The
truth is (still) out there somewhere
Since
March, I've received approximately eight UFO reports,
four of which were the direct result of projector-type
lights being reflected off the clouds at Sudbury Downs
where the new casino is located. But the remaining four
involve some pretty interesting observations.
•
May 6 - Three Sudburians watched as a white light moved
from north to south then south to north before disappearing.
The sighting lasted 90 minutes. One of the witnesses and
a friend had had two previous sightings during late February-early
March over and around the Ramsey Lake area.
•
April 22 and May 7 - A large triangular pattern of three
bright lights moving across the sky in a wide curve is
seen on two separate nights by members of the same family,
while stargazing with the aid of a telescope.
•
June 27 - An acting fire chief and a friend, returning
from camp near Mattawa, witnessed an unusual object moving
above the treeline, described as triangular in shape with
a curved or boomerang-shaped rear. All they saw was the
underside of it where there was an array of eight coloured
lights, four of which formed a diamond-shaped pattern
near the front.
They
estimated its distance at less than 200 feet away and
about 100 feet above the ground. The object was moving
in a south-north direction and there was absolutely no
sound coming from it. The sighting lasted between 10 and
15 seconds.
•
July 20 - A Dowling resident reported that at around 10:20
pm, he saw a blue light that exploded within seconds of
being seen. Half a second later, a large, bright ball
of light appeared from nowhere and hung there for a few
seconds before vanishing.
In
the past few days, it has become more apparent to me that
despite having a large number of acquaintances who are
UFO eyewitnesses themselves, there are still a lot of
people who don't know who I am, or how long I've been
dealing with this subject.
Because
of this, they are reluctant to report their sightings,
perhaps thinking that I'm just some delusional fool who
just appeared out of nowhere overnight, doesn't know what
he's talking about, and won't believe what they are reporting
as UFOs, therefore saying that I am not at all "legit."
I take offense to this kind of thinkling.
Many
Sudburians are apparently not aware that since 1991, I've
been interviewed 28 times by both local and provincial
media, including MCTV Today, TVOntario and an appearance
on the Camilla Scott Show. Nor are they aware that my
name has been mentioned in American publications more
than once, both in print and on the Internet. I've also
been interviewed on Strange Days, a two-hour UFO program
which airs every Sunday evening between 9 and 11 pm via
the Internet and shortwave radio and is hosted by two
of my colleagues in Toronto.
I
can also remind them that since 1974, I've had 16 sightings
of my own, so I'm not as skeptical as some people may
have pegged me to be.
Since
most of the local radio stations no longer do interviews,
I've been forced to use the press as a means by which
to inform the public of my existence and the work that
I have done for the past 22 years in regards to UFOs and
Flying Saucers.
My
thanks also go out to the staff at Laurentian University's
radio station, CKLU 96.7 FM who are gracious enough to
give me the opportunity to co-host a live half-hour program
on UFOs, which airs locally evey second Friday morning
between 9:30 and 10 am.
I
suppose I'm partly (if not entirely) responsible for the
public's apparent lack of awareness about me or my research.
But that's about to change! I plan to give many more lectures
on the subject, presenting information about UFOs and
Flying Saucers that the public isn't aware of.
For
more information, or if you wish to report a sighting,
please contact me by dialing 670-2759 or e-mailing me
