=== Cut === Filer's Files #17-1998 MUFON Skywatch Investigations George A. Filer: MUFON Eastern Director, April 30, 1998 NEW JERSEY I have a report of a woman and her son have observed UFOs in a field near their home in the Mullica Hill area. They have been seeing UFOs in this field on a fairly regular basis. The mother is concerned because she has discovered circular round holes in her body. The scar is size of a dime. The holes are very similar and they have occurred over a period of may years. The first occurred in her arm, then her back and recently in her stomach. She visited her medical doctor to determine the cause of the holes or scoop marks. The Doctor is stumped by what could have caused the unusual wounds. She was asleep in bed each time the holes occurred, but she has no memory of anything unusual. There is nothing in the bed that would cause this kind of marks and there were no holes in her nightgown. All holes are on the left side of her body. The other members of the family do not have similar marks. -Back to Top- FREDERICKSBURG, VIRGINIA Ricardo Atristain, the MUFON State director for Virginia, reports: Hello, I went to Fredericksburg today and spoke to Kate Bailey of the Free Lance Star newspaper. She said, she received numerous calls in response the sighting she published on 4/7/98. Four of the witnesses were Fredericksburg police officers. She threw most of the caller information away but was able to refer me to one person. His name is Robert Tolen and he granted us permission to use his name. I interviewed Mr. Tolen at his home in Spotsylvania, County. He gave the following account: At approximately 6:42 PM on April 3, 1998, he was in downtown Fredericksburg talking on a pay phone when the incident occurred. While on the phone, he noticed a bright green glow in the southern sky. He looked up and observed an egg shaped _object_ with blue, green, and yellow flames shooting out of it's rear. He said it was solid and it's surface color was medium to dark Grey, similar to Grey primer paint. It's surface did not reflect any light and there was no sound or visible vapor trail associated with the _object_. He estimated it's altitude to be between 900 to 1000 feet. The _object_ was extremely fast and flew directly over him from south to north within four to five seconds. This _object_'s de_script_ion is not consistent with a meteor. Mr. Tolen said he also received a call from a local woman who reported seeing a similar _object_ fly over her house about a week prior to his sighting. Also, he spoke with two other people from the Shannon Airport who witnessed a similar _object_ on 4/3. I haven't completed the investigation yet, but I will keep you informed. I still have to interview the police officers, the woman, and the two people at the airport. Note: Ms. Bailey said she did receive a call from a person who observed a similar _object_ while he was in Raleigh, NC on April 3. Unfortunately, she threw his information away. Regards, Rick -Back to Top- GEORGIA MUFON investigator John Thompson states: I received a report of a saucer-shaped UFO hovering over a clover field near a stock pond near Stovall in southeastern Troup County. The UFO was seen by a passing motorist 400 yards from Wright Road on Monday, March 30, 1998. The witness stated, 'It was a round thing that had lights going round and round.' The motorist only saw it for a few seconds, before woods screened her view at 8:30 PM. Even though it took less than a minute to turn the car around the UFO was gone. The motorist then circled the area in her care trying to find the craft. It was just after dusk so there was enough light to see there was no farm machinery or other structures in the fields. This is the same exact spot where a daylight Valley type UFO was seen by a man and his son in April of 1996. On April 1, 1998, at 7:10 PM a UFO described as looking like a huge flying dinner plate was reported ten miles north of LaGrange. A landowner about an hour later, several members of the family saw a bright white light in the NNE. This large non-_b_link__ing light, sat low on the horizon for several minutes. Getting a pair of binoculars the woman watched the bright stationary light, that was the size of Venus, for over a minute. While watching with binoculars it suddenly zipped to the east. Also on April 1, at 8:20 PM, John Thompson took a call from a retired dentist in western Troup County, who said that for several minutes he observed a large stationary white light. Suddenly this light moved away rapidly to the NE and flared up. The Dentist asked John to go outside and observe the light, but John was unable to detect it. A few hours later Wednesday night, a cigar or disc-shaped UFO was reported at 10:30 PM by two women, twelve miles to the northwest. The Stoval witness recounted two UFO LaGrange incidents in1963. A huge football field size UFO with flashing lights, hovered over the railroad crossing at Greenville Street east of LaGrange. These latest sightings show that UFOs were observed in the LaGrange area by unrelated witnesses on March 30&31 and April 1. Thanks to John Thompson. Former Georgia State Director, John Thompson writes that many different witnesses from Korea to Georgia are reporting UFOs operate with repeatable and distinctive flashes. John writes, In the Korean case that Chief Sheets investigated, American soldiers saw the flash or 'powering-up' of the UFO just before it vanishing. I am convinced that the luminous lens-shaped UFOs are the real McCoy. The distinctive flash, the high speed departure, and sometimes their incredible size rules anything else out. This is the real baby. Chris Early, a physicist and former MUFON Georgia Director's experiments and those of the late Paul Hill's from NASA has centered on a disc shaped _object_ that ionizes the atmosphere around it. This flash seen just prior to acceleration definitely has something to due with this process. The craft looks energized, with the resultant plasma that envelopes around it. There are other real extraterrestrial UFOs, but I have not seen them personally. I have to see it to believe it. Chris believes that certain people are picked to see UFOs. I reject this argument completely. We have a mutual friend in New Hampshire whose entire family see UFOs. It's not by coincidence they live in an isolated region. I also believe that hilly areas
