Paranormal Time (1/27/08)

Here is a quick synopsis of the latest UFO news............

Firstly, the reporter who broke the UFO news story in Stephenville, Texas which got so much mainstream press has left her job. At the bottom of this email I pasted a brief synopsis by a reporter from the Herald Tribune which I think provides a good balance. ....interesting...........

Secondly, a new book recently came out which researched that more US military aircraft crashed domestically in 1952 by far, than in any other year and the number even rivals crashes in war time Korea. This is also the year we had the most UFO sightings and the military publically declared we would shoot UFO's down on sight. Coincidence? You'll have to read the book, it's called - "Shoot them Down" and is available on Amazon, although I hear it's kind of boring unless you are really into the stuff.

Finally, I just finished the famous New York Times Best Seller from the 1990's - "The Day After Roswell". This book was written by an army intelligence officer who had a very distinguished career. He worked as an intelligence officer in Germany, the Pentagon, and later he worked for Strom Thurmond among others. As far as I can tell and from everything I've read on this book, there is not a significant reason to not believe what Corso wrote, except for the fact that it is scary and completely at odds with the current accepted reality.

Among other many other things he writes about, he states that Regean's 'Star Wars' program underlaying justification is the Soviet and United State's fear of the UFO's that had been survielling our nuclear weapons facilities, buzzing our astraunauts when they were in space, abducting innnocent civiliations for thier research and sending electromagnetic pulses at some of our military craft. He goes into some details about this and about how the entire UFO issue is hardly ever discussed except in very very small compartmentalized circles. In fact, Army Intelligence knew very little in comparison to those in the real inner circle which was constantly changing and evloving and being devled into already funded projects under various labels that are hard to track etc.............. In other words, there is no 'single' paper trail anyone would ever find on UFO's, it's highly compartmentalized. Corso has since passed away, but I highly recommend his book to anyone and I think there is a high probability there is a lot of truth to his story.

Here is a clip of Reagan talking about war with Aliens which he apparenlty brought up a number of times copletely unsolicited in public speaches and here is a clip (which may be fake, I don't know?), of a pulse weapon being fired at a UFO. According to Corso, the 'Star Wars' program was a lot more succesfull then the public knows and continues to this day and the UFO issues really helped bring us closer to the Russians during the cold war.

Here is the overview from about the stephensville reporter from a very reliable Herald Tribune blog that is done by a reporter:


"Over the weekend, the blogosphere percolated over the sudden departure of Angelia Joiner, the reporter whose coverage of a spectacular UFO that buzzed the small Texas town on Jan. 8 created a national/international stir. The story gained additional momentum when the bumbling Air Force, after first denying it had any planes in the air (as witnesses also claimed), later admitted it put 10 F-16s up that same evening on a “routine” training mission.

Joiner, whose reporting drew the attention of CNN’s Larry King, stayed with it until early last week. And then, according to Joiner’s e-mails publicized over the Internet, “my directions were to move on to something else” despite “record sales” for January. Joiner alluded to a city councilman telling the Empire-Tribune management that the “whole thing was an embarrasment to the town.”

Rather than back off, Joiner said she submitted her two-week resignation notice — only to be terminated within days. “I'm devastated and still in shock,” she wrote.

Now there’s a big Internet stink wafting over the Empire-Tribune about management caving into government pressure. And Vanden Berge can’t defend the paper’s actions on the record because “I can’t comment on personnel issues.” What she can say is that the Emp-Trib has a staff of three reporters. Three. Ouch. You don’t have to squint to read between those lines.

De Void was unable to reach Joiner for comment, but a look at her last two stories — on Feb. 3-4 — shows the problem. Both were extended interviews with a UFO eyewitness named Ricky Sorrells. Both had one source: Ricky Sorrells.

Following the paper’s initial UFO story, dozens of other area residents reportedly phoned to share their own eyewitness accounts. But so far, Sorrells has been the only one to claim he was told to shut up about it over the phone by an unidentified military officer; the only one getting harassed by military helicopters in the middle of the night; the only one to report being visited by a lone, threatening figure who kept his distance in the middle of the night; and the only one who found an unused bullet as a portentious souvenir of that visit.

Sorrells may be entirely credible. If so, with a story of this nature, he needed help, from either corroborating witnesses, or character vouchers from friends or family. Instead, the guy comes off looking paranoid. Which does him no favors.

Given how the libertarian Cato Institute recently fired adjunct professor Dom Armentano (De Void, 1/30/08) simply for expressing written opinions about UFOs, it’s tempting to make ominous First Amendment connections here. But the most appropriate file for this “personnel issue” is: Need More Data."
