daytime it  appears white. There is also the distinct possibility
that the actual UFO is smaller and only has a large "halo" around
it when "energized."  Most likely it is not picked up on radar
due to the computer elimination of high speed targets. The UFO
picks areas to operate where radar coverage and the population
are sparse. It loiters only at night and uses terrain such as
ridges, valleys and hills for concealment purposes to mask its
profile from ground view. Observers above the UFO claim it
appears completely dark, when looking down upon it.  Thanks to

Ted Phillips an expert in UFO trace cases writes. "I worked very
closely with Allen Hynek from 1967, until his death.  At his
suggestion, I began specializing in Physical Traces associated
with UFO landings in 1969.  I was the original investigator of
the Delphos, Kansas event and hundreds of other cases.  I have
started to re-investigate this case to try and extract additional
data on the observation and traces.  I'm looking for any piece of
info anyone might have such as news clippings, photos, articles,
etc., relating to the event.  If you could suggest any contact, I
would greatly appreciate it.  I remember a MUFON person (I think
Larry Moyers) who went there and later gave me photos and a
interview with witnesses. Do you know if he is still living?
Please contact Ted Phillips theo2042@gte.net if you have
information. I sent his request to MUFON Headquarters but perhaps
our readers can help.

Clint Stone Kentucky MUFON reports that the flap in
Henderson/Evansville/Owensboro area proves to be long from over.
I have been observing the sky up here in Henderson for the most
of the evening on April 6.
Once again between 8 to 8:30 PM, I observed an UFO that had a
combo of a white light, and a flashing red one. It was coming
from the south with a light in the middle and two more white ones
on the right side.   It was heading northwest when it suddenly
changed course to due east.  It was almost as if it made a right
angle turn to fly over my head.  The lights on the craft were
very unusual as they had erratic random motions that included
chasing each other like Christmas lights. The combo of lights was
followed by a very faint bluish white light that was only flashed
every 10 seconds.  The white/red light soon sped out in front of
the bluish white light as it faded off in the distance.  Soon
after, a total of three lights was seen heading in the same
direction. All had no sound. Thanks to:  Clint Stone - Webmaster,

Michael Petrick, 18, saw three lights in the distance on April 5,
1998, near Channahon some 40 miles southwest of Chicago.  Michael
says, "I spotted the lights that circled and moved while I was
driving down a rural road at 11:35 PM. The lights in the shape of
an equilateral triangle had lights at the corners.  They were
expanding outward as to give the impression, that whatever they
were connected to was getting closer.  The lights stopped moving
and sat still in the sky.  I noticed no other lights in the sky.
I slowed to get a closer look before the next set of trees.  I
then saw the lights 'spin' clockwise and the one light that I had
viewed began to move as if the front of an object.  The UFO was
sighted for 2 to 3 minutes before it rotated, hovered, changed
color and moved away. Thanks to BUFORA and Bruce Cornet.
SARAH MC CLENDON, THE GRAND OLD WHITEHOUSE CORRESPONDENT
March 30, 1998. News release from the McClendon News Service by
Sarah McClendon Washington, D.C. -- Unidentified Flying Objects,
a term given for many years to unexplained sightings of craft in
the skies over every state in the Union, are actual visitors from
other worlds, believe a community of scientists and technicians
employed by government.   The real danger to the U.
S. and perhaps this whole planet is the government has placed
such a heavy blanket of secrecy upon this issue. So much secrecy,
those in government who have knowledge showing UFOs are
identifiable feel the subject cannot be discussed by those in the
know without serious repercussions. Others are afraid their
friends and co-workers will think they are crazy if they even so
much as insinuate that UFOs are identifiable as manned craft from
outside the earth. This particularly applies to newspaper editors
and publishers, reporters and analysts. Thus the U. S. is denying
itself the chance to learn more about UFOs or to encourage
research despite the fact the U.S. stands to gain from such
discussions.   Not publicized but true is that the Clinton
administration, soon after coming to office, had many briefings
on the subject. Laurence Rockefeller provided the information for
the President and Mrs. Clinton. Others provided documents and
verbal briefings to presidential advisors Jack Gibbons (science),
Bruce Lindsay (personal), Anthony Lake (national security) and
Vice President Albert Gore. About the same time a three hour
briefing was given by Dr. Steven Greer to the sitting Director of
the CIA, Admiral Woolsey.   Subsequently, Clinton instructed
Webster Hubbell, when naming him to the position of Associate
Attorney General at the Justice Department, that he wanted him to
investigate and report back to him on two things, circumstances
surrounding the death of President John F. Kennedy, and the
existence of UFOs. Hubbell, despite his position and the
presidential imprimatur, was boxed in at Justice Department and
never was able to find out.
All of this was disclosed in Hubbell's memoir Friends in High
Places.   Now the lid on UFOs is gradually coming off. There is a
national drive underway to get one million signatures on a
petition calling for an open Congressional hearing for government
employee witnesses. Another who feels that positive proof exists
within government, is Lt. Col. Philip J. Corso (retired), who
reveals in a recent book, The Day After Roswell, that he was in
charge of the Roswell files during his tenure as head of the
Army's Foreign Technology Division. He states unequivocally that
these files confirm the crash which occurred at Roswell, New
Mexico was an alien space craft. This completely refutes the Air
Force denials and subsequent explanations. Corso says that the
crashed vehicle was studied and proved to be manufactured of
materials unknown as to source and usage in this country. In
time, he says, this and other UFOs provided technologies which
were "worked into the commercial world via front companies."
Incidentally he vouches for the fact that this has proven to be a
valuable contribution to U.S. aircraft design and other
commercial products.
Corso and hundreds of others who work or have worked in secret
defense and scientific agencies, are willing to swear under oath
that alien craft are repeatedly penetrating our airspace.
Whenever the military agencies are asked to look into this matter
further, the answer is always the same - "We do not investigate
UFOs."   Contact:   McClendon News Service at:

IRAN
The UFO World Website reports that the DSP-1 Satellite has
confirmed that a UFO chased an Iranian F-4 jet on September 18,
1976. The DSP Connection is an impressive breakthrough in the
confirmation of the Iranian UFO  encounter.
This evidence was uncovered by researchers Lee Graham and Ron
Regehr, of Aero-Jet in California. They confirmed that the UFO
sighting over Tehran  was, in fact, tracked by the United States
military's DSP satellite. The primary responsibility of the
DSP-1 satellite is to detect the launch of ballistic missiles.
This deep-space platform detects infrared heat through sensors,
that are  mounted on the body of the satellite. Anything that
emits infrared heat is detected by this apparatus. It can
determine different types of  aircraft simply by comparing the
"signature" of the infrared signals  displayed by an object
against an intensely complete database of all  known aircraft.
