The appearance of similarity between the Ohio and Arizona videos are
striking, both in appearance (as depicted on the videos) and through witness
description in their testimonies (even down to the massive triangular ship=
 at
treetop level).  The presence of military jets in the area complicate the
matter, and could be said that they are either 'discharging the flares' or
'pursuing the unknowns.' In the Ohio case, several witnesses, to their=
 credit,
observed and acknowledged that the objects were 'coming from the planes.'=
 For
details about the Ohio research, a section of the web-site listed below
contains information on this. There are a number of reports that complicate=
 a
broad 'flare explanation' for all of this, but I think that SOME of the
activity is explainable as such. I have speculated that this could be a
military disinformation project which takes place during a UFO-related=
 event.
The recent event in Zanesville doesn't correspond with the time and=
 localities
of permissible flare exercises, which makes this report all the more
interesting. Sincerely, Kenny Young,UFO Research http://home.fuse.net/task/

On Saturday, January 24, 1998, at 3:20 p.m., D.B. Michael was at his home in
Leander, Texas (population 3,398) when he received a phone call from his
brother, Dave, asking him to hurry outside, "You've got to see this!" =
 Leander
is on Highway 183 about 23 miles north of Austin, the state capital.  "He=
 and
(D.B.'s son) Daniel were in their backyard, which joins mine."  Hurrying
outside, D.B. "observed the object moving in a northerly direction,"
describing the UFO as "a cylinder object that was positioned upright, not
oblong."  The men shot several photos of the UFO with their two 35mm cameras
while "the object stayed vertical without any rotation."  "We followed it on
U.S. Highway 183 heading off at (county highway) 2243 East.  We then=
 traveled
on 2243 East and pulled off the road.  It passed over us...We then commenced
east again intending to go to Interstate Highway 35 and intercept it again."
Just then, "a dark helicopter was observed flying for the south at an=
 altitude
of about 500 feet," he added, "Reaching I-35, we looked about but found
nothing.  We traveled west on Highway 29.  We observed three jet aircraft=
 that
appeared to be in V formation...in a flight that that would have intercepted
the object if it had continued in the direction of travel last seen by us."

MICHIGAN
On Thursday evening, February 5, 1998, around 7:45 p.m. EST, a black=
 triangle
aircraft was spotted west of Howell, Michigan heading west and paralleling
Mason Road at an elevation of 55 to 60 degrees. The observer,  a high school
senior driving in his car at the time, noted that the craft  had three=
 round,
white, non-blinking lights at the three points of the  triangle. He pulled=
 his
car to the side of the road to get a better view,  shut off the engine and
told me that the object was the size of a quarter  held at arm's length. No
detectable noise was heard coming from the craft.  Had it been a=
 conventional
aircraft at that distance, it would have been  easily identified due to the
noise of its engines. He further stated that,  although he made a point of
looking for them, no navigational strobes--red,  green or white--were=
 visible
at any time. He estimated the speed of the  craft to be 60 miles per hour,=
 the
same speed as his car. It was in sight  for over a minute. He also told me
that at no time did his car malfunction. He was unable to estimate its
altitude, however, since nothing presented itself for comparison. Weather
conditions at the time were partially overcast, but the moon was visible. No
missing time was reported. The credibility of the witness is high. Thanks to

On January 24th, around 3:30 AM,  Sergio Rojas,  with other four friends=
 went
to the "Tranque Alfalfal" located in "El Cajon del Maipo" a UFO Hot spot, 40
minutes from Santiago.  On the way up to the El Alfafal Dam they saw two=
 balls
of light pass over them at very high speed. A few minutes later they saw a
third UFO traveling at a much slower speed. From a cliff near the dam they
could see a cigar or egg shaped UFO  coming up the river 100 meters below.=
 It
was bright white color and 18 metes 1ong. The light did not reflect on the
nearby rocks. The UFO was flying very fast and near the water. They heard a
very high pitch tone that clogged their ears.  They also felt what they
described as a "strange wind" that was cold and hot at the same time. The
sighting lasted  only 5 to 6 seconds. After this they decided to return=
 home.
On their way down to "San Jose de Maipo" they encountered another UFO that=
 was
floating about 800 meters above them.  They stopped their car and got out.=
 The
UFO looked like the moon, but slightly smaller and it was white colored.=
 After
5 minutes the UFO faded away like a cloud, but it never moved from it's
position. =20
In early February in the fishing town of "Iloca" (3 hours north of Santiago)
most of the people in the town including the local police witnessed a very
large cylinder shaped UFO. It was hovering over the ocean. It was so big=
 that
the police had to calm down the population, who were also scared.  Thanks=

LIFE ON MARS:
Mars has fascinated mankind for centuries, and it is my belief that NASA is
attempting to obtain startling evidence for life on Mars. Our sister planet
created headlines in 1877, when Schiaparelli announced his discovery that a
network of straight lines covered the surface of Mars.  Percival Lowell felt
these lines were canals that represented the work of intelligent beings.
NASA's Global Surveyor satellite now in orbit around Mars on February 2,=
 1998,
proved for first time that there was once a flowing river meandering across
the planet. It's not known when the river went dry, but the dry bed is an
unmistakable river. A second photo also revealed evidence of horizontal=
 layers
on the surface of Mars, that indicates  Mars has something similar to the
Grand Canyon in Arizona.  The Surveyor also proved the existence of a=
 magnetic
field on Mars that is essential for the development and continued existence=
 of
life on Mars. The field shields a planet from fast-moving, electrically
charged particles and cosmic rays from the Sun.
Although, our two most recent probes appear successful, we should remember=
 the
previous three probes of Mars ended in failure. Previously our own Mars
Observer and two Russian Phobos missions mysteriously stopped transmitting
when nearing the planet. The Russian Phobos II mission actually took up=
 orbit
around the planet in September of 1989, and allegedly took startling  infra-
red photography just prior to its ceasing transmissions.  Soviet Cosmonaut
insiders claim that the infra-red photos showed an aerial view of an ancient
city the size of Los Angeles with a geometry of streets and cross roads.  =
 The
cultural features were  4 kilometers wide and 60 kilometers long.  Infra-red
film indicates the city was still emitting some heat.  These alleged
photographs have never been released to the public. The Soviet Spacecraft=
 then
transmitted photos of a strange immense oval shadow just prior to its=
 suddenly
