Update “On UFO Close Encounters” November 12 07 Press Conference

“If you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao… You’re not going to make it with anyone anyhow” Beatles

I was at the “Intruders Foundation” last Saturday when Leslie Kean and Budd Hopkins presented an update and film of some on the November 12 press conference in Washington DC. It seemed to be quite a success. They passed out four pages all in a plastic holder with the list of representative of the press from all over the world who were in attendance on that date.
I asked for a copy Miss Kean said she would try to get me one if I get it I will present it.

Lesley, kindly had a type statement ready on each chair of some of the foreign witnesses testimony who were highlighting in the video.
So the following reports are from their statements:

Oscar Santa Maria Huetas Pilot Peruvian Air Force April 1980:

1800 hundred in morning military formation observed a stationary object at approx. 1800 feet attitude. It was luminous because it reflected the sun. My unit commander order me to take off in my Sukoi-22 jet to shoot down the spherical object…it was in restricted airspace. I approached the object and I approached the object and strafed sixty-four 30mm shells at it. The projectiles didn’t bounce off …Probably they were absorbed…The object then began to ascend and move father away form the base. At about 36,000 feet it made a sudden stop forcing me to veer to the side since I was only 1500 feet away. I flew higher to attack it from above, just as I locked on to the target and was ready to shoot the object made a strieght vertical climb evading the attack. Two more times I had the object …each time it would move away at the last minute. I decided to climb at full thrust to get about the object…at 63000 ft. it stopped. I was within 300 of the UFO. It headed straight at me I tried to launch a heat seeking missile and my panel went out, another followed me on my way back.”
was about 30 feet in diameter. It was enameled, cream-colored dome, with a wide, circular, metallic base…no engines, no exhausts, no windows with no visible propulsion system…it was at that moment I realized I was not dealing with a spying device. it was a UFO…I was almost out of fuel I couldn’t attack… I was afraid. I radio for another plane and they said no, it’s too high and for me to come back…always with my eyes in the rear view mirror hoping it wouldn’t follow. Object stayed stationary in the sky after I landed for two hours.
It still gives me chills to think about it.


Wilfred DE Brouwer Major General Belgian Air Force Chief Operations 1989:
Aprrox. 140 UFO s sightings of a triangular craft with a wingspan of 120 feet… moving slowly without and significant noise but in several cases accelerating to high speeds…sightings lasted more than a year.. F16 launched registered on radar attitude and performance way outside the envelope of existing aircraft…

The Strange world of Abby Parker:


Retired General Iranian Air Force 1976:
…”Citizen frightened by circling of an unknown object over Tehran at low attitude look like a star but bigger and brighter…scrambled F-4 jet to investigate. Pilot in first jet lost instrumentation and communications when he got to close to brilliant object and had to return to base…the second jet which I was piloting approached the object which was flashing intense blue red green and orange sequences extremely fast. We lock on it with radar at a range of 25 miles the size on the radar was comparable to a 707 tanker. Four other objects with different shapes separated from the main one. When ever they got close my weapons were jammed and radio communication was garbled. One landed in an open area radiating a high bright light.


After the disasters of “Exopoltics” & “The Disclosure Project” it was nice to find out this smart presentation, Some “movements” should take John Lennon’s statement to heart.
Ms Kean explained that the concept for the press conference was to bring credible witnesses with impeccable documentation and not to present any wild theories.

A first step yes but we have a long way to go to gain credibility. I believe we should investigate all the cases we can. But we should make sure to only present the cases that have independent verification when we approach the scientific community and the government. Not everyone in the government is bad and not every scientist are debunkers.

I spoke with Kean about a suggestion she made regarding using NASA as a possible entity to investigate UFOs. I was taken back. I went to her after and spoke to her. I said why NASA? Her thought was where else? If you start with NASA, I replied you are dead in the water with most of the UFO community. They have lost credibility with most of us and with just cause. I also said you don’t want to start off with something controversial from the get go. There might be certain universities like Stanford where you could get open minded researchers to take a look at old cases and investigate new ones. She seemed very open to forgetting about NASA since she was having her own problems with the Kecksburg case and getting NASA to release it’s documents.

I fervently believe the intelligence behind the UFO reality is more then up to the challenge of any scientist who thinks they can explain UFS in conventional terms.


If you want to help write or call the presidential candidates and asked them where they stand on a objective research study for UFOs. Mention the press conference and the quality of the witnesses involved.
Don’t bring up aliens or free energy and what every else you may believe… as Joe Friday use to say “just the facts”
