FIRST TEXAS U FIND OUT FORUM SET FOR OCT. 25

FORT WORTH, TX – Responding to increasing serious interest by the public concerning the issue of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO), the Texas Research & Information Bureau (TRIB) has scheduled a forum on the subject featuring four area authorities.

The First Annual Texas U Find Out Forum will be held on October 25, 2008, at Vance Godbey’s Restaurant located at 8601 Jacksboro Highway just past Lake Worth. Doors will open at 9:30 a.m. and the program will begin at 10 a.m. and last until 4 p.m. A catered buffet lunch, a panel discussion and book signings are included. Cost is $65 per person but persons who pre-register by Oct. 10 can pay only $55. Orders may be placed by telephoning 817-379-0773.

Leading off the day-long presentations will be Jim Marrs, author of the 1997 book Alien Agenda, the top-selling non-fiction investigative work on UFOs in the world. Marrs will present an overview of the subject ranging from Ancient Astronauts to the latest research into the 1897 crash at Aurora, TX, just 20 miles north of Fort Worth.

“This will be an excellent opportunity for folks who once had only a passing interest in this subject to learn of the historical narratives and documentation of some of the best UFO incidents,” Marrs said. “It is time for the public to start dealing with this reality.”

British-born author Nick Redfern, who has extensively researched government documents regarding the UFO phenomenon, will report on what the U.S. Government really knows about UFOs. Redfern is the author of several UFO books, including A Covert Agenda: The British Government’s UFO Top Secrets Exposed, The FBI Files: The FBI’s UFO Top Secrets Exposed and Strange Secrets: Real Government Files on the Unknown.

The sightings near Stephenville earlier this year will be discussed by Kenneth Cherry, the Texas State Director of the Mutual UFO Network, the nation’s largest organization dedicated to investigating UFOs. Cherry directed a 10-person investigative team that looked into the reports of large lighted objects seen around Stephenville shortly after the first of the year. “We’ve eliminated a lot of the known possibilities regarding the Stephenville sightings,” Cherry said. “Early on in the investigation, we could see that something important was happening or we wouldn’t have devoted so many resources to this event.” His talk will include a discussion of recently-released radar data from the Stephenville sightings.

C. L. Turnage, an area freelance writer with an extensive background in history and ancient languages, has studied more than 300 translations of ancient Mesopotamian and Vedic Indian texts, the Hebrew/Greek scriptures, Egyptian writings, and extra-biblical books such as “Enoch the Prophet” as background material for her books. A member of the Ancient Astronaut Society, she has authored War in Heaven and Extraterrestrials Are on the Moon and Mars, using numerous NASA photographs to support her thesis. She will explain how the UFO phenomenon can be traced back to humankind’s earliest writings.

This First Texas U Find Out Forum is presented by the Texas Research & Information Bureau, a Texas non-profit organization begun in 2002 and dedicated to bringing information to the general public seldom covered in the mass media.

Energetic Effects on Consciousness: Invisible Pollution or Panacea?
Presented by James B. Beal, B.S. (M.E.)
Tuesday, September 23rd, 6:30 – 8:30 P.M.
Austin History Center, 810 Guadalupe, Austin, TX 78701

Potential causes, symptoms, therapies, cures, precautions, and recent research associated with hazardous EMF’s will be discussed.  The wide-ranging healing stimulation effects of EMF’s have been utilized in many other countries since 1849; why, then, have EMF studies been suppressed in the US since the 1920s?  Research documents and references on this topic will be available.

Need we be concerned about the biological effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF’s) from the proximity to power lines?  Should we be concerned about the new wireless technologies in and around near our homes, such as cell phones, wireless networks, cell towers, antennas, and portable home phones? Wireless networks in home, schools, offices, libraries and public places around the globe are starting to be dismantled due to cognitive, neurological and other symptoms adults and children are experiencing as a result of long tern use. See The BioInitiative Report  (www.bioinitiative.org).

A Point To Ponder:  All the good comes with some bad.  Think about it! We pay a price for everything in life.  And you pay a higher price if you don’t know what price you are paying.  In the power and communication areas, the corporations who are bringing you all the wireless and power novelties, claim to occupy the “high ground of new tech.”  They claim they are bringing us better “service.”

“They” are interested in supplying more power and more improved communication systems as rapidly as possible, for the benefit of mankind (and their pocketbooks).  If anybody says “Let’s go slow here, and look at long-term effects”, it looks like the imposition of a narrow judgment view on a society impatient to enjoy, immediately, the miracles of modern electronic technology.  The “quick, unthinking, habituated response” is “Shoot the messenger!”  Massive denial of any hazardous biological effects of EMF’s, even though known, as with controlled frequencies and intensities of many types, have been successfully used in healing therapies in other countries since 1849!  Pioneering electromagnetic researcher, Dr. Robert Becker, suggests there is both a “peril and a promise” to emerging electromagnetic technology.  Where does the truth lie?

What happens when biologically effective frequencies and intensities are “accidentally” in our environment long-term?   What do we know? What does the research prove, from other countries?  Are we aware or unaware of a pollution that is invisible?  Are these invisible energies affecting us? Are environmentally sensitive people being the “human canaries for the rest of us? Think about it!

About James Beal

James B. Beal, B.S. (M.E.), EMF Interface Consultant and retired NASA engineer, will present a 45-year overview of research findings about the healing aspects and the hazards of electromagnetic fields (EMF’s) and effects on health and consciousness. This will be about the EMF long-term biological effects on (as well as emitted by) living creatures (including humans ), when exposed to the strong artificial fields produced by our power and wireless technologies.

After 35 years work at Boeing, NASA, and Martin Marietta: External Tank Facility, New Orleans, Beal studied the effects of natural and artificial electromagnetic fields (EMF’s) on living systems. Beal shares a patent on electrostatic cooling, a form of weld for the Space Shuttle External Tank, with Michael Badinger, still of Louisiana.  Beal serves on Advisory Boards of The Monroe Institute, which studies hemi-sync energetic tapes and The Gladys T. McGarey  Wholistic Medical Foundation, and the INACS Board of Austin, Texas.  He assisted astronaut Edgar Mitchell in the formation of The Institute of Noetic Sciences (1972-73).  Chapters on consciousness and field effects appear in seven books.  Mr. Beal has obtained numerous grants for travel and lectures internationally. He now does private consulting for individuals at home, business and property assessments for health-stressful EMF Effects.

Last Wednesday (9/17/08) I got an email from a friend about an incredible multiwitness UFO event she’d read about on Yahoo news site that disappeared within a half hour of her watching the video news article. The sighting she described amounted to the possibility of yet another strange UFO event involving multiple police officers as witnesses in the same areas of Illinois as the famous Lebanon, Millstadt, Shiloh triangular UFO sightings that occurred back in January of 2000.

UFO story and video immediately retracted this AM

I’m a a night owl, and often on the internet in the wee hours.

This AM early, before I went to bed, I saw a news story in the short list of headlines on the Yahoo! page. It had not been there more than 20 mins or a half hour when I spotted it. It linked to a news video.

The headline read (very close to this) ‘ 5 Police Officers Witness UFO in Southern Illinois’

Did you or anyone you know see this???

I went to the video and watched it three times.

I tried to download it but the download didn’t work.

I paused it in a few places, especially to see the sketch one of the officers had made.

I wish I had made notes, but I assumed (foolishly, I now realize) that the story would be up later today when I got up, with further details.

But when I looked for it, it was gone. Not only gone, but erased, as if it had never happened.

I used every tactic I know, searching on ‘Illinois UFO’ and ‘Lebanon Illinois’ and ‘Lebanon UFO’ and ‘Lebanon Police’, and looked in the news as well as on the web in general.

The search pulled up a story from 2000 from the same area:

www.theblackvault.com/wiki/index.php/Illinois_(1-5-2000)

www.ufoevidence.org/cases/case277.htm

I assume you know about this one. Similar case in several respects: trucker or motorist calls 911, reports UFO at a roadside stop a few minutes later, an officer goes out and sees it, tries to follow it, stops car, hears no engine noise, sees bright white lights on a triangular shape, notes its ability to move very far very fast.

OK; what I remember from the now-disappeared video of earlier today is:

• (1) the story was run by a local TV station (but I do not remember which one). I don’t recall seeing a news anchor.
• (2) the incident happened in Lebanon, Illinois.
• (3) a police dispatcher took the 911 call and said something like “you’re kidding, right?” and  the 911 dispatcher said “no, not kidding”, and the audio of this conversation (either the real audio or a simulation??) was played on the video;
• (4) the police officer who first responded and had the most detailed account was interviewed on video, and: his sketch of the object was shown (it is not the same as sketches seen in the 2000 story linked above) he described his encounter in detail: bright white lights at one end and multicolored lights underneath; when he pulled into the left turn lane on a deserted highway and shut off the engine, the object descended below trees. He heard no engine sound and was astonished at how quickly the object displaced itself to a mile away when he backed up on the highway to get a better look.

I am not clear how the other police figure in. There were two ‘animations’ (labeled as such on the video) of the object in the sky.

The cop I saw interviewed was absolutely not any of the officers pictured in the news articles at the links for the 2000 event. He was pudgy, mid-30s, clean-shaven and shown close up. An actor for the TV story, or… a similar, very new incident?

So… is this some semi-hoax or accidental rerun (with images from a TV story) of an 8-year-old incident that got put up and then pulled? (not that the original is a hoax by any means)

Or is this a new incident in the same area (as these sightings do sometimes cluster, and there is an Air Force base nearby) which was considered too hot to make public?

Hoping you can make some sense of this,
xxxx

Well, before I could spend any time digging into this strange rehashing of a past UFO sighting as new again, my friend got back in touch with me convinced that this was in fact some sort of hoax trying to pass itself off as something new.

Got it! It was a hoax based on the 2000 original

Hi, Miles,

This site (D Barker TV dot com) has a detailed discussion / analysis of the 2000 event and in it there is a trailer for the video “The Edge of Reality”.

In the video, precisely at 01:00, I saw the cop that I saw in the news report on Yahoo early this AM. The scene was different (and he was in civilian clothes in what I saw this AM), but it was the same guy, describing the same encounter. Furthermore, I later spotted the sketch of the craft on the website–same sketch I saw in the Yahoo news article (I have attached it).

So, looks like somebody put together a video from the 2000 data and hoaxed Yahoo.

The original event is a jaw-dropper, though.

xxxx

So, does anybody out there have insights into who put this short-lived rehash video newsbyte of an 8 year old UFO sighting together and managed to get it posted / “aired”, however briefly, on the Yahoo news homepage?

Help The International Cryptozoology Museum

Back on July 4th I launched my own efforts to try and drum up support for Loren Coleman’s more than worthy International Cryptozoology Museum by focusing on the symbolic event of Independence Day. I created a ChipIn fundraising widget for a Summer Fundraiser and donated $50.

Since that time Loren has worked tirelessly to continue educating the public and researching these important and exciting scientific discoveries. He worked very hard at exposing the most recent large scale media hoax featuring the Georgia boys and other known hoaxers and the increased traffic (and deliberate hacking attacks) took down his main avenues for reaching the public at large. Despite all the publicity, Loren reports that donations are barely trickling in.

In the midst of growing national and international monetary crises we must not forget those who selflessly pursue those mysteries that strike archetypal chords in the collective minds of humanity. Please take a moment to click on one of the links provided to help fund Loren Coleman’s International Cryptozoology Museum.

I’ve been labeled a politico in the past. I’ve been villified by readers who labeled me a “Godless liberal” and a “conservative fundamentalist mouthpiece”, for the same article on the seperation of church and state. I was even fired from my first newspaper job for writing anti-pollution editorials. With Anomaly Magazine though I’ve tried to stay away from politics, leaving that territory on this site to my more political and conspiracy minded compatriots. (A notable exception being my last post, on the arrests of protesters at the RNC in Minneapolis, because there are some impositions on our liberties that just can not go ignored.)

I don’t expect to be making any partisan pleas anytime soon. But a recent article from the TimesOnline , tying Palin’s success in her bid for the governorship of Alaska with the prayers of an African Witch Hunter, seems to dovetail too nicely with our format here at Anomaly Magazine to ignore. According to that article, Palin was impressed not with Pastor Muthee’s humility and deference to the Holy Spirit, but his ”powerful” demand that God “make a way” for Palin to succeed in her bid for the Governor’s seat. And it isn’t just God that Pastor Muthee is forceful with, but anyone he deems an enemy of his faith.  This includes people he labels as witches. As noted in the TimeOnline article: 

According to accounts of the witchhunt circulated on evangelical websites such as Prayer Links Ministries, after Pastor Muthee declared Mama Jane a witch, the townspeople became suspicious and began to turn on her, demanding that she be stoned. Public outrage eventually led the police to raid her home, where they fired gunshots, killing a pet python which they believed to be a demon.

And here you thought that only “radical anarchist organizers” (btw, isn’t “anarchist organizer” a bit of an oxymoron?) needed to fear having their doors kicked in under a McCain/Palin administration.

It seemed like the “in” joke for speakers at the Republican National Convention this evening was “Community Organizer”. Sarah Palin used it to poke fun of Barack Obama’s experience during her acceptance speech this evening. Rudy Giuliani (who miraculously kept his mention of 9/11 down to one instance!) used the “Community Organizer” dig with gusto to attack Obama’s experience and bolster Palin’s so-called “Executive” experience (another catch prhase for the evening).

It should come as no surprise that the Republicans are opposed to community organization. If they are going to keep their base, they have to disable the grass roots apparatus that can get past the media they own and get the word out to the working poor that they are voting against their own economic interest each time they vote Republican. (For an excellent analysis of this, please read Deer Hunting with Jesus by Joe Bageant. An excellent book.)

It should also come as no surprise that in the run up to the Republican Convention, the police were rounding up and arresting activists and protesters and suspected protesters. Employing classic intimidation methods to discourage potential protests, they rounded people up, charged them with nothing, and released them without returning personal items such as journals, computers, and even a child’s shoes.

Take that community organizers! Nyah!

NLG Attorney explains the series of raids

Organizers gather in the street after being ejected during police searches

Journalist Amy Goodman caught up by overzealous police and arrested while covering protests

And, finally, police confiscate the bus/home and personal belongings of a group of sustainable living hippies… including the dangerous child’s shoes! (But let them keep their dogs and chickens, apparently underestimating and overlooking the potential risk of biological warfare via avian flu.)
