UFO SIGHTINGS AND VIDEOS INCREASE  

UFOs may start turning up on the evening news and in top newspapers.  UFOs 
are being video taped in space from the Shuttle, from helicopters flying over 
New York, around the US and in such places as the Australia, Chili, China, 
the Philippines and the United Kingdom.  Eventually the news media is bound 
to pick up some UFO videos just to help their ratings.  

NASA SHUTTLE MISSION STS-106 RECORDS UFO 

UFORCE International reports, "In what can only be described as a beautifully 
coordinated effort on the part of international UFO reporting agencies around 
the world, a UFO that shadowed shuttle mission STS-106 has been verified by 
several independent verifiable sources!  Preliminary reports had indicated 
that the Space Shuttle Atlantis, which was launched on September 8, 2000, had 
first spotted, then filmed a UFO.  Our web site affiliate Cosmic Conspiracies 
in the UK has received an audio record of this very same transmission between 
Shuttle astronauts and mission control.  In the first transmission, we hear 
NASA say "'Atlantis, Houston, you're go for ET photo and plus x', then 
Atlantis replies 'We got a second!'"  In the second audio sequence you hear 
"'Gus, sounds like your picking up an echo!'"  There is some speculation as 
to what the astronauts were referring to when they had asked NASA if they 
could film "ET." 

UFORCE-UK affiliate Cosmic Conspiracies has made this transmission available 
to the public, by way of a free download. These tapes consist of (2) audio 
sound-bytes that are short.  When this evidence is combined with other 
information that we are presently receiving from our World-Wide UFO reporting 
network, it makes the potential of a NASA cover-up even more likely.  The

Editor's Note: The photo of a cigar shaped object can be seen on my website 
thanks to Jeff Chandler.  NASA may be talking about photographing External 
Tanks rather than ET.  Jeff writes that, "The STS-106 mission observed 
several objects flying over the Eastern States just before Sunup.  The 
pattern holds.  I noticed early on in this work, that wherever the time is 
5:00 AM, give or take an hour, THAT is where we see these things zipping 
about over the surface of Earth from the Shuttle cameras.  That last hour 
before dawn.  So if a person wanted to increase his/her chances of capturing 
a UFO on video camera, the time to consistently be outside looking is between 
4 and 6 AM.  I believe from my NASA observations that those who follow this 
advice, will be successful in the long run."  

ISRAEL FIGHTING COULD LEAD TO WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST

MIAMI -- Tom reports that on Saturday's NBC Network News there was a segment 
on the Fighting in Israel that focused on a 17 year old Palestinian boy who 
was in the wrong place and was killed in the crossfire.  NBC Reporters 
interviewed his parents in their house and showed the boy's bedroom and on 
the wall was a 18 inch wide by 30 inch high poster with a UFO hovering in 
plain sight.  Across the bottom of the poster in large block letters it said 
"I WANT TO BELIEVE." You have probably seen one of these posters.  The media 
pointed out the words and said -- See!  He even had a poster saying "I Want 
To Believe" (then their words) --> IN PEACE !!!  Totally ignoring the hubcap 
size UFO!  Watch for a repeat of this segment on NBC Network news.  It 
couldn't have been more obvious that they are well trained to avoid the 
subject of UFOs.  Thanks to Tom: AfterMidnight@egroups.com 

Editor's Note: The situation in Israel is very disturbing.  UFOs have been 
seen there on a regular basis.  There has always been a strong religious tie 
in to these UFO reports.  It seems little will be gained by the fighting.  
There is possibility of war on two fronts for Israel after more than a week 
of clashes with the Palestinians and Lebanese Islamist Hezbollah guerrillas 
who attacked and captured three Israeli soldiers on Lebanon's southern 
border, capturing three of them. 

OIL PRICES MAY EFFECT THE US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.  

Oil prices continue to climb as expected despite the release of 30 million 
gallons of crude oil from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve by the Clinton 
Administration.  Oil is part of a global market and it appears much of this 
oil may be diverted to European Markets where oil prices are even higher.  
The Energy Department admits that only a third of the extra home heating oil 
refined from government crude reserves may actually reach US customers.  
Inventories for heating oil in New England are 65 percent below normal and 
there could easily be a shortage home heating oil in the US.  Releasing of 
the Petroleum Oil Reserves likely helped increase prices because it had a 
stabilizing effect until released.  If Clinton Administration wants to cut 
prices they must reduce the amount of oil used and increase US production.  
As the possibility of war becomes more likely in the Middle East it is 
possible the Arabs may decide to cut shipments to the US.  Saudi Arabia and 
Iraq provide us with large amounts of oil.  

NEW YORK SIGHTINGS TV SHOW HAS EXCELLENT UFO VIDEO

NEW YORK CITY -- Several readers have written concerning the Sightings TV 
show # 4032 that aired on Friday, October 6, 2000.  The Scifi.com portion 
showed an excellent home video of a couple taking a helicopter  tour of New 
York City with an amazing disc shaped UFO in the video in flight.  Close up 
pictures were very good of the UFO and its speed was amazing.  Thanks to 
USDSCUBA

Editor's Note:  The video can be seen on www.sightings.com    

NEW JERSEY UFOs SEEN FROM AIRCRAFT 

Michael L. Stovall tells me that, "One observation I have made, as I fly a 
good deal, is that the UFO's occasionally seem to be more easily seen from 
the side than from the underside.  I have watched them from a side view, then 
could not see them when I got underneath.  They just looked like the sky, 
clouds or clear. Perhaps a camouflage effect is in place.  Ever heard of such 
from others?  Just a note of my experiences. 

Editor's Note: ----In a case I investigated with Dr. Don Johnson at McGuire 
Air Force Base in 1980, a witness called the base and told them they had two 
disc shaped UFOs over the base.  The witness owned an Art Supply Company and 
drew the UFOs on his window with a grease pencil.  He was an excellent 
witness and I have no doubt that he saw them.  The Air Force looked outside 
and claimed they couldn't see anything.  The witness called a neighbor who 
could also see the UFOs hovering over the base.  They then called the state 
police.  Those under the UFOs could not see them.  Those off to the side were 
able to do so.  On triangulation of the UFO position from the witnesses it 
turned out they were hovering over a nuclear weapons storage site.   

MARYLAND FLYING TRIANGLE 

CHESAPEAKE BAY -- Bill Bean writes, "I went on a Skywatch on October 3, 2000, 
with some members from my group and we witnessed some incredible activity 
between 9:15 PM and 10:15 PM from Bowley's Quarters over the Chesapeake Bay.  
An erratic moving object was traveling east and then circled back twice at 
about 8,000 feet.  The craft had blue flashes coming from it and through a 
spotting scope and binoculars it looked triangular in shape.  No sound could 
be heard.  The UFO moved very erratically and it would stop and start, d zig 
zag, while it gained and lost altitude.  We saw this UFO for about 45 minutes 
and then it disappeared.  We also saw three other craft that accomplished 
mind boggling in maneuvers.  Two UFOs, one approaching from the east and the 
other from the west appeared to be at the same altitude were heading right 
for each other at 9:40 PM.  They were about to collide when both performed a 
TWIRLING Maneuver.  The one heading east gained in altitude and went out of 
sight and the one going west went back to a steady course and out of sight.  
At 10:05 PM, a blue flashing object was approaching from the west and it was 
moving toward what we thought was a star.  The blue strobing craft appeared 
to run into the star making a bright blue flash upon impact.  The star like 
object started moving like a craft and headed east and the UFO that struck 
it, became a stationary star like object and hovered there in the same spot 
as the first.  I have seen many strange things, but this is the most 
incredible sighting that I have ever had.  Thank GOD others witnessed this 
with me. GOD Bless, Bill Thanks to Bill Bean.. bllin@erols.com.   

ALABAMA STAR UFO VIDEO TAPED 

ARAB -- M. J. Ruben writes:  "We have received incredible UFO footage at the 
Alien Abduction Experience and Research web site.  Shortly before sunset on 
Tuesday, September 19, a "star" UFO was spotted in the sky over Arab, 
Alabama.  The "star" UFO remained in its silent, counterclockwise rotation 
and did not move out of its orbit.  Sissy Tripp, area resident, videotaped 
the UFO in its entirety.  As night fell, the "star" UFO dropped below the 
horizon as a star would due to the rotation of the Earth.  Given that the UFO 
looked like a star from the ground, it is very likely this UFO went 
undetected by most residents who would have ignored it.  Does this "star" UFO 
represent a bolder, more aggressive strategy by aliens to monitor Earth?

OHIO MULTIPLE UFOs DAZZLE  

GIRARD -- Investigator Kenny Young interviewed Mr. Rodney Happney of 
Youngstown who reported sighting a UFO in Trumbull County on September 19, 
2000.  Happney was formerly in the 82nd Airborne Infantry as a paratrooper 
and is very familiar with many types of aircraft.  While driving north on 
Salt Springs Road between 12:10 and 12:15 PM, Happney caught a glimpse of 
something in the sky. "I just saw these things from the corner of my eye," he 
said.  The next thing that caught Happney's attention was a crowd of people 
standing in the parking lot of a Sheetz Convenience store and gas station. 
"This crowd of 25 people were all standing around looking up and I realized 
we were looking at the same thing, so I decided to pull in and stop." The 
objects, which were described as roundish star-like lights, in the daytime 
sky, seemed 'pretty high' yet below the thin cloud layer.  Happney observed a 
total of six independent objects.  Some of the objects would shoot straight 
up, above the clouds while others would seem to roll around and reflect 
sunlight.  They would perform quick "bee-like" maneuvers and then assume a 
formation in what appeared from his vantage point to be a "straight line."  
"Two of these objects from the rear of the straight-line formation would 
remain stationary while the rest of these things just fell, suddenly," 
Happney recalled. "They seemed to be flying or buzzing around real high, but 
there was no sound at all that I could hear."   

The objects continued to scatter about before they made a rapid departure to 
the east.  Happney informed that he had never seen anything pull away at the 
speed these objects traveled. "Nothing could compare to how fast these things 
were going," he said.  Rodney Happney declares that these objects were 
nothing that could be addressed with a satisfactory explanation, and was 
absolutely certain they were no type of aircraft or military jets in practice 
or mock combat.  The crowd of spectators were pretty worked up, about the 
strange goings-on in the sky above them.  After the objects departed from 
sight, Happney reports that a C-5 military plane over flew the area. "No more 
than 15 or 20-seconds after these things pulled away.  After the sighting, 
Happney was excited about the occurrence called 9-1-1 and eventually got the 
Youngstown Airport.  He was informed that nothing was seen at the time in 
question.  Happney was advised by the tower operator to contact the National 
UFO Reporting Center and he did/.  Thanks to  Kenny Young, UFO Research

MINNESOTA A FLATTENED OUT "V" TRIANGLE 

MARSHALL - On September 20, 2000, at 10:57 PM I saw something out of the 
corner of my eye that at first I thought was a "V" formation of a flock of 
birds.  I cupped my ear to listen, but it made absolutely no sound.  It 
glided smoothly but quickly from the north towards a south-southeasterly 
direction.  It spanned the portion of sky from Hercules to Capricornus (where 
I lost it behind the trees) in about 5 seconds. It was shaped like a 
flattened out "V." At arms length it was about 3" across and about 1" long.  
It's shape was made up of many pinpoints of white lights, not brilliant, 
about as bright as the average star.  It was a perfectly clear night, the 
moon had not risen yet.  I was outside just gazing at how spectacular the 
Milky Way looked when I saw it.  I'm a 37 year old male and own a hardware 
store.  I have a college degree in management and I' am an avid starwatcher 
with telescope.  I do not believe in extraterrestrial life but I am miffed by 
what I just saw.  Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC www.ufocenter.com 

ARKANSAS CONTRAILS 

Jim Hickman writes, "Reference Filer's Files #39, I also saw those Arkansas 
contrails on September 30, reported last week." I was on Interstate 40 
between Memphis and Little Rock when my wife noticed several large white 
aircraft in the area, they were producing strange white contrails to our 
southwest, that ended up in a strange pattern almost looking like a 
tic-tac-toe board in the sky along with several circles.  I also wanted to 
report a sighting my wife and I had the night before at about 8:00 PM. We 
were attending the Mid-South Fair in Memphis, TN, when my wife looked up and 
saw an object. She pointed it out to me, I saw a dimly lit object, it 
appeared to be as large as a commercial aircraft that we had seen in the area 
earlier, as we were in the flight path of Memphis airport.  It didn't display 
any FAA lighting. I could easily judge it's relative size. This object was 
displaying only a dim gray colored light and it moved quickly from northeast 
to the Southwest.  It covered the sky from where we first saw it to the 
horizon in less then 15 seconds. I observed several "normal" aircraft in the 
area at the time of my sighting, including a police helicopter.  Thanks to 
Jim Hickman. 

NORTH DAKOTA

DICKINSON -- Dave Fugere writes, "We saw this strange craft over our town 
with three lights, fairly, bright, and if I remember right they were red, 
blue and green."  Slowly more lights went on as it approached us and got up 
to at least 7 or 8 lights, but the patterns kept changing.  I don't know if 
the lights were positioned in a way that concealed the shape of the craft or 
if they were separate lights flying together and materializing and 
disappearing. This was one of the strange things about it because it was 
right over us and I couldn't make out any frame at all linking the lights 
together. My daughter had even gotten my binoculars and I still couldn't put 
a shape together.  Thanks to "Dave Fugere"
