Friends,
 
Finally I have obtained an English translation of the unprecedented paper
Monsignor Balducci gave me at our historic Meeting in Rome in December
(2002). In this seminal work, the Monsignor-theologian, (who is the Pope's
choice as Chief Exorcist for the Archdiocese of Rome/Vatican itself), not
only makes an air-tight case for the reality and acceptability of Star
Visitor contacts with humans, but argues that these Visitors are more highly
intellectually and spiritually evolved than humans.
 
The Monsignor gave me a copy of this Paper, and intends to share it with his
Vatican colleagues. It must also be the first document by a high-level
churchman to mention Area 51, Nevada

UFOLOGY AND THEOLOGICAL CLARIFICATIONS
(Monsignor Corrado Balducci - Pescara, June 8th. 2001)
 
 
Premise.
 
Over the last 150 years it have appeared sequentially and with an increasing
spreading and frequency rate, two types of
manifestations and phenomena, very different between them, but both so
interesting, controversial and fascinating to divide
public opinion into two different aspects: or everything is real, or well
everything is false. These are spiritualism and ufology. It shouldn't
surprise us this approach, because it's related only to the reactions and
behaviour of the public before these two phenomena and not to their contents, obviously quite different between both of them
 
Regarding spiritualism, this is a practice for which there are testimonies
across the centuries; in 1847, with the sisters Fox in Hydesville (New
York), it had a special remark and spread rapidly in several countries. Very
soon there was an explanation for the phenomena connected to such practices,
even by the scientists: the souls of the disincarnated, better said of the
dead people, are the cause of this. This was called the spiritualist
hypothesis, against which theologians soon opposed to the so called demonic
hypothesis.
 
Only by the end of XIX century there were made the first attempts to look
for a natural explanation, and finally in 1922, with the thick book of the
French scientist Charles Richet, Traitè de Mètapsychique , it began
officially the so called Metapsychics, nowadays better known as
Parapsychology.
 
When I began with my demonic and metapsychic studies back in 1950, I found
myself in a period when, since two decades ago, it was denied the existence
of spiritualist phenomena (and not only by some scientists, but also by a
very wide public opinion), that represented at that time the most abundant
cases of Metapsychics.
 
The same is valid since some decades on regarding Ufology.
 
After this premise, we reach our subject, for which I have two very brief
clarifications to expose.
 
- The acronym UFO (Unidentified Flying Object), is used here in a wider
sense, or even better, including also the existence of living beings in
other planets.
 
- The aim of my intervention is to underline that something real must exist
in the phenomena, and how this does not contrast at all with Christian
religion, being considered positive even among theologians.
 
 
Let's divide the speech in three points:
1. Something real must exist.
2. Theological considerations on the habitability of other planets.
3. Some testimonies favourable to it.
 
 
I - UFO: Something real must exist.
 
This is a statement coming out from basic considerations based upon common
sense, human rationalism and upon a normal and possible course of our lives,
considering not only individual and social aspects, but also religious.
 
In fact, today there is a great amount (still increasing) of testimonies
regarding the so called flying saucers or spaceships and the
extraterrestrials; and among them there are some coming from reliable
persons, with a culture and initially non believers. There are already
hundreds of thousands of eye witnesses in the world that state to have seen
UFO's at least once. There are so many, even in a smaller amount, the
testimonies coming from the so called contactees.
 
If we consider this, it seems impossible to deny at a rational level that
something real does exist A totally sceptic behaviour is not justified at
all, because a priori seems to be against to the elemental prudence
suggested by the good sense.
 
It is also real that we could think rationally that so large average of
testimonies could be due to illusions, hallucinations and to states of
intense suggestion. In other cases it could be also due to particular light
effects or well to atmospheric phenomena, such as clouds that over the
mountains may show a shape similar to the flying saucers; we could use as an
example the so called ball rays or well globular flashes of lighting.
 
Other times UFO's could be confused with certain types of round-shaped
aeroplanes, that were certainly built in USA since
the so called Cold War (it is also certain that Russia built some aeroplanes
of this type). This promoted in the period after World War II, the spreading
of the idea that flying saucers were nothing else but new inventions with
warring aim, obviously kept secret.
 
But these are always inaccurate explanations and considerations to explain
the number of testimonies and the wideness of UFO phenomenon. The most
severe and hard criticism could reduce largely this number, but never will
be able to eliminate all of them.
 
We also have to remember that in several countries exist places,
organisations and associations that collect evidences and
testimonies on tape, in order to make them examine and study by experts and
scientists as necessary; after that the whole set is catalogued in
explainable and non explainable phenomena. It is not any longer a secret the
existence of the so called Area 51 in the United States, within a zone in
the hearth of the Nevada desert; an enormous land area that has a larger
construction
underground than on the surface. In France is famous the SEPRA association;
in Italy there is the CUN, Centro Ufologico
Nazionale (National Ufological Centre), already on its 36th. year of
existence, and with Dr. Roberto Pinotti as President since long ago; also in
Italy there is since 4 years until now the CIFAS ( Council of International
Federation of Advanced Studies ) dedicated to study the relationships
between man and extraterrestrial space, which President is still Gen.
Salvatore
Marcelletti.
 
Regarding the existence of something real within UFO phenomenon, I must add
another consideration that was left for
last to better underline its importance. And this is, that a generalised,
systematic and total incredulity finally would weaken
and destroy the value of human testimony, with serious and unforeseeable
consequences, because that is the base of life not
only individual and social, but also religious.
 
In fact, testimony is a form of communication of our faith in our partner.
This is a widely spread way on daily life (when listening news, spending,
buying, etc.). Let's imagine what could happen on individual and social life
if the value of human
testimony was weaken, with the logical decrease and disappearance of that
faith many times is essential for daily life
 
After this, I have extended such inconveniences to religious life; in fact,
also Christian religion is based upon human testimony, being the Divine
Revelation an historical fact.
 
In 1937 Jesuit theologian Herbert Thurston wrote on purpose: From a logical
point of view, christians that accept miracles and other episodes related on
the Gospel... they cannot reject in an obstinate way the reiterated
testimonies of modern and reliable witnesses, that relate what their eyes
have seen...
 
All our Apologetic system is based upon the belief in the Truth said in the
Gospel ( Church and Spiritualism ; Milan, 1937; p.p. 179). For that:
systematic demolition and discredit of humantestimonies regarding simple
fact data, seem to me contrary in principle to all belief on the historic
seriousness of Gospel, and indirectly, to every belief on Christian
Revelation (Op. Cit.
p.p. 157).
 
 
II. Theological and biblical considerations on the habitability of other
planets.
 
First of all a clarification: we should exclude that angels use spaceships,
due to the fact that they are merely spiritual beings, and that they are
wherever they want to be, and in the rare cases when they show themselves,
they don't have any difficulty to assume a visible form. The very same we
can say about dead people. Holy Virgin, in the very few cases when she could
consider to be in contact with human people (very exceptional episodes and
to be confirmed in their authenticity), continues to choose other very
different ways to transmit us her maternal affection, to manifest us her
urgencies, to communicate us her maternal claims or to give us her sweet
reproaches. Even keeping their angelic nature, we shouldn't think about the
devils at all, because they are connected in their liberty to God on their
extraordinary activity, and in that way they are disabled to express their
terrible and malefic hate regarding us. Let's remember St. August: If the
devil by his own initiative could do
anything, even a single living being would not stay on Earth (ML 37, 1246);
let's remember also to St. Buenaventura: Is so large the demon's cruelty,
that he would swallow us in every moment, if Divine protection don't guard
us ( Diaeta salutis , tit. 7 c.1, Verona 1748, p. 183).
 
Therefore, when speaking about extraterrestrials, we must think in beings
like us, or well and preferably in other types of
living beings, that in their spiritual part they have associated a material
one; better said, a body in a better state than the one
existing for us as humans.
 
There is not a scientific certainty yet about this problem, even if this
seems to be closer and closer, thanks to the progress of science and study.
Regarding the theological and biblical aspect of this matter, we can remark
three points, three affirmations in favour from the various considerations:
 
1. Before all, that exist other inhabited planets is something possible. In
the Bible there are not specific allusions to other living beings, but
neither is excluded this hypothesis, that for this stays as possible, if we
think that God's omnipotence and wisdom have no limits, being infinite.
 
2. Furthermore, the existence of other inhabited planets is something
credible. In fact, there is a great diversity between angels, merely
spiritual beings and us, composed by spirit and matter; better said, soul
and flesh, but a soul that cannot act if don't use the body as an
instrument; a body that makes with its passions and capital vices
conditional the soul to the point of make human person so fragile, and more
devoted to evil than to goodness. Therefore is credible that this enormous
distance between us and the angels could be reduced by the presence of
beings that, having also a body (even if more perfect), their soul is less
conditioned on their intelligent and volitional acting.
 
If necessary, there is another confirmation upon the very ancient saying of
Lucrezio Caro: Natura non facit saltus ; a very
famous phrase (that I found on the De rerum natura ) and quoted - regarding
that argument - also by some theologians.
 
Another consideration is taken for the aim of the creation, or well the
Glory of God, a concept that you can find several times on the Bible. For
instance, Psalm 18 begins by saying precisely: heavens sing the glory of
God . But only human person is able to give this glory to God in a conscious
way, because it has intelligence and free will.
 
Precisely for this, several theologians say, is not only possible but
credible, that in the spaces that are distant and inaccessible for men and
his scientific instruments, do exist other beings able to know God as their
Creator, and also they give Him this Glory, that for them and their worlds
represent the aim of Creation.
 
Jesuit Father Domenico Grasso, Professor of Theology at the Pontifical
Gregorian University wrote on purpose: Why all the
perfection God has spread so widely in the universe should be kept hidden
without singing the glory of God? Wouldn't it be a
discordance unsuitable for God? Who writes a book knowing that it will never
be read by anyone, or well who paints a painting to hide it from anyone's
sight? .
 
He claims regarding the statements made by German theologian Joseph Pohle in
one of his books of 1904 (page 457): It seems to be accordingly with the
aim of the world that inhabitable celestial bodies are settled by creatures
that recognise the glory of God in the physical beauties of their worlds, in
the same way man does with his smaller world ( Die Sternewelt undihre
Bewohner - The Stars of Universe and its Inhabitants ; Köln 1904; pp.
457). Finally Father Grasso concludes: we must think in the angels to know
where God receives the glory from these worlds from, because them, that are
purely spiritual, are not able to know the matter but indirectly, in the
same way man does with the spirit (ib.).
 
3. Beyond to be something possible and credible, I would see desirable the
inhabitability of other planets. In a future, even if very remote, these
eventual inhabitants, superior to us, could be very helpful to us, specially
in our spiritual path. In a non practical way, they could had been
protecting and helping us since long time ago.
 
If it is the case that they do really exist intelligent beings on other
planets, it would be easier to understand how to conciliate their existence
with the redemption of Christ. As St. Paul says (cfr. Col. 1, 16-17), a real
fact is that Christ is the centre and head of the creation of the universe.
Therefore there are no worlds without a reference of Him. From the Bible is
possible to assure that Christ, as Incarnated Verb, has total influence upon
all the possible inhabited planets.
 
I quote what said by St. Paul to the Colossians: For by Him all things were
created that are in heaven and that are on Earth, visible and invisible,
whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were
created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things and in Him all
things consist... For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness
should dwell. And by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether
things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of
His cross (Col. 1, 16-20).
 
The Church celebrates the last Sunday of the Liturgical Year (before the
Advent) as the Feast of Christ, King of the universe, and in its liturgy the
universality of His kingdom is remembered, which is also expressed in the
daily Mass.
 
 
III. Algunos testimonios a favor.
 
There exist several interesting statements on the inhabitability of other
worlds by lay scientists, theologians or servants of God which already
qualified for a process of beatification or canonisation. Obviously I'll
limit myself to quote just some of them.
 
Beginning with the laymen, let me quote the great French scientist Charles
Richet (1850 - 1935), that was, among other things, a materialist. In 1922,
in his Traitè de Mètapsychique , he stated: Do we have any right to claim,
just because of our limited senses and our mistaken intelligence, that man
is the only intelligent being in this immense cosmos?... That other
intellectual forces, different from us, exist, is not only possible but
extremely probable. It is even certain... It is absurd to claim that we are
the only intelligence in nature... The existence of these beings cannot be
proven, but the probability of their existence is evident (loc. cit., Paris
1922, pp. 787-788).
 
I remember 5 theologians:
 
1. Cardinal Nicolò Cusano (1401 - 1464), philosopher and scientist that
said: We are not authorised to exclude that on
another star beings do exist, even if they are completely different from us
..
 
2. The Jesuit Father and astronomer Fr. Angelo Secchi (1818 - 1876) wrote:
It is absurd to claim that the worlds surrounding us are large, uninhabited
deserts and that the meaning of the universe lies just in our small,
inhabited planet. .
 
3. The famous Dominican preacher Jacques-Marie-Louis Monsabre (1827 - 1907)
referred to the principle Natura non facit
saltus when he claimed that other intelligent beings besides men and angels
exist.
 
4. The already quoted English Jesuit Father Herbert Thurston wrote: Who can
claim that there are no other intelligent beings besides these 3 categories
of angels, demons and men in the Universe of God? I do not intend to confirm
the possibility I
indicated in my question as a fact, but I ask: Who can be sure about it?
(Op. Cit., pp. 3).
 
5. German Theologian Giuseppe Pohle: Hypothesis of the plurality of
inhabited worlds is totally favourable to the glory of the Lord. God creates
for His glory, and any glory is possible without intelligent beings, able to
know the creation of the Lord
..
 
I remember two persons for whom there is already going on their process of
canonisation:
 
1. The Salesian Father and Servant of God Don Andrea Beltrami (1870 - 1897)
who prayed also for the possible inhabitants of other planets. Of the 16
booklets he wrote, one seems to deal with this topic (and I say seems
because unfortunately I was not able to know the titles of his 16
publications).
 
2. The second (with whom I want to close this paper), is the already
sanctified Padre Pio, who was beatified by Pope John
Paul II on May 2, 1999 and canonised on June 16, 2002. From St. Fr. Pio, the
following dialogue is documented and officially published by the Cappuchin
Order:
 
 
Question: Father, some claim that there are creatures of God on other
planets, too .
 
Answer: What else? Do you think they don't exist and that God's omnipotence
is limited to this small planet Earth? What else? Do you think there are no
other beings who love the Lord? .
 
 
Another question: Father, I think the Earth is nothing compared to other
planets and stars .
 
Answer: Exactly Yes, and we Earthlings are nothing, too. The Lord
certainly did not limit His glory to this small Earth. On other planets
other beings exist who did not sin and fall as we did .

A VIEW OF THE WORLD (COSMOS) AT CHRISTMAS

UFOs continue to be sighted in unusually large numbers indicating the world
is under scrutiny by watchers, guardians, tricksters, angels,
extraterrestrials, or who ever they are. My research has indicated there
are various groups of aliens with different intentions, their motivations
may be very different and they often appear to be fighting one another.
Most religions of the world agree in the concept of Sons of Light and Sons
of Darkness, good angels and evil ones, good aliens and bad. It is my
opinion the ancient writings give us an excellent understanding of our
visitors. Their visits have often been interpreted in religious terms, but
the data is essentially truthful and often the best we have.

Perhaps it would be useful at this time of year to step back and look at our
world through alien eyes. It is quite possible that our wars and crime are
considered a serious threat to other life forms. A case can be made that
they sent messengers to help establish a peaceful humanity by providing a
moral code to live by that has its basis in the Ten Commandments, that we
should love one another. The foundations of western culture are both
Judaism and Christianity while Islam is prominent in many other parts of the
world. Islam believes in essentially the same Ten Commandments and all the
great prophets of Judaism and Christianity. Islam honor's Christ, as second
only to the Prophet Mohammed himself.

During the last decade the world has changed a great deal as the West
triumphed in the Cold War and Communist countries changed their governments
and scientific atheism was essentially defeated by Christian cultures. Most
Communist countries are now allowing freedom of religion. China and Cuba
remain Communist, but are changing as well. The very foundations of the
Roman Catholic Church are being cleansed with the removal of many priests
and bishops. A war is likely to occur in Iraq and the threat from nuclear
biological or chemical terrorism grows. The US and Russia are building a
space station and our satellites are being sent out to Mars and other
planets. A joint Russo -Ukrainian space agency will launch a series of
spacecraft for the Moon's exploration and landings next year. China is
ready to launch men into space. Heavy fighting continues in Afghanistan,
Israel, Palestine and various other hot spots. Pakistan and India have set
off nuclear weapons. Terrorists are blowing up buildings and killing people
around the world. Many cities around the world even without the threat of
terror are dangerous to live in due to the high crime, drugs and shootings.

Anyone watching Earth, could easily come to the conclusion Earth is a very
dangerous place and humans should not be allowed to venture into the Cosmos.
To some extent we are involved in a religious war. Certain elements
claiming to be strong Islamic Fundamentalists have chosen to declare a Holy
War against Christian countries using terrorism. They point to western
aggression and the Crusades as evidence of western aggression with more
recent attacks on Iraq and Palestine.

According to the Bible which is the foundation of Western Culture angelic
messengers were sent to provide humans with a morale code that would allow
us to live peacefully in the Cosmos. The Ten Commandments and other
religious teachings all provide laws that if followed would allow humankind
to join the other intelligent civilizations in the universe. The Bible
provides some amazing concepts of a world view. The God of the Bible is the
God of the Cosmos located in the Andromeda Galaxy, Creator, and supreme
ruler of the heavens and the Earth. The Bible, Torah and Koran informs us
messengers or angels have been sent on a regular basis to provide us with
teachings. No where in the Bible is life, limited to this Earth, in fact it
speaks of cities, armies, animals, houses, horses, and the like in heaven.
It strongly implies there is extraterrestrial life in the Cosmos. Hebrews 1
states, "God who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in times past
unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by
his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the
worlds."

If intelligent life was found today on Mars, people could simply dust off
their Bible and point out many passages, that clearly point to
extraterrestrial visits such as the wheel like spaceship that landed near
Ezekiel. In some cases we may have to go back to the original Greek meaning
of words because throughout the Bible the Greek word Kosmos has been changed
to world during translation. Kosmos means the Cosmos or universe just like
it does today and is used 169 times in the Bible. It is obvious that the
watchers are aware of the threat we present to the Cosmos.

We celebrate Christmas because, "For God so loved the world (Cosmos) that he
gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him should not perish
but have eternal life" (John 3:16) Jesus last words were "Go into all the
world (Cosmos) and preach the Good News to everyone, everywhere." After the
Lord Jesus had spoken to them he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the
right hand of God. (Mark 16:15&19) The Great Commission of Christianity is
not only to spread the gospel throughout the world, but to spread the gospel
throughout the Cosmos. Does our Christian President have a plan to fulfill
prophecy of the Bible? My hope is that there can be peace on Earth. Then
this Biblical mission can be carried out. The final promise of the Bible
is: "And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and
great glory."

WEATHER UPDATE: The sun is currently experiencing a M-Class Flares with
increased sunpot activity likely, that will probably result in "extreme
weather" on Earth.

BUSH ORDERS MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM DEPLOYED

An unarmed Minuteman II intercontinental ballistic missile was launched from
Vandenberg Air Force Base in California during an unsuccessful test of the
Missile Defense Program on December 11, 2002. President Bush has ordered
the U.S. military to begin deploying a national missile defense system with
10 interceptor rockets at a base in Alaska by 2004, that will likely stop a
relatively small number of incoming ballistic missiles. As a candidate,
Bush promised to build an anti-missile shield, and earlier this year he
pulled out of an anti-ballistic missile treaty to advance the plan.
Tuesday, he cited the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on America as
evidence that the country faces ''unprecedented threats'' and needs the
anti-missile shield. ''Today, the United States cannot stop a single
ballistic missile headed for an American city,'' said Hunter, R-Calif., who
chairs Armed Services subcommittee on military research and development.

PENNSYLVANIA EGG LIKE SPHERES

SHARPSVILLE -- On December 8, 2002, I was driving on the Charleston Road at
7:45 PM, with my friend when I saw two definite aircraft hovering in the
West. It appeared a beam of light emanated from one of the objects. They
disappeared after the beam ceased.

PITTSBURGH -- The witness and a friend were doing some training for cross
country track by running a few miles on this abandoned strip-mine near our
houses at 4:00 PM. We were running along on November 19, 2002, when I
looked up, and saw an almost elliptical object that came within fifty feet
of us. It was right above us and barely made any sound. Then all of the
sudden it made this rumbling sound. Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC

MARYLAND UFO FIVE TIMES BIGGER THAN THE MOON.

BALTIMORE -- A 50 year old steelworker reports that on November 19, 2002,
around 5:20 AM, he witnessed something that he could not explain. He says,
"I was observing the meteor shower, as I was looking up I noticed a large
object moving across the night sky from north to south and the object was
five times the size of the moon. It had a line of 8 to 10 lights across
it, and also had four lights in a circle on the right side. I lost sight of
the object as it went overhead. Peter Davenport spoke at length with this
witness, and we found him to be quite credible. PD))

WASHINGTON DC F-16S SCRAMBLED TWICE

CNN announced, "Two Air Force F-16 fighters were scrambled Monday, December
16, 2002, at 10:30 AM, after radar detected a potential violation of the
15-mile restricted flight zone around the nation's capital, said officials
with the North American Aerospace Defense Command. Officials speculated
either a flock of birds or an anomaly caused by high winds resulted in the
radar reading, which indicated a possible flight violation 18 miles
northwest of Reagan National Airport. F-16s maintained a combat air patrol
over Washington for at least an hour, and air traffic was halted briefly.

WBAY ABC Channel 2 News in Wisconsin reports that later that night, Two more
fighter jets were scrambled on December 17, 2002, to intercept a small plane
over the nation's capital. The plane had flown into restricted airspace
over Washington, but officials determined it posed no threat and called off
the intercept. The plane later landed in Martinsville, West Virginia.
Since the nine-eleven attacks, fighters have responded to more than 600
airspace security incidents. Thanks to Kenny Young.

Editor's Note: Bill Bean and others are regularly videotaping unknown
flying craft over the area that is likely being picked up by radars. Any
radar operator knows the difference between a balloon and a UFO intruder.

VIRGINIA PARANORMAL AND UFO INVESTIGATION

LEESBURG -- Alexander Zikas MUFON VA investigator and who has a masters
degree in engineering evaluated the reports of UFOs and high paranormal
activity and has determined the probably cause is misidentification of the
airport traffic, stars, and street lamps. The witness lives on a high hill
overlooking the entire area and has double paned windows which can explain
the reflective moving lights. As he conducted interviews with the witness
she pointed out aircraft strobe lights as possible UFO activity. There had
been reflections of moving lights in the windows that again were probably
aircraft landing at the nearby Dulles Airport. Videos taken by the witness
appear to be unusual lighting patterns on some landing aircraft. The
remarkable speed of the objects was likely caused by the zoom-out effect of
the camcorder rather than jerking of the camera. The witness claimed the
lights were jumping and could not be aircraft lights. The investigator felt
the jumping lights were caused by eye fatigue. Her camera batteries
mysteriously became drained by the jumping lights. This may have been
caused the radar/radio signals from Dulles airport tower that can be seen
from the home.

The investigator was able to photograph orbs at the eyewitness' street
corner named after the Ball Bluff Battlefield, which is allegedly active for
"ghosts". The witness appears to have a heightened awareness of the
paranormal and may be witnessing what a lot people are seeing lately, called
"Shadow people". The house is situated on a hill that may have been an old
settlement for a frontier settler or Indian camp. The family has a history
of psychic ability and has recorded very high electrometric biofield
readings that are much higher than normal. The daughter had exceptionally
high readings and may be picking up various spirits or may be the cause of
paranormal activity. Thanks to author of Greek Future, Alexander Zikas

NORTH CAROLINA EGG LIKE UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS

LINCOLNTON -- While watching the Leonid meteor showers , looking straight up
there was an area where most of the meteors seemed to be coming from on
November 19, 2002. I noticed a satellite moving into this area at 5:40 AM,
then there appeared two football shaped objects each with 5 or 6 orange
lights traveling north-northwest faster then the satellite, but slower than
the meteors. They lasted about 25 seconds. Then the one on the left moved
directly behind the other and began moving extremely fast and erratic side
to side, forward, and backwards that aircraft could not do. I'm 48 years
old and have never seen anything like this.

GRIFTON -- Jana Clancey of the The Daily Reflector writes, "Creatures from
outer space may have been checking on the affairs of Pitt County residents
Friday night. Several people from Farmville to the southern tip of Pitt
County reported an odd light racing across the night sky. J.K. Butler, a
former Grifton volunteer firefighter, was sitting in the old Red and White
parking lot about 11 p.m. Friday. He was there with three fire department
friends when the sky around them lighted up, coloring everything from the
ground to the trees to themselves a strange shade of green and blue. The
light passed over them, he said. And when they looked up, it was so
blinding they couldn't identify the object. "We all just looked at each
other like, 'What in the world was that?'"

Butler said. "I've never seen anything that color, and it had some good
size to it, too, and it was up in the air pretty good", he said. His first
thought: the light had come from a UFO. "Maybe it was government-related.
If it was, we'll never know," he said. Over the fire-rescue scanners
mounted in the volunteers' trucks, calls came in from Ayden and the Pitt
County Sheriff's Office. Butler heard patrol cars being dispatched to check
for something that had fallen from the sky in the area of Jolly and Abbott
Farm roads. Sgt. Marty Burroughs sent three of his deputies to survey for
damage, or possibly, a spacecraft between the Ayden Police Department and
the two rural roads. They didn't find a thing. Deputies found the houses
to be safe and left the area. Snip:

GEORGIA MUFON REPORT

LAGRANGE -- MUFONGA has a source of information from a really sharp,
intelligent, and observant female resident whose father is a 33 year veteran
airline pilot, and her husband a veteran Marine. This witness indicated
that shortly after 6 AM on Monday, December 2, 2002, she went onto her porch
to feed her cats. She noticed a stationary blinking light above/through the
pine trees across her street, where no blinking light should have been. She
observed more closely and found it to be similar to a beacon light and she
timed the flashes to about every eight seconds. She added that it appeared
to be like a light on top of one of the satellite antennas, but no such
array exists in that area. She later described it to her husband who told
her of his experience during the same time frame. He arrives at his work
location about 6:00 AM, which is about ten miles from home. About 6:25 AM,
that morning, he and a couple of his associates were outside and observed
some sort of triangular appearing craft silently "zip" across the sky. It
was just beginning to get light outside, with only tree outlines visible.
The flying triangle had one light in the center and may have been about the
size of baseball at arm's length. Thanks to Tom Sheets, State Director
MUFONGA

FLORIDA MOVING STARS DANCE ACROSS THE SKY

LAKE PANASOFFKEE -- My background first: I am a 20 year AF vet, pilot, and
aircraft owner 67 years of age. I have never seen a UFO, although I have
been looking for one for a long time. Early this morning, I was out in an
open field watching the Leonid meteor showers and about 05:45 AM. I noticed
a bright, very high object traveling across the sky. When I noticed the
first object it traveled in a straight line ENE across the sky about 80
degrees above the horizon. Since the sun was about to come up I could see
the arc of light that the sun made in the eastern sky. It seemed to travel
faster than satellites I have seen before. As it reached the upper edge of
the arc the sun made it disappear from view. About 5 minutes later another
bright object appeared and traveled in the same direction, same speed, and
the same altitude as the first. It disappeared from my view in the same
area of the sky. All this time I was seeing the meteors as they entered the
atmosphere and burned up. The third object appeared in about the same area
as the first two about 5 minutes later but traveled more in an easterly
direction. I know there is a lot of space junk in orbit so I can't discount
that. But I don't think that many satellites would have traveled across the
sky that close together in time. It took the objects about 20 seconds to
travel the distance that I was able to observe them.

BRADENTON -- My daughter and I had gotten up to watch the Leonid Meteor
Shower this morning (November 18, 2002) for her science project and were
facing northeast when she saw a star move across the sky. She asked me to
look and to my surprise, I also saw what appeared to be a star moving across
the sky. It was not a shooting star because it was moving in a horizontal
direction. A second star moved towards the first and we noticed several of
these star looking objects moving all around. They appeared to stay in
pairs. We saw them come to abrupt stops in mid-flight, make right angle
turns, doing 360 circles. They made a full circle in their area and would
make a 90 degree turn or shoot straight across the sky. They appeared to be
"dancing" across the sky in pairs except for the lone "star". My daughter
and I woke my husband up and he too came out and saw the phenomena. Thanks

OHIO CHEVRON GOSSAMER V-SHAPED OBJECT

LAKEWOOD -- Around 11:30 PM, on November 27, 2002, an amateur astronomer for
the past twenty years was looking and caught sight of the planet Jupiter,
rather bright and imposing. It was a rather chilly evening so I decided to
leave my telescope indoors and just do some 'eyeball astronomy'. After a
couple minutes I suddenly noticed an object midway up in the east moving
south. Its appearance was that of broadly V-shaped gossamer contrail, three
full moon diameters wide, without any lights or form of illumination. The
object continued to move south steadily. I lost sight of it after twenty
seconds!

COLORADO 'V' SHAPED, LARGE FLYING TRIANGLE

DENVER -- It was a 'v' shaped object with a main set of lights on the front
at 1100 PM, on December 13, 2002. I couldn't count them. Possibly about
ten. Behind these lights there were several dimmer ones possibly defining
more of the object. It looked like there may have been smaller lights
around it. It was fairly large and it was moving east to west just above
the tree line. I estimate that it was moving at 200mph. It was about 200
yards up and 1/8th of a mile south of me. It didn't make any noise and it
completely disappeared. Thanks to NUFORC

WASHINGTON DOGS GO CRAZY OVER HUGE UFO

BELLINGHAM -- On December 8, 2002, the dogs went crazy at about 8:45 PM,
with the amazing light display on a cold, but clear night. The witness was
standing out side watching my husband chopping fire wood, when all the dogs
of Sudden Valley started howling. I heard a strange loud eerie hum that
went low to high then back to low. I asked my husband what was that and we
heard it one more time. My husband yelled, "That's what made the noise!"
There was a flash of lights circling a ship that was standing motionless a
1000 feet above us. Then it began to move and the lights on this object
flashed different colors. A red light that made the shape of circle seem
to come from the top of the ship cascading down to the base of the ship
showing the true size. It was Huge! Then once the red circle reached the
base of the center of the bottom of the ship four lines on each side of the
circle in the center of the ship went from the center to the outer part of
the ship four on each side. The lines of light went from the center to the
outside then lights completed a circle of the outside of the ship.. It was
an amazing display of a light show that kept repeating the pattern of
lights. It was flying south then in seconds it was going west like the shape
of an L.directly down our street. I ran down the road too keep it in sight.
I saw the side view and it was the shape of a huge top hat with a circular
base that was at least 200 feet in diameter. Thanks to Peter Davenport

CALIFORNIA STRANGE CRAFT OVER BAY AREA

HAYWARD -- It was about 4 PM, when the witness saw what looked like a planet
or star, but it didn't shine like one. On November 19, 2002, he ran into
the house and grabbed his binoculars (12x50) and saw an object about the
size of a dime at arm's length. It was "egg shaped" like Billy D said, that
had a strange black "scaffolding" structure behind it. The object was pale
yellow and was seen for ten minutes. A flash of light appeared below it.
An orb like object streaked to the left at an incredible speed, and at arm's
length it appeared to be the size of a dime. I was surprised and moved
trying to show Billy D as the object streaked away and headed out over the
bay. A minute later an object flew over head leaving a huge loom of
chemtrail almost in the same spot the UFO was hovering! Thanks to Peter
Davenport NUFORC

MEXICO YACHT HAS HIGH SPEED FLYOVER

PACIFIC OCEAN -- A couple was on board their yacht, about 60 miles west of
Acapulco on November 23, 2002, when they saw a soundless flashing object
cross the sky in five seconds, moving ENE to WSW at 9:09 PM. The object was
intermittently flashing a bright white light. My wife thinks it was very
high up; if so, its speed must have been enormous. The object may have had
more than one light flashing.

VENEZUELA CRAFT SIGHTED BY MANY WITNESSES

CARACAS -- On November 22, 2002, I received a phone call from Zuly Suju
reporting a sighting at about 7.40 PM, in nearby Santa Mónica. The object
was spherical and about 40 meters in diameter and its lights were rotating
in slow motion, but very intense. The object was hovering and with
improving the vision, she noticed that it moved very slowly to the east/west
zone. The next day, when having breakfast at the Encuentro Iberoamericano
de Redluz. Miranda told me that an object was also sighted there at about
the same time, about 85 km from the former location. Then a couple Romayra
y Reinaldo León, just arriving from Caracas said that they live at the west
side of the city and they noticed the object at about 7.35 PM. Thanks to

POLICE TRACK UNITED KINGDOM SIGHTINGS

SWADLINCOTE DERBYSHIRE -- Whilst driving along a country road from to
Swadlincote, I was aware of a very intense flashing above my car. I pulled
over and both myself and my girlfriend looked up in amazement as three
objects flashed at a slow rate and moved faster than I had ever seen. at
first we thought that they could be fireworks but they started making a
whirring noise not dissimilar to an electricity substation.

CONGERSTONE -- On December 12, 2002,the sky was bright over the fields we
could see the northern lights at 10:56 PM. To our right hovering stationary
for 5 to10 minutes just above trees, we saw a shining a bright light. It
was very difficult to see any shape, because the light was so bright. Then
it rose slowly and gracefully into the air a few meters away and came
overhead, very low and very quietly, gliding above us and disappeared out of
view. We ran outside to watch as it went over with its colored blue, red
yellow and white lights that were fairly dim now. We think it was a Diamond
shape and a second craft followed its path, but this had a more familiar
shape.

POLICE FORCES ON UFO ALERT -- European police appear to have a new interest
in UFO reports with a possible connection to combating terrorism. Reports
of UFOs are rising during the holidays that is normally a slow period.

AUSTRALIA METALLIC SPHERE TRAVELING AT GREAT SPEED

HALLS GAP (NEAR MELBOURNE) -- The witness was sitting on the back balcony of
the Hall's Gap Tavern after a day seeing the sites. He had just taken a
picture of a commercial jet traveling west towards Perth simply because he
liked the look of the vapor trail at 2:56 PM on November 16, 2002. He
spotted what he thought was a white feather or possibly a thistle down
floating in the in the air 20 degrees above the horizon. The quite odd
thing about this object was that it wasn't floating about aimlessly like a
wind born object, it was going dead straight from west to east across the
sky. It was difficult to focus on because it was a fair distance away. I
stared at it for a few seconds before realizing that I'd better take a
picture. I moved out onto the lawn I took one photograph despite the size
and distance. As I stared at it longer it diminished in size and eventually
stopped eastward movement. I realized that it was a light metallic colored
sphere heading directly upward from my position. Its movement was possibly
an arc from the point I first observed the object to the point that it
disappeared from view directly above me. It made no noise. Left no trail.
It appeared to be round in shape with no wings. No man made object I've
ever seen can move like this thing did. It took 20 seconds to traverse to a
90 degree position directly above me at an estimated speed of 6,000.

Collie in Australia writes, "I took some OPC-3 last year to recover from a
serious illness; two other people here were bedridden for 6 months, then
recovered quickly on taking OPC-3. Medically it checks out well on the
public database with studies done by the Pasteur Institute. Will try to
cure another sick person with it next week! Thanks to Collie.

Editors Note: Many people have written to me about their sightings and
success with OPC-3. My local MD recommended this product to me and uses it
to help many health problems, and now my whole family is now taking it. The
results are so impressive that I'm now making it available to my readers.
It is made from a combination of grape seed, pine bark and red wine extracts
in addition to bilberry and citrus extracts. These OPC's are super effective
free radical neutralizers. They are not limited to being strong
antioxidants, they are also crucial in their role in supporting the
circulatory system and strengthening the capillaries. OPC-3 is a natural
food supplement that should be taken for a lifetime.
