the apro bulletin

Magazine Overview

This issue of "the apro bulletin" (Vol. 32, No. 11), published in May 1985 by the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization, Inc. (APRO), focuses on "MULTIPLE SIGHTINGS IN NEW YORK." The bulletin also includes a section on "UFOhio SYMPOSIUM PAPERS" and an "EXPLANATION AND APOLOGY" regarding publication delays.

UFOhio Symposium Papers

A list of papers presented at the APRO UFOhio Symposium in June 1981 is provided, with prices for copying. These include titles such as "Old Magic and New" by Robert F. Creegan, Ph.D.; "The Roswell Investigation, Update and Conclusions" by William L. Moore; "The Interrupted Journey Continued" by Betty Hill; "UFO Activity and Human Consciousness" by R. Leo Sprinkle, Ph.D.; "The Night Surgeons" by Peter A. Jordan; "E.T.H. - Completing the Jigsaw" by L.J. Lorenzen; "UFO - The Cosmic Watergate” by Stanton T. Friedman; and "Sociological Aspects of UFO Research" by Peter Van Arsdale, Ph.D.

Explanation and Apology

The editorial team apologizes for the delayed publishing schedule, attributing it to ongoing health problems among key APRO headquarters personnel. They express hope for improvement and announce that the next issue will feature a report from Korea, a letter from Aime Michel, and two thought-response cases from California and China.

Multiple Sightings in New York

This section details several UFO-related incidents and investigations in New York. Field Investigator Dick Ruhl and his team are mentioned for their work on the "Stormville Pilots" case. The report highlights Irene Lunn's sighting on August 20, 1984, in Mahopac Falls, where she observed a large, triangle-shaped object with colored lights that hovered and maneuvered near her home. She described the object as dark grey to almost black, solid, and metallic, and noted a second, rectangular UFO that appeared later. The account includes her emotional response and subsequent thoughts.

Another report details an incident involving a Soviet airliner allegedly escorted by a UFO. An Aeroflot flight approaching Minsk was reportedly accompanied by a large, unblinking star that emitted a ray of light, causing unusual readings on ground control screens. The report quotes a "Soviet scientist" from the newspaper TRUD, who labels the event as "undoubtedly abnormal." The incident is further discussed with information from Nikolai Zheltukhin, a Soviet scientist, who acknowledges the occurrence as of interest and notes similar cases known to a state commission. The article contrasts this with the Soviet Union's past investigations into UFOs and a 1981 documentary that disputed the existence of UFOs.

Pat Norris Dream Material

This segment discusses the experience of Pat Norris, who claimed to have had a close encounter with a UFO on February 3, 1983. The bulletin presents details of her dreams following the alleged sighting, as transcribed by Field Investigator Ed O. Brown. Norris describes vivid dreams involving lights, a silver-barked tree, and a gold-leafed top, followed by a dream of being on a circular table or cross, undergoing an examination. She recounts sensations of warmth, tingling, and emotional responses, including feelings of trauma and sadness, and a physical sensation of her heart fluttering. She also describes a dream involving rods being inserted into her body and a tingling sensation, particularly behind her ear, which she relates to a release of pressure after the sighting.

Anomalous Aeroforms and Intelligence Interests

Authored by Robert F. Creegan, Ph.D., this article discusses the challenges in detecting anomalous aeroforms (UFOs) due to limitations in computer programs and detection systems. It highlights that erratic UFO tracks may not be processed or recorded. The article touches upon stealth technologies and electromagnetic (EM) effects that can immobilize response mechanisms. It references a case where a Nike Missile Launcher failed in the presence of a UFO and a 1980 incident at Kirtland Air Force Base where electrical systems went down during a reported landing. The author notes reports of directed rays from anomalous aeroforms but no authenticated cases of destruction, though rumors exist. The article also discusses the immobilization of the human body by directed rays and induced partial paralysis. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of critical thinking regarding UFO problems and their implications for public enlightenment and the survival of civilization.

Press Reports

This section compiles various UFO sighting reports from different locations:

• Australia: Reports from Ballarat, Victoria, describe "flying H's" and objects with "double hyphen" shapes. A case in Murray Bridge, South Australia, involves a car engine and lights dying near a circular glow in the sky. In Turkey Creek, N.S.W., an oval-shaped craft the size of a football field was sighted by over 200 people, and linked to a child's sleepwalking behavior. In Adelaide Hills, farmers reported mutilated animal corpses and burn marks, possibly related to UFO sightings.
• Pennsylvania: Residents of Kiski Valley reported numerous sightings of unidentified objects, including green lights and objects with red, white, and green lights. In Vandergrift, police and a resident observed three moving objects with colored lights, one described as "perfectly square."
• New Jersey: Multiple calls reported a large, round flying object with spinning yellow lights hovering over Asbury Park, causing loud noise.
• England: A set of five perfect circles was found in a Hampshire barley field, visible only from the air. Another set of rings was discovered in a cornfield at High and Over. In York, two men believe a UFO attack may have been responsible for a fire at York Minster, describing a flame-colored object with a vapor trail.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include detailed eyewitness accounts of UFO sightings, investigations into specific cases, and reports from various geographical locations. The APRO Bulletin maintains a stance of documenting and presenting these phenomena, often with detailed descriptions of the objects, their behavior, and witness reactions. The publication also includes scientific and investigative perspectives, as well as personal accounts and dream analyses related to UFO experiences. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious inquiry into unexplained aerial phenomena, encouraging critical thinking and public awareness.
