Newsletter - Nov 24, 1997

Introduction

Hi All;

As most of you already know me on a personal level, I feel I need to let you all know what this newsletter is all about! First a few words about myself.

I'm a 45 year old housewife, married for 28 years, and a believer in the strange things that gone on in our planet. I have been interested in the UFO Phenomenon ever since I was a young girl (story follows of my sighting). Along with a very deep interest in The Philadelphia Experiment, which my father had personally witnessed and talked about while he was station in Philadelphia during the early 40's. I have also wrote a few short stories, which I have left on the back burners so to speak.

I have found myself with more time on my hands now since PRODIGY is going to shut down Weird Worlds. This has been a heaven sent to me, now it seems I have more time to do the things that I always wanted to do, like some more writing and this newsletter which I have been asking others about!

This newsletter is going to contain stories, both old and new. Some web sites for you to try out! Some information on books that are out there! UFO Sightings. And pretty much anything to do with the PARANORMAL!

I would like to personally ask those of you that have a web site to include my SUBSCRIPTION information on your links. I thank you in advance........

Sincerely

Louise A. Lowry

Childhood Sighting

A Craft Sighting

By Louise A Lowry

As I think back on this time in my life, I have found it very weird as I have started learning about more and more of these kinds of sightings. Here is my story!

Not quite sure as I sit here thinking what year it was, but it was either 1960 or 61' in the summer time. It was either at the end of July or the being of August. Being 8 or 9 years old at the time this part of the remembering really didn't play any kind of roll with me. I use to travel and spend my summers with my Aunt and Uncle and my 3 cousins (twin girls Denise and Darlene) an my other cousin Butchie. All of this took place in a small town where they lived in Trappe Maryland which is right outside of Cambridge.

One evening as we had finished up our dinner and we were all cleaning up and Butchie was the one that took out the trash.....it was about 8PM-8:30PM the light was still strong and it had been a very hot day. This was a week of a considerable heat wave going on. As us girls were cleaning up the dishes...Butchie came running in "SCREAMING" "There is something flying in the back field, hurry come see!" This back field that he is talking about is a baseball field that sits behind the local church....we have alwayed played there...in fact in this small town it was the only place to play.

So my Uncle Butch, Butchie, my other 2 cousins and myself ran out the door and though their back yard till we came to the ball field. At first it was so unbelievable that we just stood there, but being children I guess we want a closer look, we walked though the gate and walked to the first base side dugout. Then we preceded to climb it to be closer to this thing. My uncle stay on the ground!

It was silver-gray in color we didn't see any windows or doors or for that matter any kinds of seams.... that you would see on a plane. I have only saw this type of craft in a few pictures it was the kind that had what looked like 3 large balls underneath it. This Craft was about 90 feet in diameter. We pretty much had the size down since it was much bigger than the baseball diamond which runs 60 feet from base to base. The funny thing I really remember was how I was thinking well how is it just hanging there... .there was no noise at all...just a very slight hum... but I must repeat very slight! A Few of us tried to touch this thing flying there. It was about 10 feet off the ground and about 20 feet from us. But of course being on the dugout it seemed like it was sitting right on top of our laps. As we sat there we had to keep on covering our eyes, the dust was being kicked up by the craft and at times was flying into our eyes. My Uncle did nothing but stand there and watched. We chattered about "What is it?" "How come there is no sound from something as this big?" After a few minutes this craft started to lift up ever so slowly, it just keep on going up straight till it was like a helium balloon way up there that you could hardly seen then it just took off.

As people has asked me "Did you have any sun burn?" no there were no marks at all of any kind of burns on us. Also I was asked was there any missing time, I know there was not.

Now the other part of this story is very strange. My Uncle worked as the Marine State Police in Maryland, so after this happened. I knew he had called someone about this sighting he was very excited. All us kids went upstairs to watch out the window. I think we spent half the night doing this. After my uncle called he was walking around the place like a cat on a hot tin roof. I'm not really sure if he was upset or nervous.

The next day when my uncle came home from work. He called all us kids together for a sort of pow-wow. But we knew something was the matter, cause he was physically upset and then he started talking we knew me meant what he said. He told us that we were never to talk about this to anyone and we were to keep our mouths shut! He said we didn't see nothing...and he kept saying "DO YOU UNDERSTAND"....I will never forget this cause we were all trying to say But BUT...and he kept saying to "SHUT UP" repeating over and over. That we were not to talk to no one about this thing we saw. Or we could get into big trouble!

So of course we all told him we would not say anything. That day later was another thing! We were told to stay inside the house till we were told that we could go out again. As we stayed in we started to see these people walking around out back. They were heading for the baseball field. They were carrying some kind instruments. But being young I didn't know what they were doing. Well for the rest of that day they were there. The following day we started to watch them again when we started to comment on a strange person that was just standing there. The reason we commented on him was cause he was wearing all BLACK....and being that it had been very hot these past few days we all knew that black clothing drew heat. Well here this guy was never talking to anyone and just watching, dressed in black with a hat that was also black, but really looked to big for his head.

This is pretty much the end of the story. I really haven't had any other encounters except the sighting of the large craft around the moon. My uncle died in 95 and went to his death bed never saying a word on it. I talked with my 2 twin cousins and they both have had other sightings. But chie visited me when he was at the Warminister Naval War, Air and Research Center, he is in the service and travels around. He confided in me of telling me of a number of encounters. Plus he also thinks there is an implant in his knee. This was verified by 2 doctors at our last talk. They both asked him when he had surgery on the knee and he told them he never did. So the encounter goes on.

Firefly / Starfight

By: Louise A. Lowry

About 1:30 Am, along Freelang Highway, just outside of Mulen, Kansas, McKenzie saw it. He just stood there on the interstate off ramp in the pressing darkness, his car lights still on the motor chugging hopefully, his eyes fixed on a tiny spark, ignited possibly by the long settled sun beyond the curving horizon. Yet, that distant ember (so McKenzie had dully noted before screaming his tires off the highway to view from a stationary point on the shoulder) was MOVING.

It could have been an aircraft. But it was traveling at what McKenzie guesstimated at around fifteen...eighteen hundred miles per hour. An aircraft, YES. But NOTHING created by Douglas or Lockheed engineers.

It was all over in a minute. The light poised at two thousand feet off the rim of the horizon. Then it broke out of earth's atmosphere... like a ROCKET.

McKenzie drove home......and threw his Bible in the fireplace. King James didn't cover a CLOSE ENCOUNTER of the first kind. It suddenly had become an obsolete pseudo-History Book. <He felt like crying>

It ate on him. Bad. Ruling out the obvious truth, McKenzie figured. ..what else, shooting stars? Weather balloons? Satellites? Flares? Fireflies....?

Fireflies! All his mind could ponder was fireflies. But not how they illuminate, no, he didn't watch them twinkle and marvel at their amazing luminescent capability. No, all McKenzie's troubled mind could deliberate about was...how fireflies make war! Very territorial, fireflies, invading, defending, slaughtering, all for territory. TERRITORY!

His thoughts were dark and troubled. Things cold and moist slithered across his soul. McKenzie couldn't sleep. He tried warm milk, a hot bath, very thing...and finally opted for a Starlight Stroll.

It was his farm now, since he'd dropped out of the business world. It used to be his dad's. But the old thinking' rock had always been his own...and he needed it now. BAD! He lit a number and relaxed waiting for the old familiar feeling to come over him. You couldn't hide from the truth when you were stoned, and now was the time for realization!

He'd lie back, pick out a constellation or so and wait to assume a low profile in the nerve department. He thought he was tracing at first. ...then, when he realized they were really there....McKenzie swallowed the roach.

They fell noiselessly out of the obvious setting, black void above, starwrought space arcking behind them. They came like a vision....FORTY BILLION feet per second! McKenzie watched. They were way out there.... then they were tree-top level, just like that! Like blazing rain falling at his face. They weren't racing. One FLED...the other PURSUED. Shimmering bolts of lightning SEARED McKenzie's farm land. McKenzie had no time to speculate on distances, like exactly how close those battling ships would come before they would snap aside from inevitable impact with the planet's surface, and McKenzie!

McKenzie laid there for a long time, until his eyeballs dried out and the stone wore off. Talk about basic RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCES. <cheez>

Some twenty minutes later McKenzie stood up and walked to a glowing patch of weeds not ten feet from his thinking' rock. (Ray Blast Residue) It was a night for realization, all right! He could have been this glowing bush. A victim of bystance...instead of a man who just had a Close Encounter of the Second Kind.

McKenzie went inside. Ray Bradbury joined King James in the fire. He felt like ASIMOV! It boiled down to this: They were up there! A lot of people knew they were up there. But it seemed to McKenzie that somehow he might be a little more acutely aware than most that THEY REALLY WERE UP THERE!

He gathered up three shotguns from different cabinets around the house. Perhaps he alone knew they were engaged in real, tactical, INTERPLANETARY WARFARE.... Two fractions battling over <TERRITORY>. Questions about who was fighting whom....who were the GOOD guys...who were the BAD...didn't even enter into it. All you are to THEM, kid, is TERRITORY! Why should you worry about ways they'll subdivide you?

McKenzie was busy not thinking about it. He was killing "FIREFLIES" . Getting it out of his system. Then he tossed the rifles and pistols into the well....and sat on its edge to watch "THREE SHIPS" above him rend each other like rabid wolves!

He was relieved to see the morning sky. It was comforting not to see the stars....and what was going on around them. It didn't happen. Not while you were plowing Twenty-Three acres on a hot, sunny spring morning. It just ....DIDN'T HAPPEN! But , when the sun was at its hottest, McKenzie parked the machine, rested, ate a little and WATCHED while one of them about the size of a 747 screamed above the foothills.. ..with two little ones spiraling after it. Not moving like Air Force Fighters. Horizon to horizon in one instant! 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, GONE! FAST!

McKenzie tossed the tractor keys into the creek and walked back to the house....slow. He rolled up half a dime bag, threw everyone from Niven to Clarke into the fireplace and got RIPPED.

McKenzie sat in front of the hearth, feeling mellow, feeding the blaze, first with his LIBRARY.....then with his CLOTHES. Then he went to work on the FURNITURE. He knew what was coming. He wanted to be PREPARED ! Now, the great mysteries of mankind dwindled into childish RIDDLES. It didn't seem to matter anymore. Now, McKenzie's only concern was withholding two very important items from the fire. His TELEPHONE and a .45 AUTOMATIC.

That night McKenzie carried the phone onto his front porch. He called his ex-wife and his kids, a few friends, family, plus a couple of people he owed bread to while THEY slugged it out up there..... Somewhere between his smoking chimney top and the North Star. Sometimes they dueled among the stars and their LASER BURSTS seemed like heat lightning in the midnight sky. Sometimes they were close, their burning lasers RIPPING across the countryside. FIREFLIES>>>>STARFIGHT McKenzie didn't call the police or the government agencies. They'd FIND OUT! He just ran up a HUGE BILL telling people he liked and loved just where they stood with him, telling them {GOODBYE}

McKenzie's ancestors hadn't died in bloody RANGE WARS just to teach dumb cattle to work geometry, wear slacks and not to pass. in public. And he just couldn't believe that these interstellar warriors had come billions of light years, then fought a pitched territorial battle in his backyard for ULTIMATE-CONTROL of his planet with the philanthropic intent of offering fatherly advice on PHYSICS, WORLD PEACE and INTERGALACTIC BROTHERHOOD! He watched the starfighters display of gallantry and madness. It was SPLENDID. It was HORRORIFIC. But McKenzie was ready to let somebody ELSE pick-up....where a single shot from a .45 left HIM off. A Close Encounter of the Third Kind was INEVITABLE-and SOON. But it wouldn't be MCKENZIE'S problem to deal with. He handled the first two kinds of the encounter pretty WELL....and two out of three...all things considered.....ain't BAD!

Extra-Terrestrial Exposure Law

EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL EXPOSURE LAW Already Passed by Congress

On October 5, 1982, Dr. Brain T. Clifford of the Pentagon announced at a press conference ("The Star", New York, Oct. 5, 1982) that contact between U.S. citizens and extra-terrestrials or their vehicles is strictly illegal. According to a law already on the books: (Title 14, Section 1211 of the Code of Federal Regulations, adopted on July 16, 1969, before the Apollo moon shots), anyone guilty of such contact automatically becomes a wanted criminal to be jailed for one year and fined $5,000. The NASA administrator is empowered to determine with or without a hearing that a person or object has been "extraterrestrially exposed" and impose an indeterminate quarantine under armed guard, which could not be broken even by court order.

There is no limit placed on the number of individuals who could thus be arbitrarily quarantined. The definition of "extraterrestrial exposure" is left entirely up to NASA administrator, who is thus endowed with total dictatorial power to be exercised at his slightest caprice, which is completely contrary to the Constitution. According to Dr. Clifford, whose commanding officers have been assuring the public for the last 39 years that UFO's are nothing more than hoaxes and delusions to be dismissed with a condescending smile: "This is really no joke, it's a very serious matter." This legislation was buried in the 1,211th subsection of the 14th section of a batch of regulations very few members of government probably bothered to read in its entirety, the proverbial needle in the haystack, and was slipped onto the books without public debate. Thus from one day to the next we lean that, without having informed the public, in its infinite wisdom, the government of the United States has created a whole new criminal class: UFO contactees. The lame excuse offered by NASA as a sugar coating for this bitter pill is that extra-terrestrials might have a virus that could wipe out the human race. This is certainly one of the many possibilities inherent is such contact, but just as certainly not the only one , and in itself not a valid reason to make all contact illegal or to declare contactees criminals to be jailed and fined immediately. It appears the primary effect of such a law would not be to prevent contact, it would be to silence witnesses. If enforced, the law would prevent publication of contactee reports except under cover of anonymity, and unleash a modern inquisition in the Land of the Free. However, it is unenforceable, so obviously absurd and unfair that the public will refuse to accept it. The citizens of the United States will greet it with a resounding Bronx cheer and laugh it out of court, forcing it to be repealed. It should be replaced by clearly worded legislation, not open to interpretation in a multitude of different ways, humanely relevant to the contingency of E.T. contact, debated and passed by Congress openly instead of slipped through "under the table" without the public being informed. According to NASA spokesman Fletcher Reel, the law as it stands is not immediately applicable, but in case of need could quickly be made applicable. What this means is that it is ambiguously worded, so that it can be interpreted either one way or the other,as the government desires. It is certainly not a coincidence that Dr. Clifford held his press conference during the period when the popularity of the film E.T. was at its peak. As E.T. portrayed a type of extraterrestrial that was benevolent and lovable, the inference is that the press conference was intended to discourage attempts to communicate or fraternize with UFO occupants. However, instead of having the intended effect, it backfired, causing public furor. There may be some relationship between this fiasco and the next semi-officially endorsed attempt to deal with the subject of extra-terrestrials, the TV film V, which was featured with repeat performances and maximum publicity by major networks worldwide. The aliens portrayed in V are the most horrifying and repulsive nightmares imaginable, who are defeated thanks largely to a CIA hit man specializing in covert operations, the tough guy with the heart of gold who with the aid of the handsome hero saves the human race. This is obvious and transparent propaganda, designed to do what the government's widespread use of dis-information, and Dr. Clifford's press conference about the absurd lemon of a law already on the books failed to do: squelch attempts to communicate or fraternize with UFO occupants. One way to avoid widespread panic at the announcement of the news that we are under surveillance by nonhuman intelligent beings with a technology far more sophisticated than our own is to point out that this situation is nothing new, but has literally been going on for millennia. If the "flying dragons" mentioned in the I Ching intended to attack and destroy us, they could easily have carried out this objective long ago. Along with this article, the text of the E.T Law will be presented. However, there are several points that I wish to make:

1211.101 Applicability.

The provisions of this part apply to all NASA manned and unmanned space missions...I could dismiss this whole controversy as a tempest in a teacup if the above passage contained the word "only", so as to read: "The provisions of this part apply only to all NASA manned and unmanned space missions..." However, it does not contain that one little word which would have made such a big difference. If the government was suddenly faced with the accomplished fact of an undeniable overt E.T. visitation, this regulation could therefore, be construed as being applicable to all space missions, NASA or non NASA, whether of terrestrial or extra-terrestrial origin. As it stands, this law is applicable to UFO contact. The meaning would have to be stretched, but the built-in loophole does exist.

1211.102 Definitions.

(b) (2): Touched directly or been in close proximity to (or been exposed indirectly to )... Even without involved in a UFO close encounter would become eligible for indefinite quarantine under armed guard according to the above. By including indirect exposure, the NASA administrator is empowered to make the definition mean just about anything he wants it to. An example of indirect exposure is given, but an example is not a definition. Unless indirect exposure is defined precisely, it can mean almost anything. The possibility is not specifically ruled out that other types of indirect exposure than the example given might be considered valid grounds to "quarantine" a citizen or group of citizens. In my opinion, it is vital that we challenge the validity of his law, for if it is allowed to stand unchallenged, UFO contactees and researchers may all meet behind barbed wire and armed guards somewhere in Alaska. I strongly urge everyone who reads the E.T. Law, Title 14, Section 1211 of the Code of Federal Regulations (at the end of this article), to clip it out, and send it on to your congressman, with a demand penciled in, to repeal this absurd and potentially lethal law. We must use reason, and transcend fear in order to make this planet a place where all may live in peace and harmony, as One.
