INTRODUCTION
It all began one November evening in 1986. I was watching the news on TV and heard about one of those ridiculous UFO sightings. The pilot of a Japanese commercial airline claimed to have seen a UFO while flying over Alaska. The newscasters laughed nervously, joked about the incident and moved on to the next news item.
But in that instant my life changed forever. I thought to myself, this pilot is lying. Maybe he was suffering from “highway hypnosis” and hallucinated the object. Perhaps it was just a reflection off the ice-cap. I later learned that the object was larger than his plane and paced it for several miles. It appeared on the jet’s onboard radar, and on ground radar, and was in view for nearly an hour.
None of these details were revealed on the news report about the incident, which interested me enough to mention it at the office where I worked. I soon got an incredible shock. The people that I had worked with for years began to tell me of their own UFO stories. One lady told me that she and her family saw a darting star-like object while camping in the San Bernardino Mountains of southern California. Another lady told me that she, her best friend and her mother were followed by a metallic disk with colored lights around the perimeter which hovered over their car as they drove home. It was strange, she said, because the drive which normally lasted five minutes took over an hour. Somehow they had lost time.
I then made the mistake of asking my friends and family. I learned that my brother and his two friends had seen a metallic object with colored lights and a dome shape on top in Reseda, California. My sister-in-law and her two friends observed three glowing objects over Van Nuys Air Force Reserve Base, in California. A close friend (and her friend) saw an egg-shaped object which emitted a low buzzing noise move overhead in Topanga, California. Another friend was with his girlfriend in Topanga Canyon when they saw a triangular formation of lights hovering in place low in the sky. The objects swooped at them, at which point they became disoriented and frightened and fled the area.
I continued to ask everyone I knew if they had ever encountered a UFO, and before long, I had an impressive collection of accounts. I was shocked. Could UFOs be real?
Determined to discover the truth, I went to the library to see if they had any books on the subject. I found a surprisingly wide variety. I quickly devoured them all--looking for the proof I hoped I would find--that UFOs can be explained as hoaxes, hallucinations or misperceptions.
Instead the books told of stunning encounters involving multiple witnesses, supported by radar returns and landing traces, medical effects (both injuries and healings) animal reactions, electromagnetic effects and more. I learned that the phenomena had been studied for decades and that there was an apparent cover-up by the US government which considered the subject Top Secret and of extremely high importance.
Finding out that UFOs were real was not good news. It hit me like a ton of bricks and caused me to reevaluate my entire worldview. Earth was being invaded by aliens and yet mainstream society seemed to be entirely ignorant of the fact.
I began to formally interview witnesses and decided to write an article for the local paper. I was surprised when the editor put the story on the front page of the Topanga “Messenger,” making it the lead story. This brought in more reports. I began to subscribe to UFO magazines and journals and join any UFO groups I could find. I attended local meetings and conventions. Before long, I found myself actively investigating UFO incidents.
I began to write articles for various magazines and in 1996, wrote my first book. I began to appear on radio shows, which led to multiple television appearances.
In a few short years, UFOs had effectively taken over my life. Fast forward thirty years later, and I have now interviewed hundreds of witnesses and investigated UFO encounters of virtually every type. I have written twelve books about UFOs and six about the paranormal. I have also written more than 100 articles examining the various aspects of this very complex phenomenon.
One day I took all my articles out to review them and realized I was sitting on an enormous amount of UFO information. A good portion of my UFO research was available only in these articles, which were now very rare and difficult to find.
And so the idea for this book was born. This book is a collection of ten of my UFO articles, each representing the cutting edge of UFO research. Each article explores a different facet of the UFO phenomenon and is supported by firsthand cases.
My specialty--I think--has been the ability to review a large amount of data from a wide variety of sources and come up with unique insights and unusual patterns. With thirty years of UFO research under my belt, and more than 100 articles to choose from, the selection was based on several factors. I wanted to include some of my early work and some of my later articles. I also wanted to explore a wide variety of topics. My ultimate goal was to provide a comprehensive overview of the phenomenon, including everything from sightings and landings, to abductions, UFO crashes and stories of the government cover-up. I also had one rule: the articles would not contain information that’s already available in one of my books.
All the articles in this book are original and have never been published in book form.
In “Conversations with Extraterrestrials,” I explore cases in which people have held conversations with ETs, and learned information about their agenda on Earth.
“Phone Call from an Alien” explores a rare type of contact during with people receive phone calls or even radio messages from an extraterrestrial or UFO.
What happens when a person shoots a gun at a UFO? “UFO--Don’t Shoot!” presents more than a dozen cases in which people have had a shoot-out with a UFO or alien.
It is well-known among UFO researchers that ETs are conducting an extensive study of our planet. “Alien Zoos” presents cases in which people have seen animals both earthly and extraterrestrial aboard UFOs.
“UFOs over Graveyards” is a spooky and sometimes bone-chilling look into cases in which UFOs have shown an undue interest in cemeteries.
While many people claim to have seen aliens aboard UFOs, much rarer are cases in which ETs have been seen mingling among the human population. “Aliens Among Us” presents more than a dozen cases in which ETs have been seen in some very unexpected places including subways, casinos, hotels, restaurants, bookstores and more.
“The Alien-Clown Connection” is a creepy expose of cases involving ETs who use the image of a clown (or something else) as a screen-memory in an apparent attempt to hide their identity.
Is it dangerous to investigate UFOs? “The Intimidation and Murder of UFO Witnesses” shows that having conclusive evidence or solid proof of UFOs can sometimes be a very dangerous thing.
The United States Government has been accused of withholding UFO hardware. “Exposed--Project Redlight” presents a compelling case that the US Military has not only captured UFOs, but are actually flying them around.
In the final article, “Mining Data on UFOs,” I explore one of the many alien agendas: cases in which UFOs target mines, apparently for the purpose of taking precious ores and metals from our planet.
While the articles in this collection have been previously published in various magazines and journals, they have never before been available in book form, and most of them have been edited to include new and current information. In addition to the articles, I have added a behind the scenes section in which I tell the story of how each article came to be written and in some cases the consequences that occurred after publication.
Finally, each article is illustrated by award winning UFO artist, Kesara.
This book presents the cutting edge of UFO research. Are you ready to learn the truth about UFOs?
EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER TWO: PHONE CALL FROM AN ALIEN
UFO contact comes in many different forms. Some people have sightings of craft. Others have onboard experiences. Some experience bedroom visitations with ETs. Others have only telepathic contact or even claim to channel ETs. But there is another form of contact that is so rare, there have been only a few reported cases. These unique cases involve UFO contact through a simple instrument found in most homes--the telephone. As bizarre as this sounds, enough accounts have turned up to merit a serious investigation.
Jack Sarfatti is today a prominent quantum physicist. Unknown to many, however, is that he may owe some of his success to a very unusual experience -- a phone call from a flying saucer! The whole ordeal began more than fifty years ago.
Says Sarfatti, “In 1952 and 1953, when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, I received a phone call...in which a mechanical sounding voice at the other end said it was a computer on board a flying saucer. They wanted to teach me something and would I be willing? This was my free choice. Would I be willing to be taught – to communicate with them? I remember a shiver going up my spine, because I said, ‘Hey, man, this is real.’ Of course, I was kid...but I said, ‘yes.’”
Sarfatti was impressed. He ran and got his friends, and they gathered together in his bedroom, awaiting the upcoming promised contact. Unfortunately, nothing occurred, and Sarfatti assumed at first that it was just a clever practical joke.
At this point, his memory of the event strangely ends. But according to Sarfatti’s mother, the first phone call was followed by a series of similar phone calls--each giving Sarfatti information that would leave him forever changed. Says Sarfatti, “My mother remembers this experience very well. It turns out that I had forgotten most of it. This was really something that occurred over several weeks. Apparently what happened, which is completely blanked from my memory but not from hers, was that I continually received phone calls, many phone calls from the same source. My mother says I was walking around really strange. She began to get worried about me. Finally, one day she picked up the phone, and she heard this computer. She remembers the voices...She said, ‘Leave my boy alone!’ The Jewish mother talking to the flying saucer or whatever they were. My mother has a strong personality. And that was the end of it. We never got another phone call after that.”
While Sarfatti is unable to consciously recall the messages given to him, his pioneering career as a quantum physicist may hold some of the answers. He championed Bell’s theorem which is based on the Einstein-Rosen-Podolsky quantum physics experiments regarding the possibility that subatomic particles behave in a way that indicates some sort of “telepathic communication with each other.” Einstein felt that such a possibility was “absurd.” However, current experiments have proven, as Sarfatti claimed, that subatomic particles are in fact connected with each other “non-locally.” Sarfatti is today a leading authority on the physics of consciousness.
A remarkably similar case comes from the files of leading abduction investigator, Budd Hopkins [END OF EXCERPT]
EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER THREE: UFO--DON'T SHOOT!
When confronted with the unknown, it seems to be a basic law of human nature to shoot first and ask questions later. Rightly or wrongly, many of us perceive the unknown as a threat, and take appropriate precautions to protect ourselves--fight or flight. Given the prevalence of firearms in modern society, the expression of self-protection often involves a gun of some sort. And given further that UFOs represent the unknown--if anything does!--it should come as no surprise that there are several occasions when humans have taken up arms against these strange flying objects and/or their occupants.
What happens when the interaction between humans and UFOs escalates to violent conflict? What happens, for example, when a person actually fires a gun at a UFO or shoots at an alleged entity? For that matter, what happens when the UFO fires back? Let’s examine the record of shoot-outs between humans and unidentified flying objects.
One of the first recorded cases of a UFO being fired upon occurred on February 25, 1942. It was only a few months after the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor when Los Angeles was invaded by several large UFOs hovering overhead. The entire city enforced a mandatory blackout while the military scrambled to confront what they thought were Japanese aircraft. The UFOs were caught in the beam of several search lights, and the military proceeded to fire upon the objects. Altogether about 1,430 rounds of ammunition were fired at the aerial objects with no visible effect whatsoever. On the ground, however, it was a different story: several buildings and homes were extensively damaged and at least six civilians died, resulting in a subsequent Congressional investigation.
A similar event reportedly occurred in the Soviet Union on July 24, 1957. Several UFOs were sighted over the Kouril Islands and Russian anti-aircraft batteries went into action. The repeated attacks failed to bring down any UFOs.
There are also cases where jet-fighters have fired upon UFOs. One example occurred when two F-6s were scrambled to intercept a UFO that had appeared on radar, clocked at a speed of 700 MPH. At top speed, one of the jets was able to approach within 500 yards of the object, which then began to outdistance the jets. At a distance of 1,000 yards, the pilot fired his guns at the UFO. Not surprisingly, the UFO was unaffected by the gunfire and vanished quickly in the distance.
Another jet fighter that had a shoot-out with a UFO occurred on September 19, 1976 over Tehran, Iran. [END OF EXCERPT]
EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER TEN: MINING DATA ON UFOS
One of the greatest mysteries surrounding the UFO phenomenon is: Why are they here? Most researchers agree that there are probably many reasons. The most popular theory by far is that UFOs are scientists and tourists, here only to study and observe. However the ET agenda appears to include a wide variety of goals, including abducting humans for genetic material, imparting warnings about the destruction of our environment, hovering over and studying nuclear power stations and other technological installations, collecting samples of flora and fauna...to name only a few types of UFO activity.
Another reason that has been raised to account for UFOs’ interest in planet Earth is mining. It may seem hard to believe that with their advanced technology, UFOs would need to travel all the way to Earth only to dig for precious metals. On the other hand, perhaps UFOs require rare metals for their craft.
Whatever the explanation, the number of cases involving UFOs and mines speaks for itself. Some of them provide very convincing evidence of UFO reality. Let’s examine these cases and see what they reveal about the UFO occupants and their agenda on Earth.
Belgian-Congo Mines
According to a 1952 CIA document released through the Freedom of Information Act, numerous witnesses observed two “fiery disks” perform incredible maneuvers directly over an active uranium mine located near Elizabethville in the southern part of Belgian-Congo. The objects hovered over the mine for at least fifteen minutes during which they glided in “elegant curves” and “changed their positions many times.”
When it became apparent that the mine was the target of the objects, Commander Pierre of the Elizabethville Airfield decided to take off and pursue the objects in his fighter plane.
He chased them for fifteen minutes, during which time they evaded him by dropping down to about 60 feet above the treetops, and finally speeding away at an estimated speed of more than 800 miles per hour. According to the CIA report, Pierre was considered a “dependable” witness. No explanation of the incident was included in the report.
Brush Creek Titanium Mine
In 1953 one of the world’s most unusual UFO-mine encounters took place outside a small isolated northern California town called Brush Creek. Today it remains a classic case in the UFO literature. The entire ordeal revolves around two titanium miners, John Black and John Van Allen, who had a series of encounters while working at their mine.
In early 1953, both Black and Van Allen observed a “metallic saucer” hover above the area of the mine. Over the next few weeks, the object returned on four separate occasions. On April 20, their concern mounted when Black saw the craft again from a distance of a quarter mile. It was obvious to the witnesses that the UFO had a strong interest in their mine.
Exactly one month later, at 6:30 PM on May 20, Black was returning to the mine when he saw the now familiar saucer rising up from the sandbar at the junction of Marble and Jordan creeks. The craft quickly took off towards the east and disappeared. On inspecting the area, Black found several small five-inch footprints.
Then exactly one month later again, on June 20, Black approached the junction of the two creeks when he saw what he thought was a small child with a bucket. At that point, he saw the large saucer landed nearby on the sandbar. Black examined the figure which he said appeared to be a small man wearing green pants, unusual shoes, a jacket and a green cap. He was very pale and had black hair. Says Black, “He looked like someone who had never been out in the sun much.”
Black watched as the man scooped up water with an unusual cone-shaped-bucket. Black had approached to about forty feet when the little man heard him and quickly entered a small metallic saucer that was landed on a sandbar. At that point, the craft took off quickly and in total silence, leaving Black amazed.
Somewhat concerned, Black contacted Brush Creek sheriff, Fred Preston. Black jokingly asked the sheriff if it was “open season on space men.” The sheriff, however, remained serious. “I told them they’d better grab it next time so they’ll have something to back up their story.” Preston then told them he couldn’t give them permission to shoot. He did, however, contact the Air Force.
The story was then leaked to the press and so began one of the strangest events in UFO history. Because the saucer had appeared on April 20, May 20 and June 20, everyone was predicting a July 20 landing. More than two hundred people arrived on the scene with cameras waiting. Residents of Brush Creek, newspaper reporters, cameramen and saucer enthusiasts all converged on the scene. Snack bars and chairs were set up as if people were going to watch a circus performance.
Unfortunately it was a total bust. The expected UFO did not arrive and the Brush Creek ordeal came to a sudden close. However the case has never been solved. The miners were well-respected and their testimony was backed up by Vi Belcher, owner of the local store who said they were “not drinking men.”
The account was investigated in depth by researchers Gray Barker and Paul Spade, both of whom were actually jailed by the Brush Creek sheriff’s station when they tried to conduct a stake-out for the saucer. Both came away convinced of the veracity of the case. Says Barker, “Spade made what I considered an objective investigation and reported that the story was evidently not a hoax...Whatever Black saw, the story sounds almost too good for someone to think up, especially when such a story is credited to an isolated miner who is not likely to be at all well-read on science-fiction.”
Paraburdoo Iron Mine
Located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, (about 950 miles northeast of Perth) Paraburdoo is a small mining town of about 2500 inhabitants. UFO researcher Ellis Taylor had received several reports of UFO sightings from the area in the past. Then one day he received another report. In this case the witnesses were able to take a series of photos as the object hovered directly over the local Paraburdoo mine.
The encounter occurred at 7:10 PM on August 30, 2006. The main witnesses are Rob & Jules, residents of the town. While sitting in their backyard, they and their children observed a “bright light” moving at a leisurely pace above the street at about treetop level. The light was oval-shaped and flashed orange and yellow.
The family watched as the object headed toward Radio Mountain and the Paraburdoo mine. Upon reaching the base of the mountain the object moved sideways, turned bright red and began to ascend up the side. Shortly later it reached the top of the mountain and the location of the mine, where it stopped and hovered.
Realizing that the object was unusual, Rob grabbed his camera and snapped several pictures. Meanwhile Rob’s neighbor Dave and his four children also observed the object. After about ten minutes the object began to rise slowly. It was a clear night and the small group of witnesses was able to watch the UFO until it became a small red dot high in the sky and finally disappeared.
Rob’s neighbor Dave turned to everyone and said, “I think we've just been visited by aliens.”
Unknown to the witnesses, other witnesses in Paraburdoo also observed the object. Researcher Ellis Taylor is convinced not only of the sincerity of the witnesses, but that they saw something genuinely unusual. Says Taylor, “They are a tight-knit community, born from their isolation, where get-togethers over a cold beer or ten and a barbie are everyday occurrences. They are good people, honest and down-to-earth. They don't waste their words and if they say they saw something, they did.”
Certainly the witnesses are convinced. Rob and Jules write: “This experience for us was the most awesome thing we have seen in our lives as we do believe we are not alone.”
Tucson Gold Mine
There are dozens of cases on record in which UFOs have been seen hovering over various mines. A stunning example occurred on December 28, 2001 over a gold mine in the desert outside of Tucson.
“I am a regular guy,” says the witness. “I am a four-year veteran of the Army...I have an Associate’s Degree in structural engineering, and an advanced degree in heavy equipment operation. My name is Barry.”
Barry was running the night shift, using a track hoe to feed an incinerator. His co-worker was a retired special forces Major. A winter storm was moving and there was a cloud ceiling at about 9500 feet.
Looking up, he was shocked to see an “immense craft” hovering over a nearby mountain, directly above a gold mine. Using the highway to gage the size, Barry estimated that the craft was more than a mile long. It had a row of sequential running lights which illuminated the cloud cover above it.
Says Barry, “My esteemed colleague got a deathly white sheen to his face and would not come out of his personal jeep...he was scared and he was babbling like a child. Me, I turned the track hoe to face it and kept flicking my day-lighters in the hope they could come and see who was behind those lights...I felt at ease--no panic. You see, I felt as these were my friends, like we had met before.”
The object disappeared and reappeared two more times in slightly different locations, but “never too far from this gold mine it was hovering over.”
The next night, two military attack Cobra helicopters hovered over Barry’s jobsite and just sat there in the sky until Barry finally turned on the floodlights. At that point, the helicopters circled the jobsite several times and then took off “directly towards that gold mine.”
Two weeks later, Barry’s co-worker quit, and made it clear that he never wanted to talk about what happened. Barry, however, says that he has had encounters in the past. Less than a year after the sighting, he reported it to the National UFO Reporting Center.
Pima Copper Mine
Just after midnight on July 22, 1971, an anonymous witness observed a strange “flat disk” with a “teardrop-shaped tail” and a bluish-glowing light around its exterior. The craft moved at a leisurely 45 MPH, directly over the west side of the waste dumps of Pima mine, about thirty miles south of Tucson, Arizona.
The witness was about 100 feet away and watched the craft rock back and forth, clearly under intelligent control, until finally darting off to the north. Only one week early, the witness saw another (or the same) craft moving from south to north, then turning at a right angle and moving off to the east where it disappeared.
He speculates that the craft are attracted to the area because of the mine. As he writes, ”There are several very high voltage high power lines supplying power to the mine plus a continual thermal updraft from the open pit copper mine.”
Another case in the same area occurred in November of 1980. George Parks was driving home late at night after working the night shift at the BHP Copper Mines in San Manuel, Arizona when his life changed forever. “Coming around the bend at Oracle Junction,” says Parks, “I saw a metallic craft hovering not far from the road. I saw seven windows. Behind every window stood a figure. An instant later, it flew off.”
Parks was amazed by his sighting. He was in the military for more than 20 years and never saw anything like that. He joined MUFON and became a field investigator. Before long he became the Pima County Section Director for MUFON, and later the Arizona State Director. Says Parks, “I’m still looking for answers.”
Lavender Pit Copper Mine
On June 27, 1947, (only a week before the Roswell UFO crash) John A. Petsche, an electrician employed at the Phelps-Dodge copper mines in Bisbee observed a silver mirror-like disk-shaped object move overhead. The object was silent and wobbled slightly as it moved.
Two other men working with Petsche also observed the object. All three agreed the object was unusual.
A mile and a half away three other mine employees including John Rylance (an electrician), I.W. Maxwell and Milton Luna reported watching the object--which they described as oval-shaped--move lower and lower until it suddenly landed on a hill nicknamed Tintown.
The object then took off, leaving a group of stunned miners. Reporters learned of the case and converged on the scene. Vernon C. McMinn, the gang boss for the group of electricians who had observed the object told reporters that several other employees at the mine had also seen the object and described the same thing.
Unknown to the mine employees, Major George B. Wilcox of the US Army observed eight or nine light-colored, disk-shaped craft move at a low elevation over the Bisbee area at the same time of the Bisbee mine sighting. The objects were evenly spaced in single file and moved with a dipping “rocking” motion.
Years later, in the 1980s, the UFOs came back for another visit. On this occasion, the witness (a former rocket scientist who worked as a telemetry collector and analyst for the NSA) was at a gas-station only a few hundred yards distant from the Lavender Pit copper mine, in Bisbee, Arizona. Suddenly he had a strange feeling that something was hovering above. Looking up, he saw a large metallic object about 250 feet up, glint in the setting sun. It appeared to be a metallic oblate spheroid, like a squashed sphere, about 100 feet in diameter. There were no signs of any rivets or seams and looked absolutely perfect. It was rock-solid stationary in the sky. “Do you see that?” he exclaimed to the gas-station owner.
“I sure do!” the gas-station owner replied.
They both stared in awe at the object, which was silent except for a low humming noise. It was so low to the ground that the witness considered throwing a stone at it, but decided that his actions might seem “unfriendly.” Both he and the gas-station owner felt that they were being observed by the occupants of the craft.
Several cars drove by, slowing down as they saw the object and then racing away along the road which winded along the circumference of the pit mine. Says the witness, “Nobody stopped, although they could be seen leaning down and forward briefly to get a better look.”
After several moments the craft wobbled slightly then moved at a slow pace directly over the mine for about a mile, then suddenly accelerated at extremely high speed upward toward the Queen Mine near Old Bisbee and took off to the west. Shortly later, the witness left the gas-station and was driving toward Old Bisbee when a jet fighter plane appeared, flew over the mine at a few hundred feet and followed the exact pathway of the UFO. Says the witness, “Our government knows about these things. Who is kidding who here?”
Were the ETs looking for copper? Another case (which occurred less than 200 miles away and a few months later) may provide the answer. On October 23, 1980 five men in Morenci, Arizona observed a large dull-black boomerang-shaped object approach the smokestacks of the local copper smelter plant. To their surprise, the object hovered over the smokestacks, sending down a brilliant beam of light into each one. At one point it dropped a small fireball. After about five minutes, the object moved quickly to the southwest.
One of the men, Joe Nevarez, wished that the object would return so he could see it better. At this point, the men were shocked to watch the object perform an instant reversal. It approached again, this time hovering over the slag dump of the smelter before moving north.
Researcher Richard Haines’s points out this case as an example of a CE-5, meaning the object’s behavior was affected by the witnesses, in this case, by Nevarez’s mental command for the object to return. The incident received national publicity.
According to the International Center for UFO Research (ICUR) in Scottsdale, throughout the 1980s, a huge boomerang-shaped object nearly a half-mile wide appeared repeatedly over the small town of Morenci. One sighting in particular was seen by hundreds of the residents. The object hovered in place for long enough so that everyone who was outside was able to see it. More than a hundred members of the Morenci High School observed the object, and described it as being “several football fields” in size. People throughout the town also watched it. The witnesses all agreed that it was covered with red and white lights on the underside which swept back in a boomerang shape.
Brian Myers of ICUR says that the same craft has also been reported frequently over the Hopi and Navajo reservations in the northeastern part of the state.
Gualcamayo Gold Mine
Located in the San Juan Province of Argentina, the Gualcamayo gold mine is an open-pit, heap-leach mine. On December 20, 2008, about twenty mine workers were heading back to their shanty for a break when one of them noticed something odd in the sky hovering over the mine area. [end of excerpt]

INTRODUCTION
It all began one November evening in 1986. I was watching the news on TV and heard about one of those ridiculous UFO sightings. The pilot of a Japanese commercial airline claimed to have seen a UFO while flying over Alaska. The newscasters laughed nervously, joked about the incident and moved on to the next news item.
But in that instant my life changed forever. I thought to myself, this pilot is lying. Maybe he was suffering from “highway hypnosis” and hallucinated the object. Perhaps it was just a reflection off the ice-cap. I later learned that the object was larger than his plane and paced it for several miles. It appeared on the jet’s onboard radar, and on ground radar, and was in view for nearly an hour.
None of these details were revealed on the news report about the incident, which interested me enough to mention it at the office where I worked. I soon got an incredible shock. The people that I had worked with for years began to tell me of their own UFO stories. One lady told me that she and her family saw a darting star-like object while camping in the San Bernardino Mountains of southern California. Another lady told me that she, her best friend and her mother were followed by a metallic disk with colored lights around the perimeter which hovered over their car as they drove home. It was strange, she said, because the drive which normally lasted five minutes took over an hour. Somehow they had lost time.
I then made the mistake of asking my friends and family. I learned that my brother and his two friends had seen a metallic object with colored lights and a dome shape on top in Reseda, California. My sister-in-law and her two friends observed three glowing objects over Van Nuys Air Force Reserve Base, in California. A close friend (and her friend) saw an egg-shaped object which emitted a low buzzing noise move overhead in Topanga, California. Another friend was with his girlfriend in Topanga Canyon when they saw a triangular formation of lights hovering in place low in the sky. The objects swooped at them, at which point they became disoriented and frightened and fled the area.
I continued to ask everyone I knew if they had ever encountered a UFO, and before long, I had an impressive collection of accounts. I was shocked. Could UFOs be real?
Determined to discover the truth, I went to the library to see if they had any books on the subject. I found a surprisingly wide variety. I quickly devoured them all--looking for the proof I hoped I would find--that UFOs can be explained as hoaxes, hallucinations or misperceptions.
Instead the books told of stunning encounters involving multiple witnesses, supported by radar returns and landing traces, medical effects (both injuries and healings) animal reactions, electromagnetic effects and more. I learned that the phenomena had been studied for decades and that there was an apparent cover-up by the US government which considered the subject Top Secret and of extremely high importance.
Finding out that UFOs were real was not good news. It hit me like a ton of bricks and caused me to reevaluate my entire worldview. Earth was being invaded by aliens and yet mainstream society seemed to be entirely ignorant of the fact.
I began to formally interview witnesses and decided to write an article for the local paper. I was surprised when the editor put the story on the front page of the Topanga “Messenger,” making it the lead story. This brought in more reports. I began to subscribe to UFO magazines and journals and join any UFO groups I could find. I attended local meetings and conventions. Before long, I found myself actively investigating UFO incidents.
I began to write articles for various magazines and in 1996, wrote my first book. I began to appear on radio shows, which led to multiple television appearances.
In a few short years, UFOs had effectively taken over my life. Fast forward thirty years later, and I have now interviewed hundreds of witnesses and investigated UFO encounters of virtually every type. I have written twelve books about UFOs and six about the paranormal. I have also written more than 100 articles examining the various aspects of this very complex phenomenon.
One day I took all my articles out to review them and realized I was sitting on an enormous amount of UFO information. A good portion of my UFO research was available only in these articles, which were now very rare and difficult to find.
And so the idea for this book was born. This book is a collection of ten of my UFO articles, each representing the cutting edge of UFO research. Each article explores a different facet of the UFO phenomenon and is supported by firsthand cases.
My specialty--I think--has been the ability to review a large amount of data from a wide variety of sources and come up with unique insights and unusual patterns. With thirty years of UFO research under my belt, and more than 100 articles to choose from, the selection was based on several factors. I wanted to include some of my early work and some of my later articles. I also wanted to explore a wide variety of topics. My ultimate goal was to provide a comprehensive overview of the phenomenon, including everything from sightings and landings, to abductions, UFO crashes and stories of the government cover-up. I also had one rule: the articles would not contain information that’s already available in one of my books.
All the articles in this book are original and have never been published in book form.
In “Conversations with Extraterrestrials,” I explore cases in which people have held conversations with ETs, and learned information about their agenda on Earth.
“Phone Call from an Alien” explores a rare type of contact during with people receive phone calls or even radio messages from an extraterrestrial or UFO.
What happens when a person shoots a gun at a UFO? “UFO--Don’t Shoot!” presents more than a dozen cases in which people have had a shoot-out with a UFO or alien.
It is well-known among UFO researchers that ETs are conducting an extensive study of our planet. “Alien Zoos” presents cases in which people have seen animals both earthly and extraterrestrial aboard UFOs.
“UFOs over Graveyards” is a spooky and sometimes bone-chilling look into cases in which UFOs have shown an undue interest in cemeteries.
While many people claim to have seen aliens aboard UFOs, much rarer are cases in which ETs have been seen mingling among the human population. “Aliens Among Us” presents more than a dozen cases in which ETs have been seen in some very unexpected places including subways, casinos, hotels, restaurants, bookstores and more.
“The Alien-Clown Connection” is a creepy expose of cases involving ETs who use the image of a clown (or something else) as a screen-memory in an apparent attempt to hide their identity.
Is it dangerous to investigate UFOs? “The Intimidation and Murder of UFO Witnesses” shows that having conclusive evidence or solid proof of UFOs can sometimes be a very dangerous thing.
The United States Government has been accused of withholding UFO hardware. “Exposed--Project Redlight” presents a compelling case that the US Military has not only captured UFOs, but are actually flying them around.
In the final article, “Mining Data on UFOs,” I explore one of the many alien agendas: cases in which UFOs target mines, apparently for the purpose of taking precious ores and metals from our planet.
While the articles in this collection have been previously published in various magazines and journals, they have never before been available in book form, and most of them have been edited to include new and current information. In addition to the articles, I have added a behind the scenes section in which I tell the story of how each article came to be written and in some cases the consequences that occurred after publication.
Finally, each article is illustrated by award winning UFO artist, Kesara.
This book presents the cutting edge of UFO research. Are you ready to learn the truth about UFOs?
EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER TWO: PHONE CALL FROM AN ALIEN
UFO contact comes in many different forms. Some people have sightings of craft. Others have onboard experiences. Some experience bedroom visitations with ETs. Others have only telepathic contact or even claim to channel ETs. But there is another form of contact that is so rare, there have been only a few reported cases. These unique cases involve UFO contact through a simple instrument found in most homes--the telephone. As bizarre as this sounds, enough accounts have turned up to merit a serious investigation.
Jack Sarfatti is today a prominent quantum physicist. Unknown to many, however, is that he may owe some of his success to a very unusual experience -- a phone call from a flying saucer! The whole ordeal began more than fifty years ago.
Says Sarfatti, “In 1952 and 1953, when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, I received a phone call...in which a mechanical sounding voice at the other end said it was a computer on board a flying saucer. They wanted to teach me something and would I be willing? This was my free choice. Would I be willing to be taught – to communicate with them? I remember a shiver going up my spine, because I said, ‘Hey, man, this is real.’ Of course, I was kid...but I said, ‘yes.’”
Sarfatti was impressed. He ran and got his friends, and they gathered together in his bedroom, awaiting the upcoming promised contact. Unfortunately, nothing occurred, and Sarfatti assumed at first that it was just a clever practical joke.
At this point, his memory of the event strangely ends. But according to Sarfatti’s mother, the first phone call was followed by a series of similar phone calls--each giving Sarfatti information that would leave him forever changed. Says Sarfatti, “My mother remembers this experience very well. It turns out that I had forgotten most of it. This was really something that occurred over several weeks. Apparently what happened, which is completely blanked from my memory but not from hers, was that I continually received phone calls, many phone calls from the same source. My mother says I was walking around really strange. She began to get worried about me. Finally, one day she picked up the phone, and she heard this computer. She remembers the voices...She said, ‘Leave my boy alone!’ The Jewish mother talking to the flying saucer or whatever they were. My mother has a strong personality. And that was the end of it. We never got another phone call after that.”
While Sarfatti is unable to consciously recall the messages given to him, his pioneering career as a quantum physicist may hold some of the answers. He championed Bell’s theorem which is based on the Einstein-Rosen-Podolsky quantum physics experiments regarding the possibility that subatomic particles behave in a way that indicates some sort of “telepathic communication with each other.” Einstein felt that such a possibility was “absurd.” However, current experiments have proven, as Sarfatti claimed, that subatomic particles are in fact connected with each other “non-locally.” Sarfatti is today a leading authority on the physics of consciousness.
A remarkably similar case comes from the files of leading abduction investigator, Budd Hopkins [END OF EXCERPT]
EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER THREE: UFO--DON'T SHOOT!
When confronted with the unknown, it seems to be a basic law of human nature to shoot first and ask questions later. Rightly or wrongly, many of us perceive the unknown as a threat, and take appropriate precautions to protect ourselves--fight or flight. Given the prevalence of firearms in modern society, the expression of self-protection often involves a gun of some sort. And given further that UFOs represent the unknown--if anything does!--it should come as no surprise that there are several occasions when humans have taken up arms against these strange flying objects and/or their occupants.
What happens when the interaction between humans and UFOs escalates to violent conflict? What happens, for example, when a person actually fires a gun at a UFO or shoots at an alleged entity? For that matter, what happens when the UFO fires back? Let’s examine the record of shoot-outs between humans and unidentified flying objects.
One of the first recorded cases of a UFO being fired upon occurred on February 25, 1942. It was only a few months after the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor when Los Angeles was invaded by several large UFOs hovering overhead. The entire city enforced a mandatory blackout while the military scrambled to confront what they thought were Japanese aircraft. The UFOs were caught in the beam of several search lights, and the military proceeded to fire upon the objects. Altogether about 1,430 rounds of ammunition were fired at the aerial objects with no visible effect whatsoever. On the ground, however, it was a different story: several buildings and homes were extensively damaged and at least six civilians died, resulting in a subsequent Congressional investigation.
A similar event reportedly occurred in the Soviet Union on July 24, 1957. Several UFOs were sighted over the Kouril Islands and Russian anti-aircraft batteries went into action. The repeated attacks failed to bring down any UFOs.
There are also cases where jet-fighters have fired upon UFOs. One example occurred when two F-6s were scrambled to intercept a UFO that had appeared on radar, clocked at a speed of 700 MPH. At top speed, one of the jets was able to approach within 500 yards of the object, which then began to outdistance the jets. At a distance of 1,000 yards, the pilot fired his guns at the UFO. Not surprisingly, the UFO was unaffected by the gunfire and vanished quickly in the distance.
Another jet fighter that had a shoot-out with a UFO occurred on September 19, 1976 over Tehran, Iran. [END OF EXCERPT]
EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER TEN: MINING DATA ON UFOS
One of the greatest mysteries surrounding the UFO phenomenon is: Why are they here? Most researchers agree that there are probably many reasons. The most popular theory by far is that UFOs are scientists and tourists, here only to study and observe. However the ET agenda appears to include a wide variety of goals, including abducting humans for genetic material, imparting warnings about the destruction of our environment, hovering over and studying nuclear power stations and other technological installations, collecting samples of flora and fauna...to name only a few types of UFO activity.
Another reason that has been raised to account for UFOs’ interest in planet Earth is mining. It may seem hard to believe that with their advanced technology, UFOs would need to travel all the way to Earth only to dig for precious metals. On the other hand, perhaps UFOs require rare metals for their craft.
Whatever the explanation, the number of cases involving UFOs and mines speaks for itself. Some of them provide very convincing evidence of UFO reality. Let’s examine these cases and see what they reveal about the UFO occupants and their agenda on Earth.
Belgian-Congo Mines
According to a 1952 CIA document released through the Freedom of Information Act, numerous witnesses observed two “fiery disks” perform incredible maneuvers directly over an active uranium mine located near Elizabethville in the southern part of Belgian-Congo. The objects hovered over the mine for at least fifteen minutes during which they glided in “elegant curves” and “changed their positions many times.”
When it became apparent that the mine was the target of the objects, Commander Pierre of the Elizabethville Airfield decided to take off and pursue the objects in his fighter plane.
He chased them for fifteen minutes, during which time they evaded him by dropping down to about 60 feet above the treetops, and finally speeding away at an estimated speed of more than 800 miles per hour. According to the CIA report, Pierre was considered a “dependable” witness. No explanation of the incident was included in the report.
Brush Creek Titanium Mine
In 1953 one of the world’s most unusual UFO-mine encounters took place outside a small isolated northern California town called Brush Creek. Today it remains a classic case in the UFO literature. The entire ordeal revolves around two titanium miners, John Black and John Van Allen, who had a series of encounters while working at their mine.
In early 1953, both Black and Van Allen observed a “metallic saucer” hover above the area of the mine. Over the next few weeks, the object returned on four separate occasions. On April 20, their concern mounted when Black saw the craft again from a distance of a quarter mile. It was obvious to the witnesses that the UFO had a strong interest in their mine.
Exactly one month later, at 6:30 PM on May 20, Black was returning to the mine when he saw the now familiar saucer rising up from the sandbar at the junction of Marble and Jordan creeks. The craft quickly took off towards the east and disappeared. On inspecting the area, Black found several small five-inch footprints.
Then exactly one month later again, on June 20, Black approached the junction of the two creeks when he saw what he thought was a small child with a bucket. At that point, he saw the large saucer landed nearby on the sandbar. Black examined the figure which he said appeared to be a small man wearing green pants, unusual shoes, a jacket and a green cap. He was very pale and had black hair. Says Black, “He looked like someone who had never been out in the sun much.”
Black watched as the man scooped up water with an unusual cone-shaped-bucket. Black had approached to about forty feet when the little man heard him and quickly entered a small metallic saucer that was landed on a sandbar. At that point, the craft took off quickly and in total silence, leaving Black amazed.
Somewhat concerned, Black contacted Brush Creek sheriff, Fred Preston. Black jokingly asked the sheriff if it was “open season on space men.” The sheriff, however, remained serious. “I told them they’d better grab it next time so they’ll have something to back up their story.” Preston then told them he couldn’t give them permission to shoot. He did, however, contact the Air Force.
The story was then leaked to the press and so began one of the strangest events in UFO history. Because the saucer had appeared on April 20, May 20 and June 20, everyone was predicting a July 20 landing. More than two hundred people arrived on the scene with cameras waiting. Residents of Brush Creek, newspaper reporters, cameramen and saucer enthusiasts all converged on the scene. Snack bars and chairs were set up as if people were going to watch a circus performance.
Unfortunately it was a total bust. The expected UFO did not arrive and the Brush Creek ordeal came to a sudden close. However the case has never been solved. The miners were well-respected and their testimony was backed up by Vi Belcher, owner of the local store who said they were “not drinking men.”
The account was investigated in depth by researchers Gray Barker and Paul Spade, both of whom were actually jailed by the Brush Creek sheriff’s station when they tried to conduct a stake-out for the saucer. Both came away convinced of the veracity of the case. Says Barker, “Spade made what I considered an objective investigation and reported that the story was evidently not a hoax...Whatever Black saw, the story sounds almost too good for someone to think up, especially when such a story is credited to an isolated miner who is not likely to be at all well-read on science-fiction.”
Paraburdoo Iron Mine
Located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, (about 950 miles northeast of Perth) Paraburdoo is a small mining town of about 2500 inhabitants. UFO researcher Ellis Taylor had received several reports of UFO sightings from the area in the past. Then one day he received another report. In this case the witnesses were able to take a series of photos as the object hovered directly over the local Paraburdoo mine.
The encounter occurred at 7:10 PM on August 30, 2006. The main witnesses are Rob & Jules, residents of the town. While sitting in their backyard, they and their children observed a “bright light” moving at a leisurely pace above the street at about treetop level. The light was oval-shaped and flashed orange and yellow.
The family watched as the object headed toward Radio Mountain and the Paraburdoo mine. Upon reaching the base of the mountain the object moved sideways, turned bright red and began to ascend up the side. Shortly later it reached the top of the mountain and the location of the mine, where it stopped and hovered.
Realizing that the object was unusual, Rob grabbed his camera and snapped several pictures. Meanwhile Rob’s neighbor Dave and his four children also observed the object. After about ten minutes the object began to rise slowly. It was a clear night and the small group of witnesses was able to watch the UFO until it became a small red dot high in the sky and finally disappeared.
Rob’s neighbor Dave turned to everyone and said, “I think we've just been visited by aliens.”
Unknown to the witnesses, other witnesses in Paraburdoo also observed the object. Researcher Ellis Taylor is convinced not only of the sincerity of the witnesses, but that they saw something genuinely unusual. Says Taylor, “They are a tight-knit community, born from their isolation, where get-togethers over a cold beer or ten and a barbie are everyday occurrences. They are good people, honest and down-to-earth. They don't waste their words and if they say they saw something, they did.”
Certainly the witnesses are convinced. Rob and Jules write: “This experience for us was the most awesome thing we have seen in our lives as we do believe we are not alone.”
Tucson Gold Mine
There are dozens of cases on record in which UFOs have been seen hovering over various mines. A stunning example occurred on December 28, 2001 over a gold mine in the desert outside of Tucson.
“I am a regular guy,” says the witness. “I am a four-year veteran of the Army...I have an Associate’s Degree in structural engineering, and an advanced degree in heavy equipment operation. My name is Barry.”
Barry was running the night shift, using a track hoe to feed an incinerator. His co-worker was a retired special forces Major. A winter storm was moving and there was a cloud ceiling at about 9500 feet.
Looking up, he was shocked to see an “immense craft” hovering over a nearby mountain, directly above a gold mine. Using the highway to gage the size, Barry estimated that the craft was more than a mile long. It had a row of sequential running lights which illuminated the cloud cover above it.
Says Barry, “My esteemed colleague got a deathly white sheen to his face and would not come out of his personal jeep...he was scared and he was babbling like a child. Me, I turned the track hoe to face it and kept flicking my day-lighters in the hope they could come and see who was behind those lights...I felt at ease--no panic. You see, I felt as these were my friends, like we had met before.”
The object disappeared and reappeared two more times in slightly different locations, but “never too far from this gold mine it was hovering over.”
The next night, two military attack Cobra helicopters hovered over Barry’s jobsite and just sat there in the sky until Barry finally turned on the floodlights. At that point, the helicopters circled the jobsite several times and then took off “directly towards that gold mine.”
Two weeks later, Barry’s co-worker quit, and made it clear that he never wanted to talk about what happened. Barry, however, says that he has had encounters in the past. Less than a year after the sighting, he reported it to the National UFO Reporting Center.
Pima Copper Mine
Just after midnight on July 22, 1971, an anonymous witness observed a strange “flat disk” with a “teardrop-shaped tail” and a bluish-glowing light around its exterior. The craft moved at a leisurely 45 MPH, directly over the west side of the waste dumps of Pima mine, about thirty miles south of Tucson, Arizona.
The witness was about 100 feet away and watched the craft rock back and forth, clearly under intelligent control, until finally darting off to the north. Only one week early, the witness saw another (or the same) craft moving from south to north, then turning at a right angle and moving off to the east where it disappeared.
He speculates that the craft are attracted to the area because of the mine. As he writes, ”There are several very high voltage high power lines supplying power to the mine plus a continual thermal updraft from the open pit copper mine.”
Another case in the same area occurred in November of 1980. George Parks was driving home late at night after working the night shift at the BHP Copper Mines in San Manuel, Arizona when his life changed forever. “Coming around the bend at Oracle Junction,” says Parks, “I saw a metallic craft hovering not far from the road. I saw seven windows. Behind every window stood a figure. An instant later, it flew off.”
Parks was amazed by his sighting. He was in the military for more than 20 years and never saw anything like that. He joined MUFON and became a field investigator. Before long he became the Pima County Section Director for MUFON, and later the Arizona State Director. Says Parks, “I’m still looking for answers.”
Lavender Pit Copper Mine
On June 27, 1947, (only a week before the Roswell UFO crash) John A. Petsche, an electrician employed at the Phelps-Dodge copper mines in Bisbee observed a silver mirror-like disk-shaped object move overhead. The object was silent and wobbled slightly as it moved.
Two other men working with Petsche also observed the object. All three agreed the object was unusual.
A mile and a half away three other mine employees including John Rylance (an electrician), I.W. Maxwell and Milton Luna reported watching the object--which they described as oval-shaped--move lower and lower until it suddenly landed on a hill nicknamed Tintown.
The object then took off, leaving a group of stunned miners. Reporters learned of the case and converged on the scene. Vernon C. McMinn, the gang boss for the group of electricians who had observed the object told reporters that several other employees at the mine had also seen the object and described the same thing.
Unknown to the mine employees, Major George B. Wilcox of the US Army observed eight or nine light-colored, disk-shaped craft move at a low elevation over the Bisbee area at the same time of the Bisbee mine sighting. The objects were evenly spaced in single file and moved with a dipping “rocking” motion.
Years later, in the 1980s, the UFOs came back for another visit. On this occasion, the witness (a former rocket scientist who worked as a telemetry collector and analyst for the NSA) was at a gas-station only a few hundred yards distant from the Lavender Pit copper mine, in Bisbee, Arizona. Suddenly he had a strange feeling that something was hovering above. Looking up, he saw a large metallic object about 250 feet up, glint in the setting sun. It appeared to be a metallic oblate spheroid, like a squashed sphere, about 100 feet in diameter. There were no signs of any rivets or seams and looked absolutely perfect. It was rock-solid stationary in the sky. “Do you see that?” he exclaimed to the gas-station owner.
“I sure do!” the gas-station owner replied.
They both stared in awe at the object, which was silent except for a low humming noise. It was so low to the ground that the witness considered throwing a stone at it, but decided that his actions might seem “unfriendly.” Both he and the gas-station owner felt that they were being observed by the occupants of the craft.
Several cars drove by, slowing down as they saw the object and then racing away along the road which winded along the circumference of the pit mine. Says the witness, “Nobody stopped, although they could be seen leaning down and forward briefly to get a better look.”
After several moments the craft wobbled slightly then moved at a slow pace directly over the mine for about a mile, then suddenly accelerated at extremely high speed upward toward the Queen Mine near Old Bisbee and took off to the west. Shortly later, the witness left the gas-station and was driving toward Old Bisbee when a jet fighter plane appeared, flew over the mine at a few hundred feet and followed the exact pathway of the UFO. Says the witness, “Our government knows about these things. Who is kidding who here?”
Were the ETs looking for copper? Another case (which occurred less than 200 miles away and a few months later) may provide the answer. On October 23, 1980 five men in Morenci, Arizona observed a large dull-black boomerang-shaped object approach the smokestacks of the local copper smelter plant. To their surprise, the object hovered over the smokestacks, sending down a brilliant beam of light into each one. At one point it dropped a small fireball. After about five minutes, the object moved quickly to the southwest.
One of the men, Joe Nevarez, wished that the object would return so he could see it better. At this point, the men were shocked to watch the object perform an instant reversal. It approached again, this time hovering over the slag dump of the smelter before moving north.
Researcher Richard Haines’s points out this case as an example of a CE-5, meaning the object’s behavior was affected by the witnesses, in this case, by Nevarez’s mental command for the object to return. The incident received national publicity.
According to the International Center for UFO Research (ICUR) in Scottsdale, throughout the 1980s, a huge boomerang-shaped object nearly a half-mile wide appeared repeatedly over the small town of Morenci. One sighting in particular was seen by hundreds of the residents. The object hovered in place for long enough so that everyone who was outside was able to see it. More than a hundred members of the Morenci High School observed the object, and described it as being “several football fields” in size. People throughout the town also watched it. The witnesses all agreed that it was covered with red and white lights on the underside which swept back in a boomerang shape.
Brian Myers of ICUR says that the same craft has also been reported frequently over the Hopi and Navajo reservations in the northeastern part of the state.
Gualcamayo Gold Mine
Located in the San Juan Province of Argentina, the Gualcamayo gold mine is an open-pit, heap-leach mine. On December 20, 2008, about twenty mine workers were heading back to their shanty for a break when one of them noticed something odd in the sky hovering over the mine area. [end of excerpt]
Please note that the above excerpts represent only a small portion of each chapter. The articles themselves are much longer and present many additional cases.
