This issue of Georgia Sky Watch, the newsletter for Georgia MUFON members, is dated December 1995 and serves as an open forum for exchanging ideas and information about UFOs and related phenomena. The opinions expressed are those of the contributing writers and do not necessarily reflect the views of Georgia Sky Watch or its editors and publishers.

Getting Started

This article, written by John C. Thompson, addresses aspiring field investigators and the common reasons why individuals hesitate to start investigating UFO phenomena. The primary reason cited is the fear of ridicule and being perceived as a 'whacko UFO nut.' To overcome this, Thompson advises developing a 'thick skin' and taking pride in one's work. He emphasizes that field investigators are part of an elite team with unique talents and encourages them to overcome self-doubt. The article recommends obtaining a MUFON Field Investigator's Manual, using the identification card, and printing business cards to leave behind. It also suggests informing local police, fire departments, radio-TV stations, friends, and family about their role to generate leads. The author stresses that self-starters are needed and encourages readers to 'ask... ask... ask!' and listen carefully, as people in their midst may have seen UFOs or know others who have. He suggests that self-employed individuals can find leads by letting people know they are UFO investigators. Thompson advocates for a direct approach, using a sign in his insurance agency that asks, 'Have you seen a UFO?', which has yielded spectacular cases. He also advises seeking out 'old-timers' in rural areas and 'project' folk who may have had strange alien experiences. The article notes a 'racial dimension' to investigating, with black folk being more willing to open up, while others may be reluctant. It advises against pushing witnesses and to move on if resistance is too strong. The importance of documenting cases, possibly through video taping, is highlighted, and it's suggested that teenage children can assist, often making witnesses more comfortable. Witnesses should be milked for information politely and honestly, and UFO books can be shown to them. The author stresses the importance of looking professional, especially in the conservative South, and selling the idea that the UFO phenomenon is real and worth investigating, equating field work to sales. The article concludes by urging readers to 'come out of the closet, get your cards, spread your message, and start investigating.'

Message From the Editor

This section, written by the Editor, reflects on the time of year, Christmas and the New Year holidays. The editor humorously notes his recurring wish for UFO books and magazines as gifts, often receiving shirts and ties instead. He questions if readers will take the hint from the newsletter. The editor states that 1995 was a slow year for Georgia MUFON, with only one meeting on February 26th, which featured a presentation by Michael Norris. However, 1995 also saw the inception of Georgia Skywatch and the mailing of two issues. The editor expresses optimism for 1996, noting the appointment of new officers: Jim Clifford as treasurer, and Henry and Kelly Owens as public relations officers, who are infusing significant time and energy. He anticipates that Georgia MUFON in 1996 will be vastly different from 1995. The article also mentions MUFON member Ed Komarek's bid to run for Congress, promising to try and get secret UFO documents released. The editor wishes readers a Happy Holidays.

UFOs: A Great Mystery

Written by S. Christopher Early, Georgia MUFON State Director, this article questions why UFOs have not landed on the White House lawn, suggesting that after years of being shot at and chased by interceptors, they know better. He recalls the 1952 Washington D.C. sightings, where UFOs were tracked on radar and jets were scrambled, indicating a 'shoot first' policy. The article posits that the government, unable to agree on budgets, would certainly not agree on UFOs. It questions why an alien intelligence would want to contact such a 'hostile group.' The author notes that scientists seek electromagnetic signals from intelligent civilizations, but the human ego prevents belief in extraterrestrial visitors already present. He states that since 1947, there have been hundreds of thousands of sightings worldwide, suggesting these people cannot all be faking it. UFOs represent a great mystery, and the article points to physical evidence such as photographs, electromagnetic effects, sightings of ships with colored lights and gassy shrouds, pseudogravitational attraction, radar sightings, and immense acceleration cases that defy current laws of physics. The scientific community's reluctance to examine this data is attributed to fear of ridicule. The article suggests that UFOs do not fit into our egocentric worldview, comparing it to past resistance to inventions like airplanes and computers. The ridicule factor is blamed on embellishers and those with few credentials. Disinformation is seen as a problem that separates fact from fiction, leading to disagreements among investigators. The author believes UFOs want to reveal themselves to prompt humanity to examine its spiritual values and its impact on the planet. He questions the morality of alien entities taking people for examinations, comparing it to the KGB. The article touches on the concept of reality as a composite of sensations and experiences, and poses existential questions. It suggests that UFOs are telling us to look within ourselves and see our impact on the planet, warning against material greed and environmental exploitation. The author speculates on how an advanced entity might reveal itself, possibly through genetic impregnation, leading to a messiah figure. The article concludes by stating that some people will not believe no matter what they see, demanding exact personages or idols, and that the children of Israel followed a pillar of light by night and a cloud by day, eventually worshipping a golden calf.

UFOs: It Has Begun (Review)

Reviewed by Susan Daniel, this section reviews the film 'UFOs: It Has Begun,' written by Robert Emenegger. The film, released in the late 1970s, is described as a wonderful overview of the subject with important historical footage, available for $34.95. Hosted by Rod Serling, the film covers various aspects of the UFO phenomenon, starting with ancient accounts from the Bible, Greek, and Roman eras, and sightings from 9th Century France. Jacques Vallee is featured, emphasizing that UFO sightings are a worldwide phenomenon, not just American. The film discusses the involvement of the Air Force and NASA, mentioning specific sightings during Gemini and Apollo missions and from Skylab. Dr. J. Allen Hynek recounts his experience on the 'Robertson Panel,' which evaluated UFO sightings, concluding that objects were 'birds' despite evidence of self-luminous objects traveling at great speeds. The review highlights the case of 'Mrs. S,' who, in a trance, answered complex questions, supposedly receiving information from extraterrestrials who formed the 'OEEV' or Universal Association of Planets. The film presents famous cases like the Mantel and Chiles-Whitted cases, which led to the formation of Project Sign. Al Chop recounts experiences from 1952 when UFOs were seen over Washington D.C. The review also mentions the 1966 Hillsdale and Dexter, Michigan case, the Socorro, New Mexico sighting with physical evidence, and the 1973 Coyne military helicopter encounter with a 'cigar shaped' object. The film explores cattle mutilations and their possible connection to craft sightings. An abductee story about 'Helen' is included, where her body molecules were dispersed and she received instructions from peaceful beings. The film concludes by posing questions about alien intentions, humanity's potential unity, the possibility of advanced alien knowledge, and how contact might change our perception of ourselves and the future. It shows a simulation of a possible future encounter. The reviewer gives the film five stars and calls it a 'must see' and 'one of the best UFO documentaries available.'

The UFO Brief

Authored by Dr. Joye Pugh, Ed.D., this article ponders whether the Illuminati, the upper GODS of Free Masonry, control the UFO cover-up. It questions if their relationship with the Bilderberger Group, which is said to control the world, gives them the power to house UFO information, making them 'George Orwell's BIG BROTHER.' The article delves into the history of the Knights Templar and their quest for higher knowledge, secret meetings, and rituals involving blood oaths. It states that defectors from Free Masonry explain how oaths instill fear of death. The author claims that Free Masonry exists globally and literally controls its members, with many local chapters unaware of the true meaning behind their organizations and their involvement in raising money for under-cover projects using Children's Hospitals as a front. The article suggests that not all thirty-third degree Masons are aware of what is going on, and there are higher degrees that few men are aware of, requiring individuals to forsake all for the Brotherhood, from which there is no escape. The Brotherhood or Illuminati are controlled by the Bilderbergers, who are described as the most powerful and wealthy in the world. They have established The Trilateral Commission and The Council on Foreign Relations and 'own the Monetary Trust Fund -- they own the world.' They select political candidates, making people believe they have a choice in government. The article asserts that those in power will not come forward due to their oaths. It suggests that the Brotherhood has worked hard over centuries to become the owners of the world and will not give it up to any alien. They do not want the public to know what is going on, as it might destroy the present form of government. The 'owners of the world' have set the date of 2000 A.D. for the beginning of THE NEW WORLD ORDER, promoting the NEW AGE ideology, which is linked to Agnosticism. They believe they are illuminated and GODS, chosen to lead humanity to a new world. The article posits that abductions are used to push people into being submissive. It questions whether the Secret Brotherhood has invented technology for levitation and other phenomena, employing scientists to work on their behalf. The author believes the Brotherhood knows the true identities of UFOs and has the resources to control alien craft. The article concludes by stating that the Brotherhood does not want the public to know what is going on because it might destroy the present form of government and that they have set the date of 2000 A.D. as the beginning of THE NEW WORLD ORDER.

The Quest

This section, within 'The UFO Brief,' discusses the historical quest for higher knowledge by groups like the Knights Templar and their involvement with secret meetings and blood oaths. It suggests that defectors from Free Masonry reveal how these oaths instill fear of death. The author claims that Free Masonry controls its members, with many unaware of the organization's true purpose, which allegedly includes raising money for secret projects. The article posits that higher degrees within Masonry require individuals to forsake all for the Brotherhood, from which there is no escape.

How Does the Secret Brotherhood Control?

This subsection of 'The UFO Brief' explains that the Brotherhood or Illuminati are controlled by the Bilderbergers, who are described as the world's most powerful and wealthy individuals. These individuals have established The Trilateral Commission and The Council on Foreign Relations and 'own the world.' They select political candidates, creating the illusion of choice for the public. The article asserts that those in power will not speak out due to their oaths. It claims the Brotherhood has worked for centuries to control the world and will not relinquish this control to any alien. They fear that public knowledge of UFOs could destabilize the current government. The article states that the 'owners of the world' have designated 2000 A.D. as the start of THE NEW WORLD ORDER, promoting a NEW AGE ideology rooted in Agnosticism, where they believe themselves to be illuminated GODS leading humanity. Abductions are suggested as a means to enforce submission. The article questions whether the Brotherhood has developed advanced technology, possibly for levitation, and possesses the means to control alien craft.

UFO's Controlled?

This subsection of 'The UFO Brief' questions the government's denial of facilities like Groom Lake or Area 51, suggesting they might belong to an independent FIRM that secures government funds without congressional awareness. It posits that documents regarding UFOs in government files may be purged and sent to a secret organization known only to top officials, or that the Brotherhood itself may be extraterrestrial. The article suggests that the plan for world control is underway, with spy satellites potentially monitoring everyone. It questions what force the Brotherhood might use if people do not comply with the upcoming NEW WORLD ORDER, and if they have the capability to 'own our souls.' The possibility is raised that the Secret Brotherhood has invented technology, such as levitation, and that Albert Einstein's Unified Field Theory might be in the hands of an 'evil genius.' The article asks who this 'evil one' is. It then discusses abductions, stating that if they are real, it means we cannot control entities that defy our understanding of life. The article concludes that the Brotherhood has worked hard to become the owners of the world and will not give it up to any alien, and that they have set the date of 2000 A.D. as the beginning of THE NEW WORLD ORDER, promoting the NEW AGE ideology and using abductions to enforce submission. It also states that UFOs have been allowed to abuse us through abductions.

Good or Evil?

This section of 'The UFO Brief' asserts that we are controlled and becoming more so, with the prospect of computers and implanted chips for monitoring. It questions if nose implants are a precursor to skin implants. The article states that UFOs have been allowed to abuse us through abductions, controlling large portions of the public. It suggests that someone is playing a game of good and evil with our world, operating from Earth and not wanting us to know the truth, providing only bits of information. This 'someone' allegedly keeps wars, racial strife, politics, money, and the news media in turmoil to prevent people from investigating their 'evil plots and plans.' The article concludes that one entity on Earth is behind the 'Great Oz,' described as a 'Wizard of a lizard.'

In Summary

This summary section of 'The UFO Brief' states that until ufologists tackle the aspects of the cover-up by an agency outside of the government, securing facts on UFOs will be impossible. It suggests that many government officials are unaware of UFOs because they are not privy to the information. The author believes that a matter of this magnitude, along with the consequences of revealing UFOs, must be kept highly secret, requiring the backing of the most powerful people. The Illuminati or Secret Brotherhood are identified as having the manpower and means to control the UFO cover-up. The article questions how ufologists should approach this control, noting that the U.S. government is unsuccessful in fighting these powerful men. It describes a 'spider web of bureaucracy' with a 'huge spider devouring each UFO morsel into its' stomach,' quoting the spider saying, 'You are mine,' to the fly.
