      Filer's Files #24 --1999, MUFON Skywatch Investigations George A. Filer, Mutual UFO Network Eastern Director, June 18, 1999, Majorstar@aol.com (609) 654-0020 Wilbert Smith, Senior radio engineer, Department of Transport, Director of Project Magnet for the Canadian government after visiting key US officials stated: "The matter is the most highly classified subject in the United States Government, rating higher even than the H-bomb. Flying saucers exist. Their modus operandi is unknown but a concentrated effort is being made by a small group headed by Doctor Vannevar Bush. The entire matter is considered by the United States authorities to be of tremendous significance." (Top Secret memorandum on "Geo Magnetics" November 21, 1950:) NEW JERSEY WANAQUE -- Tim Beckley writes about last weeks Jim Cleary interview with a Wanaque investigator. There are a few things wrong with this report. I was involved in the initial investigations and wrote the story up for Fate magazine. There were strange things flying around Wanaque that I do not believe were (Earth) fault lights, because these cannot shoot into and out of a reservoir. However, a craft did not go into the water for a week and stay there. Augie Roberts, somewhat of a famous Ufologist and early UFO witness himself saw and photographed a light over the water. He said it looked like it had submerged, but there was ice all over he reservoir and I think this was in February. Supposedly it shot down a beam of light onto the ice and cut a hole into it first. Some people were even going around with pictures showing the craft, but the much reproduced photos were really taken in Pennsylvania sometime before. They are a series of four or five photos showing a beam of light coming out of the bottom of the craft. Also the Governor never visited the site. The Mayor made some comment at a town council meeting and some thought the Air Force had shown up and threatened witnesses. But it was actually an NICAP member who wanted the case kept under his belt so he got credit for the investigation and word got out that he was an MIB or government agent. As usual things got out of hand and certain rumors persist to this day. As in the case of Roswell and other UFO incidents you have a legitimate case and what is added on later acts like a smoke screen to make the story sound ridiculous. There was at least one police officer with multiple sightings and there was talk that a car had disappeared. This is totally without proof. If you drive down the road around the reservoir you will disappear because it just keeps on going toward I think High Bridge; where Howard Menger was having some of his experiences. Thanks to Tim Beckley Mr. UFO. MRUFO@webtv.net. INDIANA GARY -- Eric Carman writes: "I would like to share with you an incident that I have only told my wife and brother about." On a relatively clear day last June, (I am not sure of the exact date) I was sitting in my living room at approximately 10:30 AM waiting for my daughter's school bus. I was seated next to my large picture window when, something caught my eye to the right. At first glance, I saw what I perceived to be children's balloons floating away in the wind. When I took a second look, I was struck by something odd. There are 4-6 power lines located in front of the house and these balloons were slowly traveling in a trajectory directly parallel with the power lines. This peaked my interest enough to go outside and look. I noticed three gray, slightly metallic, slightly oval spheres slowly rotating or "rolling" over one another as they traveled horizontally. Then a low level fourth sphere came and joined the original three. They continued their horizontal path for a few more seconds in relation to the power lines, sped up tremendously and vanished. I was able to snap a photo, but I took it as the four UFOs joined and it doesn't show much. I do not know what they were but I know I will never forget them." Thanks to Eric Carman, CARQUEZ @aol.com. MINNESOTA - TWO HARBORS -- Just north of Duluth on Lake Superior's southern end is a National Park called Split Rock Light House. It used to be a working lighthouse but is not any more. I was hiking with my daughter on June 4, 1999, along the shore. We stopped to see a VERY bright object hovering above the lake about three miles out from shore. There were no other objects in the sky nor any shipping to speak of in the area. It was about 1,000 feet above the water. We were unable to tell the size of the object since it was so bright and we just watched it hover there for about 30 minutes. After that it went straight up! I did not have my camera with me -- something I regret for more reasons than this. There were several other witnesses at the lighthouse. There was no aircraft traffic in the area according to the Duluth International Airport radar. Thanks to Dave Briscoe, Minnesota State Director Skywatch International. TEXAS KARNES CITY -- Your Filer's Files 99-22, regarding Michael Harvey's sighting of a UFO while working the night shift for Conoco Oil Company at an open pit uranium mine. Graduate Geologist John Thompson and field investigator writes: "Did that hit a nerve." I worked much of South Texas in a geochemical survey for uranium. I have stood in many of those open-pits. Virtually, everything Harvey wrote rings true. He even had the designation for Caterpillar 657B earth movers correct. I cannot confirm the UFO sighting, but there were many strange things going on in those days including UFO reports. I had a rancher tell me once that two of his cows changed colors while drinking water on his ranch, not far from a Karnes City mine. Harvey's story holds up remarkably well for at least what he claims to be doing when seeing his UFO. Harvey stated, "The light was so bright that it hurt my eyes. The object was round and the bright light was coming from the center of the bottom of the UFO. Around the perimeter o
