Magazine Overview
This is a special double issue of the CUFORN BULLETIN, covering May, June, July, and August of 1999. The publication, from the CUFORN Research Network based in Downsview, Ontario, Canada, announces that this will be the last issue of the Bulletin for the foreseeable future. The cover prominently features a report on a daylight disc UFO videotaped in Mexico on July 7, 1999, originating from the 'Sightings' website run by Jeff Rense.
Feature Article: Terrific Mexico UFO Daylight Live TV Photos
The lead story details a significant UFO sighting that occurred in Monterrey, Mexico, on July 7, 1999. The event was captured live during a weather report by TV Azteca. Santiago Yturria Garza, a UFO researcher, reported the incident, which involved a friend, Fernando Von Rossum, a UFO researcher and TV journalist. They were invited to the TV Azteca studios by news producer Jorge Lugo to view the original Betacam video. The footage showed a disc-shaped object that initially appeared static before moving and changing shape to oval, reflecting sunlight. The news casters, Luis Padua and Leticia Benavides, reported on the live event, which generated numerous calls from the public who also witnessed the object. The analysis of the original video, using Avid enhancement and zooming, revealed an unknown halo around the flying disc, described as 'ionized energy.' The article notes that July has been a month with significant UFO activity in Monterrey.

Article: UFOs, The Official Secrets Act, And The Joint Intelligence Committee - A Breakthrough
This article by Nick Redfern, with contributions from Mark Hall, investigates the potential use of the Official Secrets Act (OSA) by the British Government to suppress information regarding UFOs. Redfern presents evidence from declassified documents obtained from the Public Record Office (PRO) at Kew. He references his previous book, 'A Covert Agenda,' which cited testimony suggesting the OSA was used to conceal UFO truths.
New findings from a file titled 'UFO Policy' (1958-1963) reveal a secret-level document from December 1960 circulated within the Royal Air Force (RAF). This document outlined procedures for military radar operators and pilots in case of UFO sightings, including diverting military aircraft for investigation. Crucially, it emphasized preventing media and public disclosure, stating that unauthorized disclosures would be viewed as offenses under the OSA. This indicates that the UFO issue was indeed covered by the OSA until the formation of the Ministry of Defence (MoD) in April 1964.
The file also references a pre-1959 study of the UFO mystery conducted by the British Government's Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC). The JIC's membership includes high-level personnel from the MoD, Treasury, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, M15, M16, and the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ). The article notes the secrecy surrounding this JIC investigation, suggesting a high level of compartmentalization. Redfern is actively seeking to resolve issues related to this investigation and its potential bearing on allegations of direct UFO studies by GCHQ, M15, and M16.
News Clipping: Riddle of a silver UFO 'the size of a battleship'
A news clipping from the Daily Mail (27.04.99), sent by Jean Bastide, reports on a UFO sighting. A pilot on a private charter flight between Sweden and Humberside reported a silver, pencil-thin craft the size of a battleship at 28,000ft above the North Sea. The cockpit was immersed in incandescent light for ten seconds. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and the Ministry of Defence (MoD) confirmed awareness of the sighting but denied investigating it. The pilot, from the Luton-based airline Debonair, described the object as having square windows along its fuselage and a 'big red light.' Other aircraft also reported seeing it moving at high speed or static.
Article: DR. MICHAEL WOLF: INSIDE LOOKING OUT
This extensive interview with Dr. Michael Wolf, conducted by Kerry M. Knight, reveals his background as a former Alpha-com Team Leader, Area-51 employee, National Security Council Consultant, and independent contractor for the CIA and NSA. Dr. Wolf claims his bosses at the National Security Council wanted him to generate a controlled leak of information about UFO reality and extraterrestrial contact, including government involvement.
Dr. Wolf holds Ph.D.s in theoretical physics and neurology. His primary work involved a new theory on Wave Particle Duality. He also specialized in pathology and pursued expertise in Extraterrestrial Biological Entities (EBEs) for the US Exobiology program. His academic achievements include computer science, molecular computing, and organic chemical reactions capable of billions of calculations per cycle.
His book, 'The Catcher's of Heaven,' published by Dorrance Publishing Company Inc., is described as a 'fictious' account. Dr. Wolf explains that it had to be published under fiction to acquire copyrights, as his bosses at the National Security Council would not permit its release otherwise. He states he makes no profit from the book, with proceeds going to the Daniel Wolf Memorial Foundation for Children, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.
Despite criticism from Stanton Friedman, Dr. Wolf asserts the credibility of his claims, noting he has received verification of his attendance at MIT and McGill Universities. He attributes his access to information to his top-secret clearance.
Dr. Wolf recounts being 'noticed by the government as a child,' which foreshadowed his later work. He expresses a desire to reveal truth and states, 'I don't speak down to people. I speak to people. I'm not a ufologist. I am a scientist.' He views spirituality as the opposite coin of science and suggests that if something cannot be seen, felt, or measured, it doesn't exist, referencing Dr. Hynek's eventual admission that UFO experiences are both physical and psychical.
He mentions a conversation with Sandy Sandburg, a radio host, about a startling event on a NASA space mission. Dr. Wolf claims that an ex-NSA member, his mentor's grandson, knew about a 'monolith' recovered and witnessed from space by Apollo 10 astronauts. He describes this object as a 'postcard from the edge,' the rim of the galaxy. He states that he, his mentor (head of counter-intelligence), and Carl Sagan all developed cancer after viewing it, with two of them having died. He believes this object was a hint that humanity is not alone but also a warning about using cosmic energy.
When asked if the US still possesses the object, Dr. Wolf replied, 'I can't say,' but indicated that people like him begged the government to study and return it, which they refused. He suggests this refusal has caused the earth and moon to be 'off their axes.'
Regarding alien abductions, Dr. Wolf, referencing the work of David Jacobs and Budd Hopkins, suggests that 'organelles' are inserted into people, not for genetic experimentation, but to help them cope with pollution. He believes abductees are upset by the reality being so different from their own, and fear causes pain.
He describes the 'greys,' commonly associated with abductions, as coming from the Zeta system (Reticulum I and II). Contrary to popular belief, he finds them 'lovable' and not inherently evil, stating they 'do not even know what a hidden agenda means.' He contrasts this with the military industrial complex and media conditioning people to fear extraterrestrials.
Dr. Wolf believes there is nothing hostile about the extraterrestrial presence, but acknowledges that some in government would like people to believe otherwise. He mentions numerous species visiting Earth, associated with a 'Federation of Worlds' (FoW), a more civilized and ancient race. The US government has allegedly signed a treaty with these extraterrestrials, with a predetermined landing at Holloman Air Force Base.
He discusses the 'cabal,' a rogue group within the government perpetuating disinformation campaigns about extraterrestrials and controlling SDI to counter UFOs. He cites the STS-48 shuttle incident as an example of hostility demonstrated by scientists using SDI against an object.
Dr. Wolf anticipates a slow process of orchestrated disclosure, with information revealed between 2003-2012. He feels he may have gone too far but is still contacted and briefed, though no longer on payroll. He believes people will know the truth if they open their minds, noting that countries like Belgium and Britain are becoming more open about UFOs, with Russia being even more so.
He states that the Russians had numerous UFO programs but suppressed them, telling individuals to 'shut up' or their grants would be cut. Dr. Wolf believes that 'afology' is not recognized as a science and is often pursued for money or disinformation. He asserts his own goal is enlightenment and wants humanity to evolve beyond its current destructive path, stating the answer to the X-files' question 'is out there' is actually 'right here.'
He addresses accusations of being a disinformation specialist by stating that such a role requires knowing the information to distort it, making it a contradiction. He believes governmental segregation and compartmentalization, particularly within the CIA, contribute to the disarray surrounding the subject. He likens the secrecy of groups like MJ12SSG (Majestic 12 Special Studies Group) to staring through glass without being able to reach the other side.
Dr. Wolf emphasizes that he has never lied and must balance his statements with the line between treason. He expresses concern for the future of humanity and the planet, advocating for a new generation that questions destructive practices.
He reiterates that his book's proceeds go to the Daniel Wolf Memorial Foundation, which funds research for autistic children, Down's Syndrome, pediatric cancer, AIDS, and orphan diseases.
Y2K COMBINATION MEETING AND BULLETIN FAREWELL PARTY
The bulletin announces a potential combined millenium party and farewell to the CUFORN Bulletin in late 1999 in Toronto. Details about cost and potential invitations to UFO enthusiasts are pending. This is stated to be the last CUFORN Bulletin for the foreseeable future.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue are government secrecy surrounding UFO phenomena, the potential use of legal mechanisms like the Official Secrets Act to suppress information, and the exploration of extraterrestrial contact and its implications. The editorial stance appears to be one of advocating for transparency and disclosure, particularly through the detailed interview with Dr. Michael Wolf, who presents himself as a scientist seeking to enlighten the public about these complex issues. The bulletin also highlights the importance of children's future and the need for humanity to evolve.
Title: CUFORN BULLETIN
Issue: MAY, JUNE, JULY, AUGUST, 1999
Volume: 19TH YEAR
Publisher: CUFORN
Country: Canada
Language: English
This issue of the CUFORN Bulletin, dated May, June, July, and August 1999, marks the final publication in its 19th year. The bulletin was first published in 1980, three years after CUFORN was founded.
Latest Revelations from NSC Consultant Dr. Michael Wolf
Authored by Richard Boylan, Ph.D., this article details new information and expanded disclosures from Dr. Michael Wolf, a consultant to the National Security Council's Special Studies Group (MJ-12).
In early 1999, Dr. Wolf revealed that a secret military spacecraft had retrieved an extraterrestrial space beacon, known as The Monolith, from space in 1972. The U.S. study of this powerfully-energized object has allegedly caused the Moon to destabilize by 2% from its normal axis, leading to adverse effects on Earth's climate. Top international security officials, in communication with extraterrestrials, have requested the restoration of the Moon's axis, but the ETs have declined until the U.S. restores the space beacon to its original position. This is presented as consistent with general Extraterrestrial Intelligence (ET) policy of providing advice but not rescuing humanity from its own actions.
Dr. Wolf also stated that there are several large UFOs currently within our solar system. He discussed frequent communications from a humanoid extraterrestrial originating from the Altair system with an experiencer known to the author. Wolf shared that he himself had worked alongside a human-appearing ET from the Altair system and a 'Grey' humanoid scientist from the Zeta Reticuli system in classified government laboratories. He elaborated that Altair's fourth and fifth planets are inhabited, and that people from Altair colonized the Pleiades system long ago. The human-looking Pleiadean extraterrestrials are described as ancestrally Altairians, with two variants: Semitic-looking and Nordic-looking. The 'Semities' are identified as the race that landed at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico in the 1960s and conversed with generals.
Furthermore, Dr. Wolf revealed his experience as a military-intelligence Colonel-physician working with high-ranking military officials who had close extraterrestrial encounters and required counseling to adjust to these paradigm-shattering experiences. The discussion extended to extraterrestrial-human hybrids, genetically engineered by certain ET cultures and more recently by secret U.S. national security projects. Wolf characterized these hybrids as possessing three-helix-strand DNA and fore-lobe brains, and suggested that Jupiter's seventh moon, Furopa, is a place for such hybrids to live.
The conversation also touched upon information from an NSA source regarding the agency's ability to monitor an individual's brainwave and thought activity using special surveillance satellites. Dr. Wolf did not deny this technology, adding that the government can create confabulated memories through drugs like Amytal and microwave scrambling.
Wolf commented on a series of specials about UFOs and ET encounters on the Learning Channel, referring to it as part of the government's 'Processed Release of Information' conditioning program. He and the author debated the pace of public acknowledgment of ET contact, with Wolf arguing that the public is not yet ready and requires more conditioning, while the author disagreed, stating the public is ahead of government estimates.
Wolf noted a division within the national security community: the 'Old Guard' of retiring scientists and officers who want disclosure to happen slowly, and 'The Cabal,' a rogue group of younger generals and intelligence officers who oppose disclosure to maintain their monopoly on ET information and technology. Wolf attributed the firing of a 'Star Wars' weapon at a UFO near the Space Shuttle STS-48 to The Cabal.
The article concludes with a call to action for readers to deluge the White House with demands for official UFO acknowledgment via email or phone.
Bizarre Flying Disc Over Scotland Shakes Witnesses
This report, from The Dundee Evening Telegraph in Scotland, details an unidentified flying object sighted in the Angus skies near Carnoustie on March 13, 1999. Multiple witnesses, including a resident who wished to remain anonymous and a couple from Forfar, reported seeing a strange red disc moving in the sky between 6:30 am and 6:55 am.
Neither the Coastguard nor staff at RAF Leuchars could provide an explanation. One witness described the object as "like nothing I've ever seen before except on the film Armageddon." Another witness, walking their dog with family, described the object as a "red oblong shape" that moved in a way inconsistent with the moon or sun, before disappearing.
The object reappeared later, described as having changed from bright red to orange and being much bigger. A member of the Fife Coastguard stated there were no reports of flares or other lights, and no meteorite activity. A spokesman for RAF Leuchars denied any official aerial activity by personnel from their airbase.
CUFORN Bulletin Ceases Publication
Authored by Lawrence J. (Larry) Fenwick, Editor, this section announces that this issue is the last for the CUFORN Bulletin. The primary reasons cited for its cessation are the decline in membership from a high of 108 in the mid-1980s to 28, attributed to members acquiring computers and no longer needing subscriptions. The publication has relied on donations, with the current trust company account balance being less than $20.00.
Another significant reason is the personal circumstances of the editor and president. Fenwick and his wife moved to Mississauga, Ontario, and can no longer afford the cost of gasoline or time to travel to Toronto for Bulletin expenses and mail. President Joe Muskat also moved, making it inconvenient to manage operations.
Fenwick also mentions his injury in a 1997 train derailment in Toronto and his retirement on a federal pension. His car was damaged in an accident in 1998, and his wife Betty's Ontario government disability payments were cut by 20%. The couple is in debt and facing forced entrepreneurship, with Fenwick attempting to start a business marketing a CD-ROM detailing the history of UFO reports in Canada.
He is seeking investment for this venture and offers a business plan for a potential 45.19% profit after two years. He also offers copies of previous Bulletin issues for $5.00 each, including postage and photocopying.
CUFORN Begins Probe of Two Possible CE4's
The bulletin announces its intention to investigate two potential abduction cases recently reported via phone and mail, one in northern Ontario and another in downtown Toronto.
More Canadian Reports Appear on the Internet
Regular mailings of reports from member Larry Chew of Scarborough are being downloaded from the Internet. These reports, in article form, cover areas in Canada outside southern Ontario and will be included in the CD-ROM being prepared by Larry Fenwick. The CD-ROM's price is $19.98 in the U.S. and $29.98 in Canada.
Crop or Corn Circle Reports "Grow"
A spate of reports of mysterious glyphs in fields in Canada has been noted on the Internet, but not in the major media. The bulletin questions whether this is due to boredom, ignorance, or censorship, and notes that little or no proof of any UFO connection is evident so far.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around government secrecy and disclosure regarding extraterrestrial contact, the nature and origins of UFOs and ETs, and the potential impact of these phenomena on humanity. The editorial stance, particularly from the author of the main article, Richard Boylan, is one of urgency for disclosure and a critical view of government handling of UFO information. The bulletin itself, while ceasing publication, expresses a continued interest in investigating UFO reports and disseminating information, albeit through different means like a CD-ROM.
