    Editorial: Genesis!

    by Carlos A. Steffens (1:109/160)

    A new year and with it comes a new computerized magazine: EUFON. EUFON
    will attempt to provide some sort of uniformity to UFO researchers.
    Because the articles published in EUFON are from real people, you will
    be exposed to real investigations and real experiences. Any person can
    submit an article, you do not have to be a recognized authority in the
    field anymore. For that same reason, we encourage you to get in touch
    with the authors of the articles you find relevant so that you can
    arrive at your own conclusions. Finally, you will also find in EUFON
    the announcement of the latest activities dealing with UFOs, such as symposiums, meetings, and others. In short, EUFON will keep you up to
    date as to what is happening in the UFO investigation arena.

    In this first issue, you'll find the report of UFO sightings for the
    year 1991 as updated by the National Sighting Research Center. It is a
    very comprehensive statistical study of UFO related phenomena and comes courtesy of The MUFON-Net BBS. You will also find George P. Hansen's
    open letter regarding the controversial Linda Napolitano abduction case. Finally, you will read the latest regarding the United Nations and their efforts regarding UFO investigations. EUFON will attempt to include a
    monthly book review. This month's book is "The Montauk Project".

    Because all articles published in EUFON are provided by people
    interested in UFO, we encourage you to submit articles with the results
    of your own investigations, as well as your opinions on current cases,
    issues, or other articles seen here. Although this issue is rather
    short, we hope that, with your contributions, we will grow to be a comprehensive review of what is going on in ufology. EUFONews 1 - 1

    - UPDATE -

    by Paul Ferrughelli

    1991: THE UFO YEAR IN REVIEW

    BACKGROUND

    1991 was definitely a Year of Change. For the first time in
    five years, UFO reports described as "lights/illumina-
    tions" out numbered the reports of "objects/shapes".
    Lights and Illuminations represented 57.4% of 201
    reported sightings. Another changed characteristic for
    1991 was the Peak Month of UFO sighting activity. Janu-
    ary became the peak month of UFO sightings, compris-
    ing 15% of the total for the whole year. (See Figure 1 ) For
    the past two years, October had been the Peak Month
    for UFO reports, but in 1991, October ranked LAST. The
    summer months were more active than in 1990.

    STATE SIGHTING BREAKDOWN

    Florida was the leader by a Substantial margin, Florida
    reported 54 sightings for 1991...83% (45) of these sight-
    ings were described as "lights/illuminations". Of the
    Florida total, Gulf Breeze reported 63% (34) of the
    Florida total. Indiana led the nation (7) in reporting Close
    Encounter UFO sightings. A usually quiet state, North
    Carolina ranked 4th in 1991 with 14 UFO reports and 5
    Close Encounter Sightings (CES). Other States with
    higher than normal averages were, Oregon and New
    Hampshire.

    New Jersey ranked 9th in 1991 with 4 UFO Sightings. All
    four reports were of "Objects/Shapes" and were observed
    during night time visibility. Two of the four reports
    were CES.

    TIME OF DAY

    A surprise for 1991 was the Peak Time of Day for UFO
    reports. (Refer to Figure 4) The mode (peak) time is
    clearly 8:00 P.M. represents 21% sightings and the
    normal lull activity time was between 6:00 A.M. and 5:00
    P.M were only 9.3% of the sightings occurred. A consis-
    tent pattern over the past five years has been to observe
    UFO sighting activity in the LATE HOURS of the evening.

    RECURRING SIGHTING LOCATIONS

    In 1991 there were 20 towns or cities in 13 states report-
    ing a total of 96 UFO sightings. Those twenty towns
    reported two or more sightings within the 12 month
    EUFONews 1 - 1 Page 3 01 Jan 1993


    period of 1991. Those 96 sightings represent 48% of
    the total reports for 1991. This is higher than normal but
    not unusual due to Gulf Breeze, Florida, reporting 34
    sightings.

    HYNEK CLASS BREAKDOWN

    Nocturnal Lights accounted for 74.5% of the total
    reports, this is higher than the five year average
    of 67%. Daylight Disc reports for 1991 were
    5.5%, which is lower than the five years average
    or 8.3%. The Close Encounter Sightings (CES)
    were also lower representing only 18% of the
    total, the five year average is 22%

    OBSERVATIONS

    Although 1991 was a year of change in some aspects of
    the UFO phenomena, there were no significant events
    that occurred. The fact that 57.5% of the total sightings
    were of lights/illuminations (15% higher than the five year
    average) may be significant in that it may be related to
    the 8:00 P.M. Peak Time for sightings (this has not oc-
    curred in the past 5 years). The quality of sightings
    occurring at 8:00 P.M. was actually higher than the five
    year average for the Combined Peak Times. There
    were 14 reports of Trace Cases of Crop Circles in the
    USA in 1991 (these were not included in the UFO data
    and are only considered applicable if a UFO was
    observed before or after the event).

    There were several odd "probability" sighting cases in
    1991. There were two Deltoid sightings in North Carolina
    which occurred during the day in two separate towns at
    the SAME time of day, 11:45 A.M. These two reports
    occurred within 2 months of each other. The duration of
    these Deltoid reports were 3 seconds and 4 seconds in
    length. What is the probability of two Deltoid reports to
    occur at the same time, and have a duration almost
    exactly the same? There were three reports of "Rec-
    tangular" shaped objects in Pennsylvania, two on the
    same day and both with five weeks of each other.
    Gulf Breeze, Florida is still reporting high numbers of
    UFO reports in 1991. Several of these sightings have
    been documented of video tape. Many of the Gulf
    Breeze reports were that of a single "red light". When
    looking at the sighting data over the past five years of
    with respect to COLOR ONLY, Red was the leading
    color.

    Attempted Murder vs. The Politics of Ufology:

    A Question of Priorities in the Linda Napolitano Case


    by George P. Hansen


    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    ABSTRACT: UFO abductee Linda Napolitano claims that she was kidnapped, assaulted, battered, harassed, and nearly drowned by two agents of the
    U.S. government. Prominent ufologists Budd Hopkins, John E. Mack, David
    M. Jacobs, Jerome Clark and Walter H. Andrus, Jr. accept these claims.
    Hopkins has collected extensive materials that could be used to help
    apprehend and convict the agents. Yet Hopkins, Clark and Andrus have vigorously argued that these crimes should not be reported to law
    enforcement authorities; they indicate that such could be "politically damaging" to UFO research. These ufologists are asked to defend their
    decision and priorities. -----------------------------------------------------------------

    Budd Hopkins' case involving the abduction of Linda Napolitano by a UFO
    has been discussed in the Wall Street Journal (May 14, 1992, pp. A1,
    A10), Omni (April 1992, p. 75), Paris Match (17 Sept. 92, pp. 13-14, 18,
    96, 98), and the New York Times (October 5, 1992, pp. B1, B2). The
    Mufon UFO Journal labeled it "The Abduction Case of the Century" (August
    1992, p. 9). By virtue of this intense interest, it will become an
    exemplar for the study of UFO abductions.

    Briefly, it is asserted that at about 3:15 a.m. on November 30, 1989,
    Linda Napolitano floated out of her 12th floor apartment in lower
    Manhattan. Allegedly three witnesses in a car about two blocks away
    observed Linda and three humanoid figures emerge from a window and
    ascend into a craft hovering over her building. Two of the witnesses,
    Richard and Dan, were government security officers who were guarding the
    third witness, a dignitary. More than a year after the case, Richard
    and Dan wrote to Hopkins describing what they saw, and a few weeks later
    they visited Linda in her apartment. Hopkins has never met these two
    but has over 80 pages of letters from them, and he has accumulated much
    other material pertinent to the case.

    The affair is quite complex, and the story is now only beginning to be
    EUFONews 1 - 1 Page 6 01 Jan 1993


    told. Hopkins presented a few details at the 1992 MUFON convention in Albuquerque and then in the September 1992 issue of the Mufon UFO
    Journal. One of the most disturbing elements of the case is that
    felonies were allegedly committed by the government agents; these
    include assault, battery, kidnapping and attempted murder.

    Hopkins' published account of this aspect is so sketchy that some might consider it deliberately misleading. His entire written summary is only
    one sentence long: "In April and again in October 1991, Linda would
    suffer hours- long forced confinements and interrogations at the hands
    of these confused frightened `law-enforcement' officers; she would be
    struck by a car during a chase through the streets of lower Manhattan"
    (Mufon UFO Journal, September 1992, pp. 13, 14). Hopkins' brief
    statement hardly conveys the gravity of the situation. It suggests that
    he may have taken these matters much too lightly.

    The kidnappings and attempted murder

    On January 28, 1992, Linda Napolitano contacted Richard Butler and
    requested a meeting because she was concerned about her personal safety,
    and she was worried that Hopkins might not be able to adequately protect
    her. Linda had earlier become friends with Butler at meetings in the
    home of Budd Hopkins. On February 1, 1992, Linda met with Butler along
    with Joseph Stefula, a former Special Agent with the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command who has extensive contacts in law enforcement.

    During the meeting, Linda stated that in April 1991 she encountered
    security agent Richard on the street near her apartment. She was asked
    to get into a car that Dan was driving, but she refused. Richard then
    picked her up and, with some struggle, forced her into the automobile.
    Linda reported that she was driven around for 3 1/2 hours and
    interrogated about the aliens.

    At the MUFON symposium in July 1992, Linda was asked if she had reported
    the kidnapping to the police. She said that she had not and went on to
    say that the kidnapping was legal because it had to do with national
    security; she later commented that she did not want to go head to head
    with a government agency because she might be killed and pieces of her
    might be found in the East River (Hopkins did not dispute these
    statements). Linda did remember another car being involved with the kidnapping, and under hypnotic regression she recalled the license plate
    number of that automobile, as well as part of the number of the car she
    was in. Hopkins reports that the numbers have been traced to particular agencies.

    During the February 1 meeting with Stefula and Butler, Linda reported
    that on the morning of October 15, 1991, Dan pulled her into a red
    Jaguar sports car. Linda happened to be carrying a tape recorder and
    was able to surreptitiously record a small part of Dan's questioning,
    but within a few minutes he discovered and confiscated it. Dan drove to
    a beach house on the shore of Long Island. There he demanded that Linda
    remove her clothes and put on a white nightgown, similar to the one she
    wore the night of the UFO abduction. He said he wanted to have sex with
    her. She refused but then agreed to put on the nightgown over her
    clothes. Once she did, Dan dropped to his knees and started to talk incoherently about her being the "Lady of the Sands." She fled the
    beach house, but Dan caught her on the beach and bent her arm behind
    EUFONews 1 - 1 Page 7 01 Jan 1993


    her. He placed two fingers on the back of her neck, leading Linda to
    believe that it was a gun. He then forced her into the water and pushed
    her head under twice. He continued to rave incoherently, and as her
    head was being pushed under for the third time, she believed that she
    would not come up again. Then, a "force" hit Dan and knocked him back
    onto the beach. Linda started to run but heard a sound like a gun being cocked. She looked back and saw Dan taking a picture of her (the
    pictures were eventually sent to Hopkins). She continued to move, but
    Richard came running, seemingly out of nowhere. He stopped her and
    convinced her to return to the beach house, and he told her that he
    would control Dan by giving him a Mickey Finn. She agreed to the plan.
    Once inside, Richard put Dan in the shower to wash off the mud from the
    beach. This gave Linda a chance to search the premises; she recovered
    her cassette tape and discovered stationery bearing a Central
    Intelligence Agency letterhead.

    In a brief conversation on October 3, 1992, Hopkins told me that Linda
    came to him shortly after she arrived back in Manhattan after the
    kidnapping. She was disheveled, had sand in her hair, and was
    traumatized by the experience.

    Linda also reported to Stefula and Butler that on December 15 and
    December 16, 1991, one of the men had tried to make contact with her
    near the shopping area of the South Street Seaport. He was driving a
    large black Fleetwood sedan with Saudi Arabian United Nations license
    plates. To avoid him, Linda said that she went into a shop during the
    first incident. The second day a similar thing happened, and she stood
    next to some businessmen until he left the area.

    Evidence accumulated by Hopkins

    Hopkins reports accumulating much information about the identities of
    Richard and Dan, and this could be extremely helpful in a criminal investigation. He has approximately 80 pages of letters from the two
    men. These might potentially be used to identify typewriters on which
    they were produced. They may also contain fingerprints. Hopkins has
    tape recordings of Richard and Dan; perhaps these could be used to help identify them by voiceprints. Hopkins claims to know which government
    agency employs the two. He says that he knows the identity of the
    dignitary they were guarding, and this person should be in a position to
    help locate and identify Richard and Dan. (Linda told Stefula and
    Butler that the dignitary was Javier Perez de Cuellar, then Secretary
    General of the United Nations.)

    The counsel of ufology's leaders

    The reader may be tempted to dismiss Linda's account as a preposterous
    script for a grade B movie, and I personally do not believe her claims. However, several notable figures in ufology have expressed the
    conviction that Linda is telling the truth. On October 6, 1992, I spoke
    with Dr. John Mack, former head of the psychiatry department at Harvard
    Medical School, and he confirmed that he had met Linda and concluded
    that she was not the type of person to make up this kind of story. That
    same day I also spoke with David Jacobs, a professor of history at
    Temple University, an abduction research colleague of Budd Hopkins, and
    author of the book Secret Life. He too believed that Linda was telling
    the truth.
    EUFONews 1 - 1 Page 8 01 Jan 1993



    Hopkins presented additional secret evidence to Walter Andrus and Jerome
    Clark who are now both persuaded of Linda's honesty. Andrus and Clark
    are arguably the two most influential figures in U.S. ufology. Andrus is International Director of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), and he
    organizes the largest annual conference on UFOs in the country and
    regularly writes for MUFON's monthly magazine. Clark is a columnist for
    Fate magazine, editor of International UFO Reporter, and a
    vice-president of the Center for UFO Studies.

    At a meeting in New York City on October 3, 1992, Linda said that she is willing to testify against Richard and Dan (though she had previously
    indicated that she was afraid of filing charges herself). I informed
    those at the meeting that I was prepared to make a formal request for a
    federal investigation of the attempted murder of Linda. Hopkins,
    Andrus, and Clark all vigorously objected to this, and they strongly
    urged me not to do so. They said that such action would be "politically damaging" to ufology. I was extremely puzzled by their reasoning and
    their apparent priorities. On October 5, 1992, two days later, I called
    Andrus to make certain that I understood his position. I asked him to
    join with me and request a formal investigation of these allegations by
    the proper law enforcement agencies. I explained to him that UFO
    researchers were generally not qualified to investigate attempted
    murder. I was taken aback when Andrus asked me what right I had to
    raise these issues. He again urged that the crimes not be reported.
    The following day I spoke with Clark. He told me that he accepted
    Linda's statements, and he reaffirmed his opposition to reporting the
    crimes.

    I have not been given a satisfactory explanation for their views. At
    risk is not only the safety of Linda but also that of the general
    public. If federal agents have engaged in kidnapping and attempted
    murder, they should be brought to justice. The matter is of great
    concern for the general citizenry and for the conduct of UFO abduction research. I call upon Clark, Andrus, and Hopkins to publicly explain
    their rationale and priorities.

    UFOs, the U.N. and GA 33/426
    by John F. Schuessler

    Late in 1978, prominent UFO researchers approached the United Nations
    with the suggestion to set up some type of international clearing house
    whereby investigators and researchers would be able to coordinate on an international level scientific research into unidentified flying
    objects, and to inform the Secretary-General of the observations,
    research, and evaluation of such activities. The UN General Assembly
    responded favorably by adopting Decision GA 33/426. Unfortunately,
    nothing was done to bring the decision to fruition and it lies dormant
    to this very day.

    Early in 1992 Mohammad Ahmad Ramadan, President of the United Nations Parapsychology Society, suggested it was time to reacquaint the United
    Nations with Decision GA 33/426 with the intent of forming the agency
    EUFONews 1 - 1 Page 9 01 Jan 1993


    called for in the Decision. In order to make this happen, he felt it
    necessary to have a series of presentations aimed at providing an update
    on the UFO situation. He then proceeded, with the strong support of
    MUFON's Robert Bletchman, to organize the United Nations Symposium on Extraterrestrial Intelligence and Human Future which occurred on October
    2, 1992, just ten days before NASA was to begin it's SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) program.

    The symposium was not aimed at traditional academia or the media. It
    was felt that traditional academia has proved to be insufficient in
    solving problems of this magnitude and needs help itself in having
    credibility for the future. As far as the media is concerned, it is
    saturated with UFO data and all of those concerned have already made up
    their minds - for or against. No UFO witness will make them change
    their minds, unless they see for themselves. The mission of the
    symposium, then was not to change people but to network with those who
    already are willing to listen, especially among the United Nations non-governmental organizations (NGOs) such as Amnesty International, Red
    Cross, Greenpeace, B'nai Brith, etc. The organizations are the greatest catalyst of change in modern times. For instance, they fought very hard
    to force President Bush to attend the Earth Summit in Rio. It was noted
    that the "old guards" of politics and science would be apprehensive,
    fearful we were pulling the carpet from under their feet. Therefore,
    the tone of the symposium was to present the data and leave the audience
    to decide for themselves, the way I believe it should always be done.

    Hundreds of representatives of the United Nations NGOs meet weekly to investigate problems having a worldwide scope. Many of these
    representatives did attend the symposium and responded favorably. The
    Dag Hammarskjold Auditorium was filled to capacity.

    We were fortunate in having Linda Howe available for a special noon
    program prior to the symposium, but held in the same auditorium. She
    provided a Crop Circle Mystery Update in a special hour and a half
    program.

    Symposium speakers were each given one hour to present their message.
    After a brief introduction by Mr. Ramadan, Stanton Friedman gave an
    energetic and entertaining presentation entitled "The Cosmic Watergate."

    I followed with the "Medical and Scientific Evidence." After a short
    break, the program resumed with a presentation on "The Human Evidence,"
    by Dr. Rauni Leena Kilde, MD. of Norway. Dr. Kilde revealed her own
    personal abduction experience. The final presenter was Dr. Norma
    Milanovich, speaking on the "Cosmic-Spiritual Evidence and Experience,"
    using material channeled through her computer.

    After a question and answer period by the panel of speakers, an open
    letter to the Secretary-General, from the panel of speakers, was read
    aloud to the audience. The letter was to be hand delivered to the Secretary-General on the following Monday.

    The UFO mystery is not limited to the United States. It is a worldwide problem. Therefore, it was appropriate to bring this strong message to
    the United Nations, with the expectation that the UN will proceed to
    form the UFO agency called for by Decision GA 33/426. There is hope
    that it will be done correctly this time. EUFONews 1 - 1 Page 10 01 Jan 1993

    This is the story of Preston B. Nichols, a very strange story it is. The
    degree of strangeness rates a good 9 out of 10 and, if the old adage
    "Truth is stranger than fiction" is anything to go by, then perhaps
    this is evidence that the book represents the 'truth' as may be known to
    the author. I, for one, was unable to put it down until the last page
    was read. I was too tired to begin it again, but that is the compunction
    that I felt last night.

    INTRODUCTION

    At the eastern most end of Long Island sits Montauk Point, known to most
    New Yorkers for its scenic beauty and landmark lighthouse. To the
    immediate west of the lighthouse, there is a mysterious and derelict
    Air Force base on the grounds of the old Fort Hero. Although it was
    officially decommissioned and abandoned by the USA Air Force in 1969,
    it was subsequently re-opened and continued to operate without the
    sanction of the US Government. The entire financing of the base is also
    a mystery. No funding can be traced either to the military of the
    Government. Officials of the government have probed for the answers
    without success.

    The secrecy of the operation has prompted legends to thrive across Long
    Island. However, it is unlikely that any of the local people of
    Montauk, or those who spread the tales, know the full story of what
    actually went on there.

    A circle of insiders believe the Montauk Project was a development and culmination of the phenomena encountered aboard the USS Eldridge in
    1943. Popularly known as the "Philadelphia Experiment", the ship
    actually disappeared while the Navy conducted radar invisibility
    experiments. According to these accounts, over three decades of secret research and applied technology actually ensued. Experiments were
    conducted that included electronic mind surveillance and control of
    distinct populations. The climax was reached at Montauk in 1983. It was
    at that point the Montauk Project tripped open a hole in space time to
    1943. Perhaps the person best qualified to tell the story is Preston
    Nichols, and electrical engineer and inventor who has studied the
    Montauk Project for the better part of a decade. His interest in part
    was spurred on by unusual circumstances in his own life. He was also
    able to legally acquire much of the equipment that was used for the
    project. His continued investigation ultimately revealed his own role as
    the project's technical director. Despite having been brain washed and
    threats to silence him, he has survived and has decided it is in the
    best interest of all to tell his story.

    So says the introduction. It seems that Mr Nichols has been one of the
    persons to have worked with Duncan Cameron and Al Bielek, both of whom
    have previously released some detail into the activities of certain
    groups involved with the exploration of space-time matrix and mind

    control.

    The account is very well written, lucid and not too technical for the
    layman reader. If what the book purports to have been achieved by man is
    true, then virtually nothing is impossible. eg. Instantaneous travel
    from A to B, whether B happens to be on Mars in the year 125,000 BC, or
    Earth in the year 6035; creation of monsters or beings at will;
    transference of one person's "soul" or "signature" to another
    (walk-ins?); re-juvination of body by manipulation of a person's
    time-line; The Seeing-eye, by the use of a portion of a person's hair or
    other personal effects, it is possible to see through the eyes of that
    person in real-time and experience their view. This is only the tip of
    the iceberg...Far out!, you say? Well, perhaps but read it as science
    fiction if you must, above all, read it.

    The price - ouch, here in Australia $32.00 - in America $15.95
