This is one of a few unusual photographs of a UFO in whichit appears to be three objects but is ac~ually one. It wastaken by an anonymous biochemist who has a PhD. The locationwas Diamond Peak Park near Willamette Pass, Oregon, U.S.A.It was taken on November 22, 1966 in black and white usingan old camera with a 1/30 sec. exposure. He saw only one UFO.It appears to be about 30 feet in diameter, 7t feet tall.The negatives and the camera were examined by Fred Adrian ofCUFOS. The analysis by Adrian was published in PhotographicMagazine in the U.S. and in the Journal of the Royal Photo­graphic Society of Great Britain.************************************************************

UFOs AND THE EIEC,TRONIC MEDIAby Lawrence J. Fenwick

1986 began with one of thebest sci-fi films, The Day theEarth Stood Still, being shownon WGRZ-TV, an NBC affiliatein Buffalo, New York, on Jan­uary 3, at 12.30 a.m.(actuallySaturday, the 4th). The way inwhich the two major Torontonewspapers covered ~t in. theirTV magazines was qUlte dlfferentin terms of their descriptionof the humanoid in the story.

The Globe and Mail is knownfor its conservativism and itssuperior attitude toward thereaders. It described the hum­anoid as a "morally superiorbeing" and only rated the pict­ure 3t· stars. The Toronto Starin contrast just called him a"visiting alien" and gave thefilm a deserved 4 star rating.This fits with its more liberalbent in general, as a newspaper.

The Star's political stancewas mirrored in stating that

the humanoid had come to saythat "nations should learn toco-exist peacefully."

The Globe merely referred to"warnings about nuclear tech­nology". This also fits in withthe paper's bias towards tech­nology itself rather than withpeople per se. It called themovie "sci-fi", whereas theStar denoted it as "science".

The Globe calls the film"well-made"; the Star doesnot venture an opInion inwords. Neither descriptionmentions the subtle anti­fascist tone of the film~. .

A showing on CFTO-TV, theCanadian Television Network(CTV) outlet in Toronto onJanuary 4 of the movie madefor television The MysteriousTwo was not given detaileddescription by the Globe. TheStar did so. The film wasshown at 12.15 a.m.(the 5th)and made no reference to thepeople on whom the film'Sstory was based, "Bo" and"Peep" who were a pair of conartists out for monetary gainand pUblicity and who touredNorth America speaking to thegullible and curious generalpublic. The Star rated it at2 stars, which is equivalent toa poor to fair label.

Two independent televisionstations in the Southern Ont_ario-Western New York State

CUFORN BULLETIN JAN.-FEB., 1986

area showed Endangered Species,a motion picture about the oddcattle mutilations reported inNorth AMerica in recent decades.

Although the newspapers donot know that the "mutes", asthey are known to researchers,involve secret experiments,the independent TV stationsseem to manage to show thismovie fairly often comparedto other films about strangeevents. Whether the TV stationmanagements have been told alittle more than the news­papers is a disputable point.Possibly they feel that thereis more to th~ "mute" situationthan meets the eye.

The two TV stations areChannel 57, CITY-TV, in Torontoand Channel 29, WUTV, inBuffalo, New York.

MOVIE REPEATED A MONTH LATERThe showings were on the

American station first, onJanuary 9 at 8 p.m.(PRIME TIME)and on CITY-TV on Feb.5, at11.JO p.m. One; channel repeatedthe movie later in the evening,CITY-TV. It had it on at J.25a.m.(the 6th) as if it shouldbe seen by as many people aspossible. Movies are normallyrepeated on the same day onlyby the Pay-TV channels. Thisseems most unusual.

Another curious aspect wasthat Channel 57,CITY-TV, saidit was 2 hours and 10 minuteslong at the 11.JO p.m.viewingtime and only 2 hours and 5minutes long at J.25 a.m. Whatdid they excise from the movie?Or was it merely that theToronto Star made a typograph­ical error?

J

-The Star said the movie wasabout a-"ehain of grotesquecattle'mutilations in Colorado~

The Globe failed to mentionColorado and gave a decriptionof the film which was mostuncharacteristic of the paper'susual conservatism. It said"A bizarre plague of cattlemutilations leads to somehorrifying discoveries." Itwent on to say that the moviewas an "intriguing thriller".

The Globe called EndangeredSpecie~sci-fi", while theStar said it was a suspensefilm.

Neither newspaper mentionedthat the leading character inthe movie was a journalist.The Globe did not even mentionthat there was anyone of arespected profession amongstthe roles played, whereas theStar did state that two ofthe three main roles were thatof a female sheriff and aretired New York policeman.

The WUTV presentation onJanuary 9 was 2 hours long,according to the Star. TheGlobe does not give movie lengthin its TV magazine listings. Ofcourse, you will note that wenow have three different lengthsfor the motion picture.

On January 2J, WUTV repeatedthe movie, this time at 1 inthe afternoon, so the house­wives and shut-ins could see it.It seems that they want every­one to see this film.

Buffalo's WGRZ-TV had TheDisappearance of Flight 412 onFriday, January 16 at J.45 a.m.The Kingston, Ontario TV statio~showe~ it on February 4 at 11.)0p.m. Globe coverage mentioned UFOs;The Star did not do so.

Jounalist Mort Young, in his1967 book UFO: Top Secret

Pentagon Retaliates Against Army &aployee's Pursuit of Crashed-Saucer Records •••

• • • No, the above headline isn't quoted from USA Today, 1ut it, or a variation there­of, might soon be gracing the pages of that and oUter newspapers.

Yes, after tvo years of. fretting over how best to deal with UFOlogica1 gadfly Larry ••Bryant, his employer, the Office of the Army Chief of Public Affairs (where Bryant sinceJanuary 1981 has been serving as Associate Editor of the Army News Service), finally hasdecided on the customary method: -the Fitzgerald treatment" (referring, of course, torenowned Air Force cost-overrun whist1eb1ower A. Ernest I'itzgerald). The treatment goeslike this:' t

Follow the letter of the employee's. written performance standards (a set of emp10yee­superrlsor-agre~d-upon factors showing the quality and quantity of work performance ex­pected of the employee throughout the year-long supervisory rating 'period). Start seiz­ing on any detectable weakness -- such as minor errors of omission/commission, document­ing the cirCUllStances. In that -building a case- process, start orally chipping away atthe employee's sense of self-worth and professional competence; assign h:lJB. an inordiDatenumber of senseless or mundane projects, and subject his resulting work product to sev­eral hypercritical reviewers, who are preselected to deliver the planned verdict on thework's acceptability. Use this eventual supervisory record of out-of-context events, in­nuendo, uDSubstantiated charges, and half-truths toward entering a formal rating of "un­satisfactoryft at the end of the rating period. Continually hold this threat of imminentdemotion or dismissal over the employee's head, lowering or raising it as the supervisordeems necessary. Use any evidence of the employee's predictable low morale to show he'sno longer a team payer, and hence is adversely affecting the overall productivity ofhis work section.

In time the hapless, "Fitzgeralded" viotim of reprisal has a choice between two ac­tions: flight or fight.

Bryant, after a near-flight back in July 1985, now has chosen to stand his ground andto fight this gross abuse of authority.

On Nov. 14, 1985, he filed a petition with the Special Counsel's office of the U. S.Merit Systems Protection Board in Washington, D.C. That Board, of course, has thecharter and power to put a stop to Federal-agency reprisals against so-called whist1e­blowers.

Does Bryant consider himself a whist1eb10wer? Well, indirectly, yes -- consideringhis recent efforts in placing advertisements in various military post/base newspapers tosolicit the testimony of whist1eb10wers in the Cosmic Watergate -- such as the one below,pUblished (after some urging) in the Fort Dix, N.J., ~ on March 8, 1985:

CUFORN BULLETIN JAN.-FEB.,l986

BryaDt'S submission of that adsimply was too much for official­dom -- starting with Dix's PublicAffairs Officer, Lt. Col. NormanK. Otis, who pUblishes the weeklyPost, and who chose to track downBrYant's employer. (Note: thusfar, the base newspaper at McGuireAFB, N.J.; has refUsed to print asiJIilar ad, aimed at the USAFreadership. )

BLOWTHE WHISTLE ON THEDIX· McGUIRE UFO CONNECTION

Where is he now? .. Army "Sgt. Anon.' the military policeman who, back in1978. pursued (and shot dead) a disembarked occupant of a nighttime_UFO seen maneuvering near Fort Dix and McGuire AFB. Where are the au·topsy report and other rRords of this incident? If you, or someone youknow, can furnish us answers to those questions, contact us immediatelyso that we can use your evidence/testimony in compelling the Govern·ment's full accountability under the U.S. freedom of Information Act.

. CAUS3518 Martha Custis Dr.,Write: Alexandria, Va 22302.

By questioning, through Army command channels, whether Bryant was trying to use hisofficial capacity to compel the ad's publication, Otis succeeded in inspiring the wrathof one Col. Douglas H. Rogers, who heads the OCPA Command Information Division at thePentagon.

Rogers used the Otis insinuation as a lever of intimidation, suggesting to Bryantthat it might be prudent to construct some name other than Larry W. Bryant in any fur­ther ad submissions.

Only slightly daunted by that confrontation, Bryant proceeded like a wounded bulltoward this red flag now being waved before him. His next charge proved crippling. Itwa~ the following advertisement, sent on Karch 20, 1985, to the Fort Rucker, Ala., postnewspaper, the!!!!!::

$1,000 OFFER FOR SPECIAL UFO EVIDENCEFor use in the UFO-related-injury damage suit at Cash-La,ndrum Vs. United states,we're prepared to pay $1,000 for your verifiable evidence/testimony leading tothe identity and testimOny of the organization(s) and aviators associated withthe score or so tandem-rotor helicopters seen maneuvering around the huge, radi­ant UFO on the night of Dec. 29, 1980, near Dayton, Texas. Contact us immediate­ly to help end the government coverup and stonewalling on its role in that inci­dent. All evidence submitted will be evaluated by a forensic panel of UFO re­searchers, after which you'll be notified if you qualify for the $1,000. Write:CAUS, 3518 14artha Custis Dr., Alexandria, VA 22302.

When the Flier's printer returned Bryant's prepayment check with no explanation,Bryant wrote-a-ro11ow~p letter to Rucker's Public Affairs Officer, seeking an expla­nation for the ad's rejection. lIe waited for more than two months for a reply. Re­ceiving none, he wrote a complaint letter to Rucker's Inspector General. That letterproduced this response of June 18, 1985, from the Public Affairs Officer, Lt. Col.lawrence R. Retta:

"I stopped the ad from being placed in the Flier because it implies legal action isongoing. Your ad refers to the injury damage suit at Cash-Landrum Vs. United States.The post Staff JUdge Advocate's Office agrees with my decision. If litigation has beencompleted I will allow the ad to be published."

It was about this time that one of Bryant's superiors -- Print Media Branch chiefMaj. Mark A. Brzozowski -- called him in for a performance-couDse1ing session. out oftha t Cde the major's formal warning letter setting forth Bryant's alleged shortcomingsand threatening to lead to an end-of-year performance rating of "unsatisfactory.1t(Bryant's previous three annual ratings were lIexceptiona1. II Throughout the currentrating period, Bryant's immediate supervisor, ARNEWS chief Capt. Thomas G. SUrface, haschosen to give Bryant high marks on the routine "SUpervisory Rating Sheet" that accom­panied a number of application forms for job vacancies of interest to Bryant.)

"How," asks Bryant in his petition to the Herit Sys tems Protection Board, "can anexceptiona~ rated employee sUddenly' zoom to persona non grata in the space or sever­al months? What terrible, unpardonable sin have I collllllitted that "aaleS arrant suchofficial wrath as I've continued to experience in ever-Tescalating increments? The an­swer: nothing, except 1llY insistence on exercising rq First Amendment rights. 1t

Feeling that it was tille to retreat to the brier patch, Bryant, in early July, _twith Rogers to announce the decision to drop the ad campaign and to withdraw froll parti­cipation in the planned CAUS FOIl lawsuit for compelling the public release of the gov­ernment's crashed-saucer records.

For the next aeveral IIIOnths, there ,eelled to be in the office an a'blosphere of mutualrelief that Bryant final1~ was colling to his senses and returning to the Urological clos­et. BnozowsJd had IIOved on to a new job, and SUrface was expected to do the sue ill!\bvember -- but not, as it turns out, before his completing the hatchet job on Bryant.By his counseling letter to Bryant on ~v. 6, SUrface has ·dutirul.17 carried CIlt IDgers'final solution to ·the Bryant Problem. With that quantum leap in the escalating harass­ment, Bryant had no choice but to "go public" -- and the rest wiU _ke legal and uro­logical history.

In his petition's conclud:lng remarks, Bryant noted:

"I of course don't relish being the 'A. Ernest Fitzgerald of' the Arrq,' orthe 'Karen Si1larood of the Pentagon' (an appellation I've inferred frOll Rogers'first con1'rontation witb me back in 1983, when be reminded me of the aysteriousdemise of two C.I.A. agents) -- or:' the 'Sakharovof the United. states.' Illdeed,I wish to regard JBy'Self as neither hero nor martyr, but merely as a citizen con­vinced that this gross abuse of authority must be dealt with swiftly and decisi­vely -- even if the resolution process cause me further distraction and discom­fort. And I hope that from this petition you can readi~ comprehend the kind ofmentality I've been up againat. It goes like this: In govel'ml8nt, there's onlyone thiDg worse than a whietleblower, and that's a person who, like Larry W.Bryant, insists on soliciting tbe testimony of "histleblowers."

tiSUHING THE UFO (NEIlS) P.Al'.1m aUSB

Now that the confrontation has turned from softball to hardball, W'hat will Bryant bedoing while his case makes the rounds toward eventual resohltion? "For one thing,· hesaid, "I'm renewing MY effort to compel the Public Affairs Officer at Peterson AFB,Colo., to nil rq ad that he arbitrari1:y rejected several aonths ago. This ad, inci­denta~, already has been printed in the base newspaper at Bolling AFB, washington,D.C." The ad happens to be based on the oontinuing research of Cincinnati residentLeonard H. Stringfield, whose published monograph on UFO crash-retrieval case historiesserves as a basis for JIOst of the ads Bryant has been creating.

When the Peterson officials ignored Bryant's appeal to withdraw their rejection, heproceeded to use the U. S. Freedom of Information Aot to ferret whatever documentationmight shed further light on this act or cehsorship. Once again, he was stymied -- thistime by Pe terson 's assertion that to release the s Ix records shoring how the officialsarrived at their censorship decision would reveal the Air Force's "predecisional delib­erative process." Bryant, or course, filed an appeal of that denial, to no avail. Thenhe requested that the "ithheld records be released under terms of the U. S. Privacy Act,on the basis of his belief that "these records affect the status of my privacy as re­gards the identity of my employer" (referring to Peterson's Inspector General's earlieradmission that he knew Bry&l')t was an ArrJry employee). That request now denied, and the

CUFORN BULLETIN JAN.-FEB., 1986 7

denial sustained on appeal, Bryant intends to tile suit in Federal District Court tooverturn the denial -- especially since he feels the requested records might have adirect bearing on the Army's conduct toward Bryant's UFO-research activities.

Here's how the Peterson/Bolling ad reads:

BlD'H THE lfHISTLE ON MILITARY MEDICINE'S UFO COVERUP

If you were one of "Dr. Anon. 's" colleagues/assistants during his autopsyof a crewmember retrieved from a crash-landed "flying saucer" some 30 yearsago, we need your corroborative testimony to add to the evidence we'vegathered thus far in our FOrA quest for the records of that autopsy. Ifyou can lead us to the current whereabouts of the relevant photos, medicaldrawings, and clinical reports, we' 11 be able to file suit to oompe1 theirimmediate, full release. The public has a right to know about these human­oid visitors, and the Government has the duty to tell. Now, at last, youcan do your part to make that principle work. Write: CAUS... •

Some of Bryant's other unfinished business includes recent events at Headquarters,U. S. Army Military District of washington, whose Public Affairs Office publishes thePentagon's weekly Army newspaper, the Pentagram. In the past, when9ver the Bolling Beamnewspaper ran ~y of Bryant's UFO ads, they alSo automatically appeared that week in thePentagram and the nearby walter Reed Army Medical Center's paper (the strile) - allthl"ee printed by the same commercial firm in Alexandria. But when Rogers earned ofthis practice (from a conversation with Bryant), he ap.parently instructed the MDlI/Reedofficials to cease running the ads -- since the latest two that subsequently ran in theBeam failed to appear in the penta~stripe. Realizing the intervention, Bryant, when'heiubmitted the following ad in une(only to withdraw it, under pressure, in July),reminded the papers' printer of his obligation to run it in all three papers. The print­ing firm's ad saleswoman told Bryant that from now on all his proposed ads had to bescreened for acceptability by both the Air Force and Army Public Affairs officials con­cerned:

BREAJcrHROUGH ON THE DIX-HCGUIRE UFO CONNECTmN

Thanks to the conscience pangs of one of the principals involved, we now havea document confirming some of the events surroonding the slaying of a UFO oc­cupant back in Jan. 1978 near Fort Dix/McGuire !FB, N.J. As we seek addition­al evidence on the incident -- such as the autopsy report and all intelligenceevalnations -- we invite the testimony of other whist1eb1owers so we can compela fUll Congressional inquiry. The pUblic has a right to know all the detailsof this and of other hard-core UFO cases -- and the government has the duty totell. write: CAUS....

WAT YOO CAN DO

If you 'reas angry as we are over this blatant effort to muzzle Bryant (and, indirect­ly, CAUS), we suggest you so notify your congressmen/senators. Send them a copy of thisreport, and ask them to have the appropriate Congressional committees look immediatelyinto the matter and furnish you a fUll report of their findings.

~ditor's Note: In a March 7, 1986 phone conversation with LarryBryant, he said his rating's fight has been lost, but he is tryingto enlist the services of several orgc..nizations in a lawsuit concerningthis action. One of these is the American Civil Liberties Union. Heexpects a long court battle in this matter. We wish him success inhis suit. .

The public education effort involved sending letters to 10local libraries. including the Library of Congress. offeringa speaker for NUFOIW and also a free three-volume set of UFOgovernment documents. The Library Set includes the threevolumes which the FUND has been selling. plus the "DocumentCompanion" (a 2a-page paper by Dr. Maccabee that discussesindividual documents). plus the formerly Top Secret AirIntelligence Report ("Ghost of the Estimate") that was releasedlast March. The FUND was honored to learn that the Library ofCongress wanted a copy. and it received the first donated set.Other local libraries have received sets as well. The LibrarySet. which is handsomely bound in a three-ring notebook. isavailable for $125.00.

..

The Fm~D was represented at the Massachusetts MUFON meetingby Dr. Maccabee. Fred Whiting. Larry Bryant and Phil Reynolds.The two-day meeting was well attended. thanks to the effortsof Marge Christensen and others in Mass. MUFON. The FUND hada section of a table and sold documents and research papers.Dr. ~~ccabee was interviewed on a local Boston station; healso delivered two impromptu talks at the meeting. One wasan "after dinner" talk on recent circular depressions, or"saucer nests." found in England and a series of color slidephotographs of unusual lights in Connecticut in 1981. Theother talk. at the very end of the meeting, was on the activitiesof the FUND.

At Marge Christensen's request, a collection was taken up for the FUND. Theamount of contributions collected, plus revenue from the sales of documents,netted over $500 for the FUND. For this, our sincere thanks to the members ofMass. MUFON.

During this quarter, the COMPUFON network has really come "on line." If youare interested in "UFO networking," call (206) 788-5307 and talk to MichaelHart. Tell him the FUND sent you.

Also during this quarter, the Executive Committee approved a British proposalfor a study of British "phantom airships" of 1913. This proposal will be sentto the ~ational Board for final approval. The Executive Committee also approved$1,000 for William Moore (author of The Roswell Incident), to be paid uponreceipt of newly-relased documents and his historical analysis of them.

An interesting note: FATE magazine (October 1985) carries an excellent (sinceit is favorable, how could it be anything but excellent?) review of Dr.Maccabee's paper, "Revised UFO History." The paper was originally given atthe '!Crashed Saucer" meeting in Washington in November 1983. The paper approachesUFO history from the point of view that the Air Force got the "hardware" inJuly 1947 (the "Roswell Incident ~'). Also ment ioned in the FATE review are thegovernment documents and the results of the psychological study of abductees,both available through the FUND (see enclosed order form). May we suggestthat you buy ,a copy and see what FATE has in store for you? .
