Jerry Buginsky of New Haven Township, outside Owosso, stands in a mysterious, 15-foot, crop circle that appeared in his soybean field.

In 45 years of farming, Jerry Buginsky had never seen anything like it.

While cutting a field planted in clover, he noticed an odd-looking circle of dead vegetation about two feet wide.

"I paced it off in different directions," Buginsky said. "It was 10 feet in diameter on the inside, 12 feet on the outside. Everything in that (band) was dead -- the weeds, the clover, everything."

Queenslanders are leading reporters of unidentified flying objects, with more than 100 of the 128 recorded official sightings around Australia in the past two years coming from the Sunshine State.

And according to a Queensland UFO specialist, while many sightings were ruled out as stars, planets, meteors and planes, a "significant number" remained unexplained.

UFO Research Queensland's Lee Paqui said the state's hotspots for sightings included the Glass House Mountains, Toowoomba, Warwick, Ipswich and the far north.

"The most common sightings are the orange balls, and white balls that look like stars but move and display very erratic behaviour, like they'll make right-hand turns," she said.

Step back 40 years to the heady days of 1967 as Andy Roberts explains how the Summer of Love was in part shaped by the hippie movement's fascination with flying saucers.

Comment: Consider this article, which goes to great lengths to strongly associate all and any talk of flying saucers with the taking of hallucinogenic drugs by unstable drop-outs looking for hedonistic novelty. Then compare and contrast this with the Richard Dolan podcast. The difference could hardly be more striking.

Tasman Sea: UFO identified?


Northern News
Wed, 17 Oct 2007 11:17 UTC
A mystery object seen in skies over the Tasman Sea near Kaitaia two months ago was most likely a commercial aircraft.

That is the conclusion Wekaweka amateur astronomer Bill Keir has drawn after investigating photos taken by a man at Ahipara on April 28 at 5.42pm.

Mr Keir, who studied three Northland UFO sightings in the 1980s, visited Ahipara last month to determine the location of the object using scientific measurements.

The object in the photos could not have been an astronomical body, such as Venus, he says.

Information provided by Airways Corporation of New Zealand points to it being the contrails of an aircraft bound for Australia.

Raye Laufer of Lacomb describes objects she saw fly over her house one night in late September.

On Saturday, Sept. 22, the Laufers stepped outside to smoke cigarettes in the forested back yard of their Moran Lane home, nestled in a quiet valley among hills about five miles outside from Lacomb. It was shortly after 9 p.m., a clear night.

The couple fixed their attention on two long, silver, bullet-shaped objects flying side-by-side across the sky. Neither object had lights or made a sound, Raye said, and they soon split up: One headed east, the other toward the northeast.

It's not from an aircraft.

That's the FAA's determination, announced today, of its examination of a 16-inch-long piece of twisted metal that fell from the sky Monday in Stanton, slicing through the roof of a parked sport utility vehicle.

That means the origin of the brown, hook-shaped object - which still was smoldering and too hot to touch when firefighters arrived on scene - remains a mystery. The FAA is still investigating, FAA spokesman Jim Peters said.

SOTT Focus: New Podcast! Richard Dolan, Author of UFOs and the National Security State Talks With Signs of the Times


Signs of the Times
Wed, 17 Oct 2007 16:49 UTC


Richard Dolan

Richard Dolan is a historian who specialized in the period of the cold war and the development of the national security state in the United States. One day in a bookshop he picked up a book on UFOs. Many of the names cited were familiar to him from his research. He began to investigate the topic of UFOs and the national security state, plowing through US government documents. His research convinced him that there was something there, something that is so disturbing to governments that jet fighters are sent up to chase them. Rich joins the editors of Signs of the Times for a discussion of UFOs, conspiracies, and why some people just can't see what is in front of their faces.

Manitoba, Canada: Strange sky sights pick up

The night skies over Manitoba were apparently busier than usual last month.

Nearly triple the average number of UFO sightings were reported, according to Chris Rutkowski, research coordinator for Ufology Research of Manitoba, a Winnipeg-based independent centre that investigates and researches Canadian UFO sightings.

"It's significantly above what we normally get," said Rutkowski, adding 11 sightings in Manitoba were submitted in September.

The monthly average is about three or four, he said.

Ufology Research is concerned that most of the sightings were not reported to investigators in Manitoba but were instead submitted to websites around the globe.
