This issue of the Long Island U.F.O. Update serves as a special year-end summary report for July through December 1992. The cover prominently features a map of Islip Town, Long Island, New York, with the dramatic headline "ISLIP EXPLODES!", indicating a significant UFO event in the area during August of that year. The publication highlights its return to print after a hiatus caused by a malfunctioning photocopier.

LIUFON News and Membership Updates

The "LIUFON NEWS" section announces the resumption of the newsletter after a crisis involving their photocopier, which had been down for major repairs. The newsletter is now back in business, with this issue being fourteen pages long. LIUFON has welcomed three new investigators: Alan Green, Rick Samundson, and Steve lavarone. The organization has been active in speaking engagements at various libraries, including Islip Library, Glendale Library, and Huntington Beach Club, presenting reports on UFO sightings and the Moriches Bay UFO Crash. They have also been contacted by network television programs like Fox Network's "Sightings" and NBC's "Unsolved Mysteries" regarding cases they have investigated. Despite printing problems, LIUFON's membership increased significantly due to these speaking engagements, with twenty-two new members joining.

The "MEMBERSHIP CORNER" elaborates on the publication's hiatus, attributing it to the photocopier's mechanical and electrical breakdowns. The printing drum was worn out, and LIUFON lacked the capital for repairs. Funds were eventually raised through the sale of material on the South Haven Park Case to Nippon Broadcasting Corporation for a documentary. After approximately $1200 in repairs, the Update is back in production. This issue, though dated, contains current information and was originally intended as the December '92 issue. Future issues are scheduled for December 30th, 1993, and January 30th, 1994, to bring the publication back on schedule. The organization expresses gratitude for members' patient support.

Meetings and Events

The "DDDDDOLF MOLIING" (likely a typo for 'MONTHLY MEETING') reports on the last regularly held meeting on December 4th, 1993, at the Inn at Medford. The meeting included a video on UFO research efforts by Bob Dean and a repeat showing of the slide program on the South Haven Park UFO Crash. LIUFON also held its first Christmas Party, which was a success.

Tragically, the newsletter notes the passing of Ross Andru, an early and devoted member, former APRO member, and supporter of UFO research. Ross Andru was also a nationally known illustrator of Marvel Comic Heroes. In his memory, LIUFON has established the "Ross Andru Award for Investigative Excellence" to be awarded yearly to investigators achieving breakthroughs in UFO research.

The first recipient of this award was LIUFON Investigator Allen Green, honored for his outstanding analysis of video tapes from the South Haven Park UFO Crashes, specifically the photos depicting dead aliens from the Brookhaven Laboratory Crash Site. This is considered a major breakthrough for LIUFON and Allen.

The next membership meeting is scheduled for February 1994 at the Inn at Medford, featuring two video presentations. A "SPECIAL SEMINAR" was scheduled for December 19th at The SunVet Mall in Holtsville, featuring a report on the South Haven Park Crashes and speakers Coleman Von Kirvizcky and Antonio Huneeus.

The Florida Report: UFO Abductions: An In Depth Look

This section, authored by Kelly Freeman, explores the common theory of UFO abductions, suggesting that aliens, referred to as "Grays," conduct genetic experiments by extracting bodily fluids, skin, and tissue samples from abductees. The article posits that these "Grays" may have established bases, possibly underground or in deep ocean areas, for their operations. It questions the necessity of abducting so many humans and the purpose behind these traumatizing experiments. The report speculates on the origin of the "Grays," mentioning the Zeti Reticuli star system, and raises questions about their motives and whether other races on different planets have been subjected to similar experiments. The article also touches upon the varying reported sizes and colors of these "Grays."

Reference Works on UFO Abductions

A list of 14 reference books on UFO abductions is provided, including titles by John G. Fuller, Budd Hopkins, D. Scott Rogo, Whitley Strieber, and others. The section also briefly mentions future topics to be discussed, such as cattle mutilations, implants, reptilian and insect-like abductors, and Nordic-looking aliens.

The National and International UFO Review: South America

This section reports on UFO incidents in South America and Puerto Rico that have not received widespread North American media coverage. It highlights a continuing UFO flap in Puerto Rico since 1989.

Montevideo, Uruguay (10/9/91)

Two alleged UFOs were detected near Carasco airport, possibly attempting to communicate through radar echoes. Uruguayan Colonel Ruben Gomez stated the echoes did not conform to existing clouds. Reporter Freddy Cabrera confirmed the event, noting two strange silhouettes detected over the airport. The control tower operator reported intelligent motion and claimed to have video of the radar screen. Freddy Cabrera stated that something appeared on the radar screens whose source could not be clearly determined. A TV program on channel 12 of Uruguay showed the alleged motion of the radar signals.

A previous event is recalled from June 1, 1979, during the world soccer championship in Buenos Aires, where a "terrible ball of fire" appeared over the Rio de la Plata, causing a temporary blackout of all electronic equipment at the Carasco airport. This was revealed by Omar Yera, a traffic controller, who also confirmed another sighting from Christmas 1990. Yera described a similar event during the inauguration of the 1978 world soccer championships, referring to it as a "terrible ball of fire" that seemed like an atomic explosion, causing all instruments, alarms, and lights at the airport to go blank.

Montevideo, Uruguay (10/19/91)

A second UFO incident occurred at Carasco Airport within ten days. Control tower operators turned on airport lights, mistaking a luminous aerial phenomenon for an approaching aircraft. Control tower operator Luis Ortegui reported seeing an intense light at an altitude of 250 meters, which did not show up on radar and disappeared quickly. This was the second alert in ten days from a qualified observer. Omar Yera, chief of the control tower, had previously presented a TV tape from Christmas showing two UFOs on radar that appeared to communicate with luminous signals. An Argentine UFO expert, Jorge Monsalve, commented that a control tower operator would be a qualified observer for such anomalous incidents. Ortegui rejected possibilities like shooting stars or reflections, stating the observed light was identical to that of a landing plane.

Puerto Rico Reports

Lajas, Puerto Rico (EL VOCERO, SAN JUAN SEPT. 27, 1991)

Despite official denials, a family in Boqueron experienced a strange encounter with an unidentified flying object near Cartegena Lagoon. The head of the family, a member of the Armed Forces, reported seeing a bright light descending rapidly, which he initially thought was a plane. The object, described as rounded and emitting an intense red light, frightened his family. After the object passed noiselessly and disappeared, they found three cats near their car, leading to speculation about extraterrestrials capable of shape-shifting.

Adjuntas, Puerto Rico (El VOCERO, SAN JUAN, OCT. 7, 1991)

Congressman is to pay attention to a letter from Mayor Heriberto Ramos requesting an investigation into UFO sightings in Adjuntas. Wendelle Stevens, a retired US Air Force colonel, is visiting the island to investigate UFO sightings in the Cartegena de Lajas Lagoon, Adjuntas, and Yunque areas. Stevens also plans to investigate the supposed capture of two F-14 planes by a UFO on December 28th, 1988. Residents of Adjuntas continue to report sightings of unusual objects, described as projecting a brilliant light and moving silently. Sightings of UFOs are indicated to occur frequently in this town.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around UFO sightings, abductions, and alleged crashes, with a particular focus on events in Islip Town, Long Island, and international reports from South America and Puerto Rico. There is an underlying suggestion of government awareness or potential cover-up, as seen in the Puerto Rican reports where police and federal officials insist on denying strange occurrences. The publication, LIUFON, appears to be a dedicated organization actively investigating and disseminating information on UFO phenomena, as evidenced by their speaking engagements, membership growth, and the establishment of an award for investigative excellence. The editorial stance is one of active inquiry and reporting on these phenomena, encouraging members and readers to remain vigilant ("Watch the skies everyone").

This document is a "SPECIAL REPORT" from The Long Island U.F.O. Network (LIUFON) detailing "THE SOUTH HAVEN PARK U.F.O. CRASH CASE REPORT". The report announces that LIUFON has evidence of an alien spacecraft crash that occurred on November 24, 1992, at 7:12 P.M. in the area of South Haven Park, Suffolk County, Long Island, New York.

The South Haven Park Crash Incident

LIUFON's investigation, which began in December 1992, was initiated by a report from Mr. Walter Knowles of Mastic Beach, Long Island. Knowles reported witnessing an unusual object, described as tubular with two large bright blue lights on each end and a bright white light in the center, with a dull metallic grey texture. He observed it execute a right-angle turn and tumble end over end into the woods north of Sunrise Highway. Upon impact, the object emitted a powerful white beam of light that illuminated the night sky. Several other motorists witnessed the event, and the light subsided into an amber glow, indicating a fire.

Knowles also reported observing a formation of four large, black military helicopters without visible markings heading towards the impact zone shortly after the crash. Upon returning home, he found no news coverage of any aircraft crash. He later returned to the area with his brother-in-law and encountered a military roadblock on William Floyd Parkway, with personnel in black jump suits and unmarked vehicles. Civilian traffic was being detoured. He was eventually able to reach Gerard Road, where he found a large fire in progress in the woods, emitting a strong odor of burnt insulation.

A second eyewitness, Bob Harrison of Brookhaven Hamlet, reported observing an oval-shaped object passing to the north of the Brookhaven Town Dump on a descending course at 7:15 P.M. on the same evening, leaving a green ionization trail. This object was described as being to the north of Sunrise Highway and not a conventional aircraft.

LIUFON's Investigation and Findings

LIUFON's investigation since December 1992 has revealed several key points:

• Aerial Reconnaissance: Extensive aerial reconnaissance over the park and surrounding areas revealed evidence of significant vehicular traffic in the North West section.
• Agency Contact: Contact with Federal, State, and local agencies, including local Fire Departments, revealed no official record of any incident occurring on the night of November 24, 1992. Suffolk Police, State Police, and Fire Rescue in Yaphank reported no such incident. Park officials stated there had not been a fire in South Haven Park in ten years. Fire departments of Yaphank, Mastic-Shirley, and Brookhaven Hamlet failed to respond to LIUFON's FOIA requests.
• Fire Department Presence: Residents along River Road reported observing fire trucks entering the park that night. LIUFON retrieved Fire Department equipment from a main fire road, identified as similar to equipment used by Brookhaven Hamlet Fire Department. A source from Brookhaven Hamlet Fire Department confirmed their presence to extinguish fires caused by something falling from the sky, stating they were prohibited from speaking about it due to government orders.
• County Wide Alert: A County Wide Alert was reportedly sounded by Suffolk County Police regarding a UFO crash near William Floyd Parkway, instructing units to use land lines for emergency mobilization.
• Park Closure: The park was closed for several days after the crash, with officials initially denying it, then citing duck hunting season. Suffolk Police reportedly manned roadblocks near the park entrance for days.
• Electrical and Mechanical Anomalies: Residents reported hearing the object crash, observing helicopters for hours, and experiencing strange electrical problems, including car batteries failing, VCRs and TVs malfunctioning, and frequent replacement of light bulbs. These phenomena are associated with a massive Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) effect.
• Physical Evidence: LIUFON's foot search of the 3000-acre park revealed widened fire roads, signs of heavy construction equipment, heavy tire marks, flattened grass, and mounds of freshly chipped trees. Some of this debris was found to be slightly radioactive, with no explanation offered by park authorities.
• Magnetic Anomalies: Fencing along River and Gerard Roads tested by an electronics engineer using a portable magnetometer showed signs of reversed magnetic polarity, as if exposed to a South Pole magnetic field.
• Radiation Detection: Elevated levels of radiation were detected in the North West and Gerard Road areas, exhibiting abnormal background levels in six-second bursts.
• Flattened and Broken Trees: Two areas of flattened and broken trees were discovered along Gerard Road. One area showed splintered trees, while another showed signs of a recent fire and held a strong magnetic field.
• Witness Sightings: The light from the crash was seen by residents as far north as Ridge and as far west as Bald Hill in Coram.
• Harassment and Legal Action: Residents reported harassment by police for discussing the incident. One minister's car reportedly burst into flames, and he was allegedly coerced into signing a statement denying its connection to the UFO crash, leading him to sue Suffolk Police for one billion dollars.
• Radiological Fire Response: Seven fire departments responded to control fires from the crash. Elements of the Brookhaven National Laboratories Fire Department and Emergency Response Team were dispatched due to their training in radiological fires, with some local units being turned away.
• Other Fires: A fire occurred near Police Headquarters and the County Correction Farm on Yaphank Avenue, potentially linked to the crash.

Video Tape and Cover-Up Allegations

Three weeks prior to this report, LIUFON Chairman John Ford received an anonymous package containing a video tape from a Department of Defense Systems Analyst. The tape purportedly shows the recovery of the South Haven Park UFO wreckage and scenes of body parts and bodies suggestive of humanoid beings. LIUFON's analysis, with video enhancement and stop-frame analysis, produced photographs of entities appearing alien. The tape was reportedly confiscated from fire department personnel. The government analyst has agreed to meet with NBC Unsolved Mysteries and the editor of the South Shore Press to discuss the tape. LIUFON has agreed to withhold circulation of the tape and photographs pending discussions with NBC.

Ongoing Developments and LIUFON's Activities

The wreckage of the object is reportedly stored at Brookhaven National Laboratories for study, which may explain recent reports of black helicopter flights over the laboratory area. LIUFON researchers have faced persistent police harassment, including detention and questioning, while attempting to canvass residential areas. On July 5, 1993, LIUFON held a protest march in Hauppauge, L.I., against a UFO Cover Up, in conjunction with a National Right to Know Committee rally in Washington D.C.

LIUFON plans to publish further information in its newsletter and encourages members to report any relevant information.

The Long Island Scene: Additional Reports

The report also briefly mentions other UFO activity on Long Island in the preceding ten and a half months:

• Yaphank Area: Reports of a large alien mother ship exploding over Yaphank, with wreckage and escape pods crashing in various areas, including South Haven Park, the County Correction Farm, Brookhaven Laboratories, and Brookhaven Town Dump.
• November 23, 1992: An unusual formation of lights in a triangular formation was spotted over the park area by Mike Parrenti.
• North Patchogue: A large domed disc with rotating lights and a horn-like noise was reported.
• Early December 1992: A daylight sighting of a black rectangular object over Montauk Highway near Shirley.
• EMP Effects: Residents reported electrical problems, car battery draining, VCRs and TVs malfunctioning, and stereo equipment failures, attributed to the EMP effect from the South Haven Park crash.
• December 10, 1992: Reports of large Delta shaped objects accompanied by smaller objects over Rte. 110 in Huntington.
• December 4, 1992: A large delta shaped object was observed over the Northern State Parkway.
• December 6, 1992: A large delta shaped object with three bright white lights in each corner was seen over Smithtown.
• February: A large triangular shaped object was observed over Setauket, pursued by two small light planes, witnessed by LIUFON investigator Steve Iavarone.
• UFO Abductions: Increased reports of UFO Abductions and entity sightings on the East end since the South Haven Park Crash.

Islip Town UFO Activity

Islip Town is highlighted as a center for UFO phenomenon since 1947, with historical reports dating back to the fifties and sixties. LIUFON has monitored recent developments with alarm, including daylight and night time sightings, strange lights, and objects landing in areas like Heckscher State Park. Reports of objects entering and leaving the ocean have been noted. Investigations into UFO Abductions have been documented. In 1990-1991, Islip Town reported sightings of triangular or delta shaped objects, similar to those reported in Belgium.

August 2, 1992 Incident: A significant sighting occurred over Islip Town involving a large disc-shaped object with multi-colored lights observed by a family. The object was silent, low altitude, and obscured by trees. The family reported a total lack of insect or bird sounds. The object was observed to flip on its side. A friend of the family's daughter also reported seeing a large domed disc shape object with red and blue lights and a glow emanating from underneath, escorted by what appeared to be military helicopters.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this report are UFO crashes, alleged government cover-ups, eyewitness accounts, physical evidence of unusual phenomena (EMP effects, radiation, magnetic anomalies), military involvement, and ongoing investigations by LIUFON. The editorial stance is one of presenting evidence and findings from LIUFON's perspective, highlighting the significance of the South Haven Park incident and the perceived efforts to suppress information. The report encourages continued vigilance and reporting of UFO activity.

Title: UFO Report
Issue: Vol. 1 No. 1
Date: 1993
Publisher: LIUFON
Country: USA
Language: English

This issue of UFO Report delves into various unexplained phenomena, including multiple UFO sightings on Long Island, an in-depth look at age regression therapy, and a controversial report on an alleged alien spacecraft crash.

UFO Sightings on Long Island

The magazine details several reported sightings. Professor Carlo Lombardi and his wife observed a large oval-shaped object with a red light on top and two blue lights on the bottom near Fire Island. The silent object reportedly interfered with their television reception. Another report comes from a local attorney and his wife who saw a large object with concentric white lights over the Great South Bay from West Islip. A nurse at a nursing home along the shoreline reported that a flying object caused the clocks in the building to run backward and triggered the fire alarm system, leading to an investigation by the Islip Fire Department. Efforts by LIUFON's Dick Ruhl to identify the object by contacting the FAA and major blimp companies were unsuccessful. Radio stations attributed the sightings to the self-illuminated Virgin Light Ship blimp, but LIUFON could not confirm this. The article notes that blimps typically do not operate in such a manner, do not have domes, and do not cause clocks to run backward. Consequently, LIUFON officially labeled the sighting an 'unknown object' and declared Islip Town an area of high activity.

Age Regression Therapy

An article titled "AGE REGRESSION" by Gary Tritt, a Certified Hypno Therapist, explores the phenomenon of age regression. Tritt explains that hypnosis allows individuals to revisit past events and experiences, accessing memories stored in the subconscious mind. He provides examples of how detailed descriptions of past environments and events can be recalled, evoking strong emotions. The article highlights startling results from regression studies, including individuals performing at the age to which they were regressed on intelligence tests and regaining fluency in their native language after being regressed to a pre-verbal age. Age regression is presented as a tool to uncover past traumatic situations and understand the root of old behavior patterns, potentially leading to favorable changes. Tritt advises consulting a qualified psychologist before undergoing regression due to the possibility of strong emotional trauma. He also introduces the TIE Hypnotheraphy Center's innovative approach using VCR technology, allowing the regressed individual to control the playback of their life's events, which has been found useful for individuals suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Alleged Alien Crash and Cover-up

The issue features a striking computer scan image with the headline "DID YOU SEE THESE ALIENS ????". The accompanying text claims this is a scan from a video tape smuggled out of Federal Government custody by a Defense Department Systems Analyst. It purports to show the bodies of two dead extraterrestrial beings recovered from an area east of William Floyd Parkway, near Brookhaven Laboratories, after their craft crashed on November 24, 1992. The report states that another object crashed in South Haven Park in Shirley just three minutes prior. This incident is presented as evidence of what the U.S. Government has been hiding for 47 years – the reality of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations visiting Earth. The Long Island U.F.O. Network Inc. is reportedly investigating this phenomenon. The incident allegedly involved a massive cover-up by federal, state, and local authorities, including a quarantine of over 12,000 people while wreckage and bodies were removed to Brookhaven National Laboratories.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently focuses on unexplained aerial phenomena, extraterrestrial life, and government secrecy. The editorial stance appears to be one of investigation and skepticism towards official explanations, advocating for the exploration of alternative theories regarding UFOs and potential alien contact. The inclusion of an article on age regression suggests an interest in the psychological and personal aspects of uncovering hidden truths, possibly drawing parallels between repressed memories and suppressed information about UFOs and extraterrestrial encounters.
