Brown Mountain Lights Phenomenon

The newsletter details the UFORCOP team's research trip to Morganton, NC, starting on September 2, 2011, to investigate the Brown Mountain Lights. They conducted preliminary research, viewed, and photographed the lights. The team plans to return in late October or early November for further investigation. They were joined by Richard Lang, director of ARIRA, who is familiar with the area and will participate in the second visit. The equipment used included Infrared Cameras and night vision scopes. The lights were described as massive and varying in color, visible from 1930 to 2230 hrs. A portable gas analyzer will be used on the next trip to check for gases.

Collaborations and Appearances

UFORCOP has joined forces with ARIRA, Aerospace Research Investigation Reporting Agency, UFO Research of North America, UFO Clearinghouse, and the Institute of Frontier Science as partner sites in their search for the truth. UFORCOP also attended a charity benefit for Animal Rescue in Tamaqua, PA, displaying their mobile unit and Tim Heckman's Bigfoot display. The event was for a worthy cause and generated significant interest.

UFORCOP Mobile Unit Enhancements

The UFORCOP mobile unit has been upgraded with QualComm Global Star Satellite Communications, a new IF Night Vision System, a Ladder Rack, Emergency LED Warning Lights, Ladders, Repelling Gear, mobile and portable communications, and a multi-band scanner. A 3500-3750 watt generator was also installed.

UFORCOP is planning a paranormal investigation in Gettysburg in the autumn of 2011 to explore strange reported phenomena in that location.

Crypto Zoology and UFology Updates

Information is sought regarding sightings in Pennsylvania of creatures such as Panthers, Mountain Lions, Cougars, and Thunderbirds, with contacts provided for Troy Noll ([email protected]) and Tim Heckman ([email protected]). The top three reported creatures in Pennsylvania are listed as Bigfoot, Thunderbirds, and Panthers. ORB reports are still being received from across the state and the US, with a large number originating from Florida.

Abduction Cases

One abduction case has been opened from England (UK).

ARIRA: A Deeper Look

The newsletter provides an in-depth look at ARIRA (Aerospace Research Investigation Reporting Agency), describing it as a private research organization focused on UAP and other anomalous phenomena. ARIRA's advisory board members, investigators, researchers, and dispatchers are selected based on academic accomplishment, research capabilities, and experience. ARIRA is not a membership organization and is entirely self-supporting, dedicated to research and producing reports. Their logo was intentionally designed to appear official, with the acronym's words chosen to signify an entity through which energy is exerted to achieve an end result.

Reporting UFO Sightings and Crypto News

Instructions are given on how to report a UFO sighting via confidential email to [email protected], including details such as name, contact number, date/time, location, description, number of witnesses, and proximity to the object. Photos or drawings can be attached. A 'Crypto News' section briefly mentions a mountain lion that completed a 2,000-mile walk across the U.S. before being run over by an SUV, noting it as one of the longest journeys for any land mammal.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The newsletter consistently promotes UFORCOP's research and investigative activities, encouraging public participation in reporting sightings and seeking information. There is a strong emphasis on scientific investigation, collaboration with other organizations, and the dissemination of findings. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into unexplained phenomena, with a particular focus on UFOs, paranormal events, and cryptozoology, primarily within Pennsylvania but also extending to national and international cases. The organization positions itself as a credible source for research and information in these fields.

This issue of "UFO RESEARCH CENTER OF PENNSYLVANIA" (implied title from page 18) focuses on a remarkable animal journey and various paranormal and UFO-related topics. The primary narrative details the incredible 2,000-mile trek of a mountain lion from South Dakota to Connecticut, its eventual demise, and the implications for wildlife conservation. Interspersed are reports on animal mutilations and ongoing UFO investigations.

Mountain Lion's Epic Journey The issue highlights the extraordinary journey of a 140-pound mountain lion that traveled approximately 2,000 miles from its origin in the Black Hills region of South Dakota to Connecticut. This journey, which spanned across the U.S. and Canada, is described as one of the longest recorded for a land mammal. DNA evidence from the animal's hair and droppings confirmed its passage through Minnesota and Wisconsin in 2009 and 2010. The lion's remarkable journey ended tragically when it was hit by a sports utility vehicle on a highway in Milford, Connecticut, on June 11, 2011. This event marked the first confirmed sighting of a wild mountain lion in Connecticut in over 100 years.

Connecticut environmental commissioner Daniel Esty commented on the significance of the event, calling it a testament to the species' adaptability and a positive signal for wildlife recovery. Biologists initially suspected the animal might have been a captive escapee, but tests revealed it was not neutered, de-clawed, or microchipped, common practices for domestic animals. The animal was estimated to be between two and four years old and was possibly the same one sighted earlier in Greenwich, Connecticut. The North American mountain lion population is estimated at 100,000, primarily residing in western regions and rarely traveling more than 100 miles.

Biologist Paul Rego noted that rivers could present a challenge but were not insurmountable for the animal. The discovery was seen as a symbol of hope for conservationists, indicating that wilderness areas and biological diversity can be preserved and protected. The mountain lion's body is being considered for display by several museums. The exact reasons for the lion's extensive migration remain unknown.

Animal Mutilations The issue also reports on animal mutilations. A case in Douglas County, Minnesota, involving cattle mutilation on August 8, 2011, is mentioned. Additionally, reports from the United Kingdom describe mutilated sheep found with three mysterious holes in a triangle formation in their skulls. Readers are encouraged to report any suspected animal mutilations to a provided email address.

UFO Research and Investigations The UFO Research Center of Pennsylvania is actively involved in various investigations. The UFORCOP TEAM and ARIRA TEAM are scheduled to travel to North Carolina in late October or early November to continue their investigation of the Brown Mountain Lights. UFORCOP is also seeking information regarding the Presque Isle Landing Incident, Bigfoot Sightings, and Thunderbird reports in Pennsylvania.

Abduction Phenomenon The document provides a definition of "Alien Abduction" or the "Abduction Phenomenon" as subjectively real memories of being taken by non-human entities. It outlines "Abduction Forensics," detailing common elements such as capture, examination, conference with captors, tour of the craft, loss of time, return to place of abduction, a feeling of oneness with the universe or God, and the mental aftermath of the event. Specific areas of the human body that are reportedly examined in abduction reports include the cranium, nervous system functions, skin samples, reproductive systems, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, lymphatic system, and abdominal region.

Overseas cases of sheep mutilation in England and Brazil are also mentioned, with inquiries ongoing.

Announcement: Budd Hopkins A somber announcement is made regarding the death of Budd Hopkins, a noted researcher and head of the Intruders Foundation, on August 21, 2011, due to complications from liver cancer. Hopkins is recognized as a central figure in abduction phenomenon and related UFO research and will be missed.

Disclosure Project A section titled "Disclosure Now!" encourages support for the Disclosure Project, with a website provided for more information. A quote attributed to "Ufology today..." states that "All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted."

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance The recurring themes in this issue revolve around unexplained phenomena, including extraordinary animal migrations, animal mutilations, and UFO sightings and research. The editorial stance appears to be one of investigation and reporting on these subjects, encouraging public participation in reporting sightings and providing information. There is a clear interest in the abduction phenomenon and a call for "disclosure" regarding UFOs. The magazine also promotes conservation efforts through the lens of wildlife adaptability.

This document appears to be the final page of a publication, likely a magazine or newsletter, from the UFO Research Center of Pennsylvania. The page is numbered '22' and contains concluding remarks and organizational information.
