4th UFO Crash Retrieval Conference Fast Approaching

If compelling UFO data, science and analysis is your interest then this years conference is a must attend event. Our speaker list is strong, long and very interesting. The 4th Annual UFO Crash Retrieval Conference is the world’s only public event dedicated exclusively to compelling evidence, analysis and implications of crash retrievals. The conference starts Friday evening at 6:00 PM, November 10th through Sunday afternoon, November 12th at the Tuscany Suites Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, just minutes from the airport and downtown. Details are available on www.ufoconference.com . Below is our speaker line-up.

UFOs and National Security State Volume II 1973-2006

By Richard Dolan. Mr. Dolan will be presenting his new book, which will be introduced at the conference, with particular emphasis on crash retrievals. His first book, UFOs and the National Security State , is a literary landmark in ufology and has sold over ten thousand copies. Many new insights will be disclosed for the first time.

Scenarios of Contact: Imagining Societal Reaction to Confirmed Arrivalof Non-Human Intelligence

By Michael Lindemann - In 1998 and 1999, two invitation-only weekend seminars were convened to discuss in a systematic way the possible societal implications of confirmed, face-to-face contact between human beings and intelligent non-human entities. Among the 26 participants were several professional futurists, college professors, high-level business executives, a Hollywood film figure, journalists, a serving three-star general officer, and several UFO researchers. See his book UFO’s and the Alien Presence .

The UFO WHY? Questions

By Stanton Friedman - Mr. Friedman has lectured extensively, yet the most common questions are the WHY? questions. Why would saucers crash? Why would aliens visit Earth? Why doesn’t the government tell us what it knows? Why would aliens not land on the White House lawn or at the United Nations? Etc. His presentation will answer these and many more why questions.See his book Top Secret/Majic: Operation Majestic-12 and the United States Government’s UFO Cover-up .

Alien Viruses & Leaked Documents
By Dr. Bob Wood & Nick Redfern - Mr. Redfern & Dr. Wood’s present their forthcoming and groundbreaking book, In Search of the Alien Viruses: Crashed UFOs, MJ12, and Bio-warfare, the book details Wood’s astonishing and never-before-seen body of data on this controversial issue, discussing crashed UFO cases he has personally investigated that specifically link UFO retrievals with biological warfare issues.

Updates On U.S. Government Conflict with “Peculiar Aerial Phenomenon”and Alleged Disc Crash and Burial in Utah Desert

By Linda Moulton Howe“ Her presentation will provide videotape recent firsthand American military testimonies, such as Navy Chief Yeoman Tom Sheppard and others about Majestic-12, extraterrestrial biological entities and UFO Crash Retrievals. Included will be drawings, photographs and audio excerpts.

The Lummi Island Incident:  A Watery Roswell?

By Matthew E. Thuney - According to massive eyewitness testimony and official U.S. Coast Guard reports, an unidentified object splashed down out of a clear summer night sky into northwest Washington Puget Sound on July 27, 1984.

A New US UFO Crash Retrieval

By Ryan S. Wood - This UFO crash incident holds the promise to be the breakthrough event for ufology. This crash was not discussed in his new book Majic Eyes Only (www.majiceyesonly.com) but, has all the classic elements of UFO crash retrieval and at this writing has the potential for compelling physical evidence.

The Biography of T. Townsend Brown:  Antigravity and UFO Linkages

By Paul Schatzkin – In a 2006 Crash Conference exclusive, author Paul Schatzkin will make his first public presentation of the material he has compiled after nearly four years of concentrated research for his forthcoming biography Defying Gravity: The Parallel Universe of T. Townsend Brown. Schatzkin will attempt to unravel some of the riddles embodied in the life of a man who demonstrated flying saucers  for the military in the early 1950s and whose contribution to the field of UFO studies dates back to his role as the true founder of NICAP in 1956.

El Indio Guerrero, Dec 6, 1950 UFO Crash Retrieval

By Dr. Bruce Maccabee. For an hour the United States military was under a condition of national emergency during the morning of December 6, 1950 at precisely the same time as White House phone records show a dramatic increase in switchboard traffic. Furthermore, the Eisenhower Briefing Document, a Majestic-12 briefing states that an object impacted the earth in the Texas – Mexican border area.”  This talk will further explore the testimony and connection to Colonel Willingham along with his visit to the alleged crash site, where he  retrieved crash debris.

The Covert World of UFO Crash Retrievals – An Overview of Black Operations

By Dr. Michael Salla - Using the testimony of key military whistleblowers and the Special Operations Manual, Dr. Salla will give an overview of the covert mechanisms and processes created to manage UFO Crash Retrievals.

The Braxton County Monster

By Frank Feschino - On the night of September 12, 1952, a shocked American public sought answers when strange unidentified objects were seen flying through the sky over Washington, DC and the eastern United States. One of the strange objects crash-landed on a rural hilltop in Flatwoods, West Virginia. This being became known as “The Flatwoods Monster, or The Braxton County Monster.

A TV Journalists Perspective of Ufology

By George Knapp - The banquet Keynote speech will cover Mr. Knapp’s first hand experiences at the National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS) along with interviews of significant witnesses of ufology along with some of the most controversial witnesses, such as, Robert Lazar and Dr. Dan Burish. The talk won’t only be about the UFO field, but will include engaging stories and related anecdotes to the TV news process.

After the Fire: How the Government Responds to Top Secret Crashes

By Peter Merlin - Aerospace archeologist Peter Merlin has researched crashes of numerous exotic and experimental aircraft, especially those tested at Edwards Air Force Base, California, and the Groom Lake (Area 51) facility in Nevada. Many of these accidents involved vehicles an weapon systems that were classified SECRET or even TOP SECRET at the time of their loss. Merlin offers three case studies involving crash retrievals of unacknowledged “black” aircraft from Area 51 and Tonopah Test Range.

SAUFOR XPLoReS 20060520 Port Shepstone Incident

The 1st report that hit the media from the South African Press Association (SAPA):

RESCUE-MYSTERY

JOHANNESBURG May 20 SAPA

UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT “CRASHES” INTO SEA

Port Shepstone rescuers are monitoring a mysterious situation in which “numerous” eye-witnesses reported an unidentified object crashing into the sea, the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI)said on Saturday. Eddie Noyons, NSRI Shelley Beach Station Commander, said eye-witnesses reported that an unidentified object, possibly an aircraft, had crashed into the sea behind the breaker line off-shore of the Port Shepstone High School. Police, rescue craft and a fixed wing aircraft were alerted to the scene to investigate. “Following a full-scale search of the area covering 12 square nautical miles nothing has been found. “There are no reports of activity in the area that may be related to this incident and there are no aircraft reported to be overdue or missing,” said Noyons. He said numerous eye-witnesses — including teachers and pupils attending a sports event at the highschool, and other by-standers including local fishermen — were convinced they had seen an aircraft go into the water, including seeing smoke and water exploding. Interviews with the witnesses revealed that some also reported seeing flames. “Some reported seeing something, an unidentified object, splash into the sea causing a ripple effect of waves, ” Noyons said. Due to the number of eye-witnesses with similar reports, it was presumed that weather activity in the area at the time might have given the impression of something falling into the sea. ” We will continue to monitor the situation which remains a mystery,” he said.

And then came the 1st News24.com article:

UFO ‘crashes’ into KZN sea 20/05/2006 22:12 - (SA)
Port Shepstone - The National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) is monitoring a mysterious situation on the KZN south coast. “Numerous” eye-witnesses reported an unidentified flying object crashing into the sea on Saturday. NSRI Shelley Beach station commander, Eddie Noyons, said eye-witnesses had reported an unidentified object - possibly an aircraft - crashing into the sea behind the breaker line off-shore of the Port Shepstone High School. Police, rescue craft and a fixed wing aircraft were alerted to the scene to investigate. Noyons said: “Following a full-scale search of the area covering 12 square nautical miles nothing has been found. “There are no reports of activity in the area that may be related to this incident and there are no aircraft reported overdue or missing.” He said numerous eye-witnesses - including teachers and pupils attending a sports event at the high school, by-standers and local fishermen - were convinced they had seen an aircraft go into the water. They said they saw smoke and described “water exploding”. Some also reported seeing flames. Noyons said: “Some reported seeing something, an unidentified object, splash into the sea causing a ripple effect of waves.” Noyons said it was being presumed that weather activity in the area at the time might have given the impression of something falling into the sea. “We will continue to monitor the situation, which remains a mystery,” he said.

The 1st follow-up article on News24.com:

No sign of ‘UFO’ - NSRI 21/05/2006 22:40 - (SA)
Port Shepstone - There is no sign of an apparent “UFO” that was reported to have crashed into the sea off Port Shepstone on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast. National Sea Rescue Institute spokesperson Craig Lambinon says nothing has been found yet, despite an extensive search over an area covering 12 square nautical miles. The mysterious object that “crashed” into the sea behind the breaker-line off-shore of Port Shepstone High School about 12:20 on Saturday, has raised a frenzy of interest worldwide. The number of readers who have clicked on the report carried by News24 reached more than 30 000 by 18:00 on Sunday afternoon. Lambinon said on Sunday evening: “Witnesses said they thought they saw an unidentified object, possibly an aircraft, crash into the sea, but absolutely nothing has been found. “Police and the NSRI offices in Shelley Beach and Port Edward responded to the call that something had crashed into the sea. Some even saw flames. “Margate air traffic control also searched the area with a fixed-wing aircraft. Numerous witnesses, including pupils and teachers at a school sports event, and fishermen were convinced they saw an aircraft go into the water. “They saw smoke and water exploding. Some even saw flames. “Some reported seeing an unidentified object splash into the sea causing a ripple of waves,” said Lambinon. “A reliable source, who was on a hill overlooking the sea about 2km away, said he saw something crash into the sea. “The object trailed smoke behind it, and even after it had crashed the column of smoke hung in the air for several minutes. “It caused a big splash when it hit the water and bobbed up and down,” said Lambinon, quoting one of the witnesses. ‘It might have been the weather…’ “There are no reports of activity in the area that may be related to this incident and there are no aircraft reported to be overdue or missing. “The number of witness reports leads us to presume that weather activity in the area at the time may have given the impression of something falling into the sea. “We will continue to monitor the situation, which remains a mystery,” said Lambinon, adding: “If there ever was something…”.

And then came the official NSRI (National Sea Rescue Institute) Media Release on 21 May 2006:

2006 World UFO Day - 2nd annual ‘Unbind Your Mind’ conference, Cape Town

Dear SAUFOR friend!

It is that time of the year again where World UFO Day (2 July) is creeping closer. The idea for the celebration of this day was conceived by Turkish UFO researcher Haktan Akdogan and chose this specific date because it is the traditional anniversary of the Roswell incident where a spacecraft & occupants crashed in New Mexico, USA in 1947 quite near the 509th Bomber group stationed at Roswell Army Air Force Base who were later to drop the atomic bombs in Japan.. This was also the very 1st public indication that our governments and military were actively lying to the public..

We celebrate this day because the public needs to know that UFOs are an integral part of our reality, whether they are top secret military projects, misidentified natural phenomena, extraterrestrially piloted craft, inter-dimensional or time travellers, or an as yet unknown phenomenon.

With the recent UFO craze that hit the town of Port Shepstone (20 May 2006) and how fast the story spread worldwide, we can clearly see the level of active interest from the public. More and more people are opening up to the possibility of UFO reality.

Why is this important to us in our daily lives? For one thing, we know that there exists a level of public mind control by unscrupulous groups who have near-unlimited financial and other resources and that these few use this power for controlling the many. We are the many. The only reason why they can still get away with this is because they bank on our ignorance of them, their plans and modus operandi.. It is time that the people of this world stand together and take our individual control over ourselves back and aim to reach our true potential.. This cannot be done with oppression still in place and the oppression cannot work when it is out in plain view in stead of working its menace from behind the scenes as is currently the case..

Another point that the public should understand is that advanced technologies have been recovered from UFOs and have been in use by the elite to further the gap between the few and the many.. A direct effect when certain of these technologies are allowed to be made public is that most of the elements of our world economy which are dependant on the oil industry, will fail to exist.. this most probably will shatter world economy, and as is clearly understood by all of us who know that money is essential (at this stage of our civilisation’s developement), this would be disastrous on an unprecedented scale.. However, there are alternatives..

Here in Cape Town, we have been hit by electricity shortages and the public has realized how dependent we are on this when it is no longer there.. This is totally unnecessary as alternative ways of generating electricity exists, but (and again this is tied in to the oil-cabals) the few do not want the many to know that free universal energy exists all around us at this very moment and that the technology exists to tap this energy..

The only way we can gain access to these very necessary technologies is to stop accepting our leaders lies and demand that complete transparency of the spending of the tax-Rands be implemented.. We do NOT need to spend billions of Rands on a Defense Budget while people are dying of hunger, the unemployment figure is so high, healing & preventative medical care is needed, our educational system is in such a state, their is corruption at the highest levels of government, our environment is suffering more and more each day (what planet will our children inherit?) etc, etc.. And oh, we are not at war!

If you want to know more of what is really going on in the world around us and think that knowing more about UFOs and related issues can be gateways to higher dimensions of human knowledge, feel free to come and support us at our “Unbind Your Mind” World UFO Day conference on 1 July 2006 in Cape Town, South Africa. There are still a few openings for guest speakers who wish to assist in removing the shackles of institutionalised thought.

Magic of Mantras

PAM SPEAKS…. The Magic of Mantras

The magic of mantras is one of the world’s most powerful natural forces. “Shellah” which is a universal sound to communicate with UFO aliens. You must however hold on to a tree branch with your left hand, while speaking to the space creatures; or you will lose consciousness. Mantras are sounds or combinations of sounds which are said to embody the divinity and contain the mystical ability to make things happen. Dr. C. Ralph Campo, Director of the University of Psychic Science, USA teaches this.

Animal Mutilations

High levels of heat that only advanced laser scalpels are capable of, caused the cuts, which seem to have been divided and seared along cell walls. No Blood left at all. Balls of light, unmarked helicopters, have been seen near by carcasses. There is mention going back as far as 1810 on the Scottish border, in 1874 Ireland, 30 sheep in one night. 1906 Windsor castle, UK, 51 sheep in one night. In 1897 USA, 1920 Canada, 1890 UK, 1920 Sweden 70 horses in one night, all called ‘Window Areas’. Seem to return to the same place more often than not, could be doorways where other dimensions or times intersect our own? Are we food for the moon?

UFO FactFile: Did you know that the Mexican Air Force recently released infrared video footage to the media, taken by experienced pilots? According to the UFO journalist Jaime Mausan, who has been tracking the UFO phenomenon more than 25 years, ‘It is one of the most important film documents we have been able to access.’

Time to honour the Mysterious

by Christo Louw

…in the beginning when stars were stars, and we were living in caves in a kind of survival mode, we would sometimes look up at the stars and see how beautiful it all was, and we would try to understand our place in all of this. We would look at everything around us and see things that we could relate to and sometimes, just sometimes, we would notice a certain movement or event that was simply mysterious, something we couldn’t wrap our young minds around. Now, if we were alone as a witness to such a mysterious event or movement, we would be faced with a choice, a choice that involves how we process this new information. We could ignore that it ever happened, which is but one way of dealing with this or we could choose to find out more, before we feel comfortable with the knowledge that there is nothing more to it. And by choosing to find out more, we have to investigate and you’ll start telling others you meet about the experience. How the event is valued by me as the experiencer depends largely on how others react and the help or opinions they offer. Secondly, it is how I choose others’ help and opinions to influence my value to the experience. So it seems today that somewhere along the time-line of history, we’ve learnt to not tell our stories of discovery to just anyone, but when approaching the ones with the proper attitude, we will benefit the most from our own experiences. Personally, I think it is about time we again honour the mysterious!!!

Is intelligent life out there?

Jeanne van der Merwe investigates

It’s a Saturday afternoon and a group of people is gathered in the foyer of Cape Town’s Baxter Theatre. They look like members of a neighbourhood watch.

But the game is given away when I stroll past and catch snippets of their conversation.

“Why don’t they just land in front of the White House? Why are they only ever seen in deserts?” asks one middle-aged man.

His buddy shrugs, and offers: “Some of them prefer not to interfere. Some species have non-interference policies.”

Hmmm. What have we here?

It’s the monthly meeting of the South African UFO Forum - they call themselves Saufor - taking place under the saucer-shaped lampshades of the theatre.

I walked past them twice without realising I had found them - so ordinary did these hunters of alien life seem.

Alien watchers are rather like some of the extraterrestrials Hollywood action men Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith watch over in Men In Black - completely indiscernible from the rest of us.

Present at this get-together are, among others, a grey-haired granddad, a Muslim father of two who has brought his wife and kids along, a shy, skinny man with tattoos and a motorcycle helmet, and a Japanese visitor in a weatherbeaten T-shirt.

Saufor is bravely gearing up to find out everything there is to know about UFOs in South Africa. It’s led by soft-spoken Cristo Louw, a 28-year-old who looks like a fitness trainer and who gave up a career as a technical support operator to hunt down information on beings “out there”.

“I’ve never had any experiences myself, but I’ve been interested in them since I was a child, and I’m really looking forward to meeting some myself,” he says.

What started as a hobby, however, has proven a boon for other South African believers, who have long ago given up talking to friends and loved ones about the things they see in the night skies, and the strange memory lapses and dreams of little people with big eyes they’ve had.

Believers such as Fareed Hoosen, who mans the forum’s “call centre” (his personal cellphone) and who has had strange experiences with unearthly beings since he was seven years old.

“It’s just great to be able to get together and talk about these things,” he says.

The only thing the odd assortment of UFO-watchers have in common is Louw’s website - started while he was working for Vodacom about five years ago - which recounts UFO sightings and strange encounters in South Africa.

As far as the forum can tell, the earliest reported UFO sighting happened in 1838, when a Cape Town newspaper reported that glowing fireballs were crisscrossing the Cape skies.

At their meetings, they also ponder other famous UFO sightings, such as the Rosmead incident in the Eastern Cape in 1972, where a primary school principal saw a strange flying thing that left molten holes in a locked tennis court and scorched surrounding trees.

And another sighting in Fort Beaufort in the same year when a farmer had his reservoir shattered by what some believe was a UFO.

Or the time in 1974 at Beit Bridge when a car inexplicably left the road and hovered above the earth while the occupants lost all sense of time.

In Groendal near Uitenhage in 1978 a group of teens on a camping trip apparently saw beings in silver suits gliding up a hillside.

An overseas guest makes an appearance at the Saufor meeting - Masahiro Kahata, a Japanese researcher investigating, among other things, the effect crop circles have on people’s brain waves and how one can control a craft telepathically.

However, his enthusiastic explanations in a nigh-incomprehensible Japanese accent make way for a more practical question, and one that no doubt consumes believers everywhere - how to get people to take them seriously.

Louw himself admits that “we cannot make people believe who don’t want to believe”.

In hope, they turn to the memories of people like Elizabeth Klarer, a South African woman who claimed she was impregnated by a man from the constellation of Alpha Centauri named Akon and go t a book published about it.

Louw is keen to use the Promotion of Access to Information Act to get information on some of the stranger UFO incidents, such as an alleged sighting in 1996 when a military helicopter chased after a UFO.

“We could get hold of the video of that,” he tells his audience hopefully.

Free lance investigator, NightStalker shares his research into UFO sightings in South Africa

The NightStalker’s Report on 11 August 2003

The following is a list of incidents that I have come across while researching South African UFO Experiences and discussing SAUFOR with others during my travels. The people are real, the incidents are real, and while the individuals concerned are not all that keen on having their personal details splashed all over the internet in this context.

A few South African Incidents.

The stone in the sky.

Two brothers and some friends were lying on the lawn of their home in Pretoria after having played a bit of ball in the back yard. As they were lying on their backs looking at the sky, what looked like a huge rock flew overhead on a straight line trajectory. As it approached, it flew directly overhead and they saw that it was in fact not a rock, but a craft. The brown color was in fact due to rust streaks on the outer hull. It continued overhead and then passed on over the horizon. It was not aerodynamically shaped nor did it have any wings nor did it conform to any known form of craft. I have known these guys for a number of years now and I would personally vouch for their credibility. I would have taken the word of any one of them, but there were a number of eyewitnesses to this event which makes it even more credible. I have asked them if they would be willing to be interviewed and have said yes.

Long and cylindrical with portholes

I have a very good friend who used to live in Cape Town. He now works in Jo’burg. He was witness to a long cylindrical object that floated slowly overhead. Not recognizing it as any known type of aircraft, he climbed up onto the roof of his house to watch the UFO. He attracted the attention of his neighbor. Two of the neighbors kids in turn called their friends from across the road. The UFO was witnessed by around 20 people. There are photographs of this object, for which there is yet to be an explanation.

May 2001. Hartbeespoortdam.

In May 2001, at the time of the planetary alignment, a UFO was spotted over Hartbeespoortdam. There was an article on it in the local newspaper. A so called expert dismissed it as an optical illusion caused by the planetary alignment at that time. Funny thing is, there were several independent witnesses, and this incident took place at around 4 in the afternoon. There is no known way that the light of any planet could be visible in broad daylight, let alone move across the sky. (It has been known for Venus to be visible in the sky during daylight hours but that is only under very specific conditions.) During the planetary alignment however, if the sun and the planets were in a straight line, none of the inner planets would be visible in the direct glare of the sun.

I too, have on three occasions seen this phenomena, here where I live at Hartbeespoortdam.

Once I was alone. I watched it, it was unusual, and moving slowly away, I got in my car and headed off down the road after it. But it out accelerated my vehicle, and disappeared into the mountains at a low altitude.

Once, Around 01h00, I heard the dogs barking and went outside to see what the commotion was all about. I saw this craft (ball of light) motionless in the air above the Pelindaba nuclear research facility. I watched it for about ten minutes then went inside and woke up my mom, and asked her to come outside and verify. She commented that it was brighter than the house on the hill - On the farm next door (about a 0.5 KM away). After a while, we went back inside to make some coffee, when we came back out again … it was gone. It was there for about an hour.

The most recent sighting by myself was about three months ago. Some friends and I were stargazing. They have a telescope and some evenings we sit on the verandah and have dinner while we point the telescope at different planets and stars for their kids (and us) to look at. This particular evening, there were 5 adults (myself included) and three children (8-14) on the verandah having dinner. It was late dusk, and not yet pitch black. We were all looking at the sky, searching for a new target for the telescope, when to the north, we saw what we thought was a shooting star. It was however really bright. and it burned for about 20 seconds, then went off. Twenty seconds later it went back on again, and then twenty seconds later off again. This continued for about 10 - 12 on - off cycles, as the light descended vertically through the atmosphere and disappeared behind some mountains about 10 Km to the north of us. We were all equally awestruck, and had no explanation as to what it could possibly be. From my own personal perspective, It would be entirely consistent with a craft firing a retro rocket to slow its descent through the atmosphere.

There is nothing else that I could think of that would follow that kind of a trajectory or illumination pattern.

Pretoria.

A while back, I had a meeting with a very interesting individual. He has asked me not to advertise his name in conjunction with this story but has said that he would be quite happy to give a personal account to any serious researcher.

In about the mid eighties he was traveling through the Karoo when he noticed an unusual craft in the distance off to the side of the road. He stopped and watched it disappear over the eastern horizon. It was one of those … ‘yes-kool-but-who-would-believe-me-stories’

A few years went by and he overheard the discussion of a truck driver mentioning something similar. The truck driver gave a more exact location where he had seen a craft emerge from between two koppies. The Driver had approached a T intersection where he had stopped to check for approaching traffic. Directly ahead he had seen the craft emerge from between two hills and hover over the veldt about a kilometer in front of him. There were no other vehicles, so the driver pulled away and turned left towards Beaufort West. The craft started moving, keeping pace with the truck but following an intersecting vector. The driver continued along the road until the craft was about 100 meters away. The driver then decided to stop and take a better look at the craft. He also felt that if they both continued on their current paths, the two would eventually meet.

The craft approached to within about 50 meters, it illuminated the truck with an intense light , circled it and streaked away vertically into the night sky. The truck driver could not relate the craft to any known form of aircraft.

This friend of mine then decided to investigate the incident for himself. He took his video camera, got in his bakkie and headed of for the Karoo.

He spent two weeks camping out at the place described by the trucker. I watched the video tape. He hiked through the koppies and hills and took panoramic shots of the area. It is about the most inhospitable desert mountain terrain that I have ever seen. There is but nothing there. No farm houses or settlements. Just gorges and cliffs and very very rocky terrain. (From my own personal point of view … I have seen many types of terrain, but this was very extreme, in the harshness of the terrain.)

He found a dirt track which led up into the mountains. He hiked back to his bakkie and the next day he followed this track to see where it went. There were no signs and no gates. Eventually the track stopped between the mountains. There was no destination, nothing there. The track just stopped. He decided to camp there that night.

It was after dusk when he saw the craft. He picked up his camera and started filming. The craft approached. In the video footage you see the approaching light. It is dark, and basically you are looking at a light in the night sky. It is a shaky image. One could dismiss it as maybe footage of an oncoming cars headlights. Then, it did something I have never seen before. The light divided, three other lights detached from it, and streaked away into the distance. And, I cannot relate to any flying craft that has ever done that.

He says that at that point, he started getting a bit worried, so he stopped filming and ran back to his pickup. He started it and headed back down the track. The craft pursued him, keeping track with him. He tried to tape it. The video tape becomes a bit chaotic at this point. There is the sound of the pickup racing down a dirt road, you can hear the motor and the clatter of stones and occasional flashes of light. He says he left the camera running on the seat next to him, but he was scared out of his wits and was more interested in getting the hell out of there and not driving of the edge of a mountain than in taking footage of what it was that was chasing him.

Like I said, I watched the tape with him several times, and I tried to decide for myself if this was a hoax or not. He was in the area as described. The road does exist, there were unusual lights in the sky around him, and he did drive down that road with a speed. He is adamant that it did happen. I sat in his home, his wife and kids were there. And, the way he tells it, with his wife sitting there, I had a tendency to believe him.

I listened to his story. I asked him who he thought they were. He said that they were an alien race that occupied subterranean bases around the planet.

It was the only logical conclusion he could make. He had hiked that area for two weeks and there was definately nothing on the surface. That craft that split up and chased him down the mountain had to come from somewhere … The only logical conclusion was that it had to be from an underground base.

He showed me piles of material that he had researched on beings that could possibly fit that description. What they looked like … he could only guess from the reports of others. He had seen enough to definitively satisfy his own personal curiosity for once and for all. He felt that he had been warned off, and he was not going back there again … ever.

And here’s the rub, from the way he narated his experiences … I wasn’t so sure if I wanted to go and check out that road in the mountain at night … at least not alone anyway.

These are stories of a personal nature, and I can guarantee you that, from my own perspective, they are absolutely truthful. As far as my friends are concerned, I can vouch for them, but you are most welcome to come and chat to them yourself and make up your own mind, and all have assured me that their accounts (myself included) will stand up to a polygraph.

I am going to re-interview the above individuals and add more details as time goes by. I think, that from a consistency point of view, I will re interview these people after a year. If they are bona fide then the story shouldn’t change over the course of a year.

Cheers for now

Keep looking at the sky

Following is another report from our friend about interesting research relating 2 the planet Mars, that we have been delving in2 over the last 2 years or so… see the website that i had 2 put up anonimously due 2 the “sensitivity” of the info —> http://www.geocities.com/anomaly502/

Here a follow up on the Mars Pix

The Mystery of Anomaly 502.

by NightStalker.

Greetings fellow surfers. Allow me to introduce myself. I am the NightStalker. I am a surfer, programmer, self confessd hacker (white hat of course) and I like to explore. I am also a free lance investigator for SAUFOR and like to research unusual things. And for now, that is all you are going to know about me.

Rather, let me get on with the subject of this article.

It was about two years ago that an aquaintance of mine and I were chatting online. It was in the context of trying to resolve whether or not we are alone in the universe. Could we definitively resolve the question? We chatted about this and that and then the discussion turned to the red plane, Mars! What was the buzz on the face of Mars, what about the pyramid. Were they natural or were they created by some artificial entity.

Well, as we chatted online, he made a fantastic claim. There was not just the face, there was other far more compelling evidence of another civilisation that had been on Mars. Whether it was a Martian species or an outpost of some other entity that had visited Mars could not be determined at that time but, there was evidence of something that had not been created by nature. There was a structure of a complexity that could not possibly be created by natural forces as we understand them.

Not only was there this group of structures, but there was detailed photographic evidence of its existence. Yeah, right. Send it to me, and I’ll take a look for myself. So, he did just that. The sequence of images showed pix of something that was not created by mother nature, cos she don’t work in straight lines..

I forwarded these images to my friend CRiSTo who runs SAUFOR and asked him to post the images on his site. I also asked him to ask around and see if he could pick up any info on this entity that had been named ANOMALY 502.

CRiSTo, myself and others carried out extensive web searches to see if we could find any reference to this entity and, apart from some dead ends ending up in some obscure URL’s, there was nothing. I have looked at those images from time to time and have wondered what to make of them.

It is some two years that have passed and then, last month, I was chatting to a friend and the subject once again turned to the issue of life on Mars. Once again I looked over the images, and once again, I set off in search of an answer. If it did exist in cyberspace, then, I would find it.

And, lo and behold, this time, I found something very curious. So, for you conspiracy buffs, here is something that I am going to propose, not as truth, not as fact, but as a conspiracy with a number of very interesting aspects.

Have a read, and when you are finished, you decide for yourself.

In about May 2001, a sequence of images surfaced depicting a structure on the surface of Mars. Exact location undisclosed. The images were marked with certain text, depicting the sequence and date. It also referred to an entity called IEC and a date marker in the doccument/project reference refering to the year 1998.

Logicaly this would date the images as circa 1998. Well logic says that if a sattelite took a photo of an anomaly on Mars in 1998, well then it stands to reason that it must have been launched in about 1997. I didn’t expect to find anything, but to my total suprise, I discovered that there was a ‘qualification’ launch of an Arianne rocket designated as — wait for it — A 502.

In fact A 502 was launched in July 1997. And, as I researched the A 502 launch, more and more curious aspects surrounding this launch vehicle came to light. Allow me to tell you about them.

The launch payload was put together by ESTEC, an Informatics division of ESA. Could the ESTEC project have been designated as IEC ?

It was put together in a record time of just seven months, under great pressure.

The A 502 launch vehicle carried three payloads. One was the ESTEC project, MAQSAT and one was a dummy.

No charges were levied for the launch.

Now, I like to read between the lines, and some may accuse me of reading too much between the lines but, if this is just a simple little student launch being sponsored by some benevolent ‘big brother’, for an experimental earth orbit sattelite; Why then does the front page of the official website of this mission feature a picture of Earth and Mars? Check it out for yourself at http://www.estec.esa.nl/teamsat/

So, a launcher, put together in record time, with no charge to anyone, with a whole lot of parts donated by other agencies, that uses technicians and scientists called back out of retirement, with the ability to achieve escape velocity, is launched in October of 1997 on a launcher designated as A 502. It is carrying an impressive array of imaging systems, ia. Autonomous Vision System (AVS) , Visual Telemetry System (VTS), and Flux Probe Experiment (FIPEX) - And while FIPEX may be used to measure the density of hydrogen atoms in outer space - YEAH RIGHT! - in my understanding, Flux sensors are primarily used to sense Energy field strengths, And, as I said before, the official website features a pix of Earth, the ‘Sattelite’ and Mars.

And - oh yes of course - a payload designated as a ‘dummy’ unit. Why launch a dummy sattelite when there are so many fledgeling agencies who would love to put a live payload on an experimental launch.

Then, A year later, an impressive sequence of images comes back. Pictures of structure on the surface of Mars, with a group of structures that must have been created by some kind of intelligence. A sequence of images designated as Anomaly 502 - Is it too great a leap of imagination to think that the designation 502 refers to the launcher, and not to the posibility that there are 501 other anomalies on Mars.

(Must admit the 502 had me going for a while, I was trying to figure out the significance of the 502, because it was definately relevant.)

Three years later these images ‘leak’ out. As I said before, we searched the net extensively two years ago when these images came our way for any combination of MARS ANOMALY 502 IEC etc, etc, etc and we found nothing - nada - zilch! Now, years later, little hints are starting to leak out here and there. You, go ahead, start doing your own web search - and see what you come up with.

So, boys and girls, let me lay it out for you in plain english.

Do you remember about five years ago when everyone was all in wonder at the discovery of the face on the surface of Mars. Well, they found more, much more and A502 was a rush mission to Mars to get a better set of images using every possible type of immaging system possible.

Methinks that dummy, whose actual owners paid for the launch, went straight on to Mars, took a whole lot of enhanced images of an entity designated Anomaly 502, sent them back home, then landed there - then took some more images - and sent them home too. Why do I say that ? Because my friends, I was told so by my aquaintance, and he sent me some pix to prove it.

Ever heard of plausable deniability? Acording to the public stuff, every significant space agency contributed to this baby in one way or another, Nasa - Nothing. The most important aspect of the mision, The Visual Telemetry System, was supplied by the Brits. So, how come the Brittish (who have never launched a rocket of their own) contribute the key component of the mission. Wonder who told them how to put it together ? Nasa ? No never.

Now, I am not going to claim this as fact, it is just a theory, but, you sit up and look around and decide for yourself how much substance there is in this little conspiracy theory of mine. You go and read all about the A 502 mission, and look at the facts in the context that I have outlined above.

Cheers for now

Your friend

Personal sighting report from Marie van Staden, 1975 Johannesburg area

Marie & husband Kallie van Staden saw something in 1975 that they could not understand & will never forget. The exact date has been lost in the mists of time, but it was near the end of the year, around October or November. Here follows their story in Marie’s words as translated from Afrikaans by CRiSTo LouW:

What we saw, must have been seen by others as it was very very big. Nobody can tell us that one would miss it at a glance. I just don’t accept that. We travelled a distance of 10-12 kms & could see it all the way.

It was half past eight in the evening & we were on our way back home, coming from my mother in Boksburg travelling towards Kempton Park in the East Rand. It happenend about 2kms just after where Pick n Pay in Boksnurg is today, where I started noticing all the approaching air traffic from the then Jan Smuts airport (today called the Johannesburg International). While i was watching the airplanes moving from left to right, i noticed this red light that was also on the left & thought that it might be a copter, although there was no usual flickering.

I was still watching this red light when Kallie mentioned that he was observing the same red light for some time & that it stayed just where it was & i agreed that it was strange. As we approached Kempton, the light grew in size, but when we arrived in Kempton, we were surprised to see that it was 2 lights! I was stunned to see the big size of them when we were at the trainstation. I told him to stop the car & because we were in the main road, we made a turn down a side street & got out.

Well, i have never seen such huge lights & all this while the airplanes were flying over them, but they just hung there, did not move or change color or shape.

They were equal in size & exactly the same shape, oval & very very close to each other. They could not have been very high, because the airplanes were coming in to land as the runway’s start was very close & it was a busy night for the air traffic. We could not hear any sound when there was an airplane. There was no beam of light or any other smaller lights or something like that & no body could be discerned. Maybe the whole thing was the body that we were looking at or maybe navigation lights that usually warn air traffic, although these kind of navigation lights are usually placed strategically.

How big were they? Well, without exaggeration, bigger than any airplane that was flying above or next to them & that my friend, was the strange thing! Okay, they were a bit lower than the airplanes, but still damn huge for something that could be considered as normal. What could it have been then? If it was some kind of pleasure thing, surely it would have been well lit? Even a hot-air balloon is clear at night & for something that low, any idiot would have known if it was a balloon. There was no reflection around it & why so long in one spot?

We were standing there next to the car for 50 minutes while looking up & then we went to the flat down the same road, 4 blocks down. On arrival, i went to the roof. It was a big building in those days, called Kempton City & 4 stories.

From the roof it appeared slightly flatter that clearly meant they were not very high. I could still not make out any body or other associated lights. It was a dark night with no moon, which also made it difficult.

The colour of the red was the same as a traffic light, but a bit brighter, no emenating light of any kind. The whole oval was red.

I saw them until 12 o’clock that night. They must have disappeared just after 12, becuase i could also see them through the lounge’s windows when i was moving to & fro from the roof. We lived on the 4th floor.

If it was a hot-air balloon, i surely would have noticed it from the roof which was definately the better vantage point, when i stopped seeing it thru the lounge window.

I discussed this with someone at my work who thought that it might have been a single object with 2 lights. But, oh my, i will probably never know what it was. I could have kicked myself that i was not watching when it moved or however it disappeared. kick-kick! I was furious at myself.

This is still haunting me after all the years. I so badly want to know if someone else also saw it.

As long as someone does not try to say that it was an airplane. 37 years i stayed in Boksburg & Kempton. They flew right over our house in Boksburg. The runway was so close to the house, when they came over the house, you see every detail & we always waved! It was so low, i am certain that if i were to climb to the house’s rooftop, i could have touched the wheels. Remember, i was in that house until my 32nd year. Helicopter!? No way. I flew often before i got married, even in helicopters! Fighter plane? Again, no warning lights! And +- 12 hours in the same position? Never! No way.
