Former Arizona Governor's Close Encounter With UFO
Fife Symington Revises His Description of Phoenix Lights Sighting in 1997
March 30, 2007 — - For six years, Fife Symington was governor of Arizona, a state in America on Earth.
He now says that while he was governor, he had a brush with something not from America or from this planet.
"It was absolutely breathtaking," Symington said. "I mean when I saw it, I said this is definitely a UFO. I have never seen anything like this in my life."
It was an event that is now the stuff of legend, called the Phoenix Lights. There was video taken in 1997 of those mysterious lights flying in formation in the Arizona night sky, and was witnessed by thousands.
"It was moving real slow, and I went in and jokingly said to my wife, 'We have a UFO coming over,'" Bob Nelson, a Phoenix eyewitness, said.
Another witness Thomas Chavez said what he saw that night was "definitely not an aircraft -- an aircraft as we know it."
Symington recently described his sighting of the Phoenix Lights as "a geometric form with extremely bright lights on the leading edge."
'Definitely UFOs'
That's a different story than Symington gave when he was governor, when he held a fake news conference to present the source of the glowing lights: his chief of staff in a Martian costume.
"This goes to show that you guys are entirely too serious," Symington laughed at the news conference.
Symington now says that he was just trying to keep everyone calm.
"What I was trying to do was have fun and make a spoof, and stop all the public hysteria that was going on at the time," he said.
There have been reports of other strange sightings in the sky recently, some that are explainable, some that are not.
In Washington in the fall, a fireball lit up the sky. The government said it was the sun reflecting off a plane. In January, mysterious streaks in the Midwest turned out to be a falling Russian rocket.
Skeptics say even the famed Phoenix Lights can be explained away as a formation of military planes.
"There is simply no evidence that a spacecraft from another world has ever visited the Earth, none," said James McGaha, an astronomer and retired U.S. Air Force pilot.
But Symington believes otherwise.
"There is always that 5 percent of sightings, which are inexplicable, which leads me to believe there are definitely UFOs, and I am totally open to the idea that whoever they are occasionally pass this way," he said.
Many people agree with Symington.
Just this week, France became the first country to put all its X-files online -- about 100,000 alleged sightings over the last 70 years. There was so much public interest, the Web site crashed within two hours.

FRANCE Updates: New Scientist: France becomes the first country to open its files on UFOs
France opens up its UFO files
- 20:57 22 March 2007
- NewScientist.com news service
- New Scientist Space and AFP
The online archives, which will be updated as new cases are reported, catalogues in minute detail cases ranging from the easily dismissed to a handful that continue to perplex even hard-nosed scientists.
"It is a world first," says Jacques Patenet, the aeronautical engineer who heads the office for the study of "non-identified aerospatial phenomena."
Known as OVNIs in French, UFOs have always generated intense interest along with countless conspiracy theories about secretive government cover-ups of findings deemed too sensitive or alarming for public consumption.
"Cases such as the lady who reported seeing an object that looked like a flying roll of toilet paper" are clearly not worth investigating, says Patenet.
But many others involving multiple sightings – in at least one case involving thousands of people across France – and evidence such as burn marks and radar trackings showing flight patterns or accelerations that defy the laws of physics are taken very seriously.
No explanation
A phalanx of beefy security guards formed a barrier in front of the space agency (CNES) headquarters where the announcement was made, "to screen out uninvited UFOlogists," an official explained.Of the 1600 cases registered since 1954, nearly 25% are classified as "type D", meaning that "despite good or very good data and credible witnesses, we are confronted with something we can't explain", Patenet says.
On 8 January 1981 outside the town of Trans-en-Provence in southern France, for example, a man working in a field reported hearing a strange whistling sound and seeing a saucer-like object about 2.5 metres in diameter land in his field about 50 metres away.
A dull-zinc grey, the saucer took off almost immediately, leaving burn marks, he told police. Investigators took photos, and then collected and analysed samples, and to this day no satisfactory explanation has been made.
Flashing lights
The nearly 1000 witnesses who said they saw flashing lights in the sky on 5 November 1990, by contrast, had simply seen a rocket fragment falling back into Earth's atmosphere."We do not have the least proof that extra-terrestrials are behind the unexplained phenomena," says Patenet, adding: "Nor do we have the least proof that they aren't."
The CNES fields between 50 and 100 UFO reports ever year, usually written up by police. Of these, 10% are the object of on-site investigations, Patenet says.
Other countries, notably Britain and the US, collect data more or less systematically about unidentified flying objects. In the US, information can be requested on a case-by-case basis under the Freedom of Information Act.
"But we decided to do it the other way around and made everything available to the public," Patenet says.
The aim was to make it easier for scientists and other UFO buffs to access the data for research. The website itself – which crashed host servers hours after it was unveiled due to heavy traffic – is extremely well organised and complete, even including scanned copies of police reports.

France Makes Its Official UFO Files Public
By GriffUFOs are something we are all aware of, some people take no notice of them, some show a mild interest and some study them seriously. Whatever level of interest people may have about UFOs most people will be somewhat intrigued by them.
To date countries around the world have been very tight lipped about the UFO information they possessed, trying their best to keep it from the general public. Today France made a bold move by becoming the first country in the world to make its official UFO files available to the public.
The information has been made available today through a new website developed by the French national space agency. The UFO information revealed occurs during a fifty-year time span and includes 1,600 sightings.
The new online UFO archive will receive regular updates when new UFO sightings occur in France. Each case included on the UFO website contains every little detail about the sighting, no matter how unbelievable the sighting may have been. Many of the UFO sightings will be easy to dismiss or explain, but there are still a number of calls that have stumped scientists for years.
Jaques Patenet, an aeronautical engineer that heads the "office for the study of non-identified aerospatial phenomena" has said, "It is a world first." He then went on to discuss some of the UFO sightings found on the website. One of the most outlandish reports Patenent mentioned is "the lady who reported seeing an object that looked like a flying roll of toilet paper."
There was one case that at first seems quite interesting. This is because the UFO sighting had thousands of witnesses around France. The incident occurred on November 5, 1990 and witnesses described seeing flashing lights in the sky. However when the sighting was investigated it had a simple explanation. It had apparently been rocket fragments entering the earth's atmosphere and burning up.
One of the most intriguing and mystifying UFO sightings in France happened on January 8, 1981 near the southern village of Trans-en-Provence. A man who was out working in his field reported the incident. The man states that he heard an unusual whistling sound and that he saw a saucer shaped object. The man estimated that the object was about eight foot wide and that is had landed about 50 yards from him. The man said that the UFO was dull-zinc grey in colour and that it took off again within seconds of landing. The UFO left burn marks in the man's field. On receiving the sighting report investigators took samples for analysis from the site and also to photos of the burn marks left by the UFO.
When Patenet was questioned about the government having knowledge about extra terrestrial life he gave an answer that does not answer any questions. Patenet said, "We do not have the least proof that extra-terrestrials are behind the unexplained phenomena." "Nor do we have the least proof that they aren't."
Each year France gets around 50 to 100 UFO sightings reported to the police. Around 10 percent of these sightings are subject to on site investigation.
Many other countries systematically collect UFO information. Two of the biggest collectors are the United States and the United Kingdom.
The website is currently extremely busy and the unexpected large amounts of traffic cause the server to crash shortly after launch. It has a wealth of information that would interest even the mildly intrigued. Expect the site to be busy and a little slow until it can make adjustments to service the traffic. At the moment you visitors to the site will be able to look at around 400 UFO cases. The rest of the files will be added over the next few months.

"It's a world first," Patenet said. "It's true that in the United States you can ask for information on a case-by-case basis. But we have done the opposite by putting all the information at the disposition of the public."
The archives are available at http://www.cnes-geipan.fr
All of the files are scheduled to be online by the end of the year, Patenet said.
"We are working on the principle that there is nothing we will not put online with one exception: protecting an individual's privacy," he noted.
The files comprise principally witness statements taken by police officers, with personal data erased.
Patenet cautioned that "ufologists will not find any scoops or unknown cases in this database."

Comment from an Observor: Well written article, creating DIALOGUE: Former MP talks about UFOs
Written by Logan Crowell, Staff Writer Wednesday, 21 March 2007
Says aliens are real and that we really need to talk
According to the Ufology Research of Manitoba, there were over 700 unidentified flying object sightings in Canada during 2005. This was the second highest amount ever recorded, surpassed only by the year before. Around 92 per cent of annual sightings are either explained or unreliable. The remaining eight per cent, however, are considered high-quality, unexplained cases. They are the cases that have the potential to be authentic alien sightings.
Most UFO sightings receive no media attention and even less scientific inquiry. They lack credible, influential support. Without it, the believers are largely left on their own with little hope of proving the sightings as anything alien. So when Paul Hellyer, the former Canadian defence minister, announced that he had seen a UFO and believed it to be of alien origin, there was quite a ruckus.
The revelation was made by Hellyer in 2005 while giving a speech at an Exopolitics conference in Toronto. Exopolitics is the study of relations between humans and extraterrestrials, and the conference was held to discuss this. According to one Exopolitics website (www.exopolitics.com), most supporters of Exopolitics organizations believe aliens have already reached Earth and the time has come to address the issue of communicating with them.
So Hellyer, a member of both the Pearson and Trudeau cabinets, called on world governments to reveal that they have, over the years, located several alien vessels. The speech, currently available on Google Video, was met with thunderous applause. The nature of Hellyer's status instantly granted the Exopolitics organization the credentials it needed to be taken more seriously.
Following the speech, Hellyer did little to push world governments to follow his request until 2007. Speaking to the Ottawa Citizen in February, Hellyer stated he believed that the alien crafts that are found presented solutions for the climate crisis. If governments would admit what they had then, Hellyer claimed the problem may be solved.
"We need to persuade governments to come clean on what they know. Some of us suspect they know quite a lot, and it might be enough to save our planet if applied quickly enough," Hellyer said. It was a brave claim for the 83-year-old who is best known for merging the Canadian military units into the Canadian Forces.
Hellyer's comments made national and international headlines for their audacity. The timing of Hellyer's claim, however, was chosen to coincide with the release of a film called Fastwalkers. The film, sponsored by Exopolitics Toronto, compiles over 30 eyewitness accounts detailing the international government conspiracy hiding actual UFO debris. The group claims that the film features witnesses ranging from "intelligence officials, to major airline pilots, nuclear and optical physicists," among others. It is meant, along with Hellyer's claims, to generate a public outcry. If correct, the Exopolitics supporters would force major governments to reveal their UFO findings, and world problems such as global warming could be solved.
It is possible, however, that even if there were alien crafts currently held by world powers, they would fail to provide answers. Dr. Michael DeRobertis, York University professor and member of the Skeptics Canada Society for Critical Inquiry, says that he sees the challenge of reverse engineering alien technology as far beyond current human capacity.
"Suppose we could transport ourselves back in time 40 to 50,000 years ago ( . . . ) and we dropped off our watch with our earliest ancestors. They wouldn't have a clue what it was for. They may have some idea that it required mechanical design, but they would not have a clue," he stated. "The idea that any alien race that could make it here (to Earth), that we could make sense of (their technology), is pushing it a great deal." Accurate or not, the urge for true alien contact remains strong. Speculating on potential reasons for the strength of the alien urge, DeRobertis touched a note very similar to one of the claims made in the film Fastwalkers.
"At the same time as religious authority ( . . . ) has subsided, we have an increase in the number of people who are still seeking these transcendental urges ( . . . ) under the guise of science," he explained.
Fastwalkers' press release describes the film as exploring "some of the spiritual and religious implications of the disclosure of extraterrestrial life." The yearning for spirituality seems undeniably interconnected with the yearning for alien contact.
Whether there have indeed been alien visitors or not, the implications of such a visit have already begun to inspire humans to act. For Exopolitics Toronto, the inspiration has led to pieces such as Fastwalkers. Through the film, they hope to build their case and help others to believe. Furthermore, the appeal of supporters such as Hellyer is strong. The chance to add credibility to an incredible claim is invaluable.
For the scientific community, however, the name makes little difference.
"Many people would just love to be assured that we are not alone," said DeRobertis. "That there is a purpose to the universe."
Ultimately, however, he argued that an overwhelming majority of scientists would say there is no compelling evidence for extraterrestrials visiting our planet.

Progressive Talk Phoenix 1480 AM, Nova M Network Launch “Exopolitics Radio” Weekly Extraterrestrial Politics Talk Show
MEDIA ADVISORY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Exopolitics Radio: Inaugural Episode (48 Minutes)

Progressive Talk Phoenix 1480 AM, Nova M Network Launch “Exopolitics Radio” Weeklyom Extraterrestrial Politics Talk Show
Phoenix, AZ – Political talk show hosts at Progressive Talk Phoenix 1480 AM <www.aaphx.com> are being joined by new on-air host with a celestial political beat. The Nova M Network flagship station is launching EXOPOLITICS RADIO, a weekly program reporting on “Exopolitics” or Extraterrestrial politics on Saturday, March 10, 2007 at 8 PM MT (10 PM EST; 7 PM PT).
Exopolitics is a new political science for outer space. The Associated Press reported in January 2006 that “Exopolitics” had been nominated for 2005 Word of the Year. According host Alfred Lambremont Webre, “Exopolitics is the science of relations between Earth and other intelligent civilizations in the Universe.” Progressive Talk Phoenix 1480 AM’s company motto is “We need to talk.”
Exopolitics Radio’s expert guests will, each week, deal with in-depth public affairs developments in Exopolitics, such as:
♣ New Energy– New, fuel-less, energy and propulsion systems, based on Extraterrestrial principles, may have been developed using U.S. taxpayer funds and may now be in use on large classified spacecraft. If released into the civilian economy, these New Energy systems could replace all petroleum and nuclear-based energy, triggering an era of prosperity and transformation of the permanent war economy into a sustainable, peaceful Space Age society.
♣ Disarmament in Outer Space – Former Canadian Minister of Defence Paul Hellyer has stated that the U.S. Space Command is now planning to place weapons in space, under the cover of “Star Wars,” with the intent of starting an inter-stellar war with advanced Extraterrestrial Civilizations now visiting Earth. In fact, there is no evidence these advanced, ethical ETs are hostile. “Star Wars” may be the latest corporate welfare hoax for the defense industry. Advanced ETs appear to be here to help Earth transition into membership in organized Galactic society.
In October 2006, the UN General Assembly nations voted 166-1 in favor of a Space Preservation Treaty banning all weapons in space (The USA was the sole dissenting vote).
♣ Disclosure – Following the Disclosure Project National Press Club Press Conference in May 9, 2001, which brought together over 20 high level military-intelligence and governmental witnesses to the Extraterrestrial presence, disclosure initiatives are now active in the U.S. Congress, Canada, Brazil, the European Parliament, the United Nations and elsewhere.
♣ Diplomacy – Updates on a Decade of Contact including public interest diplomacy with Off-planet cultures now visiting Earth, for mutual benefit.
EXOPOLITICS RADIO Host Alfred Webre has a long background in Exopolitics. As a Futurist in at Stanford Research Institute (SRI), he was Principal Investigator of the proposed 1977 Carter White House Extraterrestrial Communication Study. In 2000, Alfred released an online treatise that was to become EXOPOLITICS: POLITICS, GOVERNMENT AND LAW IN THE UNIVERSE (Universebooks), a book credited with founding the field of Exopolitics. Alfred is International Director of the Institute for Cooperation In Space (ICIS), based in Vancouver, BC, Canada and Vilcabamba, Ecuador.
EXOPOLITICS RADIO guests include distinguished Exopolitics researchers and activists, including Dr. Steven Greer (Director of the Disclosure Project); Stephen Bassett (Director of X-PPAC, the Extraterrestrial Activist Community Political Action Committee); Dr. Michael Salla (Former American University Professor and Director of the Exopolitics Institute); Paola Harris, MA; Dr. Carol Rosin, President of the Institute for Cooperation in Space (ICIS) and Dr. Rebecca Hardcastle of Phoenix, AZ.
