Recent Sightings and Investigations

The newsletter reports a number of recent cases involving "Orange Orb" and "Triangle" type UFOs, and requests any information or photos to be shared with [email protected]. Specifically, UFORCOP is seeking information on sightings of an orange-colored square in the sky in Florida between 1975 and 1977.

To report a UFO sighting, individuals are asked to send a confidential email to a researcher, including their name, contact information, date and time of the event, location (city, county, state), and a brief description of the sighting. Additional details requested include the number of witnesses and the proximity to the object. Photos, drawings, or EVP recordings can also be attached.

New Equipment and Technology

UFORCOP has introduced mobile units based in Eastern and Western Pennsylvania to cover reports within a few hours. These units are equipped with constantly updated technology. The eastern mobile unit has been enhanced with an Oscilloscope attached to an antenna array for low to mid-level detection of UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena), described as an experiment.

Crypto News: Cougars

A "Crypto News" article discusses a recent increase in cougar sightings in the Eastern US, prompting wildlife officials to reconsider their extinction status. It mentions a report from a journalist at the Recorder Newspaper in Greenfield, Massachusetts, detailing cougar sightings near the Vermont border, reported by an Amtrak engineer. A website, www.ctmountainlion.org, is provided for further information.

2012 and the Mayan Calendar

The newsletter addresses the Mayan calendar's 2012 prediction, presenting it not as an apocalyptic event but as the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new calendar. Mayan expert Leonzo Barreno is quoted, stating that Mayan elders taught him December 21, 2012, marks a new calendar beginning, and the concept of an apocalypse is a misinterpretation. Barreno, who immigrated from Canada 23 years ago, trained by Mayan elders, never heard the phrase "end of world" from them.

He explains that an inscription describes the return of a god, Bolon Yokte, at the end of a 13th period of 400 years (Baktuns), equivalent to December 21, 2012. This marks the end of a 5,125-year cycle since 3113 B.C. The event is viewed by Mayans as joyous, signifying a transition to a new era.

German expert Sven Gronemeyer suggests the calendar may have been misread, and his decoding of a Mayan artifact indicates a transition to a new era. Carl Johann Calleman suggests the Mayan calendar actually ended on October 28, 2011, attributing the discrepancy to the change from the Gregorian to the Julian calendars. The article notes that Mayans dismiss apocalyptic predictions as a Western idea, which has been commercially exploited through books, gold sales, and survival gear.

The newsletter criticizes self-proclaimed experts in the field who lack training in Mayan culture and rely on soothsayers. It suggests that internet rumors and individuals seeking "Fortune and Glory" are behind profit-driven misinformation, comparing it to the "Y2K" and "Rapture" scenarios. The article concludes with a quote from Star Trek, "Live long and prosper," and a humorous reference to "SKYNET" taking over.

Basic Researchers Field Kit

A list of essential items for researchers is provided, including paper, pen, pencil, measuring tape, camera, binoculars, star chart, tape recorder, ruler, flashlight, EMF detector, video camera, SD card/film, equipment storage case, cellular phone, and a personal first aid kit.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The newsletter consistently promotes UFORCOP's mission of investigating UFOs and paranormal phenomena, encouraging public participation through reporting sightings and offering their research services. There is a clear stance against sensationalism and misinformation, particularly regarding the Mayan calendar prediction, which is presented as a misinterpretation. The organization emphasizes its self-funded, non-profit nature and its commitment to rigorous research. The inclusion of cryptozoology and paranormal investigations broadens the scope of their interest beyond traditional UFO sightings.
