UFO REPORTS CONTINUE AT HIGH RATE AS SCIENCE REVEALS NEW DISCOVERIES:

NEAR SPACECRAFT SURVIVES ASTEROID LANDING --The NEAR Shoemaker Spacecraft
probe touched down on the surface of the asteroid Eros today. The mission
was controlled by John Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab. He craft
completed a five year, 2 billion mile mission for the robot craft. The
spacecraft returned remarkable close up views of the asteroid's surface as it
swooped down to its historic landing. The photos can be seen at:

MARS FINDINGS HINT AT LIFE

BBC News Online science editor Dr David Whitehouse reports Tiny magnetic
grains found in a meteorite from Mars are identical to grains produced by
some strains of bacteria on Earth. Researchers claim, If you did not know
that this rock was from Mars, and if you studied it, you would conclude that
it contains evidence for past life. Dr Kathie Thomas-Keprta, Lockheed Martin
Corporation. The new findings will reopen the debate about whether the rock
contains fossil evidence of ancient life on the Red Planet. The study,
published in the journal Geochimica Cosmochimica Acta, took four years to
complete. Those behind it include some of the original scientists that first
put forward the controversial idea that odd structures on the meteorite
called ALH84001 represented the remains of Martian microbes. Just over a
dozen Martian meteorites like ALH84001 have been found on Earth, "If you did
not know that this rock was from Mars,you would conclude that it contains
evidence for past life. Thanks to BBC News | SCI/TECH

EVOLUTIONARY DESTINY IS IN OUR GRASP, SAY SCIENTISTS

Mark Henderson, science correspondent of UK Times reports: "Mankind will have
the ability to control and alter its evolutionary destiny within 30 years
using secrets unlocked by the mapping of the human genetic code, one of the
architects of the Human Genome Project said yesterday." Rapid advances in
the understanding of human DNA will allow the development of drugs that use
personal genetic "fingerprints" to target disease, therapies to repair
defective genes and, ultimately, the manipulation of man's genetic future,
according to Francis Collins, director of the National Genome Research
Institute in the United States. By 2010, scientists will have developed
accurate tests for a dozen common genetic illnesses, and preventive
treatments to match, he predicted. By 2020, doctors will be able to alter the
genes passed on to children, leading to the first genetically engineered
human beings. By 2030, genetic medicine will mean most Britons will live to
the age of 90. However, Dr Collins cautioned against relying too much on
genetic manipulation. "The human genome will not help us to undertand the
spiritual side of humankind, or to know who God is or what love is," he said
at the Biovision world life sciences forum in Lyons. Thanks to Ambrovista

STUDY COULD UPSET LAWS OF PHYSICS

LONG ISLAND -- Robert Roy Britt SPACE.COM reports, An international team of
researchers announced Thursday findings in the subatomic world that, if
proven accurate, could upset a basic set of laws that scientists use to
describe the physical world. The potential change in thinking would force
cosmologists to reconsider the origin, and daily operation of the universe.
THE DISCOVERY involves the study tiny particles called muons. The data,
generated at Brookhaven National Laboratory, conflicts with previous
measurements that explained the behavior of the subatomic particles. A muon
is a subatomic particle, something like an electron but heavier. They are so
tiny that they aren't made of smaller particles, yet they play an outsized
role in shaping the physical world. Brad Keister, director of the nuclear
physics program at the National Science Foundation, said the finding, if it
holds up, will change how cosmologists view the evolution of the universe
back to and including the Big Bang. The work, will also put researchers on
the trail of new theories to explain missing matter in the universe, Keister
said. Scientists have only accounted for some 10 percent or less of the mass
known to exist. The rest, noted by how its gravity affects visible objects,
is sometimes called dark matter. These studies may help explain gravity.

Editor's Note: Scientists are making new discoveries on a regular basis
potentially upsetting the laws of physics. What hasn't reached the news is
that mankind's DNA appears to have undergone major manipulation in the past
suggesting that outside forces managed our genes and human development. God,
angels or aliens may have interfered with our gene pool. Fifty new planets
have been found outside our solar system. Let's assume we find small living
organisms on Mars, it would seem likely we would attempt to improve the
Martian life forms like someone apparently did with ours.

NEW YORK FAST MOVING SAUCER

POUGHQUAG, DUTCHESS COUNTY - Peter Davenport reports a witness saw an object
which appeared to be red in color from the bottom and was moving from a north
westerly direction heading southeast on January 20, 2001. The object was
moving very fast at 9:53 AM and was shaped like a saucer. The object was
moving very fast and suddenly took off with such speed it vanished from sight
within an instant. I have seen aircraft and used to be a pilot and have
never seen anything like this nor have I ever seen an object just vanish from
sight just as quickly as it appeared. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director

NEW JERSEY GREEN LIGHT

TRENTON -- Astronomer Scott Forrest told us during our monthly MUFON Meeting
that he made his first sighting of an unidentified flying object on February
1, 2001, over the capital at 4:45 PM. A green object flying at high speed
estimated at 18,000 mph flew over traveling from south to north in the late
afternoon sunset. The object was the size of a dime at arm's length. The
light was -5 and brighter than Venus in the sky. Thanks to Scott Forrest.
Monthly MUFON meetings directed by Pat Marcatillio are held at the Hamilton
Library the first Wednesday of each month at 7:30 PM, in Hamilton, New
Jersey. Everyone is invited.

NEW JERSEY DISC

CHERRY HILL --- Eric Almen writes, "I was about 10 years old and sitting in
the 'TV-room' watching the Adam's Family with my mom when my sister and
father yelled from the front yard, ''quick come out and see this. I went out
to see a saucer shaped UFO with colors around the edges. It silently hovered
and after about a minute the lights around the edges went dim and the saucer
took off in a blur again without a sound. We couldn't see where it gone but
the next day there was an article in the local news section about several
sightings around the Cherry Hill Barclay Farm area. One friend of the
families was a higher up in the Air Force and he saw it too. His comment
was, "We have nothing in our technology to maneuver or take off with that
kind of accuracy and speed all at once." I would like to find that newspaper
article. Thanks to Eric Almen

DELAWARE 1881 GHOST REPORT

DELMARVA - George Reynolds the Director of NE Maryland MUFON writes that the
Assistant State Director of Delaware Carl Feindt has been searching the
Wilmington, "Morning News". On October 6, 1881, the news 120 years ago
stated, "Peninsula people have been seeing ghosts and supernatural objects
with alarming frequency during the last three weeks." The first instances of
these heavenly sightings comes from Royal Oak, Maryland, a small village near
the Atlantic ocean. A little girl saw after nightfall, before the moon was
up, whole platoons of angels slowly marching to and fro in the clouds, their
white robes and helmets glistening with a weird light. At intervals, the
heavenly visitors would dance mournfully to the sound of unheard music. She
rushed in to her parents telling them of the heavenly sight and fell down in
fright. Her father rushed outside and was rewarded with a sight of the
unearthly spectacle. The news was passed around the community by word of
mouth and in an incredibly short space of time the inhabitants were out in
masses gazing g in open mouth astonishment, while the white-robed host,
seemingly offended at the immense amount of genuine astonishment and wonder
they were creating, slowly faded from sight leaving the people of Royal Oak
firm believers.

The phenomena seems to have been especially manifest in Sussex County,
Delaware. "William West, a farmer living near Georgetown saw almost an
identical appearance of the vision seen. He saw bands of soldiers of great
size , in dazzling uniforms, their muskets quivering and shimmering in the
pale weird light that seemed to be everywhere, marching with military
precision and presenting arms to the sound of unheard commands. The vision
was startling and lasted long enough to be seen by several of his neighbors.
A man named Coverdale, who was driving through the country on a lonely road,
to his astonishment saw the same band of soldiers. Many people living near
Laurel, saw the same extraordinary phenomenon at the same time. They felt
they saw in the midst of the soldiers, conspicuous by reason of his size and
commanding presence, the hero and martyred President Garfield. These strange
and supernatural appearances were seen by many people, among them the
superstitious who have circulate the belief that the world will speedily come
to an end. Thanks to George Reynolds MUFON Newsletter NE Maryland.

VIRGINIA UFO

LYNCHBURG -- Andy & Robin Hodge report there was a UFO sighting video taped
by a resident in Lynchburg, Virginia on the last day of January. It was
reported on the news by the weatherman. He said he was not sure what the
object was and that he was not an expert in the field. I saw the video and
would have guessed it to be a meteor, but this fellow said that it wasn't,
implying that it was unidentifiable. Thanks to Andy & Robin Hodge

ILLINOIS ORBS RETURN

ROCKFORD -- Todd Livengood reports that on February 10, 2001, "I just had
the most remarkable event happen to me at exactly 10:30 PM on Saturday. I
finally saw the strange glowing orange orbs over Rockford, Illinois. It was
witnessed by my brother Rick, his girlfriend Carrie, myself and five other
witnesses on Alpine. There were nine orbs with the same intensity and
producing a glowing orange light. Then at random individual ones would flash
off then turn back on. At one point all off them flashed off except for
three. That formed a triangle. Then the light intensity shot up very
brightly then dimmed back to normal then the other orbs flashed back on .
They swirled around one another moving slowly. I estimate the sighting lasted
15 minutes. It was very remarkable. The multiple sightings here don't seem
to be so random. I have dates and times and most of all where they seem to
always be spotted. It always seems to be around the Mulford, State St. and
Alpine St. area of Rockford. And it always seems to be any where around the
time of 8:00 to 10:00 PM. My brother and I are investing in some Telescopic
night time photography equipment. Were going to try to get a close up photo
of these orbs. The sighing we saw last night was very close. My brother and
I are x-military. We have done night time combat maneuvers. We have seen
ball lightning and just about anything else most people would think as very
extraordinary. Now my brother Rick has seen combat in Panama and the middle
east and he has witnessed a lot of new technology in warfare, and he was the
first to say (Todd, I have never seen anything like this before in my life).
And we are now more open to talk about it with the locals, because as we were
watching the event we were pulled over along the side of the street and I
would glance over to see lines of cars. There had to be at least 10 or more
cars pulled over as we were. Thanks to Todd Livengood.

CALIFORNIA SAUCER

PORTERVILLE -- I watched a UFO cruise by my house at low altitude,
noiselessly with Ferris wheel lights and a strange saucer shape. It was
between 8:45-9:00 PM on January 25, 2001. It was a cloudy night with rain
falling sporadically, I was letting my cat out when I noticed a Saucer shaped
vehicle moving very slowly with no noise whatsoever. It was about 200 feet
altitude and it was close enough that I could tell it to be about the size of
an 18-wheeler truck. At arm's length the craft would be the size of your
thumb from nail to knuckle. My best guess is that it was about 300 yards out.
I was looking west from my porch, and the vehicle was traveling south at
five miles per hour, coming to full stops occasionally for 1 or 2 seconds
then continuing on till it disappeared from my sight. It had spinning lights
red, blue, white and green and looked like a circus Ferris wheel. The
sighting took place within a 2-3 minute period. I realized that I was
standing in my front yard with nothing but my underwear and I returned to my
home . Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC www.ufocenter.com

CALIFORNIA UFO HOVERING OVER LOS ANGELES FREEWAY

ENCINO -The witness was driving home from Encino on the Ventura Freeway 101
on January 21, 2001, and saw a helicopter with a spot light on. He thought
this could mean there is a police chase going on in the nearby vicinity. The
witness stated, "I kept my eye on the craft as I drove and I began to notice
that the spot wasn't actually on but the helicopter was hovering very slowly
and smoothly around 7:30 PM. I then noticed that what I had mistaken for a
spotlight was simply one very large white light and the craft had NO BLADES."
The altitude of the craft was twice that of what a normal helicopter would
be navigating at, yet the craft was large enough to where my perspective of
it's altitude was skewed due to it's size. Alarmed, I began driving directly
underneath the craft and looked up to see that it APPEARED to be triangular
and had a series of ODDLY-COLORED lights flashing on it's underside. I am a
skeptic now as I was prior to last night's events. Nonetheless, I'm entirely
certain there were/are others who saw what I did since the freeway was fairly
busy. Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC www.ufocenter.com

UNITED KINGDOM FLYING TRIANGLE SIGHTING

LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND -- Bill Bimson reports from the Merseyside Anomalies
Research Association (MARA) that on the 8th of February 2001, the witness
observed an incredible sighting of unidentified craft. I live in Aigburth
(Liverpool) in back of St Michaels and my flat faces towards Sefton Park
where I had a clear daylight sighting nearly 3 years ago. Recently, at the
time of the moon eclipse I saw small bright flashing lights which seemed to
be hovering or moving swiftly in circular flight paths towards the park.
Tonight was much more astounding. I saw a green flash of light outside my
window around 7.45 PM so I went to look. It was another full moon evening,
and the sky was quite light. Underneath the moon, I noticed a large
extremely straight vapor trail, that looked most unlike the trails planes
leave, being much wider and thicker. I then noticed there were lights
hovering over the park again. I called my mother, and she said she could see
the vapor trail, but nothing else. I went back to the window, and I saw many
white lights and one red gathered together.

As it moved towards my house I realized it was a huge triangular shaped
craft: The white lights ran along each side and there was a red line of light
down the center, the apex at the front as it moved right over my house, where
I lost vision of it. Four minutes later another huge triangular shape came
over the roof top and flew towards the park, but this one had many different
colored lights (orange, green, red, white as I recall) which alternated.
This moved rapidly towards the lake-end of the park behind the trees where it
hovered and then moved out of sight. The smaller lights and another larger
cluster of lights were still moving around distantly in the same area over
the park for 10 to 15 minutes. My mother was told her friends son also saw a
very large craft flying towards the park last night. Despite the enormous
size/closeness of the two craft that went directly over my house , there was
no engine noise. A jumbo jet of that size would be so close as to shake the
house and be quite deafening! Any further reports of this sighting to be
sent to Bill Bimson [email protected] MARA www.mara.org.uk

MANCHESTER - Steve Mara reports that a UFO was spotted on February 11, 2001,
by numerous witnesses who claim the bits of its tail was falling off. Most
UFO researchers refer to this as 'splintering.' Some witnesses stated it
shot off at a high speed, others say it winked out. The Manchester
International Airport said they had picked up nothing unusual, but were aware
of the sighting and contributed it to meteor activity. However, the
Manchester Astronomical Society were aware of no meteor activity at all. The
BBC later reported that the Jodrell Bank observatory confirmed it to be a
meteor, which explained the initial portion of the sighting, but possibly not
the later reports which stated the object shot off at a high rate of speed.

GLOUCESTER -- Cosmic Conspiracies received a report of a strange green
object flew over on February 8, 2001. The witness stated, "My extremely
sensible son was watching a police helicopter around 7:15 PM when a "large
green ball" suddenly flew low across the sky and directly underneath the
helicopter that was hovering above Painswick Road roundabout." It was
heading roughly toward Cheltenham then it vanished. From the direction it
seemed to have appeared from a flock of Pigeons were flying; he wondered if
it had disturbed their roost as they do not fly in the dark? I would guess
the direction to have been South West to North East. Thanks to Dave at

NATIONAL NEWS WON'T COVER CHEMTRAILS

Tim Cooper writes, "I have identified all the major national news and
information media in the U.S. that have not, and will not, cover the
chemtrail mystery, investigate the JFK assassination conspiracy, and the
Clinton-Mena connection to drug operations in Arkansas. Most, if not all,
are influenced and have been controlled by the Pentagon, US Intelligence,
since 1963. I have provided the list, and who ever wants to find out who
owns them, they'll have to do their own homework. You will note that most
are in New York, the political power base of the United States and are
dominated by just four media empires. Anyone associated with intelligence
can verify what I said. There is no such thing as freedom of the press in
this country. All major news stories are dictated in New York and from the
White House..Please see
http://home.sprintmail.com/~rigoletto/reports/media_censorship.htm

Editors Note: My experience is that neither the intelligence agencies nor the
news media are that well organized to be able to control all outlets. If you
can provide convincing evidence the story will get out.

PRESIDENT CARTER TELLS SHIRLEY MACLAINE ABOUT UFOs

Donald Ratsch writes, according to a Larry King Show, Shirley Maclaine
revealed that former President Carter told her about UFO crashes and alien
bodies. The transcript of this exchange started with a caller from Cocoa,
Florida. Larry King says, "Cocoa Florida with Shirley Maclaine, hello.
Caller responds, "Hello, Good evening Larry and Shirley, About two weeks ago,
Nicholas Cage was on the Letterman Show and said Shirley had told him that
President Carter had told her he had seen recovered alien spacecraft and
aliens in a hanger. Can you tell me exactly what President Carter said?"
Shirley Maclaine replied, "He didn't tell me that, but he told me many times
that when I first wrote "Out On A Limb" that he would support me, that it was
true, that there were crafts, that he believed there were occupants, why
should we be the only people in the universe. He wanted to shine the
sunshine laws on intelligence, to expose it, to see how the people would
react, but he didn't and wouldn't and couldn't as he explained to me." King:
back with our remaining moments with Shirley Maclaine right after this.

NEW NASA SHUTTLE VIDEO OF UFOs IN SPACE

Jeff Challender has prepared a new tape of various UFOs that were caught on
recent Shuttle video footage. Jeff has over an hour long tape of UFOs shot
in space. Jeff spends hundreds of hours watching the shuttle broadcasts from
space and is now an expert on NASA missions and even those onboard the
shuttle are unlikely to see what Jeff does. Using Jeff's directions you will
be able to learn the difference between space junk, ice crystals and real
UFOs. One segment has 24 UFOs watching the shuttle from space. I feel
confident we could go into a court of law and convince any jury that there
are UFOs moving at high speed around the Earth. Send $25 to: Jeff Challender
