Chase Lake National Wildlife Refuge north of Medina, North Dakota, has been the home of nearly 30,000 American White Pelicans for the past two years. Then 29,000 disappeared in 2004. After the return of many of the adults in 2005, now at least 8,000 white pelican chicks have mysteriously died.

July 14, 2005  Medina and Bismarck, North Dakota – A year ago, beginning on May 24, 2004, the Bismarck, North Dakota office of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service began hearing that American White Pelicans were disappearing from the Chase Lake National Wildlife Refuge north of Medina, North Dakota. Over four days the end of May 2004, the estimated number of large water birds dropped from 27,000 down to 80 at two of three nesting sites. The third nesting site of pelicans remained normal with 2,400 birds – adding to the mystery about why? – and how? – could 27,000 pelicans disappear without a trace? By June 17, 2004, another 2,000 American White Pelican adults disappeared. The 29,000 missing pelicans left their eggs and chicks behind. The disappearance remained a mystery until this summer when about 18,000 adults returned to Chase Lake for nesting.Click for report.

Part 1: The UFO Crash/Retrieval Syndrome: Status Report II – New Sources, New Data

 "I have seen the bodies. ...By human standards, the heads were disproportionately large with skin that looked brown under the hangar lights above."

- Former U. S. Naval Intelligence Officer

To be more computer-friendly, the reprint has been divided into parts. Here begins Part 1 of Status Report II, written in January 1980. The series of status reports, I through VII, were written by Leonard H. Stringfield from 1978 to 1994. Previous Status Report III begins at Earthfiles. Leonard Stringfield died on December 18, 1994. For all the previous status reports, see Earthfiles Archives.

First Data from Deep Impact Crash Into Comet Tempel I

This image shows the view from Deep Impact's flyby spacecraft as it turned back to look at comet Tempel 1. Fifty minutes earlier, the spacecraft's probe had been run over by the comet. That collision kicked up plumes of ejected material, seen here streaming away from the back side of the comet. This image was taken by the flyby craft's high-resolution camera.

July 10, 2005  Austin, Texas - Astronomer Anita Cochran has been working at the University of Texas since 1982. Now she is a senior research scientist and Assistant Director of the McDonald Observatory in Austin. She and several hundred scientists around the world are helping to analyze the spectral data from the Deep Impact crash with Comet Tempel I on July 3 to 4, 2005. That night, Dr. Cochran was in Hawaii at the Kech I telescope, the largest in the world, watching to see if a light flare at the moment the impactor hit the very dim magnitude 11 comet could be seen.

Part 15: UFO Crash/Retrievals: Status Report III – Amassing The Evidence

"Former U. S. Air Force Sergeant described Top Secret report on a UFO landing and encounter with humanoids during which Colonel was paralyzed and weapons were 'jammed.'"

- U. S. Air Force General  Return to

Part 1

To be more computer-friendly, the reprint has been divided into parts. Here begins Part 15 of Status Report III, written in June 1982. The series of status reports, I through VII, were written by Leonard H. Stringfield from 1978 to 1994. Previous Status Report IV begins at Earthfiles 021205. Leonard Stringfield died on December 18, 1994.

Leonard H. Stringfield:

"Epilogue: The Credentials Factor: Narrowing the Gap

On this day, June 1, 1982, as I write the Epilogue for this Status Report III, I must retrogress to say that at times when new, substantive information emerged, I felt I was on the brink of breakthrough. But deep inside, I knew that to even hint of a breakthrough in this status report - no matter how great the source or the testimony - would be too brash of an assumption. Testimony is subject to human interpretive error, to say the least, and testimony alone is not proof. Rest assured, however, I do have my opinions on the subject of UFO Crash/Retrievals and gut feelings about each of my sources. But to borrow a page from scientific rationale, I offer no conclusion.

Part 1: Eyewitness Description of Cattle Mutilated by Reptoids

"The cow was limp on its side with all four legs touching. And they (alien beings) proceeded to take these machines and go into different areas of the body and cut them and extract the blood out for food."

- Roger Vail, Musician

July 4, 2005  Mid-West - Roger Vail was born in the mid-West in 1944 and joined the U. S. Navy in 1963. He went through electronic technician school and intended to have a military career. But an injury in his first military year meant an early honorable discharge in 1964. After that, he went to Western Illinois University to work on a physics major, but switched to a Mass Communications major. Then, music and travel pulled him away before he completed his undergraduate degree. Roger spent the next 21 years playing guitar and bass. Finally, in 1985, he finished his B.A. with an emphasis on radio and TV production.

U. K. Bicyclist Reports Mysterious, Low Hovering Objects Bending Wheat

“…I am certain that there is some other form of intelligence, either on this planet or visiting the crops from somewhere else. I have no doubt about that after seeing what I saw.”

– Mike Booth, Marlborough, U. K. Resident

Marlborough is northeast of Lockeridge in Wiltshire County, England.

July 1, 2005  Lockeridge, Wiltshire, England – Mike Booth has spent much of his forty-five years designing for race cars and planes. He received his British National Diploma in Art from Buckinghamshire’s Amersham School of Art and Design in 1979. In his spare time, he also writes songs and tries every other night to ride his mountain bike from his home near Marlborough out the road from Lockeridge, past Boreham Down and the West Woods on to Alton Barnes. The road goes right through the heart of Wiltshire’s crop circle country, but Mike had never seen anything especially unusual until 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 21, 2005, as he was riding next to Boreham Down.Click for report.

 June 27, 2005  Washington, D. C. – The U. S. Department of Agriculture confirmed on June 25, 2005, that the second U. S. cow in 18 months has tested positive for bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or BSE, also known as Mad Cow disease. The first case of Mad Cow found in the U.S. was in December 2003 in a Washington state dairy cow that had been imported from Canada.This 2005 infected cow was at least 8 years-old and rumors in the cattle industry are that the animal was born and raised in Texas. If so, this would be the first confirmation that the always fatal BSE prion disease that destroys brains and nervous systems is in some American cattle and not solely linked to imported animals, as once previously thought.
