MARS VEGETATION LOOKS LIKE CACTUS PLANTS

Larry Hatch sent me a photo of Mars from a government website. He writes,
"From what looks (to me) like the upper ridges of sand dunes, and almost
exclusively there, rise vertical formations that one fellow suggested was
cactus. I doubt that, but I'm at a loss to find a more likely explanation.
A few of them look like pine trees (which I also doubt), some look like
they fell sideways, still others look like clumps of sagebrush.  If there
is a geological explanation, I would like to know why the formations are
not larger and more numerous on the sand dunes.  The web page offers no
text explanation.  I have been unable to find anything relevant at the
Malin MSSS website.  Thanks to Larry Hatch, larry@larryhatch.net Photo is

We're moving closer to Mars each day for the closest approach in decades,
and 2003 is the best year to visit Mars in the next two decades.  Earth and
Mars are around 93 million miles apart on the same side of the Sun.  We're
at the nearest approach for complex orbital paths needed for successful
landings. Three landing missions are planned to takeoff in June for Mars. A
European and two American probes have different mission profiles, but all
will attempt to find water and possibly life in Mars' ancient past. Filer's
Files has reported water and possible life on Mars since 1997.  The
European Beagle 2 will land on the arid plain of Issidis, about 10 degrees
north of the equator. It is a site chosen to be warm enough for Beagle to
work and low enough for Beagle's parachutes to allow a safe landing. The
two US rovers, will touch down near the equator, halfway around the planet
from each other. This spectacular focus on the red planet should begin in
the next five weeks, culminating after a six month journey in the rovers'
expected January 2004 traffic jam.  Expect amazing announcements.

ALIEN VIEW OF EARTH AND THE MOON

A new picture from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) spacecraft, currently
orbiting Mars, shows the first-ever image of its kind not only shows Mother
Earth as a tiny alien world in the vast darkness of space, but also
includes Earth's moon. The camera aboard Mars Global Surveyor photographed
Earth and Jupiter in an alignment, as seen in the evening sky of Mars, at 9
a.m. EDT, May 8, 2003.  South America is the white area to the right with
North America above it.

NEW YORK - GRAYISH DISK SHAPED OBJECT

EAST MEADOW -- Two friends were walking outside on April 25, 2003, at 8:10
PM when they looked up at the sky and saw a grayish disked shaped flying
object.  The witness says, "I told my friend to look up and then we both
watched it for about ten seconds than it instantly disappeared." Thanks to

GEORGIA MUFON INVESTIGATION OF LIGHTS

Tom Sheets State Director reports, "Our investigator's have undertaken the
joint NUFORC/MUFONGA inquiry in Meriwether County.  The witness interviews
went well, and Jim and Olivia appeared with Peter Davenport on the national
Rense Program.  The Gwinnett Daily Post featured an article regarding this
investigation of strange fragmented lights.  The below link will carry you
to the on-line GDP edition and the article.  It turned out pretty nice, as
have most of the past GDP stories about our group.  While the AJC and Fox-5
News have also done OK with MUFONGA, give me the GDP!!  Kudos to Staff
Writer Laura Ingram...she certainly writes with class!  I spoke with the
Sheriff of Meriwether County a few days ago.  He is not familiar with any
other citizens that have reported such events in the county.  The Sheriff
stated that he would check some other sources and advise me if anything
turned up. This case is mostly completed, but some minor "mop up" chores
remain and will be completed shortly.  "UFO Magazine" recently ran an
article concerning the former highly confidential NIDS project on the
"Gorman Ranch" in NE Utah, where certain events described therein, have
also been reported in Georgia.  These are things other than the routine UFO
report.  One of the NIDS physicists that worked on this secretive project
was ALL EARS about a year ago when I posted the info about the S. Fulton
area police officer that encountered the floating rectangle of light in his
darkened bedroom (the rectangle that later fragmented into thousands of
tiny pieces before vanishing).  This ranch has been called a possible
"portal" area by the scientists involved.  Best and Semper Fi!  Tom Sheets,

KENTUCKY - UFO SIGHTING OVER OHIO RIVER

ASHLAND - On Thursday, May 1, 2003, the witness was looking out his 5th
floor room in the Ashland Plaza Hotel at a developing lightning storm to
his right and saw a UFO about 3:30 PM.  He states, "I noticed an object
about the size of a small car floating in the air over the river - I'm not
sure of the altitude, but it was a little less than twice as high as the
bridge." It was moving to the left, in the direction of the wind, as I
could tell from the flag in front of the courthouse across the street.
Although the wind was stiff, the object moved slowly in a controlled and
deliberate manner, without the vagrant, flapping, unstable motion of, say,
a plastic bag. Apparently, it made no sound. It was black and roughly
triangular in shape. It was either changing shape in motion or rolling
somehow. I thought it was a kite or a paraglider someone was flying off the
back of a boat, as it was following the course of the river. That theory
was shattered when it continued over the bridge. Shortly afterwards, it
deviated away from the river, and me, and dwindled away to an invisible
speck in the distance. It was an UFO at least as far as I'm concerned, if
only for the simple fact that I couldn't identify it during the ten minutes
I observed. Thanks to Peter Davenport

WISCONSIN -THREE FLYING SPAGHETTIOS

WINNEBAGO, OSHKOSH COUNTY -- UFO Wisconsin Reports by Lee B.  Two recent
sightings to report: May 15, 2003. My dad and I were out in his backyard
with a telescope and a digital camera, watching the lunar eclipse. At some
point that night, while I was star hopping with my binoculars to locate a
Messier object, I saw 3 very distant shapes move across my field of view. I
instantly started following it/them through the binoculars. They were so
faint I knew I wouldn't be able to find them again if I looked away for
even a second. My girlfriend was right next to me and I told her what I was
seeing, and she said she could barely see something moving up there in the
same direction. The objects appeared to me as 3 orange/red shapes, the
light appearing in a ring about the object, not as a solid sphere of light.
They moved steadily east, and eventually disappeared in the trees. At first
glance, I was just intrigued. And I didn't think of them being odd until I
saw how they moved independently! It wasn't one fixed set of lights; all 3
seemed to bob towards and away from the other while they continued on their
path.

On May 20th, I was setting up my telescope; an airplane flew over my head
low in the sky, heading south. Then 3 lights appeared again in the sky
almost exactly at the same position I noticed them last week, except this
time they were dramatically bigger. All I could do was poke my dad and
point to them, and he was absolutely astonished. They were very large this
time, 3 very distinct orange/red rings, like 3 Spaghettios that again were
heading east over Lake Winnebago, seeming to sway and swarm about each
other slightly. My dad has been an astronomer, and an aviation enthusiast
since he was a teen, and he had no explanation for what he saw, at least no
earthly one.  After doing some research today on the web, I hadn't found
anything that really resembled what I saw until I saw this site. The video
clip by Jim Jordan from 7-20-02 (View video at:
http://www.ufowisconsin.com/video_gallery/v2002_0720_ufodaze.html, near
bottom of the page), shows perfectly at one point how 3 of the lights moved
about each other in the same relationship that I saw. Thanks to

ILLINOIS - STRANGE CREATURES

My sister and her friends described what they saw to me on May 2, 2003,
party out at her house out in the country at 3:30 AM.  There were almost
twenty kids there. They had set a fire in between the house and an adjacent
field. The party wound down at around 2:45 in the morning. My sister who is
17, and her two friends started to clean up. They were unloading some
chairs when my sister saw a figure standing a little off the driveway by
the house. She motioned her friend to look; they were a little scared so
they jumped into the van. Once in the van, they looked back up towards the
house, and the figure was gone. My sister described it as appearing to look
like maybe it was a man, and it had lighter colored, or white clothing on.
Once the van was started, they all convinced each other, that the figure or
person was probably E's dad just checking up on them. They then headed back
down towards the fire to resume cleaning. About 3:20 AM, they headed up the
driveway and into the grass, and down the hill towards the fire, which was
still burning. The van's bright lights lit up "frozen things." There were
strange figures or creatures or something in two separate rows. She says
maybe fifteen in each row, and thirty in all. She said, "They were three
feet to four feet tall." They were directly in front of the car about
fifteen feet away from them. She describes them as having a Christmas light
head, and that the heads were connected to the body but she couldn't see
how. She says their arms were up, but she couldn't see hands. She says they
were stick like. Stick people she says, dark gray or brown in color. They
didn't move. Not at all she says. She says they were just frozen in these
two separate rows. My sister immediately began to cry, and then both girls
screamed for E to get the car moving. She peeled out and they headed to
town. The girls drove around for two hours until they finally got enough
courage to go back as the sun came up. She hasn't been able to sleep, or
eat, and when she told us what happened she could barley finish the story
because she was fighting back tears. To say that she was shaken up is an
understatement.  Thanks to Peter Davenport

OKLAHOMA - HOVERING RECTANGLE WITH SEARCHLIGHT

ADA - The witness claims, "I did not believe in aliens, until now, when my
best friend and I drove along a well-traveled highway on May 7, 2003, I saw
a search light out of the corner of my eye at 9:05 PM."  At first, I
figured it was an airplane because it was moving through the sky and it was
low, and might be landing at the airport.  I really didn't pay that much
attention until my best friend asked me what it was?  I looked again and
the object had come to a complete stop and had a searchlight of some sort.
She stopped the car in the middle of the highway.  The object made no
sound. We continued to stare at the object. We, then, decided to turn
around and come back. To turn around and drive back by the sight where we
saw the object took a maximum of 45 seconds and the object was gone from
sight.  If the object had been a helicopter, not only could we have heard
it and felt the force of the spinning propeller, but also when the
helicopter flew off we would have seen it in the sky. Airplanes don't
hover. Thanks to Peter Davenport  <A HREF="WWW.NUFORC.COM">NUFORC</A>

ARIZONA - EGG SHAPED UFO

ARIZONA CITY On May 1, 2003, at approximately 2303 hours, in the northwest
sky, I noticed what appeared to be a slow moving egg shaped star. It was
moving in a southwest direction. As it reached the middle of the sky, it
turned on a bright white light, which illuminated for miles. The light
lasted for approximately  10 seconds, and it was instantly shut off. At
this time, the craft started its ascent at a very high rate of speed and
disappeared among the stars in the sky. I have seen this happen
approximately 3 times in the last 2 years. Keep watching the skies. Thanks
to Peter Davenport

CALIFORNIA - THREE CIGAR SHAPED GREEN FLYING OBJECTS

NORTHRIDGE -- On May 7, 2003, four witnesses were playing poker when Karin
noticed a UFO out the window about 10:30 PM.  We got up to look out the
window and realized in no way was it a plane or helicopter.  The clouds
were very low and we didn't know what it was.  We saw this very weird thing
moving from south to north. There were three green cigar shaped flying
objects.  First they were flying slowly, but then they separated and one
flew east, the other two joined it five seconds later and they increased
their speed and disappeared into the clouds.  That was really scary and
creepy! Thanks to Peter Davenport

WASHINGTON GREEN SPHERE

YAKIMA - The witness reports seeing a green sphere about fifteen minutes
after midnight on May 6, 2003, as he was driving south. The object was 1/2
to 3/4 the size of the moon and could have been a meteor.  It came into
view traveling from east to west, it then disappeared and then reappeared a
split second later.  Peter Davenport spoke with this witness and felt he
was quite credible. The green sphere had a long trail behind it that seemed
too large for a meteor.  Thanks to Peter Davenport

CANADA - CONE/TRIANGULAR OBJECT MAKES TERRIFIC SOUND

DURRELL/TWILLINAGTE NF -- It was around 10:45 PM, on May 8, 2003, and the
witness was in bed talking on the phone, when both heard the same loud
noise fly over them at the same time.  It sounded like a plane was in
trouble and about to crash. The other person on the phone lives about five
kilometers away so the noise covered a large area.  The witness reports, "I
got up and ran to the window and just above houses on the hill was a sort
of cone or triangular shaped object. (I couldn't really tell because it was
dark, this was the shape I saw in lights). The lights were red,
white/yellow, and green. They were blinking and the object was quite large.
It hovered for about 2-3 minutes and zoomed off quickly. It looked as if it
were spinning so fast the colors of the lights combined. It vanished over
the hills shortly after. There were several people who saw it: Myself, my
brother, a guy from school, my father and the person I was talking to on
the phone could hear it. I'm sure there were others as well, but it only
happened last night and I haven't been talking to many people who are
possibly witnesses. There are no military bases or airports in the area. I
have seen planes and helicopters in the night's sky before but there is
nothing to explain the sight I saw last night.

HOUSTON, BRITISH COLUMBIA - Investigator Brian Vike reports the sighting of
a triangular shaped object around March 15, 2003, is being seen by a number
of people over a two month stretch and just recently. The family, who
reported this sighting, said they were caught off guard by what they
witnessed. A low and slow flying triangular shaped craft cruised from the
east to the west from the direction of Mount Harry Davis and continued on
it's flight path over the mountains towards Grouse Mountain and the
Smithers area. The object in the triangle shape was longer than wide, and
very large. Also there were a number of lights which ran along the
underside of it, and close to the outer edge, but rather dim.  It was
completely silent and dark in color. From the witnesses vantage point from
their home they guessed it took the object 15 to 20 seconds before it went
out of their line of sight.

HBCC UFO Note: I visited this family on the same day I met with the other
folks who witnessed and reported their sighting, which was of a flying "C".
Both the C shaped object and this triangle sighting come from the same area
west of town. Once again we have some very credible older folks who never
saw anything like this before.  Many residents claim there were a large
number of sightings in the last two years

MONTREAL -- On May 22, 2003, the witness reports sighting a large half ring
over the skies of downtown at 3:35 PM.  It did not look like a chem-trail
because it was a perfect circle.  The sky is somewhat overcast but the sun
is definitely shining through.  Thanks to Brian Vike, Director HBCC UFO

CHILI - UFOLOGISTS PICK UP UNDERGROUND ELECTROMAGNETIC SIGNALS

Diario El Tribuno de Salta -- Ufologists recorded electromagnetic signals
and radiation emanating from an underground source on May 24, 2003.  Two
scientists affiliated to the Fundaci=F3n Instituto Biof=EDsico de
Investigaciones (FICI) headquartered in La Matanza and directed by Pedro
Romaniuk, one of the most well-known analysts of the UFO phenomenon and an
author of 20 books on the subject, claimed having picked up radioactive
signatures, microwaves, levels of electricity and oscillations originating
from the depths of the earth.  Omar Hesse and Jorge Millstein surveyed the
mountains surrounding Cachi last week -- 157 km from the capital and 2,280
meters above sea level. After applying a Russian tester in the vicinity of
the Nevado de Cachi, they concluded that the signals are not natural in
origin, and rather originate by machinery operated by intelligent beings.

"The oscillations clearly indicate that several kilometers beneath the
surface there is activity: alternating electrical waves, which means a
power source," said Hesse. "This could mean engines," he added. The area
was not chosen at random: it was based on four film recordings made by
local mountaineer Antonio  Zuleta. All of them show analogous
images--strange, swiftly moving lights, which appear to "plunge" into the
ground at the same point. "We will have to return with equipment of higher
sensitivity and equipped with depth rods to achieve greater precision in
the data," observed Millstein.

However, despite the magnitude of their discovery, members of the FICI were
not impressed.  "It's just that this is one of the hottest areas of the
planet regarding extraterrestrial activity. It's a band that stretches from
La Poma to Cayafate and which has roused interest all over the world.
Zuleta's recordings and the signals recorded from the depths of the earth
correspond to a technology not native to our world. "To those of us in this
field, the possibility that vessels may penetrate the earth is nothing new
in the Andes, as depicted by numerous stone records from Ecuador to
Mendoza," they concluded. The FICI organization's leader is also one of
South America's better-known contactees.

UFO FLEET OVER ARGENTINA - TWO MORE CALVES FOUND MUTILATED

NECOCHEA -  Inexplicata reports that researcher  Guillermo Gimenez is
investigating the maneuvers of some ten UFOs flying over the Port of
Necochea-Quequ=E9n.on Sunday, May 25, 2003,  The eyewitness is an engineer
with the Necochea Power Station, belonging to the Centrales de la Costa
Atl=E1ntica S.A. (CCASA) company.  He claims the objects were of
considerable size, white in color and were flying between 8:20 and 8:30
hours.  The objects maneuvered in absolute silence and vanished in the
direction of Parque Miguel Lillo, after flying over the Necochea beach
resort.  Necochea is once more a constant area of UFO manifestations.

El Diario de la Pampa reports, "Raul Chaves and Ester Urban, field
researchers specializing in animal mutilations  pointed out that "so far
this year we have accounted for some 60 mutilations in La Pampa and Buenos
Aires." They noted that "thanks to the fact that they already know us and
know that we research the subject, cattle ranchers inform us when mutilated
animals are discovered. We then obtain samples which we send to the
University of Buenos Aires and document everything on videotape."  They
referred to the two most recent cases -- on May 16th and 17th.  The first
of these took place in the "El Martin" ranch 45 km northwest of the Pampan
capital and involved a year-old calf weighing 200 kgs. On the left side of
its head, the absence of the outer ear was evident along with the entire
inner ear, its eye, and an oval-shaped flap of skin, measuring some 30 cm.
in diameter. The absence of vulva, edge of the anus, larynx, and pharynx
and a segment of the trachea, as well as part of the upper muscular mass,
was also noted.  The second calf was found on a rural property located 30
kilometers north of Santa Rosa. It was a 2 year-old calf weighing 250 kg.
missing half of its tongue with a cauterized incision and missing the left
ocular orb. In both cases professionals secured samples for subsequent
study and analysis. They invite those interested in the subject to visit
their website at http://www.ciufos.com.   Thanks to Guillermo Daniel

NETHERLANDS - PHOTOS OF UFOs

AMERSFOORT -- An extraordinary UFO sighting was reported on May 17, 2003,
when multiple witnesses saw some strange flying objects.  A 36-year-old
limousine driver, took some pictures with his HP 620 digital camera. Around
13:45 he took notice of a large weird shaped object in the sky with two
smaller objects beneath it. The smaller objects seemed to be under
intelligent control by the larger object in some way. The object appeared
to be round shaped and reasonably large. The distance between the witness
and the UFOs was about 350 meters at 300-meter altitude. The strange
objects were gray-black and didn't make any noise. They moved at a variable
speed, about 30 km/h average, at first south, and then north. After ten
minutes the UFOs disappeared over the horizon. 

The witness took three pictures of the strange flying objects that showed
twenty perfectly round orbs that were not noticed by the witness during the
sighting.  Three orbs formed a triangular formation.  Experts were
contacted and couldn't explain the phenomena that was displayed.  In
Belgium last week, an erected cross "standing" in the air was seen by 9
witnesses.  Thanks to Toine Trust Site http://www.UFOPlaza.nl.  =D0utch UFO

DENMARK SHARP LIGHT FADES OUT

BJAEVERSKOV - The witness was walking his dog and saw a very sharp white
light that was a bit bigger than a big star on May 12, 2003.  It was in a
position almost mid way between the Moon and "Karlsvognen" at 4:23 PM.  I
do not know the English name.  The light lasted about 5 to 10 seconds
before it faded out slowly and disappeared.  It was not moving away. There
was no sound.  I continued to look for ten minutes but it never came back.

AZERBAIJAN - UFO SEEN BY HUNDREDS FOR TWO-HOURS

BAKU - Hundreds of Baku residents became the witnesses of a UFO that buzzed
above the city on Monday, May 19, 2003, from 5 to 7 PM, above various parts
of the capital.  The former city in the USSR, saw in the cloudless sky a
large light stain similar in appearance to an extended "drop of milk."  The
object moved in a complex trajectory, according to the Ekho newspaper.  At
6:35 PM, the "drop" suddenly started quickly to leave. The abnormal object
has caused interest not only by the people of Baku, but also Azerbaijani
experts.  Professor Elchin Khalilov, chief of a commission on the abnormal
phenomena at presidium of Academy of Sciences, videotaped the UFO and is
studying the video.

He told to reporters. "It is already unequivocally clear, that the fixed
object is not the plane, helicopter or other flying means. The UFO
represents a slightly extended form and thus it is abundantly clear, that
it is an object of a technical origin."  The UFO hung at a height of five
kilometers, and then departed to the Caspian Sea. "Its estimated size
exceeds ten meters.  The UFO was rather low above ground and had symmetric
elements on each side."

Experts in aviation, navigation, space, and astrophysics, are
investigating. Fuad Gasimov, chairman of Cosmic Seismological Department of
Azerbaijan National Aero cosmic Agency says, "The appearance of UFOs is an
alarm signal for people who destroy the ecosystem of our planet".  As Baku
Today reported, UFO appeared over Baku on January 2.  Some scientists claim
that UFOs were also observed before and warned about natural disasters. Mr.
Gasimov stated,   "UFOs hinder the prediction of earthquakes and research
carried out in this field. They don't want mankind to reveal their secret."
He told journalists,  "It seems that UFO's will become "normal guests" for
Baku inhabitants soon."

HYBRID ULTRA LARGE AIRCRAFT R&D PROJECT

NAVAIR PATUXENT RIVER, MARYLAND - will be host to an industry day
conference June 5, to discuss new technologies in the area of Hybrid Ultra
Large Aircraft (HULA).  This conference will be a forum to inform
interested companies and individuals of the government's intent to explore
hybrid aircraft technology for various military missions, especially for
Tran global heavy lift. The envisioned product of this effort is a family
of HULA with a 30 to 1,000 ton payload capability, which can transport
outsized cargo between areas, which lack prepared reception facilities,
including operations from water.  Hybrid aircraft are lighter than air
vehicles, which combine static lift from the buoyancy of helium gas with
aerodynamic lift derived from the lifting body shape of the pressure
envelope.

A feature that is vital to the perceived military utility of a HULA is its
ability to operate from unprepared surfaces and without forward base
support; it is not dependent upon access to runways or seaports. The
program plan entails beginning with the design, construction, flight test
and evaluation of relatively small 500 pound payload models which will
serve to create a data base of information on aerodynamic and control
characteristics and yield insights into construction techniques and
operational aspects which are, to a degree, scalable up through the
envisioned larger vehicles. As many as four contractors will be funded up
to $2.5 million each to produce and demonstrate their individual designs
with first flight goals of one year from contract award (to occur in
FY-04). Additionally, the selected participants will be expected to produce
conceptual pre-designs of 30 and 500 ton HULAs for which the data from
their model demonstrations has application. Thanks to the US Navy.

EDITOR"S NOTE:  Extremely large triangle shaped craft have been seen flying
low over the US and Europe for decades.  Perhaps, the Navy has decided to
duplicate these craft.
