In this series, I share a lot of new information regarding the alien and UFO phenomenon, which is not included in the original article. As such, I encourage my long-time readers to take the time to study it. To acquire a balanced understanding of my views concerning the alien and UFO phenomenon, I likewise encourage you to also read "Alien Life, Extrasolar Planets and Universal Atonement", "Keeping Things in Proper Perspective: ET, Where Are You?"and other articles which are listed at the end of this series. The original 1997 version of this article was the result of a two-year study I conducted regarding New Age thought and UFOlogy. The vast majority of the material which I read and archived, was obtained from the Internet, and there was, and still is, plenty of it. If one takes the time, he will find all kinds of interesting topics to explore, including MJ-12, Bill Cooper and the famous Krill Papers, the Space Brothers, the strange goings-on at Area 51 S-4, Pleiadian channeling, the photon belt and moving into a higher dimension, secret underground alien bases such as "Dulce", Remote Viewing, the Philadelphia Experiment, the Roswell UFO crash, the quatrains of Nostradamus, the Hollow Earth theory, Zacharia Sitchin and the Twelfth Planet, alien abductions and alien-human hybrids, and a lot more.

  • Sunny Young Is New Chief Investigator
    May 2007 Sunny Young is new Chief Investigator O R K Words From the State Director I’d like to begin by announcing a passing of the torch in our Michigan MUFON Chief Investigatorship. Lisa Shiel needs to attend to personal obliga- tions at this time and unfortunately is no longer available to be our Chief Investigator or State Section Director of the Upper Peninsula. As all will readily agree, Lisa has done an out- standing job helping our team integrate CMS into our investigative efforts, bringing our hunt for UFOs into the 21st Century, and she's deeply enjoyed her roles with MUFON and MIMUFON. Thank you, Lisa! Please welcome Sunny Young as our new Chief Investigator, effectively immediately. Sunny’s energy, experience, and dedication are all well-known to everyone so we are certainly blessed to have her in this role. As with Lisa, Sunny lives fairly far up north – Mackinaw City – so, she won’t be able to attend most of our meetings. However, Sunny will still run the MUFON Case Management System and I’ll continue to do the Field Investigator training sessions. We are trying something new and exciting for our May meeting. Per Becky Konkolesky’s suggestion from the March survey, we are having two separate presenters join us via webcam (meaning they will appear live on camera via the internet and be able to see us and answer questions from us via a webcam on our side).
