Joiner Report

Will Archer City, Texas, be the next Stephenville Lights?

Lisa Brock-Piekarski and Grady Herzog will be guests on the show Friday night for a short 5-10 minute interview.

On August 6, 2010, their motion-activated infrared game camera mounted at a favorite hunting spot in Archer City, just south of Wichita Falls, captured an unexpected view of something other than the critters roaming around the area.

In an August 24 interview with NBC(DFW), Lisa described the object in the video. “What I see looks almost like a Frisbee,” she said. “You see several lights going around, and they’re all symmetrical and lit up, and it just looks like an object in the sky.” Times recorded on the video indicate the object hovered for about two hours.

Be certain to listen to The Joiner Report Friday night, 27th, on the UFO Paranormal Radio Network beginning at 9 p.m. Central, for the latest information on the most recent sighting of something yet unexplained in the Texas skies. Click on the link provided to view the video before the show.

Investigator/Researcher Don Cooper on The Joiner Report

Paul Epley’s life has been threatened for talking about three topics. But now that he is 80 years old and fighting cancer, he just wants to get these things off his chest. He is now relating his story to the public about seeing a live Roswell alien, being used as a military assassin, and encouraged to participate in the elimination of Martin Luther King.

North Carolina MUFON’s former investigator Don Cooper has researched this case extensively and will discuss Epley’s shocking account on Friday night’s The Joiner Report with host Angelia Joiner and co-host Grant (Presidential UFO) Cameron.

When Paul Epley related some of his military experiences in the 1990s and several published in the local newspaper, he was immediately visited by two FBI agents and told to keep his mouth shut or it would shut for him. He complied. However, with his illness and the haunting memories of what had occurred during and after his military career, he related his story in August 2010 and released documents that were not to be revealed until after his death.

Epley vividly remembers the day at Camp Peary (known as “The Farm”) near Williamsburg, Virginia, when the MP, who knew Epley, guarding a bunker allowed Epley into the room where a caged alien was being held. The guard said it was the fifth one from Roswell, and they were being moved somewhere up north.

Another recurring memory is that of the Korean War when the military ordered the 18 year-old soldier and others to assassinate the North Koreans who had aided the U.S. with intelligence information. The informants were killed, thrown in a ditch, and a grenade tossed in so it would appear to be a combat death. This was to prevent the Koreans from passing on classified information used during the war.

Finally, in 1967, long after his military discharge, Epley said he was summoned to Langley AFB and met with two civilians and an Air Force colonel and Army colonel. The topic of that conversation was his participating in the planned Martin Luther King assassination. He explained he had served his country and had a family to consider and left as soon as possible.

Don Cooper will fill in the blanks and answer the questions his in-depth research has brought to light. Cooper has been interested in UFOs since 1968 after his aunt’s reported sighting. He only recently resigned from the NC MUFON. A great deal of investigation has been done since July 2005 on The Brown Mountain Lights. He has made 51 trips with witnesses to the site, failing to see them only four times. He is a retired minister, Chaplain of the county’s local Disabled American Veterans chapter, and quite active in his community.

Salas and Hastings on The Joiner Report

Another doubleheader Friday night. The Joiner Report’s guests are Robert Salas and Robert Hastings.

(L-R) Robert Salas and Robert Hastings

Captain Robert Salas graduated from the Air Force Academy and spent seven years in active duty from 1964 to 1971. He also held positions at Martin Marietta and Rockwell and spent 21 years at the FAA. In the Air Force, he was an air traffic controller and a missile launch officer as well as an engineer on the Titan 3 missiles. He testified about a UFO incident on the morning of March 16, 1967, where 16 nuclear missiles simultaneously became non-operational at two different launch facilities immediately after guards saw UFOs hovering above.

Robert Hastings ventured into the lecture circuit after getting hundreds of interviews from former and retired U.S. Air Force personnel with first-hand experience about UFOs. He has spoken at more than 500 universities and colleges. His first degree is from Ohio University in photography, but in the mid 1980s he retrained in electron microscopy and also received a certificate in Materials Science applications. He was employed by Philips Semiconductors as a laboratory analyst while continuing to educate others about UFOs in his spare time. According to ufohastings.com, his book, UFOs and Nukes, answers many questions and poses more.

On September 27, 2010, a group of nine ex-military witnesses who have had experiences with UFOs at nuclear weapons bases will present their incidents publicly at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.  Both Salas and Hastings are organizing this grass-roots effort in order to inform the public about this nexus of nuclear weapons and UFOs. Donations are being accepted to cover the expense of this effort and can be made through the website www.ufohastings.com

The broadcast is from 9 to 11 p.m. CST on the UFO Paranormal Radio Network, http://www.ufoparanormalradio.homestead.com/Main_Page_version_2.html. Instructions to join PalTalk’s virtual auditorium (www.paltalk.com) can be found on this web site.


Guest Host Frank Warren with Jesse Marcel, Dennis Balthaser

Guest host Frank Warren (The UFO Chronicles) will interview two noted guests on Friday night’s The Joiner Report. During the first hour, Jesse Marcel, Jr. will relate his special relationship with his father, U.S. Army Air Force Major Jesse Marcel, and the first hand information related following the 1947 Roswell crash of an unidentified craft. Truth Seeker Dennis Balthaser will join Frank in the second hour to discuss his investigative research in ufology and upcoming lectures during the Roswell festival.

Jesse Marcel, Jr. said he waited a long time to tell his story—in his own words. Sixty years after the event, his book The Roswell Legacy was the result.

Marcel said his focus was to present the reader with a clearer picture of the man who was—and remains—at the center of the Roswell, New Mexico, controversy…his father.

Major Jesse Marcel was the head of intelligence at a Roswell Army airfield, and on July 6, 1947, witnessed the wreckage of an unidentified craft on a ranch in Chaves County, outside the Roswell area. In 1986, the Major’s final request to his son was to tell the truth about Roswell when the military no longer posed a threat to his family.

The deathbed promise was fulfilled with the publication of  The Roswell Legacy: The Untold Story of the First Military Officer of the 1947 Crash Site. (Available at Amazon.com)

Marcel’s story is based on events related to the 11-year old by his father. Public speculation and controversy followed the alleged event. Marcel acknowledges that while his account carries within its own bias, “I realize that my duty to my father is to present him as the man he was, as accurately as possible…I feel I am the only living person truly qualified to wield the brush,” he said. “I hope I serve his memory well.”

Jesse Marcel, Sr. was inducted into the Roswell Hall of Fame on July 4, 2009.

Jesse Marcel, Jr. earned a degree in medicine in 1961. He joined the U.S. Navy in 1962 He completed specialty training in Otolaryngology at the Naval Hospital, San Diego, California. After retiring from the Navy in 1971, he entered private practice in Montana. Marcel joined the Montana Army National Guard in 1973, and on his 60th birthday in August 1996, retired from the military for the second time. In 2004, the Iraqi war required his being recalled to active duty as a flight surgeon for the 189th Attack Helicopter Battalion, flying 225 hours of combat. He was again discharged from active duty in December 2005 to the Ready Reserve, but has continued his service at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Fort Harrison, Montana. (For additional bio and book information, see http://www.marceljr.com/)

Dennis Balthaser (http://www.truthseekeratroswell.com/) is an independent researcher, journalist and lecturer living in Roswell, New Mexico. His focus is the Roswell Incident of 1947; however, his research extends to investigations of Area 51, underground bases and ancient Egypt.

The researcher’s interest in the Roswell Incident expanded as he met with witnesses, traveled to the alleged incident sites, and visited with authors and historians on the subject. When he began his own investigations, they yielded material for informative lectures. His work has made him a popular guest on Internet and Radio talk shows, major television networks, and UFO symposiums regarding the Roswell Incident.

He has been featured in countless documentaries, and European, Japanese, and American productions including those for ABC, NBC, CNN, MTV, Sci-FI, TLC, Discover Channel, History Channel, Travel Channel, Kids Discovery Channel, Weekend Today Show, The Fox Network Ted Koppel’s “Night Line.”

Balthaser’s articles are now featured in UFO Magazine, a leading source of information in the UFO field. The magazine reports facts about sightings, abductions, current research, new technologies, and conspiracy.

Join Frank Warren and guests Jesse Marcel and Dennis Balthaser for two fast-paced hours on The Joiner Report, Friday, July 2, 9-11 p.m. ET, on the UFO Paranormal Radio Network, http://www.ufoparanormalradio.homestead.com/Main_Page_version_2.html

Richard C. Hoagland on The Joiner Report

Richard C. Hoagland is a former space science museum curator, a former NASA consultant, and during the historic Apollo Missions to the Moon, was science adviser to Walter Cronkite and CBS News.

For over 25 years, Hoagland has been leading an outside scientific team in a critically acclaimed independent analysis of possible intelligently-designed artifacts on Mars. Richard and his team’s investigations have been quietly extended to include over 30 years of previously hidden data from NASA, Soviet, and Pentagon missions to the Moon.

However, with the April oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, his attention refocused on earth’s happenings. Recently, on “Coast to Coast,” Hoagland discussed a possible Gulf “Armageddon scenario.” Hoagland said if the cap rock below the Deepwater Horizon’s BOP finally bursts, it could release an unstoppable tsunami which could kill hundreds of thousands. He said to prevent this, the BP “mud logs” for the Gulf must be made publicly available. And, a Gulf network of buoys must monitor the situation. He urged the public to email the White House and demand that the President make it so.

Additional information about Richard Hoagland and his many achievements can be found on his Enterprise Mission website, www.enterprisemission.com.

The two-hour broadcast begins at 9:00 p.m. CST, at http://www.ufoparanormalradio.homestead.com/Main_Page_version_2.html


Fox, Fabregas, Montaldo, Resnick on The Joiner Report

Is the earth’s sea floor in crisis? Are the U.S.’s southern coastal wetlands and wildlife in jeopardy? The Gulf’s oil spill has garnered as much attention in the last 52 days as the war, historical state primaries, and the Blackhawks’ Stanley Cup win. And ‘BP’ has become a common household acronym that can have various meanings for those in the wake of the nation’s worst oil disaster.

The in-depth discussion continues on Friday night when The Joiner Report welcomes noted guests James Fox, Mel Fabregas, Joe Montaldo, and Joseph Resnick.

James Fox is well known for his ufology research and documentary films such as “Out of the Blue,” and the most recent “I Know What I Saw.” However, his attention turned to ‘below the blue’ this week as he reported the grave situation from Grand Isle, Louisiana, to Mel Fabregas around 1:00 a.m. Tuesday. “There is a media blackout. People are being arrested!” Fox said those questioned about the oil spill and present conditions would avoid looking at him and were hesitant to answer any questions for fear of repercussions from officials. He filmed interviews on the streets of New Orleans where residents and tourists vented their anger about the situation and the serious environmental and economical damage occurring with the thousands of barrels of oil gushing daily into the waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Mel Fabregas, producer and presenter of The Veritas Show, (www.veritasshow.com), immediately uploaded the conversation with Fox. Fabregas said the public response was instant. On Tuesday afternoon, he posted on his website, “Our servers have been jammed all day long. I’m glad that together we can make a difference and circumvent the mainstream mediaopoly.” He stated he will continue to post updates as they are made available from Fox, who is scheduled to be in New Orleans for two weeks of investigation, as well as from other sources who wish to contribute information as it becomes available.

Joe Montaldo is the producer of the UFO Paranormal Radio Network. As he is based in New Orleans, he will have an up close and personal view of events in his state and the effects this tragedy is having on its people and the economical setbacks to come while still recovering from Hurricane Katrina’s devastation.

Dr. Joseph A. Resnick is an accomplished applied scientist, author, electro-mechanical engineer, lecturer, holding 26 patents (12 Classified) with extensive lateral skill sets in medicine, electrical and mechanical engineering, earth and space systems architecture/component design, defense security programs, global communication systems architectures engineering and Military/Homeland strategic defense. He is a recognized expert in strategic defense program design, functioning in various public and private consultancies to both the US Government and Department of Defense.

It’s going to be a banner night on The Joiner Report. The two-hour show begins at 9 p.m. CST, Friday, June 11, www.ufoparanormalradio.homestead.com/Main_Page_version_2.html

Listeners are invited to join the virtual chat room at www.paltalk.com prior to the broadcast.


Debbie Jordan-Kauble encores on The Joiner Report

Debbie Jordan-Kauble returns to The Joiner Report Friday night. Due to technial difficulties during her previous interview, listeners were unable to hear her complete story.

Kauble was the central figure in Budd Hopkins’ New York Times best-seller, Intruders, the Incredible Visitations at Copley Woods, using the pseudonym ‘Kathy Davis’ to protect her young family. Then, in 1992, she revealed her true identity and with her sister, Kathy Mitchell, co-authored Abducted, The Story of the Intruders Continues. Her experiences eventually propelled her into the Mutual UFO Network as a field investigator. Her years of personal experience have given her an insight into the phenomena not often found in the field.

After a break of several years, she found herself back in her role as investigator after the April 16 event in Kokomo, Indiana, now known as the “Kokomo Boom” and featured on two national cable broadcasts. She has appeared on The Discovery Channel’s “Investigation X,” the History Channel’s “UFO Hunters,” the Sci-Fi Channel, Unsolved Mysteries, and other well known shows.

In April, 2008, she expanded deeper into the paranormal when she joined the team at M.R.I.P.A. (Midwestern Researchers and Investigators of Paranormal Activity) as their resident Ufologist and EVP specialist. Drawing from personal experiences, she brings a unique perspective to her work with MRIPA as well.

The two-hour broadcast begins at 9 p.m. CST, Friday, June 4, at http://www.ufoparanotmalradio.homestead.com/Main_Page_version_2.html.


The Joiner Report Welcomes Grant Cameron and Larry W. Bryant

Two distinguished guests are scheduled for Friday night’s The Joiner Report. Noted Canadian ufologist Grant Cameron and research/writer Larry W. Bryant will share the two-hour broadcast. New Hampshire’s former state legislature Henry McElroy’s recent statement regarding an undisclosed document that President Eisenhower was briefed on an ET presence in the United States will be only one of the informative topics to be discussed.

Cameron became interested in ufology in 1975 after the sighting of an object, which became known as Charlie Red Star. Hundreds of Canadian sightings occurred during 1975-76. After composing a manuscript of his experiences, he began researching Canadian government investigations. One result of his efforts was the co-authored book, UFO, MJ-12, AND THE GOVERNMENT, published by MUFON. In the past few years, Cameron’s UFO research interests have become focused on the involvement and actions of the Presidents of the United States, which has required numerous trips to the U.S. National Archives and presidential libraries for Truman, Eisenhower, Johnson, Ford, Carter, Reagan, and Clinton. He interviewed Vice-president Dick Cheney on his knowledge of UFOs. Cameron’s FOIA to the White House yielded 1,000 pages of UFO documents from the Clinton era. His material has been chronicled on his personal website http://www.presidentialufo.com/. Recently Cameron teamed up with Giuliano Marinkovic to produce a DVD called “Who Knows,” audio and video clips of politicians and famous people talking about UFOs.

Larry W. Bryant’s journey toward full governmental UFO truth began in 1957, the debut year for Ray Palmer’s newsstand magazine “Flying Saucers.” In recent years, he has become a columnist for the newsstand periodical UFO Magazine; has helped UFO-E.T.-disclosure lobbyist Stephen Bassett run for Congress in Maryland’s 8th district (circa 2002); has published a compilation of UFO-related letters received by the White House (UFO Politics at the White House: Citizens Rally ’round Jimmy Carter’s Promise – still available at http://www.galdepress.com/); and, for a couple of years, has been posting essays, articles, and correspondence upon his web log at http://ufoview.posterous.com/. He sums up: “I have no illusions that full government disclosure of the Deepest Secret will occur in my lifetime. But, at least I’ve tried to help pave the way for others who might wish to adopt this life’s journey of civic inquiry, analysis, lobbying, and disseminating one’s findings, conclusions, and recommendations.”

Tune in for Angelia Joiner, Grant Cameron, and Larry Bryant’s two-hour discussion on The Joiner Report, Friday night, May 21, from 9-10 p.m. CST, on the UFO Paranormal Radio Network, www.ufoparanormalradio.homestead.com/Main_Page_version_2.html.

Grant Cameron


Paola Leopizzi-Harris on The Joiner Report

Friday night’s guest is Paola Leopizzi-Harris, a noted photojournalist and investigative reporter in the field of extraterrestrial related phenomena. She is a widely published free-lance writer, especially in Europe, and has interviewed many top military witnesses concerning their involvement in the government truth embargo. Her many accomplishments are listed on her web site, www.paolaharris.com.

One of the topics to be discussed will be Paola’s most recent interview with Canadian’s former Minister of Defense Paul Hellyer regarding his book, LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL: (A Survival Plan for the Human Species), in which he shares his views of the world’s major problems and the end results should events not reverse themselves. Harris’ previous interview with Hellyer has been translated into six languages and available on DVD.

Another discussion of interest will be Helen Littrell’s book, RAECHEL’S EYES (The Strange But True Case of a Human-Alien Hybrid), which is a mother’s story of her blind daughter Marisa’s experiences while sharing an apartment with her unusual college roommate. Littrell ultimately underwent hypnotic regression therapy for any explanations of the unusual occurrences in her life.

Also penned in on the program’s agenda is the information recently released to the public of the esteemed scientist and writer Carl Sagan’s 1984 revelation to Dr. J. Allen Hynek that he (Sagan) believed UFOs were real, but avoided any public statements to prevent the loss of academic research funding. Harris is a former associate of Dr. Hynek and worked with him from 1980 to1985. Her disclosure of the conversation has quickly fueled the UFO community’s news blogs.

This week’s The Joiner Report will most assuredly be one not to miss. Tune in Friday, May 14, from 9-11 p.m. CST, on the UFO Paranormal Radio Network, http://ufoparanormalradio.homestead.com/Main_Page_version_2.html. The chat room will be buzzing, so sign up at www.paltalk.com prior to the show.

C. Scott Littleton Ph.D. – Eye Witness To ‘The Battle of Los Angeles’ Joins Frank Warren On The Joiner Report

By Frank Warren
The UFO Chronicles
3-24-10

Good friend and colleague Scotty Littleton joins me, Frank Warren, this coming Friday night on The Joiner Report. The topic is The Battle of Los Angeles, February 25, 1942, to which Littleton was an eyewitness.

Professor C. Scott Littleton was born in Los Angeles, CA, in 1933 and grew up in Hermosa Beach, CA. He attended Redondo Union High School, Redondo Beach, CA (1946-50), served in the U.S. Army in Japan and Korea (1950-52), and attended El Camino College in Torrance, CA (1952-54), before enrolling at UCLA in 1955, where he received his B.A. (1957), M.A. (1962), and Ph.D. (1965). He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa at UCLA in 1957.

An internationally recognized expert in comparative Indo-European mythology and folklore, as well as Japanese religion, Professor Littleton has published extensively on Japanese myth and religion, the origin and distribution of the Arthurian and Holy Grail legends, and the theories of the late French mythologist Georges Dumézil. He is the author of The New Comparative Mythology (3rd Edition, University of California Press, 1982) and, with Linda A. Malcor, co-author of From Scythia to Camelot: A Radical Reassessment of the Legends of King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table, and the Holy Grail (Garland, 1994; a revised, paperback edition appeared in 2000). He is the editor of Eastern Wisdom (Henry Holt, 1996), a book surveying the major Asian religions, as well as the author of the chapter on Shinto, the indigenous religion of Japan, and has contributed chapters on Japanese mythology and religion to several other anthologies, including Roy Willis, ed., World Mythology: The Illustrated Guide (Simon & Schuster, 1993), Michael Coogan, ed., World Religion: The Illustrated Guide (Oxford University Press, 1998), and Raymond Scupin, ed., Religion and Culture: An Anthropological Focus (Prentice Hall, 2000). A semi-popular book, Shinto: Origins, Rituals, Festivals, Spirits, Sacred Places, was recently published by Oxford University Press (2002). He is the general editor of Mythology: The Illustrated Anthology of World Myth & Storytelling, which was recently published by Duncan Baird Publishers (July, 2002), as well as of Gods, Goddesses, and Mythology (Marshall-Cavendish, 2004).

Littleton has done extensive field work in a Tokyo neighborhood, focusing on its annual matsuri, or Shinto shrine festival, an account of which appeared in an article entitled “The Organization and Management of a Tokyo Shinto Shrine Festival” (Ethnology 25:195202, 1986). He has also studied contemporary Japanese popular culture, focusing on the teenage dancers and rock bands that perform on Sunday afternoons in Tokyo’s Yoyogi Park (e.g., “Rituals of Rebellion among Contemporary Japanese Youth: The Outdoor Disco at Tokyo’s Yoyogi Park,” Religion 17:119131, 1987), and is currently researching the possibility that elements of the Arthurian tradition diffused to China and Japan as well as to Europe from its point of origin in the Trans-Caucasian steppes (e.g., “Yamato-takeru: An ‘Arthurian’ Hero in Japanese Tradition,” Asian Folklore Studies 54:259-274, 1995). His other research interests include nineteenth-century travel accounts—with Horace L. Hotchkiss, he is co-editor of The Diaries of Blakely Wilson: An American Traveler in Europe, Egypt, and the Holy Land, 1874-1876 (Mellen Press, 1998)—and the occult and the paranormal, especially the folkloric and mythological implications of the UFO phenomenon. He is especially interested in the extent to which rebel deities, such as Lucifer, Prometheus, and the Mesoamerican god Quetzalcoátl, are reflections of ancient alien dissidents. He has also researched the so-called “Battle of Los Angeles,” to which he was an eyewitness, wherein a mysterious object, apparently impervious to 1400 or more anti-aircraft rounds, flew over the Los Angeles basin in the wee hours of February 25, 1942, and the possibility that this object may have been an alien craft rather than a stray Japanese observation plane or an errant barrage balloon. Littleton’s science fiction novel, Phase Two, which is concerned with UFOs, alien abductions, etc. was published in 2002 by The Invisible College Press.

His articles and reviews have appeared in American Anthropologist, Ethnology, Ethos, Journal of American Folklore, Journal of Asian Studies, Monumenta Nipponica, Journal of Folklore Research, Western Folklore, Asian Folklore Studies, Religion, History of Religions, Natural History, Journal of the Classical Tradition, UFO Magazine, Cosmos, and The Journal of Indo-European Studies, where he also serves as mythology co-editor. In addition to essays on Indo-European mythology and Georges Dumézil in Mircea Eliade, et al. eds., The Encyclopedia of Religion (Macmillan, 1987, 2004) and Simon Glendinning, ed., The Edinburgh Encyclopedia of Continental Philosophy (Edinburgh University Press, 1999), he has contributed a variety of articles to The Encyclopedia of Religion and War (Routledge, 2004) and The New Dictionary of the History of Ideas (Charles Scribner’s Sons, 2004). He is also the author of the basic article on “Mythology” in The World Book Encyclopedia (Scott Fetzer, 1991), as well as over fifty short articles on mythological subjects for both The World Book Encyclopedia and the Academic American Encyclopedia.

He has received grants and fellowships from the American Council of Learned Societies (twice), the American Philosophical Society, and the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, and has served as a Visiting Fulbright Lecturer at The University of Tokyo and Waseda University (1980-81), Tokyo, Japan, and as a Senior Fulbright Researcher at Waseda University (1994). In 1991 he received The Graham L. Sterling Memorial Award, given annually to a distinguished member of the Occidental College faculty. He retired from full-time teaching at Occidental, after forty years, in May of 2002.

Frank Warren, UFO Chronicles


Bruce Maccabee, Frances Barwood, and Mike Fortson join guest host Frank Warren on The Joiner Report

This month marks the 13th anniversary of what has erroneously been labeled The Phoenix Lights. The name in part stuck because the media feels the need to use “visual aids” at any opportunity; henceforth, the lights that were captured on video at around 10:00 p.m. were melded together with eyewitness accounts of a large craft(s) seen in the eight o’clock hour.

Unfortunately, while the video images were gaining traction, and became a media frenzy, the official reports (MUFON), which determined that the 10:00 p.m. videos were, in fact, flares, got thrown by the way-side.

It was MUFON investigator Richard Motzer who not only was the recipient of the flare videos early on, it was he that initially discovered the discrepancy between the witnesses to the 10:00 p.m. flare shots and the accounts in the eight o’clock hour. Point of fact is there were thousands of witnesses to the huge craft in the eight o’clock hour and only a handful at 10:00 p.m. (who happened to capture the lights [flares] on video).

This precipitated an investigation by Motzer, which would entail going to the locations of the videographers and triangulating all the pertinent videos. Stills were shot during the day at each relevant location, and he determined that the lights were above and beyond the “Estrellas,” in the airspace of the Barry M. Goldwater Air Force Range—not over South Mountain as initially thought. He then ascertained the time and days of military exercises, which included flare drops, and discovered that the days and times corresponded to previous video and or witness accounts of “orange lights” in that vicinity. His report was completed by mid May of ’97, just two months after the events of March 13th. This clearly explained why people on the valley floor didn’t see the flares, as it was impossible, unless one was at a higher elevation, like the videographers.

Not long after that report was made, the Air Force came clean and made an official statement admitting that the visiting Maryland Air National Guard (MANG) did eject their remaining flares before returning to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. Regrettably, this has been a bone of contention and source of confusion ever since!

In part, because the media often interviewed eight o’clock witnesses, while showing the 10:00 p.m. flare videos, the former was adamant that “flares” is not what they witnessed—and this, of course, is correct. Separating, and being cognizant of the two (and other) events, is in fact the actual problem.

As time went by, there would be other investigations and scientific analyses confirming Motzer’s conclusions. One of the most in-depth analyses done, was performed by Dr. Bruce Maccabee, recently retired as an optical physicist from the Naval Surface Warfare Center and long time respected Ufologist.

Dr. Maccabee, along with direct eyewitness Mike Fortson and former Phoenix city council member Frances Emma Barwood will join Frank Warren as guest host for this Friday’s Joiner Report.

Together, they will sort out the events of March 13, 1997, which includes one of the most significant events in UFO history as well as the distraction caused by the flare footage.

This will be another outstanding evening for listeners. Show time: Friday, March 19, 9-11 p.m. CST, UFO Paranormal Radio Network, www.ufoparanormalradio.homestead.com.

Dr. Lynne Kitei on Friday’s The Joiner Report

“On the evening of March 13, 1997, a collection of unidentified flying objects crossed the

Dr. Lynne Kitei

state of Arizona from north to south and back again. It was an incident that has become known worldwide as the Phoenix Lights.” (Dr. Lynne Kitei, The Phoenix Lights, Hamilton Roads Publishing Co, p. 1)

The account of this event explains something extraordinary happened in the skies over Phoenix and across Arizona. On that clear evening, a parade of low flying, mile wide V-shaped formations of orbs and craft glided silently overhead, attracting the attention of at least 10,000 people.

Dr. Lynne Kitei is an internationally acclaimed physician and health educator who pushed aside her successful medical career to pursue The Phoenix Lights book and internationally award-winning Documentary project. She was leading the cutting edge era of early disease detection and prevention as Chief Clinical Consultant of the Imaging-Prevention-Wellness Center at the world renowned Arizona Heart Institute in Phoenix, Arizona, until coming forward, after seven years of anonymity, as a key witness to the historic and still unexplained mass sighting throughout Arizona on March 13, 1997.

The March 2010 revised and expanded version of the best selling 2004 of The Phoenix Lights edition shares the latest UFO developments and sightings, in addition to a convincing connection between all Unexplained Phenomena—what the author calls UPs. There is also recent testimony from eyewitnesses, a 911 Phoenix police operator, as well as commercial and military pilots. In addition, former Arizona governor Fife Symington, who mocked the sighting at a press conference in 1997, now admits publicly that he witnesses the event and what he saw was “otherworldly.”

Numerous fellow ufologists have praised her efforts in her giant foot forward in supporting the reality that ‘we are not alone.’

Nick Pope, former minister of defense, UK, said “Dr. Lynne Kitei has done more than anyone to research the Phoenix Lights sightings and to keep them where they belong—under the media spotlight and in the public eye.”

Filmmaker and researcher David Sereda said, “The Phoenix Lights is now one of the great wonders of the world for those who have their eyes and minds open.”

Michael E. Salla, founder of the Expolitics Institute, Hawaii, stated, “”Dr. Lynne Kitei’s efforts to study the Phoenix Lights phenomenon and discuss its broader social impacts makes an important contribution to the exopolitical movement. The evidence presented by Dr. Kitei in her books and films makes her work an important of the UFO Disclosure movement.”

Kitei’s background has not entirely consisted of the study of UFOs. She has been called the “woman pioneer” of medical communications in TV Guide after creating and producing innovative TV News health reports for NBC in Philadelphia in 1976. She has been featured on USA Cable, FOX TV News, FOX in the morning, ABC, CNN and CBS affiliates, Comcast, NBC Japan, MSNBC, Dateline NBC, National Geographic TV, The Travel Channel, and the History Channel.

Her endeavors have been featured in publications including TV Guide Magazine, New Dawn Magazine, Runner Magazine, Physician’s Management Magazine, Phoenix Magazine, UFO Magazine, National News Network, The Philadelphia Inquirer and numerous others. She has also been recognized in the “Who’s Who of American Women” and was chosen as Pennsylvania’s Woman of the Year.

Kitei has been a keynote speaker throughout the United States and abroad and has won over a dozen international film festival awards. During her continuous travels, she introduces screenings of the internationally award winning Phoenix Lights Documentary, as well as presentations for her best selling book, The Phoenix Lights…A Skeptic’s Discovery That We are Not Alone, presently available in major book stores and Amazon.com.

On Friday, March 12, 9-10 p.m. CST, The Joiner Report will welcome Dr. Lynne Kitei on the UFO Paranormal Radio Network, http://ufoparanormalradio.homestead.com.


The Joiners DON’T Know What They Saw, Part 3, with guest “Oregon Bob”

Angelia and Randell Joiner

The Joiner Report version of We DON’T Know What We Saw will continue on Friday, March 5., when Angelia and Frank Warren of UFO Chronicles will interview “Oregon Bob.” If you missed the first reports on Feb. 19 and 26 when Angelia interviewed Jamie McDowell (www.verticalstudios.net) and then with Frank Warren of UFO Chronicles interviewed Jack W. Peters (www.jackwpeters.com) about their encounter at an Oregon location, then be sure and listen to the archives. 

During this Friday’s show, “Oregon Bob” will tell how he first stumbled onto this paranormal area and why he’s kept quiet for so many years. At this time Bob’s full name will be revealed. This exclusive event will be co-hosted with Frank Warren.

Jamie described mysterious balls of light, a vibration along her spine, and some sort of energy hitting her camera making it inoperable, which also knocked her and the camera operator to the ground. Jamie talked very candidly about her experience, which led her to counseling and profoundly impacted her life.

During the last show on Feb. 26, Angelia and Randell Joiner described seeing in the fall of 2008 what appeared to be a craft on the ground near the same location as Jack and Jamie’s experiences. A red light suddenly appeared at the edge of the road in the dense vegetation, which moved to the right in a straight horizontal line and quickly disappeared.  Jack had also described the balls of light and his impression of how Jamie intuitively knew where the lights would appear. He is planning to make a documentary of the events, all of which began with a phone call from “Oregon Bob” to relate some unusual activity in the Pacific Northwest.

Be certain to tune in for this segment of The Joiner Report on Friday, March 5, 9-10 p.m. CST on the UFO Paranormal Radio Network, http://www.ufoparanormalradio.homestead.com/Main_Page_version_2.html or join us in the virtual chat room at www.paltalk.com.

The Joiners DON’T Know What They Saw, Part 2

The Joiner Report version of We DON’T Know What We Saw will continue on Friday, Feb. 26. If you missed the first report on Feb. 19

Angelia and Randell Joiner

when  Angelia interviewed Jamie McDowell (www.verticalstudios.net) about her encounter at an Oregon location, then be sure and listen to the archive so you will be up to date.

Jamie describes mysterious balls of light, a vibration on her back, and some sort of energy hitting her camera making it inoperable, which also knocked her and the camera operator to the ground. Jamie talks very candidly about her experience, which led her to counseling and profoundly impacted her life.

In the fall of 2008, Angelia Joiner called Jamie to get her “take” on what was occurring in the region. After speaking with Jamie and others involved, Angelia and her husband Randell decided to make the trip to investigate. They encountered something neither of them could explain in the same Oregon location as Jamie. Up until now, the couple has only shared this event with close friends.

Angelia and Randell will describe what it was they saw to Frank Warren of UFO Chronicles and leave you the listener to draw your own conclusions.

Phoenix Lights documentary premiere

In May 2008, Phoenix-based UFO investigator Larry Lowe conducted an examination of the March 13, 1997, Phoenix Lights events for Base Productions producer Chris Lofft.

On Feb. 22, his investigative work on the phenomenon will be featured in a documentary to premiere on the National Geographic Channel as “American Paranormal: UFOs Over Phoenix” and scheduled to air at 9 p.m. and 12 a.m. EST.

Lowe said the new documentary focuses attention on the 8 p.m. craft sightings as a separate event from the controversial 10 p.m. lights seen south of the Pheonix Valley.  Building on eyewitness accounts of the sightings that night, the challenge presented to a scientific analysis team is to try to account for witness observations with known technology.

“Not surprisingly,” Lowe said, “the conclusion arrived at is that science and the known state of human engineering cannot account for the observations reported by hundreds of Phoenix residents more than a dozen years ago.” He said there is no known means for human designed and produced technology to create objects that match the observed performance characteristics of whatever presented itself on that night.

According to Lowe, this episode, following the tradition established by James Fox in “I Know What I Saw” and opens with its own look at the Phoenix Lights incident, takes the observers’ reports at face value and ends up with essentially the same conclusion.  Either there is an enormously well-funded and unimaginably successful alternate technology development program that has no apparent application in everyday reality, OR somebody other than human beings are operating technology so advanced as to appear magical in our skies.

Lowe is a veteran of three decades of inquiry into the UFO phenomena and has recently taken a more active role in the public discussion of UFOs. He is a journalist for Examiner.com.  He has appeared on the History Channel as a UFO reality spokesman and is active in the formation of Evolver Phoenix, a node of the Evolver network, dedicated to positive transformation of society towards sustainable stability.

Lowe has been slated to be the Master of Ceremonies for The Phoenix Rising Conference to be held in April in Phoenix which includes an impressive list of speakers. (http://risingasone.com/speakers.html)

On this return visit to The Joiner Report, Lowe will discuss the making of the documentary, the material that could not be included in the show due to time constraints, and the larger context of national and worldwide UFO reports in which the Phoenix Lights must be considered. The interview will be a preview of the show before its first official air date in America.

Larry Lowe and Angelia Joiner on The Joiner Report, Friday, Feb 12, 9-10 p.m. (CST) on the UFO Paranormal Radio network, http://ufoparanormalradio.homestead.com/Main_Page_version_2.html.
