July 14, 2006: SCHUESSLER STEPS DOWN AS HEAD
OF MUFON
July 14, 2006: WITNESS OF ROSWELL WRECKAGE
SPEAKS OUT AT MUFON DENVER GATHERING

Dr. Jess Marcel, Jr. was the keynote speaker at the 37th annual MUFON Conference this weekend in Denver. Marcel, who is the son and name sake of Jesse Marcel who was stationed at Roswell and was dispatched to pick up some of the wreckage of a crashed UFO near Roswell on a desert ranch, said he saw pieces of the craft. He said that he remembers, as if it were yesterday, the night his father woke him and his mother up in the middle of the night to show them what he had brought home from this crash site and how, as an eleven-year-old, he knew that the debris was otherworldly. His father told him to take a good look, because he would never see anything like it again. The family was told to never speak of it, and he says that they never did. Nor did it occur to him to keep a piece of the debris. But, he said he only saw the items for 15 minutes before his father drove off with them in their 1942 Buick Special. And, of course he had been awakened from a sound sleep. He indicated he wished he been more alert. He said, from that moment on, that he knew that we had been visited from beings from other worlds, and that it didn't interfere with his Roman Catholic beliefs. During the question and answer session, he said that no one from the government had tried to silence anything he has said in recent years. That's about it, except he said he would be around tomorrow, as well. Marcel, Jr. is a medical doctor and Lt. Col. in the US Army Reserve, and he just finished a tour of duty in Iraq. He has written a book about Roswell and UFOs in general. July 15, 2006: Today's speakers and their subject matters ran the gamut. We began the day with Kenneth Storch, talking about his years in law enforcement vis a vis UFO and animal mutilation investigations. Kenneth provided a unique perspective of police involvement in the reporting and sometimes in the investigation of the results of a UFO visitation. Steve Reichmuth gave a very interesting presentation on his UFO "weather maps," which he began to build on a PC as an experiment in 2005, plotting sightings in the US (and some in Canada) manually and every day, even while recovering from a quadruple heart artery bypass. Soon he will be using a computer program that will allow for sightings to show up on the plotting map in real time. The map has been featured on the MUFON website home page for a number of months. Soon, you will be able to check out the UFO sightings action in real time, courtesy of Steve and MUFON, rather than from a prior month. Ronald Regehr gave an in-depth account of the 1976 Iranian Air Force Jet/UFO encounter incident. This is historically one of the most exhaustively and well documented UFO close encounter and military personnel sighting cases. Ruben Uriarte's talk, entitled, "Border Crossings of the Third Kind," showed the multitude and diversity of UFO sightings in Mexico. Ruben gave some of the reasons that he feels that Mexico is such a hotbed of UFO (or OVNI) activity, and he presented examples of spectacular video evidence of typical sightings in Mexico to the audience. Linda Moulton Howe spoke in great detail about UFO crash retrievals and the "U.S. Government Policy of Denial in the Interests of National Security." One of the cases sighted was newly investigated this year by Linda. As always, Linda delivered a report that showed her acknowledged expertise in investigative journalism. Marshall Vian Summers finished off the day's presentations with a thought-provoking presentation about the agenda of some ETs, and what we can and must do to prevent them from happening. Marshall explained that there is a "Collective" that has been in contact with our government and has made a deal that is not in our best interests. Independent ETs are warning us from a distance to not be fooled into being incorporated with this Collective that will plunder our planet for it's resources and use our people as a labor force, as they have done with many other civilizations. I didn't know about his message until tonight. His mild manner belies a very strong message, about which I will have to give more thought, but he hit a nerve.
