CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE NORTH SHORE KIND

Nine Encounters in the Past Year Prompt UFO Researchers to
Look for Alien Hot Spots

Local UFO researchers will attempt to make contact with
alien life forms later this year on the North Shore
Mountains.

Said Lorne Goldfader, director of the UFO Research Institute
of Canada (UFORIC), "We intend to go to UFO hot spots with
very powerful halogen lights, strobe lights and sound
frequencies, and we're going to try to attract, vector in,
these spacecraft or objects or whatever they are.

"We're going to make several attempts, not only us but
several hundred working groups across the world.

"We're going to make attempts, and one of us will get
something. NASA is spending millions of dollars with dishes
to get signals from space. This is really not that much
different from what NASA is doing but it's Earth-based, "
Goldfader said.

Of 56 UFO sighting reports compiled by UFORIC last year,
nine were based in North and West Vancouver.

Two of the nine North Shore incidents involved "close
encounters."

According to Goldfader, some time between 2:30 a.m. and 3
a.m., on August 29, 1992, a police officer living with his
family in a Blueridge-area neighborhood of North Vancouver
walked to a window and saw what appeared to be a shooting
star.

He went into the bathroom of the house. Through an open
window he saw reflected in the bathroom mirror three red and
white pulsating cylindrical lights.

An alarm sensor located in the patio of the house was
activated. A light illuminating the lane nearby went out.

He heard one of his dogs outside whining.

The man attempted to wake his wife.

Said Goldfader, "He tried to wake up his wife in a panic.
It took all his effort, and she only woke up for a brief
moment falling back into sleep like a rag doll."

Meanwhile, Goldfader added, "The child (nine months old) was
giggling in the other room, another unusual event."

The man subsequently discovered a scorched area of grass by
the lane near his home. The dog that had been whining
outside during the incident lost "massive amounts of fur and
lost much weight, suggesting radiation exposure."

About a month earlier, on July 19, 1992, a West Vancouver
mother and son experienced a close encounter of a different
kind.

Goldfader said he talked to the 16-year-old West Vancouver
male after the youth had contacted the police.

"He and his mother saw an object in the sky, but that's all
the mother remembers."

Both mother and child observed a conical object, fluorescent
and opaque. The object zig-zagged at a distance from their
house.

"But the young fellow remembers these biological entities
though the closed door in his bedroom, lift him off the bed
and he freaked out - he resisted. Then he ran into his
parent's room, but there was about 15 minutes to half an
hour of missing time," Goldfader said.

A second incident at the home involved a circular ball of
light entering through a window.

A third incident involved a physical reaction.

"It's a phenomenon that I'm beginning to recognize. He's
(the teen) beginning to feel these electrical voltages under
the skin in areas where the surface of the skin feels numb.

"I have other people where the same thing has happened to
them. I've identified four people so far who have this
anomaly," Goldfader said.

The UFO researcher believes the hydro power lines near the
home are somehow connected to the bizarre incident.

I've developed a theory from the data that I've read - the
electro-magnetic radiation is coming from these power grids
and is harmful to skin cells.

"These visitors, whoever they are, are concerned and doing
some kind of genetic testing of the people in these areas."

Added Goldfader, "Based on magnetic maps, over a period of
time I've begun to recognize magnetic anomalies where these
UFO sightings are taking place.

"It's speculation, but I feel there is a possibility that a
magnetic anomaly point could be an entry point for these
objects to come through. It could be a disturbance caused
by UFO activity."

Goldfader's group is affiliated with the Texas-based Centre
for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI).

He said the two organizations are committed to acting upon
UFO data compiled.

"There are several different kinds of UFO groups. They
range from the bizarre religious people who are trying to
put their point of view across, to ex-CIA people. We're not
fence-sitters," he said.

"If there is even a 1% chance that I'm successful or
somebody else is successful (in the bid for contact) it will
change the course of history, so it's worth it."
