News Flash! A biographical documentary entitled UFO MAN is being produced by Matthew Fish, formerly of Music and Film in Motion, which is based here in Sudbury.

The film is an in-depth look at my life, focusing on all things that have made me become the person I am today.

Although it was hoped that the project was going to be completed in time for this year's Cinefest, the film won't be ready until next year. Additional shooting for the documentary is scheduled for this summer. Stay tuned! :)


Brent Holland, myself and Matthew Fish

In 2008, the following photos were taken by Marc Duchesne and Michel Ranger while on a camping trip across the Mattawa River.

If you look closely at the second photograph, you will notice that the camera has captured an unusual object in the sky. It was only after the film was developed that the photographer noticed the saucer-shaped craft above the hills in the distance. He never saw the object when he took the photo.

Replica Roswell I-Beam designed by the Marcel family - LIMITED


I-beam replica and Jesse Marcel Jr.

On Wednesday, February 10, 2010, I received an interesting parcel in the mail. I recently purchased a replica of the I-beam that Jesse Marcel Jr. remembers handling when he was eleven years old, way back in 1947. In early July of that year, his father, Jesse Marcel Sr., Intelligence officer of the 509th Bomb Wing at the Roswell, New Mexico air base, brought in some pieces of wreckage purported to be the remnants of a crashed flying saucer found on a ranch, seventy-five miles northwest of Roswell.

On one side of the I-beam are purple-colored symbols representing "something that means something", as Jesse Marcel Sr. stated during a 1978 television interview.

On Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009, I was a guest lecturer at Thorneloe University in a class entitled "Dimensions of the Paranormal". I gave a Powerpoint presentation in front of 50 - 60 students which consisted of mostly young women and six guys. It was a lot of fun and the feedback was real good! Hope to go back, sometime.

In October 2009, I received a message on Facebook from a woman who claimed to have taken photos of three unusual upside-down teardrop-shaped objects over a Valley East field in September. The following is the information she gave about the sighting, including the three photos she took:

"Hi, I just uploaded 3 pictures taken yesterday, Saturday September 19/09 in the vicinity of Sudbury Ontario. Can anyone tell me what this is? I thought maybe it was some sort of balloon so I called a local farm and asked if they used balloons for any reason. The woman told me that yes, some farms did. She proceded to tell me that her and her staff had also witnessed exactly what I described on Saturday as well and that the majority of her staff was freaked out saying it was a UFO. She told me that farm balloons are mainly tied down where this one clearly was not and that they are closer to the ground to fend off birds. She could not explain what it was saying she had never seen anything like it before. After snapping these pics and a short video we drove about 10 minutes farther up the road and seen another hovering. It was stationary although windy then would move against the wind. A second one quickly appeared for about 5 minutes then was gone in a flash..I'm confused and curious!!"

"They were silver balls with a cone shaped bottom..They were just hovering there then they would move straight up then sideways then down...weirdest thing I've ever seen. The 1st one we seen was alone then about 10 minutes down the road we pulled over when we spotted another, then all of a sudden there was a second one. We watched for a bit but the second one disappeared...I have a few pictures, not the clearest but I will post them this week."



UFOs over Valley East - September 19, 2009

Wednesday, July 15, 2009 - Page 12

On the weekend of July 11-13, 2009, I spent some time in Blind River and the Mississagi River Indian Reserve, looking into reports of UFO sightings, and as I might have expected, we saw unusual lighted objects on two consecutive nights. One of them was captured on video, using a camera that is being used to film a documentary about yours truly.

We also came away with some Bigfoot reports...and we were even taken to "Bigfoot Country", as the elders call it. Rocky outcrops surrounded by hundreds of acres of thick bush describes a perfect environment for the possibility that Bigfoot might be residing there.

We also found out that Lake Duborne, located just a few miles north of Blind River, is also known as the UFO Hot Spot of all Ontario. It turns out that J. Allen Hynek is the one to have coined that term and his favorite destination was Lake Duborne. In fact, his camp is still there and is being used exclusively by his son and members of some scientific association. With all the UFO activity in the area, I am not surprised at all that he would choose this area as a vacation spot.

UFO Disclosure and Planetary Directions Symposium
