USS Kirk Naval ship encounters
submerged UFO
LONG BEACH — Quoting
GMV: “In the fall of 1991, I was operations and intelligence petty officer
on the USS Kirk FF1087, conducting drug interdiction along with
three other naval vessels. During our drug interdiction operations, we would
sail roughly 350-400 nautical miles off the west coast of South America. Our
four ships, within the task force, would sail roughly 150 nautical miles apart
from one another, in a straight line. Our air radar stream would just slightly
capture the land and the entire task forces’ air radar would interlink, creating
a large and connected air picture, ranging roughly 700-800 nautical miles long.
Our primary mission was to track, contact, intercept and take control of low
flying aircraft (drug carriers) coming out of Colombia, Panama and Guatemala. On
occasion we would intercept, board and seize sailing vessels, which we knew were
drug carriers. Similar to the movie Clear and Present Danger, we were in
direct communication with a DEA special agent on land, which would contact our
ships via a secured and encrypted communication device. The actual call sign of
our agent on land was ‘Iron Manvel.’ As an operations specialist, my primary
duties took place within CIC or the Combat Information Center. About 0200 hours,
on December 16th, I was on CIC Duty as things were quiet and slow, I made my way
up to the ship’s bridge. All lights on the exterior of the ship were out, and
the only lighting on the bridge was contained dark lighting from radar scopes
and navigational devices at the helm. time of night, would be in command of the
bridge and he was referred to as the officer of the deck (OOD). On this
particular evening, a junior officer, the Officer of the Deck, was a good friend
of mine, and he and I were having a discussion.
“All of a sudden and out of
nowhere, like a huge flash from a camera, emanating from the starboard bow sea
level upward was a huge flash of red glowing light, which lit up our entire
ship. It only lit up our ship, not the surrounding ocean, just our ship. It
happened so fast, that the OOD, the navigator and I were speechless for about
five seconds, at which time I looked at the OOD and asked him if he just saw
that light. He stated yes in a sullen voice. I then asked the navigator and he
replied yes. I then took the navigator’s sound powered headset, and asked the
forward and aft lookouts if they had just seen the same red flash, to which the
forward lookout stated, ‘Yes! What the hell was that?’ Aft lookout
said yes as well. I then immediately contacted CIC, and asked the CIC officer if
we had any aircraft or surface ships in our vicinity, to which he replied clear
as a whistle. I asked if we had any submarine activity in the area, to which he
replied, no. At this point I looked at the OOD and asked him if we should wake
up the captain. The OOD sat there stunned for a minute, as did I and everyone
else. What had just happened did not make any sense. The flash emanated from the
sea, directly off of our starboard bow (like it was touching our bow), and
ascended upwardly so rapidly, creating the effect of the bright red flash. The
other weird aspect of this event was that only our ship was lit up within the
red flash, not the surrounding sea, but our vessel only. The OOD elected not to
wake the captain, and the entire incident was logged in our ship’s log as an
unexplained phenomenon. Up until this event, I did not believe in UFOs or USOs.
I have no doubt that our ship, steaming along at 12 knots, came right up on a
submerged unidentifiable aircraft. I don’t think the aircraft or USO had any
idea we were sailing up to them. I think whatever it was took off in a very
unplanned and fast manner, and wanted to quickly identify us, thus the flash. I
have always felt that the event was extraterrestrial in nature.”-- Respectfully

White House says no alien visits
or UFO coverups
George Filer reports:
The White House has responded to two petitions asking the US government to
formally acknowledge that aliens have visited Earth and to disclose to any
intentional withholding of government interactions with extraterrestrial beings.
“The US government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or
that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the
human race,” said Phil Larson from the White House Office of Science &
Technology Policy, on the WhiteHouse.gov Web site. “In addition, there is no
credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the
public’s eye.”
5,387 people had signed
the petition for immediately disclosing the government’s knowledge of and
communications with extraterrestrial beings, and 12,078 signed the request for a
formal acknowledgement from the White House that extraterrestrials have been
engaging the human race.
“Hundreds of military and
government agency witnesses have come forward with testimony confirming this
extraterrestrial presence,” the second petition states. “Opinion polls now
indicate more than 50 percent of the American people believe there is an
extraterrestrial presence and more than 80 percent believe the government is not
telling the truth about this phenomenon. The people have a right to know. The
people can handle the truth.”
These petitions come from
an Obama Administration initiative called “We the People,” which has White House
staffers respond and consider taking action on any issue that receives at least
25,000 online signatures. Regarding these two petitions, the White House
promised to respond if the petitions got 17,000 or more signatures by Oct. 22.
Larson stressed that the
facts show that there is no credible evidence of extraterrestrial presence here
on Earth. He pointed out that even though many scientists have come to the
conclusion that the odds of life somewhere else in the Universe are fairly high,
the chance that any of them are making contact with humans are extremely small,
given the distances involved.
But that doesn’t mean we aren’t searching, there is just no evidence yet. The
Kepler spacecraft is searching for Earth-like planets in the habitable zones
around other stars, and that the Curiosity rover will launch to Mars this
month to “assess what the Martian environment was like in the past to see if it
could have harbored life.”
Regarding any evidence
for alien life, all anyone has now is “statistics and speculation,” said Larson.
“The fact is we have no credible evidence of extraterrestrial presence here on
Earth.”
Whether or not this will
appease or satisfy any conspiracy theorists or UFO believers is yet to be seen,
but it is gratifying to see the White House respond in such a no-nonsense
manner. http://www.universetoday.com/90717/no-alien-visits-or-ufo-coverups-white-house-says/#more-90717
Additional Note from
George: There is strong indication the White House is kept out of the loop
concerning UFOs. President Ford wrote me that while in Congress, as Vice
President, and as President he was never provided information about UFOs. It is
doubtful President Obama has been given UFO information.

Next Star Beacon issue out in February
This issue of The Star
Beacon is the last monthly issue. After 25 years in print (and exactly 297
consecutive publications!) TSB is going to come out every other
month, beginning in February 2012. We will give you 24 pages instead of 16 and
subscription prices will remain the same at $27 a year (U.S.), $30 (CAN), $36
(foreign) and $12 for PDF. The change comes at a time when it makes sense to
limit increasing expenses, and by expanding the newsletter another eight pages,
I will be able to include more news that otherwise would get cut.
So... Happy New Year,
everyone! I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of changes 2012 will
bring. Blessings to you all. -- Ann
Star Beacon publisher Annie Miller last June with partner Doug Elmore at US Coast Guard station in Port Angeles, Wash.
