COLORADO
A bicyclist pulled into my place in the Rocky Mountains a while back to 
eport
an aerial object, and I thought I'd pass it along just to see if you have 
ver
heard of any others like it.  I never have.  She described it as "an airplane
with two tails."  She said that it looked like someone had taken the back 
alf
of a private plane, and joined it to the back half of another plane, so that
what was left was a fuselage with a tail on each end.  But only the vertical
part of the tails; the horizontal stabilizers were missing.  She described it
as floating slowly along in the air at 500 feet. Thanks to: Bob Thrift-

DUBLIN, IRELAND
David Martin reports that on April 2, `1998: "I was walking in a area called
Blanchardstown  in Dublin going into the Bell Pub, when I saw a red object
flash across the sky at about 5.00 PM. It stopped and hovered over my head. 
t
seemed circular in shape. It flew off to the east  in the direction of 
aheny.
Dave's address is: 111 Raheny Road,  Dublin 17,  Dublin  Ireland    Thanks to

"THE CONTACT HAS BEGUN"
Phillip H. Krapf, The Metro  Desk editor of the Los Angeles Times (ret.), has
written a new book called "The Contact Has Begun."  Krapf claims to have been
contacted by visiting aliens who told him to write this book in June of 1997.
Most journalists are skeptical of stories about UFOs and visitors from space.
This book is important because a key member of the news industry is putting
his reputation on the line telling others we are being visited. Essentially a
peaceful race of extraterrestrials is making contact with Earth's leaders 
rom
an Intergalactic Federation. The editor of the Los Angeles Times is a
skeptical journalist, who with his won acclaim for his coverage of the Los
Angeles riots. He claims to have been taken aboard a craft from another 
orld.
Krapf's claims he was instructed to help other humans accept we are not 
lone.
Now is the time for us to prepare to enter the Intergalactic Federation of
Sovereign Planets. Important people from all over the world are being
contacted by the extraterrestrials to serve as ambassadors to the human race.
The aliens claim to carry no weapons and are peaceful, promise a new 
onderful
world and call themselves, Verdants. Their planet is 14 million light-years
from Earth and is more than twice the size of Earth. They assured him that 
he
universe is teaming with life and there are hundreds of thousands of 
nhabited
planets. Dan Smith interviewed Phillip Krapf in California and found him to 
e
a warm, intelligent person with no apparent mental problems. He certainly
believed his story and assured us that other important people will be 
peaking
out in the coming years concerning their contact. He claims that he 
ecognized
many important people aboard the space ship who were also undergoing
edification and indoctrination. All have been given a mission to meet with
Earth's leaders and to prepare them for the future summit and contact.  A new
city will be constructed by the extraterrestrials overnight and called,
"Genesis."  Key leaders from all backgrounds will go to Genesis and be 
rained
to participate in the confederation. The essential message is that they come
in peace, they have discovered the light and they will shine it on our path.
Humanity is on the threshold of rebirth. They will be our shepherd and watch
over us like lambs. The first announcements will come in 2002. The book is
from Hay House Publishers and local stores. Note: This is pretty wild stuff
even for an UFO investigator.
ROMAN CATHOLIC CLERGY
There are a series of recent reports claiming Monsignor Corodio Bolducci,
close to the Pope has proclaimed that extraterrestrial contact is a real
phenomenon. Our contacts in Italy assure us this interpretation of the
Monsignor’s statements is in error and that he does not speak for the 
atican.
However, Whitley Strieber  interviewed Monsignor Corrado Balducci, and
confirmed he is an important Vatican advisor. Whitley states: "Monsignor
Balducci has given me an interview that is going to be published in my new
book Confirmation, and in it he makes statements about the need to stop
fooling ourselves that the contact situation is psychological, and he makes
the point that it is dangerous for Christians to ignore the testimony of
millions if they are to accept the testimony of just a few as the basis of
doctrine. He also discusses his contention that the visitors are not demons,
and mentions that the subject matter is of special interest to the Church and
the Christian community.  Msgr. Balducci told me personally when I asked him
about his relationship to the pope, that he knows the pope and is friendly
with him. When I asked him if the pope was aware of his views on UFOs, he 
aid
that they had not discussed the matter per se, but had talked together about
issues of demonology. Msgr. Balducci as an expert on demonology and has
published on the subject and has been the exorcist for the Archdiocese of
Rome. It is because of his expertise in this field that there is reason for
Christians to regard his views on the question of whether or not the visitors
are demons as an authoritative one.  In the interview I have, he did not
mention anything about Papal nuncios reporting information to the Vatican on 

formal basis, or the existence of a commission to deal with the issue.  He 
as
personally read and agreed to every detail of the translation, and it is
completely accurate. It will be published as an appendix to Confirmation,
which should be in the stores by April 15.  In the interest of accuracy, I
would very much appreciate your re-posting of this letter to the same list
that has received the previous two posts.  Sincerely yours,  Whitley Strieber

SHAG HARBOR: It is known that the Roman Catholic Church has an excellent
intelligence system and is well aware that many UFOs are being observed 
round
the world by its members and priests. Canadian MUFON reports that the role
played by Roman Catholic Father Michael Burke-Geffen in the Shag Harbor UFO
crash is interesting. On the night of  October 4, 1967, shortly after 11:00
PM, a UFO some 60 feet in diameter was seen to disappear into water near the
tiny fishing village of Shag Harbor, Nova Scotia. The UFO displayed four
bright lights that flashed in sequence.  This case was largely unknown before
MUFON's Assistant Director for Nova Scotia Christopher Styles' began working
on the case. His work was phenomenal. He discovered that Father Geffen, now
deceased had two lives, one as a Jesuit priest and cornerstone at St. Mary's
University in Halifax. In addition, he was an astronomer and held a position
with Canada's NRC as a UFO  investigator and government contact person.
Requests from Ottawa can be  found in Canada's RG 77 file calling for the
priest to gather physical  samples from UFO trace cases and Close Encounters
to send to NRC  Headquarters for detailed analysis. Father Geffen claimed to
have no interest in UFOs, but was in fact collecting intelligence on them.
Genuine Royal Canadian Mounted Police  X-files, were  found among his 
ersonal
papers. Two of those X-files are replies to Father Geffen from the
superintendent of the Nova Scotia RCMP, assuring the father that he  would
receive UFO reports from southwest Nova Scotia as quickly as was  reasonably
possible. In fact, personal notes in archives from this  period of October
1967 show that he took notes on the details of UFO  sightings given to him
over the telephone, even before they could be  mailed or telexed. Time seemed
to be an important concern for this scientist priest. The Story! Perhaps the
most exciting element of Styles' and Don Ledger's investigation  is the story
of an attempted recovery operation 25 miles up the Nova Scotia coast from the
impact site. Thanks to Canadian MUFON web at:

UNITED KINGDOM AND GEORGIA FLYING TRIANGLES
Almost nightly reports of giant flying triangles continue over the
southeastern coast of England. The reports intimate a craft operating at only
40 to 60 mph. Since most aircraft stall out of the sky below 100 mph, it
infers the witnesses may be viewing a lighter  than air type craft, something
like the Aereon Pumpkinseed design. It would be reasonable to have an 
irborne
Warning and Control (AWACs) type craft patrolling the coast at night carrying
a large phased array radar system.  However, it seems logical that someone
would see a large craft lifting off unless it is stationed on some remote
island or guarded peninsula. There could  be a secret base some where near 
he
North Sea such as on the  Frisian or Sheppey Islands within range of these
sightings? This craft could probably operate without much of a runway. We 
now
the flying triangles are usually first sighted off the eastern coast of
England coming in from the North Sea. If the craft flies as slow as is
