I just read up on it and it sounded hoaxy to me. I decided to search some more info and found this. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_McPherson_TapeThe McPherson Tape is a docudrama originally directed by Dean Alioto, and later re-made with a larger budget into Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County. Both videos claim to be the final recordings and last known whereabouts of a family just before they are abducted by aliens. However, it was later revealed that actors had been paid and that the film was a complete fabrication. The whole movie was a hoax, claimed James Stein of New County, who helped in creating the hoax video. Dean Alioto has since contributed an explanation for the two recordings ------------------ Additonally, it being aired on UPN lent negative credibility in of itself to me even before I read the Wiki.

I watched the episode last night. It kinda went off on tangent there for a while and then returned to the 'meat and potatoes' of Sgt. Penniston.
Hmm, perhaps he didn't disclose this information for so long as he was worried the message was of a terrible nature? He didn't want to be responsible for bringing a possibly dark message to people? A stick your head in the sand approach?
But as he expressed he has been haunted with dreams for all these years, maybe his conscience and curiosity could stand it no more and so he came forward.
None of us can possibly imagine the experience he had. Maybe he needed enough time for himself to properly deal with this. He's not the only person who has hung to something of potential value (UFO related or otherwise) for a long time before exposing. I know, I know, I'm rationalizing.
Maybe he wanted to wait for the subject to cool down before feeling it safe to disclose. There may been personal security issues, but now with cable TV and the internet making so many things so available to so many, the subject has cropped up again and is quite popular.
With this, he may have felt it safe to finally come forward. After all, if he now has a heart attack, or drowns, or is suicided, et al., the UFO community would then have strong suspicions and point its finger at the usual suspect, investigations could ensue, etc.
Or, as Meldrew opines, he may have done it for the money but felt he had to wait for some reason.

hey coco hows tricks, as you can see weve been busy, whats your take on this Cheers Meldrew! I haven't seen the episode yet but when you mentioned it (across the street), I read up a bit about it and the article stated the Sgt. was given, with permission, truth serum and placed under hypnosis but was never really given details of the session. Some years later he sought a hypnotist and afterwards made aware of what he recalled during the session. This story keeps expanding beyond the mainstream story given to the public. I'll have to watch the program and hear and see the people, and the details they give to get a feel of the new information.

I would have liked to have known the area of Florida, just for reference if nothing else. Florida has its share of Air Force and Naval bases (not unusual for a US state), at least two bombing ranges that I know of, and the SE area of the state is very close to one the Bermuda Triangle points. EDIT: I forgot about the space coast, lol. Something that may or may not have any relevance: Florida's atmosphere is quite static electric, the state experiences lightning on a very regular basis. The air is generally warm and humid most of the year. And if you subscribe to the Earth grid system theory, there is a conjoining on the lower east coast of the state.

Why do we appear when we're kids? (6 years o7) and I've read dozens of stories to report the first sighting and most are similar;) what they think of it. have a nice day Because when we are children out minds are still open and we choose to gaze upwards at the heavens, we don't lose patience staring into space as we do when adults.

I'm afraid I have no experiences to share - yet. I have looked at the night skies off and on for years, but have only spotted satellites. It seems that is my talent.
But I have had an interest in UFO's since childhood when my attention was caught by documentaries.
I suppose I had an experience of sorts as a teenager that I cannot explain but don't know how ET it is. A few times the brightest light would flood my bedroom sometimes for a few minutes, sometimes for a few seconds. The light was so intense it lit my bedroom despite the closed curtains.
Wondering if someone was shining a powerfully bright light I would look out the windows after the light stopped, but never saw anything, anyone, any vehicles. There was never a sound.
After a bit of thought, I realized that a powerful light (Man made and Man used) would only shine in one window at a time, but this light came in all windows in three walls simultaneously. To coordinate powerful lights shining in three windows on three walls simultaneously would take expert effort from humans.
Again, I'm not saying this was ET in source, but I still don't know what happened. Perhaps an excellently coordinated prank? I really don't know.

It is pleasing that science is 'comfirming', so to speak, what some ancient philosophers spoke of in reference to grasping time. They stated it is not linear but actually circular.
That can be a deceiving concept as we started with sticks and stones and are now using modern tools such as the computer and lasers, but only the technology has changed or rather upgraded. The human story today is as it was described in the Bible, Shakespearean writings and with neighbors and friends today.
Excellent piece Manxboz. Enlightening.

Apologies for being confusing, Meldrew. Yes I meant a follow up from MUFON about this very intriguing case.

In reference to negligence: I read a news article back in the 90's (don't recall exactly when) that the Air Force's books could not be audited because they were so terribly disordered. They were required to straighten their books so an audit could take place. Never heard of any follow up reports.
From that I speculate that lost nukes could be the result of poor record keeping. Could be.

I'm a Freidman and Kaku fan, although I am disappointed with the UFO Kaku 'designed' - it had rudders - and I give more credit to the ET's ability to navigate Earth skies than merely following certain 'lines' on a grid as he speculated in a program. Meldrew, your wife should be worry until you start making mashed potato mountains.

Thanks for the official, black and white confirmation. I'll have to send it to someone who is genuinely worried about the 'kidnapped villagers' and the future of the rest of humanity.

The nineteenth century photo is interesting. I can't determine if the background is clouds or a snowy mountain. The object would have had to been stationary for a period for proper exposure to take place to capture the image so I assume such was the case. Just found this: Evidently there is a discrepancy as to where, but not when, it was captured on 'film'. www.ufo-photos.com/59

Thanks Gaag, do you know what the symbol means? I haven't seen the film in a while but IIRC, they weren't really clear about the meaning.

Such as I thought it was a hoax just as the last big Chinese UFO event. It took many weeks for the West to learn of the Chinese Muslims and Christians clashing violently yet we hear of the UFO events PDQ?
First: Somebody in rural China owns a video camera? And just so happens to have it handy when aliens come to kidnap a village?
Second: China's been caught before fibbing.
Third: Information doesn't flow so freely and quickly out of China.
China and Russia in particular are two countries that must work hard to earn my trust as they have been caught too many times hoaxing a variety of things.

He's right, it is a circus like atmosphere attracting the more fringe minded at times. And the measure of speculation, embellishment and outright disinformation and rumors does nothing to promote UFO ology as a respectable and reliable institution.

The first UFO was probably trailing along I-4, an east-west corridor in Central Florida. Odd, storms crossing the state sometimes follow that path exactly. There has been a great deal of expansion in Central Florida these past twenty years.
And in Brandon as well, that sighting is pretty exciting as well. Brandon has experienced tremendous growth by leaps and bounds.
Perhaps the ET's are curious about all the new growth?

There are those who argue that the unique shapes represent truly ancient Egyptian ideas that we modern people are misinterpreting. I will be very interested in Manxboz's friend's thoughts. I once heard on a doco that there were original images sculpted and then later sculpted over accidentally creating the illusion of a boat, helicopter, airplane, etc. I believe that they are original glyphs and havnt been retouched or misinterpreted.There's a lot about Ancient Egypt we arnt being told such as the Real age of the Pyramids etc. Only a handfull of people are aloud to go and study the Temples and Pyramids etc. Theres a military area over in Egypt cant remember where but it hosts loads of Ancient Ruins which even the best Egyptologists arnt aloud to see. Truth be told I agree with the bolded in particular. Why the secrecy? Why can't scientists explore and examine certain things? If, for some reason, Man was visited by other wordly entities, or even if it us who visited the past, then what's the big deal? Bah! I get so frustrated with the secrecy.

www.aolnews.com/weird-news/article/did-churchill-hide-a-ufo-report/19581911Did Winston Churchill Hide a UFO Report? LONDON (Aug. 5) -- The British people had no shortage of foreign foes in the early 1940s. So it's perhaps understandable that wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill may have decided not to trouble the nation with news that -- as well as battling German Nazis, Italian fascists and Japanese militarists -- they might also have to take on another alien menace: little green men. According to allegations contained in a trove of newly published secret government documents, Churchill became concerned over the morale-sapping influence of extraterrestrial invaders in the latter years of World War II, when he was told of an alleged close encounter between a Royal Air Force (RAF) plane and a metallic UFO over the east coast of England. He reportedly ordered the sighting to be kept secret for 50 years, declaring: "This event should be immediately classified since it would create mass panic amongst the general population and destroy one's belief in the church." That, at least, is the allegation put to the U.K.'s Ministry of Defense by the family of a senior British military aide who claimed to have been present at a meeting in which Churchill and U.S. Gen. Dwight Eisenhower reportedly discussed "foo fighter" sightings by Allied aircrews. This bizarre wartime incident can be found alongside hundreds of other reports of unexplained celestial phenomena -- from a supposed UFO crash in the Welsh mountains in 1974 to a fast-moving "rocket" buzzing a Boeing 737 at Manchester Airport in 1995 -- released today by the London-based British National Archive. The documents are part of a collection of 11,000 UFO files accumulated by the Defense Ministry since the end of World War II, which are released in batches. The latest set can be downloaded free from the archive's site within the next month. This will happen just before the European Union may reveal to the rest of the world whether or not it has top-secret UFO files. AOL News recently reported how Mario Borghezio, leader of the ultraconservative Italian Northern League party, has urged the 27 member EU governments to publicly release any UFO information. But with the British files, don't expect great revelations of alien experiments or shocking details of interplanetary conspiracies. Most follow a boringly predictable pattern: a concerned member of the public writes to the ministry to report a spacecraft sighting (often providing a hand-drawn starship sketch), only for defense staff to respond that they'd simply seen a weather balloon or odd-shaped cloud. The Churchill file, though, stands out amid this mass of crackpot-penned letters. It opens in 1999, when the military aide's grandson contacted the ministry, asking if it had any information on the alleged wartime episode. The grandson -- whose name has been redacted, but who describes himself as an astrophysicist -- says his grandfather told him he had been present at a meeting between Churchill and Eisenhower that focused on an RAF crew's reported sighting of a mysterious flying "metallic" object as they returned from a reconnaissance mission over mainland Europe. This vessel "appeared to hover noiselessly relative to the aircraft for a time" and then "very suddenly disappeared, leaving no trace of its earlier presence." "This event was discussed by Mr. Churchill and Gen. Eisenhower, neither of whom knew what had been observed," the grandson added. "There was a general inability for either side to match a plausible account to these observations. ... Another person [at the meeting] raised the possibility of an unidentified flying object, at which point Mr. Churchill declared the incident should be immediately classified for at least 50 years and its status reviewed by a future prime minister." An official wrote back saying the ministry knew of "no closed records dating from World War II on this subject." However, the ministry did note that Churchill himself was so intrigued by the flurry of post-war UFO sightings in the U.K. and U.S. that he wrote to the Air Ministry in July 1952 and asked: "What does all this stuff about flying saucers amount to? What can it mean? What is the truth?" Sadly for alien watchers everywhere, the files don't reveal if the cigar-chomping leader ever got an answer. The truth, it seems, is still out there.
