Steffens (1:109/160) A new year and with it comes a new computerized magazine: EUFON. EUFON will attempt to provide some sort of uniformity to UFO researchers. Because the articles published in EUFON are from real people, you will be exposed to real investigations and real experiences. Any person can submit an article, you do not have to be a recognized authority in the field anymore. For that same reason, we encourage you to get in touch with the authors of the articles you find relevant so that you can arrive at your own conclusions. Finally, you will also find in EUFON the announcement of the latest activities dealing with UFOs, such as symposiums, meetings, and others. In short, EUFON will keep you up to date as to what is happening in the UFO investigation arena. In this first issue, you'll find the report of UFO sightings for the year 1991 as updated by the National Sighting Research Center. It is a very comprehensive statistical study of UFO related phenomena and comes courtesy of The MUFON-Net BBS. You will also find George P. Hansen's open letter regarding the controversial Linda Napolitano abduction case. Finally, you will read the latest regarding the United Nations and their efforts regarding UFO investigations. EUFON will attempt to include a monthly book review. This month's book is "The Montauk Project". Because all articles published in EUFON are provided by people interested in UFO, we encourage you to submit articles with the results of your own investigations, as well as your opinions on current cases, issues, or other articles seen here. Although this issue is rather short, we hope that, with your contributions, we will grow to be a comprehensive review of what is going on in ufology.EUFONews 1 - 1 Page 2 01 Jan 1993 [Provided courtesy of The MufoNet-BBS network] NATIONAL SIGHTING RESEARCH CENTER - UPDATE - by Paul Ferrughelli 1991: THE UFO YEAR IN REVIEW BACKGROUND 1991 was definitely a Year of Change. For the first time in five years, UFO reports described as "lights/illumina- tions" out numbered the reports of "objects/shapes". Lights and Illuminations represented 57.4% of 201 reported sightings. Another changed characteristic for 1991 was the Peak Month of UFO sighting activity. Janu- ary became the peak month of UFO sightings, compris- ing 15% of the total for the whole year. (See Figure 1 ) For the past two years, October had been the Peak Month for UFO reports, but in 1991, October ranked LAST. The summer months were more active than in 1990. STATE SIGHTING BREAKDOWN Florida was the leader by a Substantial margin, Florida reported 54 sightings for 1991...83% (45) of these sight- ings were described as "lights/illuminations". Of the Florida total, Gulf Breeze reported 63% (34) of the Florida total. Indiana led the nation (7) in reporting Close Encounter UFO sightings. A usually quiet state, North Carolina ranked 4th in 1991 with 14 UFO reports and 5 Close Encounter Sightings (CES). Other States with higher than normal averages were, Oregon and New Hampshire. New Jersey ranked 9th in 1991 with 4 UFO Sightings. All four reports were of "Objects/Shapes" and were observed during night time visibility. Two of the four reports were CES. TIME OF DAY A surprise for 1991 was the Peak Time of Day for UFO reports. (Refer to Figure 4) The mode (peak) time is clearly 8:00 P.M. represents 21% sightings and the normal lull activity time was between 6:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M were only 9.3% of the sightings occurred. A consis- tent pattern over the past five years has been to observe UFO sighting activity in the LATE HOURS of the evening. RECURRING SIGHTING LOCATIONS In 1991 there were 20 towns or cities in 13 states report- ing a total of 96 UFO sightings. Those twenty towns reported two or more sightings within the 12 month EUFONews 1 - 1 Page 3 01 Jan 1993 period of 1991. Those 96 sightings represent 48% of the total reports for 1991. This is higher than normal but not unusual due to Gulf Breeze, Florida, reporting 34 sightings. HYNEK CLASS BREAKDOWN Nocturnal Lights accounted for 74.5% of the total reports, this is higher than the five year average of 67%. Daylight Disc reports for 1991 were 5.5%, which is lower than the five years average or 8.3%. The Close Encounter Sightings (CES) were also lower representing only 18% of the total, the five year average is 22% OBSERVATIONS Although 1991 was a year of change in some aspects of the UFO phenomena, there were no significant events that occurred. The fact that 57.5% of the total sightings were of lights/illuminations (15% higher than the five year average) may be significant in that it may be related to the 8:00 P.M. Peak Time for sightings (this has not oc- curred in the past 5 years). The quality of sightings occurring at 8:00 P.M. was actually higher than the five year average for the Combined Peak Times. There were 14 reports of Trace Cases of Crop Circles in the USA in 1991 (these were not included in the UFO data and are only considered applicable if a UFO was observed before or after the event). There were several odd "probability" sighting cases in 1991. There were two Deltoid sightings in North Carolina which occurred during the day in two separate towns at the SAME time of day, 11:45 A.M. These two reports occurred within 2 months of each other. The duration of these Deltoid reports were 3 seconds and 4 seconds in length. What is the probability of two Deltoid reports to occur at the same time, and have a duration almost exactly the same? There were three reports of "Rec- tangular" shaped objects in Pennsylvania, two on the same day and both with five weeks of each other. Gulf Breeze, Florida is still reporting high numbers of UFO reports in 1991. Several of these sightings have been documented of video tape. Many of the Gulf Breeze reports were that of a single "red light". When looking at the sighting data over the past five years of with respect to COLOR ONLY, Red was the leading color. 1991 SUMMARY RECAP DATA -------------------------------------------------------- Annual Total............................... 201 Reports Peak Month.........................

IN,FL,PA,CA,MI ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Attempted Murder vs. The Politics of Ufology: A Question of Priorities in the Linda Napolitano Case by George P. Hansen ----------------------------------------------------------------- ABSTRACT: UFO abductee Linda Napolitano claims that she was kidnapped, assaulted, battered, harassed, and nearly drowned by two agents of the U.S. government. Prominent ufologists Budd Hopkins, John E. Mack, David M. Jacobs, Jerome Clark and Walter H. Andrus, Jr. accept these claims. Hopkins has collected extensive materials that could be used to help apprehend and convict the agents. Yet Hopkins, Clark and Andrus have vigorously argued that these crimes should not be reported to law enforcement authorities; they indicate that such could be "politically damaging" to UFO research. These ufologists are asked to defend their decision and priorities. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Budd Hopkins' case involving the abduction of Linda Napolitano by a UFO has been discussed in the Wall Street Journal (May 14, 1992, pp. A1, A10), Omni (April 1992, p. 75), Paris Match (17 Sept. 92, pp. 13-14, 18, 96, 98), and the New York Times (October 5, 1992, pp. B1, B2). The Mufon UFO Journal labeled it "The Abduction Case of the Century" (August 1992, p. 9). By virtue of this intense interest, it will become an exemplar for the study of UFO abductions. Briefly, it is asserted that at about 3:15 a.m. on November 30, 1989, Linda Napolitano floated out of her 12th floor apartment in lower Manhattan. Allegedly three witnesses in a car about two blocks away observed Linda and three humanoid figures emerge from a window and ascend into a craft hovering over her building. Two of the witnesses, Richard and Dan, were government security officers who were guarding the third witness, a dignitary. More than a year after the case, Richard and Dan wrote to Hopkins describing what they saw, and a few weeks later they visited Linda in her apartment. Hopkins has never met these two but has over 80 pages of letters from them, and he has accumulated much other material pertinent to the case. The affair is quite complex, and the story is now only beginning to be EUFONews 1 - 1 Page 6 01 Jan 1993 told. Hopkins presented a few details at the 1992 MUFON convention in Albuquerque and then in the September 1992 issue of the Mufon UFO Journal. One of the most disturbing elements of the case is that felonies were allegedly committed by the government agents; these include assault, battery, kidnapping and attempted murder. Hopkins' published account of this aspect is so sketchy that some might consider it deliberately misleading. His entire written summary is only one sentence long: "In April and again in October 1991, Linda would suffer hours- long forced confinements and interrogations at the hands of these confused frightened `law-enforcement' officers; she would be struck by a car during a chase through the streets of lower Manhattan" (Mufon UFO Journal, September 1992, pp. 13, 14). Hopkins' brief statement hardly conveys the gravity of the situation. It suggests that he may have taken these matters much too lightly. The kidnappings and attempted murder On January 28, 1992, Linda Napolitano contacted Richard Butler and requested a meeting because she was concerned about her personal safety, and she was worried that Hopkins might not be able to adequately protect her. Linda had earlier become friends with Butler at meetings in the home of Budd Hopkins. On February 1, 1992, Linda met with Butler along with Joseph Stefula, a former Special Agent with the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command who has extensive contacts in law enforcement. During the meeting, Linda stated that in April 1991 she encountered security agent Richard on the street near her apartment. She was asked to get into a car that Dan was driving, but she refused. Richard then picked her up and, with some struggle, forced her into the automobile. Linda reported that she was driven around for 3 1/2 hours and interrogated about the aliens. At the MUFON symposium in July 1992, Linda was asked if she had reported the kidnapping to the police. She said that she had not and went on to say that the kidnapping was legal because it had to do with national security; she later commented that she did not want to go head to head with a government agency because she might be killed and pieces of her might be found in the East River (Hopkins did not dispute these statements). Linda did remember another car being involved with the kidnapping, and under hypnotic regression she recalled the license plate number of that automobile, as well as part of the number of the car she was in. Hopkins reports that the numbers have been traced to particular agencies. During the February 1 meeting with Stefula and Butler, Linda reported that on the morning of October 15, 1991, Dan pulled her into a red Jaguar sports car. Linda happened to be carrying a tape recorder and was able to surreptitiously record a small part of Dan's questioning, but within a few minutes he discovered and confiscated it. Dan drove to a beach house on the shore of Long Island. There he demanded that Linda remove her clothes and put on a white nightgown, similar to the one she wore the night of the UFO abduction. He said he wanted to have sex with her. She refused but then agreed to put on the nightgown over her clothes. Once she did, Dan dropped to his knees and started to talk incoherently about her being the "Lady of the Sands." She fled the beach house, but Dan caught her on the beach and bent her arm behind EUFONews 1 - 1 Page 7 01 Jan 1993 her. He placed two fingers on the back of her neck, leading Linda to believe that it was a gun. He then forced her into the water and pushed her head under twice. He continued to rave incoherently, and as her head was being pushed under for the third time, she believed that she would not come up again. Then, a "force" hit Dan and knocked him back onto the beach. Linda started to run but heard a sound like a gun being cocked. She looked back and saw Dan taking a picture of her (the pictures were eventually sent to Hopkins). She continued to move, but Richard came running, seemingly out of nowhere. He stopped her and convinced her to return to the beach house, and he told her that he would control Dan by giving him a Mickey Finn. She agreed to the plan. Once inside, Richard put Dan in the shower to wash off the mud from the beach. This gave Linda a chance to search the premises; she recovered her cassette tape and discovered stationery bearing a Central Intelligence Agency letterhead. In a brief conversation on October 3, 1992, Hopkins told me that Linda came to him shortly after she arrived back in Manhattan after the kidnapping. She was disheveled, had sand in her hair, and was traumatized by the experience. Linda also reported to Stefula and Butler that on December 15 and December 16, 1991, one of the men had tried to make contact with her near the shopping area of the South Street Seaport. He was driving a large black Fleetwood sedan with Saudi Arabian United Nations license plates. To avoid him, Linda said that she went into a shop during the first incident. The second day a similar thing happened, and she stood next to some businessmen until he left the area. Evidence accumulated by Hopkins Hopkins reports accumulating much information about the identities of Richard and Dan, and this could be extremely helpful in a criminal investigation. He has approximately 80 pages of letters from the two men. These might potentially be used to identify typewriters on which they were produced. They may also contain fingerprints. Hopkins has tape recordings of Richard and Dan; perhaps these could be used to help identify them by voiceprints. Hopkins claims to know which government agency employs the two. He says that he knows the identity of the dignitary they were guarding, and this person should be in a position to help locate and identify Richard and Dan. (Linda told Stefula and Butler that the dignitary was Javier Perez de Cuellar, then Secretary General of the United Nations.) The counsel of ufology's leaders The reader may be tempted to dismiss Linda's account as a preposterous script for a grade B movie, and I personally do not believe her claims. However, several notable figures in ufology have expressed the conviction that Linda is telling the truth. On October 6, 1992, I spoke with Dr. John Mack, former head of the psychiatry department at Harvard Medical School, and he confirmed that he had met Linda and concluded that she was not the type of person to make up this kind of story. That same day I also spoke with David Jacobs, a professor of history at Temple University, an abduction research colleague of Budd Hopkins, and author of the book Secret Life. He too believed that Linda was telling the truth. EUFONews 1 - 1 Page 8 01 Jan 1993 Hopkins presented additional secret evidence to Walter Andrus and Jerome Clark who are now both persuaded of Linda's honesty. Andrus and Clark are arguably the two most influential figures in U.S. ufology. Andrus is International Director of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), and he organizes the largest annual conference on UFOs in the country and regularly writes for MUFON's monthly magazine. Clark is a columnist for Fate magazine, editor of International UFO Reporter, and a vice-president of the Center for UFO Studies. At a meeting in New York City on October 3, 1992, Linda said that she is willing to testify against Richard and Dan (though she had previously indicated that she was afraid of filing charges herself). I informed those at the meeting that I was prepared to make a formal request for a federal investigation of the attempted murder of Linda. Hopkins, Andrus, and Clark all vigorously objected to this, and they strongly urged me not to do so. They said that such action would be "politically damaging" to ufology. I was extremely puzzled by their reasoning and their apparent priorities. On October 5, 1992, two days later, I called Andrus to make certain that I understood his position. I asked him to join with me and request a formal investigation of these allegations by the proper law enforcement agencies. I explained to him that UFO researchers were generally not qualified to investigate attempted murder. I was taken aback when Andrus asked me what right I had to raise these issues. He again urged that the crimes not be reported. The following day I spoke with Clark. He told me that he accepted Linda's statements, and he reaffirmed his opposition to reporting the crimes. I have not been given a satisfactory explanation for their views. At risk is not only the safety of Linda but also that of the general public. If federal agents have engaged in kidnapping and attempted murder, they should be brought to justice. The matter is of great concern for the general citizenry and for the conduct of UFO abduction research. I call upon Clark, Andrus, and Hopkins to publicly explain their rationale and priorities. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UFOs, the U.N. and GA 33/426 by John F. Schuessler Late in 1978, prominent UFO researchers approached the United Nations with the suggestion to set up some type of international clearing house whereby investigators and researchers would be able to coordinate on an international level scientific research into unidentified flying objects, and to inform the Secretary-General of the observations, research, and evaluation of such activities. The UN General Assembly responded favorably by adopting Decision GA 33/426. Unfortunately, nothing was done to bring the decision to fruition and it lies dormant to this very day. Early in 1992 Mohammad Ahmad Ramadan, President of the United Nations Parapsychology Society, suggested it was time to reacquaint the United Nations with Decision GA 33/426 with the intent of forming the agency EUFONews 1 - 1 Page 9 01 Jan 1993 called for in the Decision. In order to make this happen, he felt it necessary to have a series of presentations aimed at providing an update on the UFO situation. He then proceeded, with the strong support of MUFON's Robert Bletchman, to organize the United Nations Symposium on Extraterrestrial Intelligence and Human Future which occurred on October 2, 1992, just ten days before NASA was to begin it's SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) program. The symposium was not aimed at traditional academia or the media. It was felt that traditional academia has proved to be insufficient in solving problems of this magnitude and needs help itself in having credibility for the future. As far as the media is concerned, it is saturated with UFO data and all of those concerned have already made up their minds - for or against. No UFO witness will make them change their minds, unless they see for themselves. The mission of the symposium, then was not to change people but to network with those who already are willing to listen, especially among the United Nations non-governmental organizations (NGOs) such as Amnesty International, Red Cross, Greenpeace, B'nai Brith, etc. The organizations are the greatest catalyst of change in modern times. For instance, they fought very hard to force President Bush to attend the Earth Summit in Rio. It was noted that the "old guards" of politics and science would be apprehensive, fearful we were pulling the carpet from under their feet. Therefore, the tone of the symposium was to present the data and leave the audience to decide for themselves, the way I believe it should always be done. Hundreds of representatives of the United Nations NGOs meet weekly to investigate problems having a worldwide scope. Many of these representatives did attend the symposium and responded favorably. The Dag Hammarskjold Auditorium was filled to capacity. We were fortunate in having Linda Howe available for a special noon program prior to the symposium, but held in the same auditorium. She provided a Crop Circle Mystery Update in a special hour and a half program. Symposium speakers were each given one hour to present their message. After a brief introduction by Mr. Ramadan, Stanton Friedman gave an energetic and entertaining presentation entitled "The Cosmic Watergate." I followed with the "Medical and Scientific Evidence." After a short break, the program resumed with a presentation on "The Human Evidence," by Dr. Rauni Leena Kilde, MD. of Norway. Dr. Kilde revealed her own personal abduction experience. The final presenter was Dr. Norma Milanovich, speaking on the "Cosmic-Spiritual Evidence and Experience," using material channeled through her computer. After a question and answer period by the panel of speakers, an open letter to the Secretary-General, from the panel of speakers, was read aloud to the audience. The letter was to be hand delivered to the Secretary-General on the following Monday. The UFO mystery is not limited to the United States. It is a worldwide problem. Therefore, it was appropriate to bring this strong message to the United Nations, with the expectation that the UN will proceed to form the UFO agency called for by Decision GA 33/426. There is hope that it will be done correctly this time. EUFONews 1 - 1 Page 10 01 Jan 1993 Book Review The MONTAUK PROJECT - Experiments in time. Preston B. Nichols with Peter Moon ISBN 0-9631889-0-9 First Printing June 1992 Sky Books Box 769 Westbury NY This is the story of Preston B. Nichols, a very strange story it is. The degree of strangeness rates a good 9 out of 10 and, if the old adage "Truth is stranger than fiction" is anything to go by, then perhaps this is evidence that the book represents the 'truth' as may be known to the author. I, for one, was unable to put it down until the last page was read. I was too tired to begin it again, but that is the compunction that I felt last night. INTRODUCTION At the eastern most end of Long Island sits Montauk Point, known to most New Yorkers for its scenic beauty and landmark lighthouse. To the immediate west of the lighthouse, there is a mysterious and derelict Air Force base on the grounds of the old Fort Hero. Although it was officially decommissioned and abandoned by the USA Air Force in 1969, it was subsequently re-opened and continued to operate without the sanction of the US Government. The entire financing of the base is also a mystery. No funding can be traced either to the military of the Government. Officials of the government have probed for the answers without success. The secrecy of the operation has prompted legends to thrive across Long Island. However, it is unlikely that any of the local people of Montauk, or those who spread the tales, know the full story of what actually went on there. A circle of insiders believe the Montauk Project was a development and culmination of the phenomena encountered aboard the USS Eldridge in 1943. Popularly known as the "Philadelphia Experiment", the ship actually disappeared while the Navy conducted radar invisibility experiments. According to these accounts, over three decades of secret research and applied technology actually ensued. Experiments were conducted that included electronic mind surveillance and control of distinct populations. The climax was reached at Montauk in 1983. It was at that point the Montauk Project tripped open a hole in space time to 1943. Perhaps the person best qualified to tell the story is Preston Nichols, and electrical engineer and inventor who has studied the Montauk Project for the better part of a decade. His interest in part was spurred on by unusual circumstances in his own life. He was also able to legally acquire much of the equipment that was used for the project. His continued investigation ultimately revealed his own role as the project's technical director. Despite having been brain washed and threats to silence him, he has survived and has decided it is in the best interest of all to tell his story. So says the introduction. It seems that Mr Nichols has been one of the persons to have worked with Duncan Cameron and Al Bielek, both of whom have previously released some detail into the activities of certain groups involved with the exploration of space-time matrix and mind EUFONews 1 - 1 Page 11 01 Jan 1993 control. The account is very well written, lucid and not too technical for the layman reader. If what the book purports to have been achieved by man is true, then virtually nothing is impossible. eg. Instantaneous travel from A to B, whether B happens to be on Mars in the year 125,000 BC, or Earth in the year 6035; creation of monsters or beings at will; transference of one person's "soul" or "signature" to another (walk-ins?); re-juvination of body by manipulation of a person's time-line; The Seeing-eye, by the use of a portion of a person's hair or other personal effects, it is possible to see through the eyes of that person in real-time and experience their view. This is only the tip of the iceberg...Far out!, you say? Well, perhaps but read it as science fiction if you must, above all, read it.
