Cover Story

The cover of the January-February 1999 issue of the CUFORN Bulletin prominently features a UFO photograph taken by Jacques Lavoie of Ile Perrot, Quebec, on March 11, 1978. The photo, taken at Baskatong Reservoir in northern Quebec, was part of a series of four pictures and has reportedly been authenticated. A close-up of the object is also shown.

Editorial: Irony Upon Irony for UFO Groups

Lawrence J. Fenwick, in his editorial, speculates on the potential disbandment of UFO groups as the year 2000 approaches. He links this possibility to the Y2K computer bug, suggesting that a widespread failure of computer systems and electricity could revert society to a pre-technology age. Fenwick posits that the very technology (computers and the internet) that UFO enthusiasts rely on for data could become useless, thus rendering UFO groups obsolete. He draws a parallel to the Roswell incident and Ken Arnold's 1947 sighting, which initially spurred interest in UFOs and led to the formation of groups. The editorial concludes with a sense of irony, as the technological advancements that facilitated ufology might also lead to its demise. Fenwick mentions purchasing candles as a precaution.

CUFORN Staff and Services

The issue lists the CUFORN Staff, including Co-Directors Joseph Muska!, Lawrence Fenwick, and Harry Tokarz, along with various consultants and staff members with expertise in fields such as nuclear physics, psychology, and aeronautics. It also advertises special offers, including a rare "UFO Pulse Analyzer" index and a complete index for "Situation Red-The UFO Siege." A "UFO Service" is offered, providing an "Enlarged Listing of 162 sources of worldwide UFO Information" for a fee. The National UFO Museum is also seeking information from the public regarding UFO sightings and alien contact.

CUFORN Recruits Distinguished Psychotherapist

Lawrence J. Fenwick announces that CUFORN now offers the services of Dr. Adam Crabtree, Ph.D., a psychotherapist specializing in dissociation and multiple personality. Dr. Crabtree has offices in downtown Toronto and charges $90.00 per hour. His published works include "Multiple Man: Explorations in Possession and Multiple Personality" and "From Mesmer to Fraud: Magnetic Sleep and the Roots of Psychological Healing."

Letters to the Editor

Mr. Jean Bastide from Aix-en-Provence, France, questions the "revelations" of Dr. Michael Wolf and Colonel Robert Dean, suggesting that ufology is being deliberately sabotaged by secret service agents who want to create the impression of control through "reverse engineering" of UFOs, implying that crashed UFOs are bogus. The editor, Lawrence J. Fenwick, responds by defending the credentials of individuals like Col. Dean and Dr. Wolf, stating they are not secret service agents. He references the work of Paul Hill, an aerospace engineer and author of "Unconventional Flying Objects," who believed UFO technology is attainable and explainable through physics. Fenwick also notes that Robert Lazar only claimed attempts at reverse engineering at Area 51, not full control.

Article: Airline Pilots Sight UFO Near Boston August 9, 1997

This section details research by Mr. Jean Bastide concerning a UFO sighting near Boston, Massachusetts, on August 9, 1997. Bastide utilized the U.S. Freedom of Information Act to obtain information. Swissair provided a description from their pilots, who identified the object as white, either long-shaped or round, and travelling at high speed. No smoke or fire was detected, and the object was not detectable by radar. The pilots could not identify it, and it was unlikely to be a weather balloon. Swissair declined to publish the pilots' names.

Article: A 1935 Abduction Case from Northern Ontario

Authored by an abductee identified as "George David Carol," this article recounts a childhood experience of abduction. The narrative describes events that occurred in the summer of 1935 at a cottage on Lake Nipissing. The abductee describes being taken from his bed and subjected to a physical examination involving "fast moving fingers" and a hose-like instrument. The experience is described as memorable, with multiple subsequent encounters over the years. The abductee mentions drawing a picture of a "grey" in 1942 and speculates about humans and "Greys" being related or cross-bred.

Article: Daylight Disc Sighting by Member in Toronto

Garfield Bowser reports a sighting on February 3, 1999, in downtown Toronto. He observed a wingless, noiseless craft approximately 300 feet long and 50 feet high, with a nubbin on top. The object was seen at 10:15 a.m. for 35 seconds, moving east at an estimated 400 mph at an altitude of 10,000 feet. It appeared very silver, pointy-rounded at both ends, with no tail fins. The object's elevation was 15 degrees from the horizontal, and it traversed 25 degrees in 30 seconds. Bowser, with five years of experience in the aircraft industry, states the object was unlike any craft he had observed before.

Article: Encounter at Three-Mile Lake -- Startling Implications

This report, by Neptune Research Organization Field Investigators Harry Tokerz and Wayne Forsyth, details an interview with Robert Suffern concerning a Close Encounter, Type III, on his property near Three-Mile Lake, Ontario, on October 5, 1975. Suffern and his wife claimed that in December 1975, RCAF, USAF, and US Navy officers met with him and implied that governments have known about UFOs and their occupants since 1943 and have been cooperating with aliens. The officers apologized for an occupant sighting, attributing it to a mistake, though Mrs. Suffern later called it a UFO malfunction. The Sufferns had experienced three sightings, with the officers providing exact times. The Sufferns stated they were not bound by the Official Secrets Act but intended to keep the facts secret for "moral reasons" and to comply with government wishes. They reported that the military referred to the occupant as a "humanoid" and claimed awareness of all UFO sightings in advance. The Sufferns were offered a fortune for media cooperation but were advised against it. They also reported threats from an unknown source. Suffern later saw a craft descend again near the occupant.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The bulletin consistently explores UFO sightings, alleged government knowledge and cover-ups, and the potential for extraterrestrial contact. There is a strong emphasis on eyewitness accounts and investigative efforts, such as the use of Freedom of Information Act requests. The editorial stance, as seen in Lawrence Fenwick's response to Mr. Bastide, defends the credibility of UFO researchers and experts while acknowledging the complexity and potential for misinformation within the field. The Y2K issue is presented as a unique threat to the future of ufology itself. The publication also serves as a platform for members to share their experiences and research.

Title: CUFORN BULLETIN
Issue: JANUARY-FEBRUARY, 1999
Volume: 11
Date: January-February 1999
Publisher: CUFORN
Country: USA
Language: English

This issue of the CUFORN Bulletin delves into several intriguing UFO-related accounts and theories, focusing on a detailed report of an encounter at Three Mile Lake, discussions on government secrecy, and a peculiar incident involving a Dutch motorist.

Encounter at Three Mile Lake (Concluded)

The article continues the account of an encounter at Three Mile Lake. The witness, Robert Suffern, believes that the craft picked up an occupant. He described the occupant as wearing a glowing silver, one-piece suit and a bubble-type helmet. The occupant moved with apparent weightlessness, vaulted over a fence, and disappeared into the dark. Suffern and his wife claim that their questions to authorities were answered with precise statements that verified their suspicions, though they felt the government's story would be unbelievable if told publicly. They believe they were entrusted with this information because the landing was not supposed to have occurred, and their psychological state was deemed acceptable.

The authors, Harry Tokarz and Wayne Forsyth, conclude that their in-depth discussion with the Sufferns over five hours suggests the account is truthful and its implications are unnerving.

Alien Mind Control and Government Secrecy

Robert Suffern posits that alien mind control may have been the cause of the Second World War. This assertion is linked to information allegedly provided to a CUFORN member in 1982 from MJ-12 sources. The article recounts how this information was inadvertently revealed by a member who spoke in his sleep, overheard by a skeptic. The MJ-12 data was reportedly obtained by a Colonel rebelling against secrecy within MJ-12, who gave the information to the CUFORN member in Arizona. A Canadian Air Force Base Commander recognized an MJ-12 code phrase, "failed experiment," when mentioned by a CUFORN member.

UFO Disabled Dutch Motorist's Car

This section, sourced from UFO ROUNDUP, details an incident from August 1998 involving Joost van F. in the Netherlands. While letting his dog run in a nature park near Zaandam, his Opel Kadett engine suddenly shut down. As he stopped the car, he felt a presence, turned, and saw two bright lights ascend vertically into the sky at high speed. The engine started again a few minutes later. Joost van F. was driving at approximately 5 kilometers per hour when the engine cut out, and the road was dry.

Milestone in UFO studies published on floppy disc

This article announces the compilation of extensive UFO research by James M. McCampbell onto an IBM 3 ½" diskette. McCampbell, Director of Research for Mutual UFO Network, Inc. from 1975-93, has gathered his writings, originally published in his book 'UFOlogy, New Insights From Science And Common Sense' over two decades ago. The research focused on analyzing UFO reports and seeking scientific explanations, using experimental data to detail complex electromagnetic fields related to UFO propulsion. The diskette contains chapters on general UFO problems, car engine interference, radio effects, human body changes, and social issues concerning scientists' attitudes, public opinion, communication with ETs, and UFO influence on society. The diskette, titled 'UFOlogy 11: Some Final Answers,' is available from Digital Books for $10, with an additional $1.50 for foreign orders.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around unexplained aerial phenomena, the nature of consciousness and its potential manipulation (alien mind control), and the persistent question of government secrecy surrounding UFOs. The editorial stance appears to favor in-depth investigation and the presentation of witness accounts, while also exploring theoretical explanations and the dissemination of research findings through accessible formats like digital diskettes. The publication seems committed to exploring the scientific and social implications of UFO phenomena.
