I received a phone call fro� Clive Nadden, from OtGawa, a UFO researcher.

He has been going through the Naticnal �esearch Council files loo�ing for reports

of UFO 1 s,l ::e has found a fair nuoc7r of reports, AnJ rs-corts he finds from this

area he will send to me, in return for further investigation by this group.

Ho_t::€ fully he will find some locally.

This past weekend I attended a Holistic Fair in Kitchener and was fortunate

to view bvo "Crystal Skulls" - one called "Max", brought from Houston, Texas, and

the other one located in Ki tchener. An article follows _t::€rtaining to the Crystal

Skull in Kitchener. One explanation for the skull is that it was left behind

by a civilization su�rior to ours, once you have read the article you will know

why this is a very valid explanation. Also folloviing are photos which are as

legible as they can be.

��ARCEtl v1as a fledgeling organization in November 1()7R, having just rrai led out its first journal anrl was the recipient of �uch mail from interested and cLrious persons. little did we know, when we answered an inquiry with a lot of questions about our �otiv2t­ior. and goals that we vtould he handed the ufologic�l story or hoax of all times.

Pfter exchan�ing three letters with a 0entleman in Tennessee, �e received fro� him a

letter in mid December 1978 that came with an �x10 glossy print of a lot of debris and the charred rerrains of some type of body. The accompanying letter extolled our vit-tues that the�riter approved of and co�plained of the shortcomings of other organizations. �,ost cryptically, the letter contained a challenge to identify the contents of the photo.

�e promptly fired off a letter giving our 9uess that it showed the remains of a light aircraft crash and its burned pilot. The response came in ear J� .January 1_ 7 9 ir. the form of a three page, typed-single spaced letter detail inq a fant�stic od,ssey of a young Navy photographer flown to Mexico in 1948 as part of a team to �ocument the crash of a SO-foot diaf11eter ''flying saucer11 and its dead pilot. A. fantastic adventure unfold­ed in those three pages ending with the writers concern for his own security sirce he was still in the service and fearful of prosecution for breaches of security.

\:'e responrfed vi! �1-. c·L'r 2ssurances of anonymity for th.e snurce and expressed c.ur dcubt that he would ever be prosecuted.

In mid-�arch 1 9 7 9 we receivec 2ncther three-p�ge letter reiteratfn0 his concerns over prosecution, detailing the episode in more details, and givin0 us personal data upon which to check out his credentials.

For the next sever2l months, we proceeded to check into the man's hack9round ana everything checked out exactly as he had sa:d.

We kept the print lyins around MftRCEN offices and periodically s�cwed it to visitors and asked their opinion of its contents without revealin9 what it purported to show. �o one was very i�pressed with the photo, not even the few to whom we revealed what it was supposed to be. �ost were disappointed that the dehris looked earthly b�t no one could describe what unearthly debris should look like.

By October 1g79 we told the source what we had learned and si9ned an 3Qreernent to keep his identity secret.

In the meantime, we had microscopic and microdensitometer tests made on the print and found no evidence of double exposure or pasteu� photoqra�hy.

By the end of November 1979, the source respon�ed by sending us the negative from \•lhich the print was made and an acceptance of cur a9reement. �·!e had agreed that v1e would �se a os donym in corresronding with the source to further protect �is identity in c2se MARCEN's internal security was breached.

In early 15�0 we made the other members cf the organizins com�ittee of the Co2lition 0f Ccncernerf Ufoloqists uv!are of our possession and sent them Xerox copies o� the print while we had the negative analyzed by Kodak and other laboratories.

The conclusion of Eastman �adak, which we initially felt was of dubious value hecause of the me tho do 1 o g y used , p o i n ted to a neg a t i v e. p r c c e s sed a t 1 e as t }0 yea r s p rev i o t' s 1 y . �icrodensitometer traces of the neqative shov;ed us that no del iterate hoaxinq had been rfone, at least photograp�i <l .. �, in thE oroduction of the negative.

-

In May 19PO the source sent us the second ne9ative showing the body lying in vege­t a t i on on a h i 1 1 s i de . 8 y n ov1 we had be $1 n be l i e v i n q t h i s fan t 2 s t i c s to rv � at 1 e as t oartially and asked for more details and his nermission to make the photos and part af the story public as � joint release of the coalition.

In August 1?80 t he source gave his permission and warned of the pcssible consea­uences of such a release. Little did he know or visu�l ize the exr-losicn that ,_,,ould really

come or who would detonate it.

The coalition organizers recognized the significance of the story and decided that the best course would be to release the nictures to the ouhlic. It was honed that t�is acticn would give everyone a chance to see the photos so that if thev were a hoax nr mis-

4 ..

identificarion, someone would be able to set u� straight. it was also ho�ed that the pub-lication of the photos would encourage others with evidence they may have been hoarding to come forvJard.

P r i n t s we r e r:: ad e f rom the neg a t i v e s an d the act u a 1 neg a t i v e s "''e r e s u b m i t t e c1 to r, r o u n r Saucer '"atch for extensive computer analysis . . Just prior to the coalition oraanizational meeting on Auguit 22, the photos were released to the Associated Press in two

-areas an�

numerous newspapers and broadcast stations. The next several weeks were bedlam as the medi2 cla�ored for more information and the coalition officers were kept busy with radio and television interviews.

All of the public attention over the photos was expected to generate jealousy from other segments of the ufological community who were pushed out of the 1 imel iqht. It reared its head in the form of condemnation, snubbing and outright lies and character assassination of the coalition members involved and the entire Coalition of Concerned Ufolo�ists.

Ninety days later the hullabaloo had not abated as the wrath of the ufoloqical h irarchy intensified when various tabloids publicized the photos and story.

'·'as it worth all of the hassle \r.Je were subjected to and what do \tJe think of the phctos and story now?

Universally condemned as hoaxes by skeptics and establishment ufologists alike, the photos remain unidentified. No legitimate explanation has emer9.ed and not even a plausible theory that can hold up. There has been no lack of attempts at explaining away the veracity of the photos but none have even held up more than a week.

It has been suggested that the photographer was duped when he took the photos and was told it was a UFO to cover up some sinister testing failure of the U.S. Government. I cannot buy that theory any more than I can accept that anyone would perpetrate a hoax in 194 and wait three decades to spring it on the public. It has also been sugaested that some �e�bers of the coalition were responsible for the photos but the proble� here is trat since the aqe of the photos was so old(also confirmed by GSW) the ages of these coalition members would have ranged from not born to nine years old. �e don't think so ...

No I personally believe that these photos and the story surrounding them are either completely authentic as told by our source or it is a complete hoax perpetrated in a sop­histicated manner that has thus far defied detection and for reasons thus far unknown.

There are problems with the case that we have just learned as this report was being printed. In an attempt to convince the source to release �ore of the 40 �ore negatives he says he has, we sent a representative to the current address to which we have been commun­icating with him in San Antonio, Tx. only to learn he did not live there but was known.

�/e have since learned that this was a mail dr.op used by the source to protect his actual identity even from us and that the name we knew him by and checked out was actually the name of another member of the photographic team that supposedly documented the tJFn crash and who has since died.

Ve received another call from the source and he stated that he will be in Pashinc_:1ton, O.C. on Thanksgiving and will meet with us and \"'ill reveal and prove his true identity and will bring more of his negatives.

We know we are dealing with presuma�ly career military man very fearful of prosecution fo� his transgressions in this affair who is doinc his best to remain anonymous and who has presented us with a story and supporting evidence that has not been disproven yet no matter how hard anyone has tried. l·lhen the final verdict is in, we will make it kno\-m to the entire ufological field. Until then we can only say that we strongly believe but honestly do r.ot know.

The following facts and photos wil 1 allow the reader to form his or her own judgements. Sincerely,

Walter H. Andrus, international direc­tor of the Mutual UFO Network, said that despite Jimmy Carter's campaign promises the government has refused to relea se much of its information about UFOs. .

Many NASA scientists were among the crowd attending the symposium which Andrus sai d was more technical than most of the group 's annual meetings.

.. We take this very seriously," Andrus said. There is no doubting the existen� of UFOs, he said, "But where are ·they from? We don•t know. The mo!it exciting a nswer is they are extra terrestrial visitors."

Here is a transcription of parts of Len Stringfield's talk before Th e Cleveland Ufology Project on Sept-20th-1980. His subject was "What I Can't Talk About: Fact: Bodies of Ufo Occupants Are In Liquid Nitrogen Yet This Is Above Top Secret." From read­ing this report you would now be aware of the fact that Mr. Stringfield is referring to alien body photos now positively identified as being from Ancient Astronauts Mag­azine November 1977 issue. It is important to note how he goes about presenting this case and the claims he makes, in the light of the other documented material we have presented to you in this report. There is no violation of privacy in presenting this. material to you, as Th e Cleveland Ufology Project was open to the public and not a private affair. At no time was anyone requested not to tape record th e meeting. In the fact that there h as been no distortion and the transcription is completely authentic we feel researchers must have this information available to them so they may read wh at we are dealing with and proof of th e actual claims Mr. Stringfield is making, in regards to his h aving alien body photos in his possession.

After stat i n g t he p hoto s were not h i s , and t hat he recei ved t hem a fter many mont hs of negot iat io n s , he goes on to s ho w his a l ien body p hotos i n t he form of s l i des .

I saucer hi ing

------�dies? ttl '•

� By CHARLES TRACY

Aviation Writer Flying saucer wreckage and bo­

dies of occupants, killed when the saucers crashed to earth, are being preserved at W right-Patterson Air Force Base, according 1o a veteran investigator of unidentified flying objects.

Leonard H. Stringfield, Cincinnati advertising executive and author, revealed details of the secret to the Cleveland Ufology Project at a re­cent meeting. Stringfield is highly respected by leaders in the UFO world.

C. Wesley Fitch. a Cleveland ufo­logy historian for 25 years, said Stringfield's lecture was entitled: "What I Can't Talk About." Accord­ing to Fitch, Stringfield said bodies of UFO occupants are preserved in liquid nitrogen and this fact is clas­sified above top secret by the military. -

"If his word isn't good, nobody's is," Fitc h said of the Cincinnati ·

investfiator. Stringfield explained that in some

cases portions of the saucers as well as bodies of the occupants were re­trieved by the military. and are be­ing kept in storage in their custody. He said it is rumored that these rel­ics are stored at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton.

Stringfield said he had a total of 18 first-hand sources of information that are familiar with various UFO

crashes and he is investigating them in an effort to determine their au­thenticity. The sources are both ci­vilian and military, he said.

The lecturer screened several slides which he said were from infra red photographs taken of the bodies

-of the UFO occupants. He believes the photos are genuine and is at­tempting to trace their history.

Fitch said the photos appeared similar to X-ray films, showing di­rectly through the ·bodies rather than their surface appearance. He said they did not give a very good image of what the beings looked like.

Stringfield authored a 1977 book entitled: "Situation Red: the UFO Siege," and a 1980 book: "The UFo Crash/Retrieval Syndrome."

Two original b &w negatives were sub mitted to G SW for computer photographic analysis. The negatives, although extremely age- dated, contain photographic images of a severely b urned humanoid- like creature I animal l ying on the gr ound and what appears to b e wreakage, consisting of twisted metal.

Alth ough G SW's computerized enhancement techniques works well on ph otographs of purported UFOs, only some sparse data can b e gleaned from photographic images, rel atively close to the camera, of the conventional v ariety. When analyzing photos of UFOs, such items as v erification of the time of day based on image shadows is obtainab le, detail s of lumen dispersion, information on surface reflectivity and the approximation of distance-to-camera based on the efforts of the atmosphere to groupings of pix els [ p ict u re cell s] .

All major modes of computeriz ed enhancement were utilized, with the exception of color contouring, including h igh resolution av eraging to gain further inform ation. The following was obtained after a careful review of the negativ es:

It is the consensus of the GSW photographic review staff that the photographs in question represent a misinterpretation of a nor mal laboratory monkey ( either a rh esus or orangutan) that h as been badly burned and partially dismembered. If the narrative portion of this purported UFO incident is accurate, there are grave im­plications to the origin of this crash /accident. If the incident actually d id occur as re­ported, which is a reasonable assumption, then it indicates that the U. S . G overnment was illegally testing rock ets in cross-state firings, i. e. , rock et launching in New Mex ico ( White S ands) and cross-launching into T exas over populous areas.

It is k nown that the U. S . G overnment was firing rock ets and monkeys ( pre­space development) into space for experimentation purposes. We know th at the govern­ment /military h as h ad numerous failures, especially in the early days of rock et d evelop­ment ( after WWII)

T h e questions now arise about all of th e purported crashed saucer incid ents. Why, after all these years are "crashed saucer" ph otographs surfacing ?

0 Why would any trained anthropo ;gist even remotely consider pictures of this

calibre to be connected with an alien creature? Are these photograph s, and similar o nes, being disseminated fo r mis-information purposes?

If the answers to the above questions are based on a plot to filter misinformatio n t o the body politic and ufo researchers to cover the onvious sinister motives o f go vern­ment wro ng-d oings, then all of the valid crashed saucer cases make logical sense. T he reasons for the securi ty was the location of the crashes, i. e. , off of military bases o r testing areas, as opposed t o the actuality of the incident.

It i s of little con cern t h at some monk eys were killed as h undred s of test animals are k illed every d ay for reasons ranging from warfare development to medical research . What is important is the fact the U. S . G overnment was firing rock ets o ver po pulous areas and luckily they never k illed or injured a high q uantity o f that same p o pul

G S W h as copied the negatives onto o ur co mputer d iscs and will co ntact additio nal z oologi sts and quantify our measurements for absolute id entificatior .. of the creature. H owever, at this time there is not o ne d ata p oint to even suggest that an alien creature was attributable to the imagery o n the analyz ed negatives.

'Pro o f� or not ;

decide for yours elf Cincinnati man s tands behind 1 948 photos C I N C I N NATI < AP ) - Charles

Wilhelm, who has devoted most of his free time during the last 20 years to studying unidentified flying objects, said Tuesday that he has proof aliens ha ve visited Earth.

Wilhelm released two previously un­published pictures which he said show the remains of an alien spaceman who crashed in Mexico, about 30 miles south of Laredo, Texas, in July 1948.

He said the pictures were taken by a Navy photographer who was assigned to document the crash.

' 'I am more of a skeptic than I am believer. We feel these photographs are authentic," Wilhelm said. The pictures show what appears to be a charred human-like form with a head propor­tionately larger than the rest of the body.

.

Wilhelm said the photographer refused to reveal his name because the pictures could be traced. ''The man is still in the military, and he's waiting to see how much harassment he gets," Wilhelm said.

Wilhelm also released what he said was a censored memo written by ti1e photographer. ' ' I do feel that it is my duty to warn you that once you begin the dissemination of the photos, you may find yourself the subject of harassment and even a buse, perhaps by an agency of the government that you never even suspected existed, " it said.

" I had to cut up one negative because there are recognizable persons still alive gathered around the body that I had to censure out. "

Wilhelm said that by using the Freedom of Information Act to gather

�material , members of the Coalition of Concerned Ufologists of America have documented a government coverup of alien visits .

' 'There are a lot o f documents I FBin CIA, Army, Air Force, Navy. Anybody

can get them. You just have to know what you' re looking for," he said.

"We've compiled 15,000 pages to prove that Uncle Sam is still engaged in UFO research, even though they say they shut down their UFO operation in 1969.

"There have been numerous crashes over the years. Some spacecraft that landed because of malfunctions have been retrieved fully intact. ' '

"The government denies that they have alien bodies in their possession, but we have testimony from former military personnel who saw them. We've talked to a couple of pathologists who did autopsies on the bodies. ' '

Wilhelm, :rl , a machinist who lives in Fairfield, said he saw his first UFO in

Louisville, Ky. , when he was six years old.

"I've bad quite a few, but nothing really spectacular," he said. "Of all the sightings I 've bad, the closest one was 200 feet away."

Wilhelm said that occurred in Fair­field in 1974. He and his wife, Geri, otr served a cigarshaped, 200-foot-long alien craft for three to five minutes before it new away, be said.

Wilhelm said be's never seen an alien, but believes there has been com­munication between aliens and people· on Earth. He thinks the alien encounter portrayed in the movie "Close En­counters of the Third Kind" was unrealistic and only "impressive from a Hollywood standpoint."

Two photographs - taken in Mexico over 30 years ago - hast � caused quite a stir in the Ufological Community.

The photographs, released for the first time this week by a Cin­cinnati man,shows the remains of an alien spaceman who crashed in Mexico, about 30 miles south of Laredo, Texas, in July 1948. The photos were reportedly taken by a Navy photographer assigned to document the crash.

Now, Dennis Pill chis of the UFO Information Network in Rome, Ohio, will be bringing the photos and presentation to the Saturday, Sept. 13 meeting of the Tri-County UFO Study Group.

The meeting will begin at 7 : 30 p . m . at the Lakeside Pines Restaurant in North Benton < on alternate Route 14 north of Se-bring > . The meeting is open to the public. .

Pilichis' organization belongs to the Coalition of Concerned Ufologis\5 of America. It is one of the coalition member.groups that have aff'lmavits on file related to the 1948 crash case.

The steering committee of the coalition consists of Pilichis, Charles J. Wilhelm of the Ohio UFO Investigators League in Fair­field, Ohio, and Williard Mcintyre of the Mutual Anomaly Research Center and Evaluation Network located in Washington D.C.

Pilichis said the story as documented so far relate that an object was tracked on radar moving across the Southwest at high speeds - higher than any known aircraft of the day - on July 7, 1948. The

object ran into trouble and crashed to the surface in Mexico. Military personnel and a professional photographer documented

the scene, but the photos were concealed for more than 30 years un­til the photographer felt compelled to leak them to the Ufological Community.

Pilichis said that tests done on the original negatives have shown them to have been processed at least 30 years ago, and more com puter enhancement tests are now being conducted to further con­firm the validity of the negatives. They have already survived minute examination by microdensitometer techniques.

One of the personal projects of Pili chis and his group has been to research and document similar incidents through the Freedom of Informa tion Act, and now has on file in Rome over 10,000 pages of

documents from various governmental departments relating to the UFO phenomena.

One document thato-will also be on display at the UFO meeting, along with the two photos, relates another possible overflight and crash of a mysterious object in 1949.

In a special memo da ted January 3 1 , 1949, to the Chief of Staff USAF Director of Special Investigations, an overflight of an object in New Mexico was seen by at least 30 different people. The object was seen and reported from El Paso, Al�uerque, Alamogordo, R054well, Socorro, and other locations. All reports appeared to be of the same object at different points in its trajectory

Pilichis - along with Wilhelm and James Rastetter of the 'J!i­County UFO Study Group in Sebring - have formed � sta�w1de network known as the UFO Ohio Research Cc- Operative. This pr� ject is dedicated to organization, documentation and distribution of reliable UFO and related da ta to members through the UFO Ohio Newsletter Journal. This publication goes out to people in the United Sta tes and 16 other countries.

For more information, send .. communications to Pilichis at the UFO Information Network, P . O. Box 5012, Rome, Ohio, 44085. For more information on the U FO meeting in North Benton, call Rastetter at 938-9167.
