UFORA ABDUCTION TELEPHONE HOTLINE SERVICE

On the October 12, 1992 NASA initiated its 10 year, US$ 100 million, search for signs of extraterrestrial life. At the same time UFORA launched a media search for additional Australian abductees. Prepared bymyself; edited, printed and distributed by Vladimir Godic, a media release was forwarded to 115 media outlets in both the print and electronic media.

The end result was that the Hotline number received nearly 60 calls, out of which 11 were in fact people reporting previously unknown abduction events. Most of these abduction cases, together with general UFO reports, are listed below. Many of the abduction episodes are now being followed up, and the individuals concerned are being interviewed in-depth by a number of UFORA associates in various states.

UFORA92136 1978/79 Adelalde SA 2300hrs CE4 S4/P4
An Adelaide woman, L. C., woke in the night from what she at first took to be a dream. She felt she was awake in bed. Her bed was situated in middle of the room. There was a flash of light and the whole bedroom scene felt like she was moving/seeing through “treacle” . Time appeared to be moving in slow motion. Three creatures came in to the room moving slowiy towards her. She screamed. The next thing she knew it was moming. Thus there was a period of ZMissing time.” After that she needed to sleep with the light on and her sleep patterns became disrupted. Years later she came across the book “Communion.” She then knew it was the same thing. (UFORA phone-in. Referred to UFORSA)

An Adelaide woman, D.C., an artist, has undergone several experiences, commencing in 1977 which she at first took to be a dream. She was given frightening messages about pianetary changes. The same beings revisited in 1983. She saw the series SThe Intruders~ and thought to herself, “they are telling my story.” She had a NDE as a child, and was ill for the first 10 years of her life, thus having a quite different childhood to many children. She has a series of dreams-lots of scientific information came through. Told husband and a few close friends about the experiences but they unable to cope with them. Experiences themselves OK but an isolating experience trying to tell other human beings about them! She is over sensitive to noise at times. Has lived in 7 houses and there is always trouble with the wiring given as an explanation for electrical problems which occur, like lights switching themselves on/off. (UFORA phone-in)

Got the impression they were going to take eggs from her ovary. She then felt something going into her stomach. Told not to be frightened. Then she was told you are going back and you are not going to feel it was real. Next thing she was in bed conscious.

Later she saw an item on TV in which an abduction was discussed and her blood ran cold. She did feel very concerned at the time for her sanity, but now does not feel anxious about it. The level of reality of the whole episode was as real as real. Not a dream. (UFORA phone-inJ

A number of erratic lights were seen over the mountain some 10-15km away. The lights seemed to be above the mountain (1270m tall). One light was approached from below by another light, and then they seemed to make contact. One light then moved away to the west. This pattern was repeated by a light from the west. However, this time both lights moved away together. (TUFOIC)

Two youths noticed a large, bright light low to the north-west. The size ofthe lightwas estimated at 5m, compared to buildings in the area, and was almost at tree top level. It was changing colours from green to red to blue, then back to green. Whilst they watched, an aircraft passed over the eastem sky. Suddenly, the light shot across the sky passing near the Moon and one person thought he could see a disc shape in the Moonlight. The object disappeared to the north-east in a few seconds. The witness placed the time of the event as up to 10 minutes. Another witness, at a different location, saw the light for 2/3 minutes before it shot off. About 2100hrs many reports were received relating to something burning up overTasmania. Reports came in from both the north and south of the state (apparently also seen over VIC/NSW.) (TUFOIC)

Two people were in a vehicle travelling west on the Lyell highway. The passenger observed an object in the north- westem sky. After a few minutes he pointed it out to the driver. They traveiled on a few more kilometres until the driver stopped the car “for a better look.” He saw a dark, cylindrical shape in the north, about Moon width. lt was steadily travelling to the east. The colour was grey in the bright Moonlight, whilst it seemed to have a flame effect at the rear. The strangest thing was the 4 or more orange lights travelling along at the rear of the cylinder. These lights suddenly started darting about around the cylinder. They kept this up until the object was well away to the north-east. The lights seemed to merge with the cylinder and they just couldn’t see it any more. (TUFOIC)

Whilst on an, Hobart bound, Australian Airlines flight 405, arriving at 1247 hrs, a passenger saw an unusual sight Some 10 minutes out of Hobart at an elevation of 18000ft he noted an intense black shape to the west The aircraft at this stage was over Miena (Great Lake.) It looked to be a long, thin, black shape of large size but at a considerable distance. The shape was visible between some layers of cloud which could be seen to be moving as opposed to the shape which was stationary. The aircraft continued its descent into Hobart and the witness had to look back to the rear to keep the shape in view, it being obscured from view by hills west of the Derwent (est 2/3 mins from airport.) Checks have revealed the air crew saw nothing. The witness says people ahead of him were looking at the black shape. However, a press release with coverage on radio and newspapers failed to uncover additional witnesses. The weather had been fine with some cirrus cloud moving in from the west. The Met Bureau suggested alto-cumulus cloud as an explanation. However, no cloud of this type was reported in their observations that day. (TUFOIC)

Braenne, Ole Jonny. “The Spitsbergen UFO Crash/ Retrleval Incident.” A summary of a38 page investigation report into the 1952 account of a crashed saucer. This story pops up from time to time in periodicals and books. What is the truth? The research concludes it was a hoax. 8pp.

LIIJegren, Anders. “General Doolittle and the Ghost Rockets.” One aspect of the 1946 Swedish ghost rocket Incidents was the visit of high ranking General James Doolittle. Did he go there to look at the rocket data? The answer seems to be a resounding “no”, after thorough research into Swedish official archives. 6pp.

Jenny Randles In “Northern UFO News” number 156, updates the 1973 Peter Day movie film saga. One of the explanations long considered by BUFORA for this film was that the film mightwell show an F-111 jet Now, Steuart Campbell, a UK researcher, has secured a copy of an accident report on the F-111 which crashed that day. Details in the report make it almost certain that the Dayfilm shows fuel from the distressed flame which had been ignited. 2pp.

LATE NOTE

The orange lights mystery over Sydney came to a head on Tuesday the November 17. Hundreds of people reported seeing a formation of lights, which was also captured on a home video.

Police investigations revealed these lights were caused by hot air balloons. As mentioned earlier, this explanation was favoured by Bill Chalker for many of the orange lights. How this relates to the Perth and Adelaide reports of orange lights, is not yet clear.
