UFO REPORTS INCREASE IN SPACE, FROM AIRCRAFT AND ON THE GROUND
The new year brings spectacular Disc shaped UFO reports in Chile, Michigan, 
Arizona, Oregon and England.  Flying Triangle reports come in from New 
Jersey, Alabama, and Georgia, maneuvering lights are reported in Florida, 
Indiana, Texas, and United Kingdom.  

OREGON DISC WITH LIGHTS SEEN BY CREW CHIEF

ROGUE RIVER -- In one of the best reports I've received recently an SR-71 Air 
Force Crew Chief phoned to tell me he and his family of four had a witnessed 
a disc shaped UFO outside their home around 8:30 PM on both February 21st, 
and 22nd, 2001.  It started when he noticed a bright light at the top of the 
mountain behind his home.  Since the nearest airport is 35 miles south in 
Medford, he thought it was strange to see a plane with its landing lights on. 
 The home is located in a rural area with two mountains behind the house, one 
2000 feet and the other 3500 feet high.  Twenty minutes later he looked out 
again and saw the lights were still there.  Grabbing his binoculars he was 
able to get an excellent view of the craft that was flying lower toward his 
home.  At first, he noticed a bright diamond shaped light that at first 
didn't move.  Then it started getting lighter and brighter and smaller and 
bigger.  It started moving down a hill.  Then it stopped.  Then it got 
lighter, brighter, smaller and bigger.  Then it went back up the hill and 
seemed to stop.  It kept on doing it over and over.  The disc shaped UFO flew 
down the side of the mountain and moved at its closest about 400 yards away.  
The disc was almost as large as his fist at arm's length.  It had four 
triangular shaped panels or windows in a X pattern.  Two panels were above 
the rim and two were below emitting light.  The disc was made of a grayish 
metallic material.  The Crew Chief assured me he had never seen a craft in 
the Air Force or any where remotely similar.  The craft slowly climbed in 
altitude up the side of the mountain sweeping its bright lights appearing to 
be searching for something.  The red glowing lights appeared to emit flares 
as it slowly flew up the side of mountain very close to the trees.  Radio 
towers are on the top of the mountain.  

The following night there was a similar bright diamond shaped light in the 
northwest sky just above the ridge line in the back of their home.  They 
watched the light pull apart from the sides and pull back together several 
times.  The light divided and a separate bright red light came from the north 
and pulled up next to the bright light.  The second hovered for almost ten 
seconds and zigzagged off to the south very quickly.  The bright light 
hovered and then maneuvered and suddenly disappeared.  The object followed 
the ground to the top of the ridge and went over the top and stopped just on 
the other side.  It stayed there for about 5 minutes and was gone. My son 
yelled, "Look to the right." The UFO was moving left, right up and down with 
terrific speed. It was not a helicopter or plane and there was no sound what 
so ever.  Insects, frogs, and other animals started to make sounds only after 
the UFO left.  They saw the object for 15- 20 minutes.  The Crew Chief's 
eleven year old son said, "The UFO was cool and awesome!"  

Editor's Note:  Several elk herds live in the mountains and the UFO crew may 
have been searching for food.  In Oregon there have been reports of UFOs 
picking up elk and abducting them.  The witness also reported the sighting to 
Peter Davenport who also felt he was a high quality witness.  

CHILE,  PILOTS SPOT GIANT SILVER SAUCER  

ANTOFAGASTA -- Two airborne jetliners spotted a giant silver UFO hovering at 
an  altitude of 18,000 meters (60,000 feet) near the city of Antofagasta in 
Northern Chile.  "A feeling of disquiet and consternation spread over much of 
Chile's Second Region, including large cities such as Calama and Antofagasta, 
due to the sighting of an unidentified flying object around 11:00 AM on 
Friday, February 16, 2001.  "The phenomenon was even observed by commercial 
aircraft when flight paths brought them close to it."  "Witnesses identified 
it as a small silver dot towards the west of El  Loa's provincial capital," 
Antofagasta, "which remained initially still and with a swinging motion"  
"Many tried to see but were themselves thwarted in the pursuit of this goal 
as the object was some distance from the city.  Nonetheless, others were able 
to see it both unaided and with binoculars."

"Air traffic control personnel from the Cerro Moreno Airport followed the 
UFO's movements through accounts from the airline pilots."   "Two of the 
three airliners crossing the city witnessed the  object.  These were 
LAN-Chile Flight 560, and Avant Airlines Flight 471.  The event took place at 
around 11:00 AM, had a total duration of between 20 and 30 minutes, being 
first noticed by LAN-Chile Flight 560 after establishing visual contact with 
a shiny, oval object of incredible size.  This was immediately relayed to the 
Air Traffic Control Center in Santiago de Chile and was picked up on their 
radar screens, which have nationwide coverage.  "The phenomenon was also seen 
by Calama airport's control tower since 10:45 AM who saw an oval, shiny 
object.  Avant Airlines Flight 471,  flying between Calama and Antofagasta 
reported the object to the regional capital's air facility.  The UFO was 
'flattened and elongated, like two plates facing each other,' and was seen 72 
miles north of Antofagasta at Vector 350.  "Airport personnel explained that 
'Radar systems filter information, otherwise even cars could show up onscreen 
as well as air traffic moving slower than the stipulated speed.  Nelson Lope, 
Cerro Moreno's airport manager, confirmed the object's presence and noted 
that two commercial flights flying over the Pacific Ocean picked up the 
apparition without being able to identify it.  He added that the airspace 
occupied by the UFO contained heavy clouds, which did not allow for a more 
objective interpretation.  He discarded the weather balloon theory.  "The UFO 
was tracked by radar operators of the Fifth Air Brigade of the Fuerzas Aereas 
de Chile the Chilean Air Force based at Cerro Moreno."  (See the newspaper La 
Estrella del Loa for 2/17/01,  Thanks to Scott Corrales, and UFO ROUNDUP, 
Volume 6 #8 2/22/01, Editor: Joseph Trainor    

Editor's Note:  It is refreshing to see that UFOs are freely reported by the 
news media, airline crews and radar in Chile.  Despite frequent sightings in 
the US everyone involved seems afraid to report these incidents, even when 
crashes or our aircraft occur.  

UNITED KINGDOM HAS 21st UFO REPORT

LEICESTER, ENGLAND -- Andy Seaton reports that, "On the morning of January 
24, 2001, I woke at 05:10 AM, sitting up and looking out through our East 
facing window (we sleep with curtains open).  I observed what I first took to 
be a star, my attention was drawn by its unusual sparkling appearance akin to 
a fireworks sparkler.  It then began to move in a very jerky fashion, not 
unlike the flight of a butterfly.  The general direction of movement was 
south to north.  The morning was not yet fully light.  There was only a 
little wispy cloud above the object.  I woke my wife (a skeptic) who, when  I 
showed her, had to agree it was indeed a UFO.  We continued to observe until 
it disappeared traveling northward.  The whole sighting lasted about five 
minutes.  I have had an interest in UFO's since I was a child, but this is my 
first definite sighting.  Thanks to Andy Seaton  seatonaj@lineone.net.  

DERBYSHIRE DALES - Farshores reports the February 15, 2001, the Matlock 
Mercury Newspaper reports that close encounters continue in Dales as the 
national media picks up on the long string of UFO stories.  Last week, 
sightings including the videotape episode in Bonsall were reported by the 
Daily Mail, Channel Five and BBC News.  Now the Mercury has received word of 
another close encounter - the 20th sighting since the first back in 
September.  Paul Hannan (37) of Yeld Close, Bakewell saw a dome-shaped craft 
at around 8:00 PM on February 3.  "It was over Haddon," he said, "more or 
less on the Manchester flight path.  "I shouted to my wife, 'Look at this 
bright light out here!'   Mr Hannan, who saw a similar object in Bakewell 
during the mid-1900s said the craft was a brilliant white light in the sky.  
Through the binoculars, he could see the light gradually fade.  

TANSLEY -- The 21st sighting surrounds a Wirksworth couple who saw a large 
blue light with an orange tail which shot across the night-sky.  The man was 
going for a walk with his girlfriend on Summer Lane, at about 7:30 PM last 
Thursday when they saw the strange light.  He said: "At first I thought it 
was a plane crashing - it is the funniest thing I have ever seen.  "It had a 
massive glowing tail at the back of it - but it went far too fast for a 
plane.  "My friend also saw it."  Thanks to farhores@inorbit.com (farshores)

SWEDISH GLOWING CYLINDER

GOTHENBURG --At the age of 12, the witness reports I saw a big cigar shaped 
UFO moving slowly and silently following a horizontal path over Gothenburg.  
I was with my parents , and also joined by 3 adult neighbors.  It was silver 
colored and reflected the light of the afternoon sun.  About every 10 seconds 
it lit up completely like a light-bulb and ten seconds later, the light was 
turned off and it was again silver colored.  We saw no lights, windows or 
fins on the cigar- it was completely smooth.  No sound.  After about 5-10 
minutes it suddenly turned around, and took off in the direction from where 
it had come. The speed was now accelerating and it went from horizon to 
horizon in a few seconds.  Thanks to MUFON Worldwide Data Base

PRESIDENT CARTER'S EYES TEAR OVER UFOs

Art Greenfield writes, "In your Filer's Files # 7 on 2/13/01 is the report of 
the call to Larry King's show where Shirley MacLaine was asked about what 
President Carter had told her about UFOs?  I was that caller."  The story of 
this is in my soon to be printed book.  Additionally, when I first called in 
to the show and told the call screener what I was going to ask Shirley, the 
screener said: "Larry is going to love this!!!"  I followed up with a letter 
to President Carter himself, asking him to reveal what he knew to the public, 
but I have not had a response.  A year of so later when President Carter was 
a guest on the Larry King Show, I called in and told the call screener I 
wanted to ask the President what he had told Shirley MacLaine about the 
government knowing about aliens and recovered UFOs was true?   The screener 
said that President Carter had told them he would only answer questions about 
his new book.  But that was not the end of the story.  Just a few months 
before Art Bell retired, he read a news wire item at the beginning of his 
show.  Art said that former President Jimmy Carter had been at a book store 
in Oregon for a book signing on his new book.  A man in line to get his book 
autographed asked President Carter about his campaign promise that if 
elected, he would look into what the government knew about UFOs and aliens.  
Art Bell said, "President Carter just looked at the man and did not answer in 
words.  "Tears sprang from his eyes."  Thanks to Art Greenfield Cocoa, FL

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 over an hour long tape of UFOs shot 
in space.  Jeff spends hundreds of hours watching the shuttle broadcasts from 
space and is now an expert on NASA missions and even those onboard the 
shuttle are unlikely to see what Jeff does.  Using Jeff's directions you will 
be able to learn the difference between space junk, ice crystals and real 
UFOs.  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: Jeff Challender
