In the News

This section features several news items:

• ALLEGED BIGFOOT PRINT FROM SIBERIA: A scanned newspaper clipping from 'THE MINOT DAILY NEWS' dated Tuesday, December 6, 1966, discusses an article in the 'Saturday Evening Post' titled 'Are Flying Saucers Real?' by Dr. J. Allen Hynek. The article details a UFO sighting at a Minot Air Force Base Minuteman missile launch control center on August 25, 1966. An Air Force consultant confirmed the report, which was allegedly sent to Wright-Patterson Field and then to the magazine. The incident involved a UFO with a red light, static interference with radio transmissions, and radar confirmation at an estimated height of 100,000 feet. The object reportedly landed briefly and then departed. The article also mentions a similar incident a few days earlier involving a police officer who saw an object on its edge hovering and moving across a valley. Hynek also details a 'puzzling case' from 1953 in the Bismarck area involving sighted objects and radar blips at Ellsworth AFB, with an F84 jet dispatched.
• WWII Ghosts Image: An image is presented with the headline 'Does this image show the ghosts of WWII prisoners on their death march? Former Army Officer takes haunting image along route they took in Borneo jungle 67 years ago.' The text states that the image shows 'ghostly skeletons on Borneo jungle track caught on film'. It recounts that 2,400 Australian and British POWs marched 160 miles by Japanese, with only six surviving due to exhaustion, starvation, beatings, or bayoneting.
• PINK UFO PHOTOS ON GOOGLE STREET VIEW: This section explains that numerous 'Pink UFO' photos seen on Google Street View cameras are actually 'Lens Flares'. Locations mentioned include Texas, Mississippi, and Australia. The phenomenon is attributed to bright light sources causing artifacts or haze, commonly occurring when shooting towards the sun or bright artificial light.
• LIGHTNING INSIDE A STORM THUNDERHEAD: An image shows a bright, cloud-like formation with blue light, identified as 'LIGHTNING INSIDE A STORM THUNDERHEAD' in Toronto, Canada, and explicitly stated as 'NOT A UFO'.

Special Announcement

A 'SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT' welcomes the members of the new 'UFORCOP Missouri Investigators Group'. This group is described as dedicated researchers of the UFO Phenomenon, Abduction Scenario, and Paranormal, along with Crypto-zoology. Their talents are praised, and it is stated that in the coming weeks, ongoing and completed cases will be posted on the UFORCOP website with contact information. This group will handle all cases within the State of Missouri.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The newsletter consistently promotes UFORCOP's research activities in UFOs, paranormal events, and cryptozoology, particularly within Pennsylvania. There is a clear emphasis on the organization's self-funded nature and its commitment to providing research and investigations free of charge. The newsletter also demonstrates an effort to debunk misidentified phenomena, such as the 'pink UFOs' on Google Street View and the lightning in a storm, while also reporting on alleged sightings and historical cases. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious investigation into unexplained phenomena, with a structured approach to data collection and reporting, and a willingness to collaborate with other research groups while maintaining independence in reporting findings.

This document appears to be a newsletter or a section from a larger publication, likely from the Missouri Investigators Group, established in 2009. The content spans several pages, focusing on paranormal investigation techniques and resources, with a specific emphasis on the use of metal detectors.

News from the Missouri Investigators Group

The first page (page 11) announces that there is no next meeting scheduled for the Missouri Investigators Group this month. It also mentions a current project that is investigating potential correlations between UFO and Paranormal reports and Native American mounds. Readers are encouraged to report sightings via the UFORCOP website or a provided online form.

Information for the UFO and Paranormal Researcher

Page 12 features a graphic with the title "INFORMATION FOR THE UFO AND PARANORMAL RESEARCHER," indicating the target audience for the subsequent content.

The Metal Detector: Operation and Technology

Pages 13 through 16 delve into the topic of metal detectors. Page 13 explains the basic operation of a metal detector, describing how it works by sweeping a coil over the ground and producing an audible signal when a target object is detected. It outlines the typical parts of a metal detector: the stabilizer, control box, shaft, and search coil. Three primary technologies are listed: Very Low Frequency (VLF), Pulse Induction (PI), and Beat Frequency Oscillation (BFO).

Page 14 elaborates on how metal detectors function, explaining the role of the transmitter and receiver coils in detecting magnetic fields from objects in the ground. It details how the strength of the magnetic field can indicate the depth of an object. The VLF technology is described in more detail, including the concept of "Phase Shifting" for discrimination.

Page 15 discusses the "Notching" feature of VLF detectors and then explains Pulse Induction (PI) metal detectors. PI technology uses short bursts of current to generate magnetic fields and relies on the "Reflected Pulse" to detect objects. A note indicates that PI detectors are not ideal for discriminating between different types of metals. The Beat Frequency Oscillation (BFO) metal detector is also mentioned.

Page 16 further details the BFO detector, noting its effectiveness for finding buried objects within a foot or so of the surface, utilizing two coils with slightly offset frequencies. The section "AS A UFO OR PARANORMAL RESEARCHER, YOU NEED TO CONSIDER THIS TYPE OF EQUIPMENT..." strongly advocates for the use of metal detectors in investigations. It argues that forensic trace evidence plays a crucial role in the success of investigations and that metal detectors can be invaluable tools for uncovering such evidence, even in cold cases, potentially finding items buried up to six inches deep.

Visuals and Tools

Pages 17 and 18 provide visual aids. Page 17 shows an image of a modern metal detector and a person using one in an outdoor setting, with the heading "TOOLS TO ACCOMPANY YOUR DETECTOR." Page 18 displays images of various digging and collection tools, such as a "GARRETT RETRIEVER," a trowel, a scoop, and a screwdriver, and provides a website for "Garrett Tools тм."

Paranormal Investigation Resources

Pages 19 and 20 highlight resources for paranormal investigation. Page 19 features an image with the text "PARANORMAL TIPS" and recommends a white paper titled "Paranormal Investigation Development 101," published by the Spirit Society of Pennsylvania, available on their website (www.spiritsocietyofpa.com). It suggests keeping a copy for field reference.
