Alien Base: The Evidence for Extraterrestrial Colonization of Earth – FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS
‘While we were watching the UFO, suddenly this other glowing thing drops out from underneath it [that] looked like a neon-green smoke ring,’ continued Hammel. ‘It dropped away from the larger UFO down toward the water, and submerged.’
We saw the glowing green circle of water where it went in, and then the glow disappeared. Seconds later, two more green rings dropped out. The second one dropped away and submerged like the first one, but the third one dropped down and then shot straight ahead to disappear toward the coast.
Slim and I finally came to the conclusion that the big one must have been all of 100 feet across, or maybe even more. By comparison, the smaller ones looked like they might have been 20 feet across. I guess the big UFO paced us for about 20 minutes, then all of a sudden the lights around the middle began going out in clusters — not in banks of say, six or eight in a row, but six or eight separate, individual lights at the same time . . . The top and bottom blinking red lights went out too, with only scattered blue lights around the middle still blinking.
As our eyes became accustomed to the dark again, we could faintly see the silhouette of [what looked] like two inverted shallow soup bowls put together.
Then very faintly, just above the mid-lateral line, we could see a soft subdued green glow emanating from what appeared to be trapezoidal-shaped windows . . . wider at the bottom than at the top. Just about the time our eyes got focused on the windows, the thing assumed an overall bluish corona. Then it took off straight ahead . . . leaving nothing in front of us but a blue streak in the sky. It was positively the damnedest thing I’ve ever seen. When we finally came in to Logan, we must have hit the runway half a dozen times . . . ‘After a previous encounter reported to the FAA [Federal Aviation Administration], and upon ensuing company and other authoritative harassment,’ explained Donald Todd, ‘[Hammel] has sworn never to report another UFO encounter. Fortunately, he has confidence in [my] discretion.’
In several interesting respects, the TWA case brings to mind the Atlantic encounter reported by US Navy aircrew in 1951. I must stress that the professional and personal mentality and sense of responsibility that characterizes the behaviour and attitudes of aircraft pilots and other crew members, in particular those transporting passengers, precludes the likelihood of contriving a UFO report for gaining attention, or for entertainment THE ‘CHUPACHUPA’ EPIDEMIC
Since 1946, Brazil has been the source of many alarming reports about alien activity, perhaps owing to its many inaccessible areas where the entities can carry out their agenda with impunity. In 1977, remote areas of the states of Pará and Maranhao were plagued by what the local people called the ‘vampire light’ or luz chupachupa. The Brazilian Air Force sent ‘n teams of investigators from the First Air Zone Command (ICOMAR), and at least one incident attracted an investigation by Brazilian Naval Intelligence.
Bob Pratt, a respected American journalist who has travelled extensively in northeast Brazil researching the chupachupas and who is the author of an important book on disturbing encounters in northeast Brazil,
I learned that UFOs were seen almost every night from April to July 1977 in the area of the town of Pinheiro. The Mayor, Manoel Paiva, told Pratt that he estimated that as many as 50,000 people had witnessed sightings. Typically, a big ball of fire would descend and then hover 300 to 400 metres above the town. Some said it hurt their eyes to look at it, others claimed it made them feel sick. Fishermen and farmers reported being chased or injured by the objects. Invariably, the ‘ball of fire’ seemed attracted by other light of any kind.
