Alien Lore No. 107 - The French And British "X Files"
The British have joined the French in the rush to release information on aliens and UFOs. An article by James Randerson in The Guardian details how the British Ministry of Defence plans to open its "X-Files" on UFO sightings to the public for the first time. Officials haven't fixed a date for the reports' release, but it is may happen this month. The French national space agency okayed a similar release of its alien files a few months ago.
UFOlogists want to know what officials knew about Britain's most famous sightings and whether what the government did about the sightings. The Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk 1980 sighting has been called The British Roswell. At Rendlesham there were several witness reports of a UFO landing. The released files may answer the claims that radiation was found in The Rendlesham Forest at the site after the saucer crash.
The documents due for release are eyewitness reports of UFO sightings, incuding sightings by civil pilots and military personnel. Most were simply collected and filed by a small, secret unit within the defense intelligence group called DI55. A few incidents may have been investigated further by the military, but the details were never been made public. The 24 files due for release each contain 200-300 reports of sightings, along with Ministry of Defense briefings and memos and letters.
Before the files have even been released, the UFO community has lit up with various new conspiracy theories related to the release of these documents, as well as accusations of conspiracy because of the timing of the French and Brit releases. Will we learn of shocking new revelations? Unlikely. Will the UFOlogists debate, debunk, and exaggerate the release of this mother lode endlessly? Of course they will! Happy mining, folks.

White House nude intern scandal―VP Cheney may be implicated
The beleagured White House was rocked once again by scandal this afternoon, following publication of photographs of a group of semi-nude White House pages. The thirteen interns pictured volunteer at The White House, serving as runners, tour guides, and clerical aides to various White House staffers. Another photograph, not released, but in wide circulation on various internet sites, is alleged to be roughly the same pose, with Vice-President Cheney in the center, extending his hands to cover one breast on each of the women at his side.
White House spin doctors claimed the photographs were spurious, and probably Photoshop® composites. Dr. John Newton of the Digital Forensics Laboratory, Inc., however, said he had examined the photos of the Vice-President and pronounced them "the real McCoy." "As much as I dislike saying this," Dr. Newton told a reporter from All This Is That, "that is indeed Mr. Cheney, and these images have not been tampered with or digitally altered."
"It particularly pains me," Newton said, "because I voted for these guys. I don't know how far this will go, but it could make the Lewinsky scandal look like a minor indiscretion."

Alien Lore No. 106 - The 1989 UFO Battle Over Russia
One of the best known Russian UFOlogists—Nikolay Subbotin—told this story to his fellow American UFOlogists. This bizarre story took place in the skies 0ver Zaostrovka on September 16, 1989. Six metallic UFOs and one golden UFO battled it out.
Mr. Subbotin says hundreds of people witnessed a group of six silver saucers fight against one golden UFO. The UFOs engaged in a stunning show of aerial acrobatics, flying as low as one mile above the earth. Red beams, or lasers of some sort were the weapons.
A Russian UFO web site says that an account of the battle was published in the local paper, the "Semipalatinsk." The report was written by a helicopter commander named Sichenko, who claimed that the energy generated by the warring UFOs was so intense that local power stations automatically shut down.
The witnesses interviewed by Sichenko said that the golden UFO was finally defeated, after fighting a heroic battle, and crashed into a bog on the military test range. The area was then zoned off to everyone except military personnel.
Subbotin says a Russian army team searched the area following the battle and crash and that the story leaked out from these searchers.
The entire area was insanely high in radiation readings following the crash, and was eventually shut down. A crew of military personnel guarded the site. And there the story comes to an crashing halt. This is one of those plausible sounding cases, with many witnesses, where so few details have actually emerged that it is impossible to vet its veracity.

Alien Lore No. 105 - The Grey Aliens
The Grey Aliens is the title of a J. Hunter Holly 1964 British paperback. The book was published in the US as "The Gray Aliens" in 1963 by Avalon Books. This science fiction novel has an alien abduction twist. Humans are scooped up by the shadows a/k/a the grey aliens a/k/a the ghost makers.

The term "grey alien" is iconic now in alien lore, and this book was probably an early harbinger of what was to come. The Greys are huge now in the realm of alien/ufo lore, along with their associated phenomena like abductions, cattle mutilations, government conspiracies, implanted devices in humans, crop circles, and vast under-earth colonies. The Greys were not really prominent in the lore until the 80s'. The now familiar grey alien's appearance was alluded to in tales of earlier encounters of the fifties, sixties and even the seventies, but not until the 1980's did the Greys emerge as the rock stars of alien lore.

Alien Lore No. 105 - Alien stone/UFO Droppings (?) found near Seattle
A University of Washington (Seattle) aka U-dub research engineer Bill Beaty is about to test a piece of stone that was reportedly dropped from an alien spacecraft 60 years ago.
For many years, Philip Lipson and Charlette LeFevre, who run the Seattle Museum of the Mysteries, have been chasing a story that began in June 1947 when a government employee saw flying saucers only three days after a Tacoma man said UFOs had dropped metal and molten rock on his boat, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported earlier this week.
Lipson and LeFevre believe a B-52 bomber crashed 60 years ago while carrying slag from a UFO. A black chunk of rock is their best clue, and Beaty will test the rock this week.
"You can tell it's been liquid because it's all full of bubbles," said Beaty. "We have to look at the bedrock in the hill and see what's there. If it looks like that, then it's probably the same."
"If this is totally different than the bedrock that's there, then this will be very interesting," he added.
A B-25 bomber exploded and crashed twenty minutes after take off from McChord Field. The Bomber crashed near Kelso, Washington (one of the "tri-cities") after the left engine caught on fire.
A local newspaper article gave details about what happened aboard the plane. "Woodrow D. Matthews, crew chief of the bomber reported helping Davidson and Brown into their parachutes and that at the time he jumped, flames from the blazing left engine were pouring into the cockpit. It was reported that Brown was standing in the aisle ready to leave the plane ³ when Matthews himself jumped out. Brown was found at the crash site with his parachute harness on but had apparently returned to the cockpit. His body was found in the wreckage. Matthews related that the only reason he could see that the officers did not get out was that the left wing might have crumpled, trapping them in the plane. Woodrow D. Matthews, crew chief of the bomber who put the parachute on Sgt. Taff and saved his life was proposed for the Soldier's Medal. An FBI report states the left wing was found 125 yards from the plane impact site and likely fell off throwing the plane into a plummeting spin."
Kenneth Arnold received another call from Ted Morello who told him the B-25 bomber from Hamilton Field had been shot down by a 20mm cannon. The Tacoma Times headlines read
Sabotage Hinted in Crash of Army Bomber at Kelso
—Plane May Hold Flying Disk Secret—
The article by Paul Lance said the plane had been sabotaged or shot down to prevent shipment of flying disk fragments to Hamilton Field, California, for analysis. The disk parts were said by the informant to be those from one of the mysterious platters which plunged to earth on the Maury Island (see Alien Lore No. 104) recently. At McChord field, an intelligence officer confirmed the informants report that the B-25 Bomber had been carrying classified material.
In the Seattle Post Intelligencer August 3, 1947, an AP report states "Pieces not Located." Brig. Gen. Ned Schramm, chief of staff of the 4th Air Force said he knew nothing about reports that the plane was carrying classified or secret material. "As far as I know, the plane was supposed to come in here empty," he said, "and there wasn't a single, solitary, secret thing aboard".

Those Actually Were UFOs Over Phoenix in 1997 Says Former Governor Symington
Former Gov. Fife Symington says now that those strange lights that appeared over Phoenix a decade ago were from another world and he admitted having a close encounter with an alien craft on March 13, 1997. At the time, however, he publicly mocked the very idea at a press conference. The Arizona Daily Star has an interesting article about his new revelations.
Symington, who was in his second term as governor of Arizona during the Phoenix Lights incident, recently told a UFO investigator making a documentary that he had kept quiet about his personal close encounter because he didn't want to panic the populace.
Symington repeated his story Thursday on CNN, saying the craft he saw was "enormous. It just felt other-worldly. In your gut, you could just tell it was other-worldly."
