Page 131 2 Progress on Staff Recruitment • Between June 1-30, 2009 in response to job advertisements in multiple on­ line locations, BAASS received a total of 461 resumes. • The first level of screening (removal of applications on the basis of too frequent job changes, those obviously inexperienced to work at BAASS, non-US citizens etc) was conducted on all resumes. • Between three and four dozen phone and face-to-face interviews were conducted during the month ofJune. • As a result of intensive interviewing and the transfer of some engineers from Bigelow Aerospace to BAASS, as of June 30, 2009 BAASS has forty five full time employees and six part time employees in addition to the administrator (see table on page 3 below). Fulltime BAASS employees now include senior investigative personnel (backgrounds in law enforcement and AFOSI), engineers (specializing in electrical, software and astronautics), scientists (with expertise in physics and biology) as well as support personnel and security guards. 3 BAASS Employees AAP Person 4 Administrator AAP Person 7 Deputy Administrator Significant Part-time Fulltime BAASS Employees BAASS Employees AAP Person 8 Senior Analyst level V i:..AP Person 52 Senior Engineer level Ill AAP Person 9 Lead Program Manager AAP Person 53 Executive Assistant RTB AAP Person 10 Lead Program Manager AAP Person 54 Corporate Attorney AAP Person 11 Senior Project Manager AAP Person 55 Accountant AAP Person 12 Senior Project Manager AAP Person 56 Subject Matter Expert IV AAP Person 13 Senior Project Manager AAP Person 14 Mission Analyst AAP Person 15 Mission Analyst AAP Person 16 Mission Analyst AAP Person 17 Mission Analyst AAP Person 18 Lead Scientist level V AAP Person 19 Lead Scientist level V AAP Person 20 Engineer Specialist AAP Person 21 Lead Engineer AAP Person 22 Engineer Specialist AAP Person 23 Lead Engineer AAP Person 24 Lead Scientist level IV AAP Person 25 Subject Matter Expert I AAP Person 26 Subject Matter Expert I AAP Person 27 Subject Matter Expert I AAP Person 29 Subject Matter Expert I AAP Person 30 Mission Analyst AAP Person 31 Mission Analyst AAP Person 32 Mission Analyst AAP Person 33 Subject Matter Expert I AAP Person 34 Mission Analyst AAP Person 35 Mission Analyst AAP Person 36 Mission Analyst AAP Person 110 Mission Analyst AAP Person 38 Mission Analyst AAP Person 39 Mission Analyst AAP Person 40 Mission Analyst AAP Person 41 Mission Analyst 4 AAP Person 42 Executive Secretary AAP Person 43 Receptionist AAP Person 44 Director of security IAAP Person 45 Security Officer AAP Person 46 Security Officer AAP Person 47 Security Officer AAP Person 48 !Security Officer AAP Person 49 Security Officer AAP Person 50 Security Officer AAP Person 51 Security Officer Utah Ranch Security Officers We are optimistic that in the next month we can hire the first year's full complement of staff (approximately 50-60 personnel to begin the 2nd year) that will make BAAS$ the most maximally productive organization in this field. However, this will give BAAS$ a foundational base that will partially cover the investigative and analytical needs within the United States. s Progress on New BAASS Facilities During the month of Jun~AAP Person 4 jthe BAASS administrator, made substantial progress on two major real estate projects in line with anticipated future BAASS needs. (1) Underground Vault: The need for a highly secure underground vault operated by BAASS became apparent in line with a BAASS priority to pursue and acquire recovered hardware and biological samples from the corporate world and/or from private individuals and groups located elsewhere, including in Brazil. It was recognized by the BAASS administrator that there was no highly secure facility at BAASS to store exotic material or tissue that the organization could obtain. Accordingly, the BAASS administrator designed an underground facility to be located in North Las Vegas at the Bigelow Aerospace facility. The chosen location is exceptionally well protected by perimeter fencing and razor wire, surveillance cameras and 24 hour armed guards who are retired or current military. Further, the BAASS administrator during the month of June designed and created architectural plans for a 5000 sq.ft underground vault with 3 foot thick walls, ceiling and floor with a concrete access tunnel leading to multiple security doors, at least one of which comprises a thick vault steel door. The entire facility will be located underground at the Bigelow Aerospace facility with over 15-20 feet of earth above the structure. Any surface structures protruding from the ground will be extensively camouflaged. It is anticipated that subject to building permits, the new underground facility will be capable of being occupied by late 2009 or early 2010. More details on this project will be reported in the June 2009 BAASS monthly report. (2) New Buildings Purchased for BAASS: Because of the extremely rapid pace of BAASS personnel expansion (see previous section), the 6 organization is close to outgrowing the current BAASS facility. Accordingly, the BAASS administrator began planning for this eventuality late last year (2008) and in the past several months has personally visited and inspected close to fifty separate buildings for sale located in different areas of the Las Vegas Valley with a view to purchasing a new facility for the rapidly expanding organization. This lengthy, time consuming process culminated in the purchase of five new office buildings which will be customized for BAASS personnel use. As of June 31, 2009 these five buildings are now in escrow. It is intended that the buildings will include a 5000 sq ft laboratory and secure physical evidence storage facility and a second building will contain a secure conference room (SCIF) and adjacent office space for multiple personnel. These new buildings should be capable o'f being occupied by BAASS personnel by the end of 2009. 7 Progress by Earthtech on Production of 24-30 Position Papers on Physics of Advanced Aerospace Vehicles On December 31, 2008 BAASS awarded a contract to Earthtech lnternationallAAPPerson 57 Ito deliver 24-30 position papers that will be based on expanding and focusing on strategically important sub-projects from the 12 position papers previously delivered by the subcontractor on twelve (12) technical areas: 1.)

BAASS has multiple laboratories that are ready to conduct forensic, photographic, metallurgic, chemical, isotope, biological, chemical analysis of any specimens that BAASS receives from MUFON. BAASS has already hired a team of high quality top investigators with extensive intelligence and law enforcement investigative experience. These investigators are currently located in Las Vegas and are trained to deploy as "special forces" rapid reaction investigative teams that are deployable anywhere in the United States if BAAS$ determines that high value UAP cases warrant additional investigations. However this investigative group is still too small to cover the geographic area needed in both the United States and overseas. Throughout the months of March through June, it became apparent that the number of cases that MUFON was providing BAASS was significantly lower than first agreed at the beginning of the purchase agreement contract. At the same time, it became apparent that MUFON was only spending about 50% of h ir II tted stipend per month. Accordingly, at the end of June 2009IAAP I AAP 1Persoo 4 . Person 4 proposed to reduce MUFON's monthly stipend by 50% while encouraging t e organization to begin to use the money that remained unspent to make up the difference. BAAS$ proposed, as per the purchase agreement, that there would be a further review of MUFON's performance by the end of October 2009. AAP Person 105 penned the following reply addressed to AAP Person 4 on June 29, 2009. The following is the text of the letter from MUFON to BAASS 11 MIJF©N ~ -•UFONo- Mutual UFO Network, Inc. I'843( a)(2) June 29, 2009 BAASS IAAP Person 4 Dea~AAP Person 4 We are in receipt of your letter dated June 25, 2009 regarding the Purchase Agreement Contract and suggested changes. Let me begin by saying that we at MUFON are very pleased with the positive changes we have been able to implement as a result of our agreement. More importantly because of the dedication of our two organizations we now, for the first time, have a defined and repeatable process for quickly analyzing new cases, triaging them to determine their level of importance, and quickly responding to key cases within hours of being neported. This is a HUGE step forward for Ufology 12 and would not have happened without BAASS and MUFON working together towards a common goal of rapid response. In regards to your suggestion to move funding to a mid-term level, we certainly understand your rationale for wanting to do so. Please understand that as we aggressively pursue other avenues of finding, and attracting, new cases that our support and deployment costs will rise accordingly. Four months is a very short timeframe to measure incident and expense results considering we were at ground zero just four months ago. MUFON accepts the reduction in payments for the next four months with supplemental monies to come from the initial funds allocated from February to June 2009. We hope that BAASS can reevaluate our monthly allocation in October 2009 based on the expected increase in expenses not only resulting from recent changes to deployment criteria but also to increased MUFON public exposure. Again, we are pleased to be providing services to BAASS and working together to solve the UFO mystery. Our goal at MUFON is to make this a mutually beneficial relationship for many years to come. Sincerely, AAP Person 105 13 lllllllrIIIIINII 11,111EIINIIITIIIEI• June 25, 2009 AAP Person Dear 105 This letter is to address the status of the MUFON Purchase Agreement contract that was executed between BAASS and MUFON in February 2009. Firstly, we are pleased to see that MUFON is moving ahead with plans to execute contracts with TV and other media as a means of raising Its national profile. With regard to BAASS's viewpoint on MUFON's performance to date, Section 7.0 of the purchase agreement defines three alternative scenarios based on this June performance review: 1.1 Immediate termination effective June 30, 2009, of the contract for Seller's failure to provide the quality and quantity of information to the satisfaction of Buyer. 1.2 Continuation ofthe Agreement under the same terms and conditions as agreed. 1.3 Continuation ofthe Agreement with a merit-based increase in price for the Product. There are two aspects that have emerged from MUFON's monthly reports that have caused BAASS significant concern. They are: (1) We note that for the month of February/March, MUFON spent $11,014.37 out of $74,666.67 allocated; in April, MUFON spent $23,803.95 out of $56,000 allocated; and in May, MUFON spent $23,812.00 out of $51,000 allocated. Therefore, it appears that BAASS is sending excessive sums to MUFON on a monthly basis. (2) We feel that MUFON's productivity does not match the monthly contract award. As of mid-to late June, BAASS has not received adequate number of cases to justify spending $51,000 per month, nor has MUFON ramped up its hiring rate to accommodate the monthly $51,000 stipend as evidenced by the fact that the monthly expenditures by 11843(a)(2) MUFON from April and May 2009 have reached a plateau at $23,803.95 and $23,812.00 respectively. For these reasons, we propose a Phase II funding level between July 1 and October 31, 2009 of $25,500 per month. This sum, when added to the unspent MU FON allocations (estimated at approximately $120,000 for February/March, April and May 2009} should be more than sufficient to almost double MUFON's present horsepower. Regardless of the above, we believe that the accumulation of large sums of unspent money was not in the spirit of the BAASS-MUFON purchase agreement. It may be argued that MUFON has taken some time to ramp up to the present levels and hence could not spend the allocated money. In response we propose that from July 1­ October 31, if MU FON combines the monthly stipend ($25,500) with a monthly portion of the unspent BAASS money, then a net monthly sum of approximately $55,000 is available for MUFON's operations. We believe that this mechanism will be adequate for MUFON to expand to a higher level of performance between July 1 and October 31, 2009. By October 27, 2009, we will have another opportunity to examine the monthly contract award In light of MUFON's progress in expanding its organizational productivity. Sincerely AAP Person 4 Administrator, BAASS 11843(a)(2) SUMMARY AND INVESTIGATIVE REPORTS FROM MUFON FOR MAY and JUNE 2009 As requested, the following cases are investigative summaries from MUFON of cases for which they deployed SIP team members during May and June 2009.

IAAP Person 59 MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) STAR Team Coordinator I Manager I PPerson59 I INVESTIGATOR REPORT: 04/07/09 ***** ***** case #1,6421 After brief introductions, I asked ***** and her son to describe what they saw. They drew sketches describing the size and shape of the craft.***** and ***** chose to draw their description using the same sheet of paper. ***** also showed me the picture she had taken of the craft with her 14 "Razzor" cell phone. 10:30 am I followed ***** and ***** out to the sight of the encounter. We drove from Pittsburg, Kansas to Scammon where they live, and the sighting occurred. Scammon is about 10 miles down Hwy 160. We decided that the best way to re-enact the night of the sighting was for me to enter their vehicle sitting in the front seat and have ***** drive, taking the same route as that night. ***** sat in the back seat. While I video taped, ***** drove as they both described the craft, where they saw it, and it's placement in the sky and over the trees. They described the craft as being as large as a small house hovering over the tree tops about 200 feet in the air. I asked them to describe the size by their arm at length showing my fist as a size comparison, and they said bigger. I spread my fingers, and they said bigger, more the size of both of my hands side by side. The color was an orange light undefined. ***** said it looked like the center was dark, and the light was coming from a tube light surrounding the craft. ***** didn't see that from her angle, but saw one large round/oval odd shape indescribable light with what lo,oked like an army net attached above it. It made no sound, had no smell, they followed the craft with their car and there was no electromagnetic effects. There were dogs barking, but they claimed that there are a lot of dogs in the area and that they bark all the time. I asked them what made them notice the object? They were out at 1 :23 in the morning looking for *****'s missing 14 year old son. He ended up being at the *****'s residence who is a neighbor down the street a couple of blocks away. The boys were in the basement working on a car. Both boys were thought to be missing. What made ***** look in the direction they did was the train. A Burlington Northern freight train passes through the edge of town quite frequently. There are 3 intersections so as it passes them, the train blows its whistle in 3 separate bursts. That night there was one long whistle burst. They though the kids might be in trouble on the tracks so with hearts beating fast they headed that way. That is when they spotted the large craft hovering at the end of the street. As they drove towards it, the craft moved about 1 mile an hour to the left, and as they approached closer, it shot off / backwards out of sight. They described the craft as being as big as a small house, hovering 200 feet over the tree tops, and only about 4 to 5 blocks away. ***** was afraid that her missing son may be aboard the craft because he wasn't answering his 15 ~ phone. They decided to drive home and retrieve *****'s phone to see if the younger son would answer a call from his older brother. When ***** came out ofthe house, he noticed that the craft was back. This time he said "mom let's chase it!" They raced towards it and found it at the end of the street. They jere at 1a43(a)(2) and it was 5 blocks down dead center at the end of 1843(a}(?.L .. As they sow y moved forward, it moved slowly to the left behind 1 some trees. They drove faster to get a better look and it was gone. ***** and ***** pointed out the houses where the possible other witnesses lived. The first was***** •••••, the father of the other missing boy. They didn't think he saw anything but showed me his house which had a green van parked in front. The other witness was•••••••••• Sr., grandfather of the other missing boy. •••••***** Sr. had claimed to have seen a Chinese lantern in the distance, float by his window while he was in bed. The elder •••••s live atl1843(aH2) I 11 :00-11 :30 am I re-entered my jeep and followed the witnesses to a small neighborhood park where we did an on-camera interview. 12:00 pm ••••• had to get back to work, so she left her son with me. I promised to deliver him safely back to her at her work place when we were done. This was totally her idea, and made me a little nervous. ••••• was to take me to the field where they thought the craft had hovered over. This was the same field where a craft had been seen on the ground by ••••• 3 months before. The teen and I tried several entry access points but were blocked first by a no trespassing s,ign, and further down by a creek. There was access from the road between cut trees, but not without permission which I would get tomorrow. 12:30 pm I decided it was time to take the teen back to his mother's place of employment. 1:30 pm As I walked ••••• in, I was met by •••••••••••••, a witness of prior area and Joplin Missouri sightings. I videotapedI ~)43(a) Idescription of past events and expenences. 2:25 pm I thanked •••••, •••••, an 1843 and then I left. (a)(2) 16 2:30 pm I decided to visit the Crawford County Sheriffs department where I was told the dispatched officer on scene was from. 3:30 pm I left the sheriffs department to head for the actual Sheriffs Department where the dispatch came from, Cherokee county. There was some confusion by the locals as to what Sheriff Department had jurisdiction over the town of Scammon. 4:30 pm I arrived at the Cherokee Co. sheriff's department. I had to ring in for access, explaining to the dispatcher that I was there to check on information concerning a dispatched officer to Scammon on April 4th or 5th at 1 :00 - 2:00 am. I was given entry and asked to wait at the window in plain view of the dispatcher. 5:00 pm I met with and spoke to a retired county sheriff *********who lived in Scammon. He didn't hear or see anything either night. I received the following info from him: ► No nearby military bases ► An army ammo plant is located in Parsons 10-15 miles away. ► HM Plant formally Slurry, is in the area. During 9/11 , there were military soldiers and police surrounding its perimeter guarding it. There was 11 million lbs of high grade explosives stored there; which was rocket fuel. It has since been renamed HM Plant and downgraded in size of inventory. ► Cherokee County pays no oil or gas taxes. ► The area has the largest coal shovel in existence standing 760 ft high. ► The train traveling through Scammon was a Burlington/NorthernlSanta ► Heart of the Heartland Railroad Museum is nearby. ► This area is the home of Deep Shaft Whiskey. 5:50 PM: I was finally able to speak to the Police dispatcher ********. She wasn't clear about whether or not a police officer was dispatched to Scammon that night. I next spoke to Sheriff **********who first told me that it was fireworks seen that night, and when I said "fireworks", he said well actually it was a guy who set off 3 Chinese 17 lanterns. I asked the sheriff the name of the individual who told him it was Chinese lanterns and the name of the person that had set them off. Sheriff *******told me he would get those names for me later. I also asked the sheriff the name of the officer that was dispatched that night and he said it was Deputy *******. Then, the Sheriff left. April 8, 2009 9:00 AM: I arrived back in Scammon to take some still shots, interview area witnesses, and get a GPS rea~1f the suspected landin /hoverin site. 1843(al._~~L.... 9:4S.-AM: I-visited-the home-of *********located at 1843(a)(2) ...,...,.....,.....-.,---...,...,........ across the street from the schoo and adjacent to the field described by ***** as where the craft had landed. I was hoping for access to the field for soil samples, a quick sweep with my metal detector and a walk through 1s43(a)(2) with rv GT:rer counter. The brother 0~ ,.....--, greet<,~t the -- - ­ 1843(a)(~l.. . door · · and lhis wife ****were both at work and the brotherL_Jwas 1s43(a)(2) from out of town. ****had arrived Sunday night April 5th and not seen anything unusual. I asked for his brother's phone number but *****claimed that he didn't know it. I knew I could find it later so I thanked him and left. 10:00 AM: I drove through town trying to find other witnesses on my list who might be home, but had no luck. 10:30 AM: I decided that it was time to leave Scammon. I had about a 325 mile trip and I could finish my research on-line or by phone. 04/23/09: To date, no new information has been obtained. I called Burlington/Northern and made inquiries about April 5th from 1 :00 to 1 :30 am and the engineers pattern of whistle blasts, but was told that whistle blasts vary. After several requests for the police report on April 5th, I still have not received an answer. Nor, has the Sheriff provided me with the name of the person who set off Chinese Lanterns or the name of the person reporting this action. I have also made several attempts to call the *******and Officer *******but have had no answer. I don't believe that the *****s saw Chinese Lanterns. What they saw they described as being as large as a small house. They viewed this from 4 to 5 street blocks away hovering at times about 200 ft above the tree tops. They watched this object leave at a high rate of speed, and then return, finially disappearing behind trees and out of sight. Conclusion: UAV unknown I will add any new information as it becomes available. 18 IAAP Person 109 CONTACTS: 1. Officer ********* 2. Train engineer of Burlington/Northern 3.

IAAP Person 59 I MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) STAR Team Coordinator I Manager IAAP Person 59 I 1843 WITNESS NARRITIVE: (Witness: <a>(2> "*****" *****) i left my house in ola arkansas, at approx. 520 am to pay a 111 at danville at the drop off box, internet bill. i took i believe it is hwy 27, you can look on the map , it may be hwy 28, but as i got on the long quiet hwy that seems to take forever to get to dardanelle, long boring road, i noticed a star in the sky that had a tail attached, it seemed to be way out in the universe, a few minutes later , i saw the same star alot closer up to the upper left of my drivers side window, and it appeared to be alot closer, ... as in hovering over the nebo mountain. i thought oh its the radio tower but still felt on edge and watched as it moved within a 100 feet of me and i could see florescent lights 3 , on each side of a triangular figure. i kept thinking i am close to nebo mountain that has to be their lights, but the lights moved closer, i became really scared ... rolled up my windows, ran off the road twice trying to get a good look and i saw the same rotating lights 3 on each side of a triangle. my car started a constant vibrating sound (sound like a flat tire)i started to call 911 and my phone was dead, it was fully charged . then all of a sudden there was a flash, like a light bulb had totally illuminated the road and my vehicle. and then the drive home was non-eventful, my car was driving sound and secure and as i drove futher i was nowhere near mt, nebo.although i watched my vehicles clock the entire time , there was no missing time in the event.I what also i would like to add is that this is the second encounter of ufo activity i hve encountered, and 3 other people in 3 different places can back me up, because in or around 2003 or sometime in that area, 3 different people have seen what i have seen in three different places at the same time. also we have a nuclear plant in london arkansas, it is not far from us, we are in the evacuation route area ifthis helps any.also when i got to work i checked my tires and all were fully inflated, no signs of a flat. my phone did not work the rest of the day , i had to fully recharge when i got home, i didnt think it was gonna work for a while, took alot of charging. 20 Discussion with Dispatcher: late this afternoon uncovered the following: At 5:20 am witness was on way to work Apr. 20-09 . The, witness is a Nurse. Witness was driving on highway encountered large Triangular Shaped craft - proximity within 100 feet at closest point. Witness said triangular vehicle was size of a B-1 bomber (her husband was in US Air force and she has been to many air shows) Heard loud rumbling sound, describes as like when you get a flat tire. (were no flat tires on vehicle after event) As vehicle was directly over her car, there was a Bright flash of light that illuminated road surrounding her vehicle and lit up inside of car, the ran car off the road twice. Event Blew out her cell phone - battery dead (was fully charged before incident) would not hold charge after for a long time. She tried to call for help without success Witness experienced physical effects upon arriving at work. Co-workers indicated she looked very ill; she tried to speak and could not talk (no voice - hoarseness) for a while and the co-workers voices were very loud (so loud sound reverberated in her head) caused pain. Interim Re Ort-Arkansas, Case No. 16644 -IAAP Person 103 Witnes 1843(a)(2) ***** Our plane on the way out was cancelled due to an auto pilot failure. We were able to get a later flight out through Atlanta. Our flight from Atlanta was also delayed so that we arrived in Little Rock late and by the time we drove to Dardanelle it was 6:00 p.m .. we met with: State Coordinator, 1843(a)(2) Since it was due to rain on Monday, we felt it best to go immediately to the site. ***** had driven the road again in the morning to determine just where she was when this happened and she was able to go right to the spot ~; Pe~~on . where she saw the flash. IImarked the fence with duct tape at the site so we could go right b~it. As we drove out, we noticed power 21 lines which sometimes crossed over the road. ***** had not even noticed them. There is also a power plant nearby, Arkansas Nuclear On AAP Person 59 has instructed us to contact the security department there.) .... ta!kedto 1~~~(~)(2) ***** about signing the media release. ***** does not want her name used or her image. We may use her voice and refer to her as 1843(a)(2l because no one here calls her that. The first thing ***** saw looked like a distant star but what drew her attention to it was that there was a straight line in back of it. It got larger as she watched it. She also started thinking that her right rear tire was getting a flat because she heard a noise but she didn't really feel anything different. The car wasn't swaying. It seemed to her like dashboard wasn't lit up as it should have been. Her headlights weren't illuminating like they should have either. She got concerned for her safety and rolled up her windows. She tried to call 911 but her phone wouldn't work. She had used it the night before and that morning and believed it to be fully charged. As the craft got even closer, all of a sudden she could see three silverish, metallic blue rotating lights on each side of two sides. She started running off onto the side of the road trying to watch it. She watched the lights for approximately 20 minutes. At first she thought the light was from coming from Mt. Nebo. In the early morning light, she could see the line of the hill but the object was lower than that. The body of the craft. was black, dark. There were 3 lights on each side of two sides on the bottom of the craft. She couldn't see anything on the back side but there is no doubt in her mind that the craft was triangular. When she held her hand out in front of her, the size of the object was larger than a baseball. The craft appeared to be tilted. She was then absolutely stunned by a flash...it reminded her of a camera flash and illuminated everything below it. ... going several feet in front of her car. She wondered to herself if she was having her picture taken and if they could read her thoughts. The craft was hovering but made no noise. After the flash, she looked back and the craft was gone. Her tires are just as they were with no apparent damage. At the time, ***** was fearful of being stranded and alone on a deserted road that she's not familiar with. Later, she felt she was in shock. She walked into work and one of the girls came up to her and said what's wrong with you? The night nurse's voice was killing her ears. She went to say good morning and couldn't; her throat felt like it was choked up from the 22 ~ experience (rather than something that was done to her.). She went out and had a cigarette. She felt very irritable....with raw nerves. She managed to get through the day and forgot about it until noon. When she got home from work, she started researching on the internet. She didn't tell her son until a couple of days later. It was ~> 43(a) who encouraged her to file a report. We video taped ***** talking about the event at the site. We then all returned to Russellville to go to dinner. After dinner, we went out to look at *****'s 2004 Santa Fe compact SUV. ***** had felt that the problem that she was experiencing was on the right hand side but a compass showed about an 80 degree change in direction when the compass was brought close to the back left panel. She also gave us her phone to look at. ***** initially told us that she was off of work on Monday. At the end of Sunday night, however, she told us that she had to work on Monda(c and would be off on Tuesday. She agreed to call us after work. 1 - also ... 18~~(a)(2l had to work on Monday but ***** was available and wanted to join us. On Monday, we went back out to the site and approached the farmhouje at the sitel1843(a)<2l _No one answered the door but there was a sign saying that if no one answered to look for the, in the barn. We went into the backyard where we metD . 1843(a)(2l 43 2 11s (aH l )and her elderly father,********. ***** was extremely friendly and seemed quite interested in hearing about the event. She had left home on April 19th, the day before the event and hadn't seen anything. She added, however, that the pasture in back of her home (close to where we believe the flash went off) was a Cherokee Indian campground many, many years ago and that some strange things have happened there. Her daughter has taken pictures on the property which, when developed, show orbs. ***** believes that her daughter also saw orbs with her own eyes. She will talk to her and see what information she can get for us. ***** herself is part Cherokee. She also added that there was a medicine man years ago in Chickalah (pronounced chick key la)-which is not far away. 1843 2 ***** talked with *****'s father,l (a)( > I He said that they have quite a few deer every day in the pasture. Once or twice a week they will all of a sudden bolt for cover in the trees and then will quickly return to where they 23 were and continue grazing.

In one of the pictures, he zoomed in and believes he captured the number on the tower. He checked the ground radiation level here and found it to be lower than normal. We also drove along the road, before and after the mark on the fence, taking video as we went. Arkansas Nuclear One: We had been unable to get a telephone number for Arkansas Nuclear One so we drove there. We were met b a uard who contacted the security department by telephone 1843(a)(2) AAP Person r.:-:-7talked with ********, the Security Officer on Du·rty:-.---;..i;n;.,F"F.:":sa::!1::r-c-=e-:-:w:-::a:-::s=-' 103 inlhemiddle of something and couldn't make any inquiri,es at the time.

AAP Person We had lunch and then returned to our room wher~ downloaded •• 103 video and pictures to his computer, including *****'s. and ***** went 1843(a)(2) off to a local Hyundai dealer. They used a compass on e 2009 Santa Fee and found that there was a significant movement of the compass needle on the back left panel of this vehicle and some other areas of the car. The salesman said that the body has changed quite a bit since 2004, but we felt this brought our findings on the experiencer's vehicle into question. ***** an9;~; 3(a) llmet us back at the Best Western after work. We did another vI eo with ***** in the room. At the end she also talked just a bit about another sighting in 2003. At that time she saw three triangular shaped crafts (which flew in a triangular formation) about 1 :00 a.m. in the morning. She talked to two other people who weren't with her at the time but whom she believes may have seen the same craft at the same time. We've asked heir at least three times if we couldn't meet with one of her co­ workers and she continues to be resistant to this idea. 24 AAP Person 103 ***** drew a picture of the craft that she saw. I ---~Ia1sochecked -~~~**'s sinus cavity area with a magnet to see if she might have had an implant there but found nothing abnormal. ~; Per_~.?.~ + - -··· ldid look at the cell phone and it appears that the cell phone was functional however the battery's internal fuse was blown. This is not a common occurrence and is usually the result of a high voltage insult. Although***** was very friendly, she said it would be better to talk more in the morning. We will return there with***** and ***** tomorrow. We also hope to obtain more information from the Security Officer and perhaps obtain more documentation on the Indian presence in this area. Our conclusion at this point is that this was a real event. At this point ~; Person 1··· · lhas several thoughts regarding the cause of the flash. It could be that the craft got too close to the high voltage wires or it could have been extracting energy from the wires or unknown (awaiting report from Arkansas Nuclear One). The object is definitely unknown and does not appear to be a military craft. There is also the thought that the noise that ***** thought was a bad tire on her car could actually have been an extremely low resonant frequency emitted by the craft, which went away when the vehicle disappeared. 4/28/09 ***** arrived at the designated time of 8:30 a.m. We waited at the motel for***** until about 8:40 and then called her. ***** said that she wasn't coming ... her daughter had taken her car and she wouldn't be able to join us. It seemed quite unusual that she hadn't called us to tell us this earlier. ***** called her back and said he would be willing to pick her up. ***** agreed to this so ***** went to get her and we drove out to the site so that we wouldn't be too late. I talked to ***** about using her image and name. She did not want her name or image used because of her job. She did sign a release allowing us to use her voice and said that we could refer to the property as the *********property. ***** bought the property in 1994 (bringing it back into the family). At the time or shortly after she bought the property, she was asked if she really bought the property as the previous owner said that nothing would grow there and that their animals were sterile. She has not had any problems with growing things or raising her horses and cattle. 25 ***** did say that there have been some other strange events though. Most notably for her are the significant number of people who have gone off the road and hit her fence. There have also been two occasions when whole sections of her fence have been pulled up and moved. In 9/06, a large section of a fenc,e was just pulled out and laid down, That fence included railroad ties and solid oak boards. There were no storms or bad weather. Then towards the end of March of this year, she got up at 5:00 a.m. to leave the house early. There had been a storm and there was no electricity. As she left the house she saw that 40-50 feet of fence had been picked up and laid down. In this case, she noticed that the landscape timbers broke off under the ground. Her horses could not do this. She also mentioned that they do get static on the radio in this area. She does not get cell phone coverage in her house except in one of the rooms. Sometimes they will have a huge storm out in back and the front of the house will be totally still. They have experienced shocks underneath the high voltage lines even though the energy company claims that can't happen. *****'s e-mail address isl1843(a}(2) I Neighbors also report strange things. One of the neighbors reported (to *****) seeing a big black panther - even though there aren't supposed to be any panthers in this area. *****'s brother dropped in by chance while we were there even though ***** hadn't told him anything about the incident. He works at Arkansas Nuclear One in calibration and maintenance. He was not aware of any recent line disturbances but he believes that he will be able to obtain that information. What he did say was that he saw a dark helicopter flying very close to the plant within the last two weeks. He has never seen this before and said that they must have had approval for them to be flying that close. He will get back to us with whatever information he can obtain. The tape recorder was running when he came in and we didn't think to mention it to him until we were well into the conversation. He did not feel he could sign a media release because of his job. He also talked about getting shocked near the high voltage wires saying that he had been knocked down to his knees. We said good-bye to ***** and drove ***** home and checked out of our motel. In the meantime. ***** went on to talk to the deputy sheriff of l1843 2 (a}( ) ~he deputy sheriff was very interested in hearing about the event; he had not heard of any similar events in the area ~: P:r~.?.~......but.took *****'sand I- Icards to contact in the future in the event that 26 ------ th• I • W • t 1843(a) t h k t th H ·t any mg e se arises. e are going o as (2) o c ec ou e en age Room of the Dardanelle Public Library regar mg ndian activities in this area .. 3 The GPS location is 1843(a)( ) 1843(a)(3) In order to complete this report we would like to send a FOIA to both the power plant and the FAA.

STAR team lnvestigatorl~,P Person Iwas assigned as lead investigator. IAAP Person 59 MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) 27 STAR Team Coordinator/ Manager IAAP Peraon 59 I Investigator Report: I. Initial Meeting with Witnesses I set up an interview with********** and********** at 12:00 P.M. on Monday June 3, 2009. I called to let them know I was on the way. There was no answer so I left a message. I arrived at their apartment on time and knocked on the door. There was no answer there as well. Their neighbor was outside smoking a cigarette; so to make sure I had the correct apartment number I asked if***** and ***** were home. She said yes and that she had just spoken to them 15 minutes ago. She said that they were inside. I found that kind of odd. I decided to grab a quick lunch and come back. As soon as I left***** gave me a call. The first thing he said was "How long is this gonna take?" Second, he wanted to meet in a public place. There was an outside Bar and Grill across the street so that's were we decided to meet. When I met***** and ***** I could tell right away that they were highly paranoid. ***** refused to shake my hand and ***** kept his distance. ***** seemed distracted as he was cautiously watching everyone in the restaurant. I suspected that he was checking to see if there was any surveillance being carried out on them. Before I could conduct a proper investigation, ***** started his own integration. To make them feel as comfortable as possible I allowed him to fire away questions until he was satisfied. But that wasn't enough. ***** wrote down my MUFON ID number and TX DL information. It seemed as though he was going to do a full background check on me once he returned home.***** refused to do the interview with my digital voice recorder. He also did not want me to take any notes. Through much difficulty I was able to persuade him to let me take notes. Twice during the interview he checked to make sure my recorder was off. He also wanted to catch me in a lie, as he would ask specific questions to which he already knew the answers. I believe his main concern was to make sure that I was 28 not apart of some rouge intelligence organization.***** wanted to dominate the investigation. So for a little while I was the "punching bag". But after 15 minutes or so he became comfortable enough that I could conduct a proper interview. II. The Prairie Dogs Shortly before the incident while***** was driving he noticed a prairie dog sticking its head out of a small hole in the middle of the road. After a near miss, he decided to pull over and take few pictures of it. To his astonishment there were around 20 or 30 prairie dogs scatt,ered around both sides of the road. One thing I found interesting was during this part of the interview ***** would repeatedly argue with ***** about the size of the prairie dogs. While***** insisted to me that the animals were at the normal size of 12 to 15 inches,***** was absolutely certain that they were at least two or three times that size. While taking the pictures***** felt a weird sensation. He described it as "a feeling of being watched". His intuition was telling him to get in the car and leave. ***** also felt uneasy at this particular moment but when***** and he got back in the car they both felt better. They traveled some distance down the road but***** could not be sure of exactly how far. He estimated it could have been from 1 to 20 miles. It was somewhere between there where the close encounter occurred. Ill. Close Encounter In both descriptions their story stayed consistent with a few minor differences. Listed below are the short descriptions of the UFO event taken from the CMS: case #17097 and case# 16814: Below are the un-edited witness narratives submitted by***** ***** and ***** ***** in their respective case reports. [CASE 17097) A:**********<> On a recent trip with my partner heading towards Big Bend State Park , just past Marathon Texas. While driving around noon on a sunny day ,I noticed a shadow cross over the hood ofthe car. I thought it was probably a bird casting a shadow. Within seconds outofthe corner ofmy right eyes I saw something very bright heading towards the passenger side ofthe window at a rapid speed . I turned my head towards the passenger window and noticed that my companion was staring out at the same object. It looked like a extremely brightform with blowing arm like extensions faster than seconds it appeared to pass thru the car. The entire car interior was white , absolute white, I could not 29 see anything outside nor inside, although I was stillfacing the passenger. The stereo was on but I don't remember any sound either just glowing bright light. I have no idea how long the form took to pass completely thru the car. The car seemed to move back andforth with a jolt. The next thing that I remember is that my hands grabbed the steering wheel and I turned towards my partner and said " Why are we doing this . " We apparently were stillfacing each other, he has a terrified look on his face and shakes his head. I said "What happened ?" He said something hit the car. I reached out and stopped the swinging motion of the cross hangingfrom the rear veiw mirror . Realizing that the swinging motion supported thefact that the car had moved violently. I look in the rear view mirror to see if anything was behind the car, as ifI had hit something. There is nothing behind us .Both ofus turn and look out ofthe window trying to determine what had slammed into the automobile . Nothing around us behind us . I almost stopped but thought that whatever had hit the car might somehow somewhere be outside . I slowed down still visually searching for some kind ofanimal, object, thing but nothing seemed visible. Let me mention that it was around noon on a clear day. I had a CLEAR mind and was in a calm mood . I am a logical person and do not seek fiction in life . Factual and sensible. This is a occurrence that both my partner and myself witnessed at the exact same time [CASE 16814] B: ***** *****<>My Partner and I were driving to Big Bend National Park on vacation. We were about 50 miles south of Marathon, Tx on 385 heading south. It was a clear day, and we were both well rested and excited about our trip. I was gazing out the window at the mountains and the desert terrain. We had to be doing about 85 mph. I was in the passenger seat. I noticed out of the corner ofmy eye something extremely bright and moving fast toward the car. I saw what looked like a teardrop shaped head for lack ofbetter words with a thin line of what appeared to be a shiny band ofsilver wrapped around the center. I thought I saw what looked like a figure in a running man pose supporting the teardrop head, but I couldn't be absolute because the entire thing was engulfed in an indescribable white light, and was followed by light tracers. I don't know if the figure or thing moved through the vehicle but as quickly as i saw the thing the cab ofthe SUV was filled with the light. The vehicle moved in an upward circular motion but never left the ground kind. The light exited the vehicle on the driver side. I saw my partner who was driving look at me. He was pale white and disoriented, and he said to me "What are we doing?". I said, "I don't know." And 30 that was it. A Few things:#1. The radio was playing in the car quite loud, however when the light moved through the vehicle there was no noise, not even the sound ofthe car on the road. #2 When the light was in the vehicle, it was all you could see. No definition to anything, just white light. After it was over I did not see spots like one normally would after being exposed to UV lights. #3 My partner was driving the whole time, and never lost control. #4 It was not cloudy, it was broad daylight. #5 There were no other cars in sight.#6 There were no bumps or dips in the road to excuse the motion of the vehicle.#7 No dust devils in sight before or after.#8 The vehicle was not damaged in any manner.#9 We were completely sober.#10 We had the same experience with slight detail differences. #11 We were panicked right after it occurred, but shortly after we were very giddy.#12 We didn't discuss it much after the vacation was over, however when we got home, every time we discussed it together we would get extreme anxiety. When we discussed it separately with ourfriends we were okay. IV. Additional Details There were several details which I was able to obtain from the interview that were not mentioned in the CMS narratives. During the close encounter when the light engulfed the vehicle,***** described it as "being inside a mayonnaise jar but still able to breathe." He also noticed tiny "dot sized", metallic objects which appeared to be floating in the light. In *****'s description of the incident he said that" it was like having white paper surrounding him." They also said that once the encounter was over, they felt strange or "sort of out of it". As they continued to drive it was several hours before the full realization of what had happened occurred to them. According to the witnesses description it might indicate that they were an altered state of conscienceless as a result of the encounter. Sometimes referred to as the Oz phenomenon as described in UFO literature. The type of vehicle that was rented was a 2008 Black Nissan Rouge Mini SUV. It was rented from Hertz at one of the two Airports in Houston, Texas. I have been trying to obtain the receipt for the rental, but***** was unable to locate it as he has just recently moved. He suspects that it's in a box mixed in with other personal papers. When he finds it he will contact me. Due to the fact that they do not know exactly where the encounter occurred, there is no way to, obtain exact GPS coordinates of the site. Witness testimony indicates that***** and ***** had an unusual encounter. They appeared to be sincere and truthful in their testimony to this investigator, although no physical evidence was obtainable at this time. 31 END Report cM~ Case Report MUFON SIP Deployment Case# 17125 Case Type: Cat 3 lnvestigator:IAAP Person 112 I MUFON ID# 12509 843 3 GPS COORDINATES1....' - - (a-)(- )_______ COORDINATES ACCURACY: Exact location of witness at the time of the encounter which was within 100 feet south of the touchdown zone.

IAAP Person 59 MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) STAR Team Coordinator/ Manager IAAP Pecsoo 59 I Background Summary: • Witness was feeding horses 5/18/2009 Sunday about 12:30am. facing west 32 • Witness first noticed that lights were flying very low (going way to slow to be an airplane) and appeared to have just flown over Buffalo • Witness described object with blue, red, and white strobe lights {were large and in line with each other) with quite a bit of distance in between all three. The middle light was white and strobe very slowly, and the red/blue lights were on the ends. • The lights turned and were coming directly towards witness at a diagonal angle, the white light was covered with a round, concave, clear, glass-type covering which appeared to be very thick glass, and had some type of circular design on it. • The red and blue lights were different than the center light. They were tall and cylinder shaped, more like beacons, and they appeared to be sitting on top of something, and appeared to be covered by a different type of material, it looked more like some type of colored plastic, but transparent enough that the lights underneath could shine through. • Witness never saw a shape or even any type of structure behind the lights. • Within 10-15 seconds the lights had reached the dirt road in front of witness, and where crossing over the top of the power lines. It became apparent that the lights were slowing down as they got closer, and were now nearly at a complete stop. • Witness ran from the corral to pickup and jumped inside, which took about 15 seconds, (wearing flip flops) Once in the pickup truck witness was now facing north, and the lights had moved just behind the corral and had turned south, facing witness again. THE LIGHTS WERE SITTING COMPLETELY STILL, HOVERING, ABSOLUTELY NO MOVEMENT, other than the strobeing white light. The distance from witness and the lights at this point was estimated around 150'. • Witness thought it was a single craft, and judging by the distance of the lights from end to end, would have been anywhere from 40-50'. • For about another 5 seconds witness fumbled trying to find cell phone, and staring at the lights in disbelief. • Witness indicated this was the most terrifying moment she ever experienced. • Witness drove forward, and got to the gate leading out of the pasture, stopped looked over shoulder, the lights were still sitting in the same place, NOT MOVING. Witness couldn't go towards town without passing close by the lights, so turned south. (And laid the pedal down). 33 • About a 1/4 mile down the road, witness turned and looked over shoulder, and the lights were no where in sight. • Witness indicates behind the corral a large portion of the grass is laid down, and Witness took some pictures of that area. Witness Narrative I was feeding my horses last Sunday about 12:30am. I was standing facing west, all of the sudden some very low flying lights caught my eye. I first noticed that the lights were flying very low, and then that they were going way to slow to be an airplane. There was a blue, red, and white strobing light and they appeared to have just flown over Buffalo. The lights were large and inline with each other, with quite a bit of distance in between all three. The middle light was white and strobed very slowly, and the red/blue lights were on the ends. The l
