UFOs were observed over New York, New Jersey, Maryland, West
Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Ohio, Kentucky, Utah, California,
Oregon, Washington, Canada, Chili, and the UK. Cylinder shaped
UFOs are spotted in West Virginia, Florida, Ohio, and diving
into the Straights of Magellan in Southern Chile indicating a
possible new wave of sightings. Sam Sherman buys the oldest
UFO photo taken in 1870.

SPACE SHUTTLE DOCKS WITH HUBBLE TELESCOPE

Jeff Challender writes, I've been trying to keep on top of the
STS 109 Shuttle mission. The astronauts attached a second
powerful 25-foot solar wing to the Hubble Space Telescope on
March 5, 2002, with ease. It was the second of five excursions
planned this week by space shuttle Columbia's telescope-repair
team. Astronaut James Newman said "Beautiful day for a space
walk," as he left the shuttle. "Incredible," said Michael
Massimino, a first-time space walker. Jeff says I found a real
anomaly event that I'll send later. It needs to have a
transcript of the audio part to go with the video, and that will
take time. However, I have one for you now. It's actually a
reflection of the flat end of Hubble Space Telescope in the
payload bay camera lens.

Some NASA affiliated debunkers have been claiming that the "UFO
nuts" (ME??) would surely make hay out of it, so I'm defusing
that one right now. Anyone who sends you a photo as a UFO is
hoaxing you, and you should be forewarned. The photo could make
a pretty convincing "flying saucer" to the untrained eye. I'll
try to get you an article on the real story by tomorrow night.
It could make a nice current events piece on STS-109. All is
well with Columbia, and the HST servicing mission. Things have
been right on schedule. One thing I noticed during liftoff and
ascent though, was that in the moments just before SRB
separation, it appeared that there was some "O" Ring leakage in
the port side SRB rocket. This same sort of flame leakage caused
the Challenger disaster. Thanks to Jeff

NEW JERSEY A LARGE BLUE SPHERE OBJECT

BRIDGEWATER -- A large blue object sighted in NJ sky by two
witnesses on February 14, 2002. Both witnesses are adults and
one witness Gordon Dillard is a college student and the other
works in law enforcement. An NJ State Employee sent a report to
NUFORC, while the other contacted MUFON. I personally talked to
the second witness a college student from North Carolina who was
driving through New Jersey early in the morning. They report
seeing a glowing blue sphere over 40.34N 74.37 W in Somerset
County. The witnesses were separated and saw the object from
different locations in a fairly clear sky, around 1:00 AM.
Gordon reports seeing a solid source of light from rear that was
circular. The light was twenty feet in diameter and circular
moving from west to east. It appeared to descend below the trees
as observed from the highway. It was larger than fireworks, and
seemed to be traveling too fast to stop. Gordon said, It looked
like it landed in the wetlands. east tonortheast of Exit 30, on
Route 287. He went to the police station (24) to notify them of
the incident, thinking it might have crashed. Gordon felt it
moved too fast for a normal aircraft. Didn't seem to have the
mass of a normal aircraft. The two individuals in two different
localities reported seeing a large blue object about the size of
a three-story building going east across the sky descending.
Each witness separately provided a sketch of the object. Both
sketches match almost identically in every detail even though
the witnesses presumably do not know each other and have never
met. The duration of sighting by the student was for less than a
minute and he thought the object may have crashed in a watery
area east of Route 287. ((NUFORC Note: We have requested copies
of the illustrations, which we will attempt to post at
www.ufocenter.com.)) Thanks to Gordon Dillard, MUFON, and
NUFORC.

NEW YORK INVESTIGATION

MIDDLETOWN -- Dr. Bruce Cornet is investigating the January 15,
and makes the following comments to the witness. "Thanks to the
video you sent me and excellent description of the event using
a model of the craft. What I didn't realize is that the craft
turned right rather than left, which makes sense now that you
provided landmarks and visual aids. I suspect the triangle
dropped down into the narrow field behind the house at 260
Midland Lake Rd. I also think, based on your detailed
description, that the triangle crossed the highway just north
of the Nevele Grande billboard and over the pair of Crosses to
the east of that billboard. I thank you for the photographs
showing many of the landmarks. I didn't realize that the
billboard also said that Nevele Grande is in Ellenville, NY.
This is important, because as you may recall it was Ellen
Crystall who started all of the interest in the Pine Bush
Phenomenon and it is the next exit on Rt.17 for Rt. 302 that
takes you to Pine Bush. Based on your model, the craft you saw
is remarkably like the one described by police officers in
Illinois during the sightings there in 2000. In the video you
sent me you note that Freeze Road. intersects Midland Lake
Road. at the base of the hill containing the crosses and
billboard. I find that name ironic considering that we have
been trying to "freeze" the event you witnessed in description,
model, photographs, and satellite images, similar to what
Michael Brockhoff did for the Discovery Channel documentary,
UFO over Illinois. Thanks to Bruce Cornet, Ph.D., Geologist,
Paleobotanist, Palynologist bcornet@monmouth.com. see
http://www.monmouth.com/~bcornet/

Editor's Note: It seemed unlikely that a craft the size of a
737 as described by the witness could land so close to Route
17, however, aerial photos of the area show a large concrete
landing pad.

MARYLAND ROCKET OR MISSILE?

BALTIMORE -- Aviation officials are investigating an incident
in which something -- possibly a model rocket -- flew near a
Southwest Airlines jet as it approached Baltimore, Maryland, on
March Sunday night. The pilot of Southwest Flight 454 reported
seeing what he thought was a model rocket pass on the left side
of the aircraft as the plane was about 12 miles southeast of
Baltimore-Washington International Airport at 7:10 p.m. EST,
Federal Aviation Administration and Southwest Airlines
officials said. The aircraft was about 3,000 feet high at the
time, the FAA said. It landed without problem. The incident
also has been reported to the FBI, said FAA spokeswoman Arlene
Salac. Federal regulations prohibit people from operating model
rockets within five miles of any airport and in a manner "that
creates a collision hazard with other aircraft." Rockets are
also prohibited between sunset and sunrise. - Thanks to CNN, M.

WEST VIRGINIA FLYING INVERTED CYLINDER

MILTON -- The witness and his girlfriend saw an object hanging
in the sky over Fife or Puyallup on February 11, 2002. His
girlfriend pointed it out. The witness stated, "I tried to
reason that it might be a balloon or fire works. At 11:50 PM,
my brain raced with reasonable answers but none fit the M.O. I
quickly ran and grabbed my camera and took four or five shots.
On the last one I braced myself against a pole to hold steady.
Maybe that one will turn out. The sky was black, except for the
orange glow of this object bouncing and moving erratically
around the sky. It would move slow and steady in one direction,
then suddenly move quickly about the night sky. It seemed to
have no apparent direction in mind. As it moved south we jumped
into the truck to follow and parked on 10th Avenue in Milton
and watched it moving to the south and east. The orange glow
coming from below the object was bright, but would at times
glow brighter then fade some. It seemed to get eight to ten
miles away, then it started moving back toward and to the west
of where we were. At it's closest point to us the orange glow
faltered then grew stronger. As it grew stronger it
instantaneously released a shower of sparks, almost resembling
a fire work being shot from the sky toward the ground. This
happened twice very quickly. Both pulses of fire could be seen
hailing down toward the earth at the same time. There also was
a slight audible release when these showers erupted from the
object. It sounded like a very soft pop, kind of like popping a
finger out of the corner of one's mouth very quietly. We drove
toward the Fife Valley for a better look and parked when the
object started to move about very rapidly. It made a quick move
to the west, so fast that it was almost as if you blinked and
it had moved a quarter mile already. We drove less then two
city blocks to the valley for a better look, but it disappeared
into the southern sky in an instant. The object looked like an
inverted cylinder with an orange glow coming from the bottom of
the it. Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC www.ufocenter.com

GEORGIA BRIGHT LIGHT DISK

CONYERS -- As the witness walked through his kitchen, a bright
light caught my attention outside on February 17, 2002. There
in the sky above the tree lines was an object that appeared to
move left to right and visa-versa very fast at 10:30 PM. The
object had orange, green and blue lights that seemed to rotate
as if the object was spinning. I called my son and we watched
as this object went from left to right as it ascended upwards
into the sky. I ran into another room to get my digital camera
so that I could get a photo, but my security alarm sounded and
so I was distracted by trying to turn it off. The security
company called to verify my password. By the time everything
had calmed back down, I ran outside with my camera, but could
not focus in on the object. By this time it was high up so I
tried focusing with the camera but it just disappeared. Make no
mistake, this was no plane, no helicopterThere is no machine
that I know of that could fly as spastic as this thingThe weird
thing is that when my alarm sounded it was not even setI found
it very strange that it sounded at the very moment I picked up
my camera!

LAVONIA -- Two witnesses were on I-85 heading towards Atlanta
on February 17, 2002, when they saw what at first appeared to
be a plane crashing at 4:00 PM. The object was red with a long
tail coming from it. The witness reports "My Mom and I decided
that it must be a meteor, however in a few minutes, the tail
disappeared and the object began climbing up towards another
object in the sky that we had not at first noticed." The two
objects were beside one another for a few seconds, then one
went straight up into the sky, and the second one began to
descend. The one that was climbing up looked kind of like a
squid because of the twin trails of smoke coming from behind
it. We lost the descending one behind trees in the distance,
and the ascending one became blocked from our view by the sun.
There were a lot of other cars on the interstate during this
event. Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC www.ufocenter.com

FLORIDA UFO SIGHTINGS CONTINUE

PANAMA CITY -- The witness while fishing ten miles out in the
in the Gulf of Mexico, on February 16, 2002, reports seeing
jets investigating an object over Gulf. Five unusually slow
flying fighter jets heading southeast between us and the coast
at 3:00 PM. As they flew further down the coast, we noticed a
strange white stationary object above and in front of fighters.
The jets looked to be investigating the object.

HAVANA -- The witness reports he was approaching US-27 from the
east on a Gadsden County dirt road on February 14, 2002, when
he saw a streak of very bright white light in the west at 6:35
AM. It was traveling from the vicinity of Tallahassee in a
northern direction at a very high rate of speed. It was dawn
and there were no stars visible at that time of the morning.
The streak lasted for a second or two. It had a very bright
point followed by a trail of light. It streaked across the sky,
then made a sudden 90 degree turn to the left. At first, I
thought it was a meteor, but then realized that a meteor can't
turn suddenly. Editor's Note: These UFOs are frequently video
taped from the space shuttle.

POMPANO BEACH -- On Sunday, February 24, 2002, on a clear blue
sunny sky the witness was sitting in his backyard at around
4:20 PM when a flock of what seemed to be baby crows flew over
and landed on the telephone wires above his head. He looked up
and saw a cigar shaped object just to the right of where he
were watching the birds. This object was an orange cylinder or
cigar-shaped with a yellow tip. The witnesses watched this
object fly from east to west and almost directly overhead when
they were distracted for a couple seconds and it completely
disappeared from the sky. This couldn't have flown off in any
other direction. We walked around the whole duplex and could
see for miles, but nothing was in sight not even a plane. The
birds had flown off in fright when the back door suddenly swung
open and the object was still visible. I have never had birds
in my backyard in such numbers either. The telephone lines were
covered withbaby crows. Perhaps they chose not tofly with a
cylinder in the sky. Thanks to webmaster@ufoinfo.com.

OHIO RED UFO PLUNGES INTO LAKE ERIE

CLEVELAND -- "It was first thought to be a downed helicopter,
then a meteor shower, but whichever it was caused the U.S.
Coast Guard to launch a rescue boat Wednesday, February 13,
2002, and search Lake Erie off the mouth of the Black River." "
Sightings of red lights or flashes thought to be two miles (3
kilometers offshore) from the Elyria Water Work started being
reported on Lorain (Ohio) police radio transmissions around 8
p.m." "'We're out there doing search patterns,' said a
dispatcher for the Lorain Coast Guard station, but nothing was
reported being found late last night." " Lorain police
dispatchers said they had nothing to report." " Lights from
helicopters or possibly commercial planes were later seen in
the air above where the Coast Guard boat combed the waters." "
Also traveling the airways were reports of unusual lights being
seen from Bay Village to Toledo, and Coast Guard radio traffic
indicated a helicopter had been dispatched to take a look along
the (lake) shore." (See The Morning Journal of Lorain, Ohio for
February 14, 2002, "Unidentified red lights seen in night sky."
Copyright 2002 by The Morning Journal, all rights reserved.)
Eyewitness T.S. reported, "I did not see it, but I may have
'heard' it. Over the late evening, there were several
concussion-like sounds like sonic booms. They shook and rattled
the windows of my cottage in Bay Village near the shorefront of
Lake Erie." Thanks to T.S. for the Morning Journal news article
and his report.) (Joseph Trainor's Comments: This isn't the
first time we've had an unidentified submerged object (USO) on
the bottom of Lake Erie. A similar case occurred in Ashtabula,
Ohio a year ago.) Thanks to UFO ROUNDUP, Vol. 7, #9, February
26, 2002, Editor: Joseph Trainor

KENTUCKY AGILE FLASHING CRAFT

DRY RIDGE -- The witness says, "We were driving on route 25
south toward Cincinnati and saw what appeared to be very small
jet airplanes with flashing lights that were much faster and
somehow different from regular aircraft on February 17, 2002."
These "jets" were flying faster than other planes. We saw one
next to a regular airplane and it seemed very small, fast and
agile. At 10:00 PM, we saw three going from north to south
within approximately 20 seconds of each other and then
throughout the hour we saw periodic "jets" in the area. The
craft did make a very quiet jet like sound. These were much
faster and more agile than normal planes. The "jet" had one red
light that stayed on consistently and then a flashing red light
and two white strobing lights. The speed, agility and strobing
lights are what differ from regular planes. Thanks to Peter
Davenport NUFORC www.ufocenter.com

UTAH SPHERE

SALT LAKE CITY -- Dave Rosenfeld reports a small object showed
up while out doing our Flyby skywatch today at around 2:13 PM
for four minutes. It showed up again at 2:19 to 2:33 PM, flying
east really slowly till it went over the mountain towards
Emigration Canyon. I was using my 500 mm lens at f~ 5.6, and
took ten to twelve pictures? There was a couple photos with the
object by the moon. It was a shiny silvery object with an
estimated size of 20 feet in diameter. It did not make
fantastic moves or anything, just a slow hover-like movement. I
was quite surprised since I didn't expect anything to show up,
but I'm glad I watched. You can read more about it at
http://www.aliendave.com/UUFOH_UFOflyoverSLC.html. Thanks to
Dave Rosenfeld, The Utah UFO Hunters.

OREGON DISK CRAFT FORMS TRIANGLE

PORTLAND -- The witness reports three craft suddenly popped
into view at 7:00 PM, forming a triangle on February 8, 2002.
The craft would fluctuate in position and sometimes freeze in
position. The right corner craft would leave the formation and
slowly follow the air traffic lane, which goes right through
there, then suddenly reappear near the triangle again. The
witness noticed a red glow on the ground and sometimes
electricity could be seen around the red light on the ground.
Then a small red light would come out of it and seem to float
to a craft alongside the triangle hovering amongst the tree top
level. The receiving craft and one of the triangle craft would
brighten and twinkle when this would happen. Then the right
corner craft would slowly leave and follow the air path again
... and reappear a few minutes later. This was a movement
pattern repeated several times. We were building up feelings of
hatred, telling them to go home, and when we would project this
at them, and twice I saw them *duck* or swoop, as if avoiding a
projectile. I have noticed single craft in that area for a
couple of years now, but this was the first show with multiple
craft.

KLAMATH FALLS -- The witness reports seeing a wing shaped UFO
with several lights or reflections on February 17, 2002. The
craft soared like a bird, but not in a straight path at 12:40
AM. He saw the object for about one minute but it made no
sound. The UFO moved very fast and the shape of the wing seemed
to change as if there were pivot points. There was no fuselage
only wings. The witness stated, "I have no idea what it could
be, but these objects were definitely mechanical.

OREGON BORDER -- An array of lights was reported to the UFO
Research team near the Nevada, California border on February
12, 2002. Jean Eric Byler reports 16 miles south of Ft. Bidwell
there were a few sightings over Fee Reservoir. Bright orange
lights were seen by a man soaking in his hot tub around 7:45
PM. His attention was drawn to a bright orange light suddenly
appearing in the northeast that was visible for about two
seconds. It was just on and off. This was followed in turn by
two lights, one light, three lights, one light, two lights,
etc. Perhaps a total of about a dozen lights. They were miles
apart and not associated with any populated area or roads. He
called to his wife and she also saw three lights appear at once
and she felt they were not naturally occurring phenomena. The
last light seen that night occurred when the man was reporting
his sightings to me via telephone, at 8:00 PM. The couple also
called a friend that lived in the town to the north and asked
them to look outside. The man went outside and saw the object
at 8:00 PM. A sighting, several years ago, was filmed with a
video camera for two seconds before the couple tried to zoom in
on the objects. The camera lost focus, but the existing footage
was sent to Jeff Sainio to be analyzed. Jeff estimated the
lights to be from a UFO approximately 750 feet in diameter.

The first and possibly only photo documentation of UFOs and
abductions occurring together was in this area. Many of these
events have had multiple witnesses, some with photo
documentation. I believe this sighting to be another in a long
series of sightings to occur here. Thanks to NUFORC and Jean
Bilodeaux in Northern California.

WASHINGTON SAUCER SHAPED OBJECT WITH A RING AROUND IT

OLYMPIA -- The witness reports seeing a large saucer shaped
object on February 9, 2002, which appeared to have a ring
around it. It's color changed somewhat from the color of the
moon to a soft amber at 9:15 PM. It hovered over a distant hill
in the state forest, which is unpopulated and a wilderness. We
watched the object move to different positions within the same
area without a sound. At one point we thought the object was
coming towards us, but it reverted back to its' position over
the hill. We watched the object for twenty minutes then it
appeared to land behind the hill out of our sight, leaving only
a yellow to amber glow highlighting the hill. Thanks to Peter
Davenport NUFORC

CANADA FLYING TRIANGLE

KING CITY, ONTARIO -- I saw a large triangular outline of red
and white lights that seemed to hover and then move very slowly
pass my car on February 13, 2002. I was driving westbound on
the King sideroad and as I approached the traffic lights at
Jane St. at 8:00 PM, I saw a large, stationary, triangular
object. I could not actually see a solid object but rather the
impression of an object was created due to a triangular pattern
of lights. The lights were white, red and a third color (blue
or green). The lights seemed to be over a major Highway 400 so
I thought it was a traffic plane. When I stopped at the traffic
lights and the object didn't move I thought it might be a
helicopter. It was the large outline (roughly hand size) and
the triangular shape that made me wonder if it was in fact
something else. As I left the traffic lights and continued to
the overpass I was able to watch the object pass from my front
to my driver's side window. I was driving veryslowly and the
object may have been moving very slowly in the opposite
direction. I lost sight of the object as I descended the other
side of the overpass. All of my window's were closed but my
radio was not on. I do not remember hearing any noises.

BURLINGTON -- The witness was out smoking on the porch at 9:00
PM, on February 13, 2002, and noticed an X shape object high in
the sky. At first, it was hardly visible until it suddenly
burst into flames. It quickly flew down far in the distance,
with a white flash, and no sound was heard. Thanks to Peter
Davenport NUFORC www.ufocenter.com

PRINCE GEORGE -- Brian Vike received a long distance call from
Vanderhoof, British Columbia just a while ago and these two
witnesses watched three bright lights just a few kilometers
south of Prince George, British Columbia. Plus there were
others who already had pulled over to the side of the road to
view these lights on February, 15, 2002 at around 11:30 PM.
Thanks to Brian Vike yogibear@bulkley.net

Editor's Note: Reports of unidentified flying objects increased
a staggering 42 per cent last year in Canada.

CHILI CYLINDER DIVES INTO THE SEA

PUNTA ARENAS -- Rodrigo Fuenzalida, president of AION group the
most important research UFO group of Chile) and Director of
Chilean MUFON writes, "On February 17, 2002, a family made one
very interesting video of the UFO over the sea in the Straights
of Magellan. The video shows one cigar shape very clear to 150
meters from the witness. It had two lights on each end of the
object and it disappeared into the sea. The lights changed
color and appeared to change the structure in a strange way.
The Chilean Navy does not have an explanation for the sighting.
Thanks to Rodrigo Fuenzalida. The object appears as a large
elongated metal cylinder. It is difficult to estimate size but,
it appears about the size and shape of a cargo ship. Please go
to their website for images. http://www.aion.cl.

ENGLAND CIRCLE OF LIGHTS

GATWICK AIRPORT -- A retired telecom engineer Jerry Horlan,
stood in his Broadfield kitchen at 5:00 AM on January 31, and
he was gripped by an eerie sense that he was not alone. He was
astounded to see a circle of strange lights hovering over the
south side of Gatwick Airport. He explained: "I had been up all
night and was just making myself a cup of coffee when I saw
something very strange out of the window. "Hovering over the
south side of the airport were 12 bright lights circling slowly
round. "I just could not believe what I was witnessing." The
father-of-two tracked the objects for more than an hour until
dawn began to break last Thursday morning and the lights slowly
moved away from the airport and disappeared. Mr. Horlan, 58,
who lives in Farnham Close, Broadfield, continued: "It was a
unique experience. I have traveled all around the world and
never seen anything like that before. "I am not saying it was
definitely a UFO butit would be good to get some sortof
explanation to account for what I saw." The skies over Gatwick
Airport have seen a number of close encounters over the years
with witnesses reporting seven suspected UFO sightings alone in
the summer of 1996. This prompted skywatcher Larry Dean, from
Brighton's Skysearch agency to suggest aliens were watching
Gatwick to study earthly air travel. But Government officials
and BAA have continued to dismiss these strange events and
refused to recognize the existence of UFOs. Commenting on the
latest spotting, a BAA spokesman said: "We have run a check and
can report nothing out of the ordinary at that time, but we
have passed the information on to air traffic control which is
looking into it." Thanks to Gary Farshores and Crawley News via
Surrey Online

LIFE ON MARS

For life to be present on Mars scientists agree that there must
first be water. The Odyssey spacecraft is now surveying for
evidence of underground water and new analysis indicates water
is abundant on Mars particularly in the South Pole area. My
photo analysis of ancient forts, geometric construction,
temples indicate life was once abundant on Mars and may have
actually gone underground. We may have to wait for men actually
visiting the ancient sites to gather real proof. Based on my
photo analysis I believe there has been life on Mars because of
the presence of alien artifacts and unnatural formations that
include Cydonia. I agree that that this is one of the most
provocative enigmas confronted in the history of science. I
admit there are many geologic and natural forces working on
Mars that defy explanation. Last week, Art Bell's Radio show
discussed various anomalies that can be seen on his website at
www.artbell.com. However, my analysis is not based on the
anomalies shown here which are probably natural. My primary
data is based on the Russian Phobos 2 IR images showing what
appears to an underground city. Phobos data, released on
Canadian TV, presents an infrared scan radiometer image of the
Martian surface that showed clearly defined rectangular areas.
These are interconnected with a latticework of perfectly
straight lines that resemble city blocks, underground temples,
reservoirs and manufacturing complexes. The heat signature of
what may be a set of underground caverns or channels are just
too geometrically regular to be formed naturally. According to
Dr. John Becklake of the London Science Museum, "The city-like
pattern is 60 kilometers wide and could be easily be mistaken
for an aerial view of Los Angeles." I would be happy to reveal
these photos to Congress as part of the Disclosure Project.

INDEPENDENT-INTERNATIONAL PICTURES WINS OLDEST KNOWN UFO PHOTO

At the end of the E-bay online auction of March 4, 2002,
Independent-International Pictures Corp. president Samuel M.
Sherman announced that his company had won at auction the
oldest known UFO photograph. After several days of feverish
bidding, Sherman won the photo for his company in the last 50
seconds of the auction with a final high bid of $385. The
photograph is a winter 1870 stereo (3-D) view of clouds over
Mount Washington in New Hampshire. Plainly and sharply visible
in the photo is a long cigar-like object. Since this is before
known manned flight (with the exception of balloons - which
this is not) the object will have to be ruled as a solid
Unidentified Flying Object. Structure to this solid object is
clearly and sharply seen in some detail as is the reflection of
the sun off the object. The stereo view presents two images
(for right and left eye) which will be helpful in further
analysis of it. Sherman reported that due to the sharpness of
the image it will lend itself to further copying and
enlargement for study. Sherman also stated that this photograph
will not be locked up in some collection, but will be submitted
to scientists for detailed analysis and the results made
available to the public, which he says wants answers to the UFO
mystery.

Sherman states that the debunkers are already circling around
the photo on the internet, even though they have only been able
to see poor low resolution computer images and not photographic
enlargements of the actual photo. He expects this photo to be
very controversial for a long time still to come. Sherman and
Independent-International Pictures Corp. have already produced
the Edwards Air Force Base Encounter, one hour audio
documentary of the UFO alert at Edwards Air Force Base in 1965
(www.edwardsufo.com). Since 1992 a feature film docudrama has
been in research and production. It is called, "BEYOND THIS
EARTH" and concerns extraterrestrial visitation of Planet
Earth. Filming for this movie has taken place internationally
as well as the acquisition of UFO footage from locations all
over the world. The most amazing part of this project was the
1993 expedition which sent up a plane with photographic, motion
picture and video equipment to successfully pursue and image
UFOs over Northern California. Sherman stated that the 1870 UFO
photograph will have a place in "BEYOND THIS EARTH" and further
projects to be released to the public. Thanks to Sam Sherman

NEW NASA SHUTTLE VIDEO OF UFOs IN SPACE

Jeff Challender has prepared a new tape of various UFOs that
were caught on recent Shuttle video footage. Jeff has over a
hour-long tape of UFOs shot in space that he detected after
spending hundreds of hours watching the shuttle broadcasts from
the Shuttle missions. Even those onboard the shuttle are
unlikely to see what Jeff does. Using Jeff's directions you
will be able to learn the difference between space junk, ice
crystals and real UFOs. Send $25 to: Jeff Challender 2768
