Goldwater UFO Files: The Highlights
by UFO updates on Feb.16, 2012, under Breaking News
The Goldwater letters run from 1966 to 1996. You will note that after 1981 when Goldwater becomes Chairman of Senate Intelligence Committee he no longer says I don't know much more than the man on the street.
1967 regarding the release of the “sensitive” files at WPAFB. If they were released “I think the information would be meager and not be substantiated fully”… “I can understand the sensitive and secret nature of these files”
In 1974 “I have no information that is not available to you and I am not aware exactly of what the Air Force might have…”
November 1974 - “I have tried in the years past to have the material collected by the Air Force to no avail. It is still classified above top secret. I have, however, heard that there is a plan underway to release some if not all, of this material in a book in the relative near future.”
November 1975 “It is still classified Top Secret. I have heard that there is a plan under way to release some, if not all, of this material in the near future.”
March 1975 – “It is still classified above Top Secret. I have, however, heard that there is a plan under way to release some, if not all of this material in the near future.”
May 1975 – “It is still classified above Top Secret. I have, however, that there is a plan to release some, if not all of this material in the near future, and I hope this is carried out.”
November 1975 - “It is still classified above Top Secret. I have, however, that there is a plan to release some, if not all of this material in the near future. I’m just as anxious to see this material as you are, and I hope we will not have to wait much longer.”
May 1977 – “If my secretary comes into my office and said, ‘there’s little man outside – he’s green—he has three eyes and an antenna coming out of his head,’ I would say,’ Show him in,’ because I wouldn’t be surprised.”
Februay 1978 – “I made an attempt to get into the room at Wright-Patterson Field where information was stored and I was denied this request, understandably. Frankly, I’m no expert on this subject; I’ve never made lengthy statements on it. What I’ve told you just about sums it up.”
June 27, 1978 to Col. Bill Coleman – ‘I will argue either way about UFOs; I can’t turn a blind eye to it. Something has to be there.”
November 1978 – “I truly doubt the Air Force has classified information on this subject not available to me.”
April 1980 – “He (LeMay) told me in no uncertain terms that I could not visit it and, furthermore, that he could not visit it either. After that I just left it alone and forgot about it. However, I believe that the material has been spread around into different archives of the Air Force.”
July 1980 – I have never been allowed to see the material that the Air Force collected, and I don’t blame them. I think it should be kept secret, but I hope one of these days we are going to know the whole story, and I hope I am around when it all comes to light.”
May 1981 – “The reason I wanted to see the highly classified files on UFOs at Wright Patterson was not to see any remains, because I don’t know of any UFO that supposedly crashed.”
July 15, 1981 –“Relative to your question about the accuracy of the details in the “Roswell Incident,” they are partially true, but not completely. I can’t give you any other answer than that so please don’t push it.”
August 31, 1981 – “I have been interested in this subject for a long time and I do know that whatever the Air Force has on the subject is going to remain highly classified.”
Close Encounters of the First Kind: Do we really care? Part Two.

Our first and unsurprising "conclusion" is that they continue to defy any detailed pattern, just as their earlier sister set of cases also did so deny [how's that for 19th century British sentence structure? --- sorry, my PhD is in 19th century History of Science and Technology]. If anything these characters may even be a little bit more diverse. Even the two "diamond hexagonal" objects differed mightily in size, although they were both on the small side when it comes to UFOs. It was nice that the one lady felt that she saw the same shaped craft ten years and several hundred miles apart, but even that might give one some cause for out-of-control speculation [feel free; it doesn't hurt that much if you're honest about it].
As to the specific sightings: There are some of UFOlogy's strongest CE1s in this set. I've found over the years, even in very informal polls at UFO get-togethers, that folks differ greatly in their "favorite case lists", but a couple of these above make them more than not [ Red Bluff and Exeter]. [I've read recently an attempt to debunk Exeter, but if you read the extensive interviews by John Fuller and others on this case, you see rather quickly that the persons pushing the debunk aren't interested in addressing the whole case's details]. And Red Bluff is a UFO Titan no matter how you want to cut it. In that case the Air Force and Donald Menzel actually used atmospheric diffraction of stars WHICH WERE NOT EVEN IN THE SKY YET to come up with what was a totally ridiculous concept anyway. THAT was one of the biggest, most over-the-top, explanatory stupidities or dishonesties [take your pick] in the history of the field.
There are other cases in the list of similar confidence... but I've placed alongside to the left a drawing of one just too late to have made that panel: Mackay, Queensland 1965 [actually it may well have made it if I was being obsessive about month-&-day order but life's too short for such nonsense in filing.]
The picture above is the artwork from the old J.Allen Hynek slideshow, illustrating the concept of a close encounter of the first kind using the Exeter case. It is a pretty faithful rendition from witness testimony vs some of the other representations that you see [example, see the picture at the very top of this post; also supposed to represent Exeter]. It points out another danger in these drawings: never put anything out there without the approval of the witness. It as an old prof friend of mine would say "subtracts from the sum total of knowledge in the Universe".

Tom Bradley and Sarah Bolton slowly walked up the short ramp of the small aircraft not of earth origin which was written in the reports although the Colonel still would slip and call it a UFO.
As Tom and Sarah took their seats the chairs conformed to their bodies as usual. Then the console lights came on which was also normal each time they came on board the spacecraft.

UFO movie news round-up (1 Jan. 2012)
by UFO updates on Dec.31, 2011, under Breaking News
Harrison Ford is to play the role of Colonel Hyram Graff in Ender's Game, a big screen adaptation of Orson Scott Card’s classic – and, until now, “unfilmable” – sci-fi novel about a future Earth under threat of invasion by a race of insectoid aliens known as 'Formics'. Set seventy years after an epic human/alien war, the story follows the character of Ender Wiggin, a young boy whose tactical genius offers hope for humanity in the face of a new Formic invasion.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ender's Game will also star Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit), Abigail Breslin and Ben Kingsly. Ben Hood (Rendition, X-Men: Origins) will helm the production, while Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (whose credits include Transformers and Cowboys and Aliens) will produce. Shooting begins in February and the movie will hit cinemas in March 2013.

Movie in the making- Apollo Minus Project
by UFO updates on Oct.12, 2011, under Breaking News
I received a request from Nick Ronan, film producer with Chance of Fate Productions, asking if I would help promote his movie project.
I don't intend to make it a habit promoting movies but this one looks promising, so I decided to let Nick tell it in his own words. -SW

| Official Apollo Insignia |
For years rumors have circulated throughout NASA about Apollo 11’s controversial “findings” in 1969. For over forty years, the government has kept these files “classified.” Now, for the first time ever, Apollo Minus Project is a bold new independent film that investigates these “findings.”
Based on actual events, the film follows the story of DANIEL CONROY, a young documentary filmmaker who sets out to uncover the truth about his grandfather, James L. Conroy, an Air Force pilot and U.S. Astronaut. Colonel Conroy vanished mysteriously in the deserts of Nevada in 1970, six months after returning from a top-secret mission to investigate evidence of extraterrestrial life.
Here’s what we know: Daniel Conroy (25) disappeared while finishing this documentary. Most of the footage that will be used to assemble this film was taken from his home camera. The mystery of the Conroy family remains untold.
This is not another alien monster flick. Nor is it another ET family feel-good movie.
As the film’s producer, I would like to suggest that Daniel uncovered something that has remained hidden for many years. Something that his grandfather knew. Something that potentially cost them both their lives.
The film is an intimate blend between The Blair Witch Project and District 9. It is the story of a boy’s struggle to hold his broken family together after the effects of his grandfather’s contact with alien life. It is an odyssey. A conspiracy story. A hunt for clues in dark places where there is no safe return, where the witnesses hide in dark corners and whisper, “We are not alone.”
Please check out the film’s official teaser (video).
Or visit our kickstarter page to learn how to get more involved and help fund this project. Right now we are still seeking funding to continue our research and prepare for full production in 2012.
