Featured Articles and Reports

Fielding, Saskatchewan Sighting

The issue leads with a report of a non-meteoritric sighting on November 11, 1989, in Fielding, Saskatchewan. The observers, Les and Bernice Buell, reported seeing a single object hovering about 12 feet in the air, displaying four blue lights that varied in intensity for 5 to 10 minutes. The report was made to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and subsequently filed with the Canadian Government's National Research Council (NRC) in Ottawa. The article notes that such simple forms are merely filed and that none of these cases have been fully investigated by any government department. Pages 3, 4, and 5 are indicated to contain the remainder of the NRC file on this case.

Multiple Witness Sighting Report from NRC Files

• This section highlights several cases from the NRC files, including:
• A mid-air encounter involving four pilots from the Brazilian Air Force.
• An unusual Christmas gift received by a Hungarian individual.
• A multiple-witness case reported in a letter to the editor.
• A report of eleven implants found in a recent scientific paper.
• Revelations from Canada's 'X-Files' concerning UFO sightings.

Brazilian Air Force Captain Among Four Pilots in Mid-Air Encounter

This article, by Pedro Cid of Diario Ilustrado, Rio De Janeiro, details a mid-air encounter that occurred on September 4, 1957, over the Caribbean island of Granada. Captain Lemos Ferreira, leading a squadron of F-84G airplanes with three other pilots (Manuel C.N. Marcelino, Alberto A.P. Covas, and Salvador A. Oliveira), witnessed unusual round light sources. The objects were observed to change shape from circular to oval, lose brightness, and then drop luminous red circles. The objects then flew at incredible speed, confusing the pilots. The Meteorological Observatory of Coimbra registered an extraordinary magnetic field fluctuation at the time, classifying it as a CE2 (Close Encounter of the Second Kind). The article appeared in a November 16, 1957, newspaper and involved interviews with the pilots facilitated by two Generals.

Hungarian Gets Unusual Christmas Gift

Reported by Tarcali Gabor, HUFON, this article details an event that occurred on December 26, 1991, in Bekes, Hungary. The witness, Mr. Istvan Balogh, a 21-year-old border guard, reported seeing a bright, gray, disk-shaped object about four meters in diameter and 2.5 meters high hovering over his courtyard. He felt compelled to go under the UFO, where a ray of light descended. He entered the ray and found himself inside the vehicle, which he described as a single compartment with a window. Inside, he encountered two human-like beings, 120-140 cm tall, with large heads and eyes, and three fingers. Their dress was black and skin-tight, with green skin. One being communicated with Istvan telepathically, stating he had been watched for three years and that their journey was 15 million light years long, shortened by dimension change. The being then emitted a green light onto Istvan's forehead, after which he had fragmented memories of traveling over the Moon and seeing pyramids. He was found on the ground, disoriented, and later declared sane but unfit for military service due to unreliability.

Medically Unexplained Implants in Abductees

This article, by Derrel Sims and Mary Jo Florey, discusses evidence for and implications of medically unexplained implants found in abductees. It presents a table listing various shapes (small round pellet, small oval, small ball multiple cilia, small triangle, flat rod, mustard seed, hollow point cone, biological implant, short twisted fiber rod, hemispherical object, half inch wires) and materials (unknown, pitted dull gray metallic, bright silver metallic, flesh colored flexible plastic, gray colored plastic, porous plastic, dull aluminum color, biochem-carbon-silicon-oxygen, radio opaque like metal) of these implants, along with their reported locations (nose, knee, abdomen, hand, head, testicle, scrotum, nasal septum, lachrymal duct, any area of the body, foot near joint of proximal phalanx of great toe) and references. The authors note that several persons with close encounters have had small pieces of platinum in their body or bones, and that Istvan's case also involved a platinum implant. They suggest that metal implants may play a role and that strange beings are interested in human implants and medical technology.

Letter to the Editor

Written by an unnamed individual on October 30, 1995, this letter expresses the writer's belief in extraterrestrial life, reinforced by recent TV programs and the Roswell incident. The writer shares a personal experience with a friend where they both believe they saw a UFO.

Notes from the Hangar

This section announces the availability of the National UFO Museum's quarterly journal, 'Notes from the Hangar,' which covers UFOlogy, features articles, book reviews, interviews, and Close Encounter Reports. Subscriptions are available to members of the 'Friends of the Museum Association,' and individual copies can be purchased.

E.P. Tapley's Sighting

E.P. Tapley of Pembroke, Ontario, recounts a sighting from the summer of 1965. He and a friend observed a strange object in the night sky that appeared to move out of position and fall towards the trees, stopping above the tree line. They described it as a round white dot with an orangy-red ring in the middle. The object hovered for three to four minutes before shooting straight up and out of sight.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The CUFORN Bulletin consistently explores UFO sightings, close encounters, and the potential implications of these phenomena, including government non-investigation and the possibility of extraterrestrial implants. The editorial stance, as stated in the disclaimer, is that the opinions of contributors are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of the Editor/Publisher or CUFORN. The publication aims to disseminate information and encourage knowledge about UFOlogy, as suggested by its motto: "Crescat scientia vita excolatur" (where knowledge increases, life is ennobled).

Title: CUFORN BULLETIN
Issue: VOL 16, NO. 6
Date: NOVEMBER / DECEMBER 1995

This issue of the CUFORN Bulletin focuses on UFO sightings reported in Canada, dubbing them 'Canada's X-Files.' It details 186 official reports received by police, military, and federal scientists, highlighting various witness accounts and descriptions of unidentified aerial phenomena.

Canada's 'X-Files': UFO Sightings Across the Nation

The main article, "Canada's 'X-Files' reveal UFO sights," published by Canadian Press, details the collection of 186 official UFO reports filed by Canadians. These reports, stored in cardboard boxes at the National Archives in Ottawa, are described as being similar to the popular TV show 'The X-Files,' investigating paranormal phenomena.

The reports are categorized under 'non-meteoric sightings' and include police files, handwritten letters, drawings, and interview transcripts. Most names in the files have been deleted.

Notable Sightings and Witness Testimonies:

• Alberta Sighting: A driver named Dean reported seeing bright lights forming a green, red, and yellow triangle that dimmed and then darted off at high speed near High Prairie.
• North Vancouver Stargazer: A veteran stargazer reported a dark, arrowhead-shaped object, described as three times the size of a jumbo jet, with orange-yellow lights at the tips. The witness noted the incredible speed and lack of sound, stating it was 'certainly no aircraft or weather balloon' and found the experience 'a little disturbing.'
• Langley, B.C. Incident: A woman reported two star-like objects descending and following her car. She pulled over, turned off her lights, and saw the 'stars' take off with three airplanes in pursuit.
• Gimli, Manitoba Sighting: The RCMP received a report from two people who saw a large, white, donut-shaped object with about 12 pulsating lights flying toward Lake Winnipeg. The object was estimated to be about 100 meters in diameter.
• Taharti Lake, Quesnel, B.C. Encounter: A father and son reported seeing a clear, oval-shaped object, about the size of a car, hover over Taharti Lake for three minutes before speeding off. They returned to their cabin and told three companions. Oddly, all five later realized they had 'lost' a day, with two discovering it was July 23rd when they had seen the object on July 22nd, and others hearing on the radio that it was the 24th when they had seen it on the 23rd.
• Nova Scotia Sighting: A woman driving to Halifax and her passenger saw a dark, diamond-shaped craft with a detailed pattern of white lights. It hovered noiselessly for a couple of minutes before speeding off to the west.
• Pilot's Report: The pilot of a Boeing 767 traveling from Vancouver to London reported seeing an object fly parallel to his plane, which was so bright at one point that it lit up the cockpit.
• Lynn Lake, Manitoba Fireball: Two observers reported a green fireball falling slowly from the sky. The constable noted that meteorites and northern lights had been seen in the area recently. The constable also detected the unmistakable odor of marijuana while taking the witness statements.

Nature of the Reports:

The reports are described as including neatly typed police files, handwritten letters, drawings, and interview transcripts. They cover 'celestial oddities' across the country.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring theme is the official documentation of UFO sightings in Canada, suggesting a level of seriousness and investigation into these phenomena by governmental and scientific bodies. The magazine presents these reports as factual accounts, drawing parallels to popular culture's interest in the unexplained. The editorial stance appears to be one of presenting documented evidence and encouraging further investigation or public awareness of these events.
