*** Update: 22 hurt after jet hits turbulence

HONOLULU (AP) - A Continental Airlines flight from Tokyo to Honolulu
hit severe turbulence Wednesday, injuring 18 passengers and four
flight attendants. The injuries were mostly bumps and bruises, said
an airline spokeswoman. Thirteen passengers were treated at The
Queen's Medical Center and released. The flight attendants were
treated at another hospital for contusions and strains. Flight 910
landed safely at the Honolulu airport about three hours after hitting
turbulence at 33,000 feet, said Marilyn Kali of the state
Transportation Department. The plane was carrying 330 passengers, 15
flight attendants and three pilots. Most of the injured passengers
were sitting in the back of the plane. See

Voor de nieuwsgierigen onder ons: Mijn site, Picard UFO Research
International, heeft een zeer uitgebreid onderdeel waar in nieuws is
opgenomen. Het nieuws wat daar gevonden kan worden heeft vooral betrekking
op zaken met als intressegebied UFOs, Aliens, Astronomie, Archaeologie,
Historie, NASA, etc. Dit onderdeel wordt meestal ten minste 1 keer per week
bijgewerkt (tot voor kort was dat eens per twee dagen).

PUFORI heeft meer! De site bestaat uit bijna 6000 tekst items verspreid
over onderdelen zoals:

1. Nieuws
2. Artikelen (gerangschikt op rubriek)
3. Volledig Online Boeken (15 stuks, waarvan 10 in de boek index en mede
beschikbaar in MS-Word formaat)
4. Onderzoek (Nog niet zo uitgebreid..., bestaat ook uit NASA's Pathfinder
missie en de grootste collectie Phil Schneider documentatie)
5. Landspecifieke Internet onderdelen (Op het ogenblik is alleen Brazilie
aanwezig... in zoal Portugees als Engels)
6. Mailinglists en binnenkort een IRC Chat onderdeel.

Dit is het meerendeel, maar niet alle informatie die er te vinden is, alles
is geindexeerd met een SWISH-E zoekmethode voor makkelijke toegang.

Nieuwsgierig?  Bezoek de site op http://www.pufori.org/  (Ik raad iedreen
aan om de "frames" site te gebruiken :-) Alle commentaar is welkom.

Hallo,

Ik wilde toch meer weten over dat hele "Crash Site Debris"-verhaal, dus
besloot ik een e-mailtje te sturen naar de aanbieders met een, voor mij,
aantal cruciale vragen. Let op het standaard-mailtje dat ik terug kreeg!
Met geen woord heb ik het er namelijk over interesse te hebben in het
AANSCHAFFEN van een stukje UFO... Ook valt mij op dat er practisch geen
enkel door mij gestelde vraag werd beantwoord...[ Misschien had ik toch
moeten DOEN alsof ik WEL wat had willen kopen...after all, het gaat
allemaal om de $$$...toch?...;-) ]

Israeli Mid-Air UFO Explosion Analyzed - It's The Real Thing
by Barry Chamish
<chamish@...>

1-20-99

Last month I reported that I had acquired a video copy of a
mid-air UFO explosion over the Israeli city of Rosh Haayin. I
wrote that my impression was the video captured a profoundly
important moment: the first mid-air UFO collision ever recorded.
I requested that experts analyze the film scientifically. Within
a day, Dwight Connelly of MUFON committed himself to having the
video analyzed. The video is a compilation of two UFO events
recorded by Spasso Maximovitch in 1995 and 1996. I sent Dwight
both clips and he passed them on to MUFON's video expert Jeff
Sanio for computer analysis. The following is his report. I will
not comment on his conclusions. Jeff has no need of my analysis
of his analysis. Let's just sum matters up like this: It's The
Real Thing. Added to Israel's list of UFO firsts, is the first
mid-air explosion between two unexplained aerial craft ever
captured on videotape or any other media. Several film and TV
producers asked me to release the clip for their programs but I
had to turn them down. I am prevented by a copyright problem
from reproducing the film, though I am permitted to display my
copy. I am seeking a conference to premiere this remarkable
event. In the meantime, I will publish MUFON's full report on
http://members.tripod.com/~ufoisrael.

Videoanalysis
6/24/96
Rosh Haayin, central Israel
Spasso Maximovitch


Events as reported to me from Barry Chamish
(chamish@...): `On 28/9/95, Spasso Maximovitch
noticed an unexplainable object in the skies over Rosh Haayin in
central Israel. He grabbed his video camera and captured a
silvery, glowing object become, two, three and then four fiery
orbs, in a near square formation, over a wide expanse of the
northwestern sky. After this incident, Mr. Maximovitch became a
constant skywatcher. His dilgence was rewarded on 24/6/96 when a
similar silvery orb appeared in the lower western sky. He
trained his video camera on the orb... And then a glowing white
oval-shaped object appeared some 20 degrees west of the object
and streaked toward it at high speed. Within three seconds it
struck the stationary orb, causing a huge explosion in the sky
which must have destroyed both objects. Stunned, Maximovitch
stopped filming immediately after capturing the explosion.`

The submitted video, which was in PAL format, was converted to
NTSC format. It shows several events; a group of lights, one
apparently dropped from another (the dropping is seen in the
stills marked 28/9/1995 and 3:27:33); a stationary light which
is apparently struck by a moving light, and a triangle of
lights. The group of lights is interesting, but I could find no
basis for investigating any form of anomalousness. The triangle
of lights has no reference objects to indicate what or where it
is.

The stationary light was much more interesting. Various lights,
probably streetlights, in the video were used as reference
objects, and showed that the light was stationary over some 30
seconds. An approaching airplane's landing lights will appear
stationary, although motionlessness over this length of time
seems unusual.

A vertical tower structure, apparently made of girders, is near
the light. Some horizontal structure is atop the structure. It
was not sufficiently defined for continuous measurements to be
made from it.

Another bright object appears to the left and slightly below the
stationary object. In 2.9 seconds, it moves toward the
stationary object, apparently hitting and exploding. In 1/4
second, the explosion disappears with no trace of either object.
The 5-frame sequence to the right illustrates the sequence.

The bright object can be seen to move between the girders of the
vertical structure. This is useful in determining the relative
size of the moving light. (The size of the light as seen on the
video, is misleading; it is presumably much smaller than what is
seen, due to extreme overexposure and glare.) The light
disappears or reappears completely 6 times; in 3, the change is
abrupt; completely bright-to-dark or vice versa. In the other 3,
the change is gradual, with a frame showing partial brightness.
What can be learned from this? One must remember that the video
is a sequence of 1/50 second time exposures. Assume the light is
small, and that the moving object has only one light. If by
chance, the disappearance coincides with the period between
exposures, an abrupt disappearance will be seen. A large light,
or several lights horizontally separated, will never disappear
abruptly while moving slowly. Since 6 occurrences form a useful
population of samples, the moving light can reliably be said to
be quite small. This probably eliminates the flame from a
missile as a source.

Although the vertical structure was not a reliable reference
object, the two lights' relative position could be measured.
Over 500 measurements of the two lights' position were made. The
graph at right shows the distance between the 2 lights. Breaks
in the data line are due to unreliable data from camera motion
or the moving light going behind the girders. Reference straight
lines show constant speed. The slopes of the lines show that the
moving light spent about a second at some speed, then sped up
about 16% before the collision. The 16% is not due to a zoom
change; the tower is sufficiently visible to verify that its
size does not appreciably change. Although the graph shows noise
and missing data, the acceleration certainly occurred in under a
second. No reasonable object I know of is capable of a 16%
acceleration in a second.

When the 2 objects apparently collide and explode, the apparent
size of the light expands by a factor of roughly 2.5; this does
not appear to be due to overexposure, but is the real size of
the object. The last 2 frames of the video are NOT overexposed,
but diffuse; since overexposure is not involved, this indicates
the actual size of the explosion is shown. The real increase in
size of the bright area is certainly much larger than 2.5. In
the video the explosion moves downward; this is probably due to
camera motion of the startled videographer; the reference tower
is too smeared to verify this conclusion.

The explosion is not due to any conventional method I am
familiar with; conventional, large explosions require much more
than 1/4 second to disappear, and usually generate flaming
debris that falls from the explosion. Neither characteristic is
seen here.

The acceleration, light size, and explosion are not explainable
in any convention way that I know of, and this case remains
unidentified.

Subject: UFO Report accompanies explosive noise
Date: December 15, 1998 - 7:53 p.m.
Location: Portage, Indiana (Porter County)

On December 15, 1998, a 19-year old resident of Portage, Indiana
informed of his sighting of a UFO. The e-mail report states:

"I deliver pizzas for a local pizza shop. At 7:53 p.m. on Monday,
14th of December, I saw something that amazed me. I was driving north
on Swanson Rd. approaching Stone Ave., where I could only turn left or
right. As I was coming to a stop at Stone, I heard a semi-loud bang.
It sounded like a big firecracker, but the tone was deeper. Then, I
heard something that sounded like a brief, strong wind and it repeated
seven or eight times. I remained still at the stop sign while
listening to the sounds. A couple seconds later, a white light rose
off the ground to the northeast of me. It looked like it was about a
mile away. It went straight up about one hundred yards or so, stayed
for a few seconds, then shot west so fast, it looked like it could
have gone a hundred miles in a fraction of a second. As soon as it had
happened I wrote down on my notepad what happened, where I was, and
what time it was. After I did that, I looked around for other cars at
the stop sign so I could ask them if they saw what I saw, but there
was no one around. So I delivered the pizza and went back to work.
When I got home, I told my girlfriend what I saw, and she told me that
earlier in the night, while visiting her parents at their house on
Central and Willowdale, she heard a loud bang. But, I have not talked
to anyone else who saw it yet. This is the absolute truth of what I
saw. I did some searching on the Internet for somewhere to report
what I saw and I found this sight. I hope you appreciate my effort.
Thank you."

Comment:

A reply was sent, asking if the witness would be interested in
following up his report by contacting local police offices to
determine if other residents in the area had reported the loud noise.
Although not expressing interest in pursuing this angle, he stated
that his mother was a private pilot, and would have her check with
'local airports' to see if any additional details could be found.

The Portage, Indiana report from December is similar to separate,
unrelated accounts earlier in the year from nearby Valparaiso, Kokomo
and Michigantown, Indiana. These reports were generated in June and
August. Portage is only 10-miles northwest of Valparaiso, Indiana, and
3-miles south of Lake Michigan.

The sonic anomaly reported with this UFO sighting remains a common
element in many unusual reports. Weeks after this sighting was
received, numerous instances of sonic disruption was reported across a
large area of the Midwestern United States on January 9th and 10th.
Explosive bangs and thuds were heard from areas in Indiana, Ohio,
Kentucky and Pennsylvania. Although 'Ice Quakes' and 'Frost Cracking'
were advanced as an explanation for the disruptions, a University of
Cincinnati geologist refuted the explanation. For details of this
report, see: http://home.fuse.net/ufo/Butlerboomer.htm

VOICES OF OUR TIME: JILL TARTER

Imagining others in our galaxy

"From your perspective, what have been some of the
most important developments of this century, and how
will the world be different 100 years from now?"

At the SETI Institute, we are currently conducting
workshops whose formal purpose is to think about the
future. We look at our own possible futures, and by
analogy, the possible "presents" of advanced
technological civilizations (if they exist) elsewhere
in our Milky Way Galaxy.

We are trying very hard to imagine the unimaginable.
Our understanding of physics, and the physical
universe in which we find ourselves, is far from
complete.

At the beginning of this century, the cosmology of
the day put humans right in the center of the known
universe. Then came quantum mechanics, and also the
observational proof that, far from being central, we
occupy a small corner of a universe whose vastness
strains our imaginations; a universe that may be but
one among countless others.

We have yet to develop a quantum theory that unifies
gravity with the other fundamental forces of nature,
but we know this is needed in order to explain the
universe we observe, and to predict its future.

We wonder whether life, indeed life intelligent
enough to contemplate its own place in the universe,
is ubiquitous, and we wonder how we might find out.

As we project our own technologies forward into the
future to guess the ways that advanced technological
civilizations might manifest themselves (the better
to design experiments capable of detecting them), we
are almost certainly being too conservative. Arthur
Clarke reminds us that significantly advanced
technologies will be indistinguishable from magic!

It is not hard to predict that if other advanced
technological civilizations do exist in the Milky
Way, and if the coming century permits their
discovery, they will surprise us.

Jill Tarter, an astrophysicist, is director of
Project Phoenix at the Search for Extraterrestrial
Intelligence (SETI) Institute in Mountain View. She
lives in Berkeley.

Inderdaad Jeroen,

Zoals je weet hebben we contact opgenomen met die jongen, maar helaas
hebben we tot op heden nog niets vernomen...tijd zal het leren.
Hee, maar even iets anders..ik kan me herinneren dat een jaar of twee(?)
geleden ook zo'n soort melding op de TV was...een of ander nederlands
nieuws... ik geloof zelfs dat het in twente was! Verder heb ik vanuit
Limburg 1994 een soortgelijke melding!
Zoek hem wel op en FWD hem dan ff!

Subject: [Atlantic] Flames at 36N41W?

Hello

  Ive been listening to 6628 for the last 2 hours (it is now
0300UTC) and New York ATC is requesting flights that overfly 36N41W if
they see any kind of flames or light. All of these because one
flight at around 0030 UTC (I was not listening at that time) reported
a strange light closed to that location.
  At 0215UTC a CKT flight was requested to confirm it and the answer
was something like this "There is indeed a stange light at or above sea
level but I cannot see more because of clouds".
  At 0250 UTC a Virgin flight reported "There are no flames at
4134N3628W".
  All these flights were requested to monitor 121.5 but no activity
on that freq was reported.
  This position is 60 NM west of New York/Santa Maria boundary, in
NY area.
  Any suggestions for what it might be?

Best regards, Andre Brandao

ISRAELI MID-AIR UFO EXPLOSION ANALYZED- IT'S THE REAL THING
by Barry Chamish

    Last month I reported that I had acquired a video copy of a mid-air UFO
explosion over the Israeli city of Rosh Haayin. I wrote that my impression
was the video captured a profoundly important moment: the first mid-air UFO
collision ever recorded. I requested that experts analyze the film
scientifically.
    Within a day, Dwight Connelly of MUFON committed himself to having the
video analyzed. The video is a compilation of two UFO events recorded by
Spasso Maximovitch in 1995 and 1996. I sent Dwight both clips and he passed
them on to MUFON's video expert Jeff Sanio for computer analysis. The
following is his report.
    I will not comment on his conclusions. Jeff has no need of my analysis of
his analysis. Let's just sum matters up like this: It's The Real Thing.
Added to Israel's list of UFO firsts, is the first mid-air explosion between
two unexplained aerial craft ever captured on videotape or any other media.
    Several film and TV producers asked me to release the clip for their
programs but I had to turn them down. I am prevented by a copyright problem
from reproducing the film, though I am permitted to display my copy. I am
seeking a conference to premiere this remarkable event. In the meantime, I
will publish MUFON's full report on
http://members.tripod.com/~ufoisrael.

Videoanalysis
6/24/96
Rosh Haayin, central Israel
Spasso Maximovitch


Events as reported to me from Barry Chamish (chamish@...):
`On 28/9/95, Spasso Maximovitch noticed an unexplainable object in the
skies over Rosh Haayin in central Israel. He grabbed his video camera
and captured a silvery, glowing object become, two, three and then four
fiery orbs, in a near square formation, over a wide expanse of the
northwestern sky. After this incident, Mr. Maximovitch became a constant
skywatcher. His dilgence was rewarded on 24/6/96 when a similar silvery
orb appeared in the lower western sky. He trained his video camera on
the orb...    And then a glowing white oval-shaped object appeared some
20 degrees west of the object and streaked toward it at high speed.
Within three seconds it struck the stationary orb, causing a huge
explosion in the sky which must have destroyed both objects. Stunned,
Maximovitch stopped filming immediately after capturing the explosion.`

The submitted video, which was in PAL format, was converted to NTSC
format.  It shows several events; a group of lights, one apparently
dropped from another (the dropping is seen in the stills marked
28/9/1995 and 3:27:33); a stationary light which is apparently struck by
a moving light, and a triangle of lights.  The group of lights is
interesting, but I could find no basis for investigating any form of
anomalousness.  The triangle of lights has no reference objects to
indicate what or where it is.

The stationary light was much more interesting.  Various lights,
probably streetlights, in the video were used as reference objects, and
showed that the light was stationary over some 30 seconds.  An
approaching airplane's landing lights will appear stationary, although
motionlessness over this length of time seems unusual.

A vertical tower structure, apparently made of girders, is near the
light.  Some horizontal structure is atop the structure.  It was not
sufficiently defined for continuous measurements to be made from it.

Another bright object appears to the left and slightly below the
stationary object.  In 2.9 seconds, it moves toward the stationary
object, apparently hitting and exploding.  In 1/4 second, the explosion
disappears with no trace of either object.  The 5-frame sequence to the
right illustrates the sequence.

The bright object can be seen to move between the girders of the
vertical structure.  This is useful in determining the relative size of
the moving light.  (The size of the light as seen on the video, is
misleading; it is presumably much smaller than what is seen, due to
extreme overexposure and glare.)  The light disappears or reappears
completely 6 times; in 3, the change is abrupt; completely
bright-to-dark or vice versa.  In the other 3, the change is gradual,
with a frame showing partial brightness.  What can be learned from
this?  One must remember that the video is a sequence of 1/50 second
time exposures.  Assume the light is small, and that the moving object
has only one light. If by chance, the disappearance coincides with the
period between exposures, an abrupt disappearance will be seen.  A large
light, or several lights horizontally separated, will never disappear
abruptly while moving slowly.  Since 6 occurrences form a useful
population of samples, the moving light can reliably be said to be quite
small.  This probably eliminates the flame from a missile as a source.

Although the vertical structure was not a reliable reference object, the
two lights' relative position could be measured.  Over 500 measurements
of the two lights' position were made.  The graph at right shows the
distance between the 2 lights.  Breaks in the data line are due to
unreliable data from camera motion or the moving light going behind the
girders.  Reference straight lines show constant speed.  The slopes of
the lines show that the moving light spent about a second at some speed,
then sped up about 16% before the collision.   The 16% is not due to a
zoom change; the tower is sufficiently visible to verify that its size
does not appreciably change.  Although the graph shows noise and missing
data, the acceleration certainly occurred in under a second.  No
reasonable object I know of is capable of a 16% acceleration in a
second.

When the 2 objects apparently collide and explode, the apparent size of
the light expands by a factor of roughly 2.5; this does not appear to be
due to overexposure, but is the real size of the object.  The last 2
frames of the video are NOT overexposed, but diffuse; since overexposure
is not involved, this indicates the actual size of the explosion is
shown.  The real increase in size of the bright area is certainly much
larger than 2.5.  In the video the explosion moves downward; this is
probably due to camera motion of the startled videographer; the
reference tower is too smeared to verify this conclusion.

The explosion is not due to any conventional method I am familiar with;
conventional, large explosions require much more than 1/4 second to
disappear, and usually generate flaming debris that falls from the
explosion.  Neither characteristic is seen here.

The acceleration, light size, and explosion are not explainable in any
convention way that I know of, and this case remains unidentified.

Aapmens van 3,6 miljoen jaar oud

Antropologen in Zuid-Afrika hebben een 3,6 miljoen jaar oud volledig skelet
van een aapmens gevonden. Tot nu toe gold 'Lucy', die in 1974 in Ethiopië
werd ontdekt, als het meest complete exemplaar van de vermoedelijk rechtop
lopende oermens van de soort Australopethicus.
De aapmens, die is gevonden in Sterkfontein bij Johannesburg, liep
vermoedelijk ook al rechtop, was 120 centimeter groot en leefde in beboste
gebieden.

Sumerisch spijkerschrift niet het oudst

In het zuiden van Egypte is een schrift ontdekt dat mogelijk ouder is dan
het Sumerische spijkerschrift. Het schrift van de Sumeriërs, die deel
uitmaakten van de Mesopotamische beschaving, dateert van ongeveer 3000 voor
Christus.
Het nu, door de Duitse archeoloog Günter Dreyer, ontdekte schrift wordt
geschat op een ouderdom van 5300 jaar. Het grootste deel van de ontdekking
werd gedaan in het graf van koning Schorpioen in de provincie Suhag, 500
kilometer ten zuiden van Caïro.

GLASTONBURY SYMPOSIUM 'SIGNS OF OUR TIMES'

30, 31 July and 1 August 1999 in the Assembley Rooms, Glastonbury, U.K.

Ter Kennisgeving
Een UFOmelding uit Nijmegen
(Lijkt overigens veel op een verschijning dat ik heb gezien in 1992)

email verstuurd op zondag 17 januari 99,



Geachte UFO Meldpunt,

...............................................
...............................................
Vroeger stond ik vaak een beetje sceptisch tegenover ufo's
Maar een paar dagen geleden is dit veranderd.
................................................
Ik stond een paar dagen geleden om een uur of zeven op de bus te wachten.
Het was vrij koud,dus ik zat een beetje te springen
Ik keek omhoog en zag een lichtpuntje vrij rap naar links bewegen.
Ik dacht eerst dat het vliegtuig was. Maar het object maakte bochten van 90
graden en dat kan een vliegtuig niet. Een meteoor kon het ook niet zijn
want die gaan niet van links naar rechts.
Plots kwamen er nog twee lichtpunten. Ik werd toch een beetje bang.
Toen draaiden ze met z'n drieen om elkaar heen. Ik wreef in
mijn ogen, ik dacht dat ik gek werd. Maar opeens waren ze weg
Echt WAAR!! Dit kan geen vliegtuig of helicopter of meteoor zijn geweest.
...................................
...................................


Melding wordt nog nagetrokken en er wordt geprobeerd een exactere
tijdsaanduiding te achterhalen:
Dus nog in onderzoek.

YEAH! RIGHT! LET'S GET STARTED!
haha, ben d'r helemaal klaarvoor!

met groet,
Mischa.
