• COMPUSERVE CONFERENCE TRANSCRIPTS FILE: UFO2141

    From Robert Gmez@RICKSBBS to All on Sat Apr 25 06:33:14 2026
    (Ted) Did everyone read the press release that Speiser
    uploaded. GA

    (DON) Hi ya all, I got a letter from Jim on our board
    here stating that the networks should be releasing
    the info on the Gulf Breezes sometime sat or
    today. no word yet.

    (Ted) Yes. I called th Gulf Breezes Sentinel on Friday,
    but they refused to give out any info at this
    time. They are however, sending me a copy of all
    articles they have published to date on the
    subject.

    (DRAX) Greetings, Earthlings

    (DON) Hi guy.

    (Ted) Well speak of the !$#@@**. Hi Jim.

    (DRAX) Hi Ted. Sorry, what were you talking about?

    (Ted) Gulf Breezes and the news releasee you uploaded
    earlier. Do you have any further info on the
    subject.

    (DRAX) Yup. <evil snicker>

    (Ted) Don't keep us waiting. DUmp it SPeiser!

    (DRAX) Haha....

    (DRAX) From what I've been able to put together a press
    conference took place on Friday, attended by,
    among others, Walt Andrus, Donald Ware (FL MUFON
    Dir.) and a couple of investigators. I understand
    the main percipient was NOT there, still wants to
    remain semi-anonymous.

    According to Bruce Maccabee, a special camera was
    sent by MUFON, registered and sealed, to be used
    by the fellow. on his next photographic outing. He
    did so, and, as Bruce says, "There's something
    there....". The camera, according to Walt, was a
    special 3-D model (anyone know anything like
    that?). He has also passed a lie detector test.
    That's about all I know now.

    (Gerry) I know what 3-d cameras are, if that's what you're
    asking.

    (DRAX) Can such things be disguised as regular 35mm?

    (Gerry) I'd think it unlikely, as they have two lenses.












    (Ted) I have a 3-D camera but it is a slide type taking
    two slides at once. I believe Dale is next.

    (Dale) Pass.

    (Ted) We are using formal CO rules tonight. If you have
    a question or comment type a "?" or "!" I get to
    you in order. Ok DBC your up GA

    (DBC) Ok. Jim, what about this "amazing" vidio that was
    viewed by Andrus and Hopkins?

    (DRAX) All I know is, its reportedly "amazing." I haven't
    seen it so I can't tell you much.

    (Ted) ok Don Youre up.

    (DON) Jim, I've kept my eye on the tube all weekend!
    where is the news reprot?

    (Ted) Jim repy?

    (DRAX) Good kveschin. I think all you need do is refer to
    my recent exchange in JFORUM to see that we in
    ufology may have cried wolf once too often, and
    now that perhaps we have a real wolf in the fold,
    Big Media is putting us on permanent ignore.

    (Ted) The sky is falling ! GA

    (Ted) JIM, you got more out of Walt A. than I did. When
    I talked to him earlier this week he told me they
    had a special camera but wouldn't tell me what
    kind. If it is the same 3-D type camera that I
    have then I doubt they will ge much. You have to
    be real close to get much of a three D effect.

    (DRAX) Ok, I don't know for sure what type of camera it
    is, Walt told me 3-D and also told me not to spill
    the beans on that, but Bruce told me that he had
    taken a picture with it, so I figured it was time.
    Walt may not have described the camer properly,
    however. GA

    (Gerry) Even though you don't have much 3d effect you
    still may get important differences in
    registration of images which can turn up under
    analysis.

    (Ted) Yes, thats true. It would give the ability to
    measure the distance to the object within limits.

    (DRAX) A few points should be made. Its important that
    the guy made the effort to use the camera. it was












    registered. That indicates, at least, that he
    doesn't fear "exposure" as a hoax. Its also the
    first time a UFO percipient has ever used a
    registered camera provided by investigators. Bruce
    Maccabee is ufology's leading photo-analyst, and
    while he has not passed final judgement on the
    photos, he remains cautiously (oh so cautiously)
    enthusiastic. "There's something there" from Bruce
    is QUITE a bit of enthusiasm, I assure you.

    (DON) Ok, Jim, two questions. First, was the half hour
    documentry aired by the local Fla. station, and
    next, the witness are you inferring that the
    object kept returning to the same area to be
    photographed? (and what about Budd?)

    (DRAX) As far as I know, the show was aired, and John
    Lear has arranged for a tape to be FedExed to him.
    I should hear from him Monday. I don't know if the
    object returned to the same location each time,
    but this has been an ongoing series of sightings,
    yes. And what about Budd? He's also enthusiastic.

    (DON) I refer to Budds area of expertise-abductions-any
    word? ga

    (Ted) I understand that Budd is VERY enthusiastic about
    the case and feels that the abduction is a
    certainty. The abductee at last word was
    unwilling to be hypnmotized at this time a little
    fearful of the hypnosis, I understand. Jim did you
    want to add more.

    (DRAX) Beyond that he suspects a series of abductions,
    no. Yes, I think we should just say that NOTHING,
    of course, is a true certainty at this time, and
    that enthusiasm <> endorsement. But it certainly
    is looking very good so far to my knowledge,
    nothing has yet turned up to throw a bad light on
    the case.

    (DBC) Jim, do I understand correctly that members of the
    media in gulf breezes have seen the craft?

    (DRAX) I don't think I've heard that. That is certainly
    true in Texarkana, but not to my limited knowledge
    in Gulf Breeze.

    (DBC) I find it interesting that there have been so many
    examples of media people who have actually
    witnessed these things certainlly the case in the
    Hudson valley as well as Arkansas. What bothers me
    is why doesn' Big Media seem to have any faith in
    Small Media?












    (Ted) I think you can get the answer from the thread
    going on under the subject "JFORM and UFOs".) They
    are just plain not interested in anything that
    does not have "researchable" material that can
    hold up in the public scrutiny of fellows like
    Phil Klass.

    (DRAX) It looks like we're going to have to wait for Sam
    Donaldson to be abudcted and do a live feed from
    aboard a beamship before the subject gets the
    attention it deserves speaking of Klass, I had
    dinner with him the other night. GA

    (Ted) Ok jim, what did he have to say and did you need
    any bicarb afterwards. GA

    (Dale) Traitor

    (DON) THE BIG BUG-A-BOO, HUH??

    (DRAX) "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer"
    --Don Corleone ... I always need bicarb after
    eating in my restaurant. He knew nothing of
    Texarkana, and very little of FL. after I
    described a little of what I knew of the latter,
    his reaction was basically, "Well, if you believe
    in the govt. cover-up theory, you would think the
    Air Force would be down there confiscating photos
    and hushing up witnesses. The fact that they
    aren't must prove to you that they think its a
    hoax." He had some other things to say, most of
    which left such a bad taste in my mouth I'd rather
    not repeat them. GA

    (Ted) Jim, do you think that Klass really believes all
    the theories ne puts out. (I was going to say CRAP
    but thought better of it.) ga

    (DON) manure also fits

    (DRAX) Yes, I do. I don't believe he is in the employ of
    the govt because I'd like to think the govt. would
    spend my tax dollars on a better debunker.

    (Ted) Ok, I think we have been ignoring DON and for
    that I beg forgiveness. Ok DON you're up.

    (DBC) Ted, Neil. is here.

    (DON) Thank you. Ok, I think that DBC made an execellt
    point about the large medias. I find it hard to
    believe that potentially the largest story of this
    centuray could be ignored in this manner so I













    think that there could be another reason for them
    to ignore this story. Anyone else think so? ga

    (Ted) Neil it appears you have generated a lot of
    interest here tonight. Bring us up to date on the
    Lake Erie triangle.

    (Neil) Ted, the Erie Triangle is not what it is called.
    The Lake ontario triangle is where the Triangle
    is, but many sightings do occur on Lake Erie. This
    will take a minute of everyone's timw, but to
    answer John.'s ?, if you go to the public library,
    the U.S. Geological Survey Team has a U.s. Gov't
    photo(infrared) that shows the structure under
    Lake Ontario. As far as the magazine name, I
    discussed this with my team & they said no way at
    giving the name out over the air, but if I were to
    meet you in person or talk on the phone, that's a
    different case.

    (Ted) Neil, I tried to call you on the Phone this week.
    The operator said that either you didn't exist or
    that you had an unlisted number. I figure the MIB
    had gotten to you! I tried to get your number
    through information in Rochester. If you number
    is unlisted please send it to me via EMAIL.

    (Neil) Sounds great!!! Yes, it is unlisted...I have to or
    owe you a reply, but you will get my # before I
    exit the forum tonight!

    (Joe) Thanks, just a fast comment on Big Media. Check
    out the March 5 TV Guide, under Jeers on Page 23,
    its a criticism of Network News for SOFT stories
    (like UFOs).

    (DBC) Neil, you were trying to give us some clues on the
    name of the mag but about all I could come up with
    was Rand McNally with emphasis on the RAND. Is
    this close? also could you tell us what section of
    the lake this "ufo base" is suppose (DBC) to be
    located.?....and finally since you say you have
    seen the craft over 300 times, do you have a
    secret for how to locate them or a sense of when
    and where to look?

    (Neil) I wonder!!!

    (Ted) ga NEIL

    (Ted) Neil GA















    (Neil) The approximate location is between NiagAra-on-
    the-Lake & Toronto,Ca & it is about 15
    mile(approx.) from the N-o-t-L Shoreline......GA

    (DRAX) I hafta git going, but wanted to drop in a couple
    of bulletins first, we're working on getting an
    online press conference for the Convention Center
    on the Gulf thing will try to get Bruce Maccabee I
    guess thats about it...take it easy, yall, its
    bowling time!

    (Ted) Does this mean you're coming back!!!<looking
    hopeful!> GA

    (DRAX) Some day, son, some day not right away tho. GA

    (Neil) Drax, I wasn't on earlier...whats the 'GULF
    THING???GA

    (DRAX) 'splain it to him, guys...I gotta dash. Bye!

    (Ted) Neil read the DL10 Database in a recent addition.
    (Last two days) for further info. ga

    (Neil) Thanks, Ted!!!!GA

    (Randy) Anybody know what happened in Texarkana....I was
    about to go down there??

    (Ted) There has been a recent UFO series of sightings
    there. Much like those of the Hudson valley
    variety. GA

    (Randy) Apparently about 500 people have reported seeing a
    vehicle like the Hudson Valley craft??

    (Ted) Neil. john abrams had a question on the board
    about the gov't document. Perhaps john would
    like to bring it up here? GA

    (John) neil, what is the name of the magazine? tell me
    more about the photo?ga

    (Neil) John, please understand this I cannot reveal the
    name over the air waves, but in person or on
    telephone....GA

    (Ted) Neil, we would also like to know more about the
    gov't photo that you have...

    (Neil) it specifically shows a long...

    (John) neil will you c i will send you my phone no. over
    easyplex call me collect












    (Neil) Sounds fine with me but near the end of this CO
    session. OK

    (Ted) the govt photo did it have a number on it. GA

    (Neil) NO, we found it was not necessary for being
    published.GA

    (Randy) Neil....Did your photo have any government
    identification numbers on it, or the specific name
    of any government agency???

    (Neil) The U.S. Geological Survey Team is the one that
    has access to 3 diffent sattelites!!!...GA

    (Randy) Did the photo have the terms "LANDSAT", SEASAT",
    or any similar nomenclature stamped on the back or
    front???

    (Neil) The original photo from U.S.Geo had something
    similar to SEASAT...GA

    (Randy) Does the photo have any U.S. Geologi?

    (DBC) you were about to describe what's in the photo
    please continue.ga

    (Neil) The photo shows a structure under water that comes
    out the Western part of toronto and purtrudes
    approx. 15 miles out. Our team check out
    everything possible even Toronto Water Works &
    they know of no such structure!!!GA

    (Ted) Has you're team sent out any underwater divers? I
    know a little about the waters there enough to
    know that if you're seeing a structure under water
    then it can't be too deep. The waters there are
    just not that clear.

    (Neil) Our team can not find anyone with the guts to go
    out there at night when the most activity takes
    place...There have been many planes and) small
    watercraft that have disappeared over the
    years...Any Volunteers?

    (Ted) Neil, I would think that the time to go out would
    be during the day when it is easier to see what is
    under the water. From what I remember of the
    waters in that area the structure couldn't be more
    that 50 feet or less and still be able to see it
    under the best of condtions.

    (Neil) That is one thing our team can't say;is how deep
    the structure is in the water I do know it is












    quite deep. Cousteau's son had his air line cut'
    by something' & he died in those waters. What cut
    the air line who knows. This happened not too many
    years back.

    (Randy) Yes, first a comment and then 2 questions for
    Neil. The comment is that satellite imagery does
    not necessarily illustrate depth or visibility
    conditions in water...the questions for Neil are
    1). Do you have the U.S.Geological Survey Photo
    Numbers for the prints in your possession??...and
    2) Are the prints primarily in red/brown tones, or
    in green/blue tones, or do they appear to be
    "regular" color photographs???

    (Neil) The closest is 'red/brown' tones...I have a photo
    in my posession that is cropped for detail and
    unfrtunately the public labrary has the U.S.Geo
    photos under refernce...It frustrates me when
    these obstacles are always in the way!!!GA

    (Gerry) IR may not scatter at the same rate in the murk as
    does visible light. Anybody know? Also the
    small-scale detail may be lost before the large-
    scale structure.

    (Ted) IR doesn't scatter as much but does get absorbed
    faster. GA

    (Gerry) Ok. Just thought I'd bring it up. ga

    (Ted) Good question. GA

    (Neil) Ted, please be more discriptive...

    (Gerry) But even if absorbed, isn't it re-transmitted,
    rather sort of diffused? ga

    (Ted) I'm not sure what you mean by re-transmitted. GA

    (Gerry) Only thinking that the general temperature of the
    water above the object may be changed by its IR
    radiation. If it were, it would show up in IR
    photos.

    (Ted) If the water is warm it will give off IR radiation
    do we know that the photos were of IR nature? GA

    (Randy) YES....!!!

    (Ted) Then I guess the resolution all depends on how
    deep and how "hot" the object is also how much
    energy absorbing material there is. oK Randy
    anything more. GA












    (Randy) Yes...I have to ask Neil if the images were
    digitized, that is, consisting of small squares,
    or true linear IR photographs, I.E., no small
    squares??

    (Neil) True Linear IR photos!!!...Ted, I am serious when
    I mentioned about any takers with a good size
    watercraft that will go out on the lake around
    dusk...GA

    (Ted) Anyone out there with a craft willing to go out in
    these waters? If not....

    (DBC) Not me thankyou!!!!!

    (Ted) Neil why don't you post a message on the message
    board.

    (Joe) IR would only show heat differential, what is at
    the land end of the structure and is the
    structrure hot or cold?? .. ga

    (Neil) Good idea, Ted!!!

    (Randy) Right!!!

    (Neil) Light differiental is also involved with IR
    photos!GA

    (DBC) Neil, from what position have you been observing
    the entries/exits into the underwater base) and
    have you estimated how often the entries/exits
    occur?

    (Neil) It used to be almost every Wed. and Sunday
    nights...somestimes a person will sit there for 4
    hours and in the last 15 minutes of that 4 hours,
    everything happens or it could be weeks...Ted, I
    would like to make a statement on the photos...GA

    (John) sit where

    (Ted) Ok NEIL GA

    (Neil) first, John., Niagara-on-the-lake, Canada) looking
    toward Toronto,Canada...Ted, The IR photos from
    the sattelite match our land triaglation perfectly
    of where the base is!GA

    (John) neil, you sit and watch these craft entering and
    leaving the structure from 15 miles away?

    (Neil) Approximately...I would rather say 12 miles away
    to give an exact figure, John!!!GA












    (John) how can you tell exactly what you are observing
    from that distance? how large are the craft?

    (Neil) Answer to first ?: through binoculars,camera but
    actual shape(s) are Lights with shape & there are
    many variation...Our team is not totally positive
    if there is anything else besides the lights we
    see at dusk & nighttime. There is one daylight
    picture that is totally different from the craft
    we see at night...as far as sizes, from 50 feet
    wide & up. GA

    (Randy) Thanks Ted....I have to check out in a few
    minutes, but just wanted to mention that I will
    check the current generation sat data on this area
    during the week, and let everybody know next week
    if any of the digital stuff shown anything like
    Neil describes in the area of Niagra-on-the-Lake.
    It sounds like he has come upon an older linear IR
    camera image of the area...some of these types of
    images have problems...I wish I had the U.S Geo
    area numbers and would appreciate Neil providing
    those?>??

    (Neil) Randy 1977

    (Randy) Does Neil have coordinates or U.S. Geo numbers???

    (Neil) The U.S. Geo might refer you to the public
    library...how does it go...roand & round the
    uokjukmkl if you know what I mean!!!GA

    (Ted) How about ther numbers Neil? GA

    (Randy) I don't have that problem, Neil!!

    (Neil) Public Library should provide recent #'S. I'm glad
    someone does not have that problem...GA

    (Ted) Am I lost or are we talking in riddles? GA

    (Neil) We are in the conference room...heh,heh!!GA

    (Gerry) First, a question to Neil: What motions do you
    observe? Vertical into and away from the horizon
    or something else? Second, I used to work at UC
    Berkeley Space Sciences Lab where ...Second is not
    for you neil, first is. Second is, SSL had a large
    remote sensing project, which could possibly have
    relevant photos. Also know some people on the SETI
    project at Ames who might be friendly enough to
    look up whatever info on these photos might exist
    there. Any feeling about whether it would be













    worthwhile renewing old contacts over this?ga
    anybody

    (Neil) YES!!!

    (DBC) definitely gerry.

    (Gerry) Ok, I will do so.ga

    (Neil) Leave me E-Mail on results,if possible. There are
    many variations to flight of these craft...e.g.-
    leaf falling effect swirling,from direction to
    direction you name it...especially with using
    color infrared slide film...it does wonders!!!GA

    (Joe) Two quickies, first, I do not understand the
    magazine part of the discussion. second, are the
    photos being published?

    (Neil) Which photos:the IR phoros about the structure of
    ufos..GA

    (Joe) your photos

    (Neil) YES. Some have been previously published in local
    area newspapers, but a book will be released in
    the early 1990's. GA

    (John) neil, i think that joe was asking aboout the
    magazine that you mentioned last week will you at
    least tell me if it is a nationwide publication or
    is it some regional or local type of publication i
    still do not understand why you withold its name
    from us, publicly.

    (DBC) More clues Neil.ga

    (Neil) Weren't you the one earlier that mentioned the
    name of a publication??? Keep it to yourself!GA

    (DBC) yes.ga

    (Neil) Yes!!!...

    (Ted) Which edition? GA

    (Neil) A different way of saying it!!! 1977

    (Ted) Which page. GA

    (Neil) All the Great Lakes!!!

    (Ted) I guess that lets the cat out of the bag! GA













    (Neil) In a different perspective, I might say!!!GA

    (Ted) DO all editions subsequent to 1977 have it or just
    that year? GA

    (Neil) Just that year at excellent quality!!!

    (Ted) You heard it first here Folks! GA

    (John) now i want neil to again describe exactly what to
    look for in the magazine photo.ga

    (Neil) A long structure under the lake coming from
    Torontos east end, under the lake! You can't miss
    it!!!GA

    (John) ok i'll check

    (Neil) TED! Could you please leave me mail with your home
    #.GA

    (Ted) Sure Be gald to. I will be gone tommorrow but
    will be at work on Tuesday. The Wed I will be in
    Ann ARbor but back Thurs. I will leave number in
    EMAIL. GA

    (Neil) When do you feel you will get off of here,
    tonight???GA

    (Ted) Shortly. GA

    (Ted) Like 10 Min. GA

    (Neil) If possible, Toight.GA

    (Ted) It's busy now. GA

    (DBC) I was going to ask Neil about his abduction
    studies, but perhaps its getting too late to get
    into that.ga

    (Neil) Well, The abduction case correlate with Lake
    Ontario & Erie, but it is a little late this
    evening to start, I feel!!!GA

    (DBC) how about next week?ga

    (Ted) Good Idea! GA

    (Neil) As a part of the conference, sure












    (Ted) Can you make it next week Neil GA

    (Neil) I like to give other people a chance to talk,
    also! Next Week, it is!!!GA
