Strange Sounds In The Sky All Around The World What are these weird and eerie sounds that people have been recording, worldwide? Are they created by nature or by some other source that is, as of yet, unkown to us? For now, the answer eludes us...but the quest for the truth continues... For more information on these mysterious sounds, click here. |

A new website has been added to the list of those I have collected. POLICE UFO.COM mainly focuses on UFO reports made by police officers, and is based in Australia. But it does accept UFO sighting reports made by officers from other countries. |

As Remembrance Day (November 11) comes around once again, I am compelled to remind the readers that there are also two special anniversaries that I celebrate every 10th and 11th of November. Thirty-six years ago, on November 10th, 1975, a logger by the name of Travis Walton was returned after being gone for five days, following his abduction by a UFO near Heber, Arizona on November 5th. A 1993 movie entitled "Fire in the Sky" is based on his personal experience. Then, the next day, on November 11th, 1975, four unidentified targets were picked up on radar by military personnel at the Canadian Forces Station Falconbridge and witnessed by several observers, including OPP, Regional Police officers and members of the staff at the Pioneer Manor nursing home. A family in a car were followed down the highway by one of these objects. Authorities offered two explanations for the sightings. Soon after the incident, they said that both Venus and Jupiter were the cause of the sightings. Then, in 1979, they changed their conclusion and said that ice crystals in the clouds somehow reflected sunlight and created images in the sky. But when viewed in the light of the official reports and the testimony of the witnesses, the explanations simply don't stand up...even 36 years later. |

In memory of those who have passed before us... Budd Hopkins dies Peacefully in New York at age 80
Budd Hopkins was a central figure in abduction phenomenon and related UFO research. He was also a painter, sculptor and raconteur of note. Born in 1931 and raised in Wheeling, West Virginia. He graduated from Oberlin College in 1953, that same year moving to New York City, where he lived until his death. In 1964, Hopkins and two others saw a UFO in daylight for several minutes. Fascinated, he joined the now-defunct UFO research group NICAP and began reading many UFO books and articles. In 1975, Hopkins and Ted Bloecher studied a multiple-witness UFO report, the North Hudson Park UFO sightings which occurred in New Jersey. In 1976, the Village Voice printed Hopkins' account of the investigation. Hopkins began receiving regular letters from other UFO witnesses, including a few cases of what would later be called "missing time" — inexplicable gaps in one's memory, associated with UFO encounters. With Bloecher and psychologist Aphrodite Clamar, Hopkins began investigating the missing time experiences, and eventually came to conclude that the missing time cases were due to alien abduction. By the late 1980s, Hopkins was one of the most prominent people in ufology, earning a level of mainstream attention that was nearly unprecedented for the field. Hopkins wrote several popular books about abductees, notably Missing Time, and was the founder of the Intruders Foundation, a non-profit organization created to document and research alien abductions, and to provide support to abductees. For roughly the first seven years of his investigation of the abduction phenomenon, Hopkins himself conducted no hypnosis sessions. Rather, he secured the aid of licensed professionals. He noted that three of these therapists (Drs. Robert Naiman, Aphrodite Clamar and Girard Franklin) were quite skeptical of the reality of abduction claims, yet all "uncovered" detailed abduction scenarios from their patients. The 1992 made-for-television film Intruders was based on Hopkins' research, and portrayed abduction scenes. Additionally, Hopkin's 1996 book, Witnessed, portrays a classic abduction case that was alleged to have occurred in late 1989 near the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City. This case is unique in that it is one of the first publicized episodes that involved multiple abductees (who did not previously know each other) that come to know each other in the "real" world through a variety of circumstances connected to their abductions. Additionally, this case involved inter-generational abductions within the same family. He will be greatly missed by one and all who knew about him and his work. We wish to extend our condolences to his family.
Very sad news - British ufologist Stuart Miller, who published UFO Review for years, and later the short-lived Alien Worlds Magazine, was killed in a motorcycle accident this past May. News has just now filtered out to his friends within "ufology", as Stuart had largely withdrawn from the "field" after Alien Worlds folded. Nick Redfern has posted his thoughts on Stuart's passing, and Paul Kimball has a nice write-up of his personal experience with Stuart over at his blog, describing him as "one of the truly good guys in ufology...a genuinely good man, full of joie de vivre, wit, humour, and a true spirit of adventure and humanity. He will be missed by all who were lucky enough to know him." Stuart's passing is a real tragedy, and our thoughts go out to his family at this difficult time. |

Another guy with personalized UFO license plates. In the early 1990s, after I had seen personalized plates on a car owned by a UFO witness, I decided to get my own. A few years later, I met a colleague from Toronto who had his own.

UFO
Disclosure and Planetary Directions Symposium
On September 25, 2005, I attended my first Symposium on UFO Disclosure which took place at the Convocation Hall of the University of Toronto.
On the eve of the Symposium (September 24, 2005), I was at the CFRB 1010 radio station where "Strange Days...Indeed" host Errol Bruce-Knapp and co-host Victor Viggiani interviewed three of the four speakers: Richard Dolan, Stanton T. Friedman and Stephen G. Bassett.
David Cherniack was there to shoot video footage for documentaries he's working on. His most recent project was a documentary entitled UFOs: The Secret History, which aired on the History channel on July 15, 2008. Sunday
edition of In This Summer on CBC Radio One
During the Symposium, I met up with some colleagues of mine that I had known for a few years, as well as some new people, including Mike Bird, the Provincial Director for MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) in Ontario, and Victor Viggiani who co-hosted "Strange Days...Indeed!"
