
Maurice left the car, and seeing nothing initially, moved towards the rear of
the vehicle, where the sounds became louder. Describing the night as a very
bright, moonlit evening, Maurice was able to see what he desccibed as "an '
amoeba-shaped blob, about six feet across, and about 18 inches thick, moving along
the ground." He indicated the 1 blolt' would move much as an amoeba, by ex-
tending a gelatinous pseudopod, and then pulling itself along in that direction,
or rather flowing into itself.
After watching the 'blob' for about 2 minutes, it had moved six to eight feet
closer to the car. Maurice indicated that the purplish-pink 'thing' had no
discernible odor, and seemed to have no awareness of his presence. Later exam-
ination of the site showed a sort of trail which had apparently been pushed
clear of small sticks, pebbles, and other debris as the creature flowed along
the ground.
Due to the highly unusual nature of this event, I am unable even to speculate
as to a normal explanation for the event. I would be very interested in hearing
STEVE MCQUEEN, •• • coot.,
from any other researcherswho may be aware of similar incidents. The only
possibility I am aware of would be the appearance of a _giant slime mold. But
six feet across? All comments on this one are welcome.
FORTEAN NEWS FLASHES
TheMissouri Court of Appeals didn't buy the story of a man who said his wife's
lover was shot in the stomach by his shotgun-wielding poodle. Lawrence Freukes,
37, of north St. Louis county, was accused of shooting John Schlereth March 16,
1982 at Freukes' home. The suspect had testified in St. Louis County Circuit
Court that the gun discharged when his large poodle caught its paw in the trig-
ger and knocked the gun to the floor. Freukes' wife, Bernice, testified that
her husband had told Schlereth: "I'm in a lot of trouble. You've got to tell
them the dog did it." (Omaha World-Herald, February 7, 1986)
An item of interest for all of you who follow phantom helicopter sightings,
from the January, 1986 issue of Research and Development magazine. A joint
effort between NASA and most major helicopter manufacturers (including Mc-
Donnell Douglas, Boeing Vertol, Sikorsky, and Bell Helicopters) is under way
to drastically reduce noise produced by rotary-wing aircraft. Most of the 'work
thus far has been analytical and ground test R & D, but flight tests are planned
for the near future. The program is a five-year, $10 million dollar effort
headed by NASA-Langley, and is called the National Rotorcraft Noise Reduction
program (NRNR).
The hood of a woman's car was damaged when a 30-pound crash beacon from an Air
Force C-5 Galaxy cargo plane fell on it, on February 4, 1986, The beacon
fell while the plane was landing at Jacksonville (Fla.) Naval Air Station. The
military has agreed to pay for repairs to the car. (Lincoln, NE Journal, Feb-
ruary 6, 1986.)
A blue fireball as bright as the moon streaked across the nighttime sky and
exploded above southwestern British Columbia and northern Washington state,
a Vancouver, B. C. astronomer said. (Lincoln, NE Star, February 20, 1986)
Scientists have made the largest fossil find in North America , uncovering more
than 100,000 bone pieces of animals 200 million years old at a site in Nova
Scotia. The fossils represent life in the boundary between the Triassic
period, which began 240 million years ago, and the Jurassic, which began 200
miliion years ago. The scientists said the new findings point to a catastrophic
extinction right at the Triassic-Jurassic boundary - such as an asteroid im-
pacting the Earth - that wiped out more than 40 percent of tbe land and lake
animals of that time. (Lincoln, NE Journal, January 29, 1986.)
A new island is being born in the Pacific Ocean near Iwo Jima, the first volcanic
addition to the region in 78 years. Crowned by a still-erupting lava cone, the
new island is already 2,310 feet long, 990 feet wide, and about 50 feet high.
New islands had been seen near Iwo Jima in 1905, and again in 1908, but sub-
merged after 1908. (Lincoln, NE Star, January 22, 1986.)
And finally, for all of you who have always wanted a flying saucer, but didn't
know where to go to buy one, a company called Starcraft Indusry has just what
you need. Called the Starcraft 1, the aircraft is 12 feet in diameter, has a
12,000 foo t ceiling, and a top speed of 140 mph. Call Starcraft at (801) 363-6612.
HELP OUR FRIENDS
There are many other organizations dealing with the unexplained. They
are all doing the best they can with the resources available to them, and
your help in joining these organizations, and helping "support them both
financially and in spirit, would be greatly appreciated.

FORTEAN RESEARCH JOURNAL J
A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR
It is good to be back with the second issue of our Journal. Our

organization hopes that you enjoyed the premier issue, and we will
try only to improve with each subsequent effort.
As many of you are aware, Dr. J. Allen Hynek, founder of the

Center for UFO Studies died on April 27. The field of Ufology,
and indeed all aspects of research into the unexplained will
sorely miss this great mind, and I will miss a friend. Our con-
dolences and heartfelt sympathy go to his wife Mimi, and his children.
This issue of the Journal is dedicated to Dr. Hynek, and his
enormous contributions to mankind's store of knowledge.
I would like to provide an open invitation to all readers of the

Journal to submit manuscripts to be considered for publication in
the Journal. Let us know your thoughts on whatever aspect of
the unexplained interests you most.
I hope you will enjoy the articles contained in this issue. I feel
we have something which should be of interest to everyone. And by
the way, just so know one else gets the blame, all articles are
written by myself, unless otherwise by-lined.
Next issue, we will try to bring you a section of pertinent book

reviews, and get you up to date on what's currently available in
the field of the unexplained .
Until next time, take care, and let me know how you like our
effort so far.
All the best,
\~~

LATE INFORMATION
As we were completing work on this issue, we received word from

the Defense Intelligence Agency that more documents on PROJECT
MOON DUST may be released to us in a short time.
The DIA indicated that they were waiting for final release of
some documents by one branch of their organization. With
any luck, we will be able to bring you this information in the
next issue.
Wish us luck, and we will keep you updated on our progress. Slowly
but surely, the truth will come out.
YOU MAY BE ON FILE

Abduction cases are rapidly becoming standard fare in Ufology. The abduction
of an individua~, or individuals, and the subsequent ''medical examinati on"
which have been 1related countless times are familiar to most researchers. How-
ever, we may have a new twist to add to the old story.
In l984, a Lincoln, Nebraska woman we will call simply "Joan", mentioned that
she had experienced a rer.urring dream since childhood. In this dream, someone
appears outside her bedroom window, and attempts to coax her to come with
them. This subject arose during a casual conversation , and over the next few
days, I made a decision to explore this dream with Joan, if she were willing
to pursue it.
Joan (whose full name is on file and available to qualified researchers with
her permission) holds a position of some authoritywith a state governmental agency .
An extremely intelligent and engaging woman, Joan had almost no prior knowledge
of the UFO subject, and, in facL, was uninterested in it. She did, however,
agree to explore this recurring dream throught the use of regressive hypnosis.
'
On April 11 , 1984 , Joan was hypnotically regressed to the point in time when
the dream had first occurred. This, we discovered, was October 7, 1955, when
Joan was 12 years old. The hypnosis was performed by Stacey Vornbrock, a
psychologi cal social worker , and a skilled hypnotist.
The story which unfolded was for the most part very similar to that of other
abductees. She was awakened in her bedroom by a figure standing outside her
window, who asked her to come with him. This entity was described as about
four feet in height, dressed in a white tight-fitting suit.
This entity conducts Joan to a "craft" which is resting on t he ground in a

large vacant lot next to her home. After entering, she is given the well- known
medical exam described by others (sampling of skin tissue, blood, hair, etc.)
and is returned to her home, and subsequently her bedroom.
The entity who escorted her from the bedroom , and subsequently performed the
examination, was assisted by 5 other similar beings, who were described as
identical, but slightly smaller, than the "leader" . The leader, who Joan
had originally met, was the only one who communicated with her. However, she
indicated t hat she was able to discern what he was telling his apparent
subordinates. This is where the totally new dimension enters.
According to Joan's testimony under hypnosis , the subordinates were quite

worried about being caught, that it was too obvious a location with too many
people nearby , and that they shouldn't take chances and endanger themselves.
The leader told them apparently quite sternly that plans had changed, they
had to make up time, a nd that's why Joan was chosen.
The leader then indicated to Joan that they had intended to examine someone
else, a man who was out driving in his automobile, but he had returned home,
(apparently an unexpected turn of events to the entities) and they were
unable to pick him up then. The leader then indicated to the others not to be
concerned, that he had done this many times before.
He then indicated to Joan that she was, quoting now, "very far back in the files",
and they hadn't intended to choose her , but the c hange in plans necessitated
it. This being then begins the examination, Joan having been instructed t o
lie on a smooth, metallic table. Clamps emerge from the table, holding her
1-UN.'li::.AN lU:.SEARCH jUUltNAL 5
ankles, wrists, and head immobile. Again, without going into great detail,
the examination which follows is quite similar to that related by many others.
However, throughout this examination, the leader appar:ently had to reassure

the others that it was quite alright for this to be going on, and made mention
severa l times again of Joan being "back in the files". This presents a novel
idea, which could conceivably tie in with Budd Hopkin's work on abductions.
Hopkins had found that (as chronicled in his book Hissing Time) many of the
abd uctees he has worked with have had jultiple experiences-first as a child, and
then agai n later as an adult. Making the great assumption that what all of
these people have experienced is exactly what they have described, is it
not conceivable that the individuals abducted 11ay indeed be "on file"-gen-
etically , by random chance, or by some deliberative process which we could not
begin to fathom? This appears to add an entirely new dimension to the entire
abduction question.
One other startling fact emerged at the end of the adbuction experience. The
following information is so coincidentally strange, that I was quite literally
shocked when it came out during the session . Joan was describing being back
in her room, and the leader was reassuring her t hat she was laright, and she
wouldn't remember the event in the morning. We asked Joan to recall this con-
versation exactly, word for word, much as if she were watching herself and
this entity car ry on a conversation . Here is the transcription of that con-
versation.
JOAN: I want to talk.

ENTITY: About what?
JOAN: What went on?
ENTITY: Nothing.
JOAN: Who are you?
ENTITY : An explorer .
JOAN: An explorer of what?
ENTITY: An explorer of all.
J: Like who?
E: Like your Christopher Columbus.
J: Should I be afraidG
E: Not of us.
J: Who should I be afraid of?
E: The men i n black .
J: You mean the priests?
E: No, no, the men in black.
J: What men in black?
E: You don't have to be afraid.
J: What do they look l ike?
E: They ' re your people (J oan the described a mental picture of men dressed com-
in black clothing-suits, overcoats, hats, sungl asses , gloves, which she
said was the way the entity communicated this description to her)
FORTEAN RESEARCHJOURNAL 6
J: What do they do?

E: They scare people .
J: Like ghosts?
E: No, like bad people scare others .
J: Like J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI?
E: No.
J: What will they do?
E: They don't want people to know we explorers won't hurt them.
J: Are you going to help us?
E: No, we're just explorers, but we watch.
J; What will they do?
E: You like animals.
J: Yes.
E: What if I tell you that they killed someone's dog because he saw some
explorers.
J: *Joan then goes on to describe a "mental motion picture" , in which she is
shown a man walking in the woods with his dog, when he stumbles on a landed
UFO. Later t.hat same night, she witnesses the men in black clothing come
to his home, kill his dog, and question the man about what he had seen.
She is then made aware of these men in black calling the man's work place,
discrediting him, causing the loss of his job. After suffering further
harass~ent from friends and family, Joan is shown the man back in his
home, placing a gun in his mouth, and pulling the trigger.
J: What else?
E: You're afraid-! don't want to tell you any more because I don't want you to
be afraid. I've only told you this much because you are a child, and curious.
Just know they are bad. You are safe.
J: Can you keep me safe?
E: No, when we are gone, we can do nothing more. The men in black won't know,
you are too far back in our files.
J: Who should I tell?
E: You won't remember.
J: Who will know?
E: No one-they aren't watching you, not like the man in Maine. Don't be afraid 1
goodbye.
As I mentioned earlier, I was shocked to hear this portion of the session . Also ,
the first question whic h Joan asked upon awakening from the hypnotic state was
"Have you ever heard of these men in black?" She literally had no concept
that a term such as this even existed.
I am well aware of the doubts expressed by many researchers a s to the validity
of abduct i on cases as a whole. I feel , however, tha t the whole abduction

question is one for serious consideration, and I doubt highly that they are
allthe products of the imagination, or the oft-touted "birth-trauma"
memor i es. In short, I believe a great many of these people experienced some-
thing exceedi ngly strange, and which took place s ubstantially as they clai m
it did .
I am al s o aware of thehighly skeptical attitude taken by many researchers toward

the question of the notorious men in black, or MIB reports. I have a great
interest i n this aspect of Ufology, and for approximately the last 3 years, l
have been collecting as much substantiated information as possible for a
serious, book-length work on this subject. I am also certain that the question
of the MIB phenomenon is not one to be taken lightly.
Let me make some comments relative to this, since these two controversial topics
are woven together in this instance. People in great numbers ~ having
these experiences, both abductions, and MIB events. Of that there can be no
doubt . Before criticizing this attitude however, you must realize that we
still have no firm, concrete proof of what the causal factor in these events
might be .
At this point in time, we can see only the effect-the descriptions of these events
as given to us by the percipients. We don't know the cause. Is it a psychological
phenomenon? If so, then what is triggering it? Budd Hopkins and Dr. Aphrodite
Clamar have shown that the psychological profiles of many abduction victims
show no abnormalities, but suggest that they have suffered a psychological
trauma-like an abduction. So, if the cause is psychological, what is the
intrusive factor which "tickles" the psyche into constructing this event. I
cannot accept at this time, with the available facts, that it is either an
overactive imagination, or a memory of the birth trauma.
The same can be said of MlB experiences. What is the causal factor? I quite
honestly don't know. And before anyone attempts to dismiss these events as
being hoaxes, delusions, or plays for publicity, they had better be able to
explain the many legitimate cases of MIB activity; the cases which have lain
s ilent until , with much effort I have been able to ferret them out. No
plays for publicity, no hoaxes, just a good many genuinely frightened people
who have no idea why they experienced what they did.
At any rate, here is an abduction case which raises a good many questions-man y
of whic h are rather uncomfortable to face. As a matter of fact, it was quite
uncomfortable to make the decision to publish this report. However, unless
we can look at all of the evidence with unbiased eyes, we will never be able
to make any headway toward understanding these problems .
I would greatly appreciate any comments on this rather unique case, and especially
any information on cases which might have similar aspects . Your input is
greatly desired, and greatly appreciated. Let me know what you have, way
back in rour files.

THE ULTIMATE SCARECROW

by llUe &coo
In early April, 1986, I was told of an unusual ''collection" of dead birds-

hanging from trees in an area on the north edge of Lincoln, Nebraska. This
area, near th~ corner of Superior and 44th streets, is known locally as the
home of two legends. One is known as the story of 'Bloody Mary', the other
concerns itself with an individual called the 'Pig Man'. Stories have circulated
for years about strange events which have allegedly occurred at this location.
It is simply one of those spots which every town has-a 'spooky place' to go
on a slow night . Because of this, the report was met with curiosity and
skepticism.
The story initially came from M.D. (all names on file with the Fortean Research
Center) a friend of mine. He and two others had been out looking for old
collectible bottles on t.he site of the farm (no buildings remain standing), when
they stumbled onto the bizarre scene. The other two witnesses, S.T. and D.L.
each told the same story, of dead birds - crows - dangling by strings from the
trees.
Weather conditions prevented access to the area for several days, rain making
the entire area a virtual swamp. Further discussion with the witnesses deepened
my curiosity. They stated that the area where the birds hung surrounded a
natural clearing. Also, the number of birds observed sounded significant. In
my dealings with events such as these, I've come to learn that numbers can be
significant, and the three witnesses had each confirmed seven carcasses.
On April 22nd, the ground was dry enough to enter the area on S.T.'s motor-
cycle (a car simply can't make due to the inaccesability of the area). The
birds were still present, and the remoteness of the site made a rather macabre
scene.
A narrow path led through the woods to the clearing. Approximately forty or
fifty feet down this path was the first bird, hanging exactly the way it had
been described - upside down, feet tied together with string, which was then tied
to a stick and thrown into the trees until it caught on a branch and remained
in place. About twenty feet further inward and to the north were the second
and third birds. The fourth lay on the ground, string and attached stick still
intact. A fifth was directly across the clearing, and the sixth one was strewn
about on the ground, an obvious victim of predators.
All three witnesses attested to the presence of a seventh bird, located on the
south side of the clearing, however, neither S.T. or myself could find this one.
This is not particularly odd when one considers the way in which they had been
placed into the trees, and the large number of animals which would have access
to this area.
I collected one of the specimens and examined it to try and find any apparent
cause of death. This was fruitless, as exposure and natural decay processes
left little more than the shell of the bird. No bullet wounds were found, and
in fact, for the length of time the bird had been exposed, it was quite intact.
Speculation as to why they were present presents many possibilities. One

suggestion offered was that they had been placed there to frighten away other
crows. This makes little sense, in that there is nothing present to keep
other birds away from. Sadistic pranksters? Possibly, but the remoteness of
the spot would prevent the pranksters from enjoying their laugh.
fORTEAN RESEARCH JOURNAL
Cultists? If one considers the evidence - a natural clearing, possibly

regarded by our speculated Clltlt as being of significance, that is, 'holy'
or 'sacred' ground; the numbE!r of birds, seven, in numerology the number of
mystery, knowledge, and perfE!Ction, it causes me to wo~der.
Crows, a relative to the ravE!n, have been associated with occultism since time
immemorial. Native American~1 regarded the crow as the messenger of the Great
Spirit. Crows are as closel}• related to European witchcraft as cats. Asiatic
tradition regards the crow a~1 a symbol of the sun and is still seen as an import-
ant omenwhen they appear at c:ertain times. Even the Bible makes numerous ref-
erences to crows and ravens being of divine importance.
It will probably never be knc•wn if the birds were used for some type of ceremony
or someone's idea of a sick jjoke. With the available facts, it remains just
nother one of those strange E!vents that makes us wonder.
Though difficult to
reproduce well, here
are two photos taken
of the birds as they
were found hanging in
the branches of the
trees. The birds
are indicated by
white arrows.

DEPAR1MENT OF ENERGY RELEASES UFO DOCUMENTS
On April 29, 1986, I received a Ji>ackage of 34 documents related to UFOs from the
Department of Energy. This was :Ln response to a Freedom of Information request
which had been submitted to this agency in February. !heir original response
was merely a suggestion that the Department of Defense would be a ''more
appropriate agency conceming UFOs."
After appealing this response, which totally disregarded my request for UFO
related information generated or held by DOE, the agency processed my request,
and eventually released the abovl! mentioned 34 items. The items released
include a few related to the Kirltland Air Force Base documents.regarding incidents
which occured in 1980, and the rt!St, some 175 pages, deal with a phenomenon
which was quite active in the la1te 1940s over Los Alamos. This phenomenon
has been known as "green fireballs".
The docut~ents go into quite a bi1t of depth concerning sightings of green

fireballs over this area, and thl! 11any attempts to explain them away as
boliddes, nteteors, or ju8t poor •>bservations of common natural phenomena.
The green fireball phenomenon is fascinating in itself, but one reference in
the docUntents is quite curious.
On February 16, 1949, a meeting ,,as held at Los Alamos laboratories to discuss
the pheno•ena of the green firebulls. In attendance at this meeting were
many members of the military co~nunity, FBI agents, and some of the finest
scientific minds of the day, including Dr. Lincoln LaPaz, Dr. Edward Teller,
Dr. Fred Reines, and Dr. N. E. Br1tdbury, then Director of Los Alamos
Scientific Laboratory.
A transcript of this meeting was released, and after endless discussion

concerning the observations which had been made by various personnel, and
the way in which the facts of th1! observations did not square with what was
known about the science of meteo1ritics, Dr. LaPaz made mention of information
~hich had been generated by scientists in Europe who ~ere concerned with
the study of meteoritics.
Sidney Newburger, Chief of Secur:Lty for Los Alamos asked, "Were the Germans
experimenting in any phase that ,,as possibly connected with it?"
Dr. LaPaz replied, "Well, they h~td the so-called stations in space .•••• might
have some attachment to it."
This is the first mention of any pre-World War II space experiments, with
of course the exception of the G•!rman's V-1 and V-2 rockets, which I have
seen mentioned in any official f1tshion. l am attempting to uncover any further
information about this through some contacts I have who are avid aviation his-
torians, but if any of the reade1rs know anything about this, particularly Dr.
LaPaz's reference to the "so-called stations in space", I would be most
grateful for the information. ·
Dr. LaPaz may have been referrin8 to something quite different than it would
seem, or he may have been referr:lng to a project which has given rise to all
of the "UFOs are Nazi secret weaJpons from their secret base in Antarctica"
tripe which surfaces occasionall~r. If you can provide any clarification, please
do.
For those interested, the entire set of documents may be obtained for our cost
of photocopying and postage, by Bending a check or money order to the
Fortean Research Center for the amount of $18.00

MAY I SEE SOME IDENTIFICATION?
On April24, 1986, a man who claimed to be a utility meter reader gained en-
trance to the home of a 38 year old Lincoln woman, about 3:10pm. The woman
let the man in without checking for identification, a nd as they walked towards
the basement door, the man grabbed her.
The woman kicked the man i n the groin, and then chased him from the house while
brandishing a kitchen knife. The man, described as black, with a medium build
and wearing dark clothing, escaped , and police were unable to locate him.
On April 21, two women posing as employees of the Child Protective Service attempt-
ed to take away the 1 year old daughter of Lincoln mother Kim Beetem . Beetem
said both women "looked official", carrying writing pads, and a tape recorder.
They went so. far as to phone Beetem's boyfriend at work, and told him they would
be contacting other friends and relatives.
The two women contacted Beetem once Monday morning, the 21st, and then returned
later in the day to "inspect" her apartment. They phoned Beetem on Tuesday
to tell her they were coming to remove the child, but Beetem grew suspicious
and cal led the Nebraska Department of Social Services, who advised her to
notify the police.
The women did not return to the apartment, and police had no leads as to their
identity . /
''The baffling thing about this is the lack of a motive, 11 said Tom Casady of the
Lincoln Police Department.
About two weeks prior to these incidents, O'Neill, Nebraska authorities were
dealing with the same type of situation. Holt County Sheriff's Deputy Alan
Rowse said that one family had been approached by impersonators, and that the
landlord of another O'Neill woman had been contacted by impersonators, all
claiming to be from various Social Service agencies.
Coincidentally (?) on April 24, Scott Colborn and I were doing a morning radio
show on KLIN radio, here in Lincoln, and had been discussing the impersonatioo
stories with the show's hosts. We had taken a great number of questions from
listeners, when a call came in for one of the show's co-hosts.
The caller wanted to know when they were going to air the interviews he had
done with students at Clinton Elementary school here in Lincoln. Baffled,
he told the caller he had done no such interviews.
He was rather surprised to learn that someone claiming to be him had appeared
at the school the day before, and was interviewing children there. It never
rains, but it pours. Perhaps some of the readers are aware of other incidents
of impersonation during this general period of time . If so, let us know.
Santa Cruz, Ca lifornia police said a pregnant woman knoc ked over a 20-foot cliff
by a speeding car- was saved by a "one-i n-a-million lucky break" when she landed
on a junked couch. Heidi Geoghegan and her boyfriend were str-olling along a cliff
at lighthouse Point when a speeding car struck them, and they plunged over the
c li f f. Geoghegan's fa ll was cushioned by an old, broken couch on the rocks
below. Police Sgt. Tom Watson sa1id the couch s he landed on was "pre tty well
beat up by the waves. It was br01ken apart, but she landed on the c ushioned
part. I guess i t 1 s one of those one-in-a-million luc ky breaks." (Lincoln

Thousands of pilgrims have flocke:d to the Church of St. Demiana - a small church
in a northern Cairo, Egypt suburb - since the apparition of the Virgin Mary was
first reported above the church's: domes on March 25. A fact-finding committee
of five clergymen from the Coptic. Orthodox Church has also reported seeing the
Virgin Mary. The newspaper WATAN~ said the reports on these appearances of the
Virgin Mary indicated a mysteriou1s light floods the area. The apparition ts
seen in a period ranging from a few seconds to up to 20 minutes in durati on. On
one occasion, the apparition was seen despite a power failure which left the
entire area in darkness. (Lincoln, Nebraska JOURNAL, April 14, 1986)
A despondent Lincoln man stole a double-barrel shotgun, and a handful of shells

in order to commit suicide. He loaded a single shell into the chamber and pulled

A baby plunged 17 stories from a New York City window ledge, but survived after
his fall was broken by an apple tree. The infant, whose mother was sewing
in another room, climbed onto a couch, then crawled out the window onto the sleeve
of an airconditioner. The baby 1 s; fall was broken by a limb, about six i nc hes
in diameter, of an apple tree that was 8 to 10 feet tall. The baby's mother
went to find him, looked out the window, and realized something was wrong when
she saw a crowd of the street below. (New York TIMES, June 3, 1986)
The Fortean Research Center received dozens of calls concerning a huge fireball
seen in the night sky over eastern Nebraska about 11:00 pm on June 24, 1986.
All of the witnesses described it as being very large, very bright, and trailing
a tail of sparks of considerable size. Confirmation concerning reentry of s pace
junk is being awaited at this time (June 27 , 1986).

AND GUESS WHAT ELSE HAPPENED AT BENTWATERS?
In December, 1980, a UFO allegedly landed at RAF Bentwaters, a U.S. Air force
instal la tion i~ Great Britain . Contact was supposedly made by the base com-
mander and the occupants of this craft, and the entire incident was witnessed
by a great many Air Force personnel. The i ncident did occur, and the search for
more factual , detailed information continues . As one of the leading researcher s
i n t his quest, I have encountered a great number of rumors regarding the case.
The inevitable rumor mill has, in fact, been working overtime. Many of these
stories have allegedly had as their source reputable individuals who would,
because of their positions, be privy to this sort of information. As with any
rumor, one can neither prove nor disprove its accuracy. Consequently, I can
only present the stories for your evaluation. Any further information on any
of the stories would be most appreciated.
The first rumor we will consider came to my attention on in May of 1985 when
it was passed along to me by another prominent researcher. This individual had
received the story from another leading figure in the field, who allegedly had
confirmation of it through military sources. As the story goes, it is fantastic, to
say the least.
The UFO which is said to have landed in Rendelsham Forest, j ust outside the back
gate of RAF Bentwaters, is supposed to have made contact with the air traffic
control tower at the base, indicating to the personnel there that it was in
some kind of mechanical distress. It then landed.
After contac t was made with the tower, high-ranking personnel allegedly made
con tact with a group in the goverrwent known as HJ-12 (HJ-12 is a code name for
a s upposedly top-secret government research group dealing with UFOs-the name has
appeared in several un-authenticated documents sent anonymously to various re-
searchers). MJ-12 i n turn, are said to have somehow contacted a group of aliens
which they have previously communicated with, and were told by these aliens that
the craft was not "one of theirs": that is, the 'typical' large-headed, gray
skinned, spindly creatures so often reported in the literature. However, our
government's "friendly aliens" indicated they would send help to deal with
these other beings.
These particular entities were described as being red-skinned, grotesque in

appearance , with fangs and tails, As the story goes, the government's real
reason for refusing to disclose information on this case is their desire for
the existence of these red-skinned entities to remain secret. Naturally,
another whole series of rumors have developed as to why the government wants
to keep their existence a secret.
Anot her story making the rounds concerns t he Cable News Network broadcast,
"UFO: The Bentwaters Incidents'', aired in January, 1985. According to this
story, Col. John Douglas, a •e.ber of the National Security Council, sought
a private , pre-broadcast vieving of the series.
He watched the tapes, so the story has it, took copious notes, and left the
s tudio with no comment to anyone present. The c lear implication in this story
belng that the government was afraid of what may have been discovered by CNN
concerni ng the Bentwaters landing.
Since this is a rumor that could be tracked down, I wrote a Freedom of Inform-
ation request to the NSC on Hay 7, 1985, seeking any documents generated by
this visit. On September 20, 1985 I received a reply from the NSC which stated
that " ..• we found no records meeting your description."
FORTEAN I:U:.~.tA.KCH. JUUKNAL
Not satisfied with this response, l spoke directly with Col. Douglas by
telephone on December 9, 1985. He told nie that, "I'm an Air Force officer, and
my area of expertise is, generally speaking, technology. I advise the President
on various ways in which technology affects national security.''
"A friend of mine saw it [the CNN broadcast], and said, 'Gee, you should see it',
so another member of our staff knew the people down at CNN, and so I went down
there and viewed it."
Douglas stressed that he had seen it after the original broadcast date, and that
he did not understand why the whole thing had been so blown out of proportion.
He also stressed that it was not an official visit, but because of his position, he
viewed it as a courtesy which CNN granted him, because he had not seen the
segments when originally broadcast.
Of course, the response many people will have is that Col. Douglas was not being
honest about his role in the affair. However, he appeared quite s urprised that
his viewing of the tape had been so grossly misconstrued. At this point
I have no reason to doubt his word, and feel that this story can be disp.o sed of.
It pays to go to the source whenever possible.
The last major rumor I'll discuss concerns a link between the Bentwaters land-
ing and the arms race. In the April 20, 1985 issue of SAUCER SMEAR, long time
UFO researcher and "gossip colu11nist" James Moseley, reported that a "usually
reliable source in Washington, D.C." had stated that the President's Star Wars
defense program was being developed jointly by both the U.S. and the Soviet
Union. The reason for this joint effort? Star Wars was an attempt to develop
an effective defense against UFOs. And, to top it all off, this effort was
sparked by the incident at Bentwaters.
An interesting idea to say the least, but one which stretches credibility to it's
furthest limits. Or so I thought until the following appeared: Fallston,
Maryland, (AP)- President Reagan revealed Wednesday that his discussions. with
Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev touched not only on "Star Wars," but the extra-
terrestrial. In an address to students at Fallston High School , Reagan departed
from his prepared to remarks to say, "I couldn't help but say to him, just think
how easy his task and mine might be in these meetings that we held if suddenly
there was a threat to this world from some other species fr.om another planet
outside in the universe." (Lincoln, Nebraska STAR, December 5, 1985)
Things get curioser and curioser. Is this a partial confirmation of the story
from SAUCER SHEAR, or just an odd coincidence? My opinion favors the latter,
but one cannot dismiss the possibility out of hand. This is the frustating part
of research into matters of this nature. Life would be much simpler all the way
'round if we could only get all the facts anytime we wanted them.
'fhere are many additional rumors concerning the Bentwaters case which have s ur-
faced , and I believe I can say with some certainty that they will go on rear-
ing their ugly heads far into the future. This is, unfortunately, something
which we simply have to deal with in an investigation of this nature. As I
stated earlier, it is extremely foolish to dismiss even the wildest rumors
without attempting to check them. The time and effort to do this, is however,
enormous. Too many people neglect to put this effort forth, but believe me,
it is better to be disappointed by a mundane explanation than to base your
statements on completely unfounded fantasy.
Let's all keep plugging away to try and get "the facts, Ma'am, just the Eacts."

The Journal of the Fortean Research Center is published quar terly by the Fortean
Research Center, a non-profit corporation. The purpose of the Fortean Research
Center is to investigate all aspects of unexplained phenomena, including UFOs,
cryptozoo1ogical myst~ries, out-of- place animal sightings, geological and arch-
eological anomalies, psychic phenomena, and all other areas of study which may
provide data useful to the resolution of these per plexing mysteries . We also
serve as a source of accurate, reliable information for the public at large .
FOR'IEAN RESEARCH)OURNAL 2
Due to the overwhelming interest expressed in your letters, we would

like to present you with a special issue of the Journal - one de-
voted entirely to UFO-related documents released by the United States
government.
I have chosen nine different documents, five of which are fully sub-
stantiated as authentic, and four which have been supplied to various
researchers from anonymous sources. While the last four documents
cannot be substantiated as authentic, there is the distinct possibility
that they do contain a germ of truth, and may, at some future date,
be shown to be partially or wholly accurate.
The four unsubstantiated documents are clearly indicated as such

in the Table of Contents. I must stress again that I am not pre-
senting these as bona fide records of actual events. I am pre-
senting them for two reasons - 1) they may prove to be wholly or
partially legitimate, and 2) they show the danger of how easily one
can be sucked into a campaign of disinformation, concocted by persons
unknown. One must never let the will to believe out-distance the
need for solid evidence.
I hope you enjoy this issue, and now, here's a brief description
of the documents.
1. A July 15, 1947 FBI memorandum with a handwritten note from
J. Edgar Hoover, discussing FBI involvement in UFO investigations,
and containing mention of a possible crashed UFO held by the Army.
2. October 20, 1969 Air Force memo recommending the disbanding of
Project Blue Book, and giving clear indication that Blue Book
was ~ the only AF QFO investigation.
3. November 3, 1961 Air Force memo concerning Project Moon Dust
and Operation Blue Fly-2 other government projects concerned
with UFOs.
4. Septemb~r 10, 1980 Air Force report from Kirtland Air Force Base,
New Mexico, concerning the landing of UFOs in high-security
nuclear weapons storage areas.
5. January 13, 1981 Air Force memo concerning the Bentwaters incident.
6 . UNSUBSTANTIATED memo from the British Ministry of Defence con-
cerning the Bentwaters incident, and other alleged contacts.
7. UNSUBSTANTIATED November 7, 1980 Air Force memo concerning an
Air Force UFO project ~alled Project Aquarius .
8. UNSUBSTANTIATED Air Force memo concerning a UFO landing a _n d attack
on Air Force personnel at Elsworth AFB, South Dakota.
9. UNSUBSTANTIATED letter and report concerning the alleged shoot- ,
ing and killing of a UFO occupant at McGuire Air Force Base, New
Jersey, January 18, 1978.
A list of all available sets of documents from the Fortean Research

Center will be found at the end of th'is issue. Documents obtained
by the Fortean Research Center through the Freedom of Information
Act are made available to members of the Center for only the cost
of reproduction and postage . We feel that it is everyone's right
to know what their government is doing, and consequently, whether
or not our elected officials are serving our best interests .
Your comments and questions on this important subject of government

cover-up of UFO information are invited, and most welcome. Pleas~
let us know how you feel.

Unexplained lights
101
RAF/CC
1. Early in the morning of 27 Dec 80 (approxirnat ly 0300L), two USAF
security police patrolmen saw unusual lights outs1de the back gate at
RAF Woodbridge . Thinking an aircraft might have ~rashed or been forced
down, they called for permission to go outside the gate to invest~gate.
The on-rluty flight chief responded and allowed th ee 'atrolmen t~ pro-
ceed on foot . The individuals reported seeing a trange glowing object
in the forest. The object was described as bei~g talic in appearance
and triangular in shape. approximately two to thr meters across the
base and approximately two meters high. It ·111umi ated the entire forest
with a white light. The object itself had a pulsi g red light on top and
a bank(s) of blue lights underneath. The object w~s hovering or on legs . ·
As the patrolmen approac~ed the object, it maneuve ed through the trees
and disappeared. At this time the animals .on -a .ne rby farm .went; 1nto a .. -···
~renzy. The. object was -briefly·s1ghtid -apptoximat- iy an ·hour later· near
the ··back gate.
2. The next ~ay. three depress ions 1 1/2" deep an 7" in diameter were
found whe re the object had been sighted o~ the gro nd . The following
night (29 Dec 80) ·the area was checked for radiati . Beta/gamma readings
of 0.1 milliroentgens were recorded w1th peak readi gs in the three de-
pressions and near the center of the triangle forme by the depressions.
A nearby tree had moderate (.OS-.~7) readings on th' side of the tree
toward the depressions. \
3. later in the night a red sun-like light was se~~ ~~rough-the trees .
It noved about and pulsed. -At one point it appeared to throw off alowing ~
par-ticles -and then broke into five separ.ate- white -o~je.cts a'nd ·:then!"'"diS.:. -.- -

- -1_n· the sky, two objects to the north and one to th south, all of whlch
were about 100 off the horizon. The objects mqved apid1y in sharp angular
movements and displayed red, green and blue lights. the objects to the
north appeared to be elliptical through an 8-12 powe lens . They then
turned to full circles. The objects to the north re ained in the sky for
an hour or more. The object to the south was vis1b1 for two or three
ho4rs and beamed down a stream of light from time to time. Nu~nerous indtvi·

interested parties as a service only. The prices quoted cover our
costs of copying and postage. We simply feel that everyone should
have access to these documents , and, of course the more sets of eyes
that look at them, the greater the chance of something else coming
to light . The only way to break the government ' s wall of silence
is to give enough people sledgehammers .

The Journal of the Fortean Research Center is published quarterly by the Fortean
Research Center, a non-pr ofit corporation. The purpose of the Fortean Research
Center is to investigate all aspects of unexplained phenomena, including UFOs,
cryptozoological mysteries, out-of-place animal sight1ngs, geological and arch-
eological anomalies, psychic phenomena, and all other areas of study which may
provide data useful to the resolution of these perplexing mysteries. We also
serve as a source of accurate , reliable information for the public at large.
We are back again, with our final issue of 1986 . The response
to our last issue, dealing with UFO-related documents was truly
staggering. Because of this interest, and because of the 80-plus
letters we received, we are featuring another special issue 1 this
one dealing with a government project known as PROJECT MOON DUST .
I am including in this issue the entire file of documents, and

most of the correspondence between myself and the various govern-
ment agencies regarding PROJECT MOON DUST . The project itself,
and its areas of concern seem to encompass not only the retrieval
of crashed space debris, but also the retrieval of crashed UFOs.
See page 15, paragraph number two, or as it is designated, " c",
for this statement.
Also of great interest to me was the correspondence regarding these

documents, in which the CIA and the Air Force Intelligence Service
strongly imply that PROJECT MOON DUST is indeed concerned with UFOs .
Note also , that the correspondence indicates that the project is
still active. What was that the government said about no longer
having an interest in UFOs?
At any rate, the - information is now yours. If anyone has any add-
ional information they would like to share on this, please let us
know.
Please be aware that with this issue, your subscription will expire .
We run our subscriptions per calendar year , rather than for four
consecutive issues spanning more than one year. Believe me, it
saves a lot of ~ookkeeping headaches for a fledgling publication
like ours. •
Subscription rates will remain the same, $15 . 00 per year, and our
many overseas subscribers will continue to receive the Journal by
air mail as long as our financial situati~n will allow. We hope
to have you all return as subscribers - your support is greatly
appreciated, and so are the many kind letters of support we have
received. It is nice to know the publication is appreciated.
Beginning with next year's first issue, we will drop the UFO
subject (unless the government comes clean in the meantime) and
move on into other areas of Fortean phenomena. Next issue will
~nclude a complete history of Bigfoot (or bipedal humanoids as I
prefer to call them) sightings in Nebraska , and several other gems .
Again, thank you one and all for the overwhelming support which
you have given us, and we hope to have you back again next year
for even more voyages into the unexplained.
Best wishes for a prosperous

New Year,

the inception date of PROJECT MOON DUST, whichever is earlier,
through and inclusive of December 31, 1985, or the discontinuance
of PROJECT MOON DUST, whichever is later.
Enclosed for your benefit are several documents released by the
Defense Intelligence Agency which refer to PROJECT MOON DUST. These
should be sufficient to enable a professional employee of the
agency to locate the record with a reasonable amount of effort.
As a member of a chartered, non-profit public servic~ organizatio~,

P. O. Box 94627

Dear Mr. Boeche:
This is further to our letter of 9 January 1986 regarding your
2 January 1986 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for infor-
mation "'n a "Project Moon Dust" on the subject of UFOs, which your
enclosures indicate to be a DIA project . (F86-0009).
There is no organized Central Intelligence Agency effort to
do research in connection with the UFO phenomena, nor has there
been an organized effort to study or collect intelligence on UFOs
since the 1950s. At that time, the Air Force, specifically the
Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright Patterson Air Force
Base, had the primary responsibility for the investigation of all
reports of UFO sightings. The CIA's role was in connection with a
Scientific Advisory Panel , established to investigate and evaluate
reports of UFOs. The panel was concerned only with any aspect of
the UFO phenomena which might prove to present a potential threat
to the United States national security. The panel later issued a
report of its findings, the Report of the Scientific Panel on
Unidentified Flying Objects- 17 January 1953, also known as the
Robertson Report. The report was released by the Air Force Office
of Public Information on 9 April 1958 . The Air Force investi-
gation, called Project Bluebook, was terminated in 1969 . We
understand that the Air Force turned its records on this subject
over to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA),
where they are available for inspection and purchase. There is
currently no CIA program to actively collect information on UFOs,
although, since the time of the Robertson Report, there have been
sporadic instances of correspondence dealing with the subject, and
we occasionally receive various kinds of unsolicited reports of
sightings of objects in the UFO category.
As of this date, the Agency has released to numerous previous

requesters 819 pages of UFO-related documents under t·he Freedom of
Information Act. These documents are not indexed, and most of the
material deals with matters related to the report by the Scientific
Advisory Panel. We should advise you that most of the reports
dealing with the UFO sightings considered by the Panel originated
with other government agencies such as the Air Force, and that much
of the later CIA-originated reports concern sightings as reported
in the foreign news media. We also must advise you that, at the
time this released material was first located, in response to
inquiries under the Freedom of Information Act, many of the
original documents had already been destroyed in accordance with
routine records destruction schedules and, as a consequence, many
of the copies available in our microfiche archives are of poor
quality. If you want copies of these documents, the cost is ten
cents per page for reproduction charges. Please send us your check
or money order for $81.90, made payable to the Treasurer of the
United States, and cite our number FSS-1418 to insure proper credit
to your account.
We also wish to point out that the originating agency controls
the release of any documents under the FOIA. Therefore, if the CIA
had located any material concerning "Project Moon Dust" in response
to previous FOIA requests, such material would have been referred
back to DIA for their determination as to release.
We await your early response concerning your interest in the
previously released documents.
Sincerely,
I

Ms. Anne Turner

Dear Ms. Turner:
Thank you for your help in locating records pursuant to my
2 January 1986 FOIA request concerning Project Moon Dust. If
you would be so kind, I have, however, one or two further questions
regarding this project.
1) I have rec,ived respopaes from Air Force Intelligence Service
at Ft. Belvoir, and from HQ Foreign Technology Division at Wright-
Patterson AFB. I have not, however, heard from HQ Space Command.
Per your letter of 10 January 1986, you indicated that you had for-
warded my request to these agencies. Can you tell me when HQ Space
Command will reep6od?
2) In the response I received from HQ FTD at Wright-Patterson AFB,
they indicated that they no longer had records concerning Project
Moon Dust, as they were ~ longer the office of primary respon-
sibility for the project. They seemed to imply that the project
was still active. Is the project still active?
3) HQ Foreign Technology Division indicates they are no longer the
office of primary responsibility for the project. Wh.ch agency
is currently the OPR for the project, and when did it transfer from
HQ FTD?
4) What w•s the date ·of inception for Project Moon Dust?
I am asking for this information under the terms of the U.S Freedom
of Ilformation Act. Any help you could provide would be greatly
appreciated. Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Ray W. Boeche

Dear Mr . Boeche
This is in response to your letter dated 27 January 1986.
Our answers follow the same order of the numbered items in
your letter.
1) Air Force Space Command mailed their reply to you on 27 January.
2) The Moon Oust project is no longer active within the
Air Force .
3) Department of State is the OPR for this project and always
has been. FTD was OPR for Air Force.
4) The date of inception is unknown but believed to be in
the early 1960s.
Although the Freedom of Information Act was designed for requesting
specific records, and not answering questions, we have tried to
be helpful in this instance. In the future, when writing under the
Freedom of Information Act, please insure you are requesting records;
perhaps the Public Affairs office could help you with any future
qu tions you may have .

Please be aware that we make these sets of documents available to
costs of copying and postage. We simply feel that everyone should
have access to these documents, and, of course the more sets of eyes
that look at them, the greater the chance of something else coming
to light. The only way to break the government's wall of silence
is to give enough people sledgehammers.

The Joumel ot the Forteen Reaeerch Center 1s published quarterly by the Fortean Research Center. a

unexplained phenomena. includmg UFOs. cryptozoological mysteries, out-of-place animal sightmgs,
geological and archeological anomalies. psychic phenomena. and all other areas of study wh1ch may
provide data useful to the resolution of these perplexing mysteries. We serve as a source of accurate.
reliable information for the public at large.
- A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR
We meet again, with what I hope you'll find an interesting collection of

Forteana, The illustration on the front cover, if you are wondering, is
explained in our chronological history of bipedal humanoid sightings. Al-
though the creature is not humanoid, it was described as bipedal. See ~he
October 31, 1968 entry in the above mentioned article for the particulars.
I apparently committed a grave error in my last note to you, regarding our

coverage of UFO material. When I stated that we would drop the subject, 1
only meant we would not be devoting full issues to the subject for a while,
unless, as I mentioned then, the government comes clean. Please don't worry,
our investigation of UFOs will continue to be chronicled in these pages.
Linda Howe, the producer of the excellent documentary A Strange Harvest, has
contributed an update on animal mutilations. Linda is one of the leading in-
vestigators of these events, and we are grateful for her contribution to this
issue. Videotape copies of her documentary are available directly from her,
and if you are at all interested in this subject, I would highly recommend
obtaining a copy. Her address is: Linda Moulton Howe, 3208 East Fremont
Drive, Littleton, Colorado 80122. She will be happy to provide anyone in-
terested with complete details.
1987 promises to be an exciting year for the investigation of the unexplained.

Our book review section shows two good reasons for this. And, 1987 being
the fortieth anniversary of the beginning of the modern UFO age, we can only
hope that forty years of coverup by the United States government with regard
to this subject will be enough. Several new and promising areas of exploration
have recently been opened through the Freedom of Information Act, and only time
will tell if we can obtain information of significance. If we do, you will be
among the first to know.
Currently in the works are two cases involving the alleged crash of a UFO, with
recovery by the government. If these pan out, and something substantial can
be learned, we will have full details in the Journal as soon as possible. We
are also in the procews of writing a series of surveys on the unexplained, to
be distributed among several target groups. As we complete work on this and ob-
tain the results we· will let you in on the attitudes we discover.
Hopefully, by the time the next issue is out, we will have a ruling by the In-
ternal Revenue Service regarding our tax-exempt status. On behalf of the entire
Board of Directors, I would like to ask that you please keep us in mind when
making plans for charitable contributions. We hope to resume our series of
conferences on the unexplained, expand our investigations into areas which we
simply couldn't afford to research, and bring you bigger and better reports on
our work. We can only make it with your help .
Until next time, thanks for your continued support, and let us know what you
think about our efforts.
----- All the best,
Ray W. Boeche, Director

EIPEDAL HUMANOIDS IN NEBRASKA: A CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS

This report concerns itself with what are commonly known as Bigfoot sightings.
However, because of the variety of some of the types of creatures described
by witnesses, I prefer to term these creatures bipedal humanoids . We will
be concerned with the reports of all of these types of creatures, with the ex-
ception of entities described directly in relationship to UFO landings. It
seems prudent to make this distinction.
The following listing is comprehensive to date. If any readers are aware of any
incidents which may have been omitted, please let us know. We have tried to
be as definitive as possible, but, alas, we are not infallible.
1895 and earlier - While no published reports exist (to our knowledge) many
stories abound concerning a town called Minersville, in the southeastern corner
of the state. Built in an area where coal mining prevailed for some time in the
mid-1800s, the town no longer exists. However, many older residents in the
area have given verbal reports over the years that stories concerning some type
of large two-legged monster have been prevalent since their childhood. Many
of these reports were collected by the author in the mid-1960s, when some of the
reporters were already well into their eighties. A tradition of strange events
surrounds this particular area.
1950s - reports over a period of several years concerned sightings of a monkey-

like creature frequenting the area near Exeter; a number of tracks were also
found.
1959, December 13 - Billy Hauschild, 14, of Ravenna, was hunting on his grand-
mother's farm east of town, when he saw what appeared to be a large, white
creature with black hands and face. When he started toward the creature, it
raised up and looked directly at him. He ran in a panic back to his grand-
mother's house. Later that afternoon, Carol Craig, 18, was in a car with
several friends, and as they were about to drive over a bridge in the same
vicinity as the first sighting, she observed a creature identical in appearance
to the one seen earlier. The creature was seen by Miss Craig near the roadside.
The reports were made independently of each other, with neither party knowing
of the other's sighting. The creature was not reported again, and some ten
days later, Miss Craig recanted her testimony under what appeared to be pressure
from her parents.
1968, October 31 - An animal of unknown species, walking on its hind legs was
struck and killed by a truck near Falls City. It walked exclusively on its hind
le~s. and was injured when it darted in front of the truck. It then walked off
the highway into a ditch where it was shot by one of the drivers. While bear-
ing a superficial resemblance to a raccoon, neither the game warden, nor one
of the truck drivers, who was also a trapper, could identify it. The state
Game and Parks Commission was also unable to determine its identity.
1968, November 24 - Reports had been received daily by the Nebraska City Police
Department concerning a monster seen near Minersville. The creature was de-
scribed as about six feet tall, with a wolf-like face, a body resembling that
of a bear, and walking upright. Several area residents had discovered footprints
in the area (approximately 16" long, and 5-7"across the ball of the foot). One
girl driving through the area had the trunk of her car caved in by the creature.
Livestock and wildlife in the area were reported to "go crazy'' at times. One 11
year old boy was grabbed by the creature and thrown into a ditch. As mentioned
earlier, reports from this area have occurred since the mid-1800s, and still con-
tinue sporadically.
FORTEANRESEARCHJOURNAL 5
1969, August - A farmer (name on file) who had rented some land near Minersville
was checking his crop near sunset. As he stood facing ·st, looking toward the
field, he saw a man-like shadow approaching his, which was stretched out in front
of him . Thinking it was the man from whom he was leasing the land, he turned
to greet him, and saw a large, hair covered form, 6!-7 feet in heighth. He
screamed, ran for his truck, and refused to return to the area. He turned his
crop over to the owner of the land, simply to avoid having to go back and harvest
it.
1972, September 26- Several . Gering residents had been hunting for a large hairy,
man-like creat~re seen in the area for about a week. No firm traces were ever
found.
1973, April 27 - Four sisters, aged 13 to 18, were outside their farm home near
Crete, when they heard brush crashing in a thicket of trees about 100 feet from
the house. They watched as a hairy creature broke into the open, and then
crouched on the ground. It then stood, appeared to look at them and moved
quickly, in a side-stepping manner, into a field close at hand, where it broke
into a run, and disappeared into the distance. Creature was described as 6 to 8
feet in heighth.
1973, October 9 - Several individuals near Fort Calhoun reported sighting a

large brown, upright animal. Washington County Sheriff Bert Spanton went to
the area and found tracks he described as five-toed, and measuring about seven
by seven inches.
1973, November 30 - A set oftracks of an unknown animal were found near Battle
Creek, by two Madison County appraisers. The tracks appeared to have been made
by some type of two-legged creature, this being judged by their spacing. The
tracks measured 8! inches long and 5 inches wide.
1974 August -Throughout the month of August, Oakland residents reported seeing
a large, hair covered creature. Generally described as being about six feet tall,
and about three feet wide across the chest, and making hideous screaming, screech-
ing sounds, authorities variously tried to explain it as a bear, a mountain lion,
and an elk, none of which are native to the area. Most often described as walking
upright, it was occassionally seen to move on all fours.
1974, September 11 - Reports circulated around York for about a week concerning
a large hairy creature seen by many area residents. Most observers described
a creature about 8 feet in heighth, and estimated to weigh over 1000 pounds.
A York city police officer saw the creature September 9, and gave his description
of the creature as 3!-S feet in heighth.
1975, June 13 -A trucker, driving about five miles north of Nebraska City, re-
ported to authorities that he had observed a coal-black, furry creature, about
a foot in heighth jumping up and down on the highway. Although the trucker was
unable to see the creature's head, he did notice four sharp teeth. The thing
was reportedly jumping about a foot off the ground. Authorities were unable to
locate any trace of the creature.
1975, December 9 -Two twenty-three year old men were walking home about 10:00 pm
in southeast Lincoln, when they saw a large man-like form, completely hair covere~
standing between two houses. The creature turned and walked away, and they
watched as it came to a six-foot high privacy fence, and putting its hand on top
of the fence, vaulted it without breaking stride. They estimated the creature
as being between 8 and 9 feet tall.
1976, August - On a farm south of Lincoln. Woman was sitting on back porch
near dusk when the birds and animals suddenly grew silent. She was facing
southwest, and saw her horses acting in a disturbed fashion. She then noticed
a figure silhoutted against the sky, about 300 yards away. This figure
began to run through her pasture toward her position. As the creature grew
closer, her dogs knocked her down in their frantic attempt to get into the
bouse. She watched as the creature broke through the wire fence, crossed the
farmyard about thirty feet away from her, run across the road toward a brush pile,
and disappear. She was adamant that there was plenty of light still in the sky,
and that the creature simply vanished. She was able to collect hair samples from
the fence, and attempted to turn these over to the Game and Parks Commission, but
they refused to investigate.
1980, July 5 - Lincoln police investigated a complaint from a motorcycle driver
who had to "dump" his vehicle to avoid hitting a 7-foot tall, 300+ pound
animal which ran in front of him at 26 and Fairfield streets. The frightened
cyclist described the creature as having long, dark hair, looked like an ape,
and smelled like a creek. Police investigated, but were unable to find any further
trace of the animal.
1982, December 11- A man and his fiance were returning to Utica from a friend's
wedding, at about 1:00am. While driving along the highway, they observed a
creature described as being about six feet tall, with the appearance of a
human from the waist up, but appearing to be "goat-like" from the waist down.
Both described it as looking like depictions of Pan. It was described as
having long hair, and self-luminous glowing yellow eyes. After passing the creature,
they stopped the car, turned around, and observed it again through the back win-
dow of the automobile. Neither individual drinks, and their credibility is
above reproach.
1986, June 13-20 - Macy area residents reported sightings of a creature about
8 feet tall, which left three-toed tracks 15 inches long, and 7! inches from
the largest to smallest toe. Authorities who examined the tracks could offer
no definitive answers. Police seemed satisfied that no hoax had occurred.
The accounts listed above have been thoroughly investigated, and exist as the
true anomalous residue which cannot be explained. Some forty other incidents
which were explained as being simple misidentifications of animals, or their
tracks, or simply an imagination working overtime, have been discarded.
We would like the reader to be aware that when reports are made in this Journal,
they have been thoroughly investigated, unless otherwise noted. Readers may
remember the mention in our first issue, concerning something called Milo Man.
Well, in the ensuing year, we have been unable to collect any further sighting
corroboration, so for the time being, we do not feel justified in including
those events in this catalogue.
If a case is brought to the reader's attention, and they can provide further
information which may reverse our decision on a particular incident, please feel
free to contact us. We hope to provide the public with the most accurate in-
formation we can, and your assistance in doing this will be greatly appreciated.
If we can successfully separate the wheat from the chaff, we are that much
closer to a final answer in any question concerning the unexplained.

Marine patrol officers have towed to sea the decomposed body of an elephant
found in a canal near the Florida Keys town of Marathon. How the elephant got
the re remains a myster y. None are known to live in the area.
"We had no missing elephant reports," said Marine Patrol Capt. M~ke long. Officials
speculated that the an~mal may have died on a ship and been thrown overboard .

A frustated, lovesick ape, apparently seeking a mate, has been terrorizing

women at Sonepat in the northern Indian state of Haryana for the past few weeks,
the United News of India news agency reported. The beast regularly pursues women
through the main street of the town, and has sunk its teeth into at least two
dozen women so far. All attempts by police to catch the animal have failed .•

A 14 year old Nebraska boy playing at Arnolds Park in northwest Iowa stumbled
across an alligator skull on Monday. Curtis Marti of Lincoln, NE, unearthed
the alligator skull while playi ng in the sand. Officials say the skull is in
excellent condition . The scene was a little different for three fisher men at
Black Hawk Creek near Waterloo, Iowa. Jeff Ny of Waterloo said he and two others,
Dennis Rokusek of Waterloo and Rokusek's brother-in-law, Todd Kramer, were fish-
ing in the creek when they spotted what appeared to be an alligator. Ny said
the 6-foot critter opened its mouth , showed some teeth, and went back under
the water. (The Lincoln (NE) Star, August 13, 1986)
Geologists will have to do some digging to determine what happened to Cedar Lake,
a 75-acre manmade lake that vanished in early November . The water drained
through a l ong crevice in the lake bed Friday night and traveled about a quarter
mile underground before coming out the side of a hill. "We need an inspect-
ion trench to really see what happened," said Cec il Bearden, state senior water
resources engineer. "We have some ideas, but they're just ideas." A cavern in
the dry lake bed is large enough to "bur y a bus in" , said Dale Phenis, one of
the 600 stockholders who own the lake. "It gives you t he willies when you look
at it," Phenis said . (The Lincoln (NE) Star, November 11, 1986)
A man discovered an object identified by a pathologist as part of a human fi nger

in his plate of a canned Mexican stew after his family had already consumed some

Tallahassee, Florida police were working with the FBI to locate the parents of
rour boys and two girls age 2 to 7, found in a park with two men thought to be
members of a cult known as the Finders. The children were dirty and insect
bitten, and more than one showed signs of sexual abuse, said Tallahassee police
investigator Cheryl Weigand. Meanwhile, photographs of three children and three
white-robed men dismembering two goats were included in a Virginia state police
affidavit seeking a search warrant for two farms linked to the Finders . The
photo album had been seized in an earlier search of Finders property in Wash-
ington, D. C. Among the pictures were those of a crying child looking at a de-
capitiated goat, another captioned "Ben finds Henrietta's womb," and three others
showing children playing with goat fetuses . (Lincoln (NE) Journal, February 10,

A Bengal tiger was shot and killed on Interstate 75 as it charged law enforce-
ment officers who had hoped to tranquilize it. The animal, which weighed be-
tween 250 and 400 pounds was shot about two hours after it was first spotted by
Georgia State Patrol officer Mike Reese. Reese said the tiger darted in front
of a truck, then crouched in a ditch, "He seemed nervous and scared, and we kept
our headlights on him the whole time and blew our horns at him when he looked
like he was getting restless," said Sgt. Gerald Moses of the state patrol. When
the tiger charged, veterinarian Dennie Bassham tried to shoot it with a tran-
quilizer gun but failed. Moses then used a shotgun loaded with buckshot to
kill the tiger. Authorities did not know where the tiger came from. (Lincoln

A colorful streak of light flashed across the night sky from eastern New York
to Hassachussetts, puzzling sky watchers and making telephones light up at police
and TV stations. The reports described an orange light with a green tail that
zipped southward about 8:45pm February 26 . The light lasted three or four sec-
onds. Authorities speculated that the object was either a fireball or a piece
of space debris re-entering the earth's atmosphere. No satellite's had been
targeted as due to break up, however, according to Space Command officials at
Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado. (Llincoln (NE) Journal February 27, 1987)
STRANGE HARVEST: ANMAL MllfiLATION UPDATE

Linda Moulton Howe
Mysterious animal mutilations go back to at least 1967 and the famous "Snippy''
the horse case. Snippy was the Apaloosa mare found stripped of flesh from the
neck up in the sand dune valleys near Alamosa, Colorado. That story went world-
wide, and linked UFOs with the horse's strange death.
In the early '70's, mutilations were reported in the Great Lakes area, and in
Pennsylvania •. Then something caused a dramatic shift of these events to the
midwestern and western United States. Beginning in 1975, Sheriffs in Logan and
Elbert counties in Colorado were investigating as many as three mutilations a
day. Many of these animals were still warm to the touch, dead for only minutes
or hours, but the bodies were carved in strange ways . Usually an ear, an eye,
and the tongue were removed. Many of the eyes had a neat, round patch of hide
about three inches in diameter removed , beginning at the lower eyelid, and ex-
tending onto the forhead. Often, one half of the face was stripped so cleanly,
the exposed bones appeared sun-bleached. In almost every case , the rectum was
"cored out", leaving about a 4inch by 6 inch hole. Usually the udder and/or
teats of a female animal were cut away , and the penis and/or scrotum of male
animals were removed.
In spite of these extensive wounds, there wasn't any blood at the scene. This
was one of the first signals to ranchers and law enforcement officers that some-
thing bizarre was happening. The "cookie cutter" appearance of many of the cuts,
and the lack of blood are quite unnatural. 1 have seen seven mutilated animals,
including a horse that looked as i f it could get up and walk away - even though
it had been killed and mutilated three weeks earlier.
It has been twenty years since the Snippy case, and about ten years since the
unexplained, intensive harvest of animal parts began in the 1970's. The
strange harvest continues:
1986
August 25 , 1986, near Trinidad, Colorado. A yearling bull seen alive by its
owner the evening of August 24 was found dead and mutilated the next morning.
The nose, upper and lower lips had been removed in a clean cut that made a 360°
circle about four inches back from the tip of the cQw's nose. The tongue had
been cut out from deep inside the throat. One eye was missing. A long, straight
cut had been made from one side of the rib cage to the other. From the ends of
this cut, on either side, two more strainght cuts had been made, which extended
to the rectum. The result was a large, triangular section of missing tissue which
included the genitals and rectum.
The Trinidad Sheriff's office sent Deputy Mike Bailey to take photos and make a
report. Following this, Lou Girodo of the Trinidad District Attorney's office
visited the site, along with Trinidad mayor, Dr. Ron Sanders.
In September, 1986, 1 drove to Trinidad to talk with Girodo and Sanders. Lou
Girodo had been working in the District attorney's office for severl years, and
had been the chief investigator of animal mutilations during the period of 1975-
1979, when law enforcement agencies were trying to cope with investigat ions of
many mutilation cases each month. I first met Lou when I was producing the doc-
umentary film , A STRANGE HARVEST in 1979 for the CBS affiliete in Denver. Lou
and I had sat across from each other late one night in his office with a camera
running. When I asked him who he thought was behind the mutilations, he startled
me by saying, " •• • who is doing this now is very possibly creatures not of this
planet."
Talking with Lou seven years later, he hadn't changed his mind. He said that
unexplained red lights had been seen three nights before this most recent mut-
ilation, by neighbors of the mutilated animl's owner. Three weeks later, on
September 18, 1986, two teenagers driving home around 8 pm saw a ''silent light
hovering over their house." Sarah Gerald and Dino Rino each drew a fu.,..·y circ-
ular object with two red lights and one blue light in a triangular pattern, to
show Lou Girodo what they had seen.
Concerning the mutilated bull, Mayor Dr. Sanders said as a medically trained
professional (he is a dentist), he knew he was looking at cuts made with a sharp
instrument.
In 1986, there were also mutilation reports from escalante, Utah; Guntersville,
Alabama; Oja Sarco and Chimayo, New Mexico. When Oja Sarco rancher Orlando
Sanchez found his six-year:-old Black Angus cow missing her udder, rectum, left
eyeball, and lip, from bloodless cuts, he said, "I didn't even think it (the
mutilation phenomenon) was true until I seen it." H had seen the cow alive at
7 pm on June 6, and found her mutilated carcass twelve hours later, at 7 am, June
7' 1986.
1985
My 1985 files contain only a handful of cases from ranchlands as diverse as Corpus
Christi, Texas; Chimayo, New Mexico; and Ogallala, South Dakota. It was, how-
ever, the town of Scepic, South Dakota that had a mix of several UFO reports and
a mutilation .
Mike Heathershaw was born and raised on his ranch at the northern edge of the
Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. On March 8, he found an 8-year-old cow dead and
mutilated . She had given birth to a calf two days before on March 6 .
"I've seen a lot of dead animals eaten by buzzards and coyotes," said Heathershaw,
"but not with these characteristics. No blood whatsoever." As a matter of fact,
the only blood visible on the animal consisted of two odd tracks, "crying"
from the eyes, a short distance down the nose. The cow was found in a grassy
pasture with no tracks around her. The whole udder had been cut out cleanly,
"like with a knife . " The rectum was also cleanly removed, leaving a four-inch
wide hole.
I asked Heathershaw if he had seen any other mutilations on his ranch before.
"No," he said. "I laughed at them before. But this has nothing to do with
coyotes. They chew and eat more." Heathershaw never found the dead cow's
two-day-old calf.
That same week, Phyllis Clifford of Porcupine, South Dakota saw a light over the
Badlands "change colors from all red to all green to all white." There was a
red light on top and a greenish haze around the center of it . Phyl.lis said
she could not hear any sound associated with the light.
In March, David Brewer with the Pine Ridge Bureau of Indian Affairs, reported
sighting red and green lights dropping down into a village west of Pine Ridge.
At Slim Butte, several miles west of Pine Ridge, Tommy LaDeaux said he saw the
"biggest light I've ever seen" moving along the ground. He estimated the
diameter of the light to be 300 feet.
Pine Ridge Judge Nancy Perez saw a light sit down in her yard and called police
who came and saw nothing. As soon as the police left, the light "came back
on and t ook off."
While all this was going on in South Dakota, a five-year-old Hereford cow in
Chimayo, New Mexico, was attacked by mutilators. Rancher Tony Martinez
found her udder had been cut out in a circle and so had her rectum. She had
been alive the day before. The other cows in the pasture were spooked. "It
seemed like they were scared by something," said Martinez.
By May, more was happening in South Dakota. In Ogallala, on a very remote

pasture 15 miles north of Pine Ridge, rancher Eldon Lessert found his six-year-
old Black Angus cow dead with the "udder completely removed very smoothly in
one cut, almost a circle or oval that sagged away from the belly." A little
further outside that cut, the hide had half a dozen very small holes "punched
out -sort of in a line." The rectum was taken with a "very neat cut", which
formed one large hole with intestines extruding. This is one of the few cases
shere the rancher reported "a little bolld on the hide, but more on the ground."
Lessert said, "Some very sharp knife was used to cut these wounds, nothing
jagged. Just smooth cuts . "
Lessert's cow had a three-week-old calf that would stand about 300 yards away
from its dead mother and bawl - it refused to approach any closer.
WHO? WHY?
My files get much thicker as we g? back to 1984 and the years before. The
association of mutilations with unidentified flying objects is strong and
dramatic in many cases. As Deputy Sheriff Bill Waugh said in Elbert County,
Colorado: "Those big orange balls of light was always associated with the
mutilations."
If extraterrestrial biological entities (EBEs) are harvesting odd parts from our
animals, what are they doing with them? One speculation is the harvest of DNA
to create biological robots. In the context of that speculation, the work of
Dr. James Womack at Texas A & H University is perhaps pertinent. In February
1984, Dr. Womack reported in the national journal Genetic Maps, that big chunks
of cattle chromosomes are identical to large sections of human chromosomes.
''We must have more in common than previously believed," said Dr. Womack. Humans
carry 23 pairs of chromosomes which contain all hereditary factors. Cows have
30 pair.
Further, in 1986, it was reported from Texas Tech University that cow's blood
can be used as an emergency blood transfusion substitute because the hemo-
globin so closely matches human blood. These unexpected and recently discovered
similarities about cows and humans might offer some clues about the mutilation5.
If the EBEs are using cow parts because the DNA is close to that of humans, what
kind of biological robots are they makin? Are they secretly among us - an
invasion from within?
Why was there such intense "harvesting" activity between 1975 and 1980? It
has steadily dropped off, but not disappeared. Did something special happen
in the cosmos then? Or was the harvesting in anticipation of some alien
need?
From the human point of view, it's a one-way trade route. Whatever is taken
irii'liil"hat~nd ~er~ni~
From Stan Gordon, Director of the Pennsylvania Association for the Study of
the Unexplained (6 Oak Hill Avenue, Greensburg, PA 15601) comes this update
on animal mutilations in Pennsylvania:
"A classic cattle mutilation case occurred on November 3, 1986 in a rural area
near the city of Uniontown in Fayette County, Pennsylvania. These types of
cases are very rarely reported in this section of the country. Coincidentally
(or is it?) this case occurred in a very active 'window' area where at least
two famous UFO and Bigfoot incidents have occurred. In this case, a 700
pound cow was found dead, by it's owner. The end of the tail was sharply
cut off. The left ear was removed along with a small section of skin from the
head area. All of the teats were missing from the udder. the carcass appeared
to have been drained of all blood. there was also no sign of blood in the field
where the animal was found. Neither the owner nor the police who investigated
had secured the opinion of a veterinarian to determine the cause of death.
It was stated that the killing was likely associated with a satanic cult in
the area, yet no evidence was ever forthcoming to prove this point.
Another multiple cattle mutilation case which occurred in the same general area
as the previous incident was uncovered while investigating the first situation.
It was learned that on a large farm near Perryopolis, 11 cows were found dead
in an unusual manner within a one-week period in mid-June of 1985. The actual
mutilation wounds varied from animal to animal. In some cases the tail was
removed. One cow was found with both ears cut off. Common to all of the kill-
ings was the fact that a hole about 8 inches in diameter was found in the chest
area of each carcass. Once again, neither the land owner, nor the police
attempted to follow up with a medical opinion. The police had assumed that the
large holes indicated that the cows were probably shot before the mutilations
occurred. We question why someone would go to the trouble of shooting these
large animals in the chest, when they could easily have shot them in the head.
(Not to mention the fact that an 8 inch diameter hole would seem to indicate
an extremely large caliber weapon-a bazooka for instance/RWB) When we inter-
viewed the police, they indicated that they were unfamiliar with the classic
mutes, and are now unsure of their opinions. They say that what they found
gave no evidence of a cult killing.

A TRUE STORY BY
WHITLEY
STRIEBER
Co-<Jut hor of W;\1~ D;\ Y
If the first few months are any indication, 1987 would seem to be a bumper year
for UFO-related books. January saw the release of COMMUNION (Morrow Books, N.Y.
$17.95) by Whitley Strieber. Strieber, the author of such well-known novels as
Warday, Wolfen, The Hunger, and Nature's End, has written a compelling story of
his own abduction by the occupants of a UFO.
The consciously remembered events began for him in December of 1985. Subsequent
investigation through hypnotic regression indicated, however, that he may have
undergone a series of abductions beginning in childhood. This is typical of many
such cases. There is also evidence that his wife and son may have been abducted
as well.
His initial reaction to theses memories was to suspect his sanity. After under-
going a complete course of neurological tests, it was clear that no pathological
cause (brain tumor, epelepsy, etc.), was responsible . Psychological testing re-
vealed a very normal individual, in good mental health, . and completely sane. The
only viable explanation remaining was that the events were real.
Strieber is obviously risking a great deal by publishing this book. His reputation
and credibility as a serious writer could suffer greatly. His courage in revealing
this story, and his obvious need to make the public aware of the reality of
these events are commendable.
Whether these events are the result of actual intervention by extraterrestrials,

or some heretofore unrecognized psychological aberration, the evidence for the
reality of these events is overwhelming. Hundreds of these cases have been
thoroughly investigated by competent researchers and thousands more are yet to
be uncovered. Regardless of the causal agent, this phenomenon represents an
important area of study. (I might also state that the physical evidence in the
form of scars borne by many of the abductees, for example, argues compellingly,
and I believe, convincingly, against a purely psychological delusion.)
Having worked with several abduction victims myself, I am acutely aware of the
psychological trauma they suffer, and the social stigma attached to their claims.
As I write this, COMMUNION is number two on the New York Times Bestseller List.
Hopefully, the thousands who are reading this book will gain an appreciation of
the reality of these events. More importantly, they may grasp the need to study
these events further, and will also see the danger in dismissing these claims
out-of-hand.
While COMMUNION will focus public attention on the abduction phenomena, the real
meat is to be found elsewhere.
On t he night of June 30, 1983, Kathie Davis arrived home around 7:15 pm, ate
supper, and put her two young boys to bed . It was the beginning of what seemed
to be an ordinary evening. Before the night was over, Kathie Davis would ex-
perience something so terrifying, so extraordinary, that it would be months be-
fore she remembered - and only under hypnosis - the full story of what actually
happened. INTRUDERS: The Incredible Visitations at Copley Woods (Random House,
$17 . 95) is Kathie's story- a story that constitutes one of the most thoroughly
researched and documented cases of UFO abduction on record and suggests an astound-
ing explanation behind this phenomenon: human beings are being abducted by aliens
for what author Budd Hopkins feels is an ongoing series of genetic experiments.
Impossible? That's what Budd Hopkins initially thought too. Even after invest-
igating more than 125 cases over the past 12 years, he still finds it hard to
believe. But the evidence is overwhelming. In INTRUDERS, the author of Missing
Time leads us through rational, intelligent investigations, asking only that we
not prejudge. In the Copley Woods case Hopkins enlisted the skills of chemists,
radiologists, medical practitioners, psychologists and other specialists. Kathie
was subjected to in-depth psychological tests, interviews , and "lie detection"
in the form of voice stress analysis administered by a professional in the field.
And she spent many painful. emotional hours under hypnosis reliving a series of
abductions that had taken place over the course of her lifetime. Her story is
corroborated by neighbors , friends, family and - most convincingly - by hun-
dreds of other abduction victims who have had no contact with each other and who
come from every walk of life in every part of the country.
I have known Budd for several years, and can attest to his credibility and ability
as an investigator. I am convinced that Budd Hopkins has produced one of , if
not the most important book ever written on the UFO phenomena. What comes across
most vividly in INTRUDERS is the sense of shame, fear and confusion experienced
by abduction victims and Hopkins' meticulous, compassionate search for the truth .
What he hears from them is, "I can't believe this is happening to me." No matter
what you think, says Hopkins, hear their stories. Examine the evidence . What
you ultimately decide may surprise you.

interested , please contact us for more information.
Thank you f or your support.
The Journal of the Fortean Reaearch Center is published quarterly by the Fortean Research Center, a
unexplained phenomena, including UFOs, cryptozoologica/ mysteries. out-of-place animal sightmgs.
geological and archeological anomalies. psychic phenomena, and aft other areas of study which may
provide data useful to the resolution of these perplexing mysteries. We serve as a source of accurate,
reliable informa tion for the public at large.
This issue of the Journal is dedicated solely to information re-

leased by researcher William L. Moore. While the Fortean Research
Center is not in a position to authenticate ££endorse this material,
we feel that it is quite important that this material is studied
and evaluated before being judged. Far too many people who like
to call themselves researthers are always ready to offer a definitive
rebuttal to anything they do not discover themselves. If they wish
others to seriously consider their criticisms , they should first ·
be willing to dig in and actually do the research needed to speak
with authority on any given issue . The days of arm-chair pontif-
icators and pompous hobbyists are past. We need cooperative, think-
ing, dedicated individuals to seek a solution to the UFO enigma.
My own attempts to obtain a verification or denial of these documents

continues. The White House Press Secretary's Office refuses to
comment on the documents. The Department of the Air Force has another
of their standard "canned" responses. Former Presidential adviser
Clark Clifford, one of Harry Truman's most trusted colleagues has
stated that he does not recall ever having been made aware of matters
discussed in these documents. However, we will continue to probe
in an attempt to discover more.
The first set of· documents in this issue were released by Bill Moore
through his publication FOCUS. The second set of documents consist
of a more complete, uncensored version of one of the documents in
the first group. Two of the documents are rather hard to read, so
a more legible copy vas typed and follows each hard-to-read page
in the text.
All in all, this is a remarkable group of documents. Only time and

hard work will tell us if they are authentic.
All the best,
Ray W. Boeche, Director

WHAT DOES OUR GOVERNMENT KNOW ABOUT UFOs?

A Research Update by William L. Moore
Over the past 6! years, through aggressive means, I and ultimately several close
associates have succeeded in establishing a cooperative relationship with a number
of well-placed contacts within the American intelligence community. As a result,
certain information has been made available which appears to pertain directly to our
government's continuing involvement with the UFO phenomenon. Among this is both hard
and filmed copies of documentation, several videotaped interviews and a number of useful
leads which have enabled us to independently uncover additional supporting information.
The information contained in the following pages corroborates information provided us

verbally during meetings with these contacts. Assurances have been given that ad-
ditional information can be made to us over the next several months .
This information is being shared with the UFO community, and through them, ultimately,
with the public at large, in anticipation that the resulting controversy will prove
useful in further verifying the authenticity of its contents and last in the hope that
it will assist in setting the stage for additional information to come.
-
Rec~nfly a number of rumors have circulated within the UFO community to the effect that
some sort of major release of information on UFOs is imminent and that I am intimately
involved with it. At this time it is only possible to confirm that a careful effort is
currently underway which, if successful, could bring about the release of additional
information through a major news media source in the near future. This project has
presently reached a delicate juncture and no further specifics can be provided at this time.
If for some reason our major effort should not prove successful, it remains nonetheless
our intention to make available a lesser but still highly significant amount of information.
which is already in hand and currently under study. Once again, no further specifics
can be provided at this time.
Meanwhile, any assistance which can be provided us in further researching this material
will be most appreciated.

A covert analytical etfort organized by Gen. Twining and

PROJECT AQUA R IUS
(TS/ORCON) (PROWORD: DANCE) Contains 16 volumes of documented information collec-

ted from the beginning of the United States Investigation of Unidentified Flying
Objects (UFOs) and Identified Alien Crafts (lAC). The Project was originally es-
tablished in 1953, by order of President Eisenhower, under control of NSC and MJ12. In
1966, the Project's name was changed from Project Gleem to Project Aquarius.
The Project was funded by CI A confidential funds (non-appropriated). The Project
was originally classified SECRET but was upgraded to its present classification in
Dec. 1969 after Project Blue Book closed. The purpose of Project Aquarius was to
collect all scientific, technological, medical, and intelligence information from
UFO/IAC sightings, and contacts with Alien life forms. This orderly file of collec-
ted information has been used to advanced the United States Space Program.
(TS/ORCON) The proceeding briefing is an historical account of the United States

Government's investigation of Aerial Phenomenas, Recovered Alien Aircrafts, and
Contacts with Extraterrestrial Life Forms.

EXECUTIVE BRIEFING
(TS/ORCON) In June 1947, a civilian pilot flying over the Cascade mountains
of Washington State observed nine flying discs (later referred to as UFOs). The
Commander, Air Force Technical Intelligence Center of the then Army Air Forces became
concerned and ordered an inquiry. This was the beginning of the United States
involvement with the UFO investigations. In 1947, an aircraft of extraterrestrial origin
crashed in the desert of New Mexico. The craft was recovered by the military,
four Alien (non- homo-sapiens) bodies were recovered in the wreckage. The Aliens
were found to be creatures not related to human beings (Atch 1). I n late 1949,
another Alien aircraft crashed in the United States and was recovered partially intact
by the military. One Alien of extrater restrial origin survived the crash. The
surviving Alien was male and called itself "EBE". The Alien was thoroughly in-
terrogated by military intelligence personnel at a base in New Mexico. The Alien's
language was translated by means of picture graphs. It was learned the Alien came
from a planet in the Zeta Reticuli star system, approximately 40 light years from
Earth. EBE lived until June 18,1952, when he died to an unexplained illness. During
the time period EBE was alive, he provided valuable information regarding space
technology, origins of the Universe, and exobiological matters. Further data is
contained in Atch 2.

TOP SECRET
(TS/ORCON) The recovery of Alien aircrafts led the United States on an ex-
tensive investigation program to determine whether these Aliens posed a direct
threat to our national security. In 1947, the newly created Air Force initiated
a program to investigate incidents involving UFOs. The program was operated under
three different code names: Grudge, Sign, and finally Blue Book. The original
mission of the Air Force program was to collect and analyze all reported sightings
or incidents involving UFOs and determine whether the information could be in-
terrupted as having any bearing on the security of the United States. Some in-
formation was evaluated with the idea of using the gained data to advance our
own space technology and future space programs. Ninety percent of the estimated 12,000
reports analyzed by the Air Force were considered hoaxes, explained aerial
phenomena's, or natural astronomical objects. The other 10 percent were considered
legitimate Alien sightings and/or incidents. However, not all UFO sightings or
incidents were reported under the Air Force program. In 1953, Project Gleem was
initiated by order of President Eisenhower, who believed the UFOs presented a threat
to the national security of the United States. Project Gleem, which became Project
Aquarius in 1966, was a parallel reporting system for UFO sightings and incidents.
Reports collected under Project Aquarius were considered actual sightings of Alien air-
crafts or contacts with Alien life forms. Most reports were made by reliable military
and Defense Department civilian ,Personnel.

TOP SECRET
(TS/ORCON) In 1958, the United States recovered a third Alien aircraft from
the desert of Utah. The aircraft was in excellent flying condition. The aircraft
was apparently abandoned by the Aliens for some unexpl ained reason, since no Alien
life forms were found in or around the aircraft. The aircraft was considered a
technological marvel by United States scientists. However, the operating instrumen-
tations of the aircraft were so complex that our scientists could not interrupt
their operation. The aircraft was stor ed in a top security area and analyzed
throughout the years by our best aerospace scientists. The United States gained a
large volume of technological data from the recovered Alien aircraft.
A detailed description and further information regarding the aircraft is explained
in Atch 3.

TOP SECRET
(TS/ORCON) Several independent scientific investigations, at the request of

the Air Force and CI A, were initiated during the era of Project Blue Book. MJ12
decided that officially, the Air Force should end their investigation of UFOs.
This decision was arrived at during the (????) meeting (Atch 4) in 1966. The reason
was twofold. First, the United States had established communication with the
Aliens. The United States felt relatively sure the Aliens' exploration of Earth
was non- aggressive and non- hostile. It was also established that the Aliens' presence
did not directly threaten the security of the Unit ed States. Secondly, the public
was beginning to believe that UFOs were real. The NSC felt this public .feeling
could lead to nationwide panic. The United States was involv ed in several sen-
sitive projects during this time period. I t was felt that public awareness of these
projects would have jeopardized the future space program of the United States.
Therefore, MJ12 decided that an independent scientific study of the UFO
phenomena would be needed to satisfy public curiosity. The study concluded that suf-
ficient data did not exist that would indicate UFOs
threatened the security of the United States. The final conclusion satisfied the
government and allowed the Air Force to officially step out of the UFO investigating
business.

TOP SECRET
(TS/ORCON) When the Air Force officially cl osed Project Blue 'Book in Dec. 1969,
Project Aquarius continued operation under control of NSC/ MJ12. The NSC felt in-
vestigations of UFO s ightings and incidents had to continue in secrecy without
any public knowledge. The reasoning behind the decision was this: I f the Air
Force cont inued its investigation of UFOs, eventually some uncleared and unbriefed
Air Force or Defense Department civil ian officials would obtain the facts behind P
roject Aquarius. Obviously (for operational security reasons) this could not
be allowed. I n order to continue the investigation of UFO sightings and i n cidents
in secrecy, investigators from CIA/DCD and MJ12 were assigned t o military and othe-r
governmental agencies with orders to investigate all legitimate UFO/IAC si ghtings
and incidents. These agents are presently operating at various l ocations throughout
the the United States and Canada. All reports a r e filtered either directly or
indirectly to MJ12. These agents are collecting reports of UFO/I AC sightings and
incidents occurring on or near sensitive governmental inst allations. NOTE: Aliens
have been extremely interested in our nuclear weapons and nuclear research. Many re-
ported military sightings and incidents occur over nuclear weapons bases. The
Alien's interest in our nuclear weapons can onl y be attributed t o the future threat
of a nuclear war on Earth. The Air Force have initiated measures to insure the
security of the nuclear weapons from Alien theft or destructi on. MJ 12 feels con-
fident the Aliens are on an exploration of our solar sys tem for peaceful purposes.
However, we must continue to observe and track the Aliens' movements until it is de=
termined that the Aliens' future plans contain no threat to our national security or
the civilization of Earth.

TOP SECRET
(TS/ORCON) Most governmental documents pertaining to UFO sightings, incidents and

governmental policies, including Project Blue Book, have been released to the
public under FOIA or under various other release programs. MJ12 felt the remaining
documents and information (not related to Project Aquarius) relating to tech-
nological facts regarding Aliens' medical matters, the fact that an Alien was captured
alive and survived for three years, can not be released to the public
for fear the information would be obtained by SHIS. There was other information
obtained from EBE that was deemed sensitive and not releasable to the public.
Notably, Project Aquarius Volume IX, which pertains to tracing the Aliens' first
visitation of Earth back some 5,000 years. EBE reported that 2,000 years ago his
ancestors planted a human creature on Earth to assist the inhabitants of Earth in
developing a civilization. This information was on~y vague and the exact identity or
background information on this homo-sapien was not obtained. Undoubtfully, if this
information was released to the public, it would cause a worldwide religious panic.
MJ3 has developed a plan that will allow release of Project Aquarius, Volumes I thru
III. The release program calls for a gradual release of information over a period of
time in order to condition the public for future disclosures. Atch 5 of this
briefing contains certain guidelines for future public releases.

(TS/ORCON) In the 1976 MJ3 report (Atch. 6), it was estimated the Aliens' tech-
nology was many thousands of years ahead of United States technology. Our scientists
speculate that until our technology develops to a level equal to the Aliens, we cannot
understand the large volume of scientific information the United States bas already
gained from the Aliens. This advancement of United States technology may take many
hundred of years.

SUB PROJECTS UNDER PROJECT AQUARIUS
(TS/ORCON) PROJECT BANDO: (PROWORD: RISK) Originally established in

1949. Its mission was to collect and evaluate medical information from the sur-
viving Alien creature and the recovered Alien bodies. This Project medically
examined EBE and provided United States medical researchers with certain answers
to the evolution theory. (OPR: CIA) (Terminated in 1974)
(TS/ORCON) PROJECT SIGMA: (PROWORD: MIDNI GHT) Originally established

as part of Project Gleem in 1954. Became a separate project in 1976. Its mission
was to establish communication with Aliens. This Project met with positive success,
when in 1959, the United States established primitive communications with the
Aliens. On April25, 1964, a USAF intelligence officer met two Aliens at a pre-
arranged location in the desert of New Mexico. The contact lasted for approximately
three hours. Based on the Alien •s language given to us by EBE, the Air Force
officer managed to exchange basic information with the two Aliens (Atch 7). This
project is continuing at an Air Force base in New Mexico. (OPR: MJ12/NSA).
(TS/ORCON) PROJECT SNOWBIRD: (PROWORDt CETUS) Originally established

in 1972. Its mission was to test fly a recovered alien aixcraft. This project is con-
tinuing in Nevada. (OPR: USAF /NSA/CIA/MJ12)
(TS/ORCON) PROJECT POUNCE: (PROWORD: DIXIE)

Originally established in 1968. Its mission was to evaluate all UFO/IAC information
pertaining to space technology. PROJECT POUNCE continues. (OPR: NASA/USAF)

VERDICT STILL OPEN ON MJ-12

*See Volume II, No. 2 o f the Journal to study the ~MJ- 12 documents in deatil.
The J. Allen Hynek Ce.n ter for UFO Studies (CUFOS) says the question of whether
al leged ~ecret government UFO documents are real is still open, despite a debunking
organization's recent charge that the papers are fraudulent . The documents assert
that in September 1947 President Truman directed that an Operation Majestic-Twelve
(''MJ-12"), under the leadership of his scfenti fie advisor, Dr. Vannevar Bush, be
establ fshed to study the remains of a crashed UFO and its four dead occupants .
The Committee for the Scientific Investi gation of Cl aims of the Paranonmal
{CSICOP) has "failed to raise a single issue Which cannot be explained by further
examination of the evidence. Charges of 'hoax,' 'forgery,' and 'deception' are
not only premature, but unscientific and emotional," says William L. Moore, who
has led the investigation of the three docun~nts in question:
t A September 24, 1947, executive memorandum from Truman to Secretary of
Defense James Forrestal;
• A November 18, 1952 , briefing paper for President-Elect Eisenhower re-
porting that the United States government possesses the remains of two
crashed UFOs; and
• A July 14, 1954, memorandum from Robert Cutler (Special Assistant to the
President) to General Nathan Twining regarding a 111eeting of the MJ-12 group .
The documents have been widely publicized in the U.s. and \'lorld media,
i ncluding the New York Times, Washington Post, London Observer, and ABC-TV's
popular "Night L1 ne" program.
A team of independent researchers,consisting of Moore, author of The Roswell

Incident (Grqsset &Dunlap, 1980), nuclear physicist Stanton T. Friedman of Fred-
ericton, New Brunswick, Canada, and TV producer/director Jaime Shandera of los
Angeles, state that there 1s overwhelming evidence-- in the fonn of interviews with
over 100 informants (31 of them first-hand witnesses), government documents, and
other sources--that a strange vehicle crashed near Roswell, New Mexico, in July
1947 and that information about the crash was immediately and effectively covered
up by the Air force .
On August 20, 1987, CSICOP released a press statement, drawing on the work
of aviation journalist and UFO debunker Philip J. Klas s, who, Moore points out,
has reviewed only a small fraction of the evidence available and has spoken with
exactly none of the many witnesses _to the 1947 UFO crash.
According to Klass, his research indi cates that the Cutler memo randum , whi ch
i s an onionskin carbon copy of an original. is "phony" for the foll owing reasons:
(1) The memo is unsigned; Cutler was out of the country at the time the
memo was written, and thus could not have written it .
·.·
(2) It is a "typed original," and not a carbon at all .
(3) It does not bear a· Top. Secret registration number .
(4) It carries the classification "Top Secret Restricted Security Infor-
mation," a tenn which, according to Klass, ''did not come into use
until more than a decade later."
{S) The typeface of the document is not the same as that on other Cutler
memoranda obtained by Klass.
(6) The onionskin paper does not bear the "characteristic Eagle watermark"
that Klass claims is found on "all government onionskin paper. "
According to Moore, "None of these arguments hold water upon careful exam-
ination." The facts are these:
** (1) Cutler was indeed out of the country at the time. As a memorandum
found in the Eisenhower Memorial Library atte-s ts, however, he left
instructions to his staff to keep material moving out of hi s in-basket.
This memo is only a notification of a slight change in plans for a
classified briefing on the "HJ-12 Special Studies Project.. and cer-
tainly would have been handled by Cutler's staff in response to any
request by Eisenhower. The memo is unsigned because Cutler was not
there to sfgn it. Unsigned memoranda--especi ally carbons--are common
among government documents of this era. That Cutler was no exception
is borne out by the discovery of one other unsigned memorandum from
him in the files of the Library of Congress. this one classifi:ed
"Top Secret Security Information" and bearing a 1953 date .
(2) Klass's statement that the memo is a "typed original" and not a carbon
is based solely on the fact ·that 1mpress i ons of the typewriter keys
can be seen on the reverse sfde of the document. Th1s 1s a normal
circumstance with onionskin carbons, and can be tested by anyone

with a manual typewriter. Klass fails to ~ention that the type on
the carbon is blue, not black, and 1s clearly consistent with the
sort of reproduction produced by a worn blue carbon .
(3) The memo does not bear a Top Secret registration number. Neither do
two other Top Secret Cutler memoranda from the same era (one of which
is also Cutler to Twining) that were located among Gen~ral Twining's
papers on ffle wfth the Library of Congress . One of these contains
language very similar to the memo in question (see attachments).
(4) The memo does carry a two-line classification caveat that reads "Top
Secret Re~tricted" on the first line, and "Security Information" on
the second line (see attachments). But Klass's allegation that this
caveat was "not in use unti 1 more than a decade later" is not based
on his research into the matter, but rather stems from a statement
made by the National Archives in a "Reference Report on 14.1-12" letter,
dated July 22. 1987. This letter says that the caveat "Top Secret
Restricted Information" did not come into use at the National Security
Council until the Nixon Administration, and goes on to state that in-
formatlon from the Eisenhower Library "confirms that this particular
marking was not used during the Eisenhower A<hinistration."
Independent research by Moore, Friedman and Shandera. however, shows
that the caveat "Top Secret Security Information" (on two 1i nes) was
conmonly used throughout the early 1950s. In addition, the caveat
"Top Secret Restricted Oata 11 had been fn use since 1946 for certain
types of information connected with atomic energy . (General Twining,
in a September 23, 1947, letter about UFOs, had clearly indicated a
nuclear connection.)
The issue, therefore, centers on the unusual use of the word "Restric-
ted .. following "Top Secret." Close reading of the National Archives'
statement on this matter shows that ft ignores two key points:
(a) it limits itself to caveats in use at the time ok!Y by
the Nation a 1 Security Council (MJ-12, as a "b lac proj-
ect, may have had some special caveat of its own);
(b) it addresses itself to the alleged non-use of the caveat 11
"Top Secret Restricted Infonnation 11 - - the word "Information,
however, is not a part of the caveat on the Cutler-Twining
n.:!mo.
Some confusion has occurred because "Restricted" . had been a separate
classification in itself until it was phased out in 1953. "Restricted"
(as opposed to "Top Secret Restricted"} documents fell in between
Unclassified and Confidential on the security scale and should have no
bearing on the matter of the Cutler-Twining memo at all. Unfortunately,
some individuals (including apparently, Klass) have confused the two
terms. thus fueling what should not be a controversy in the first place.
One other point to be considered here is the distinct possibility that
the word "Restricted" is meant to apply to the distribution of the
memo (i.e., not through the usual channels) rather than to the classi-
fication of the data contained therein.
As far as Moore, friedman, and Shandera are concerned, so far the evi-
dence presented on caveats remains insufficient to resolve the matter.
(5) Preliminary examination of the typeface on the Cutler-Twining

memo indicates 1t was typed with a manual Remington-Rand typewriter
of proper vintage. Such machines were commonly used by government
offices of the time. An examination of other declassified Cutler
memoranda from the same era shows a variety of type styles. In
such a situation, pronouncements about typefaces that are based on
comparison of the Cutler-T\'Iinfng memo to only a few of the many
thousands of documents generated by such offi ces are meaningless .
(6) The absence of an "Eagle" watermark on the onionskin paper is also
not unusual. Government offices at that time used a number of dif-
ferent types of onionskin, some of which bore no watermark at all .
Indeed, JoAnn Williamson of the National Archives staff in Washing-
ton, O.C., has stated that the Archives has "only a fraction of the
documents from the 1953-54 time period" and that she "know(s) very
well that they cannot make the statement that all government docu-
ments from that time bear the Eagle watermark ,-or that Mr. Cutler's
office prepared correspondence only on Prestige Onionskin when Mr.
Cutler ~as away."

Klass interprets remarks by the National Archives and both the Truman and
Eisenhower presidential libraries that they were unable to find any identifiable
record concerning either "Majestic 12" or "MJ-12 11 as meaning that no such files
exist. But Ed Reese of the Military Reference Branch of the National Archives
told Moore, ·"we only have records here that have been retired to us by various gov-
ernment ·agencies. No doubt there are a large number of files and records pertaining
to the so-called black projects and other highly classified programs that we have
never heard of because they are still in custody of whatever office or agency is
responsible for them. This could well be the case with your Majestic 12 group ...
Moreover, James layerzopf of the Eisenhower Library has indicated that
"we've found numerous indications of selected material having been pulled from
files before we assumed custody of them. 11
Another key document is the already-mentioned September 24 , 1947, executive
memorandum purportedly written by (and bearing the signature of) President Truman .
This short, two-paragraph document, stamped "Top Secret Eyes Only, .. is an author-
ization by Truman to then-Secretary of Defense James Forrestal to undertake "Oper-
ation Majestic 12," in concert with Or. Vannevar Bush an d "the Director of Central
Intelligence," who was then Admiral R.H. Hillenkoetter. Hillenkoetter subsequently
went on public record a number of times with statements that the U.S. government
should tell all it knows about UFOs.
Klass alleges that this document is a "forgery created by superimposing a
fake message on a photocopy of an authentic Truman letter. " Klass offers no evi-
dence to support this claim and in fact no such evidence exists at this point .
A print made from the original negative of the briefing document included thi s
short memorandum as "Attachment A." It shows no sign of any superimposition.
The document bears an authentic-appearing Truman signature and is in correct form
for such memoranda .
Klass character-1 zes the document as "counterfeit" because it does not fit
the correct format of "an authentic Truman 1etter11 Wh1ch, according to Klass,
would contain the name and address of the recipient in the lower left corner.
The document, however, is not a "letter" but an ex~cut1ve memorandum, the style
and format of which, according to one expert who claims to have handled virtually
all of the unclassified and declassified Executive Orders from that era, "looks
absolutely authentic." Indeed, nothing about this document suggests that tt is
not authentic--including the date of the memorandum and the typeface used. Moore,
Friedman and Shandera say they have strong additional evidence concerning the
authenticity of this memorandum and will publish it at a later date .
A third item the debunkers attempt to explain away is the seven-page "Top Secret
Eyes Only" Ei senhower briefing paper to which the Truman document was attached.
Klass clai~ that it describes a 1947 UFO crash in New Mexico as if Eisenhower
had never heard of it. That judgment cannot be reached on the basis of the data in
the document, especially if, as was the case, the primary custody of these mater-
ials resided with the Office of the President. Even if Eisenhower had been in-
formed of the crash, he would not have known all the details. Eisenhower had
already made a public announcement (with presidential approval) in June 1947 (prior
to the alleged crash/retrieval) that he would assume the presidency of Columbia
University around the end of the year. The named members of the Majesti c 12 group
were all high-ranking scientists, intelligence officers, and technology experts.
There is no reason at all why General Eisenhower, despite his many military
achievements, would have been considered for membership in such a group. To sug-
gest that the document is "phony" on this basis, instead of the basis of any
mistaken information in it (of which there is none), is to engage, at the very
least, in conclusion-jumping .
The CSICOP press release does not mention the detailed investigation conducted
well before this document was either received in December 1984 or released. (The
documents were sent anonymously to Shandera on 35mm film.) This effort by Fried-
man and Moore established, on the basis of 1ntetviews with nearly 100 different
persons coupled with extensive travel, documentation and other legwork, that an
unknown object with extraordinary characteristics had crashed outside Roswell,
New Mexico~ in July 1947; that an announcement to this effect was made by the
government; that a cover-up was instigated within 24 hours of that announcement;
that alien bodies were found; that material was sent to Wright Field in Ohio for
analysis; and that civilians were debriefed and warned to change their stories
to conform to official pronouncements .
Five individuals involved in the Roswell event, including the Air Force officer .
who led the original retrieval, have testified that strange symbols were attached ·
to portions of the crashed vehicle. These symbols are mentioned in the MJ-12
document . Klass does not mention that the 12 persons named as members of Majestic
Twelve all had high-level security clearances and close interlocking of past
act1v1ties.
In summary, none of the many questions raised thus far concerning the alleged
Eisenhower briefing papers and accompanying documents leads inevitably to the
conclusion that they are counterfeits . At least one former U.S. senator (and
presidential candidate), Barry Goldwater of Arizona, has stated on the record
that when he attempted to find out the truth about UFOs, he was "denied this
request" and that the matter "is still classified above Top Secret." The senator
said he had heard that a plan was undenotay to "release some, if not all, of this
materia 1 in the near future."
Mark Rodeghfer, scientific director of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies,
made the following statement about the MJ-12 docurrents: "The Center for UFO
Studies has not yet concluded that the documents from Moore and his colleagues
are either authentic papers or a clever hoax. We, in fact, are currently seeking
an independent, unbiased, investi9ation of the documents' authenticity. We do
clafm, however, that no evidence {of which we are aware) exists that conclusively
proves the documents to be false, and we encourage further investigation of these
extraordinary papers."

A man with a history of mental illness seized control
of a live newscast by pointing a realistic looking
toy pistol at TV consumer reporter David Horowitz and
demanding he read a statement about the CIA and space
creatures.
Gary Stallman, 34, of Tallahassee, Florida, was booked
/ [or investigation of false imprisonment and disturb-
ing the peace after Wednesday's brief takeover of KNBC-
TV, said police Lt. Jay Farrand. Horowitz and anchors
Kirstie Wilde and John Beard were unharmed.
Horowit z read the man's statement during a nine minute
period in which KNBC broadcast a message asking its
viewing audience to stand by, while the live newscast
was blacked out.
The document Horowitz read was a rambling statement
warning of a plot by the CIA and outer space "alien
forces" against the U.S. government, and "possibly
the human race itself."
Stallman thanked Horowitz for reading the statement
and then surrendered the phony weapon. Stallman used a type of toy that Horowitz
has warned parents not to buy for their children on his nationally syndicated
consumer show, "Fight Back With David Horowitz."(Lincoln, NE Journal, August 20, 1987)
GET THE MOP, MOM!- Human blood seeping from the floor in an elderly couple's
home has police puzzled . The blood was found in the bathroom, kitchen, living
room, bedroom, and halls of a six-room brick house belonging to William Winston
and his wife Minnie . Police Lt. Horace Walker said a lab test revealed that the
blood is human. Investigators have not found a source for the blood, but ·mdicated
it is not likely that they will tear up the floors to do so. Said Winston: "I'm
not bleeding. My wife's not bleeding. Nobody else was here." Homicide Detect-
ive Steve Cartwright said there is nothing to indicate any wrongdoing at the home.
" it's an extremely strange situation," Cartwright said. "I've been on the force
10 years and I've never seen anything like this." Mrs. Winston, 77, said that
when she stepped out of the bathtub shortly before midnight Tuesday, the floor
was covered with blood. The Winstons, who have been married 44 years, have lived
in the house for 22 years. (Lincoln, NE Journal, September 9, 1987)
'TELEPATHIC' CALL LEADS TO ARREST - A 42 year old Lincoln man was arrested
this week for possession of narcotics after he claimed he was instructed to call
police by telepathic corrununications from his federal probation officer, Lt. Lyle
Roberts said. Police first contacted the man at a street corner after receiving
a report of a suspicious person there. The man told a police officer he had
been instructed to call the police by the telepathic messages. The officer
suggested that both of them return to the man's home to discuss the situation.
At one point, the man suggested the police officer check the apartment for the
telepathic probation officer. (Omaha, NE World-Herald March 19, l987)

OJ the most comprehensive and thorough collection
0 of material on the UFO conspiracy world-
wide available. While some of the flavor
0 of the current European ideas on UFO origins:
A comes through (the psycho-social viewpoint)
(J) the book is excellently balanced in its views ,
and as is usual with the author's work , very ·
OJ carefully researched (with the exception of
0 a few minor errors). My own personal opinion
0 of Jenny Randles and her work places her high
on the list of truly top-notch researchers.
A I think that The UFO Conspiracy belongs in
en the library of every serious researcher,
OJ along with copies of her other fine works.
If your local book shop doesn't have it, they
0 should . An excellent book.
0 UFOs 1947-1987 The 40-Year Search for an Ex-
="
en planation (Fortean Tomes , London, UK, $25.00)
is yet another in this year's crop of good,
OJ solid research material on UFOs. Edited by
0 Hilary Evans, and John Spencer for the British
UFO Research Association, the book consists
0 of 40 pieces on varying aspects of the UFO
A phenomenon. For an excellent ove~view of
en
the current state of UFOlogy, or as an introductory book for someone new to the
field, ,this book would be an excellent choice. elf this volume is any indication,
I think we can look forward to many good things f~om Fortean Tomes. The best
of luck to all their efforts. ·
Modern Mysteries of Britain (Grafton Books, London UK,~l4.95) by Janet and

Colin Bard is yet another must-have book, in my opinion. 1 have always en-
joyed the Bord's work, and always eagerly await their next volume. Modern
Mysteries contains no real surprises as far as any startling new cases, and,
as most of us, 1 imagine, I would always like to see more photos, butregardless
of these flaws, I certainly enjoyed reading the book, and will without doubt
enjoy readiug it again in the future. Again, in my opinion, a book well worth
having.

STRANGE DEATHS, & ETC.

"HERE I AM!" - A man standing in the stern of his new boat
near Bossier City, Louisiana rais~d his hands, looked sky-
ward and declared, ''Here I am,'' just before a lightning
bolt struck him dead, according to authorities.
Graves Thomas, a 40-year-old Shreveport attorney, died of
electrocution on Memorial Day, forensic pathologist Dr.
George McCormick said.
There was no thunder, lightning, or sign of lightning before
the killer bolt struck, said Dan Russell Jr., one of four
friends in the boat with Thomas on Lake Bisteneau east of
Bossier City.
Thomas' last words were reported by one of the four, said
Bossier Parish Sheriff's Deputy Scott Hodges, but he refused
to say which one . Russell and three women, including one who
had been in the water preparing to ski, rushed Thomas to shore.
Attorneys who worked with or against Thomas, whose family in-
cludes several judges and lawyers, described him as a firebrand
and amaverick but a strong advocate for his often notorious clients -
including police killers, reputed crime figures, accused white-collar criminals,
and drug smugglers. (Lincoln, NE Journal, May 27, 1987)
COUPLE DIE WITHIN SIX HOUR PERIOD - Roy and Alvina Doudney, a Lincoln Ne-
braska couple who had been married almost 56 years, died within six hours of each
other from natural causes. They had been living at Tabitha Nursing Home in Lincoln.
He was 83. She was 82. Doudney died shortly after 6:00 am. By lunchtime, his
wife followed him in death. (Lincoln, NE Journal, July 16, 1987)
WILDLIFE DEATHS PUZZLE AUTHORITIES - An estimated 3 million fish and about

1,500 water birds have died in the past two months at the Stillwater Wild-
life refuge, 60 miles east of Reno, Nevada. Ron Anglin, manager of the refuge,
said the deaths were initially attributed to a concentration of salts. Last
week, however, it became clear the problems were more serious. Pelicans, ducks ,
coots, ravens, gulls, egrets, and herons began dropping and the dead fish lined
the banks. Anglin said the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is concerned about
30 eagies that feed at the marsh. None has been affected so far. (Lincoln, NE
Journal, February 15, 1987)
2,000 DOLPHINS DIE OFF BRAZIL - Nearly 2,000 dolphins, mainly females and
babies, have died off the northeastern Brazilian coast during the month of April.
"We have no idea what has caused the mass deaths," Biologist Eliana Simas of Rio
de Janeiro told Associated Press. (Lincoln, NE Journal, April 22, 1987)
MORE DEAD DOLPHINS - To the bafflement of marine mammal experts across the
country, an unprecedented number of dead or near-dead bottlenose dolphins have
washed up on the Atlantic coastline from New Jersey to Virginia during the past
five weeks. "I have been working w~th bottlenose dolphins for 18 years and have
never seen them coming ashore in this shape, and smelling the way they do," Robert
Schoelkop£ said Thursday from the Marine Mammal Stranding Center in Brigantine,
New Jersey. 1n the thirty day period from July 7 to August 7, he has responded
to a record of 47 Strandings along the New Jersey Coast. (Lincoln, NE Journal
August 8, 1987)
MYSTERY DEATHS OF 240 HOGS - The deaths of 240 hogs at a New Douglas, Ill-
inois farm where hundreds of others appear healthy have baffled swine experts and
veterinarians, who have determined only that the animals weren't poisoned. An
employee of hog farmer Elmer Klenke, 61, found the dead animals on January 16.
They were in a containment building that was used to house 600 swine. Klenke
said the hogs, which were kept in 20 pens holding 30 hogs each, died in groups
of 30 in eight pens scattered throughout the building. ''That they aren't all
dead-that's the thing that's got us wondering," Kl~nke said. "There's about
600 head in there, and the rest of them were OK . They weren't even affected."
The wide distribution of the carcasses ruled out Klenke 's first theory that
failure of the building's ventilation system may have accounted for poisoning
of the hogs from manure pit gases normally drawn out by fans . Gilbert R. Hollis
a University of Illinois professor and swine expert, said he also thought vent -
ilation might have been the cause. But the fact that not al l of the hogs died
stumped him also. (Lincoln, NE Journal, January 19, 1984)
FIFT H DEFENSE SCIENTIST DIES - Police in early April confirmed that Peter
Peapell, 46, involved in a secret defense project, died of carbon monoxide poison-
ing. He was the fifth scientist to have died under unusual circumstances in the
past eight months. Authorities have labeled the deaths as suicides . The govern-
ment has rejected opposition demands for an investigation, saying t here was "no
evidence of any link (in the deaths) at this stage. " But England's Home Sec-
retary Douglas Hurd has ordered police involved in the cases to contact each
other. Even if all the cases were suicides, said John Cartwright, the defense
spokesman for the centrist Liberal-Social Democratic party alliance, "it must
raise some question about the pressures under which scientists are working in
the defense field." Police said Peapell was found february 22 under bis car in
his garage. The engine was running and the garage door was shut, according to
the report. His wife told reporters he was happy and had no reason to commit
suicide. Cartwright said he believed there vere "grounds for concern" and urged
police to reinvestigate.
In late March, David Sands, 37, a computer expert at a subsidiary of the Br~tish
defense contractor Marconi, Ltd., was killed when he drove his car, loaded with
gasoline cans, into an abandoned cafe in Surrey. Sands had just completed three
year's work on a secret air defense radar system for the Royal Air Force at
Easams, a subsidiary of Marconi and part of Britain's giant General Electric
Company.
Vimal Dajibhai, 24, a programmer with Marconi Underwater Systems who reportedly
was working on Britain's self-guided Stingray missile, was found dead last August
beneath a suspension bridge spanning the River Avon in Bristol. Relatives and
friends testified that be had no reason to commit suicide.
Ashad Sharif, 26, a computer expert with Marconi Defense Systems, died near Bristol
in October of 1986 . A police report said he apparently tied one end of a rope
to a tree, the other around his neck, got into his car and drove off, strangling
himself. An inquest returned a verdict of suicide.
Richard Pugh, a computer design expert, was found dead in his home in Essex in
January. The circumstances of his death have never been explained. A sixth
scientist, Avtar Singh-Gida, 26, disappeared in January of 1986 in northern
England while conducting experiments on underwater acoustics. Police are still
investigating . (Lincoln, NE Journal, April 6, 1987)

PYTHON IN THE SEWER LINE - Mountain View , California police lassoed a .

13-foot python found by a public works employee in a sewer line. The snake
slithered into view Friday morning as Jose Aguilar, 34 , a waste water worker,
was flushing out the sewer at a downtown intersection, (Lincoln, NE Journal
August 8, 1987)
PIRANHA CAUGHT IN NEBRASKA LAKE - An angler ·who landed a fish that re-
sembled a bluegill with teeth may make the record books - he hooked a piranha.
Bruce Beins, owner of North Shore Marina at Harlan County Lake, said the fish
had "teeth like a cow." The unidentified fisherman from LaVista, Nebraska brought
the fish to the marina because -he didn't know what he'd caught, Beins said.
"He said when they landed it, it was clicking its teeth at them," Beins said.
The mystery was solved when Monty Madsen, a Nebraska Game and Parks Commission
fisheries biologist, identified the fish as a non-ferocious variety of piranha.
"It wasn't the type of piranha you think about .• . not the kind in the Tarzan
movies," Beins said . The piranha, a tropical fish, weighed It pounds and was
12 inches long. It was caught using nightcrawlers as bait, from rocks off the
face of the dam. (Lincoln, NE Star, September 10, 1987)
NOT THE AVERAGE FISH STORY - When Tim DeMatteis told his .father about his
big catch last week during a trout fishing trip in Ontario, Canada, it was enough
to make the average fish story seem credible. DeMatteis said he snagged a moss-
covered knapsack that his father, Butch, lost two year~ ago in a boating accident
i n the same remote area of the Flint River. The knapsack contained his father's
shoes, a couple of candy bars and a wallet containing $225 and credit cards be-
longing to a friend of Butch. "When he told me what he had found, I couldn't
believe it," Butch DeMatteis, of Columbus, Ohio said. Tim's father and Ernie
Johnson were fishing in the summer of 1985 when their boat capsized before land-
ing on some rocks just short of a 30-foot waterfall. The both felt lucky to es-
cape with their- lives and didn't worry about the money and other gear they lost.
Tim, 28, received $100 from Johnson for recovering the wallet. Johnson said he
has special plans for the money. "I'm going to have that stuff bronzed and mount-
ed on some kind of plaque," he said. (Lincoln , NE Journal, August 21, 1987)
AUSSIES CAPTURE ALBINO CROCODILE - Wildlife rangers have captured a cream-

colored crocodile, the first-known albino crocodile found in the wild, the
Australian Associated Presss reported from Darwin. (Lincoln, NE Star, Sept-
ember 19, 1987) --
BLUEFISH TRY TO EAT SWIMMERS - Hungry migrating bluefish with razor-

sharp teeth are apparently mistaking swimmers for their 'favorite prey and have
bitten at least five people, although none seriously, authorities said. The
victims were attacked when they swam into a feeding frenzy. (Lincoln,. NE Star,

Dear Sirs;
1 /.(}< 1~
There currently are rumors over the grapevine and
tn print that suggest men with oriental featur~s wearing dark clothes go
around terrorizing people who have had close-up views of UFO's.
n is also rumored these creatures have impersonated armed forces officers
and FBI investigators. They are supposed to ride around in black or dark
automobiles that either have old licence tags or none at all. Several are
reported to have attemped to run down witnesses of UFO sigbtings, made
disturbhig~most macabre phone calls, sllenced several investigators who
were supposed to have learned some dark secret about extraterrestial craft
or mission plans and opened mail, tapped telephones and even taken pictures
of several homes where UFO_witnesses lived. /}- -.. )
Can you give me any information on such rumors? Or' can you
refer me to a source whose facilities can answer my questions?
this information will help settle some disturbing questions

the readers or my articles. Personally I am not sure at all whether I can
fully accept these rumours as facts. I need more informatlcm. __ . __.. -
Any information you supply can ease the worries or people

who feel that the objects unknown they see in the sky may portend the visit
of a mysterious visitor. -

Lincoln, NE crash, with this brief
announcement found on page 13 of
the Daily State Journal at
Lincoln, June 8th, 1884:
"A story is told in our
dispatches this morning of the
fall of a most wonderful visitor,
apparently from some other planet,
on the prairie near Benkelman, in
Dundy county, this state. It
appears incredible, but we have no
hesitancy in vouching for the
intelligence of the writer, who is
a man that generally knows what he
is talking about. The details are
given with a fullness and
particularity that almost command
belief. Unless the alleged facts
are greatly magnified or
distorted, this unusual object of
wonder must be an air vessel
belonging originally to some other
planet which sailed too far from
its orb and after wandering in
space has at last been caught by
the attraction of the earth and
drawn to it. Further
investigations will be hastily
pursued and awaited with the
liveliest interest."
We then turn to page #5 of the
same paper and date, and find the

computer equipment knows that this

have.

it is to mail the disks across the

Sky Watch Mercury will be visible in the

planet travels quickly around the
Sun. It takes only 88 days to
complete one orbit. Mercury is
actually a very easy object to
locate, but many people never
realize it. The reason is, Mercury
never gets very far from the Sun
so it can only be seen after
sunset or before sunrise. On June
