Looks like Ufologists should start looking more into USOlogy. Thats for sure.

Thanks

Thank you very much for ur kind words. That is very good of u. These docs are just the tiny parts of my huge USO Archive. At most of the time, the western UFO or USO researchers forget to look at the non-English data. Likewise, the non-English speaking USO investigators dont translate their essential data into English which brings us another problem.

So, I wanna let u know that there are lots of amazing USOlogical data aboard. This is just a hint or a highlight for all younger or older researchers from the western part of the Planet Earth.

I wish there would be an internationally active USO database whose common language might be English of course. Then the younger USOlogists from every corner of the world could log on this site to have further info and detailed cases about the Underwater UFO subject. This would be an educational process for every USO student.

In the future, I plan to post the new, rare, non-English USO files from my database to this thread for the benefit of all people.

Sharing the info, Sharing the world.

Thanks.

Another Spanish written article about the possible UFO base in Lake Chapala, Mexico and the USO encounter of a famous actor-singer Tito Guizar:

TITO GUIZAR AVALO EXISTENCIA DE BASE OVNI EN CHAPALA (TITO GUIZAR ACCEPTS THE EXISTENCE OF UFO BASE IN CHAPALA)

"Durante varias noches vi una estrella, sólo que del tamaño de una Luna llena,

desde mi ventana en Las Lomas de Chapultepec (residencial fraccionamiento de la ciudad de México) y deseaba que algo con vida saliera de ese enorme objeto luminoso y viniera a nosotros".

Así se expresó el inolvidable actor y cantante Tito Guízar en una entrevista que me concedió para la serie "Juicio OVNI" que conduje en Radio 13 entre 1995 y 1996.

El inmortal de "Allá en el Rancho Grande" y quien dejó de existir el 24 de diciembre 1997, víctima de un paro cardiaco a la edad de noventa y un años, compareció llevado por Enrique Islas, conocido músico y arreglista que le acababa de grabar, con arreglos y dirección, su primero y único disco compacto.

La idea de tener a esta leyenda del cine nacional, luminaria además de la televisión y la canción vernácula, era saber qué pensaba del fenómeno OVNI.

Están entre nosotros

La sorpresa tanto para quien esto escribe como para el auditorio en general, fue enterarnos de que más allá de una opinión del artista, estaba la serie de testimonios que describo a continuación.

Luego de exponer que en los últimos tiempos veía el OVNI que se describe líneas arriba, con la esperanza de contactar con quien lo tripulaba y estar seguro de que procedía de otro mundo, a pregunta expresa declaró más adelante:

"Yo quisiera saber mucho más de ellos (los extraterrestres), porque creo en su existencia y estoy seguro que en alguna ocasión sin fijarnos nos hemos topado con alguno en la sociedad o en la calle".

Caían del cielo

En otra parte de la conversación seguida atentamente por el respetable, Tito confirmó mi tesis de que sea el lago de Chapala una posible base extraterrestre.

Esto fue porque toqué el tema de mis investigaciones en esta zona. Al escuchar esas revelaciones, Tito se asombró y comentó emocionado, como viviendo aquellos increíbles momentos:

"Yo nací y viví en Guadalajara, Luis. De muy chicos, Pepe Guízar (el Pintor Musical de México) y yo, que nos educamos como hermanos por ser él huérfano, pasábamos las vacaciones en Chapala.

"Muy seguido llevábamos serenata a las muchachas. Y entre canción y canción veíamos caer del cielo bolas de fuego sobre la laguna. Recuerdo entonces que repetidas veces le pedí a Pepe incluir en su bonito tema 'Guadalajara', a Chapala describiendo las esferas luminosas que entraban y salían de este sitio. Por cierto que al verlas mi primo exclamaba jubiloso: 'de nuevo están cayendo esas cosas raras en la laguna, Tito. Obsérvalas! ¡Yo creo que nos están escuchando cantar. Quizás les estamos dando serenata también a ellas".

-¿Cuánto hace de eso? -pregunté

"Unos sesenta y cinco o setenta años", contestó el entrevistado para finalmente confesar que ante el cúmulo de experiencias OVNI que vive la gente y las pocas que ha tenido él, "voy a conectarlas a la vida actual", dijo orgulloso antes de despedirse y pedirme invitarlo de nuevo al programa para continuar con este tema tan fascinante que, repito, nos dejó perplejos a muchos que no esperábamos de él tanta pasión, menos que avalara la existencia de una posible base submarina en el gigantesco e importante como enigmático, Lago de Chapala, en Jalisco.

Hasta el siguiente relato...

USO/UFO !

My 1992 experience !

One evening around 10pm I was on Ocean Front Walk in Venice Beach of Los Angeles CA. I was relaxed listening to the sounds of planes landing & taking off from LAX(Los Angeles Airport). I suddenly heard a small cessna plane flying by LAX toward the ocean. I began watching the small cessna as it flew over Santa Monica Bay. Was a pretty clear night except for some fog in the upper atmosphere.

Suddenly a bright large green glow the size of a pro sport stadium emerged from the ocean south of me & swooped up over Malibu CA. There was at least one or more smaller green glows(about same size as cessna plane) along side the larger glow. The occurrence was only a couple of seconds(passed over Santa Monica Bay really fast). The reason for the green glow appearance was due to the atmosphere fog.

The cessna plane did a 180 & was flying toward the inland at top speed. I could judge this as plane engine sounds were very distinct & clear that evening. LAX shutdown(all air traffic sounds ceased). Exactly what I had observed, I wasn't sure. LAX remained quiet for 1 hour before resuming air traffic operations. Ah, things were returning to normal to lessen my concern. I have some previous national security training which was beginning to process my thoughts. Most likely, extraterrestrials communicate using telepathy, therefore, should an encounter occur, clear the mind of all thoughts then concentrate on 2 words(establish communication). The advanced extraterrestrials will acknowledge the thought & begin processing a continous telepathy comfortable to the human species.

Oh yeah, some of my previous national security training may be classified &/or denied by government officials. Did some information research & found explanatory answers to what I had witnessed. USO/UFO !
-----------------------------------------------
Unidentified Submerged Objects (USOs)
The Santa Catalina Channel separates mainland California from the island of Catalina. This stretch of water is as deep as Mount Everest is high and objects have been seen both entering the water and emerging. In 1992, hundreds of unexplained objects were sighted near the Santa Monica Mountains. Many of these objects were seen, not descending from the sky, but rising up, as though emerging from the water nearby. Over two hundred craft were seen emerging silently from the ocean on June 14th, 1992. They hovered for several seconds before shooting off into the sky. Witnesses filed reports with the police as far away as Malibu.

USO case from the Mystical Universe:

Reported By: Peter H. - Edinburgh, Great Britain - February 18, 2001 at 14:23:19
Subject: UFO Sighting - Location: Florida, Orlando - Date: 02/15/2001 - Time: 10.30 PM
Witnesses: 8 - Objects Shape: Light - Number of objects: 7 - Object had lights - Object hovered
Object had an Aura or Haze around it - Object emitted other objects - There were aircraft in the area
Event took place near A Military Airfield/Base - Additional Info: 3 or 4 miles out from S. Port Canaveral
Event Description:
My girlfriend and I where on our last night of a vacation in Indian Harbour and decided to take a trip out to sea on a sterling casino liner. We set sail at 7:00 PM from S. Port Canaveral on Thursday, February 15th.

At about ten thirty-ish we walked up onto the upper decks to take in the night air. I must note here that neither of us drink alcohol, we where both completely sober. While we where on deck, my girlfriend noticed a set of six strange red lights flying around in the relatively clear nights sky about two or three miles out to sea. We were already about three miles out from shore. We watched as these red lights darted around in a seemingly random fashion, though in tight formation, their actions reminded us both of birds darting around each other in a small flock, these though where not birds, planes, kites, flares or helicopters, as they traveled at a terrific speed and with precise movements.

After about ten seconds of swooping around, they each gathered together in an ordered line, one behind the other, once at an equal distance apart they formed a slightly arched circle in the sky, they seemed to vanish from view as they passed towards the back of the circle. I would estimate the circle to be about two hundred feet in circumference. Five of the lights then vanished leaving only one, which flashed on and off, the other lights did not flash, but remained constant when in view. This single red light then moved off slowly for a few moments, before coming to a halt in the sky.

It was now that we both noticed another light, larger and circular in shape, a hazy white light, which pulsated faintly. It seemed, we thought at first, to be a light house but this idea was dashed when it suddenly lifted itself up into the air about roughly two or three hundred feet, before sinking back towards the ground again after a short period. (Note: we did see a lighthouse as we sailed back into port and the white light we saw had no resemblance too it whatsoever.) It seemed to me to be reacting with the flashing red light, which was still hovering about a mile, or two to it's left.

Suddenly, and this freaked us both out, six red lights reappeared from within the flashing light, the first firing directly down into the ocean below, you could tell it entered the ocean because it seemed to dim slightly as it reached the water and vanished. The other four shot out as fast as bullets, also towards the ocean but they were fired at a slightly different trajectory to the first. They shot towards the water but before they hit the waves, they turned at a sharp 45 degree angle, without changing speed, without a noise or fluctuation in the lights intensity, before flying in formation just above the ocean surface, maybe only feet away from the water, each on a slightly wider sweep than the first. Their lights clearly illuminating the water below before eventually disappearing about five seconds later. We can't be certain if they just vanished, entered the water or just simply raced over the horizon, these things where not rockets, as we at first thought, as the sudden change of direction at that terrific speed easily canceled that out beyond a shadow of a doubt. They also left no vapour/smoke trail. There was no sound at all throughout this sighting, even though we could clearly see and hear airliners flying high above, as well as the other cruise ship in the distance. We could hear the distant thudding of the music from that vessel clearly and it was much closer to the lights at this point.

We asked a few other passengers about the lights and they where all equally as amazed and puzzled by them as the both of us. Once these five red lights had vanished, the flashing red light moved on about a mile along the horizon before stopping and restarting the whole procedure over again. Almost exactly like the first time they circled, started random bursts of low flying before disappearing for about ten seconds and shooting out of the flashing light, rapid fire fashion, one, two, three, four, five!

This happened three times to our knowledge, before I took my girlfriend below deck, as she was getting really spooked by this point. I returned less than a minute or two later to find all the lights had vanished including the white light. I waited a while longer but could see nothing except starlight, charter planes high above us and the cruise ship on the horizon. Whatever it was we saw that night had vanished and was unlike anything either of us have ever seen.

I would very much like to know what it was we saw out there on the Atlantic that night? I don't care if it was the testing of new rockets, flares or weather balloons! I really just want to hear, hopefully with your help, just what it was we saw both witnessed last Thursday night? I look forward to hearing from you soon with suggestions or updates. Yours faithfully, Peter H.

USO report from the Mystical Universe:


Reported by: Robert V - Pensacola, FL - January 6, 2000 - 8:33 PM EST
Subject: UFO Sighting - Event Location: Phillips Inlet, Florida - Event Date: 11/ 73 - Time of event: 3:00 a.m.
Additional Info: Between Panama City Beach and Destin - County: Bay County, FL. Witnesses: 2
Objects Shape: Oval - Number of objects: 1 - Object had lights - Object emitted beams of light
Event Description:
In the fall of 1973, my wife and I were returning from seeing a film (The Sting) in Panama City, Florida. At that time, there was very little, if any development along HWY. 98. We were the only car on the road at the time. It was about 2:45 to 3:00 AM. There was a low overcast and the night was very dark.

We were traveling west towards Santa Rosa Beach where we owned a cabin. I was driving a gold, 1968 Plymouth Barracuda. My wife was asleep with her head in my lap. All that I am about to relate occurred in just a few seconds.

As we drove along the deserted highway, I noticed that the hood of the car seemed to be reflecting light from the sky..... at first, I figured that the clouds were breaking and that the moon was beginning to shine through when I realized that the light wasn't white but was rather a pale, radium green (I know..... it sounds nuts......just wait, it gets lots worse)......... looking up, I watched in disbelief as the clouds boiled above us and rapidly grew increasingly brighter.

As I began to brake the car and yell for my wife to look, the clouds suddenly opened up and a brilliant, almost blindingly bright green light shone down..... out of the opening a bright green oval came at such a tremendous speed that it left a streak as an after image on my retina....... around the oval was a wedding band like ring of orange that rotated around the oval and which, although bright, seemed to give off no light.

The thing approached the ground and we thought it would impact about 300 yards in front of us. Instead, just before striking the highway it made an obtuse turn, went over the dunes and struck the water about 1 mile offshore... then traveled under water to the horizon where it's light suddenly "blipped" out. It made a huge pressure wave as it traveled under the gulf water and continued to glow green all the way to the horizon..... the orange band was not apparent when it was beneath the water. It also hesitated and pulsed briefly before moving off under water.

I have related this story many times to friends and have always been met with skepticism and disbelief...... who can blame them? Anyway, that is my true story of my only UFO encounter. I am university educated, having a BFA from the U of AL and an MFA from FSU..... I have taught school for 26 years and am also a professional potter who specializes in architectural ceramics..... I am not a wacko and really did see what I have accurately related here..... Scared both of us witless......... thanks
Robert sent us the following information the day after he submitted the above report:
First, the object itself seemed to be about 30 or 40 feet in length, though it was difficult to tell because of its speed. It was not a disk shape but a true ellipse or oval, round in cross-section. Secondly, there was no apparent noise at all. Third, when the object struck, it made a huge plume of water where it hit the surface (as can be imagined)...... Finally, after the object reached the horizon and the light went out, my wife and I could still see what appeared to be a rent or torn opening in the low overcast of clouds above us. I neglected to include these points last night because I was so tired. I had been working since 5:00 a.m. yesterday morning and frankly, I was "whipped".

From UFO News UK, Volume 1, No. 19, 2001:

UNDERWATER UFO'S

Go back to some old books like those written by Ivan Sanderson. Many reports of UFOs emerging and submerging into the ocean. We also had sightings a few years ago off the Palos Verdes peninsula where UFOs were seen traveling under water.

Here is an excerpt from Chapter 10 in my book "Alien Magic"

"What secrets lurk in ocean depths? Are there alien forms of intelligent life that occupy the vast volumes of water that constitute our oceans, seas, and lakes? The largest of our oceans, the Pacific, covers 64,000,000 square miles and reaches a depth of 36,198 feet, a depth that no ray of sunlight ever reaches. Could these depths hide alien submarine bases?

Underwater UFOs have been sighted on many occasions lifting out of their submerged depths and taking to the air. In an article entitled "UFOs - at 450 Fathoms," UFO Reporter Ed Hyde told of the sighting made by Dr. R. J. Villela, a Brazilian scientist, who saw a UFO smash through an estimated 40 feet of ice at the South Pole and soar into the sky at amazing speed.

It was author and researcher Dr. Ivan T. Sanderson who suggested that aliens could remain undetected by building their bases beneath the world's oceans. Dr. Sanderson found that by actual count, over 50 percent of the UFO sightings had occurred over, coming from, or plunging into or coming out of water. This includes oceans, seas, lakes, and reservoirs. Of the oceanic UFOs (some term them USOs or Unidentified Submersible Objects), one was tracked by the U.S. Navy near Puerto Rico in 1963. Of course many of these objects have been tracked over Puerto Rico since that time. On a training maneuver, a sonar operator detected a sub aqueous object traveling at over 150 knots! The technicians tracked this object for four days and it maneuvered down to the incredible depth of 27,000 feet. Submarines of 1963 could not dive further than a fraction over a mile into the ocean deeps. What kind of submersible could withstand the tremendous ocean pressures? And how could it overcome the tremendous resistance of water moving at such incredible speeds?

(Note: We now know that may use a process called supercavitation)

Many witnesses have reported huge cigar-shaped vehicles emerging from the oceanic hydrospaces of earth to take to the sky. In 1965, such an event was logged in the records of the Norwegian ship T.T. Jawesta on the 6th of July and in the log of an Argentinian ship, the Naviero off the coast of Brazil on July 20, 1967. The officers and crew could see a shining object in the sea no more that 50 feet away from the Starboard side. It was cigar-shaped and about 110 feet in length and emitted a powerful blue and white glow. It ran silently and without wake through the water. There was no periscope or conning tower or any protruding parts to this mysterious submarine. It paced the Naviero for 15 minutes, then suddenly dived and passed beneath the ship and vanished rapidly into the great depths.

For years witnesses have seen many types of UFOs cruising off the Palos Verdes Peninsula in Southern California. UFOs have actually been seen to come out of the water in the San Pedro Channel. In the early seventies, my friend Jim was on the boat returning from Santa Catalina Island to San Pedro Harbor when he spotted a low, flying disk cruise silently over the channel boat. The craft was so close he could make out every detail of its structure including the four hemispherical pods on its underside.

Strange blue-green lights have been seen in the water since 1989. In 1989, and again in 1990, witnesses have seen as many as 20 events an hour. One large light appeared to be as much as 100 feet in diameter. This large light spawned babies no larger than 10 to 12 feet in length. These lights were seen to move swiftly under the ocean's surface some 500 to 1,000 feet from the coastline in Abalone Cove. The hypothesis that these may be luminescent fish is discounted by a local marine biologist. These lights were too large and too swift to be fish. One of the lights was reported to have emerged from the water.

In 1992 a sea kayaker viewed an amazing sight off the Palos Verdes Peninsula. He was four or five miles off the Peninsula when a waterspout suddenly formed some hundreds of yards ahead of his kayak. As he observed this spout, the forward motion of the funnel stopped, the curtain of light mist surrounding the waterspout disappeared and a rotating column of what seemed to be solid ice appeared. As the sun reflected off the rotating mass of ice crystals, it appeared to be a sight of extraordinary beauty. The height of the ice column was estimated at 100 to 150 feet. When the ice column collapsed back into the ocean, it created a whirlpool. After this amazing event, the kayaker paddled over to examine floating fragments of ice and found specimens of fish embedded in the frozen pieces.

The site of these phenomenal occurrences is near the old Marineland Park which closed in 1987. Snoopers believe that the Park is now a Naval Experimental Marine Biology Lab. Access to the Park is now restricted and many "no trespassing" signs are posted around fenced areas."

This book is now out-of-print but I may republish it later this year.

From Filer's Files #10-1999 (UFOs Seen Entering/Leaving Ocean):

CALIFORNIA - UFOs SUBMERGE

SAN DIEGO - Melvin Podell reports that unidentified submerged objects (USOs) have been entering and leaving the Pacific Ocean off the coast at Point Loma. Melvin states, "I have details of a case in which a number of observers watched as two submerged objects a few hundred feet offshore emerged from the water and took off rapidly into the sky." Bill Hamilton of Skywatch comments that USOs have also been seen off the Palos Verdes peninsula for several years. These glowing objects sometimes emerge from the water. Underwater they travel swiftly. Thanks to Mel Podell. [email protected] The San Diego UFO Info Homepage at n6rpf.com-us.net... and Bill Hamilton [email protected]

LOUISIANA SIGHTING: STRETCHES FROM LOUISIANA TO MISSISSIPPI USA
HONEY ISLAND SWAMP
On January 13, 2002, Joe and Linda Montaldoy were driving in the swamp that includes Stennis NASA Test Site near Pearl River. They entered near sunset and drove in eleven miles and noticed the last of the hunters drive out about 5:45 PM, so they decided to leave. They wrote, "As we got close to the gate a very bright, circular, strobing light appeared behind the trees to our left in the south." As it came over the tree line we got out of the car to watch it. I judged from the height of the microwave tower I could see that it was about 1500 feet high. It continued in our direction and passed directly over our car. We could plainly see that it was a triangular shaped black object with an amber coloured globe in the centre, a red light at its front point and a white light at each of its back points. It was about the size of a commercial jet. We only viewed it for a few minutes because the road is narrow and trees line both sides. We left the swamp and were headed back to I-59. As we approached the ramp to the interstate we saw that it had stopped over the swamp and was hovering in place. Because we are involved with MUFON. We called our State Director on our cell phone. The craft now turned back and headed Southwest toward Pearl River. I could tell by the way it was headed that it would pass directly over a dead-end road I had been on before, so I drove to the end of this road. We got out of the car and spotted it moving very slowly at maybe 800 feet high. We were reporting over the phone. It stopped, turned on its axis, and headed back in our direction and passed directly over us as we stood outside our car. There was absolutely no sound except the barking of some dogs in a nearby yard. We got back in the car and followed it down the road. It was no more than 500 or 600 feet over us and was moving very slowly. We were driving only about 20 mph and it stayed right in front and over us. At this point it was hard to tell it we were following it or it was staying with us when we reached the end of the road the object headed south-Southeast. We noticed two planes cross right over it at a much higher altitude. As we got back to the interstate the object began to gain altitude and speed. It was headed towards the Pirate Harbour area. We lost sight of it on the interstate, so I decided to get off I-10 and go to Pirates Harbour Road.

We drove down this road 5 or 6 miles and came to an open area. On one side of the road are camps and on the other side marsh. We could see the craft over the marshes. It appeared to be tipped over on its side. I could see no lights; I believe I was looking at the top of it. It was like a black shape against the stars. Before it had been travelling like a flat triangle shape and we could see only the bottom of it. As I watched, it seem to flip over on it's other side and I could see the bottom of it. Sort of like a car would flip and first you would see the hood and roof, then you would see the underside and tires. Then it righted itself, but continued to wobble. It was headed south-Southeast toward the Ringlets Pass, which was about three miles from where we were. The Ringlets Pass is a deep-water channel that eventually leads into the Gulf of Mexico. We had to speed up to keep it in sight but it was slowly loosing altitude. When we got to the Ringlets Bridge we could see it had come down into the marsh. We couldn't tell if it was in the water or above the water. Now it was lit up with bright white lights all along the edge of it. We came off the bridge and pulled into the Fort Pike boat launch. We got out of our car and called our State Director back on the cell phone.

The object was over the water about 100 to 200 yards from us. To the right of us in the north a brilliant white light came into view. It was just above tree level, about 300 to 400 feet high and moving very slowly. It would move a little and then come to a complete stop. There was a beam of light coming from under it making a searching pattern. As we watched it started to move toward where we were standing. The light turned off and it passed directly over us. There was no sound. We could clearly see that it was a triangular shape with a red light in the front white lights on both back points and an amber light in the middle. It was the same type of craft that was in the water, but much smaller. As it passed over us it made a circle toward the west and came back around. Several times it came to a complete stop. When it was back to the spot it had started from, it started to circle again. This time it was lower, maybe 200 to 250 feet, and moving more in the direction of the downed craft. Again very slow movement and several complete stops.

As we stood watching, we saw another craft light up from the exact spot the first one had started. Craft #2 was moving in the same path and at the same speed and altitude as craft #1. As #2 passed over us we could see that it was another triangular craft with a red light in front, two white lights in back, an amber globe in the middle, only this craft had two rows of white lights running down the centre of it's underside. There were six lights in each row and they were either next to the globe or over it. A third craft now showed up in the exact spot as the other two. It made the same slow, stopping movements and circle as the other two. As it passed over us we could see it was again a triangular craft with the same lights, red in front, white in back, amber globe in the middle. The only difference in this one was that it sent out a beam of light from the front point for about 200 feet. The beam tilted downward but not far enough to reach the ground. Now the three crafts were moving in an extremely slow circle in the sky. They would stop completely and then move again. We were still on the phone with our State Director and at this time he told us we should get out of there.

We took a last look and to the south an object was coming our way. We could not see the shape of this object. All we could see was a row of very bright lights. There were six lights, three lights a space, and then three more. They were extremely bright and they seemed to be blinking on very, very fast. So fast that you couldn't really tell when one went off the one next to it came on. They were flashing and strobing so quickly, that I couldn't really focus on them. Something caught my attention in the corner of my eye, and I turned around and realised that the craft in the water had changed. The white lights around its edge were now red. Then it simply went under the water and disappeared. At the same moment they all just disappeared. One moment there were four crafts in the sky and one in the water and the next there was nothing. We got in our car and made a rather speedy departure. Almost as soon as we were on the road, a triangular craft, red light in front, white lights in back, amber in the centre, appeared to our left over the trees. At the same time car lights shone right behind us on bright beam. As the triangle flew over us the car engine started to cough and felt like it was going out, the lights on the car flickered on and off, the cell phone started to ring, but it said dead cell and went blank. All this happened in an instant. The triangle flew over us at about 100 feet heading east to west and disappeared. The car behind us passed at a very high speed and we saw that the plate said US Government. We both got a headache almost immediately. The headache was extremely painful. It felt like an immense pressure in our head and behind our eyes. Our eyes were burning. There was also a feeling of being ill. The incident took place between 5:45 and 8:30 PM Thanks to Joe and Linda Montaldoy. Thanks to George Filer www.filersfiles-ufo.com

From Bill Chalker Archive:

THE 1966 TULLY SAUCER "NEST"

1966 was again a major year for UFO activity in Australia. The classic UFO landing at Horseshoe Lagoon near Tully, far north Queensland, and witnessed by farmer George Pedley, entered the term UFO "nest" into popular UFO parlance. The locality was the centre of an extended UFO milieu that continued for many years, particularly in 1969, 1972 and 1975. The area was also the site of controversial and fascinating experiments in UFO detection through remote sensing and filming.

Farmer, George Pedley's sighting at Horseshoe Lagoon and the physical evidence found there caused a media sensation. The Tully "UFO nest" affair of 1966 is one of the best known accounts of an apparent UFO landing report. It has been mentioned extensively in the UFO literature over the years,and yet surprisingly many inaccuracies and misconceptions have developed. These problems became more critical when the famous Tully incident of January 19, 1966, once again became the focus of attention, this time due to the English "crop circle" controversy. The prominent schools of thought on the crop circle formations adopted the 1966 Tully incident as a classic example of their percieved explanations for the circle complexes. Their claims about the relevance of the Tully incident as an example of the currently percieved crop circle phenomenon were flawed and generally unfounded.

The RAAF files describe the famous Tully incident in the following manner:

At about 9.00 a.m. on 19th January, 1966, Mr. G.A. Pedley, a banana grower of Tully, Qld, observed a light grey non reflecting dull object, reported to be about 25 feet long and 8 feet deep, rise vertically then climb on an angle of 450 from a height of about 30 feet above marshland which was situated about 25 yards away from his position. There was an associated hissing noise which descreased as the 'object' rose. The apparent shape was described as 'two saucers, face to face', but no structural detail was observed. The duration of the observation was approximately 15 seconds and it disappeared in mid-air whilst receding into the distance (not assessed).

A clearly defined near circular depression remained in evidence in swamp grass at the point from which the object was seen rising, and measured about 32 feet long by 25 feet wide. The grass was flattened in clockwise curves to water level within the circle and the reeds had been uprooted from the mud. There was no scorching of grass or surrounding trees and the observer stated that there was no smell of combustion..."

My research of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) files uncovered the original police report on the incident. As these are the earliest documented sources extracts of it are included here of details not included in the above statement made in 1973 in response to an enquiry from the "Australian" newspaper.

George Pedley reported his experience to Tully Police at 7.30 pm, on January 19th. At 7 am, January 20th George Pedley and Sgt. A.V. Moylan went to the site of the incident. Sgt. Moylan, then contacted Townsville RAAF Base by telephone, on the morning of January 20th. Flt. Lt. Wallace advised Sgt. Moylan that he would forward a proforma questionaire for completion by George Pedley. On Friday, January 21st, Flt. Lt. Wallace confirmed despatch of two copies of the sighting proforma by mail that same day and also requested Sgt. Moylan obtain "a sample of the grass from the scorched area." At 3.30 pm, on the same day, Moylan returned to the site and took a sample "of the grass from the depression in the swamp grass at the site. The proforma was filled out by Moylan based on his interviews with George Pedley and was dated 26/1/66. Sgt. Moylan despatched the report and the sample on 26/1/66.

The following details are extracted from the RAAF "REPORT ON AERIAL OBJECT OBSERVED" Moylan filled out with George Pedley. Because so many conflicting claims have been made about what George Pedley said at the time, it is worthwhile to go back to the documentation filled out then:

Name of Observer: George Alfred PEDLEY aged 28 years.

Manner of observation:
travelling on a tractor about 1/2 mile from farm house of Albert PENNISI, Rockingham Road, Euramo. Attention attracted by hissing noise, clearly heard over noise of tractor-similar to air escaping from tyre; checked tyres and was looking about for source of noise when he saw object about 25 yards ahead. No optical instruments used in sighting.

Height or angle of elevation:
First seen at treetop height 30'. Rose vertically to about twice that height, then departed, climbing at about 45 degrees.

Speed, or angular velocity:
Extremely fast; No estimate of speed, but much faster than an aeroplane.

It was near treetops and these gave observer a good basis for estimating height.

Direction of flight with reference to landmarks or points of the compass:
Rose vertically to about 60 feet and departed south west climbing at about 45 degrees; appeared to be rotating for full time observed. (object appeared to remain on) straight climbing path.

Existence of any physical evidence:
Clearly defined near circular depression in swamp grass at point from which object seen rising, about 32' long and 25' wide. Grass flattened to surface of 4' of water lying in xxxx-clockwise curves.
[Sgt. Moylan, in his report, had typed in anti-clockwise initially and then corrected it to clockwise, by overtyping 'anti' with 'xxxx'. The direction of the swirl at the site of the 19 January 1966 incident was to become a matter of ongoing confusion. The clockwise direction was the correction direction - B.C.]

Weather conditions experienced at time of observation:
Clear sky; Hot sunshine.

Location of any air traffic in the vicinity at the time of sighting: Unknown but checked by RAAF Garbut.

[Flt. Lt. Wallace of Townsville RAAF base in a covering minute paper confirmed that "there were no service or Civil aircraft operating in the area.. at the time of the sighting.." - B.C.]

Any additional information: (Sgt. Moylan wrote)

Observer reported this matter to Tully Police at 7.30pm on 19/1/66 and at 7am, 20/1/66 went with me to the site of the depression in the swamp. His version then included the information that the object rose vertically, appeared to dip slightly and then went off in straight climbing path. He then said...further that there was no smell of combustion and no scorching of grass or trees visible; that the the flattened grass or rushes was quite green when he first saw the depression; on his return that afternoon the grass had turned brown.

(Sgt. Moylan further added

In this matter I formed the opinion that the depressed area in the swamp grass had been caused by a small helicopter and that the observer, in the early morning bright sunlight shining on the rotor may have mistaken the shape. His description of the takeofflent some strength to my opinion. However there was cleared land to the east for about 200 yards where such an aircraft could have more safely landed instead of the position indicated by the observer, close to trees. Later I was informed by Wallace Evans of ...Tully, an electrician that he has seen similar markings in a swamp at Kurrumine Beach and is quite certain that it was caused by a whirlwind, sucking up water into a waterspout, uprooting the grass and laying it out in a similar pattern. At 3.30pm, 21/1/66 I took a sample of the grass at the site and have forwarded it under seperate cover on even date.

Flt. Lt. T.D. Wright, for Air Officer Commanding, Headquarters Operational Command, RAAF, Penrith, New South Wales (NSW), on-forwarded police Sgt. Moylan's report on George Pedley's UFO sighting and Flt. Lt. Wallace's covering minute paper, to the Department of Air, Russell Offices, Canberra. His communication classified RESTRICTED, which was channelled to the Directorate of Air Force Intelligence (DAFI), also indicated, "This headquarters believes that the depressions of the swamp grass were caused by small isolated waterspouts."

In response to an enquiry, dated 2nd February, 1966, from the Commonwealth Aerial Phenomena Investigation Organisation (CAPIO), the Secretary, Department of Air, Mr. A.B. McFarlane, wrote on 11th February, 1966:

"Investigations of the area surrounding the reported "Nests", testing of samples taken from around them and interrogation of persons involved in the report failed to reveal anything of significance.

"However, during enquiries a number of local residents stated that the reported "nests" are fairly common during the onset of the "wet". Furthermore, the University of Queensland stated that there was nothing unnatural in the samples submitted and assessed that the "nests" could have been the result of severe turbulance, which normally accompany line squalls and thunderstorms prevalent in NORTH QUEENSLAND at the time of the year.

"There is no explanation for the visible phenomena reported but it could have been associated with or the result of "down draughts", "willy willies" or "water spouts" that are known to occur in the area.

".. for information ....in January of this year from an airfield in the tropics (a number of photographs taken give) a fine example of the type and growth of a cloud formation occuring with a severe "down draught"

This whirling mass of tropical air associated with thunderstorm activity, on reaching the earth's surface may dissipate and subside or persist giving rise to dust eddies, water spouts, etc, and leaving a telltale circular pattern on the ground.

Should it occur over a swampy reed bed the effect would be to flatten the reeds with a circular pattern. resultant photographs and investigations of the "nests" seem to fit in with this theory and is accepted as a possible cause of the phenomena."

It is fascinating to note how Secretary McFarlane's cursory explanatory exposition, no doubt inspired by "the tornado-like metereological phenomena" infested skies over Willow Grove, Victoria and Vaucluse Beach, NSW, anticipated by almost 2 decades Dr. Terence Meaden's early theoretical attempts to explain the English "crop circles" of the 1980s. Dr. Meaden would mistakingly assume that George Pedley saw his "vortex" at 9 pm, not 9 am, which is a fatal flaw in the mechanism he put forth to explain the report.

The only other significant official statement on the Tully sighting I found in the RAAF files was included in a letter by Mr. G.J. Odgers, Director of Public Relations, Department of Defence (Air Office), dated 17th December, 1973, directed to Charles Wright, a journalist working on a article for the national newspaper, The Australian.

George Odgers' Air Office public relations department had clearly gleaned from the 1966 DAFI files details of an explanation of what George Pedley seen that the original RAAF officers and Department officers back in 1966 had not determined:

"Although a conclusive determination could not be made, the most probable explanation was that the sighting was of a 'willy willy' or circular wind phenomenon which flattened the reeds and sucked up debris to a height of about 30 feet, thus forming what appeared to be a 'flying saucer', before moving off and dissipating. Hissing noises are known to be associated with 'willy willies' and the theory is also substantiated by the clockwise configuration of the depression.

Mr. Odgers further added, more generally,

"All to often unusual occurrences are reported in sensational terms with little or no attempt made at rational assessment. The general subject is 'newsworthy' and lends itself to sensationalism and guesswork, but in most cases logical explanations follow from careful investigation. You will appreciate that there is nothing to be gained from reopening old cases." [a sentiment I would not agree with - B.C.]

THE X-FILES From the files of UFOria

A woman driving home at midnight from Maleny notices a disc-shaped craft about 7-10m wide fly nearly 15m above her car for the entire journey. When she turns into her street, it flies ahead and hovers across from her house. She watches as the craft moves slowly away.

UFOs are often reported coming out of the ocean off Coolum.

One couple is visited by a large craft with a strong downward draft above their home. The power from the craft causes the house to shake violently and several household items break. They don’t recall anything afterwards.

A UFO is seen travelling slowly through the hinterland at Witta. It comes from the Lake Baroon direction and lights up the ground as it flies. It hovers quietly in front of the witnesses’ house.

Some people came out of their house late one night to watch the moon land in a nearby field. They remember nothing else for several hours.

Various blinking lights and unexplained glowing in the sky have been reported over Tewantin, Flaxton, Tinbeerwah, Cooroy and elsewhere on the Coast.

Rochedale South, Tuesday October 14 2002, 11.30pm
A woman walked to the local shop to buy a packet of cigarettes. She saw a big light coming in towards the city area and then it stopped. She then noticed 2 other orange glowing lights travel overhead taking approx. 2 minutes to do so. The objects were a bit brighter than a star and travelling in a straight line. One of the objects seemed to occasionally wobble. She stated she had seen satellites and these were not satellites. By this time her son had joined her and they also spotted 3 other objects in the sky that were moving in very small circles. She telephoned her mother, a neighbour and others to look at the objects who all reported seeing them. The woman has seen unusual objects before.

About twenty years ago she was with her father in Newcastle when they saw a plane surrounded by 7 cigar-shaped objects. This incident was later reported on the news.

On another occasion 13 years ago in Coffs Harbour, she was coming home from work at 2.30am when she saw a massive big light burst out of the ocean and fly straight up into the sky with a burst of noise.

MY UFO EXPERIENCE: UFOs & USOs Spotted While Serving on Coast Guard Ship in The Bermuda Triangle, The UFO Chronicles, 1 April 2009

Reader Submitted Report, [Unedited], 2-4-08

During the late 70's, I was stationed on a Coast Guard ship which spent 3 weeks at a time patrolling in the Bermuda triangle. On one trip I had a low quality telescope which I had brought along to try to do some sky watching. If you have ever been out in the Ocean on a bright summer night with clear skies you would understand.

One night, about 2 a.m., I was on the fantail looking up and noticed something moving in the outer atmosphere. It was just a bright light but it's erratic movement caught my eye. It traveled about 1/4 of the horizon in about 10 seconds. Then it stopped for a moment and proceeded to move in a straight line upward. It stopped again for a few seconds, then went in a straight line to the starting point. What bothered me was that something covering that much of the horizon in such a short period of time would have to be going thousands of miles per hour. That ruled out a jet or other man made vehicle.

At first I thought maybe it was a mistake on my part, so I took the telescope up to the bridge where a friend with a better education in star gazing was on duty. I pointed out the light to him, (it had continued to move around) and asked him what he thought. He was in agreement with my speed evaluation, and told me this would qualify as a 'UFO'.

There were other times at night when we would see brightly lit objects speeding under water past our ship. The water was too shallow for it to have been subs. But we never got a good enough look to know what it was.

One night something clipped our rudder which caused our steering cable to snap. The cable was four inch thick braided steel. Just as we were finishing the repair, something hit the other rudder and snapped the cable on the other side of the ship.

Another time about 200 gallons of oil "disappeared" from a gear bath. We searched for an oil slick thinking we had a leak, but what happened to the fluid was never solved.

A lot of weird stuff out there!

From Inexplicata, 20 March 2009:

An Interview with José Martinez of PRRG










José A. Martínez graciously accepted our request to answer a few questions on his organization's UFO research endeavors on the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico, a notorious UFO hotspot for many generations.


What is the Puerto Rican Research Group?

It’s a non-profit entity that emerged in the 1960’s, but by 1988 was established as an organization registered with the Puerto Rican State Department. It is made up of several individual specialized in given technical fields and having knowledge of specific areas. For example, the group’s director or leader is Mr. Willie Durand Urbina, who has a background in cinematography. He was a cameraman for a San Juan-based TV station and he has pursued this profession as a photo and video analyst. He’s currently specializing in optics and how it affects our environment. Willie covers the San Juan Area. Another of our members is Juan A. Lopez, another technician in photo analysis and the group’s logistician. His work is of great importance, as he has considerable knowledge of photo imagery. Juan covers the Hato Rey and Fajardo areas. Whalberto Cardona is an airline pilot with a vast knowledge of aircraft; his opinions are very important within the group when it comes to analyzing objects in our skies. He covers the entire southeastern region of Puerto Rico. Carmen Martinez is a special member of our group, as she delves in the paranormal. She’s our adviser in paranormal affairs and specializes in this field. José A. Martinez has a background in computer science and worked for the Department of Justice’s internal security department. He’s in charge of field research, collecting all data in a forensic manner, guarding the scene to keep it from being tainted until specialized equipment can be brought in. He’s also in charge of several of the group’s websites and of informing the pertinent media.

To what can we ascribe the constant presence of anomalous phenomena in Puerto Rico?

The presence of these phenomena can be attributed to several sources, from natural and artificial phenomena to others having no logical explanation whatsoever. We are in a part of the planet that constitutes one of the vertexes of the so-called Bermuda Triangle. It could be the considerable quantity of geomagnetic energy that surrounds the entire Caribbean area, and it has been shown that phenomena of this type is attracted to these natural magnetic fields, and this could be an explanation. But above all, we’re on a geological fault that is in constant motion, creating pressure and friction, releasing lights that are sometimes mistaken for UFOs, apparitions, “hachos”, witches and other names given by people who are not aware of natural forces. These strange phenomena include the Chupacabras, an entity that appears every 20-30 years and is very furtive. Others dismiss this phenomenon, but have not conducted field research to emit a sound judgment on the matter. There are hundreds of witnesses who have seen it, and describe the same thing. It’s a case that remains open for discussion and analysis.


And specifically, why in the island’s southwestern corner?

Not only in the southwestern corner of Puerto Rico. We have identified other places with constant sightings, among them the Ponce coastal region, Guayanilla, Guanica, Lajas, Aguadilla, Cabo Rojo, the mountainous area of Yauco, Orocovis, El Yunque, Morovis, Luquillo, Cerro Las Mesas, Mayaguez, Marcao, Adjuntas, Eastern Vieques, Fajardo, Vega Alta and Vega Baja, Arecibo – all of these areas have been identified as geomagnetically aberrant. This means that these areas contain some kind of magnetic mineral that affects AM radio communications and the frequencies employed by the State and Municipal police forces.


Has Laguna Cartagena ever been discussed again? This body of water attracted considerable attention in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Laguna Cartagena is linked to many local legends, ranging from witches, wandering spirits on the roads, and even aliens have reportedly been seen walking along the highways. An incident occurred here in the ‘80s when hundreds of witnesses from Lajas, Betances and nearby communities saw an object plummet into the lagoon. Witnesses say that a huge sphere fell into the waters. What makes this incident strange is that Federal authorities immediately intervened to remove whatever it was that fell. They explored the lagoon for several weeks with Navy divers, twin-rotor helicopters over the lagoon, drawing water, and managed to remove some spheres. While Puerto Rico has several natural and artificial lagoons, including the Vega Lagoon in Yauco, which has had its own UFO accounts for years. It’s located in the mountainous region of Yauco, and many locals have reportedly seen huge objects coming out of these waters in total silence.


What do you think INEXPLICATA’s readers overseas should know about UFO’s in Puerto Rico?

For those who are reading this article in English, we would like to tell them that the Hispanic peoples have very good and compelling cases. The language barrier has been considerable in making some of these cases known, and the important work being carried out by our friend Scott Corrales has been to provide assistance to non-Spanish speakers and make them aware of what is going on in Puerto Rico and it’s kindred countries. Puerto Rico has serious researchers who work unselfishly as well as alleged professionals who mock witnesses and denigrate their integrity. Such individuals do not last for long, and are in league with the CIA, the NSA and the FBI. It’s regrettable that this should happen in Puerto Rico, but I imagine that it happens in other countries as well, following the pattern of disinformation and mockery on radio, in the press and television. UFOs in Puerto Rico are real. We have been witnesses to this phenomenon and collected evidence about it. Let there be no question about this, although many [cases] have not come to light because some want to avoid being the target of mockery or criticism. Others prefer to remain anonymous, and still others face situations that may befall them [as a result of research]. We have changed the way we work to avoid these situations. We are very grateful to INEXPLICATA for this opportunity, and for giving the English-speaking UFO community a chance to know more about us and share their knowledge with serious researchers in Puerto Rico. You can contact us at: Puerto Rican Research Group, 410 Altos, Floral Park, Hato Rey, PR, 00907, 787.294.1328 and 787.821.1671.
