Articles

The Cover-Up of A Horror

This article, co-authored by William E. Jones and I. Scott, posits that a cover-up regarding the existence of an alien presence on Earth is likely occurring. They suggest that the government's history of secrecy, exemplified by events like Watergate and Iran-Contra, makes such a cover-up plausible. The authors express anger and a belief that this secrecy is maintained because public knowledge would fundamentally alter the world and the government's hold on power. They cite an article from SPIN magazine by Carole Gallagher, which details alleged human experimentation at Shot Hood, Nevada, involving soldiers witnessing caged animals and humans. Another account from Marine Sergeant Israel Torres describes people with peeling skin and falling hair, and a subsequent attempt by a doctor to dismiss the story. The authors conclude that if these stories are true, they reveal a disturbing aspect of humanity, suggesting that humans might be 'meaner and nastier' than aliens.

Southern Ohio Mini-Flap

Authored by Patrick J. Packard, this piece details a series of UFO sightings occurring over a twenty-mile arc of small towns around Cincinnati, Ohio, between January and June 1993. Investigator Jerry Black and Packard documented thirty-four cases of nocturnal lights, with twelve remaining unexplained. The sightings were characterized by intense brightness, light beams, and sudden movements. The reports trace a path from east of Cincinnati along the Ohio River, moving systematically north and west through towns like Blanchester, Goshen, Eastgate, Morrow, Lebanon, Monroe, Waynesville, Dayton, and Tipp City. Specific incidents include a bright light hovering over houses in Blanchester, a light bobbing in trees and spotlighting a car near Goshen, and a video-taped night light in Eastgate. Other reports describe lights moving erratically near Middletown and Monroe, and a large, house-sized object appearing suddenly and disappearing quickly in Morrow.

Waverly, Ohio Sighting

Delbert E. Anderson reports on a sighting that occurred on June 14, 1993, in Waverly, Ohio. A twelve-year-old boy named Aaron witnessed an object hovering over a field. The object was described as having three levels: the top two were dome-shaped and grayish-white, while the third level was a flattened oval and black. The object was in sight for five to ten seconds, executed a loop, and disappeared. The boy was scared, and his mother contacted the Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base. No other witnesses or hoax attempts were apparent, making it a single-witness case.

It's A Family Affair

Authored by Rev. Joseph A. Stets, this article details a hypnosis session with a woman named Crystal and her family, who were all involved in unexplained events. Crystal recounted experiences for which she had no explanation and had become physically ill during previous hypnosis sessions. Stets, along with Frank Reams and Paul Althouse, conducted a session. Crystal's mother, Kelly, her sister Amanda, and a psychic named Gayle were also present. Gayle described accounts of accelerated and missing time, including a return trip from Detroit to Columbus that took only an hour and a half. During hypnosis, Gayle reported seeing a light coming towards her car on Route 23 near Marion, Ohio, and described feeling dense, heavy, and smelling a musty odor, with a belt around her. She also mentioned aliens putting something down her throat. Amanda recalled memories of large spiders and feeling watched. Crystal, under hypnosis, described being in a garden with aliens, some of whom were described as 'human-like' with large eyes and pointed chins, and others as 'grays' with translucent bronze skin. She expressed a desire to leave her physical body and mentioned a trip to 'Mexico' where something was happening that she was blocked from seeing.

The Federation Story - Continued

This is a continuation of a story about Jane and her family, first introduced in the February 1992 issue. The article details an interview conducted by Dr. Irena Scott and Bill Jones in July 1993. Jane describes a dream about seeing a UFO, and her wife experienced severe stomach pain simultaneously. Jane recounts a profound experience while listening to The Indigo Girls' songs, 'Closer to Find' and 'Secure Yourself.' She felt a message about not needing to search for the source of information, that 'we are the chosen ones,' and that information sealed for a long time is about to be unsealed. She describes a process of 'clarity' and 'unification' that sharpens her perception of the environment. The experience lasted about forty minutes and occurred along Route 160 in southeastern Ohio. Jane also discusses her experiences with aliens, describing two types: 'grays' that are clay-like and Caucasian-like with blue eyes and blond hair. She recalls a memory of a short, purplish creature. The hypnosis sessions aimed to help her deal with these experiences.

A Lifetime Of Contact

This section introduces 'G,' a pseudonym for a contactee whose experiences span her entire lifetime. Her first remembered experience was as a young child. Most of her experiences involve two types of aliens: 'grays' (described as gray-white clay-like, with large eyes, thin mouths, and skinny arms/legs) and Caucasian-like aliens with blue eyes and blond hair. She describes a vague memory of a short, purplish creature. The hypnosis session with G aimed to help her deal with these experiences, and she reported that it was helpful. During the session, G expressed feeling sick and 'closer then,' meaning more 'out of me' and her 'real self.' She described being confined and angry about her situation. She recounted an experience of being in a garden with aliens, and a memory of being in a vegetable garden. She also described a memory of being two or three years old, wanting to go outside, and being told by aliens that they loved her and had a place to go in 'Mexico.' She felt blocked from seeing what else she was doing and expressed anger. She also recalled a memory of being in a yard, learning to come out of herself, and being told that she was learning too fast and would need to be blocked. She found it easy to leave her physical body but was sometimes forced back. She also described an experience at work where she was pregnant, and doctors couldn't find the cause. She mentioned two figures with black hats and white shirts standing beside her, monitoring everything. She described being in an ambulance in pain and sensing 'him,' her instructor. Her home is described as 'Everywhere.'

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include the possibility of government cover-ups regarding UFOs and alien presence, the nature of abduction experiences and contactee accounts, and detailed reports of unexplained aerial phenomena. The editorial stance, as expressed by the editors William E. Jones and I. Scott, is one of critical inquiry and a belief that the public has a right to know about these phenomena, even if the implications are uncomfortable. There is a strong undercurrent of suspicion towards governmental transparency and a conviction that humanity itself may possess a capacity for 'meanness and nastiness' that rivals or exceeds that attributed to extraterrestrials.

Title: OHIO UFO NOTEBOOK
Issue: 1/94
Date: January 1994

This issue of the Ohio UFO Notebook presents a diverse collection of articles and reports related to unidentified flying objects (UFOs), abductions, and related phenomena. It includes transcripts of interviews, witness accounts, and investigative notes, aiming to document and analyze these events.

Contents

Channeling Session with 'G'

The issue begins with a transcript of a session involving a woman referred to as 'G', who appears to be channeling a higher consciousness. The dialogue shifts from a personal experience to a more spiritual discourse on love and unity. The session is described as evolving from a 'contact/abduction narrative' to a 'channeling session,' with the personality of 'G' changing significantly. The investigators note that 'G' reverted to her normal self after the session. Due to the distance, MORA (Mutual UFO Network) cannot investigate this case in depth but will remain in contact.

Letters to MidOhio

A letter from a reader highlights similarities between an article about Comet Swift-Tuttle and a previous article about a 'UFO planetoid,' noting that both involve objects approaching Earth around the same time. The reader suggests checking out the perceived resemblance.

Permanent UFO Document Collections

An announcement details MORA's initiative to create permanent, non-circulating UFO document and book collections at The Ohio State University Libraries and the Ohio Historical Society. The goal is to preserve ufology literature, which is often printed in small numbers and is fast disappearing, for future researchers.

Articles

• Titan 4 vs. UFO? This section reports on a claim by U.S. Air Force Col. Frank Stirling that the Air Force video of a Titan 4 missile launch showed an unidentified object striking the missile at 110,000 feet. The Air Force has stated that the video will not be made publicly available.

• West Alexandria, Ohio Sightings A rural family in Preble County reported a UFO sighting involving four different sized white and yellow/orange lights hovering over woods for nearly two hours. The lights moved horizontally and vertically before disappearing.

• New Mexico Sighting On October 15, 1983, Ross and Elsie Smith reported seeing several small, green, phosphorescent lights in the sky, followed by a large 'mother ship' and six smaller elliptical craft.

• Man Bites Dog Story? This is an unusual report about a thirty-pound meteorite that struck Michelle Knapp's parked car in Peekskill, New York, leaving a small crater. The car was not insured for meteorite collision.

• Abduction Story This detailed account describes the experience of 'M,' a woman who, under hypnosis, recalled an abduction event in 1971. She describes seeing a large craft, being taken aboard, and encountering short, alien beings with vinyl-like skin. The account includes details of a 'dispensary,' a strange liquid, and a sense of having been there before. Further hypnosis sessions reveal experiences on a spaceship, including medical-like procedures, encounters with beings in white coats, and a vision of a baby. M's mother is also reportedly present on the ship during one of these experiences.

• Montauk Point UFO Event This article follows up on a previous report about an alleged UFO crash near Clovis, New Mexico. An informant, 'Jake,' reveals that he and his friends actually saw the crashed object, described as 'whale-like,' in a dry riverbed. They were noticed by Air Police and told to forget what they had seen. The article also mentions a rancher who reported his cows being spooked by a 'big object' with a glow that took off suddenly and emitted no sound.

• Canton, Ohio Triangle On January 13, 1987, a large triangular object, estimated to be three to five times the size of a Boeing 747, passed over Canton, Ohio. Witnesses reported colored lights and a hissing sound, with some reporting a beam of light directed at them.

• Another Unusual Abduction Story This piece discusses the common characteristics of abduction phenomena: the sheer number of cases, the difficulty in completing investigations, and the often absurd claims. It then presents details from hypnosis sessions with an abductee named Mike, who lost interest in continuing the investigation. Mike describes driving, seeing a large, rust-colored object resembling a house, and experiencing a sense of being in a lab with test tubes, a large round light, and a baby.

• A Different Sort of Ethnic Restaurant This article recounts a sighting from 1967 or 1968 where two women, Linda and Jan, saw a large, circular spaceship that Jan described as looking like a restaurant with windows all around and a bright, circling light. They lost sight of it shortly after.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO sightings, alien abductions, and the challenges of investigating and documenting these phenomena. The publication appears to maintain an open, research-oriented stance, encouraging readers to submit their own cases and acknowledging the limitations of current understanding. There is an emphasis on preserving information and encouraging further study, even of seemingly absurd claims, as they may hold important clues.

Title: OHIO UFO NOTEBOOK
Issue: 1/94
Date: January 1994
Publisher: MidOhio Research Associates

This issue of the Ohio UFO Notebook delves into various aspects of the UFO phenomenon, featuring articles on alleged UFO crashes, abductions, government secrecy, and witness testimonies. It highlights the work of Ohio-based ufologists and their contributions to the field.

Articles and Features

UFO Landing Near Clovis, New Mexico

The issue begins with reports of UFO sightings near Clovis, New Mexico, including a landing on October 23, 1957, as noted in Thomas R. Adams' report. Another report details a daylight landing on October 24, fifteen miles south of Cannon Air Force Base, which left unspecified traces. A Medford, Oregon, newspaper reported a streaking fireball on November 1, 1957, followed by sightings and landings of egg-shaped craft in the Levelland, Texas area.

Material Analysis from Alleged Crash Site

Material from an alleged UFO crash site, submitted by an individual named 'Jake,' was analyzed by two independent laboratories. Both concluded the material was a "cast ALNICO V alloy permanent magnet," commonly used for permanent magnet applications from 1930 to 1970. Complete laboratory reports are available to qualified investigators.

Discussion at MORA Meetings

Nicholas Reiter, who analyzed the fragments, noted that while they are consistent with earthly magnet fragments, they could originate from other sources, including UFOs using magnetic propulsion. He referenced 'Unsolved UFO Sightings' which shows a spacecraft propelled by magnetic forces. An abductee from Brazil reported UFOs using large counter-rotating magnetic masses for propulsion. The government might also be experimenting with such craft, and the Cash-Landrum affair is cited as a potential encounter with an earthly UFO using unusual propulsion.

Leonard Stringfield was contacted regarding 'Jake's' event, which he believed might be similar to a case he wrote about in 'Status Report number II.' This case involved a UFO crash in the southwest United States in 1957, where radar confirmed an alien craft crossed the skies at great speed. The area was 'roped off' by a military unit for security. From the damaged craft, four humanoid bodies were recovered with difficulty due to the craft's impenetrable metal structure. The bodies were burned, and their suits appeared silver but were damaged by intense heat.

Mr. Stringfield mentioned that the sergeant who provided him with information about the crash later went missing, and his wife was killed in a car accident. Debbie Valerio and Roberta Wander are searching newspapers for further information.

'The Double Deception' by Robert Perry Collins

Excerpts from an article by Robert Perry Collins discuss the extensive and covert efforts of federal intelligence agencies regarding UFOs. These efforts include monitoring UFO groups, suppressing information, and providing prosaic explanations. The article posits that this is a "double deception," with the first half involving the agencies' covert investigations and the second half involving the agencies' subtle and effective deceptive actions. The phenomenon itself is described as putting on a "show" to deceive investigators. The article suggests that UFOs may be the current manifestation of beings presented throughout history as angels or demons, used as a control system by advanced intelligent beings.

Children's UFO Experiences

Franklin B. Reams of MidOhio Research Associates reports on conversations with parents of young children who described experiences on spaceships. A three-year-old boy described yellow-haired occupants who communicated telepathically. A four-year-old girl spoke of being bitten by a wolf and then taken on a spaceship. A five-year-old girl described riding on a spaceship with small occupants and buttons, and stated she would not be going back. The article notes the similarity between these children's accounts and those of adult abductees.

UFOs Over Aztec, New Mexico

On November 29, 1993, UFOs were sighted over San Juan County, New Mexico. Pete Corey and four other men witnessed a mysterious, low-flying object with lights near an oil drilling rig four miles northwest of Aztec. The object was described as square-looking with four lights, moving without sound, and gliding across the sky.

UFO Sighting Near Farmington, New Mexico

On Tuesday night, a light was reported streaking from east to west between 6:00 and 6:30 PM near Farmington, New Mexico. Rick Gibson described it as low and big, lighting up the bottom of clouds. Irene Lind's grandson in Turley also saw something bright streak out of a cloud and head for the ground, followed by a boom. Pilots flying over the Four Corners area also reported a bright light. Officials at Kirtland Air Force Base and NORAD had no knowledge of flight operations or falling debris that could explain the sightings.

UFO Report from Cuba, New Mexico

State police in Farmington received a report of a bright flare in the Santa Fe National Forest near Cuba, New Mexico. Ray Martinez of the forest office saw a flare on Cuba Mesa, and Ethel Baca saw what looked like a "big firework" land on Cuba Mesa.

Book Announcements

The issue includes a section on book announcements, recommending titles such as "Aurora, Military Tech Series" by Bill Sweetman, "Case Closed" by Gerald Posner, "Other Losses" by James, and "The Great Airship Mystery" by Daniel Cohen.

Interview with Budd Hopkins

Budd Hopkins, an artist and abduction researcher, was interviewed about the possibility of alien impregnation of human females. He believes such reproductive activities generally occur artificially, with incompatibility compensated by advanced alien technology, and that direct sexual contact between aliens and humans is rare.

Extremely Low UFO Over Delaware, Ohio

A UFO, similar to the one described by Travis Walton, was sighted over Delaware, Ohio, in 1975. Witnesses reported a disc-shaped object, about 40 feet in elevation and 100 feet away, hovering for several minutes. The object was silver-gray and rotated slowly, with a yellow-green light emanating from its underside. Silhouettes of three entities were seen inside.

Additional Information About Wright-Patterson AFB (WPAFB)

An article discusses activities at WPAFB, specifically Building 856, where satellite photography is analyzed. It mentions that documents related to the Roswell object and entities might be housed there, potentially describing everything learned about the crash and including photographs.

Men In Black (MIBs)

An informant claims that Men In Black (MIBs) are individuals hired by the U.S. government to harass and intimidate people involved in UFO phenomena, with ex-prisoners often hired for this purpose.

Informants and Interviewing Tips

An informant witnessed a UFO shoot down an aircraft at a Japanese air base. The pilot was ordered to fire at the UFO, which used a beam that affected his aircraft. The pilot and plane were never found. The informant stated that some UFOs use beams that can function as tractor beams or destructive beams, changing color based on their intended use.

The section also provides tips on contacting and interviewing potential informants, emphasizing arriving early, observing surroundings, and escorting informants to their vehicles for confirmation.

Is MORA Under Surveillance?

This section details an advertisement placed in the Wright-Patterson AFB newspaper, the Skywriter, requesting informants to contact MORA. It also mentions the distribution of the July 1993 Ohio UFO Notebook, which contained articles about WPAFB and other military bases. The author describes an incident on August 7, 1993, where an extremely low-flying military aircraft (identified as a T-38 trainer) buzzed his house multiple times. Neighbors also witnessed the event, describing the noise as "awful" and the plane as dangerously low. The author contacted the Ohio State Highway Patrol, who had no record of the aircraft. The T-38 is described as a supersonic advanced trainer, and the F-5 is noted as a successful lightweight jet combat aircraft. The article touches on the possibility of T-38s being used for training and 'hot dogging' by officers.

Ohio UFologists

This section highlights prominent Ohio ufologists. Dr. J. Allen Hynek is recognized as a leading ufologist, astronomer, and founder of the Center for UFO Studies. Leonard Stringfield is noted as an expert in the crash/retrieval field. Jennie Zeidman is mentioned for her involvement with CUFOS and MUFON. Budd Hopkins is recognized for his pioneering work in abduction studies. Don Berliner is also mentioned as a prominent Ohio Ufologist.

Activities of MORA

Members of MidOhio Research Associates (MORA) are active in various UFO organizations and related activities. William E. "Bill" Jones, co-founder and director of the Ohio UFO Notebook, is highlighted for his role as MUFON State Director for Ohio and his efforts to develop the state MUFON organization. His publications and involvement in various UFO research projects are detailed.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include the persistent government interest and secrecy surrounding UFO phenomena, the analysis of physical evidence from alleged UFO incidents, personal accounts of UFO encounters and abductions, and the contributions of key figures in the ufology community. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting various accounts and analyses while maintaining a degree of skepticism and encouraging further investigation, as evidenced by the inclusion of informant tips and the emphasis on documented evidence and research.

The profiles emphasize the members' diverse backgrounds, including scientific degrees and extensive fieldwork, and their roles in investigating sightings, abductions, and related phenomena. Many have appeared on radio and television programs to discuss UFOs.

Ohioans in Aerospace Exploration

This section celebrates the significant contributions of Ohioans to the fields of flight and space exploration. It lists pioneers like Barney Oldfield, the Wright brothers, and figures involved in early aviation and aircraft development. Notable achievements include the first Army airplane pilot, the first air cargo, the first American Ace of Aces (Eddie Rickenbacker), the first government-sponsored research facilities, the first free-type parachute jump, and the first American-designed bomber. The section also highlights the first air mail flight, the first controllable pitch propeller, the first automatic pilot, and advanced air traffic control systems. In space exploration, Ohioans Neil Armstrong (first on the Moon) and John Glenn (first American to orbit Earth) are prominently mentioned. Judith Resnik, James Lovell, and Don Eisele are also noted as astronauts. The section also acknowledges inventors like Thomas Edison, Charles Brush, Charles Hall, Benjamin F. Goodrich, Harvey S. Firestone, and Charles F. Kettering for their technological innovations.

Scientific Articles and Discussions

Tidbits: Today's Science - Are Time and Distance Real?

This segment discusses recent scientific articles suggesting that quantum theory may allow for 'quantum teleportation' of information, where a particle's state can propagate instantaneously. This phenomenon challenges conventional human concepts of time and distance, leading to speculation that the universe might be constructed differently than currently understood, possibly existing on a level of consciousness where all parts are instantly aware of each other.

Astronomy - Life on the Close Worlds: Mars and Venus

An article from Astronomy (9/93) discusses the possibility of past life on Mars, noting that early Martian conditions were warm and wet, potentially conducive to life. It also mentions the theory of material exchange between Earth and Mars. Regarding Venus, it suggests that Venus may have once had liquid water and oceans, and its geological activity indicates recent resurfacing. The 'Big Ear' radio telescope in Ohio is mentioned for its SETI operations.

New Planets

Astronomers have discovered four bodies beyond Neptune, appearing to be asteroid-sized and possibly originating from the Kuiper belt.

Organic Molecules in Space

The Murchison meteorite, which fell in Australia in 1969, is discussed for containing prebiotic organic compounds, including amino acids and DNA bases. The Allende meteorite is also noted for similar contents.

Science Article on Mars Face

A letter to the journal 'Science' critiques an article about the 'Mars face.' The author argues that 'Science' misrepresented the scientific method by accepting psychologists' conclusions that the face is a natural artifact without direct inspection. The letter advocates for gathering information about the face itself rather than relying on expert opinions.

Investigations and Reports

Black Budget

This section references the F-117A stealth fighter, noting that it was designed for minimum radar signature and low infra-red emission, challenging the debunkers' argument that UFOs cannot exist because they would be detected by radar or infra-red detectors.

Additional Information About the New Mexico Mystery Virus

This report revisits the outbreak of hantavirus-related illness in the Southwest, questioning if it could be linked to U.S. biological warfare programs. It suggests that tests at Dugway may have infected the Fort Wingate region, triggering the epidemic. The report also notes that fewer than half the victims tested positive for hantavirus, and deaths were attributed to hemorrhaging rather than kidney failure.

Element 115

Bob Lazar's claim that UFOs are propelled by element 115 is discussed in the context of advances in seeking new elements. While elements up to 109 have been synthesized, element 115 is notably absent from a chart of new elements, with no explanation provided.

General Information: Hot Spots

This section identifies areas in Ohio with higher UFO report rates, including Delaware-Marion, Mansfield, and Dayton-Cincinnati. It mentions specific investigations in Rutland and north of Delaware, involving sightings, bedroom visitations, and close encounters. The report notes that a statistical investigation by Battelle Memorial Institute identified an area near Dayton as a 'hot spot.' MORA plans to track such areas to examine trends.

Recent Investigations: More black entities near Marion, Ohio

This report details a series of nighttime visitations involving 'black entities' experienced by a family in Marion, Ohio. The phenomena appeared to run in families, suggesting a possible hereditary or observational pattern.

Crop Circle?

A reported crop circle in Cincinnati was concluded to be a 'fairy ring' caused by fungus, with the story being 'squelched' by investigations.

DCSC Update

This update mentions reports of military bases showing films of alleged crashed discs and alien bodies. It discusses theories that these films might be government preparedness exercises or used to study witness reactions.

Power Failure - Additional Information About the Coyne Helicopter-UFO Encounter Over Ohio

This section revisits the 1973 Coyne helicopter encounter in Mansfield, Ohio, where witnesses reported a power failure coinciding with the sighting of a UFO and a helicopter. A green light was also observed.

Recent MORA Activities

This section outlines recent and upcoming MORA events, including a presentation by Don Schmitt on UFO Crash at Roswell, an Ohio Investigator's Workshop, and plans for a TV show featuring MORA. It also lists attendees of the Triad Conference in Indianapolis.

Cattle Mutilations

Bobby Unser and Cattle Mutilations

Race car driver Bobby Unser reported experiencing cattle mutilations and UFO activity at his ranch, stating he sees flying saucers frequently. This conversation was shared at the Triad Conference.

More Cattle Mutilation Information

A man from Delaware, Ohio, who had a close encounter at Pittsburgh Plate Glass, also provided information about cattle. He described a cow found with a hole in its milk vein, devoid of blood, with white meat and an odd taste. The hole appeared drilled, suggesting a rapid method for blood extraction. The article speculates on why cattle might be targeted, considering the large amount of blood they contain.

Submissions and Correspondence

Information is provided for submitting articles, letters, announcements, abstracts, reports, and news releases to the Ohio UFO Notebook, with contact persons William Edward Jones and Irena Scott.

Guidelines for Writers

We invite accounts of sightings, contact, government informant articles, and anything of interest to ufologists. Fiction is not desired.

Name and address are required.

Appendix

Titan 4 Motor Is Prime Suspect

This article from Space News (August 23-29, 1993) reports on the explosion of a Titan 4 rocket on August 2, 1993. U.S. Air Force Col. Frank Stirling suggests the explosion was linked to a repaired solid rocket motor segment. A peculiar detail is that the Air Force video of the launch reportedly shows an unidentified object striking the Titan at approximately 110,000 feet shortly before the explosion. Stirling expressed a desire to believe the object was a meteor, but the investigation is ongoing. The Air Force has no plans to make the video publicly available.

Titan Probe Focuses on Booster Segment

This follow-up article details the investigation into the Titan 4 rocket explosion. Visual information and telemetry data point to a burn-through in one of the fourteen solid rocket motor segments, likely due to an imperfection in the insulation or solid fuel. The motor segment in question was built in 1990 and repaired after a flaw was discovered. The article mentions that the Air Force strengthened its inspection procedures after a similar Titan failure in 1986. The Titan 2 and Titan 4 rockets share a common core propulsion system, but the Titan 2 does not use solid rocket motors.

MORA Events

Upcoming MORA events include a presentation by Don Schmitt on January 13, 1994, an Ohio Investigator's Workshop on April 2, 1994, and plans to host the autumn Triad Conference.

MORA Bulletin Board

This section solicits reports from experiencers, requests information on government investigations or UFO artifacts, and seeks volunteers with specialized training (chemistry, astronomy, aeronautics) to become MORA consultants. It also seeks individuals with experience as investigators or in hypnotic techniques, as well as health professionals who counsel experiencers.

Coming Attractions

The Hilliard Ohio Case - Revisited is announced as a future attraction.
