Featured Content

This issue highlights a "Featured Book of the Month": "UFO'S: MYTHS, CONSPIRACIES & REALITIES" by John B. Alexander, Ph.D. The "Featured Site of the Month" is ALIEN-UFO-RESEARCH.COM.

UFORCOP's Mission and Operations

UFORCOP states that it is self-funded and does not charge for research or investigations. It clarifies that the featured website is not associated with MUFON Pennsylvania or MUFON International. The center is actively seeking information on ritualistic crimes, cult encounters, animal or human sacrifice, and suspected ritual grounds for its database. Researchers are also looking for reports of mysterious lights or UFO sightings near nuclear power plants, military bases, or airport facilities, with contact provided via [email protected]. Information regarding cattle mutilations and UFO activity in Oklahoma can be directed to William Hood at [email protected]. Additionally, UFORCOP is interested in reports of paranormal activity near Indian Burial Grounds or areas where indigenous peoples encamped in Pennsylvania, requesting detailed maps and activity reports.

Specific Investigations and Cold Cases

The newsletter specifically requests photographs of military trucks, equipment, and personnel related to the Kecksburg / Fireball Incident of December 9, 1965, in Mount Pleasant Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. Contact for this is [email protected].

UFORCOP's "Cold Case Unit" is dedicated to reopening and reviewing unsolved cases in Ufology, Crypto Zoology, and the Paranormal. Cases of interest include "The Todd Sees Case" (Northumberland, PA), "The Kecksburg Incident" (Kecksburg, PA), "The Brown Mountain Lights" (Morganton, NC), "The Dyatlov Pass Incident" (Dyatlov Pass, RU), and "Strange Creatures in Westmoreland County, PA." The unit notes that many questions remain unanswered regarding timelines, evidence, and witness statements in these cases.

Pennsylvania Legends and Crypto-Zoology

The "Pennsylvania Legends" section features "The Storm Hag," a creature described as a Sea Witch lurking in Lake Erie near Presque Isle, known for summoning storms and dragging sailors to their doom. The description details its pale, green appearance, luminous yellow eyes, long arms, sharp teeth, and bony fingers.

The "Crypto-Zoology Information in Pennsylvania" section seeks information on sightings of Panthers, Mountain lions, Cougars, Thunderbirds, Large Snakes, Strange Creatures, and Bigfoot. It lists contact emails for researchers specializing in these areas. The section notes that "extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof." It also lists the most reported creatures in Pennsylvania (Cougar, Coyote, Wolf, Bear, Bald Eagle, Blue Heron) and the least reported (Bigfoot, Thunderbirds). Notably, there were no Bigfoot & Creature Reports in Pennsylvania in 2013, and no verifiable reports of Cattle Mutilation in the state.

Paranormal Tips - EVP

Tips for recording Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) are provided, recommending the use of good digital recorders, selecting high-quality record modes (5000 Hz frequency response or higher), setting sensitivity carefully, placing the recorder on a stable surface, and keeping away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference like mobile phones or nearby electrical equipment.

Sightings Report and Upcoming Publication

The "Pennsylvania Sightings Report" for January 2014 details 55 sighting reports filed for that month, with a list of counties where reports were filed. All information is strictly confidential.

An upcoming publication, "J.A.A.R. - JOURNAL OF ABNORMAL ABDUCTION RESEARCH," is announced, with its first issue scheduled for March 1, 2014. Readers are directed to visit the webpage for more details.

Editorial Stance and Call to Action

The issue concludes with a powerful statement: "IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT LIGHTS IN THE SKY; IT'S ABOUT LIES ON THE GROUND" and the slogan "ENDING UFO CENSORSHIP WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING // SEEK THE TRUTH." This is followed by a list of societal domains: RELIGION | SCIENCE | POLITICS | LAW | MEDIA | GOVERNMENT | ACADEMIA | THE MILITARY | WORLD CULTURE, emphasizing that "WE, THE PEOPLE, HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THE WORLD." A quote from Butch Witkowski, Director of UFORCOP, states, "WHEN ALL THE EVIDENCE SAYS IT IS TRUE AND NONE SAYS IT IS FALSE, IT IS TRUE."

The disclaimer at the end of the publication clarifies UFORCOP's position regarding the website's content, liability, and external links, stating they are not responsible for the accuracy or content of third-party sites.
