Project Silver Bug Was a Plan for the US to Build UFOs.
Jack Picket the editor of military news magazines helped me obtain a 30
page FOIA release on Project Silver Bug that showed the Air Force was
developing a disc shaped aircraft in 1955. He had personally seen four of
the craft at Mac Dill Air Force Base in 1966, and was asked to release a
story concerning these classified aircraft. Later, just prior to
publication the article was cut, because a disc was seen flying low over
Miami. Jack had personally seen four of the disc shaped aircraft in the
disposal area that ranged in size from 25 feet to 125 feet in diameter. The
four aircraft were saucers shaped with vertical stabilizers (tails) with AF
Experimental written on the craft. He was told there were numerous similar
craft flying, but they were unstable and frequently crashed.
This "saucer" designed aircraft was believed to use two to four J58 engines
that were also the propulsion system for the SR-71. The SR-71 could fly
faster than Mach 3 and was designed in secrecy by a team headed by Clarence
L. "Kelly" Johnson, director of Lockheed's Advanced Development Projects
office better known as the 'Skunk Works'. The existence of the aircraft was
not officially revealed until February 29, 1964. Skunk Work's engineer Ben
Rich is quoted as saying, "Some UFOs are ours and some are theirs."
Project Silver Bug was the research and development project to field jet
propelled flying saucers beginning in 1955, that would be dispersed to
under ground bases to avoid Soviet attack. The disks were capable of
vertical takeoffs and landings, and would be capable of Mach 3.48 -- faster
than the SR-71 Blackbird. In the Project Silver Bug Report, dated Feb.
15, 1955, and declassified on March 29, 1995, he claimed the disk
interceptor aircraft would be capable of vertical takeoff and landing; a
maximum level speed of 2,300 mph with afterburners; a ceiling of 80,600
feet; and a climb rate of 1.76 minutes to 36,090 feet. The Pratt and
Whitney Aircraft Division of United Aircraft Corporation developed the J58
engines that in July 1976, powered an SR-71 to a world altitude record of
85,069 ft. and another to a world speed record of 2,193 mph.
The Report on Project Silver Bug was issued by the Air Technical
Intelligence Center along with the Wright Air Development Center at
Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio. The Silver Bug report noted that a
pair of ongoing US projects involving the building of flying saucers had
already occurred. The book Page 5 of Slier Bug Technical Report below:
The Silver Bug disc would be capable of vertical takeoff and landing; and
performance greater than the SR-71. This performance was far in advance of
any aircraft then and is roughly equivalent to the current F-15
fighter."The Super Spies", by Andrew Tully, 1969, claimed these discs were
being used as "Saucers with Ears," that is, for communications intercept
missions.
The 1955 issue of Look Magazine state that, "New air defense problems were
setting up requirements for aircraft performance which would apparently be
best met by a saucer aircraft. Runways would not be needed and bases could
go underground with tunnels and takeoff shafts set in the ground, complete
with maintenance bays, fuel, and crew quarters. Those underground bases,
the article said, would be bombproof shelters for a saucer squadron. The
shafts would be sealed after takeoff for camouflage and protection."
It is rather obvious that our technology has greatly improved since the
late 1950s, and that faster and higher flying aircraft are available to the
Air Force. Modern aircraft should exceed 5000 mph and 100,000 feet
altitudes.
Jeff Rense mentioned on his Radio show on December 3, 2003, that the US has
built UFOs and that more data will be forth coming.
Cracks in Earth's Magnetic Shield
NASA reports that immense cracks in our planet's magnetic field can remain
open for hours, allowing the solar wind to gush through and power stormy
space weather. Our Earth is surrounded by a magnetic force field -- a
bubble in space called "the magnetosphere" that is tens of thousands of
miles wide. The magnetosphere is part of the same planetary magnetic field
that deflects compass needles. The magnetosphere acts as a shield that
protects us from solar storms. According to new observations, from NASA's
IMAGE spacecraft and the joint NASA/European Space Agency Cluster
satellites, immense cracks sometimes develop in Earth's magnetosphere and
remain open for hours. This allows the solar wind to gush through and power
stormy space weather. We've discovered that our magnetic shield is drafty,
like a house with a window stuck open during a storm," says Harold Frey of
the University of California, Berkeley, lead author of a paper on this
research published Dec. 4 in Nature. "The house deflects most of the storm,
but the couch is ruined. Similarly, our magnetic shield takes the brunt of
space storms, but some energy slips through its cracks, sometimes enough to
cause problems with satellites, radio communication, and power systems."
Editors Note: These cracks in the magnetic shield seem to effect not only
space weather but weather systems on the Earth
Return to The Moon? Bush Wants New Lunar Program
President George W. Bush may be preparing to put the US back on the path to
the moon and establish a permanent base. It would be the first time in more
than 30 years that astronauts have been to the moon. News.com.au reported
that Bush will make the announcement either on December 17, the 100th
anniversary of the Wright brothers first flight, or in his State of the
Union address in January. The United States landed on the moon in July of
1969, and recently China announced plans to establish a base on the moon.

Mars Climate Changing - Life on Mars?
The amount of frozen water near the surface in some relatively warm
low-latitude regions on both sides of Mars' equator appears too great to be
in equilibrium with the atmosphere under current climatic conditions, said
Dr. William Feldman of Los Alamos National Laboratory, NM. He is the lead
scientist for an Odyssey instrument that assesses water content. "One
explanation could be that Mars is just coming out of an ice age," Feldman
said. "In some low-latitude areas, the ice has already dissipated. In
others, that process is slower and hasn't reached an equilibrium yet. Those
areas are like the patches of snow you sometimes see persisting in
protected spots long after the last snowfall of the winter."
Frozen water makes up as much as 10 percent of the top three feet of
surface material in some regions close to the equator. Dust deposits may be
covering and insulating the lingering ice, Feldman said. He and other
Odyssey scientists described their recent findings today at the fall
meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco. "Odyssey is
giving us indications of recent global climate change in Mars," said Dr.
Jeffrey Plaut, project scientist for the mission at NASA's Jet Propulsion
Laboratory.
High latitude regions of Mars have layers with differing ice content within
the top half meter (20 inches) or so of the surface, researchers conclude
from mapping of hydrogen abundance based on gamma-ray emissions. "A model
that fits the data has three layers near the surface," said Dr. William
Boynton of the University of Arizona, "The very top layer would be dry,
with no ice. The next layer would contain ice in the pore spaces between
grains of soil. Beneath that would be a very ice-rich layer, 60 to nearly
100 percent water ice."
Editors Note: We have been telling NASA for many years there was evidence
for water on Mars. It is nice to see they are starting to agree with us.
Don't be surprised if the UK finds life when its mission lands on Christmas
Day.
Maine - Cross Shaped Lights 100 feet Long
WATERVILLE - The witness was on his porch waiting for his girlfriend to get
out of the shower on November 21, 2003. Watching the sky for ten minutes,
he saw five lighted cross-shaped machines flying low in the distance at 1
PM. He states, "I ran inside and yelled to my girlfriend to take a look,
she did and got scared stiff." They hovered in one spot for twenty
minutes. There were five of them. After a period of time they slowly
turned to the west and glided away. There were six lights on each craft. It
scared my girl so much see shivered all night.
Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter
Connecticut - Circular Light With Blinking Lights
SEYMOUR -- At 10:15 PM, the witness went out on the porch on a very cold
clear night and saw a bright blinking object with numerous colors that was
brighter than the other stars. It was blinking at quick intervals, unlike
the lights of a plane or jet. His wife retrieved his binoculars and he saw
a bright circular light with what looked like four or five rapidly blinking
lights. The object was stationary and not emitting any noise. He went next
door and awakened my neighbors and let them look through the binoculars.
Their reaction was the same as mine. I called the Oxford Airport personnel.
They told me there were no weather balloons in the area. I have some of it
on video. I am not a pro, so the picture did not come out too good, but
good enough. The object had moved further away at this point. After about a
half hour it vanished. I hope to take the pictures somewhere to see if they
can clear up the image. It was at night so you cannot make out any clear
shape. I hope to see it again.

New York - UFO Blocks the Road
WATERTOWN - Rick Doty writes, "I recently was sent a document that pertains
to an incident in Watertown, New York. There is no date on this incident
that occurred in the early evening, when a UFO landed on State Route 12,
about two miles southeast of Watertown. Two occupants exited the craft and
walked to a residence east of Route 12. Several motorists stopped because
the craft was blocking the road. Jefferson County Sheriff's Department
received several calls reporting the blocked traffic on Route 12 and two
State Troopers were dispatched to the area. In the meantime, the two
occupants of the craft walked onto the porch of a residence. Sometime
later, the two occupants of the craft returned to their flight vehicle. At
this point about ten citizens and two state troopers witnessed the two
occupants enter the craft and fly away. Several photographs were taken of
this incident. One witness used an 8 mm movie camera to record the event.
Later the film was developed and the two occupants of this craft showed up
in the background of three photographs. The only hint I see that this
incident occurred several years ago is the 8 mm movie camera. They went out
about 25 years ago. I don't know if this is a hoax or a real incident. I
never heard of it.
Thanks to - Sgt. Rick Doty
Maryland - Chevron Sighting
BALTIMORE - The observer was walking back to his car at 9:40 PM, on
December 1, 2003, on the uppermost roof level of a parking deck, adjacent
to Baltimore's City Hall. The observer works in a model shop in downtown
Baltimore, and saw a series of very dim lights in a chevron formation
moving quickly to the south. The arrow shaped arrangement of lights meant
there were possibly 5 or 6 lights on each "wing." These lights were very
dim, and I could barely see them. However, they did continue to move in an
erratic pattern to the south until I could not see them anymore. The object
made no sound, and the lights stayed relative to their original position on
the craft. If it was not some type of spacecraft, I think it could have
possibly been a kite, or possibly a flock of birds. Barring an optical
illusion on my part, it could not have been much else.

Virginia - Pretty Weird Lights Moving in the Woods
Jason writes that, "Filer's Files #49 article on Virginia sounds so close
to what my family and I saw that I had to write and tell you. While I do
not personally believe anymore that these are actual alien beings from
another world (I believe they are something darker), I do know that some of
these things are real and I have watched for years to see if anyone else
had witnessed the same thing as me, but unfortunately I only know of a
farmer in Scotland that reported something similar. I thought the term the
witness used "surveying the woods" is almost exactly how I felt. Although,
it seems silly to assume that this thing was surveying, that is exactly
what it looked like. At first, we thought the lights were coming from
hunters in tree stands.
Thanks to Jason http://www.iwasabducted.com/ufoboard/reports/59.htm
Georgia - Flying Round Object
Tom Sheets State Director reports that the witness contacted Chris Brennam
of the Brunswick News; and he is reporting continued observations by
multiple witnesses of distant aerial objects with blue, yellow, red, and
green lights. Some observations including shape-shifting into objects with
a fuselage and wing shape. This has been capped with the recent appearance
of a large and closer low flying roundish object coming from the south at
3000-4000 feet altitude, the object having an array of lights on the bottom
resembling a "honeycomb/grid" like pattern. The lights change colors and
are very bright. I spoke to this witness on Tuesday afternoon and he agreed
to meet with our investigators John Bodin, MUFONGA's DD for south Georgia,
and Charles Bowen, SSD for the Savannah area, have been assigned.
Thanks to Tom Sheets. www.mufon.com/georgia.html
Florida - Circular Objects Flying Overhead and Invisible Jet
PENSACOLA - The witness reports, "I went out for a smoke and saw an object
come from the north moving south very fast, much faster than a plane or
satellite." If you put your hands side by side, it was four hand spaces
west of the moon on November 16, 2003, and this was no shooting star and
was in the earth's atmosphere. It was six fingers wider than the moon,
bright, yellow-orange with a halo or ring farther out. It just streaked
across the sky and was gone.
Thanks to Peter Davenport
SOUTHWEST MIAMI -- On November 17, 2003, about 4:45 PM, the sun was
getting low in the west in a bright clear sky, twenty miles from Homestead
Reserve Air Base. I'm accustomed to seeing and hearing military jets from
there. Working in the front yard I heard that military jet sound relatively
close overhead as usual. Upon looking to see one of the beautiful F-16's or
F-18's, I was surprised to find I couldn't see anything. The loud engine
sound flew northwest. I searched the sky for the entire time of the
relatively slow, directly overhead passage but never saw the craft.
Thanks to Peter Davenport
ST. PETERSBURG - The witness was walking his dog that was searching for
scents on the ground on November 16, 2003, at 7:30 PM. The dog looked up
twice, and I also looked up and saw a huge round object flying above the
treetops. It had lights on the outer edges that were going around. It
looked like a slide projection on the clouds but this projection traveled
south over our roof and disappeared. I got my wife and we both saw it
again! The phenomenon was also witnessed by another apartment resident
hanging her laundry. Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter
Ohio - Cylinder Behind Jet and UFO Dives into Caverns?
REYNOLDSBURG - On December 1, 2003, a cylinder shaped object moving east
appeared in broad daylight around noon and was flying very high in the sky
and was the size of a ball point pen tip held at arm's length. The witness
had a passing plane to compare with the cylinder. The object passed behind
the contrail of a jet airplane moving in the opposite direction, but left
no contrail of it's own. Also, the object seemed to reflect the sun's rays
inconsistently, and was not constantly illuminated by the sun as was the
airplane moving in the opposite direction. Thanks to Peter Davenport
FOSTORIA CAVERN ENVIRONMENT - George Ritter continues to videotape UFOs
that appear to fly into and out of a farmer's field. A retired Ohio State
Policeman has contacted us who investigated a similar situation. He
physically walked through a field to pick up any wreckage of the craft.
Nothing could be found. Obviously, what the video infers seems impossible,
however, we request help from a geologist to help make an examination of
the area. Many caverns are known to exist in the general area. Regardless
of the weather conditions the temperature of the Ohio Caverns remains a
constant 54 deg F. (12.2 deg C.) throughout the year. The air inside the
Caverns is always fresh and invigorating. Many of the suspected caverns in
the area have not been exactly located but some are known to exist within
ten miles. I call on an experienced geologist to examine the site.
Thanks to George Ritter
KENTUCKY - Screaming Women and UFO Reported
MOREHEAD - Investigators Donnie Blessing and Kenny Young are investigating
a strange case. Donnie Blessing Southern Ohio Section Director MUFON,
POSTING TO CURRENT-ENCOUNTERS LIST BY KENNY YOUNG). "A short time ago I
located and interviewed a very credible witness in Morehead, Kentucky that
has provided me with a sober link between a UFO sighting and bizarre report
of desperate and blood-curdling screaming sounds heard at the same location
immediately after the unidentified flying object had departed." After the
conversation I had to call a 'time out' and take some time to contemplate
over this development as the report is terribly interesting. It is one of
the best reports I have ever taken as I am impressed with the witness and
extreme strangeness of the case. I will prepare the details of this case
shortly. The witness did not report this except to the police and has no
idea how it ended up at NUFORC. As stated earlier, the Morehead police
department was dismissive of this incident. They acknowledged a search
party and report of screaming sounds but said that 'northern lights' were
seen in the area. From my conversation with this very credible witness,
northern lights can be positively ruled out.
Thanks to Donnie Blessing, Kenny Young and Peter Davenport UFOcenter
Illinois - Moving Light at Sunset
CHICAGO (West Suburbs) - The witness was driving on I-88 west, heading
towards Aurora on November 19, 2003, at about 4:30 PM, when he saw two soft
white lights a mile ahead. The sun was just setting, when he saw the
first star on the horizon, and to the right of a star he saw another soft
white light half an inch to the right, and about an inch below. The second
light was moving slowly towards the first and about half way it
disappeared. In a few seconds it reappeared next to the first light. I
couldn't see any ship, but it was unusual since this happened during sunset
and there was still a lot of sunlight. It was the absence of color that
made me take notice. When the second light disappeared, it was very
strange.
Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter
Nebraska - Triangle Shape Craft With Multiple Lights
OMAHA - A very bright light was observed hovering north of I-80 on
November 20, 2003, at 6 PM. Closer observation revealed a triangle shaped
object with multiple lights underneath that did not make any noise.
Thanks to Peter Davenport
Texas - Gray Cylinder and Lights Investigation
DALLAS - Last week on November 19, 2003, at about 2:05 PM an observer
reported seeing a gray cylinder that resembled a fuselage without any wings
going upwards with a faint trail following it. The following two nights
there has been a white or yellowish star that is out of place but has been
seen in plain view at 5:45 PM and it is extremely too bright to be a star.
DALLAS -- George Venner a MUFON investigator writes, "I live in a suburb of
Dallas called Mesquite, and also saw the white or yellowish star. I filmed
for about 10-15 minutes and questioned its identity because it was so
bright and low in the sky, and no other stars were visible. I waited for
30 minutes and it still just sat there moving slightly like a star would
over time. After reviewing my film and using Starry Night Pro software I
believe it to be Venus that was visible at -3.95 which is very bright at
that location at that time.

New Mexico - Possible Cattle Mutilation
CLOUDCROFT -- On November 28, 2003, at about 1 PM, the witness was
walking in the Lincoln National Forest and came upon a dead elk laying in a
shallow ravine. The elk was no more than 200 yards from our subdivision,
and perhaps half a mile from my house. There is a substantial elk
population in the area, and sightings are not unusual. The dead elk was a
small one, the length perhaps 4 feet, and weighing maybe 400-600 pounds.
Rigor mortis was full and complete. There was no evidence the elk had been
gutted by a hunter, as there was no apparent longitudinal incision on the
lower abdomen/chest area. The head had been removed, as if cut from the
body right where the neck joins the body, and the vertebrae stuck out from
the cut area about 6 inches or so, ending in a smoothly sliced vertebrae.
The witness took photos that show the rectum of this elk has been smoothly
cored out. Further, the genitals have been removed, and there is no obvious
way to tell the sex of this animal. The removal of the genitals could be
attributable to animals perhaps (we have mountain lions, coyotes, and
bears) as the removal does not appear to have been in such a clean,
surgical fashion upon my limited observation. The elk carcass is still on
site for investigation.

California - Golden Sphere
BURBANK -- At 8:30 PM, on November 17, 2003, the witness reports, "My
daughter and I saw a gold sphere traveling slowly in the southern sky above
Los Angeles, similar to sightings by my wife and I several months ago. It
traveled to the southwestern sky in a circular motion for about ten
minutes. I tried to get my telescope out but by the time I got set up, it
vanished.
Thanks to Peter Davenport UFOcenter
Canada - Red Ball Lights Up Area
BURNS LAKE, BC -- Two witnesses were traveling back home to Houston,
British Columbia on November 16, 2003, after taking a two week holiday.
They were climbing a small hill on Highway #16 just before Babine Forest
Products when they both noticed a red ball of light ahead of them, dropping
on a slight angle from low in the sky at 7:30 p.m. The witnesses said, the
object, what ever it was seem to come down just on the other side of the
hill they were climbing. Also, what they found to be strange was just after
they lost sight of the red ball of light behind the hill, all of a sudden
at the crest of the grade, on the highway, the whole area was glowing a
bright reddish color. They reported that the tops of the tress were also
bathed in a reddish glow. From their vantage point they could not see
anything as they had not arrived at the top of the hill. They were only a
few hundred yards away from reaching the top and from this location they
should have been able to see what was causing this reddish glow. Just
before they reached the top the light went out. The couple slowed down and
kept their eyes open to maybe catch sight of it again somewhere just off
the highway. But nothing could be observed. No vehicles were seen driving
along the highway ahead of them.

UK/England - Five Intensely Bright Flashing Egg Lights.
NOTTINGHAM -- Whilst traveling north bound along the M1 motorway, five
witnesses noticed a bright flashing light high in the sky at 12:25 PM. They
saw a large bright white light flashing on and off at a slow pace on
November 20, 2003. This continued every few seconds and when the light
disappeared nothing could be seen even though it was a bright sunny day. We
were all amazed and confused to what it could be. The light was intense.
After about one minute and in the same direction other bright flashing
lights appeared as if they were communicating with each other. We all
agreed there were at least four lights maybe five. We continued to travel
along the motorway and opened the car windows for a better look. We noted
other motorist looking at the same thing. The lights continued for about
four or five minutes. Before the lights disappeared, I noted one of them
move to the 2 o'clock direction stretching as it did before disappearing.

India - UFO Seen In Last Full Moon
MUMBAI - On November 30, 2003?, the observer saw a sort of UFO during the
last full moon. At nearly 2:00 AM, the witness states, "I went to my
balcony to see the stars (as its my hobby to watch stars). A bright star
attracted me that was the brightest star in the sky. I never saw such
bright star. Its direction was- towards Bandraside and it was just a bright
light white and slight yellow without any blink or flash. I kept staring
at it and gradually there was an increase in its size, and within 5-10
seconds, I realized that as it increased in its size there was a very fast
circular motion of the light. It was like a ball burning in flames and is
revolving very fast in circular motion. It remained for a few more seconds
and then minimized and vanished.

Australia - Formation Of Discs Overhead
MELBOURNE - The witnesses were at a party and decided to go for a walk down
the foreshore nature trail on December 1, 2003. At 4:24 PM, we were about
ten minutes into the trip and we were thinking about heading back and
turned around when one of my friends yelled out, "Hey, what the hell is
that?" There were a few screams from the females, but then we settled down
and stood there in amazement as these nimble crafts floated 800 to 900
meters above our heads. They were disc shaped objects that seemed to be
able to move in any direction and flew about in a pattern. They had no
reliance on the winds like the planes of today. We were all frightened and
we admitted afterwards that it was a terrifying experience.
The Netherlands - Twenty UFO Reports in 24 Hour Flap
Hello George, Just to let you know that we received over 20 UFO sighting
reports in the last 24 hours (Dec. 10-11) throughout the whole country and
they just keep coming! I don't have time at the moment to translate them
all, but I'll keep you informed...
