TERRORIST ATTACKS ON US ASSETS CONTINUE 

YEMEN -- A terrorist bomb was detonated next to the destroyer USS Cole 
killing 17 sailors in the port of Aden, one of the deepest natural ports in 
the world.  The explosion ripped a forty by forty foot hole in the side of 
the destroyer and the ship is in danger of sinking.  This is the most 
damaging attack since the 1996 bombing of the Air Force barracks in Saudi 
Arabia that killed 19.  The USS Cole was in route to the Persian Gulf where 
it was to perform maritime intercept operations in support of the UN embargo 
against Iraq.  The US and its allies have carried out continued bombing of 
Iraq and this may be a retaliatory attack.  Iraq makes billions of dollars 
from its oil exports that include shipments to the United States.  In fact 
Iraq provides the second largest portion of OPEC Nation's oil to the US.  
Meanwhile, Saddam Hussein is recruiting suicide volunteers for terrorist acts 
against Israel and the US.  The attack may have occurred in Yemen as a 
warning to US forces, since this is an important military base from which 
naval forces can quickly reach the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf and the Indian 
Ocean.  Strategically, the US Navy has recently lost key points of control to 
countries like China in the Suez Canal, when a Chinese company with ties to 
the People's Liberation Army (PLA) won important rights to facilities there.

Economic war is also being raged against the US.  Heating oil prices have 
been increased 16 to 20%, while oil prices reached their highest level in the 
last ten years with more increases likely.  

Saddam Hussein has encouraged Arab countries to expel Israeli ambassadors and 
revoke any agreements with the Jewish State.  Israel's main ally is the US 
and acts of terrorism may cause the US to lose its resolve to support Israel. 
 Meanwhile, Iraq is strengthening its military forces using cruise missiles 
and other equipment purchased from China.  Regional instability plays into 
Saddam Hussein's hands and the Palestinian rioting was likely encouraged by 
Iraq.  The lynching of three Israeli soldiers by a Palestinian mob has ruined 
chances for peace in the immediate future.  Meanwhile, the Israelis are 
deeply disappointed and discouraged with the United States abstention from 
the recent UN vote and feel very strongly that "silence gives consent."  The 
lack of a strong expression of support for Israel from the US in the UN 
council meeting has conveyed to the Israelis, that they are now alone.  Not 
even America will stand with them any longer.  

Although some potential terrorists have been caught at US border checkpoints, 
it is relatively easy to penetrate poorly protected US borders.  The US is at 
risk since terrorists can conduct sabotage in numerous ways.  The most 
damaging forest fires in recent history tore through the West this summer and 
fall.  Many of the fires were started under suspicious conditions that likely 
included terrorism.  Further attacks could take place against the subways, 
buildings, or water supplies of major cities.  Biological attacks may already 
be under way.

The West Nile Virus that was first found in New York City last summer has a 
suspicious history.  The virus is spreading throughout the East carried by 
Japanese mosquitoes.  This strain of mosquitoes was unknown to the US prior 
to the outbreak of the disease.  This mosquito is particularly well suited to 
spread the disease by biting and infecting various birds that are now flying 
south for the winter.  If the disease were introduced by accident it would 
appear that American or Egyptian mosquitoes would be the primary carrier of 
the virus.  If the American public realizes we are under terrorist attack and 
comparatively vulnerable, the outcome of the presidential election is likely 
to be effected.  

Strange heavy contrails are also being reportedly sprayed from unusually 
bright white colored four engine aircraft.  Reports suggest heavy airborne 
spraying may be going near many cities in the US.  Strange black puck shaped 
objects and UFOs are also being reported.  This activity is followed by 
unusual respiratory illnesses among the populace.  Pittsburgh was hit by 
heavy contrails on Friday, and the sky quickly clouded over by nightfall.  
The spraying may be tied to the prevention of an outbreak of more serious 
diseases.  Cattle mutilations are also continuing at a high rate.

CONNECTICUT DIAMOND SHAPED CRAFT SPOTTED  

MIDDLETOWN -- Larry Clark reports that on October 14, 2000, Dean Burgess went 
out to have a smoke on his porch that sits on a high hill overlooking a 
valley.  Dean says, "The sky was hazy and I couldn't see any stars except for 
one that seemed kind of low in the sky."  I was attracted to that one spot 
because it was so bright.  He says, "I grabbed my spotting scope that I use 
for stargazing at 2:45 AM and saw a diamond shape craft hover for two minutes 
then move at a progressive speed."  It was moving east and roughly at about 5 
mph, and I could see a light on each end of the diamond actually making a 
diamond shape.  In the center parallel to each other there were two pulsating 
lights that flashed like a railroad crossing sign.  I estimate that the 
object was a mile away and I could see it very clear through the scope from 
start to finish.  I observed it for five minutes total.  After hovering for a 
couple minutes I saw it move off for three minutes until it was out of sight. 
 All the lights were white and very bright.  Thanks to Dean Burgess and Larry 
Clark www.nymufon.org 

NEW JERSEY LIGHTS 

BRIDGEWATER -- After work, I was driving home on Washington Valley Road on 
September 24, 2000, when I saw a big light like a very pointed star.  At 
first, I thought it was some tower over the hill, but the light was moving 
from left to right and it was impossible to be an airplane.  I stopped my car 
at 11:45 PM, since I thought that probably my windshield was blurry and 
showed the light so big.  I got out of my car, and it was a really big flying 
light.  When the light crossed almost over me, I saw the side of the object 
that looked heavy without a shape to fly and no wings.  It was flat in the 
front, the same as the back.  It had red and green little lights blinking 
across of the side of the object.  It made a very little noise like 
whistling.  I didn't see the color; it was a dark object flying slowly and 
low.  I couldn't believe it when the object passed.  I made a U turn to try 
to see more and I follow it, but it faded away behind the trees.  I made a 
left turn to follow and it was gone.  Luckily I found Route 78 that I had 
been searching for.  I wasn't scared but tears started to come from my eyes 
at that moment.  I phoned police to see if anyone had filed a report or 
complaint about UFO's over Bridgewater, but no one had called.  Thanks to

WASHINGTON, DC DANCING METALLIC BALLS 

WASHINGTON MEMORIAL -- On September 29, 2000, high in the sky over the Mall 
while facing the Capitol Building I saw what I first thought was a metallic 
airplane reflecting light.  At 4:35 PM there were no clouds in the sky and 
flying high was an object that looked like a little ball.  It was moving in a 
straight line, much like an airplane would.  Then, I noticed another one, the 
same size and description was flying towards the first object.  I thought 
maybe they were planes flying at different altitudes, because it looked as 
though they were going to have a head-on collision.  I became anxious as I 
thought I was going to watch a midair collision, but just as they were going 
to crash, they VERY QUICKLY (much faster than an airplane ever could) spun 
off in opposite circular directions.  They danced around each other in 
circles, occasionally disappearing then reappearing.  The most I saw at one 
time were 4. Then, and actual airplane passed through my area of vision 
(flying much lower than the objects) and as it did, the objects disappeared 
totally.  After the plane had been left for about a minute, one UFO 
reappeared and continued to dance around, and another one appeared.  
Sometimes there were two.  During the course of this, I stood up to observe, 
and sat down, and laid back down, just to make sure I wasn't contorting my 
body in a way that was effecting my vision.  But, these objects were clearly 
in focus.  Finally, I decided I had seen enough and wanted to leave.  I NEVER 
thought I would ever see anything like this. There was no other explanation 
for what I saw today.  Two minutes later, I developed a very bad inner ear 
ache that lasted about a half hour.  I don't know if its related, but just 
thought I'd mention it.  Thanks to NUFORC www.ufoctr.com

MINNESOTA UFOs VIDEO TAPED 

ST. PAUL--M. J. Ruben writes, "We have received two incredible UFO video 
clips for analysis at the Alien Abduction Experience and Research web site 
from MUFON."  Darryl Djos of Minnesota took both videos.  The first video 
clip taken October 11, 1999, shows a UFO at night, with two square lights on 
the same side.  The UFO is rotating silently in a counterclockwise direction 
and is hovering several hundred feet in the air above a city street. At 8:51 
PM the UFO emitted a tubular beam of light parallel to the sloped roof of the 
house below.  At that moment, "Beam me up Scotty!" seems appropriate.  
Enhanced still frames from the videotape may be seen at 
http://www.abduct.com/photos/pn003.htm.  The second video clip taken by Mr. 
Djos is of a shape-shifting UFO over St. Paul.  In this video clip, the UFO 
hovers in and out of trees and changes shape five times in 32 seconds.

MUFON State Director for sending in these excellent videos for analysis.  

KANSAS FIRE IN THE SKY  

WICHITA - Jim Hickman reports that on October 13, 2000, large objects with 
lights were observed in the sky over the Midwest.  KSN News Video online and 
other news programs covered the strange sight was seen by hundreds in the sky 
at 7:30 PM.  Witnesses including Jim saw mysterious fireballs in the sky that 
Jim thought were probably Bolides.  Witnesses from Erick, Enid, Clinton, Elk 
City, Blanchard, Alva, Leedy, Oakwood, Choctaw, Mangum, Ringwood, all 
reported sightings."  The object was shown on television and the National 
Weather service and NORAD were contacted.  Several fireball like objects were 
moving in a group and caught on videotape.  Eyewitness's report they saw the 
objects exploding, even raining down sparks.  Many claimed they could hear 
explosions and hissing.  One caller even reported that cars were stopped 
along an Oklahoma highway I-40 and drivers were standing on the side of the 
road watching the fireballs as they passed by.  NORAD said, they are setup to 
track man-made objects and nothing appeared on their radar so it was most 
likely a meteor.  The Infrared Signature of meteors would not necessarily be 
significant enough for NORAD to pick up.  

Editor's Note: If NORAD cannot pick up heavy bolides they are unlikely to 
pick up UFOs entering our atmosphere.  More meteor showers are expected from 
the 10th to the 29th of October, with the heaviest coming down around the 
15th.  There is some speculation that the alien craft penetrate the 
atmosphere at these times. Bolides are sometimes reported hissing, crackling 
and rumbling.  A meteoroid, traveling on a solar orbit before entering the 
Earth's atmosphere, travels at an average speed of 25,000 mph.  Friction 
would slow the speed of the object considerably upon atmospheric entry, but 
the speed would still be very high -- many times in excess of the speed of 
sound.  Since bolides move so fast, its probable that sounds cannot be heard 
from the object until after it has passed.  Bolides sufficiently large to 
reach the ground would be capable of producing a sonic boom.  Some space 
debris such as Skylab Space Station produced multiple sonic booms after the 
debris passed.  

NEW MEXICO MULTIPLE WITNESS TRIANGLE SIGHTING    

ALBUQUERQUE -- Mike Harman reports that a truck driver spotted a huge 
triangle shaped UFO on I-40 on September 26, 2000, about 40 miles southeast 
of Albuquerque.  I had a chance to interview a relative who drives an 
18-wheeler truck who took me along for the ride.  The incident started when 
truckers were reporting on the CB radio about a huge triangle being observed. 
One of the truckers stated that he could clearly see the triangle, and could 
also see bright white lights on each corner of this triangle with a red light 
in the center.  He pulled the rig over and grabbed his 12x50 binoculars and 
observed the object that looked fairly large.  One of the truckers talking 
over the CB radio said the unidentified object was about 10 stories wide and 
20 stories tall.  Making it look taller than wide.  The witness said, "It was 
slightly curved on the top with the point pointing down, with the curved end 
on what he thought was the top of the object."  It was glowing orange white, 
similar to how a light bulb would look if it was turned on in the daylight.

IDAHO FLYING TRIANGLE SIGHTED 

Peter Davenport reports that four out-of-state hunters were camped for a week 
at a remote site in central Idaho on the night of Wednesday, September 27th, 
2000.  They had been in the area for approximately a week, an area where they 
have hunted annually for over two decades, and with which they had become 
very familiar.  At approximately 9:45 PM one of the four men went outside 
their camper to obtain food from a storage locker.  As he approached his 
pickup truck, he seemed to sense that something didn't seem quite right, 
"like a thick blanket suspended overhead," he said.  However, it was not 
until a few seconds later that he realized just how correct his senses were!  
As he stepped up on the rear tire of his truck to reach into the bed, his 
flashlight swept across the clear night sky above him, illuminating something 
very large, and directly overhead.  He immediately glanced up, and was so 
startled by what he saw that he fell to his knees from shock.  He was looking 
at the bottom of a huge, silent, unlighted triangular-shaped object, that was 
sitting motionless in the sky directly above the campground!  His initial 
impression was that the object was at least the size of a football field, 
hundreds of feet on a side.  It had rounded corners, and its skin, where his 
flashlight had swept over one corner of the bizarre object, exhibited 
distinct texture.  It was so large that it seemed to blot out the sky above 
him!  

The witness, 43-years of age, started yelling almost hysterically for the 
others to come outside immediately.  The men in the camper were so alarmed by 
tone in their friend's voice that they rushed for the camper door, expecting 
to see a bear attacking their mules, or some "normal" event-taking place 
outside.  They were not prepared for what they saw.  Fortunately, two of them 
were able to get outside in time to witness the object overhead move slowly 
and silently away from their campground toward a nearby mountain.  Even 
before they had managed to get out the door, however, the object had begun to 
generate a distinct whining sound, at which time lights suddenly appeared on 
the ventral surface.  A large, round, subdued, white light was now plainly 
visible in each of the three corners of the triangle, and a prominent red, 
strobing light was visible in the middle of the ventral surface.  The two 
witnesses who had rushed outside quickly grabbed high-quality binoculars and 
were able to focus on the object long enough to be able to observe it for 45 
to 60 seconds.  

As if the event were not stunning enough already by this time, the object 
proceeded to ascend and maneuver up a narrow canyon in the side of the nearby 
mountain.  They described its motion through the sky as being "like a hockey 
puck gliding over ice," i.e. very smooth and unwavering.  One of the three 
has been a private pilot for over two decades, and he felt certain that it 
was not moving through the atmosphere the way an aerodynamic body would.  
Their sighting stunned the group!  After they had discussed the event for 
several hours, two of the party felt so threatened by the event that they 
decided to leave the area, drive several hours to the nearest major town, and 
spend the night in a motel.  The first witness spent a very uncomfortable 
night, lying awake and thinking about the object.  The next morning, they 
contacted local government offices to report the incident, providing them 
with the coordinates and details of the sighting.  Interestingly, the two men 
who remained at the camp witnessed military jet fighters fly down the valley 
and pass directly over their camp.  They reported that the jets were rocking 
their wings dramatically as they descended down the valley toward their camp. 
 Further investigation into the incident is forthcoming.  Thanks to Peter

TURKEY CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH UFO

H. Bahadýr writes that between 1970 and 1973, when I was very young, "I saw 
seven ships landing in a field."  The ships landed on their main body and had 
no tripods or tires.  I wanted to touch them so I approached one craft.  They 
were so shiny that you could see yourself in the metal like looking into a 
mirror.  I touched the surface of the metal and it was cold, but it sounded 
really thick.  I touched it again, but my hand somehow went into the metal.  
It was not normal metal and my hand felt wet like I was touching water.  
Surprised, I touched it again to try to understand what I was feeling.  I 
felt like my hand was lost in the foggy or gas like metal.  I did not feel 
anything when my hand was lost inside the shape.  My hand felt cold and I 
though to myself, I don't think they use doors.  They change the metal's 
phases in some way so they can move into or out the ship.  Several minutes 
later I heard a buzzing, then no sound.  I could only move my muscles 
slightly and I couldn't hold my eyelids open.  Within a few minutes they were 
gone and the buzzing stopped and I could use my muscles normally.  Thanks to 
H. Bahadýr bhamamcioglu@superonline.com

Editor's Note: Another witness claimed to have had a similar experience but 
indicated it was like putting your hand into a wet sponge.  Although the 
material appears as metal it absorbs objects and repairs itself 
automatically.  The material almost seems alive.  It would be ideal to absorb 
the impact of meteorites in outer space.

GEOLOGISTS SAY "BIG WAVE" COULD HIT THE USA        

"This is not science fiction.  It could happen tomorrow or several decades 
from now--an insignificant piece of time, geologically speaking--but it will 
happen.  The volcano Cumbre Vieja, located on the Atlantic Ocean Island of La 
Palma, is thoroughly unstable and could collapse at any moment."  La Palma is 
the largest of the Canary Islands, located west of Morocco.  "The island 
could split in two.  Half a trillion tons of rock will fall into the sea 
within seconds and form a colossal wave measuring some 1,868 feet or 560 
meters in height traveling westwards at a speed of 720 kilometers per hour 
(432 miles per hour).  A gigantic tsunami will devastate the islands of the 
Caribbean and the Eastern Seaboard of the USA.  Water from the wave could 
penetrate more than 20 kilometers (12 miles) inland."  "This would seem to be 
the plot of a disaster movie, but they are in fact the computations of a team 
of Swiss scientists concerning an advanced geological profiling program.  The 
results have been published in the Journal of Vulcanology and Geothermal 
Research."  "'It could happen at any time, within 10 to 100 years.  But 
please note this: if I lived in Miami or New York, and I heard that Cumbre 
Vieja was erupting, I wouldn't listen to the news a second longer,' Dr. Simon 
Bay of London's University College told the BBC.  La Palma is in a precarious 
geotechnical balance and the Cumbre Vieja volcano, last eruption occurred in 
1971 (See the Spanish newspaper Sociedad for October 6, 2000)  Thanks to 
Scott Corrales and UFO Roundup Editor Joe Trainor.

PRESIDENT KENNEDY BRIEFED ON UFOs

Tim Cooper writes, "When candidate John F. Kennedy won the 1960 presidential 
election on November 7, Allen W. Dulles, then Director of Central 
Intelligence had already briefed Kennedy on three occasions exposing him to 
the world of covert operations of the CIA."  Dulles had already cultivated an 
intellectual relationship with the young Kennedy when Deputy Director of 
Central Intelligence, USAF General Charles P. Cabell briefed him earlier in 
the summer of 1960 on certain political targets deemed critical by President 
Eisenhower to national security.  For young Kennedy, it would be an eye 
opener to the big league game of conspiracy, assassination, and political 
expediency necessary to maintain the US intelligence power structure and the 
cold war diversion required by the military-industrial complex in its ongoing 
MJ-12 scientific and technical black project programs. See,

NASA SHUTTLE MISSION STS-106 RECORDS UFO 

Preliminary reports indicate that the Space Shuttle Atlantis, which was 
launched on September 8, 2000, had first spotted and then filmed a UFO two 
days later.  Cosmic Conspiracies in the UK received an audio record of the 
radio transmissions between the 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." 

Jeff Chandler who obtained the photo of the Cigar shaped UFO writes:  "I 
seriously doubt that the astronauts would need ground permission to take 
pictures of an External Tank which carries the liquid fuel that the orbiter 
burns during the acceleration to orbital velocity.  I see no correlation with 
any unusual UFO event and the radio transmission two days apart.  The 
explanation that the term ET stands for External Tank is the standard NASA 
explanation.  I read it, and looked around for some corroboration.  It does 
make sense given the circumstances and time it was used.  A British ham radio 
operator intercepted the audio, just as Atlantis was passing over the UK 
after lift off and climb to orbit.  This area is where Shuttle always 
jettisons the Tank (it reenters into the Pacific west of Hawaii).  And the 
fact that the nomenclature was settled on in the late 70s (years before the 
Hollywood movie "ET") when the Shuttle program was just getting started.  I 
see too many above board facts to jump to the conclusion that the term ET 
refers to anything else but the external tank.  The cigar shot was taken 
during docking to ISS, and was two days separated from the radio 
interception.  It's awful hard to tie the two incidents together. 

Now if the Shuttle crew had asked MCC's permission to photograph "Santa 
Claus," red flags and alarm bells would be going off all over the place for 
me.  Remember, in this case, these are only my opinions based on past 
experience and observation.  I am not pleased with the way the cigar picture 
is being connected to the audiotape.  Had I known that this would be used in 
such a sensational and imprudent manner, I would have told them they couldn't 
use the picture at all.  Live and learn. I won't be so naive in future.  
Thanks to Jeff Chandler. 

NEW NASA SHUTTLE VIDEO OF UFOs IN SPACE 

Jeff Challender has prepared a new tape of various UFOs that were caught on 
recent Shuttle video footage.  Jeff has noticed that when NASA is picking up 
UFOs they have tendency to first zoom in to observe the UFO better and then 
they cut the feed to the outside world.  Jeff spends hundreds of hours 
watching the shuttle broadcasts from space.  He is now an expert on NASA 
missions and even those onboard the shuttle are unlikely to see what Jeff 
does.  He has gained his experience from watching numerous shuttle missions 
and using Jeff's directions you will be able to learn the difference between 
space junk, ice crystals and real UFOs.  Using his experience you can also 
learn the difference.  One segment has 24 UFOs watching the shuttle from 
space.  I feel confident we could go into a court of law and convince any 
jury that there are UFOs moving at high speed around the Earth.  Send $25 to:
