Scott Jones Austin Lecture

by SMiles Lewis

In November the Austin community was treated to an intimate lecture by the enigmatic paranormal, ufo, mind/science personage, C. B. “Scott” Jones. Scott Jones led the audience through a non-linear journey encompassing several of the anomalous highlights of his life.
This lifetime of mysterious experiences included a possible multiple child alien-abduction-like encounter with a cartoon Felix the Cat come-to-life off a film projector screen and an early age brush with death as a baby that was later revealed to Scott by two independent psychics to have been his earliest possible contact with Alien Others. This early age contact was seemingly confirmed when Scott Jones underwent regressive hypnosis sessions with UFO researchers Dr. Leo Sprinkle and Dr. Richard Haines which led to “memories” of  being healed by an Alien Other and an Out of Body Experience, recall of which ends with him as a baby, floating out in space above the earth and about to enter a UFO.
Scott continued recounting his extraordinary life-experiences, including his work investigating the paranormal for Senator Claiborne Pell and seeking UFO disclosure for Laurence Rockefeller. He detailed his psychic intuitive hunt for missile sites during his service as Attaché in India. He spoke of his work tasking psychic Remote Viewers for military, intelligence and political clients in Washington and even gave details of his strange encounter with the FBI in which his friend Michael Drosnin (author of The Bible Code) was seemingly targeted with what they both believe to be some sort of electronic mind-control device which temporarily incapacitated Mr. Drosnin. It was likely this encounter and their other research that led to this alleged statement addressing Dr. John Gibbons (science advisor of President Bill Clinton) regarding the Rockefeller UFO Initiative:

“…I urge you to take another look in the ‘UFO Matrix of Belief’ that I provided you last year. My mention of mind-control technology at the February 4 meeting was quite deliberate. Please be careful about this. There are reasons to believe that some government group has interwoven research about this technology with alleged UFO phenomena. If that is correct, you can expect to run into early resistance when inquiring about UFOs, not because of the UFO subject, but because that has been used to cloak research and applications of mind-control activity.”

- Dr. C.B. Scott Jones

After the official lecture Scott and many audience members migrated to the BookPeople store a few blocks away and continued the discussions about UFOs and much much more.
We look forward to hearing more from C. B. Scott Jones in the coming years.

UFO researchers confront rash of new evidence regarding ‘observed technology’ By Skylaire Alfvegren

“UFOS have been popping up en masse over Texas and Brazil recently, grounding planes in Chicago, menacing Indiana Jones and the Energizer Bunny, and planting themselves firmly in the minds of the American public.

The spaceships arrived in San Jose this past weekend, as the floating annual symposium of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) was held this year at the Doubletree Inn. Co-organized by local businessman Les Valez (founder of the Organization for Paranormal Understanding and Support) MUFON ‘08 attracted nearly 600 registrants with presentations like “Britain’s X-Files,” “Resolving Current Reporting Bias of Pilots” and “Chilean Army Investigates UFOs.”

Alejandro Rojas, MUFON’s press agent, quoted from the ad campaign for the new X-Files movie, responding to the common perception that UFO researchers have hyperactive imaginations.

“We don’t want to believe,” he said. “The evidence led us to believe.””

Black Vault Announces Online MUFON Archives Partnership

http://www.anomalyarchives.org/images/enews/mufonjrnl.jpgThe MUFON Archive is a joint effort between the MUTUAL UFO Network (MUFON) and The Black Vault. In March of 2008, the two parties agreed to enter a powerful relationship on the internet, and offer unprecedented access to MUFON’s archives. This includes four decades worth of MUFON Journals, from the year 1967 to the end of 2007, along with other research papers, documents and investigation case files.

This archive offers an important look into the past, present and future of UFO research. Many of these documents and publications are found nowhere else online, anywhere in the world.

By John F. Schuessler, Former International Director [2000 - 2006]

When Dr. Haines saw an opportunity for cooperation between Russian and U.S. ufologists and formed the Joint USA-CIS Aerial Anomaly Federation, MUFON pledged support this new venture. A major meeting of the participants, including representatives from Russia and the Ukraine, was held in conjunction with the 1994 MUFON UFO Symposium in Austin, Texas.

In 1994, Robert Bigelow suggested working with a coalition of U.S. UFO organizations comprised of MUFON, the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) and the Fund for UFO Research (FUFOR). By 1995, the groups involved had formed the UFO Research Coalition (URC), and they have continued working together on a number of very successful projects including the Ambient Monitoring Project aimed at measuring environmental changes during on-going abduction experiences.

screaming whistle with bright light hit windshield with a shocking vibrating noise and disappeared.

Sitting at a stop light I heard a loud whistle, like something I’ve heard in a fireworks display, at the same time a round light hit my windshield and fluttered really loud like a shock sound. I thought my convertible top was fried, so I pulled over to the nearest parking lot. My top was untouched and my windshield was clean.

UFO Stalls Car Near Sargent Texas

UFO STALLS CAR NEAR SARGENT, TEXAS

On Tuesday, July 5, 2005, at 8:50 p.m., eyewitness M.R. reported, “I was coming home from a fishing trip in Sargent, Texas. I had just turned off FM587 on to FM2611 when, all of a sudden, the lights in my car blinked twice, and then the car went dead.”

“I coasted to a stop at the top of a small hill that was a curve. I was frightened. For one, I am female and was traveling alone, and I was in the middle of nowhere. I thought that the reason for the power giving out in my car was because my brother had been using my car battery earlier in the day and may not have tightened the battery cables properly.”

“I didn’t have a flashlight (torch in UK–J.T.) on me and I grabbed my cell phone to let someone know what had happened. Then I decided to get out of the car, knowing that my cell phone had a bright light on it, and I was going to check the battery cables.”

“Before I could open my cell phone to turn it on, a bright bluish glow started to light up a wooded area across the highway from me. At first I thought it was another vehicle coming up behind me, and I panicked for a moment because my car had stopped on top of the hill on a curve, and, if the vehicle was coming up the curve too fast, it would hit me.”

“But I realized quickly that it was not another vehicle. I couldn’t quite identify the light, but the woods got suddenly brighter. The light went bright like a blue-white light bulb. It was more like the light from a giant blue flashlight or helicopter (search) light.”

“I watched it slowly start moving upward through the trees. I sat in complete silence while I watched it move up out of the trees until it was above the trees and clearly in the sky with the stars for a background. It was a huge bluish translucent ball of light, with the center of the ball much darker than the outer edges.”

“The outer edges of the ball seemed to vibrate or tremble slightly. It continuously rose up into the sky, at first slowly, but, the higher it got, the faster it went. Which was straight up into the sky until it disappeared.”

“I sat in the silent darkness for a few seconds and then turned my car keys, which I had never taken out of the ignition switch, and the car started right up.”

The UFO “was about 30 to 40 feet (9 to 12 meters) up. It was huge, maybe 30 to 40 feet (9 to 12 meters) across, but I could be mistaken. It was much larger than my car– a Volvo DL wagon. I resumed my drive to Sweeny, Texas.”

Sargent is in Matagorda County, on Texas’s Gulf of Mexico shore about 40 miles (64 kilometers) southwest of Galveston. (Email Form Report)
