Edited by Rev. Dr. Raymond W. Boeche
ForewordIts my pleasure to present in this volume, the complete
collection of the Journal of the Fortean 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 capacities 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 drastically 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,
encouraged, 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; Id 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
usable format, and present that to you, with my compliments.
Raymond Boeche holds a B.A. from Peru State College in art, a Th.M.
degree from St. Marks School of Divinity, and a Th.D from St. Paul
Theological College. Ordained in the Reformed Episcopal Church,
Rev. Dr. Boeche served as Rector of Celebration Anglican Church in
Lincoln, Nebraska from 1994 through 2005, and currently serves as

A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
all aspects of unexplained phen omena, including UFOs , crypto
zoological mysteries, out-of place animal sightings, geolog ical
and archaeological an omalies, psychic phenomena, and all other
areas of study which may provide data useful to the resolution of
these perplexing mysteries. Our other prime purpose is to serve as
a source of accurate, reliable inform ation for the public at
large.
This, the first iss u e of the Journal of t h e Fortean Research
Center was put together i n considerable haste. It was our
intention to make the first issue twice this size, or sixteen pages
in length. Due to time considerations, this was simply impossible.
We will remain a quarterly for a while, in order to ease the
constraints on time placed on our staff. However,we do hope to
publish no less than 64 pages per year, and our goal is twice that
amount. We hope you appreciate ou r efforts, and help us to grow
bigger, a nd better. Thank you

FORTEAN RESEARCH JOURNALWELCOME 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 syndicate 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 Nebraska-Lincoln, in 1982 and 1983. In order
to maintain the high quality of speakers which we were able to
present previously, again, an important consideration is financing.
We will be exploring many avenues to raise the necessary 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,
outof-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 worldwide . 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

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 available 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 previously
unreleased documents from t he Defense Intelligence Agency,
c~ncerning their interests in UFOs. This release of documents was
in response to a Freedom 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.
FORTEAN RESEARCH JOURNALWHAT'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.
5
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 extending 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 examination 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
FORTEAN RESEARCH JOURNALSTEVE 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 trigger 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
McDonnell 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,
February 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 impacting 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 submerged 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.

A covert analytical etfort organized by Gen. Twining and actin~

conoensus (19 September, 1947) that the aieo waa most likely a
short ran8e reconnaissance crRft. This concluoion waa baaed for the
moat part on the oratta size And the apparent lack of any
identiti.a.ble proviaionin~. (See Attachment "D", ) A a 1.m1lar

Pine Bush, NY-The worst thing about bei n g a UFO photographer is
it's a full-tiMe job and ~ou don't Make a cent. "It's ridicu lous,"
said Ellen Cr~stall. "I've got over 500 pictures of UFO' s -I s
pend thousands o n deve l o p i ng-a nd I ge t no f u nding at
all.Cr~stall was s itting in her favorite UFO field here, off
Searsvill ~oad . It was pouring and she wasn ' t optiMistic. "H e~
shi ps ! CoMe on shi ps !" she called . "It's pointless- ships
don't coMe out in the rain."Cr~stall doesn't have tiMe to waste.
She is stud~ing for her Ph.D in the highl~ respected New York
Universit~ Music prograM. She holds a part-tiMe word-processing job
. "UFO's cut into M~ wor~. tiMe," she said. "Oh '.:leah, ar.d M!:l

She gets no cooperation. "The ships intentiona ll!:f interfere
with the caMera," she sa id. Ever tr'.:l to get UFO pictures

negative and don ' t print it. The!:f don't realize the littl e
dots surrounde d b!:f black are the UFO' s. "Yo1..' ve got to take
it to a custoM lab," she said. Cr!:fstall and her UFO associates,
who a ll hold down jobs during the da!:f, know soMe people think
this is craZ!:f "I don't caret'' she sa'.::ls "If a friend isn't
interested, I don ' t iMpose M~ views." ALIEN ENCOUNTER SoMe have
suggested that she stick to More traditional photo
subJects-Cr~stall won a 1981 contest in the Bergen Record for a
photo of the Capitol in Washington.
Her Music has been pla~ed on New York radio stations. But
Cr~stall sa~s that ever~ s ince she saw her first alien in 1971,
she has believed in UFO ' s. "The being had a ver~ large head and a
rust-color stretch-knit j UMP suit," she recalled. "I said, 'Oh M~
God, the~ have stretch knit f a bric~"' She estiMates s he has seen
1,000 UFO 's . "It 's ridicLlous," she s a~s. " So Man~~ There are
a couple of airports near here, but Cr~stall sa~s it's eas~ to
recognize a UFOI "It coMes froM look.ing at so Man~. I can feel
theM. Even if soMething looks like an airplane, I'll sa~ , 'wait a
Minute, that ' s a ship. ' It Might have ~ellow lights-planes don '
t have ~ellow lights." She Joined several UFO associates for dinner
at the Magic Chef here recentl~. There was John White, a
speechwriter for a Connecticut coMpan ~ who has published 13 books
on paranorMal phenoMena and is running a UFO conference at the
RaMada Inn in North Haven Nov. 7 and Nov. 8, Dan Shenefield, a
postal worker was there, too, with his wife, Mari anne. "I was 11
when I was first abdLcted b~ aliens, " Marianne Shenefi eld s aid
between bites of the l obster special. "What did I know? I thought
he was froM the next town. He looked like a Chinese gu~ in a
sct..ba diving outfit ." ''Nai ve,'' said Cr~stal l. "Naive."
SKEPTIC CONVINCED "In ' :52, what did an~one know?" said
Shenefield. The Shenefields like to UFO watch near a New HaMpshire
airport. "A National Enquirer reporter caMe once," Harianne
Shenefield said. "He was a skeptic and then UFO's caMe and it blew
his Mind." Later, four of theM sat in their cars in the rain for
More than an hour . White stood in the field with his uMbrella and
tried for a better view, but there was nothing. "When ~ou see one,
it's fantastic," Cr~stall said. "Makes up for all

b~ 11Pfh The Stewart Airport fire chief, Arnold Hesser, has heard
the UFO tales. "There's a group of pilots froM the airport near
here at Stor,..ville who like to pretend to .be UFO's," he said.
"The~ fl~ in forMat.ion for Just that reasor " He said the~ put
different color lights on their planes to fake people out. "We see
theM " he said. "We Just sa~, 'the bo~s at Stor,..ville are at it

~ou that? That's the old star~! Apparentl~ he doesn't know what the

LIVENS UP ' QUIET SUNDAY EVENING ' 0Maha-A Man reported seeing two
airplanes collide i n the night the~ tk~, while other s thought
spotted a hot-air balloon or a helicopter. All authorities knew b~
the end of the night Sunda~ wa s that the~ had a UFO, which wa s
first spotted in the OMaha sk~ about 7:20 PM Barb Kl i netobe, an
OMaha dispatcher for the Nebraska State Patrol, said the .obJect
perked up what had been a quiet Sunda~ evening. "That was the
exciteMent of the night," she said with a laugh. An O"'aha 911
COMMUnications dispatcher said a Man reported seeing what he
thought was t"wo planes colliding near 60th and Q streets about
7:20 PM Police officers who went to the area saw a bright obJect in
the sk~ MOVing southwest, the dispatcher said . The obJeet caused a
flurr~ of radio activit~ as four police officers followed it to the
edge of the cit~ tr~ing to identif~ it. "The~ said it was Just a
bright solid white light," thE~ dispatcher . said. Klinetobe sai d

Gretna , where the~ lost sight of it about 8 PM She said troopers
think the obJect Might have been a Nebraska National Guard
helicopter on Maneuvers out of CaMP Ashland . The troopers said
helic~pters froM the caMp had conducted Maneuvers Saturda~ night.
Another explanation for the obJect caMe froM OMaha police
headquarters. An officer there said she was notified b~ an off-dut~
officer that the obJect was the planet Venus. She declined to naMe
the officer but said he is an aMateur astronoMer. The off-dut~
officer said if atMospheric conditions are correct, sunlight
reflecting off Venus can bounce around and change colors, she
said.

an object hovering 150-200 feet be~ond his back fence. The obJect
left, but apparent!~ returned at 3:30 a.M. "Hr. Ed" was awakened b~
his dog barking. Silent!~ he went to the French doors of his house

his caMera and photographed the object. Another encounter, with

but didn ' t know wh~. The ca"p closed a few weeks later and the~
went their separate wa~s. Over the ~ears Michael sought to repress
the CE-3. However, he had drea"s of being on bo~rd the obJect . Ten
~ears later he went public. Hichael contacted "e and told the whole

stor~. She was eventual!~ found and talked to. She had re"e"bered
the incident, but not ver~ clearl~. I set up a ti"e and place for a
"eeting, but was ver~ careful as to what conversation took place
between the two. Hichael had alread~ undergone a h~pnosis session
and clai"ed to have been abducted. Janet agreed to be h~pnotised on
her next visit to "e Michael underwent five sessions, Janet
underwent three. Both accounts were quite si"ilar. The~ both
describe being on board the object, seeing aliens, and being able
to recall details in which so"e sort of exa"ination was takirtQ
place. Hichael clai"ed v ivid recall of hi& experience and
responded in great detail. Janet had no knowledge that Hichael had
reported an abduction. Under h~pnosis, she gave si"ilar
descriptions described b~ Hichael. The e x istance of a
co"puterized panel was described b~ both witnesses. This is one of
the "ost pro"ising corroborations of the incident . Both told
virtual!~ the sa"e stor~ without con~erring with each other and
without an~ pro"pting on the p~rt of the h~pnotist. I "aintain that
we recovered original "e"or~ traces. I found both Susan and Barbera

DocuMents" I've beeh involved in the HJ-12 investigation for si x
~ears. I consider M~self to be a skeptic. I'M not a MeMber of an~
UFO organization. It was M~ insistance that we bring in Media
personal at a ver~ earl~ stage of the gaMe to confirM as a
disinterested third part~ that there was confirMation who we were
dealing with was inside the intelligence coMMunit~ and not Just
soMeone we wanted to sa~ was inside the intelligence COMMUnit~. The
star~ reported b~ the contact personal was outside M~ range . of
expertise. Bill and I are the onl~ ones in contact with the
inforMants . We needed to
deterMine Man~ of the perspectives of this case. Was it a hoax,
wh~ would soMeone benefit froM this? inforMative The total nuMber
of operatives is up to tertt si x of theM being Major. We Made the
decision to pla~ the rules of the intelligence operatives provided
we didn ' t violate an~ Journalistic et~ics, an~ legal ethics, or
Moral ethics in the process. We were critized for holding the HJ-12
docuMents so long, but it was for good reason. Before ~ov release
an~ inforMation ~ou need to exaMine the evidence, Also, it tells us
who else has the saMe Material. If we believe what we ' re told,
that the HJ-12 docuMents are real, it exists autonoMous of the
president of the United States. It is virtuall~ a Mini-governMent
within the governMent with sole responsibilit~ for ever~thing
related to the subJect area. So when we talk of coverup, what do w~
talk about? The~ coMe in Man~ different shapes and colors. If ~au
accept the preMise that the Roswell crash as being real, and the
governMent caMe in iMMediate!~, the onl~ responsible thing the
governMent could do would be to cover it up. Not coverup in the
sense to hide it froM ever~bod~, but get control of it, deterMine
what is going on, deterMine who is it going on with, is there a
threat to national securit~, and what is national securit~? FroM
the beginning it looks as if the~ did set up a HaJestic-12, with
twelve ver~ high level individuals with ver~ high level staffs, and
begin the exaMination of this Material. It still appears to be
valid inforMation. Next ~ou need to set up a preMise. First is that
~ou accept this docuMent for what it is. So let's see if we can
prove that it is what it sa~s it is, or can we disprove it? Short
of SOMeone in the governMent coMing forward, and that Might be in
the works ver~ shortl~, I can't authenticate a
docuMent, blt I can find o1. t a lot of things about it . What
~ou can prove is, is it a fraud? To this da~ nothing ha s surfaced
to prove that it is a hoax or a fraud . The bottoM line is can ~ou
prove it? That is the whole preMise of our work. Bringing in news
Media was a beginning . It gave us the disinterested third part~.
To this da~ we have received not one nickel b~ this. We have been
accused of perpetrating a hoa :< , bt.t we have nothing to gain
b~ this. We have ever~thing to lose b~ it. The biggest factor that
often coMes up is wh~ doesn ' t the governMent tell us? You ' ve
got to understand soMething, we ' re dealing with the biggest
secret the world has ever known. That the s~steM was set up so
thorough!~ that access to this Material was buried so deep within a
lab~rinth that ~ou siMPl~ don ' t walk in a rooM and get the
Material and walk out with it , We have hear d various Meth~ds with
which photographs can soMetiMes be viewed through a Metal tube wh i
ch is designed in such a wa~ that ~ou can ' t re-photograph
Material through the tube. DocuMents are Man~ ti"es treated in such
a fashion ~ou can ' t photocop~ theM, the~ will burn on the
Machine. Earl~ on I said wh~ get into arguMents with skeptical
people at UFO conferences? We had to accept the poss i blit~ of
failure. What interested Me was the caliber of the individual we
were initial!~ dealing with. I look at i t with the critical e~e of
a TV news stor~ . I e v entual!~ want to go on the air with the
stor~ . How can I go on the air with this stor~? Obviousl~ we need
the evidence. Parts of crafts, still photographs, e xtensive
footage, and the possibilit~ that one of those little bugger s
lives here and is under a controlled facilit~.

The Mutilations included genitals taken, rectuMs cored out to the
colon, e~es, tongue and throat all surgicall~ reMoved with extreMe
prec1s1on. In soMe cases the incisions were Made b~ cutting between
the cells, a process we are . not ~et capable of perfor.Ming in the
field. In Man~ of the Mutilations there was no blood found at all
in the carcass, ~et there was no vascular collapse of the internal
organs. This has been also noted in the huMan MUtilations, one Of
the first ones of which was Sgt. Jonathon P. Louette at the White
Sands Missle Test . Range in 1956 who was found three da~s after an
Air Force MaJor had witnessed his abduction b~ a .,.disk shaped"
