YUKON UFO INVESTIGATOR;
U.F.O.R.C. thanks CNews and ParanormalNetwork.com for sending us the following UFO reports:
July 30, 1999 "Yukon UFO investigator kept busy"
(Whitehorse Star)
WHITEHORSE (CP) -- There are more unidentified flying objects sighted in the Yukon than anywhere else in Canada, says a UFO investigator. Just last weekend two sightings were reported to Martin Jasek, one of two UFO investigators in the territory. Jasek and his neighbour both belong to Vancouver-based UFO B.C. and both investigate sightings. "The people I interview are very sincere and they seem normal to me," said Jasek. "What's so nice about the Yukon is that everybody knows everybody, so you often get one story, and then they say, 'Oh, I know so and so, who saw something,' and it just keeps going and going." Jasek works for the federal water resources branch by day. But in his spare time he chases stories of the unknown objects. "When I was growing up as a kid, I was always fascinated by outer space, and then I went to university and became a little bit more skeptical," he said. But some television programs on the subject sparked his interest again. He has been a UFO investigator for about two years and has investigated about 40 sightings, but only recently did he see what might have been a UFO during a trip in Manitoba. "I was driving down the freeway, and this white ball came up between the trees," said Jasek. The ball was about a third of the size of the moon, and it disappeared behind the trees, he said. "That's pretty minor compared to some of the stories we do get," he added. Jasek recalls one man who was working on Montana Mountain near Carcross in 1988. The man was staying on the mountain with his dog, when one night, a big saucer came upon him casting blue light all over. The man's dog got scared and hid under a bed, and after the saucer left, the man wrote the incident up in his work journal. This account, along with other Yukon stories, can be found on the Internet at www.ufobc.org/yukon. "I think the world should know what's actually going on, how extensive the sightings are, how common they are," he said. "They're not just lights in the sky. There's really up-close stuff happening."
Unidentified Craft in Philadelphia; Circle in Missouri; and Crop Formation Update about Hoeven, Holland with Nancy Talbott

7/28/99 HUNTINGDON VALLEY, PA - Two nights ago on July 26th, at 11:12 PM EST, Penny Katz was watching news on television near her bedroom window in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania, a northern suburb of Philadelphia. Penny is a 47-year-old registered nurse who has lived in the region for several years. Outside the window, she suddenly saw an "illuminated derby-shaped object that glowed the color of silver metal." She thought it was as big as half her fist at an arm's length distance as it moved above the trees west to east slowly and steadily.
Penny opened the window, but could not hear sound. As the object moved over her house, she could see what looked like "a crystal chandelier or giant diamond" giving off a sparkling light from the center of the craft's underside. She estimated the diamond was about one-third the size of the entire vehicle. There were no other lights, but she could see a thin, white line extending from the back of the object that reminded her of a laser beam. She watched for over a minute until it went out of sight.
If anyone else in the Huntingdon Valley area saw this unusual craft, too, I would appreciate an e-mail to earthfiles@earthfiles.com. Or FAX me at 215-491-9842.
7/20/99 Missouri - More lights have been videotaped in Missouri where physical trace investigator, Ted Phillips, has been monitoring a rural farm area. Since December 1998, white globes of light and gold ovals that expand and contract like a camera lens have been reported by more than thirty residents.
Last week on July 20, 1999, a bright light showed up around 11:30 PM and hovered over an old barn about 150 feet from the farm house. That caused all the farm dogs to bark frantically. The farmer said it was much larger than the full moon. He watched it for several minutes as it moved upward, stopped, moved back down to its original position and remained stationary.
The next day, a cow gave birth to a dead and grossly deformed calf not far from the barn. The farmer wanted to move the cow from where she gave birth through a narrow fenced corridor filled with 40-inch high fescue pasture grass. There, he found a 9-foot diameter circle pressed down in the deep grass shown in the photograph below. This is the first circle in the Missouri pasture since the lights began appearing eight months ago.

Interview Ted Phillips, Physical Trace Investigator, Reed Springs, Missouri: "And as they were taking the cow up through there, all of a sudden they stopped because right in front of me was a circular area in the alleyway where the fescue was not only swirled in a clockwise pattern, but it was compressed very tightly to the ground.
WHICH YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE IN THAT PHOTOGRAPH.
Oh, yes, and the plants were not scorched, they were not dehydrated, they were not broken and as the photo shows. It's quite a striking thing with that fescue around it.
And immediately I thought of a case in Langenburg, Saskatchewan, 1974, where five objects were seen and leaving five rings almost identical to this thing."
MORE FORMATION REPORTS HAVE BEEN EMERGING IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA AS WELL AS EUROPE AND WITH ME TONIGHT TO GIVE US AN UPDATE ON HER RECENT TRIP TO HOEVEN, HOLLAND WHERE MYSTERIOUS LIGHTS HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH CROP FORMATIONS OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS IS NANCY TALBOTT, DIRECTOR OF THE BLT RESEARCH GROUP IN CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS. NANCY COORDINATES SOIL AND PLANT SAMPLING FROM FORMATIONS AND INTERFACES WITH SEVERAL RESEARCHERS, INCLUDING BIOPHYSICIST W. C. LEVENGOOD IN MICHIGAN. DR. LEVENGOOD'S SCIENTIFIC DATA CONFIRMS THAT IN SOME MYSTERIOUS FORMATIONS THERE HAVE BEEN FUNDAMENTAL BIOCHEMICAL AND BIOPHYSICAL CHANGES IN THE PLANTS THAT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN HOAXED.
WELCOME TO COAST TO COAST, NANCY. BEFORE WE GET INTO THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN HOLLAND, COULD YOU GIVE US A QUICK UPDATE ON THE LATEST CROP FORMATION REPORTS IN THE U.S. AND CANADA (credit: CNews, Canada)
