It had a small what seemed like exhaust port in the back giving off what looked like gaseous vopour. The other objects were small in size and were spread out in a straight line across the sky. They were blue with a red ring around the middle. Both the large and small objects were stationary in the sky. I am not sure of their intentions as there was this giant burning ring of some type of dark liquid that had a silver shine to it came very close to our car. When I looked at the light source underneath the object. I had to squint very hard to see the blue rings. As it flew directly over top of our car. I think I was exposed to some sort of short-wave ultra-violet light. For about the next three hours my eyes burned so bad that I could not open them. And the water was running out of my eyes like a waterfall. Falcon Lake, Canada; May 20, 1967 Stephen Michalak is shown here in his hospital bed.  He claimed that a UFO landed near him while prospecting in the Falcon Lake  area. Curious, he touched the object with his gloved hand.  At that moment, the object let out a blast of heat as it left the earth.  The pattern of dots on his abdomen matched the ventilation, or exhaust grill from which the blast of heat emanated. Craig, who gave this case serious, objective consideration, investigated the incident.  You can read the Condon report on this incident at http://ncas.sawco.com/condon/text/case22.htm Craig identified the man as "Mr. A" and never revealed his actual name. Here is the abstract that can be found attached to Investigator Craig's case report: "A weekend prospector claimed that a "flying saucer" landed near him in the woods, and that when he approached the object and touched it with his gloved hand, it soared away, its exhaust blast leaving a patterned burn on his abdomen and making him ill.  Events during and subsequent to a field search for the landing site cast strong doubt upon the authenticity of the report." NOTES: I would like to add one final note here. These UFOs have an electromagnetic signature, often in the IF (infrared) range. My research reveals that they can generate wavelengths anywhere on the electromagnetic spectrum. This would range from audio waves to the ultra-dynamic and highly radioactive end of the spectrum, especially those particles that meet or exceed light frequencies and their respective wave lengths. It would follow that the Michalak case supports this hypothesis.  One other point I would like to make is that there seems to be a correlation between radioactive ore and UFO apparitions. I would also like to mention that the Canadian government took this case much more seriously than the Condon team.  They claimed to have found significant radioactive signatures near the landing site.  Condon investigators found only small amounts of radiation, close to what was considered normal background levels.

EVERY DOG ON THE LAKE WAS HOWLING AND BARKING FOR THE ENTIRE 1.5 HOUR EVENT SO I WOULD THINK THAT OTHERS WERE AWAKENED... I READ A BIT ABOUT THIS LAKE AND I GUESS THERE WERE LARGE METAL OBJECTS DROPPED INTO IT A WHILE BACK AGO TO HELP THE ph OR SOMETHING... ALL I KNOW IS THAT THEY CERTAINLY WERE ATTRACTED TO MY CAMERA'S SIGNAL.... ALSO, I ACCIDENTALLY LEFT MY IPOD WHICH TRANSMITS AN FM SIGNAL TO A RADIO RUNNING FOR MOST OF THE TIME WHILE THIS EVENT WAS OCCURRING... I FEEL LIKE THAT WAS THE STEADY SIGNAL THAT MAYBE THEY WERE TRACKING BUT THE IPOD AT SOME POINT DIED B/C IT WAS OFF BY THE TIME I WENT AND GRABBED IT... AFTER THIS THEY WOULD COME CLOSER EACH OF THREE TIMES THAT I TURNED ON MY CAMERA...THEY CAME VERY QUICKLY AND I WOULD TURN THAT THING OFF RIGHT AWAY... AT TIMES THEY WOULD MOVE EXTREMELY FAST AND CHANGE DIRECTION UNLIKE ANY PLANE.. AT ONE POINT A PLANE DID PASS AND THEY HUDDLED TOGETHER AND GOT FURTHER AWAY...THEY CAME BACK ONCE THE PLANE WAS GONE... MAINLY THE EVENT CONSISTED OF 4 OBJECTS OFTEN IN THE TRIANGULAR FORMATION OFTEN MOVING AROUND SOMETIMES FAST OTHER TIMES SLOW... THEY WOULD ALWAYS RETURN TO THAT FORMATION EVENTUALLY.... HOWEVER AT ONE POINT BUT OF US NOTICED THAT THERE WERE AT LEAST 6 IF NOT MORE OBJECTS MOVING... MOST OF THE TIME JUST THE 4 THOUGH...

This next report may give us a clue as to the energy being propagated by the proverbial UFO. The object first appeared as a bright sphere. It was much larger than the moon, so astronomical bodies can be ruled out. When viewed by binoculars there wasn't any visible structure. It was hovering above a hill two or three miles away from the reporters. Cones of brilliant light were coming out of the sphere, from both the top and the bottom. "The radio was blacked-out.  One of the witnesses was on electronics engineer and tried a short-wave receiver he had, but all wavelengths were blocked except one...where a strong signal was received. It was rapidly modulated like Morse code, but it was not Morse code. Fifteen minutes later the sphere took off and the radio worked again." 7. Loc Cit This particular report has been published in several works, including a description published by A. Mebane as well as Aime Michel. It has not failed to mystify and puzzle UFO Investigators and may be one of the most important clues that we have about these phenomenon.. ===================================== DATE: October 21, 1954 LOCATION: in route to Pouzou, France WITNESSES: One adult, One 3 y/o child SOURCE: Vallee, Jacques (Loc Cit)7. Driver from Cherbonnieres in route to Pouzou, suddenly feels a prickling sensation over his entire body. Older witness compared it to "electrical discharge." Prickly sensation increases in intensity, becoming more painful as he continues driving. Child began crying. Automobile engine dies as do the headlights. It was at that time that the driver sees "a bright, glowing red color changing to orange, soon becoming of a blinding intensity." The object hovered for a moment then disappeared. "He was then able to start his engine." Vallee, Loc Cit ===================================== DATE:October 14, 1954(?) TIME: 8:50 pm LOCATION: On the road between St.-Romain-sous-Gourdon to Brosses-Tillots, Saone-et-Loire, France WITNESSES:Motorcycle rider SOURCE Vallee, (loc cit) While enroute to Brosses-Tillots, motorcycle engine stops and could not be restarted again. He gets off the bike, and sees "a bright light burst out about fifty-yards in front of him, revealing a circular object." The reporter says that it looked like "a plate turned upside down." Frightened and amazed, he turns the bike around and begins walking the bike back the way he came. When he got to the spot where the engine failed, it started up again. ==================================== DATE:October 14, 1954 TIME7:30 pm LOCATION Route D-25 at Chazey Wood, Fr WITNESSES: 2 SOURCE: Vallee, (loc cit) While enroute to Gueugnon from Clessy, the reporters were crossing a wooded area they call Chazey Wood. A "reddish glow" flew over their car at a high rate of speed. The witness states "All at once the motor stopped and we had no lights. After a few seconds, when the light shed by the ball had gone out in the distance on our left, the headlights came on. I pushed the starter , and the motor began to turn over again." ISRAEL:: "UFO Landing Event" 1. Hannan Sabat (ICFUFOR) writes, "Here is the report concerning a UFO landing, which occurred between Sunday and Monday on November 28, 2005. The event occurred in one of the agricultural settlements, between the city of Ramla and the Lod International Airport (central Israel). At 01:30, the witness’s daughter went to take a shower and heard noises coming from the yard. She turned the lights in the yard on, but she didn't see anything unusual. Dogs were heard barking about 2:30 AM. After 7 AM, the witness’s wife discovered elliptic signs of imprinting in the yard in hard pressed coarse sand and small stones. The woman called her husband, and he called the police. The police send a team of scouts, and then the police called Mr. Abi Greif (chairman of ICFUFOR)." At first, the dogs didn't want to approach the imprinting, and avoided entering the area. The police scouts, checked the house and its surroundings, but didn't find any clues. They indicated in their report, that it is a case of a UFO, that came from above and probably left in the same direction. They couldn't decide what this object was. Any signs of an object brought there by someone, or signs of a dune buggy or any other vehicles, were rejected by the police. I (Hannan Sabat) arrived to the area about 11 PM, and with the witness’s help checked the area and photographed the imprinting using a T70 CANON camera, and an AGFA color film, ASA-200). The imprint is about 1.5 – 2 meters in diameter and has an oval elliptic shape. Extensions, turning outside, where found in the surrounding of the central spiral shape. The imprinting was shallow, about 1-2 centimeters in depth. The imprinting was brighter than the soil around it and some stones were pulled out. Next to the main imprinting, a deep ditch was seen. It was about 10 cm deep and 1-1.5 meters in length. The ditch wasn't seen there before. New soot marks were found on a telephone pole near the ditch. One of the pole's devices was covered with “V”-shape marks" New soot marks were found on a telephone pole near the ditch. One of the pole's devices was covered with “V”-shape marks. The second device (colored metal-gray), was covered with some soot. Some of the grass near the imprinting was covered with a gray dusty material (and thin sand). A plastic rope was found stuck to itself. I took 35 pictures, and the witness made a video footage Thanks to ICFUFOR – Israel Center for UFO’s Research HTTP:// WWW.GEOCITIES.COM/ICFUFOR footage is (c) 2005 ICFUFOR http://www.hbccufo.org/videos/landingsitevideo_28112005Clip2._new.wmv 2.

I watched the glow for a couple of minutes and went back to listening to the radio and drinking my beer. About 25 minutes later, the glow went totally black, and at the same time my neighbors security lights went out. The lights stayed off for about two minutes, then popped back on as the glowing object also popped on at the same time. It then began to move sideways very slow until it was out of my view behind some trees. I got out of my car to watch and it changed direction and glided damn near over my house. It had a triangular shape with rounded edges, with huge windows at the top half of the craft. There was a red light under the craft but it was not flashing like a normal aircraft. It was the size of a hospital. I have been in the military and grew up near an air force base and this wasn't anything that I have seen before. "My neighbors security lights went out. The lights stayed off for about two minutes, then popped back on as the glowing object also popped on at the same time..." ARIZONA, USA - "Alien Ship" Lands In Mountains CASA GRANDE -- The witnesses viewed a saucer that landed in the mountains and took off again on December 8, 2001. The saucer was the size of an aspirin at arm's length with tan or beige exterior lights that flashed sequentially. One witness was using his cell phone at 10:04 AM, and said the devise changed station and became heated. One witness is 68, one is a 45 year old educator, and the last was a 16 year-old male. They saw a transparent dome on the top of the craft. There was transparent or invisible barrier around it. The exterior lights flashed and an emission trail was seen. There was a pulsating sound as the craft landed and took off after one minute. "One witness was using his cell phone at 10:04 AM, and said the devise changed station and became heated." LONG ISLAND, NY: "Huge egg-shaped craft"3. HICKSVILLE I was driving home from work in a snow storm when all of a sudden a saw this egg shaped oval hovering over Duffy Avenue horse farm on February 20, 2005, at 2:15 AM. It had very bright lights that went around the egg. There were many lights that seemed to be split in half shining all different directions from this huge craft. It was about the size of a baseball stadium and made no noise at all. The witness said, “My car radio went crazy when I got close to the farm and changed channels on its own very fast.” I wish I had a camera or video since it was only a couple hundred feet away. This has been my third experience seeing a craft of this nature over a span of thirty years. I’m 44 years old, a father of three, and if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would not have believed it. There is nothing in our Earth that can compare to this object. It moved much faster in any direction than anything I have ever seen. The lights were much brighter than the brightest florescent light I have ever seen and it changes it self from a stadium looking craft to almost like a big metallic battle ship with different heights and levels. I hope one day to see it again. It’s weird because basically Duffy Ave is a busy road but no vehicles were out last night. Duration: 12 minutes Thanks to Peter Davenport Director http://www.nuforc.org/ The witness said, "My car radio went crazy when I got close to the farm and changed channels on its own very fast."

Conclusions References   CONDON REPORT: CASE #12 Investigators Fred Hooven and David Moyer of Ford Motor Company North Eastern; Winter 1967 http://ncas.sawco.com/condon/text/case12.htm "The witness reported four instrument malfunctions after the incident that she had not noticed before: (1) the radio was weak and full of static; (2) the speedometer read low; (3) the battery did not charge..." "After his interview with the witness, Moyer drove her car, a 1964 Comet, to Detroit, where Ford engineers and research staff investigated its condition in detail. With respect to the malfunctions reported by the witness, they found that: (1) The radio antenna had been broken off the car, so that only local stations could be heard through the background noise. (2) The fan belt, which operated the generator, was so loose that the generator was not delivering normal charging power to the battery. (3) In the speedometer, a die casting that provided alignment for the bearings had been broken, repaired, and apparently had broken again, causing bearing friction that caused the speedometer to read low. This condition was aggravated by sticky lubricant from the speedometer cable that had worked up. (4) The transmitter element of the oil gauge was malfunctioning because of electrical leakage due to corrosion." (Condon Op Cit -Hooven and Moyer, NCAS; case No. 12 One thing that Moyer failed to mention, was another case (case 17) that was very similar to this one, which had been investigated earlier  in the spring, 1967. In both cases the reporters informed the investigators that when the UFO was in close proximity to their vehicle, their automobiles began having problems. Investigator Wadsworth followed the second case. In both cases, the automobiles showed signs of advanced and rapid aging.  In both cases (Case study #17 & Case #12,) both automobiles seemed to degrade rapidly after their UFO encounters.  One theory is that these autos were subjected to warping/bending of time/space continuum, not unlike the effects that one would expect from the strong force ( See Bob Lazaar).  Evidently some force was applied to their machines that caused the accelerated aging, way beyond what would be consider normal wear and tear for the average automobile.  Whether Wadsworth (spring 1967) was informed of the Moyer case (winter 1967) remains unknown. I am determined to find out if they knew about the other cases. No one has made the connection, as far as I know. In the Ford COMET automobile, (case 12) corrosion caused electrical leakage (arc) that adversely affected the oil send switch.... (Case 17) The witness reported that "after the incident his car never recovered. Its condition worsened continually until it was beyond repair." With my advanced knowledge of automobile systems, the evidence suggests that there is a strong possibility that the engines of the two automobiles were subjected to stress, which lead to engine malfunction (e.g..-affecting electrical systems, (corrosion) bearing failure (electrical, pumps, switches etc).  That is understandable because UFO investigation was still in its infancy in 1967.    For example, the alien abduction phenomenon hadn't been identified yet, nor had Bob Lazaar come forward with what he knows about S-4 and Ar-51. CONDON REPORT: Case 17 Investigator Wadsworth South Mountain Spring 1967 http://ncas.sawco.com/condon/text/case17.htm One important aspect of Condon case #17, is how it correlates with other cases of engine failure related to UFO sightings.  This type of engine malfunction is not unique to the automobile alone, as there other conveyances affected by the confluence of the UFO. I will try to provide references to literature that I have researched for the Interference Project, as well as a small snippet of related information referenced below. THE CASE OF THE F-94 An F-94 Starfire jet had been scrambled to check on a radar blip that was classified as an "unknown" by Air Defense after a quick check confirmed that there weren't any known aircraft in the area where the object had appeared on their radarscopes. ”Guided by Ground Control, the pilot climbed steeply while his radar observer watched the rear cockpit scope. By now the pilot could actually see the unknown-a strange gleaming object moving swiftly above. Pulling into a tight climbing turn, he started to close the gap. At the same time, his radar observer started to call the unknown. There was no response. Until that moment the Starfire’s jet engine had been working perfectly. Suddenly, as the plane streaked toward the UFO, a wave of heat mysteriously filled the cockpit. It was like the blast of a furnace. Half dazed, the pilot ran his eyes over the instruments. There was no sign of trouble, but the stifling heat was increasing each second. Frantically he looked around. The radar officer’s face was a blur in the waves of heat. At any moment, it seemed that the whole plane would burst into flames. ‘Bail out – bail out!’ he shouted. He jettisoned his canopy and seized the ejection lever. He felt the jet jump as the radarman bailed out. Half blinded by sweat, he got a glimpse of the unknown machine as it passed overhead. There was one final blast of heat. He pulled the ejection lever and was hurled out of the cockpit.” The pilot watched in horror as the Starfire jet aircraft plunged headlong towards the town of Walesville, New York. The aircraft hit two buildings and then careened into a car. There were four fatalities as a result of the accident, which included two children. Reference 6 More on the Lockheed F-94 Starfire, please visit the USAF Museum NOW COMPARE THIS TO CONDON CASE #17 INVESTIGATOR WADSWORTH The eyewitness reports that the overall dimensions of the object "approximately 30 by 100 feet." He said that the object "was shaped like an inverted bowl, flat on the bottom and arched on top." Surface features were not visible, probably due to "an overall glow." "The witness also reported a sensation of intense heat coming from the object, such that he began perspiring profusely even with the car windows down. At this same time, the automobile engine began to sputter and miss, the radio and headlights went out, the ammeter indicated "discharge," and shortly afterward the temperature light indicated 'hot.'" To see the road, he used a battery-powered spotlight that was independent of the car battery. It continued to function normally." This case leaves me in a quandary. If the F94 pilots waited before they ejected, would the engines of the Starfire jet aircraft have failed like the automobile engine mentioned in Condon case #17?   CONDON REPORT: Case 39; Investigator Craig South Pacific Fall 1967 http://ncas.sawco.com/condon/text/case39.htm Investigator Craig The Condon committee received a case report from NICAP (National Investigation Committee on Aerial Phenomenon). The case was referred to them and was later assigned to Investigator Craig who was detached to the site where the alleged encounter had occurred.    On e of the nice things about this case, is that they did a very scientific and thorough job for us to examine. The data will surprise, as some of the automobiles features were affected and some were not. I have not heard anything lately about what happened to the car, or if it started to go down hill after the encounter like the others did.  (See above cases 12 and 17)  In this case, a huge object passed over the 1967 Chrysler convertible at an altitude of well over 100.    This case makes for interesting reading, and because there were magnetic deviations that were different it makes it a good baseline for other investigations. In my opinion this was probably the first auto where the investigative team found that there may be electromagnetic affects from a u.f.o.. If there are, the evidence shows that the signature variation was not as strong as one would expect, unless the EmP is a result of systems powered by either fusion or fissionable matter.   See comparison chart that I made to reference tables 6-7 for case 39  posted on our website here http://uforc.com/NCAS/Condon_Tables6-7_SoPac67Case39.htm Shapes of UFOs and Ionization5. By Maj. George Filer Reports and images of UFOs come in all shapes and sizes, with odd shaped lights, disks, cylinders and triangles being most frequently reported. The true fundamental shape of the UFO may be concealed or distorted by the ionization of the air around the UFOs. I saw a UFO coming out of water like a submarine with blue and green ionization surrounding the disk. NASA engineers Paul Hill and James Mc Campbell suggested this was caused by the propulsion system of the craft. The craft I saw seemed highly electrically charged. Photo thanks to Scott in Las Vegas "An ion is an atom or group of atoms with a net electric charge. A negatively charged ion, which has more electrons in its electron shell than it has protons in its nucleus, is known as an anion, for it is attracted to anodes, and a positively charged ion, which has fewer electrons than protons, is known as a cation (pronounced cat-eye-on), for it is attracted to cathodes. An ion with a single atom is a monatomic ion and an ion with more than one is a polyatomic ion. The process of converting into ions and the state of being ionized is called ionization. The recombining of ions and electrons to form neutral atoms is called recombination. A collection of non-aqueous ions, or even a gas containing a proportion of charged particles, is called a plasma, which is called the fourth state of matter because its properties are quite different from solids, liquids, and gases. The US is working on an ion engine for its spacecraft. Thanks to the Free Encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionization#_blank Smells in the air often reported during sightings suggest ionization. Imaging by various types of cameras also indicate an ionization of the atmosphere around the craft. Air ionization also explains the diversity of colors. The Nevada article shows what happens as different air molecules are excited at different energy levels. Some of these craft glow like electric and neon signs similar to what happens with aurora borealis. Video and photographs show a distortion of the shape. Exceptionally, high speed objects tend to distort shape in the camera. Another possibility is the shape may be concealed or distorted by space-time distortions arising from an anti-gravity propulsion system. An advanced technology or an unknown phenomena could explain many of the 500 or so reports we receive each month. ADD TO THE DISCUSSION!
