From Peter; - I hope you all enjoyed my Review of W.A. Harbinson's book in my
last News Bulletin No 133. It has certainly made me look at sightings in a
broader manner. Then Brien Vike in Canada sends me the following piece of
information.
It makes you 'wonder' don't it! What is really going on out/up there?
I think Harbinson it right in most of what he says in his book but there are
still 5 - 10% that has not been explained to us. It is this 10% that I and, I
am sure you are interested in.
Please send you comments.
I read the MMSSTV Digest Bulletin and that group certainly swap information
around, ask questions, and give logical and constructive answers.
I would like it if you could do the same in our Interest Group. Please send me
your or your friend's experiences or just your thoughts on the subject even if
they are negative, as we all have different theories about UFO's and the
Paranormal.
If paranormal stories come in I will also print them.
Confidentiality Clause: If any person does not wish to have his or her name or
Callsign published I will certainly
Not publish it. I would like to know the country of origin but name &/or Call
can be suppressed.
Thanks fellow Hams and keep the good times rolling.

HBCC UFO Research Note: Lt. Col. Roy Jack Edward's son told me he fought tooth
and nail one would say to have his father buried with military honours. He
contacted so many ranking officers and politicians throughout the
military/government in hopes of having his wishes carried out, which over time
they finally were granted and his Dad was put to rest with military honours.
One had to wonder why this wasn't carried out straight away, with no hassles
for the family who fought to have these rights in place for their Father who
served with courage and honour on and off the battlefield. Was it due to a UFO
experience, which almost ruined Lt. Col. Roy Jack Edwards career.
In the military records I have here for Lt. Col. Roy Jack Edwards, it states
in bold capital letters that Lt. Col. Roy Jack Edwards served his country
"Honourable" But what there is no mention of in these military records is an
amazing UFO encounter Lt. Col. Roy Jack Edwards had back in 1955 while holding
a position of a test pilot at Edwards AFB. I also will add, Lt. Col. Roy Jack
Edwards almost lost his life during his encounter with the UFO, loss of
vision, everything went fuzzy, so his body reacted to whatever the
Unidentified Flying Object was giving off and also losing control of the jet
aircraft for a while as it suddenly had mechanical problems, again due to the
UFO he came face to face while in flight.
Now here is what Lt. Col. Roy Jack Edward's son and I find really unusual and
or the cover up starts, the powers to be who ever these people are, having Lt.
Col. Roy Jack Edwards stationed in Gifu, Japan at the time of his UFO
encounter. This is listed on Lt. Col. Roy Jack Edward's military records,
according to his son who I spoke at length with on Friday 25, 2008 by way of
telephone, Jack Edward's son says his Father was not stationed at Gifu, Japan,
but rather at the Edwards AFB where he was test flying the Super Sabre jet
fighters at the time of the UFO incident. His son can remember this so
clearly, plus as his son mentioned, we would have known if we were in Japan.
(Different country) They weren't! So this appears to be a complete cover-up by
the military to hide any possible leakage of Lt. Col. Roy Jack Edward's UFO
sighting.
The report on Lt. Col. Roy Jack Edwards UFO Experience.
Full Description of event/sighting: Subject: My father, a Super Sabre test
pilot at Edwards AFB chased an Orange Cigar shaped UFO.
In 1955 my deceased (3 years ago) father Lt. Col. Roy Jack Edwards USMC (Ret.
USNA Class of '47 - same as Pres. Jimmy Carter) revealed an experience he had
as a young test pilot to me just 2 years before he died. He claimed the reason
he never shared his UFO chase encounter was the deep fear the military had
threatened him, during debriefing upon returning to base, for disobeying
direct orders he would lose all his military benefits along with a less than
honourable discharge.
Let me explain the whole set of circumstances involving his chasing the
stationary "Orange Cigar" shaped UFO at an altitude of approx. 6K'. He was
stationed at Edwards AFB for a 2-year stint to conduct final testing of the
new version Super Sabre fighters and other experimental. At this time I was
only 6 years old.
During a test flight in clear sky conditions when my father initially
contacted ground control he sighted a definite large UFO. He was firmly
"ordered" to "break away immediately and return to base" with his chase
(observation) plane. His observation plane complied. However, my fearless USMC
trained mindset father told me that his raw intrepid instincts kicked in,
thus, ignored ground control because he knew he probably wouldn't ever get
another opportunity to confront a UFO and pursued.
So, he made a linear flight towards this stationary positioned cigar shaped
orange glowing object and described w/o any surface area indicative as having
any source of propulsion which he estimated to be about 2 football fields in
length and slightly more than 50 yards in circumference. As he reached a range
of about 3-4 miles from the UFO it emitted a single burst of blue light
rendering my father to instantly lose his ability to see and disabled his
plane's communications equipment. Striped of his sense of vision and
communication to ground control he was in a very precarious position to say
the least. But he managed to bank his craft to a soft right direction and kept
his altitude from dropping by keeping his stick from going forward. He said he
considered bailing out but wanted to ride out some time (knowing he had enough
fuel) in hope the shock of what ever incurred to him and his plane would be
temporary.
To his recall, his sight returned in slow blurry stages until he regained full
sight acuity in a time frame of about 10-15 minutes. Now capable to see his
instruments, horizon and most important recognizing familiar terrain landmarks
he tracked his return to Edwards' airfield still w/o communications. Although
my dad was relieved to have survived this unique dangerous experience during
his stern debriefing by his CO for disobeying direct orders, he learned 2
unpleasant things. The reason he was ordered to return to base ASAP, he was
informed by his CO that the same UFO had caused the deaths of 3 prior test
pilots. Back in those days the subject of UFO sightings or encounters were a
silent taboo especially among test pilots for fear of losing their hard earned
test pilot flight status. If my father had known of this critical information
prior to his UFO encounter, he claimed he wouldn't have pursued the UFO and
would've obeyed ground control orders.
As a reprimand for disobeying direct orders he permanently lost his status as
a test pilot and reassigned to a USNA weapons department teaching position at
Annapolis, Md. Additionally, he wasn't allowed to ever fly turbines (jets) in
the future. Eventually, after a few years at the pentagon in Wash. D.C. he
petitioned and was permitted to fly choppers (CH 46).
PS - I have my father's Military DD214 Discharge records as verification
reference. (HBCC UFO Research is in possession of the documents as they were
faxed to me on Friday, January 25, 2008).
HBCC UFO Research Note: A Military cover-up, which seems to be nothing new
from all the servicemen I have spoken with. From being threatened with loss of
pensions, their lives, you name it. These are the stories military personal
relate to me. The story above which was related to me by the son of Lt. Col.
Roy Jack Edwards is another indication what the military/government will go
to, to suppress any information about a UFO sightings brought out into the
public domain.
