Directors Message

The "Directors Message" section highlights the ongoing success of conference registrations, with efforts to promote the event through posters and media kits sent to newspapers, TV, and radio stations. Over two thousand registration forms have been distributed, with five hundred more planned. The cable channel is running an advertisement for the conference for the next two weeks.

NH. MUFON CASE LOG

This section details several recent UFO sightings reported to NH MUFON:

• July 12, 1991, 2:00 AM (Portsmouth, NH): A man observed an intense ball of white light that headed directly towards him, passed over his home, made a sharp turn south, and disappeared. The sky was clear, the object made no sound, and was estimated to be twenty times the size of a star.

• July 22, 1991 (Pittsburgh, NH): A man reported seeing several high-altitude white lights performing unusual maneuvers, including darting, zig-zagging, and shooting off in straight lines. These sightings occur regularly in the North country, often between 9:00 PM and 11:00 PM, with the lights moving to a specific point in the sky before disappearing.

• July 27, 1991 (New Durham, NH): Mr. Raymond Fowler, Director of Investigations, referred a potential abduction case to New Hampshire MUFON. A woman from New Durham had written to Mr. Fowler about her encounter, and NH MUFON was suggested as her best course of action. She had not yet contacted NH MUFON, and the writer intended to make contact if no response was received within a few weeks.

• August 13, 1991, 2:45 AM (Rochester, NH): A woman and her nine-year-old son observed a black flying wing while stargazing. The object passed directly overhead with no sound or lights. It was estimated to be four to five inches in apparent size when viewed at arm's length. Its shape was described as a boomerang with short wings and a rounded nose, and a slight white glow was noted on its trailing edge. The witness speculated it might be a stealth B-2 aircraft but questioned its presence so far from its base. The craft flew out of sight at a speed estimated to be less than six hundred miles per hour.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The newsletter reflects MUFON's ongoing efforts in UFO research, public engagement, and member communication. The editorial stance is one of active investigation and reporting of sightings, alongside promoting organizational events and fostering a sense of community among members. The emphasis on conference promotion and the detailed case log indicate a commitment to both the practical aspects of running a UFO organization and the core mission of documenting and analyzing UFO phenomena.
