UFOs And The Electronic Mediaby Lawrence J.Fehwic:k

For the first time in the hist­?ry of television in southern Ontar­10, a motion picture made for themedium which concerns the UFO subj­ect was shown on a multi-culturalchannel.47,-CFMT·, April 22.

This was the film The Disapp­earance of Flight 412, starringCanadian-born Glenn Ford andBradford Dillman. What made thisTV appearance of the film uniquewas that it was dubbed into theItalian language. This was toaccommodate the third of a millionItalian-speaking people in thecity of Metropolitan Toronto.

The usual reticence and lackof willingness to publicize anyshow about UFOs of the TorontoStar was shown in the wording ofthe newspaper's TV guide descr­iption of the film. It stated"The air force investigates thedisappearance of an airplane."No mention was made of the factthat the movie was a fictionali­zation of a real incident--thefamous Kinross AFB plane dis­appearance over Lake Michiganwherein a UFO was seen on acollision course with the plane,the UFO and the plane vanishedfrom the radar screen, and theevent was said to have been acollision with an Air Canadaplane. No wreckage was everfound.

The main value of the filmwas that at the beginning ,of this 1974 production somegenuine motion picture footagewas inserted to give the pic­ture more impact. The GreatFallS, Montana and Tremonton,Utah footage was shown witha narrator providing voice-over.

The uneven quality of someUFO documentary films was onview on Thursday, May 2, whenToronto's Channel 57, CITY-TV,showed Overlords of the UFO.

The William Gordon Allenproduction was an attempt topromote the other-dimensionalorigin theory for UFOs. Ittried to do this by repeatingthe same phrases which becametiresome after a while. Asidefrom that, side issues such asthe Von Daniken and Uri Gellersegments were thrown in tosustain interest. Instead, theydistracted the viewer from thetheoretical origin aspect.

There were a few scenes whichhad never been shown before,such as the Deland, Floridamotion picture--a genuinelyastounding short sequence takenin broad daylight in colour.

As for Toronto medi~ coverage,the Star said the film'S"unique film footage separatesfacts about flying saucers frommyths." The Globe and Mail noted"An examination of unidentifiedflying objects with photographicevidence that purportedly separatesthe fact from fiction."

The 1977 documentary was shownat 2 in the morning. It wasfollowed by The Legend of LochNess.

The Globe's use of the word"purportedly" in its descriptionmakes it appear the more skepticalof the two newspapers, which isa definite change from the previousattitude of the two newspapers.

UFO LANDINGREP'ORTEDA TKIRTLAND AF8

by Bruce MaccabeeTHIS ARTICLE COMES TO CUFORN FROM LARRY BRYANT OF THE CITIZENSAGAINST UFO SECRECY. Bruce Maccabee, M!l:iA., Ph. D., is a researchphysicist at the U.S. Naval Surface Weapons Center in SilverSprings, Maryland.

The morning of August 9, 1980,was only about 20 minutes old whena security guard spotted a "rounddisc shaped object" with a verybright light which had landed in arestricted test area east of Kirt­land Air Force Base, Albuquerque,New Mexico.

Subsequently the object ascend­ed rapidly into the air. Both thelanding and the ascension were \witnessed by a group of guardsabout five miles away at the time.A report of the landing, preparedby agent Richard Doty of the AirForce Office of Special Invest­igations(AFOSI) at Kirtland, be­came public in the spring of 1983,apparently as a result of a "leak"which was followed by a Freedomof Information and Privacy Act(FOIPA) request by a UFO invest­igator (Barry Greenwood).

In the spring of 1984, Icontacted Doty to rind out if hehad more inrormation than wascontained in the li pages whichhad been released. I was notsurprised to hear him tell methat he had interviewed the wit­nesses, gone to the landing site,and had written a larger report.I was not surprised because Ifound it difficult to believethat the Air Force would overlooksomething as impD~tant as alanding of SOMETHINQ .inside arestricted (nuclearJstorage area.

He also said that there was morethat he couldn't tell me. Hefurther suggested that I write toHeadquarters (HQ!AFOSI) to obtainall releasable information. Itherefore wrote to HQ!AFOSI andrequested the follow-on documentunder the FOIPA.

The Chief of the InformationRelease Division, Noah Lawrence,denied tho. t'. there was anotherdocument because there was noneon file at HQ!AFOSI. Subsequent­ly, because of my insistence, hecalled Doty on the phone and Doty(evidently) told him there was nosuch document. I then had a longconversation with Lawrence and headmitted that there was a "dis­crepancy" between what Doty toldme and what he told Lawrence.

Lawrence then requested thatDoty be interviewed by his comm­anding officer (Lawrence did notinterview Doty himself). Thecommanding officer (evidently)reported back to Lawrence thatDoty denied the existence of an­other document. According toLawrence, without a specific nameor a file location of this reportcontinued requests are futile.

Unbeknownst to me, author/in­vestigator Bill Moore had indep­endently researched the case in1982. After I had completed myinvestigation, I told him what Ihad learned and he informed me ofhis investigation. The results of

1. PeUtioner is a public-interes t group chartered to expose, protest, and count4Srany instance or unwarranted official secrecy/press censorship on the part of anyloverment agency as regards reported encounters with Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO).

2. The U. S. GoverDllent's action in aintaining secret custody over one or .,re occu­pants or crash-lAnded UFO's of apparent extraterrestrial origin is tantallOUnt to theirdetention and prosecution by U. S. officials .- said action never having been fully andadequately explained to the public.

8. As evidenced by the GoverDlltent's own UFO-related docuaentation thasfar released tothe public, the U. S. Governaent has pursued, and continues to pursue, a policy of UFOsecrecy whenever that policy is deemed convenient. In particu1ar, that policy yorks topreserve the Ultt.ate Secret when used (a) to deny public access to the detained/prose­cuted extrat..restrials, and (b) to deny them reciprocal access and civil Uberty.

4. Because of that nil or secrecy, the ~tiHoner has insufficient knowledge to Ipeci­fy the Dature of the detentionfprosecution/ptea/trial/appeal (e.g., na.ae and tocationof court which entered the judpent, date of judgment or conviction, length of sentence,nature of orfense involved). '

6. This petition constitutes petitioner's initial action, in any court, to secure theprecedential wvri t of habeas corpus extraten-estrial.·

1. The petitioner, Citizens Against UFO Secrecy, operating OD the SUle legal principleinvolved in cases of citizen's arrest, do hereby petition the U.S. District Court forthe District of Co1um~la for an rmmediate Writ of Habeas Corpus Extraterrestrial.

2. We base our petition OD the .vidence represented by the inclosed documentation andOD the following rationale:

(1) It is our conclusion and conviction that the U.S. Government UFO-related docu­ments recently released yia the U. S. Freedom of Information Act show that --

(a) Certain U. S. ailitary and/or lAw-enforcement authorities have on at leastone occasion participated in the apprehension and detainment of one or ~e occupants ofcrash-landed Unidentified Flying Objects (a.k.a. -flying saucers");

(b) Said occupants, because of their physical description as detailed in thedocuments, originated from an extraterrestrial civilization;

(c) Said occupants, whether dead or alive, have been held in the secret custodyof U.S. authorities without a 1\111 accounting to the public;

(d) This capture and intermaent of any of the U10 crewmen COl13titutes tl.n un­warranted deprivation of their freedom to travel and as such denies them the legalremedy of due-process-of-1aw.

(2) Any post-mortem on the corpses of any UFO crewmen that might have been con­ducted primarily to deter.mine their biological origin violated their right to privacyand their right to be clai~ed intact by their relatives.

(3) The U. S. Departrents of Defense, Air Force, Army, state, as well as the U. S.Federal Bureau of IDVestigation, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the U. S. CentralIntelligence A,ency , and the U. S. National Security Agency -- all involved in past andcurrent policy practices of "UFO secrecy" -- should be held accountable for their ac­tions as regards their roles in the detention and criminal prosecution of the UFO crew­lien/extraterrestrials in question; hence, this accountability should include any court­approved discovery motions that the petitioner deems appropriate for determining allmatters of fact in this issue.

3. Given the foregoing rationale, and in view of the U. S. Government's propensity forwithholding vital UFO information/artifacts from public view, we respectfully ask thiscourt to issue the sought-for Writ of Habeas Corpus Extraterrestrial.

This is a well-written bookabout the UFO landiugs of Dec­ember, 1980 in the RendleshamForest near the Woodbridge andBentwaters U.S. Air Force Basesin East Anglia, 2ngland.

Its 291 pages include 16 pho­tographs, 1) drawings and sevenpages of references. A spect­acular orange, yellow, blackand white dust jacket coversthis hard-cover work dividedinto 31 short chapters whichmake it easi8r to read.

The book follows the sequenceof events carefully as it showshow a proper investigation shouldbe conducted. It sports an ess­ential list of principal chara­ters at the outset and has onlyfour spelling errors. t~de.s

lack an index and uses some"filler" in describing the site'shistory and some UFO history.

Only seven pseudonyms are usedfor the 4) eyewitnesses, inciden­tal characters, Ministry of Def-ence Officials and investigators. _

The book emphasizes facts andpresents the skeptic's arguments.These two attributes help to makeit one of the most importantworks in the literature and hist­ory of UFO research.

There are several startlingitems discussed in the book. Wedo not intend to reveal these aswe feel the reader should disco­ver these by·reading the b00k.However, the Hen ill Plack arementioned at on; point as having
