UFO Confrontation Over Mansfield, Ohio, 1973

Video Link


On October 18, 1973, four military helicoptor crewmen had a dangerous encounter with a cigar-shaped UFO, over Mansfield, Ohio.

The UFO shown a green beam of light onto the helicopter as it descended, in an attempt to avoid a collision. At 1700 feet AGL, the helicopter was stopped in it's descent and lifted back up into the air, stopping at an elevation of about 3800 feet, where the alien craft held it firmly in place, apparently scanning the helicopter.

Meanwhile, the DeLong family was driving on the outskirts of Mansfield, when they saw the encounter between the helicopter and the UFO.  They were interviewed 3 years later.

Twenty years later, Detective John Healy, one of the helicopter crewmen, stepped forward with his account of what had transpired.  The encounter was re-enacted on the popular paranormal documentary TV series, "Sightings".  The episode "UFO over Mansfield, OH" originally aired on 11/13/1994.

MIBs Inspire Movie of the Same Name

'Men In Black' Inspired By Scary Stories Of People Who've Seen UFOs

Huffington Post- When "Men in Black 3" opens everywhere over Memorial Day weekend, most moviegoers will just be hoping this sequel matches the original for popcorn-munching fun.

But there are many people who say they've been victimized by and live in fear of real MIBs. And those stories, told for decades, are just as terrifying as they are detailed.

Ever since the early 1950s, long before the first "Men in Black" movie hit the silver screen in 1997, men dressed in identical black suits, hats and sunglasses, claiming to be government agents, have reportedly shown up in black cars at the homes or offices of people who reported UFO sightings.

According to those who were paid these unwelcome visits, the MIBs threatened or harassed the eyewitnesses into staying quiet about their UFO encounters.

Watch some reported Men in Black encounters:

*

Video link

1947: Harold Dahl reported seeing a group of UFOs while he was on a boat in Washington's Puget Sound. Soon after, he said, he was approached by a black-suited individual who threatened him and his family if he ever talked again about the UFO sighting.

1967: Robert Richardson was driving his car at night in Toledo, Ohio, when he hit something, which, he claimed, then vanished. He found a piece of metal that he believed originated from the mysterious thing he hit. A few days later, two men, wearing black hats and sunglasses and driving a black 1953 Cadillac, visited Richardson at his home at 11 p.m. to ask questions. A week later, two other men arrived, dressed in black suits, and asked Richardson to turn over the metal to them. When he informed them he had sent it for analysis, he said, they threatened to harm his wife if he didn't get it back. He never heard from them again.

But why? Who were -- and, in some cases, still are -- these strange individuals who give out seemingly meaningless warnings about UFO sightings and try to intimidate people?

"They are the archetypal sinister person who turns up on the doorstep specifically in relation to a UFO encounter," said Nick Redfern, author of "The Real Men in Black" (New Page Books, 2011).

"People who have been visited by MIB tend to fall into two categories: One is the UFO witnesses. The other category is researchers who've been visited," Redfern told The Huffington Post.

After digging closely into the history of many reported MIB encounters, Redfern (pictured below) thinks he has a good handle on what may be going on.

"What we have, I'm pretty sure, is a sort of covert department or office or personnel within the official infrastructure. There are people who dress in black deliberately and go around and threaten people in certain circumstances relative to UFOs," he suggested.

"And they look like what you see in the 'Men in Black' movies. They look like agents of the government, like [actors] Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. And they issue veiled warnings not to talk about their UFO encounter."

But then there are the creepier MIB stories that emerge.

Like the one told by Dr. Herbert Hopkins. The respected family physician from Old Orchard Beach, Maine, was home alone on the night of Sept. 11, 1976. At the time, Hopkins was studying a UFO incident.

The phone rang, and a man's voice identified himself as a representative of a New Jersey UFO organization (which turned out to be phony).

"He wanted to know if he could come here and talk to me about the UFO case. He also asked if I was alone, and I said yes," Hopkins told this reporter in 1978 for a story broadcast on NBC Radio.

When Hopkins walked from the phone to the door and turned on the light, the man was already coming up the steps.

"If he was even as close as across the street or next door telephoning, he could not possibly have gotten here as soon as I did to turn on the light for him," recalled Hopkins.

When the stranger came in, Hopkins was struck by his appearance.

"He wore a neatly tailored black suit, black shoes, black socks, a white shirt with black tie, and he wore a black derby. You don't see derbies very often, and I thought to myself, 'This guy looks just like an undertaker.' When he sat down, he removed his derby.

"This character was as bald as an egg. He didn't even have eyebrows or eyelashes. It looked like he had smooth, plastic skin -- like a doll except that it was a dead-white color," Hopkins said.

"His lips were a brilliant ruby red, and he spoke in an expressionless, monotone, scanning speech. He constructed no phrases and sentences -- just a sequence of words evenly spaced. His voice was completely passive with no inflection or intonation, as if you were hearing it from a machine that could talk."

During the short time they were together, Hopkins and the strange man talked about the UFO case that the doctor had been investigating. Hopkins also noticed other very odd things about this Man in Black.

"He sat perfectly motionless and wore grey suede gloves. He idly brushed his lips with the back of a glove, and when he put his hand down, the back of his glove was bright red and the red on his mouth was smeared, so I knew he was wearing lipstick.

"Then I could see that his mouth was a perfectly straight slit. Apparently, he did not have what we call lips, so the lipstick was put on as a decoy -- his mouth was more like a ventriloquist's dummy."

This classic MIB story gets even stranger.

The odd visitor told Hopkins to take a coin out of his pocket and hold it in the palm of his hand.

"He said, 'Watch the coin,' and it started to develop a silver color instead of copper, and then the silver became bluish and the penny was getting quite fuzzy, out of focus, blurred, and then it simply was gone -- it slowly dematerialized."

Following the coin magic, the stranger ordered the doctor to destroy all information he had gathered about the UFO case.

"As he spoke his last words, I noticed his speech was slowing down. His words became slower and farther spaced. He slowly got to his feet, unsteadily, and he said very slowly, 'My -- energy -- is -- running -- low -- must -- go -- now -- goodbye.' Just like that."

Hopkins said that the MIB -- whoever or whatever he was -- clung tightly to the railing as he went down the steps outside, placing both feet on each step, and then disappeared around the corner into a bright light.

When the chilling encounter was over, a terrified, intimidated Hopkins destroyed all traces of any UFO materials he had.

Dan Aykroyd's personal account of a possible MIB encounter:

So who are the real Men in Black who have scared people for decades? Are they government agents trying to spread disinformation about UFOs? But for what purpose?

"The MIB movies are very entertaining, but they portray one angle of a mystery that is actually two-pronged," said Redfern.

"You've got this government conspiracy angle, but you've also got this Gothic archaic mystery that ties in as much with the occult and paranormal as it does with flying saucers."

Source: Huffingtonpost.com

Editor's Note: Some folks seem to be upset by the "Men In Black" movies.  I for one, find them very entertaining.  Sometimes it's a relief to joke about a serious subject. 

Before I became a UFO Researcher/Investigator, I had been witness to several UFO sightings.  One was an object being chased by a jet.  Several days later I was paid a visit.  Not by men dressed in black suits but a "black" helicopter, which hovered just a couple of feet off the ground, about 30 feet from my house.

I stared at the blackened windshield, knowing full well that they could see me, though I could not see them.  That was a form of intimidation but as you can clearly see, it didn't work.  I'll keep on seeking the truth and reporting sightings.

Oh, I do plan to see MIB3, this weekend.  I need a good laugh.

Movie in the making- Apollo Minus Project

*

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.

Daniel Conroy (1986 – Presumed Dead Spring 2011)

Grandson of Colonel James A. Conroy

Age: 25

Missing 06/2011

Last Seen Following his Grandfather’s Route, Town of Rachel, Lincoln County, Nevada.

Note: There is a small reward for any information leading to Daniel’s recovery.

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.

Dinosaurs and Aliens, oh my!

T-Rex is dropped off by "aliens"- Depiction by SW/LITS

     *

This article was posted in 2008 but that being 4 years ago, perhaps scientists have already succeeded and there are living dinosaurs among us!

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1026340/Jurassic-Park-comes-true-How-scientists-bringing-dinosaurs-life-help-humble-chicken.html

Just because someone is exceptionally smart, does not mean they have any "common sense".

I've said for some time now, that I feel this has been done and is still going on today. As seen in the movie, Jurassic Park was a huge mistake and life could imitate art here.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/23/opinion/23sun3-3.html

http://www.world-science.net/othernews/060814_extinct.htm

I also believe that "aliens" could also have a hand in re-introducing extinct flora and fauna to this planet. Evidently I am not alone in this "theory."

http://www.unsolvedrealm.com/2011/04/26/lazarus-species-back-from-the-deadreally/

We ourselves transfer alien species from one location to the next, by accident, or by design. On the downside, the cane toad and others.

http://www.questacon.edu.au/indepth/clever/control_ferals.html

On the good side, giant tortoises.

http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/news-introducing-new-giant-tortoises-area-native-giants-are-extinct-works-restore-ecosystem

Aside from all that, hypothetically speaking, what if extinct species were brought back, say the Wooly Mammoth and the Pleistocene Ice Age, steppe wisent (Bison priscus). No big deal, right?

Well what if the predators were brought back, those Carnivorous Monsters better left in nightmares and movies, the Sabre Toothed Tiger (Smilodon), the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the Allosaurus and the exceptionally smart Utah Raptors.

Brought back in enough numbers, who do you think would become extinct? We would no longer be at the top of the food chain.

With people seeing flying Pterosaurs, water monsters like "Nessie" and "Champ", Mokèlé-mbèmbé and Bigfoot, just to name a few, is it just imagination, or is it a growing reality?

I may not have the answers in my lifetime but my grand daughter might. I hope it will be answers she can live with...

And if all this isn't enough, Men in Black II (also MB1 & MB3) director Barry Sonnenfeld, in collaboration with comic book writer Grant Morrison and Liquid Comics, is writing a novel and screenplay entitled Dominion: Dinosaurs Versus Aliens. Oh, I can't wait.

4th Kind - Where's The Truth?

By Budd Hopkins
www.intrudersfoundation.org
© 11-6-09

UFO Chronicles- On Tuesday, Nov. 3, as I sat in a theater being bombarded with soundtrack noise - screams - many screams - and melodramatic, over-the-top music, I was watching the new, self-described UFO abuction film, The Fourth Kind, and wondering how the screenwriters could get so many things wrong.

Ostensibly set in Nome, Alaska - which, by the way, looks ravishingly pretty in the film's many elaborate aerial views - the plot is focused on a therapist and her clients who have apparently suffered UFO abductions, and at least one of these "abductees," the therapist's little daughter, seems to have been taken for good.

The film moves along, more or less propelled by fake hypnosis sessions in which virtually every subject screams bloody murder. One man, grotesquely unhinged by what he remembers during one such session, actually commits murder, blowing away his innocent wife, his two children and himself. And in this and every other case shown in the movie, apart from an owl at the window no one has previously remembered anything about his or her abduction experiences until hypnosis finally unlocks the ghastly, unbearable truth and the screaming starts.
