SPACEMAN IN THE DEAD SEA SCRIPTURES

In my conversation with Astronaut Edgar Mitchell he emphasized that the Dead 
Sea Scrolls are very important in regard to solving the secrets of the UFOs.  
"The Zadokite Document," discovered fifty years ago in an old synagogue in 
Cairo, confirms Genesis and mentions the landing of Spacemen, their giant 
offspring and immorality.  "Because they walked in the stubbornness of their 
hearts, the Watchers of heaven fell, yea, they were caught thereby because 
they kept not the Commandments of God.  So too their Sons whose height was 
like the lofty cedars and whose bodies were as mountains.  They also fell." 
The Scriptures of the Dead Sea Sect by Theodore H. Gaster.

NEW JERSEY  

OCEANPORT -- Skywatch International Inc. reports that on May 16, 1999, there 
was a UFO sighting at 3:34 AM.  A Golden red "sphere" was observed at 
approximately 10,000 feet in altitude, flying due south at a constant 
velocity, altitude and brightness.  This is similar to a thousand other 
nighttime sphere sightings, with one exception, I live within an equilateral 
of military bases, Fort Monmouth, Ft. Earl, and C-Comm.  The sphere passed 
directly overhead of Fort Monmouth's three radar dishes.  Thanks to

SOUTH CAROLINA 

HARTSVILLE -- Terry Kimbrell MUFON/ISUR Field Investigator reports sighting a 
boomerang shaped UFO on the night of May 8, 1999.  We were star gazing 
outside my at 10:27 PM, when my niece exclaimed WOW!!!  When I looked up, I 
saw a "darker than night" boomerang-shaped shadow glide silently overhead.  
My 16 year old niece and myself witnessed the "glide-over."  Even though my 
field of view was brief, the boomerang outline was very distinct.  The object 
had rounded edges, with 7 yellow-gold lights lining the front edge.  One 
light was at the front and three were down each leg.  The lights did not 
reflect on the object, just points of light, as if they might be recessed.  I 
lost sight after the object passed over the roof of the house.  The first 
sighting was by my niece who saw the object at 40 degrees above the horizon.  
She saw five patterns connected together in a V-shape at less than a mile.  
They were a dull gray, reflecting the city lights in the distance from below. 
 She made a drawing on my request showing the shape of the patterns.  There 
were concave arcs on the front and convex arcs on the back.  She did not see 
the 7 lights, that is one reason I think they were recessed in the object.  I 
saw them when the craft was directly overhead.  The apparent size was 2 ½ to 
3 inches from tip to tip at arm's length giving it a calculated size of 500 
to 600 feet.  The angle of the boomerang wing was 120 degrees.  The craft was 
flying from the west to the northeast at 500 to 600 MPH.  Its altitude was 
2,000 to 3,000 feet.  The sighting was for 5 to 7 seconds.  We contacted 
police, radar sites, and Sergeant Pintar Shaw Air Base, Sumter, SC.  She said 
they only had F-16's stationed there and no Stealth aircraft, nor boomerangs, 
etc.  My investigation is still ongoing.  I made a computer generated drawing 
of the UFO that can be sent on request to: JJLJ45A@ prodigy.com.  Thanks to

TAMPA BAY – MUFON's David Ring writes they have started investigation of the 
Lsound case and his videos.  The images he presents under magnification may 
be distortions.  (This may be due to the difficulty of obtaining good night 
time videos.)  The area where lights are being seen is on the flight path to 
Avon Park Bombing Range.  Flares are know to be used in the area.  He does 
have some unusual video footage which has been evaluated by one of our local 
computer whizzes that seems interesting.  We need to obtain more information 
about Lsound's unusual experiences.  There may well be something there, but 
additional investigation is needed.  Lsound claims to have seen a physical 
craft about 50 to 100 feet above his car after chasing one of the lights last 
year.  That does not mean all the lights he or his children see are physical 
craft.  We have asked him to alert us when he next sees the lights so we can 
make our evaluations of what is out there.  Thanks to David Ring, 
sol_dr@hotmail.com.  Editor's Note: Avon Park Bombing Range has been a hot 
bed for UFO reports since the 1950s.  UFOs have often appeared to be entering 
and departing the range.

LOUISIANA 

LAKE CHARLES -- J. R. Tibodeaux says, "I witnessed something very strange out 
side my home May 16, 1999, I was outside stargazing as I usually do.  I 
noticed and odd looking light or star like object moving north at around 
22:00 hours.  At first I thought it was just a star, but as I watched I 
realized it was at 10,000 feet or so, and it was slowly descending.  It 
finally came to a stop at around 500 feet above the ground and remained idle 
with no movement or noise.  It was a triangular shape craft that had a blue 
glow to it and three bright purple lights one at each corner.  This craft was 
enormous in size about 300 feet across.  It stayed hovering over my house for 
at least 4 to 6 minutes.  Then the craft's purple lights turned off and it 
emitted a whine noise and rapidly lifted up in the sky.  It climbed to about 
6000 feet.  It accelerated and took off at a very high speed probably over 
500 mph.  It was out of my view within 20 seconds.  This is the second time, 
I have witnessed a similar craft this year.  If you have any information 
please share it with me.  Thanks to: J. R Tibodeaux, JRT187

NEW MEXICO   

Colin McFadden visited Mike Broussard Guestbook and posted the following 
sighting.  Colin writes, "On May 6, 1999, I was backpacking in an area 85 
miles south of Roswell.  All week long I had heard military jets making 
rumbling noises doing training and testing in the area, but not making sonic 
booms.  Thursday night, I was sitting outside my tent in the middle of the 
desert looking at the sky.  Overhead, a plane about the size of mid sized 
commercial jet such as a 737 flew by at a very low altitude.  A few hundred 
feet behind what my have been a 737 was a HUGE black aircraft.  Its great 
size dwarfed the first jet.  The black aircraft was dark so I could not 
actually see the whole shape.  Based on the pattern of the lights, it looked 
like there was a fuselage with a single wing going off at a right angle.  The 
lights were flashing in an odd pattern unlike commercial or military 
aircraft.  Did anybody else see this craft? Thanks to Colin McFadden at

NEVADA

AREA 51 -- Frits Westra –- UFO Netherlands  reports from "Kim and Keith."  
Yesterday, May 14, 1999, I saw my first UFO.  I was flying from Phoenix to 
Oakland on an America West 737.  We were approaching the Sierra Nevada's 
Mountains on a completely clear morning.  They are now splendid with a late 
snow.  I noticed we had flown over several commercial jetliners headed in the 
opposite direction.  At about 9:15 AM, as I looked up from watching a jet 
pass under us, I clearly saw a black-looking angular aircraft.  It was rising 
slowly from just below our altitude.  It had no familiar shapes of wings or 
tail protruding, but it was definitely angular.  It was maybe 5 miles away 
and I watched it for about a minute or two.  I thought our pilots must 
certainly be aware of it, since it was a potential collision threat, being 
level with our jet.  It's direction of travel was opposite to ours at first, 
but extremely slow.  As I watched, it did not get smaller, as it surely would 
have at our speeds.  Its motion ceased to be counter to ours, and instead, it 
stayed even with us.  I kept my eyes on it in avid interest.  Then, I glanced 
down for a blink of an eye, and when I looked up, it was totally absent from 
the sky!  It could not have disappeared in that time period.  After the 
flight, I spoke with the pilot.  He said we had been over Area 51, when I saw 
the craft, but he had not seen it, or even been aware of it!  The pilot said 
many strange craft are reported there.  Guess this is another one.  Thanks to

SEWAGE IS FALLING ON UTAH?

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Maybe it's a bird, maybe it's a plane.  But it is 
certainly sewage.  And it's no joke in the Salt Lake Valley, where gobs of 
thick, raw sewage have fallen from the sky a dozen times since April 9, 
soiling as many as seven houses at once.  Neighbors are pointing fingers at 
aircraft, but the Federal Aviation Administration says commercial jets aren't 
designed to jettison sewage.  Sheriff's deputies are studying `splatter 
patterns'' and firefighters are hosing down houses.  Prosecutors have 
assigned an investigator to the case and authorities are issuing stern 
warnings.  `It has never been funny,'' said Mayor Janice Auger of hard-hit 
suburban Taylorsville. "The experience is really gross.  The smell is 
terrible. This is a health issue. There's a lot of diseases in fecal 
matter.''  "It is feces, but they can't tell if it's animal or human,'' 
sheriff's Capt. Lee Smith said of the first lab tests on the foul emissions. 
The FAA, no stranger to reports of weird phenomena, doesn't know what to make 
of the mess. ``We never heard anything like this,'' agency spokesman Mitch 
Barker said, `` © Copyright 1999 The Associated Press 5/15/99; Ufo Contat.

OMEGA INSIGNIA ON RHODE ISLAND UFO CREATES RESPONSES

ROBERT OMEGA – writes as of late there have been considerable inquiries of 
the meaning behind the Omega Agency insignia.  I assure you all that the 
meaning is nonviolent or threatening in any way.  I will explain the insignia 
for all who are interested. 1) The triangular shape outlining the insignia 
stands for the power created  through the bringing together of all worlds and 
races. 2) The symbol of Omega does stand for the end. The end of an     
existence of turmoil, struggle and war, a new beginning, a new peace. 3) The 
Earth represents the presence of Omega Agency here on Earth. 4) The lightning 
bolts symbolize the power of the Universe.  An energy shared by all.  5) The 
number in the lower right-hand corner represents the craft of a member of the 
Omega Fifteen.   As I have stated in previous letters, Omega Agency is not on 
Earth to take over or to lead Earth to a new future.  Omega Agency is here to 
offer   Earth and its people a new way of life.   A way of life where 
everyone is a productive  citizen of society.  A way of life free of 
prejudice and hate.  In short,  Omega Agency will not harm, threaten or take 
over the Earth.  As one with the Universe, Robert 

Barry Taylor. UFO Researcher Australia writes.   Regarding Robert Omega's 
statements in your files last week.  He appears to be full of B.S. (Oz 
expression) he says.. "The triangular design has been found to be the most 
aerodynamic shape for travel, much as the United States' Stealth fighter."  
>From my observations of REAL UFO's, the 'Disc'(lens) shape and 'sphere' are 
the most common, hence most efficient shaped craft for Space travel. Triangle 
craft may be used as 'scouts' based in Mother Ship 'cigars'.  We all know 
that the Stealth fighter is a very unstable aircraft to fly (Hence the 
elaborate computer system to aid flight), and is not very aerodynamic as far 
as unpowered gliding is concerned. Remember the one that crashed into houses 
at an Air Show some time back?  Robert Omega also said, "Omega's craft have 
the capability of traveling at speeds from two miles per hour to as fast as 
three times the speed of light."  If he really knew what he was talking 
about, he should have said. "From hovering to 'teleportation.'  Just a 
thought.  Thanks to Barry Taylor stingray@nor.com.au.  UFO Home Page

STUDY ON ROSWELL PHOTOS CONTINUE

Niel Morris from Manchester, England sends a few comments on the pictures 
taken by Bond Johnson in General Ramey's office in July of 1947.  I know 
Jesse Marcel has often said that his father always maintained that there was 
a mixture of debris in the pictures shot at Fort Worth.  George Filer has 
said this too.  Well, at last we may have some hard evidence that this might 
be true.  There are two strings of what could be "numbers", that could be 
read as "7" "5" "3" etc.  But in the left hand image you can make out what 
could quite easily be read as "3a 4 1/2" followed by possibly "J".  These  
characters do seem to be nearer "normal" earthbound script than anything else 
on the debris.  Elsewhere in the pictures the style, characters,  and the 
"number strings" show a distinct change of style in these "symbols."  The 
number "5" character is actually constructed, very unlike how I would write 
or print a 5.  Looking closely at the characters the "normal" interpretation 
is a little open, as there are a number of markings and symbols close by and 
also associated with the characters, which cannot be interpreted as "normal" 
in content.  The more I look at the construction of the "3a" the more I feel 
this is in fact a single symbol who's lower section is badly registered in 
the picture, but I can't account for the "1/2" in this way.  I could be quite 
wrong with this interpretation but I thought it should be aired.  I'm not too 
happy at giving these a total thumbs up as being conclusively "earthbound" 
numbers?  Any comments gratefully received.  The other features shown is "the 
emblem" as seen from a slightly different angle in the General Ramey alone 
photo.  The decorative nature of the design though the "mouth" symbol doesn't 
show up too well.  There is an "interesting" piece of metallic looking 
debris, that sits on the "white" material that the "emblem" is found on.  It 
looks like an animal head with two eyes that's looking at the camera.  (Note) 
It doesn't seem very logical to draw pictures of animals and strange symbols 
on a Mogul Balloon.

Neil Morris continues, "I've been forced to have a rethink regarding the 
'emblem' at the top left corner of the message held in General Ramey's hand.  
I'm currently part way through a new set of images reflecting this.  I 
decided to give the "emblem" another look-over this time from another scan 
from the collection I'm assembling.  This has borne fruit as I now think I 
can give a reasonably accurate description of just what the "emblem" or more 
correctly the "seal" looked like.  Tracing the rounded pattern further I 
realized it's actually a "circular" feature if you compensate for the 
geometry of the folded sheet of paper.  Also when this compensation is done a 
very symmetrical feature in the center of this "circle" became apparent.  I 
came across a document dated 1950, that had in it's top left corner the seal 
of the US Department of Defense that seems to match!  The symmetrical 
features were the wings of the US Eagle holding the arrows of war in it's 
claws!  To the left of the Eagle there is still the distinct "delta" arrow 
feature.  I'm hoping when I've completed a "mockup" of this Seal, it will 
tell us just where the Ramey Message originated!" Thanks to Neil  Morris at:

CROP  CIRCLES

CANADA -- The Circles Phenomenon Research Team reports as we head into the 
last summer before the new millennium, the crop circles are once again 
returning to fields around the world.  There are a dozen formations now in 
England as of this update (all in oil-seed rape -- canola in North America) 
and the first report for this year in Germany.  The circle season in England 
got off to its earliest start of any year so far, with the first formation 
reported in early April.  There is an interesting array of overlapping 
circles and rings.  One crop circle appears to include a 617 foot depiction 
of this summer's upcoming major eclipse?  There are old-style early '90s type 
pictograms and crescents.  Will they also return to Canada?  Time will tell 
since most formations in Canada are reported in late July or August.  If you 
see or hear of any reports of possible circles, please do let us know!

BRITISH HID UFOs USING THE OFFICIAL SECRETS ACT 

Author Nick Redfern reports a break through in proving UFO data was hidden by 
the Official Secrets Act and the Joint Intelligence Committee.  Has the 
British Government ever used the Official Secrets Act to silence those 
implicated in the UFO subject?  To those armchair researchers who proclaim 
that such an idea is absurd, I say: 'Think again.'  In my first book, A 
Covert Agenda, I presented clear evidence via officially released documents 
now available at the Public Record Office at Kew, that in both 1953 and 1956 
orders were circulated throughout the RAF warning personnel not to talk about 
the UFO issue outside of official channels.  However, the records which had 
been declassified at the time I wrote the book did not directly reference the 
OSA or its potential use from a ufological perspective.  Nevertheless, I was 
also able to present the testimony of a number of individuals who asserted 
that the OSA had been used to keep the truth surrounding UFOs under wraps.  
Through a file that I secured only days ago from the PRO, I am now able to 
prove conclusively that UFOs and the Official Secrets Act go hand in hand.  
Exactly why the Government has chosen to release this file is a mystery in 
itself, given that it sharply contradicts past assertions.  The file titled 
'UFO Policy' covers the period 1958 to 1963 and revolves around UFO 
investigations undertaken by various Air Ministry departments during that 
time frame.  Contained within the file is a 6-page document dating from 
December 1960 and circulated at 'Secret' level throughout the Royal Air 
Force.  Like earlier papers, it details the procedures to be followed in the 
event that military radar operators, RAF pilots, civil pilots or members of 
the public should report a UFO.  Interestingly, however, the paper in 
question contains two eye-opening revelations.  First, it states that in 
situations where UFOs were tracked on radar, any military aircraft in the 
vicinity were to be diverted from their normal flight to 'investigate the 
phenomena.'  Second, and far more significant, is the Air Ministry's 
overwhelming desire to prevent the media and the public learning about such 
intrusions, trackings and interceptions.  I quote from the paper in question: 
'The Press are never to be given information about unusual radar sightings.  
Unauthorized disclosures of this type will be viewed as offences under the 
Official Secrets Act.   

Editor's Note:  When flying for the USAF in February of 1962, we were in 
orbit for refueling operations over the North Sea at 30,000 feet in our KB-50 
J tanker aircraft.  At 9:00 PM, London Control excitedly notified us that 
they had an unidentified object hovering between Oxford and Stonehenge at 
around 1,000 feet altitude.  We were asked if we were willing to investigate? 
 Our refueling mission was about over, so we quickly agreed to chase their 
UFO.  We were given an intercept heading and started to dive toward the UFO.  
This was really fun and exciting compared to a standard mission.  I never 
could recall such speed and power as our six engines were advanced to full 
military power as we dove on the target.  London Control was diverting 
commercial aircraft to clear our path for the intercept.  Then we realized we 
were above our red lined maximum speed and had trouble slowing our aircraft.  
London Control started giving our distance to the hovering UFO.  They called 
out your 100 miles apart, 60, and 40.  At about 30 miles my APS-23 Radar seem 
to pick up the hovering UFO directly ahead.  It was an exceptionally large 
radar return reminding me of a large bridge or a ship such as a destroyer.  
This craft was as big or bigger than anything I had seen in the air before.  
The return was sharp and solid as compared to the fuzziness of a rain cloud.  
I felt this craft must be made of steel or strong metal.  We were doing 
around 425 mph as we approached to about ten miles, when it apparently 
realized we were intercepting.  It was a dark night, we could only see a 
series of dim lights directly ahead.  Now only five miles separated us.  
Suddenly the UFO seemed to come alive, the lights brightened and the UFO 
accelerated in a launch similar to the Space Shuttle at night.  We saw much 
brighter lights and fantastic acceleration almost straight up and suddenly it 
was gone.  We asked London Control, "If they had any rocket launches in the 
area?"  London Control seemed as disappointed as we were.  The controller 
said, "There are no rocket launches in that area, thank you for the 
intercept, you are now cleared to return to your mission."  Our mission was 
no longer a priority and we had to fly the normal routine traffic patterns.  
It is clear they felt there was a strong return for the 20 to 25 minutes it 
had taken to reach the UFO.  We had been cleared directly through various 
altitudes, airways and commercial traffic so they must have considered this 
mission very important.  I can still see that return in my mind's eye and 
I've been chasing UFOs ever since.

TAPE OF EDWARD'S AIR FORCE BASE UFO ENCOUNTER

Sam Sherman's audio documentary tape called THE EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE 
ENCOUNTER on the night of October 7, 1965, uses the actual voice recordings 
provided by the Air Force.  During this event 12 high tech luminous UFOs 
invade secure air space and came down low over the runways at Edwards AFB, 
where tower operator Chuck Sorrels spotted them and notified the Air Defense 
Command.  I have met and spoken to Sorrels who is heard on the original tapes 
and in a new segment in which he verifies the event as it is heard on the 
archival recordings.  The UFOs are described and a decision is made to launch 
F-106 interceptors.  You are there in an important part of UFO history.  Hear 
it for yourself, its probably the best tape ever made and its record of a 
real event.  The cost of the tape is $14.95 each plus $2.00 for shipping -- 
total $16.95 -- the buyer can send either a personal check or money order to: 
INDEPENDENT INTERNATIONAL, Box 565, Dept.  GF, Old Bridge, New Jersey 08857.  
This a great tape to listen to with your friends.  Even most military men 
enjoy the tape and feel it is authentic.
