MUFON

What a success!  This was the 5th year that Phoenix MUFON has sponsored the MUFON 2022 Field Investigator Boot Camp, held November 5/6/7 in Mesa, AZ. 28 participants came from all over the U.S., and Canada, to learn the methods of becoming a trained, certified UFO Field Investigator. The event started with a Meet-n-Greet dinner on Friday evening, with a beautiful mild evening, just steps from the door of the event’s host hotel.  It was a relaxing and friendly way for the group to get to know one another in preparation for the weekend ahead. Saturday morning started promptly at...

Astronomer Frank Drake, born in 1930, has died this week. Mr. Drake is most famous for his equation that mathematically tried to estimate the possible number of intelligent civilizations in our galaxy. Mr. Drake is also a founder of SETI (The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence). His first experiment in the 1960s looking for ET Signals was called Project Ozma. It did not succeed in finding any intelligent signals but the branch of science to do so was formed! Mr. Drake had a long and distinguished career with Cornell University, the University of California at Santa Cruz and the Arecibo Radio...

Back in the days when M.U.F.O.N. stood for Midwest UFO Network, John Schuessler was there. In 1969, along with Walt Andrus, John, an aerospace engineer with an interest in Unidentified Flying Objects, formed what is now the biggest and best UFO Organization in the world – The Mutual UFO Network! Last week, Mr. Schuessler, our International Director Emeritus, called it a day and asked Dave MacDonald, our Executive Director, to remove him from our active roles after 53 years of dedicated service using the scientific method to unravel the UFO mystery. John has written innumerable scientifically based articles for the MUFON...

NASA came under the spotlight this week when their Perseverance Rover, while pounding the sands of Mars, photographed what appeared to be a ball of string in its path. Some accounts called it a spaghetti like substance. It looked a bit like tumbleweed too! So what was it? News media outlets like CNN endorsed NASA’s “most likely” explanation that it was string left over from the Rover’s landing vehicle. Just to refresh your memory, several weeks ago, the Perseverance Rover snapped a photo of what appeared to be a piece of aluminum foil lodged between two rocks. NASA, at that...
