UFO Intelligence Newsletter - 1993 03 March

Magazine Overview

This issue of the UFO Intelligence Newsletter, dated March 1993, is produced by The UFO Filter Center and edited by Francis L. Ridge. It features a cover story on the upcoming movie 'Fire in the Sky', based on the Travis Walton abduction. The newsletter is priced at $13.50 for 12 issues and is based in Mt. Vernon, Indiana.

Upcoming Movies and Productions

The newsletter highlights several film and book projects related to UFOs. Joan Didion and John Gregory Dunne are working on a script titled 'Zone Of Silence' about government UFO coverups. Jacques Vallee's 'Messengers Of Deception' is reportedly in production. Kevin Randle and Don Schmitt's book 'UFO Crash At Roswell' is also in development with a major playwright and director attached, rumored to be a Steven Spielberg production for television, with an actor set to play Jesse Marcel.

Alien Command Structure Update

Bruno Molon presents a study on UFO morphology, analyzing data charts to identify a structure and purpose in various UFO sizes and types. Disc-shaped craft, either oval or circular, are the most common. Molon categorizes them into four size groups:

1. 12-18 ft. discs/eggs: Used for reconnaissance and brief landings for sample gathering; not for abductions.
2. 25-35 ft. discs with domes: All-purpose landers, sometimes used for abductions, but often abbreviated due to lack of space. The cabin is usually open, but a walled-off examining room is used for abductees.
3. 70 ft. discs: Resemble smaller discs but with different floor plans. Observation craft of this size may or may not have an open cabin. Commonly used for abductions, with interiors sectioned into rooms in a ring pattern around a central control area, accessed via a hatch, airlock, and hallway.
4. 100 ft. or larger craft: Rarely land and are used for abductions, including mass abductions, due to their size and facilities.

Molon notes that several different races may operate these craft, suggesting a shared 'motor pool'.

UFOs Don't Need Lights?

This section explores the purpose of UFO lights. The author questions why 'covert' or 'overt' operations would use highly visible lights. The conclusion is that lights are not needed for navigation, as UFOs can avoid obstacles and pursuers without visual contact. Instead, lights are likely used deliberately to be seen when it suits the operators' purposes, ruling out natural phenomena and supporting the idea of intelligent, 'nuts-and-bolts' machines.

Zoo Events & Near Misses

This section discusses recent articles about asteroids and 'Earth grazers'. It highlights that an asteroid of 600 ft. diameter landing in the mid-Atlantic could cause a 600 ft. tidal wave, while a 1-3 mile asteroid could destroy a large portion of civilization. Asteroid 1989FC, a half-mile wide object, missed Earth by 700,000 miles in March 1989, undetected until its close approach. NASA estimates 1,000 to 4,000 asteroids larger than a half-mile cross Earth's orbit, but only 150 are known. A 1978 South Pacific event, previously thought to be a nuclear test, is now suspected to be an asteroid impact. The article also mentions the 'Vela Event' of September 22, 1979, a flash detected off South Africa, which remains controversial, with military sources disagreeing on its nature. The Vela satellite systems have reportedly registered hundreds of signals of unknown origin, termed 'zoo events'.

Proposal '93

This section outlines a proposal to create a 'realtime' picture of UFO activity. The UFO Filter Center, established in 1986, aims to leverage computer Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) to collect and share UFO data across the country. The proposal involves establishing BBS UFO Net HQs in each state to log preliminary reports and a National UFO BBS Network HQ to acquire monthly input. This system, utilizing input forms with short questions, would allow for rapid data acquisition and visualization, overcoming the slow pace of traditional investigation methods. Comments and criticisms are invited.

Mars Observer Update

NASA's Mars mission has a low priority for photographing the Cydonia region, including the alleged city, face, and pyramids. Few opportunities are expected by the end of the mission.

Motherships

Abductees describe motherships, often triangular, containing laboratories involved in unfamiliar technological activities. Lighted, glowing spheres, usually red but capable of changing colors, are believed to be probes dispatched from the mothership.

Intelligence Research

This brief section links the beginning of the space age 50 years ago with the first German V2 rocket launch and the sighting of 'foo fighters' in World War II.

Indiana News

Francis Ridge-State Director Notes: Samuel Stoneking requested assignment to Jennings County. An individual in Vigo County may become a Field Investigator Trainee (FIT). The state map on page six illustrates 14 Districts and 24 field investigators for Indiana's Rapid Deployment Team (RDT).

Rapid Deployment Team (RDT): Composed of FITs and FIs, the RDT can deploy quickly to investigate UFO sightings, especially during 'flaps'. They maintain readiness with a Prescribed Load List of materials and equipment.

Jerry Sievers-"From the Training Officer's Desk": Introduces new FITs: Linda J. Dahlkemper (South Bend, IN), interested in abduction phenomena, recommended by John E. Mack; and Leo E. Dwyer (Michigan City, IN), with a general interest in UFOlogy. Bruno Molon is an FI and SSD in Lake County, working on Alien Command Structure. Will Ott has transferred from Bloomington to Indianapolis. Thomas Vlaskamp is now in charge of Greene County. FITs are asked to send two 29-cent stamps for training packets.

State District Map: Page six shows the 14 Districts for rapid deployment, divided into State Sections, with names and addresses of FI personnel available for information.

Computer Codes Explanation

A key explains various codes used in the sighting data, such as NL (Nocturnal Light), DD (Daylight Disc), C (Close Encounters), UT (Uncorrelated Target), HR (Humanoid Report), and source codes like MUJ (Mufon UFO Journal) and NCS (Newsclipping Service).

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The newsletter consistently focuses on UFO intelligence gathering, data collection, and analysis. It promotes the idea of a structured, organized approach to UFO research, exemplified by the Indiana MUFON's Rapid Deployment Team and the proposed BBS network. There's a strong emphasis on 'nuts-and-bolts' UFOs and intelligent control, as seen in the 'UFOs Don't Need Lights?' section. The publication also covers related phenomena like asteroid threats and potential extraterrestrial intelligence, often drawing from various sources and newsletters to compile a comprehensive overview of current UFOlogy.
