Title: PENNSYLVANIA ENCOUNTER
Issue: 59
Date: May 2015
Publisher: UFO RESEARCH CENTER OF PENNSYLVANIA

This issue of the "Pennsylvania Encounter" monthly newsletter from the UFO Research Center of Pennsylvania (UFORCOP) focuses on their ongoing investigations into UFO phenomena, paranormal events, crypto-zoology, and alien abduction cases. The organization utilizes two fully equipped mobile units stationed across Pennsylvania to respond to reports.

Research and Reporting

The newsletter emphasizes its research methodology, stating they do not comment on the results of other groups or individuals. They provide clear instructions for individuals wishing to report a UFO, strange creature, or paranormal event. This includes submitting an email with detailed information such as name, contact number, date and time of the event, location (city, county, state), a brief description of the sighting, number of witnesses, proximity to the object, its shape and appearance, and any attached photos, drawings, video, or EVP recordings. All submitted information is treated as strictly confidential.

Group Updates and Specific Requests

UFORCOP is actively seeking information on sightings of Dog Man, Bigfoot, or Unknown Creatures specifically within the Clearfield and Jefferson County areas of Pennsylvania. They also request reports of mysterious lights or UFO sightings near Nuclear Power Plants, Military Bases, or Airport Facilities, and information on creature sightings in Clearfield County and the Penfield area State Game Lands #331. Additionally, they are looking for reports of paranormal activity in or around Indian Burial Grounds or areas where Indigenous peoples historically encamped, requesting detailed maps and activity reports.

Cold Case Unit and Featured Cases

The "Cold Case Unit" is highlighted as a division dedicated to reopening and reviewing unsolved cases in Ufology, Crypto Zoology, and the Paranormal, with independent investigators and researchers across multiple states. Several "Cases of interest in progress" are listed, including 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 newsletter notes that many questions remain unanswered regarding these cases, suggesting discrepancies in timelines, evidence, and investigator reports.

Featured Content

This issue features "FLYING SAUCERS FROM OUTER SPACE" by Maj. Donald E. Keyhoe, USMC (Ret.) as the "Featured Book of the Month." The "Featured Site of the Month" is UFOPARANORMALTEAM.COM.

Pennsylvania Legends

The newsletter includes a section on "Pennsylvania Legends," detailing two local stories: the Academia Girl's School in Port Royal, PA, associated with legends of student ghosts and a gardener murderer, and Emily's Restaurant in Mohnton, PA, said to be haunted by a young girl named Emily whose giggles are often heard.

Sightings Report

A "PENNSYLVANIA SIGHTINGS REPORT - MAY 2015" lists 16 sighting reports filed for the month of April 2015, categorized by county across the state. A map graphic illustrates UFO sightings with varying levels of witness reports.

Request for Assistance (Ritualistic Incidents)

UFORCOP is also expanding its database of ritualistic incidents and is seeking information on Ritualistic Crimes, personal accounts of cult encounters, animal or human sacrifice, and suspected ritual grounds. Researchers will contact individuals with permission, and all information is kept strictly confidential.

Photography Request

Specific requests are made for photographs of Military Trucks and Equipment, along with personnel, at the scene of the Kecksburg / Fireball Incident of December 9, 1965, located in Mount Pleasant Township, Westmoreland County.

Editorial Stance and Quotes

The newsletter prominently displays the quote: "IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT LIGHTS IN THE SKY; IT'S ABOUT LIES ON THE GROUND" and the tagline "ENDING UFO CENSORSHIP WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING // SEEK THE TRUTH." It advocates for transparency across various sectors including religion, science, politics, law, media, government, academia, and the military. Another quote attributed to Butch Witkowski, Director of UFORCOP, states: "WHEN ALL THE EVIDENCE SAYS IT IS TRUE AND NONE SAYS IT IS FALSE, IT IS TRUE."
