Magazine Overview

This is the November 1995 issue of the MUFON Arizona Chapter Newsletter, titled "MUFON Arizona Chapter," Volume 4, Issue 11. The cover features a desert landscape and the headline "The Truth is Out There." The issue includes contact information for state and county directors, as well as a UFO hotline.

Director's Message

Tom Taylor, State Director, addresses the ongoing debate about the alien autopsy, suggesting it took place after the Socorro, NM crash in May 1947. He announces that Colin Andrews is reserving Madison Square Garden for a significant announcement. Taylor highlights Sunny Barcliff as the guest speaker for the November meeting, acknowledging that "Thanksgiving Eve" might affect attendance but emphasizing the fascinating nature of her story. He also announces that the December meeting has been moved up due to Christmas and will feature crop circle researcher Ron Russell, with a special admission charge of $8.00 for MUFON members and $10.00 for non-members. Doris Barley, Yuma County Section Director, is stepping down after several years, and her contributions are acknowledged with thanks. Taylor also requests that members send in newspaper clippings and articles for the newsletter, especially with Doris Barley taking on new projects. He thanks Preston Westmoreland for an article on the Cave Creek Crash.

The message also touches on the location of the Bosnian peace talks at Wright-Patterson Field, questioning the choice of location given its association with alleged UFO crash debris. Jan Aldrich from Project 1947 is mentioned as having visited Phoenix for library research.

New meeting place and day are announced: Wednesday, November 22, 1995, at 7:30 p.m. sharp, at the National Guard Armory, 5636 E. McDowell Road. The program is "The Sunny Barcliff Story." A note also indicates a new meeting night and location for future meetings.

Media Watch by Tom Taylor

This section provides a list of recent television, radio, and newspaper programs related to UFOs.

October programs mentioned include a 20/20 segment on crop circles and Art Bell's interview with Richard Hoagland discussing atomic bomb detonation sites. Jim Dilettoso was featured on a live radio program discussing the UFO phenomenon, and a 1995 version of "War of the Worlds" was aired on KTAR, followed by the original broadcast. A segment on "Sightings" featured a UFO spotted by a pilot near Albuquerque that also appeared on radar.

MUFON-AZ Meeting (November 22)

Bill McDonald, who worked with UFOlogist Leonard Springfield, presented details from interviews with people connected to the Roswell crash. As a "forensic reconstruction illustrator," he created detailed illustrations of the Roswell crash site, vehicles, and beings. He described the beings as having "human, Oriental/Filipino-type eyes," indented skin similar to an albino baby gecko, four fingers with an opposable thumb, and suction cup fingertips. He also described other alien types, including "hybrids," "neomates," metallic-headed beings with slits for mouths, and aliens with masks.

Donald Schmitt, co-author of "UFO Crash at Roswell," discussed the government's cover-up of UFO sightings and the Roswell incident. Based on interviews with 500 witnesses, he presented excerpts detailing the sensitivity surrounding UFOs, the atomic testing in New Mexico, the involvement of the "509 Unit" pilots, the retrieval of alien bodies, and the cordoning off of a large area. He mentioned that a local mortician was asked how to preserve tissue with dry ice. Schmitt noted that the debris field was extensive and that troops were involved in the cleanup. He also discussed the announcement of the base commander being on leave, when he was actually onsite. Schmitt also detailed the disinformation campaign, including the use of weather balloon photos, and threats made to witnesses and their families. He cited the 1946 military exercise incident where families were not told the truth about 1,000 drowned men until 1986 as an example of government cover-ups.

Miesha Johnston facilitated a support group for contactees and abductees, discussing the need for such groups and sharing experiences of generational contactees. She explained phenomena like raising vibration to levitate and disappear, and contact through dreams.

Rev. Robert Short spoke about his experiences starting in the 1950s, emphasizing the importance of documenting unusual encounters. His talk included information about "bases - positive creatures" and "major nations attacked them," as well as details about Reptilians and prophecies concerning future events.

Helga Morrow was the final speaker, sharing stories about her father, a German scientist involved in secret projects. She spoke about Montauk, NY, as an underground government secret testing site and described finding strange rooms and wiring in a building there, suggesting torture and attempts to capture "Kundalini energy." She has written "The Morrow Chronicles."

The Watchers II: Exploring UFOs and the Near Death Experience

This section reviews Raymond E. Fowler's new book, which explores the abduction experiences of Betty and Bob Luca. Fowler's work shifts focus to the paraphysical nature of UFO entities and their implications, drawing parallels between UFO experiences and NDEs.

UFO or HSE?

Herb Moran, MUFON-AZ Member, reviews Raymond Fowler's book, noting its departure from previous work and its focus on the paraphysical nature of UFOs. He discusses the similarities between UFOs and NDEs, suggesting that "death may be the ultimate UFO abduction experience."

U.S. Black Programs

This section summarizes an article from "Aviation Week and Space Technology" detailing "black projects" in the U.S. military. It mentions twelve significant classified programs, including two fixed-wing aircraft prototypes, two rotary-wing programs, and eight weapons programs. The article discusses the investigation of low radar signatures and noise levels using classified helicopters, which differ from commonly reported "black helicopters." It also notes that stealth work is being done on radar ranges and mentions radar signature test facilities in Nellis AFB, Edwards AFB, Lockheed near Barstow, and Holloman AFB. The article also refers to a Pentagon Advanced Concept Technology Demonstrator project at the classified Groom Lake, Nevada facility, involving an aircraft coating that changes hues and brightness.

Review of The Earth Chronicles

This section continues the synopsis of Dimitri Ossipov's work on Zecharia Sitchin's "The Earth Chronicles." It focuses on the chronology of events related to the Anunnaki, inhabitants of the 12th planet Nibiru, and their activities on Earth. Key events include the erosion of Nibiru's atmosphere, Alalu's refuge on Earth, the Anunnaki's extraction of gold, the creation of primitive workers (Homo Sapiens), and subsequent conflicts and divisions of power among the Anunnaki and their interactions with humans. The chronology spans from 450,000 B.C. to 2,023 B.C., detailing the arrival of various Anunnaki figures and their influence on human civilization, including the development of cities, the Tower of Babel incident, and wars.

Tours & Publications

A Texas travel agency is booking trips to famous UFO sites in Mexico (Mount Popocatépetl), Puerto Rico (Laguna Cartagena, El Yunque), the Bahamas, Peru, and Egypt. Participants meet ufologists and hear local contacts.

Sci-fi show on Valley radio too real for some

This article reports on a modern radio drama adaptation of H.G. Wells' "War of the Worlds" aired on KTAR (620 AM) that caused some listeners to become unnerved, with one caller nearly having a heart attack. The broadcast was described as graphic and realistic, similar to the original 1938 Orson Welles broadcast. The story concludes with the earthlings winning because bacteria killed the space invaders.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The newsletter consistently promotes the investigation of UFO phenomena and related topics, including ancient astronaut theories, government secrecy, and personal experiences with UFOs and extraterrestrial encounters. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry and a belief in the significance of UFO sightings and related events, encouraging member participation and information sharing. There is a strong emphasis on documenting experiences and critically examining official explanations for unexplained phenomena.
