YOWIE SIGHTING NEAR TAREE

August 7, 2009

Whether you believe in them or not, the question of whether there's a yowie or big foot living in the upper Manning Valley is again attracting attention.

Two women claim they saw one of the creatures on their way to collect produce from a Cundle Flat farm, west of Taree.

600ft jellyfish crop circle found in Oxfordshire field

2009-06-08T18:14:00.000+10:00

A 600ft jellyfish pattern has appeared in a barley field in Kingstone Coombes, Oxfordshire, in what is one of the most intriguing crop circles ever seen in Britain.

The vast pattern appeared in the field last week and experts are claiming it to be the first of its kind in the world.

Karen Alexander, a crop circle expert, said: "We have seen butterfly and bird patterns in the past, but this is the first jellyfish crop circle in the world.

"It is absolutely huge - roughly three times the size of most crop patterns and extremely interesting. People have been aghast at the size of it. It is a complete monster.

"We are looking into the meaning of it, but at present it just seems to have appeared out of nowhere."

Crop circle theorists known as 'croppies' - believe the patterns are created by UFOs during nocturnal visits, or caused by natural phenomena such as unusual forms of lightning striking the earth.

Mysteries Surrounding Death and Dying Humans

2009-05-26T15:13:00.001+10:00

Currently researching the sometimes mysterious events witnessed and experienced when directly associated with critically ill and dying Humans.

Some of the mysteries include;

* Near Death Experiences

* Mysterious Orbs, mists and apparitions seen in the near vicinity of the Dying.

* Photographs of Mystery Orbs near critically ill or dying Humans (or animals). Including Orbs near someone who later suffers serious illness or accidental death. Plus mystery Orbs and mists in graveyard photographs. Especially interested in moving Orbs leaving a motion trail or streak of light.

* Premonitions of impending tragedies and Natural disasters that have later came true.

I open the discussion with you the reader of this Blog page. I invite you to send me your story related to the stated subject. I would be most interested in gauging the frequency in which such mysterious events occur, and how similar they are when compared to world wide personal experiences.

Please post your story and images to me HERE

I ask your permission to the possibility of using your story and images in my concluding or subsequent research results published in print media either on the WWW or in hard copy.

Names and personal details will be withheld with respect and gratitude.

UFO Web Site Up and Running Again

2009-01-05T21:25:00.001+11:00

Australian UFO Researcher Barry Taylor note.

I have just reinstalled my OZ Factor UFO Research web page after a long absence.

My previous ISP, Manyrivers, allocated me unlimited server space allowing approx. 43.2MB of interesting UFO research results gathered between 1996 and 2006. They handed over the accounts to another ISP based in Brisbane that went bust and we all lost our web pages plus monies paid in advance for ISP server fees.

I established this Blog site so I would at least have some contact with all those persons interested in my research, new and regular browsers.

My new OZ Factor UFO Research site is...

http://members.ceinternet.com.au/stingray/

so have a look and bookmark it.

I am only allocated 5MB, so have only listed basic research results which I hope you find interesting.

Drop me a email and introduce yourself.

Thanks,

Australian UFO Researcher Retires

2008-12-27T12:01:00.001+11:00

Well known Australian UFO Researcher Keith Basterfield has officially retired from all UFO related activities. Keith is one of the "Old School" researchers and in my personal opinion was one of the most well respected and caring persons actively researching this subject here in Australia.

Keith began his research in 1968 in the days when Jacques Vallee was promoting the scientific investigation into the subject. Keith has published numerous research papers on the UFO topic, many of these freely available on the Internet.

Keith has now shredded his complete research notes and records on the Alien Abduction studies and personal investigations conducted by him over the years, thus ensuring total confidentiality for the many persons assisting him with his investigations into this serious yet controversial aspect of UFO research topics.

Keith is generously donating his entire UFO book collection to the Adelaide Theosophical Society Library. This Library is open to the public, thus ensuring that his personal UFO reference collection will be available to others for years to come.

Keith will also be closing down his South Australian UFO blog site.

On a personal note, I worked with Keith as a colleague during the 1990's especially when I was setting up the original Australian UFO Researchers Network (AUFORN) email group between 1996 - 1998. In 1996 I had witnessed a high activity rate of UFOs and was just connecting to and learning about the Internet. My enquiries revealed that although some Australian UFO researchers and study groups had email addresses, there was no organised communication network between researchers. So over the next 18 months I contacted all available UFO researchers around Australia and actively encouraged them to participate in regular email contact and to share any UFO sighting reports gathered by these groups and researchers. This began to work successfully, especially with the cooperation of Keith Basterfield.

Each month all researchers and UFO groups were asked to forward their monthly UFO reports to Keith in South Australia. Keith would systematically compile these reports by date and state and finally bulk email the monthly report back to all researchers participating in the original AUFORN mailing list. Giving credit to the contributor. This guaranteed we were all kept up to date with UFO activity Australia wide.

The original AUFORN mailing list was not owned by anyone, it was a medium in which all Australian UFO researchers could freely communicate and share information and ideas between one another. In principle it was an ideal opportunity for advancement.

Brisbane based Robert Frola and his assistant at the time, Diane Harrison (now Mrs Frola) started their own mailing list and with Keith's agreement was called "The Keith Basterfield Network". Using the same list of members as the original AUFORN list, we now had two UFO mailing lists. This of course caused some confusion and internal conflict. It was like dividing a well oiled working machine into two fractured entities. The grab for power was now on. What a great source of information for publication in the "Australian UFOlogist Magazine". Frola being the Editor.

Many healthy debates were learning pains that resulted in the current owners of this network registering the name AUFORN and informed us that they now own the list and no one else could use the name. The original AUFORN list had just been hijacked.

"...so let them sort it out for themselves." The results have been good for some but not so for others. After all, what are we involved in this subject for? Cash, notoriety or knowledge? I suppose it depends upon who you ask.

It has been nice knowing you Keith, enjoy your new endeavours.

UFO Clips added to YouTube

2008-07-05T19:24:00.000+10:00

If you are interested in the types of UFO I have been filming, I have loaded a few on YouTube. Search using UFO Down-Under being the same as my video releases of the footage I have taken over recent years. Also search eBay for UFO DVD and UFO Book for the full collection of my Research efforts.

Two Types of UFO Living Critters Seen

2008-07-05T19:06:00.000+10:00

What I have been seeing over the last 3 years include the following;

1. 10 foot swallow tailed black object at just above roof level. I thought "Mothman" so did web search on that (Point Pleasant Virginia 1976-7)

2. Just passing overhead 9 foot 'wings' only, (no body or tail) could see the light and dark grey striping as if feathers. Silent.

3. Since local UFO activity in 1997, have been seeing black Boomerang to slightly bent boomerang shaped 'objects' flying leading edge forward. These about 5-10 feet wide. One had small row of 'fairy lights' or what looked like faint LED lights along front leading edge. This swooped low overhead where I thought it was going to hit me. Got huge adrenaline rush as it
passed low overhead. I call these "Gargoyles". They are stealthy.

4. Over the last 4 months there has been two new types (to me) Must say here that I am a UFO Researcher and avid skywatcher for the last 37 years, and very intensely over the last 11 years. I have video of many day and night UFOs, and have produced 3 DVD's of my footage. Search eBay under "UFO DVD" , mine are the "UFO Down-Under" DVD's. So I am very experienced in things in the sky, day and night. I know when something is up there.

The recent objects are amazing.
a) There is a small 10 inch long football shaped object that moves from very low (10 foot) to medium high altitude at speed where it leaves a streak of light in the sky. On six occasions over a three night period, a second similar object has "Intercepted" the first object. Hence the name I have given them, "Interceptors". These are anywhere from black objects to bright glowing.
One of these flew past me only 10 feet away and I could hear the "Whoosh" as it disturbed the air. I calculate its speed at 300 Klm/hr (180 Miles/hr). at ALTITUDE THEY MUST BE THOUSANDS OF mph. They also have small swept back wings.
These seem to be a living critter of some kind (like many UFO actually are).

b) Is the most interesting. A 6 foot wide Boomerang (Gargoyle) that seems to sweep back its wings when in a more 3D state, and bring them forward when semi-invisible (inter-dimensional) state. They then move very quick to medium slow at low altitudes in silence. They have no tail, head or body other than the Boomerang shape.

Now here is what has got me excited. One night recently, one approached head-on at 8 metres (25 feet) from me. I could see the texture on the wing. It was like reptile scales. There was some local light reflecting off it. As I trained my eyes toward the front if it, it must have realised that I was actually looking at it and it stopped, did a sideways rocking wobble then suddenly disappeared before my eyes. It think it switched into invisibility. Something like the Squid can suddenly change its colours and patterns to blend into its environment. This thing is Reptilian and alive, not a craft.

Two nights later, I heard a strange noise pass from behind my back to then fly off into the distance at high speed. Heard 5 seconds of a sound like a "Bull Rorer". I did a web search and came across this.

ooph [Hebrew] that means to fly or flutter.===============

Gen. 1:20, "flying creatures that flutter to and fro" and;

Is. 6:2 "seraphim (the same word as the reptiles here used for angelic creatures) that fly to
and fro. The meaning may be best illustrated by a polal infinitive construct in Ez. 32:10 "when I cause my sword to fly to and fro" or "when I brandish my sword." The rapid back and forth movement of the sword (brandishing) illustrates the emphasis of the polal intensive.

Flutter, is EXACTLY what the sound was. Now, does this mean that these ancient reptiles are now flying in the skies above Northern New South Wales Australia???

These too can be from black to brightly illuminated objects. I have seen them partly illuminated a fuzzy white or higher altitude much brighter. They sometimes quickly flash then fly off as a black object.

The above objects I consider may live in the shadow of the Earth, following the shadow. They are either returning after a long absence, or very few Humans are seeing them. I say they are Alien to this planet and have the ability to traverse Space.

Buzzed by Boomerng UFO

2008-07-05T16:14:00.001+10:00

UFO activity over Grafton (NSW). March 17th and 19th 2007, I observed a single Boomerang UFO at about 150ft altitude and approx. 200 metres away. It was dimly illuminated yet bright enough to catch my attention.

On the 17th. it was heading north at quite rapid speed. On the 19th. it was heading south in the same area of sky but much slower speed. Slow enough to get a good look at it.Size appeared only about 1 metre wing span (not knowing actual distance)

To-night, 16th. April at around 6.30pm, the same or similar UFO flew directly overhead heading south. I got a good look at the shape and size. It was a boomerang shape about 2.5 metres wing span. Dimly illuminated and moving approx. 150 klm/h. Altitude was under 200ft. Was too fast to get video of.

It appears this same object has been flying up and down the area for a few weeks now and will no doubt return. I will let you know if I get footage of it.

First week this month there was a high altitude (4,000ft) fuzzy mass of round illumination heading south. This type of illumination has been seen numerous times before during UFO activity over this area. That same night there were 6 other UFO type events at low altitude around my viewing location, 2 at tree top height. They were small basket ball size (and less) objects brightly illuminated and moving so fast they were difficult to follow, but certainly only 30-50 metres away. Got a bit spooky there for a while.

UFOs and Angels

2006-10-10T09:02:00.000+10:00

UFO's and Angels:

Since my early years, I had been made aware that there were 'Guardian Angels' that followed us around during our daily lives. I had been saved from drowning, avoided motor accidents plus other unusual circumstances that I personally consider was the protection granted me by my Guardian Angel. I never really went out my way to study the subject or find more answers, I just accepted it as a natural part of life, and that every one had their own personal Guardian Angel. And I still think that is the way it is.

I have witnessed many UFO events over the years in an attempt to learn about the phenomena, and what it all means. I had learnt that not all UFO's are in fact 'Alien Spacecraft containing Alien Beings', at least not the four-foot Grey Aliens. Many UFO objects are small in size, ranging from tennis ball size to around three metres (10 feet) of course there are many types of UFO that are larger than the 3 metre ones.

In November 1999, I witnessed something that would steer me in another direction of study. My concepts of what UFO's are, and what they do here got a quick boost of enlightenment. Well, what some may be doing at least.

Guardian Angel?

I was visiting a friend's place when we could hear the Wespac Rescue helicopter approaching to land at the local hospital. The chopper usually flew almost over the house roof, as the landing pad was close by. We both stood on the rear steps to watch the chopper pass almost overhead with its bright landing spot light illuminating the whole area like daytime.

When level to me, I noticed something quickly fly off from just above the rotor blades of the chopper. It was a dull yellow illuminated object rectangular in shape and around two feet long (60cm) and 10 inches (25cm) high. I quickly jumped down off the top step, turned to watch the object fly off toward the East. It was only 100-ft. altitude or less. The first thing that came to mind was "Guardian Angel." I considered that under the circumstances of the situation that the UFO had followed the chopper containing a critical ill passenger, and was there for the sake and well being of the sick person. And I left my thoughts stay with that for it sounded feasible yet a little over the top.

"That was a UFO," I said to my friend, "and it was following the chopper so as to look after the ill passenger." She accepted that as a probable scenario without question. I wish everyone were like her. We often discuss the situation and find it ever more amazing if true.

Similar event.

I will jump ahead in the sequence of events here, for the final connection between UFO's and Angels is most interesting and very important to me. In June 2001, I was standing out on my balcony scanning the horizon for unusual activity, when I suddenly noticed a slow moving dull yellow object above the roof of a farmhouse some 1.5klm west. The object was so dully illuminated, I had to look ahead of the object a little so as to catch it in my peripheral vision. I did this a few times and confirmed that yes, it was a UFO and flying at low altitude from the South, and would fly over the western boundary of town. I quickly ran inside to get my video camera, which was only 5 paces away. When I returned, I could not see the object yet began videoing the probable path just in case I got lucky.

The unusual thing here is, that when I returned outside, there was a light aircraft flying at a similar low altitude to where I had seen the UFO. I thought, "Did the UFO turn into an aircraft?" Or did the Aircraft turn into a UFO?" I was a bit confused about that for a while. The light aircraft continued flying at very low altitude around the western boundary of town, then turned to fly across the northern boundary and off toward the north east. I made some inquiries at the local airport the next day, and the only conclusion reached was that the aircraft was the Air Ambulance. It was flying low because the ill patient must have had lung problems and could not survive pressurized air if flying at altitude, and thin air means more oxygen pressure. Another event where UFO was directly associated with the transportation of critically ill Humans.

Angels (?) and UFO's (?) comfort the dying:

I would like to share something very personal with you here. I want you to know what my Mother and I witnessed the night my Father died. This is true to the word. So please take these words with you, and ponder over the consequences of this event and what it would mean to you if the following events happened to your family.

My Father was critically ill in hospital and not expected to last the night. My Mother and I decided we would put in an all night bedside vigil to be with him. I wanted to phone my daughter to tell her that her Grandfather was very ill and may not last the night. Early that evening around 8.30pm, I walked into the car park of the hospital and phoned my daughter on my mobile. She accepted the situation well. Just as we were saying our good-byes, she began to gently weep. Well this made me overcome with grief also. I got that heavy feeling in my heart.

Bright Star like object:

I looked up into the starry dark sky, and saw a very bright star like object approaching from the south from over the near-by hills. I was immediately comforted and my grief gone. I had seen many similar objects before. They were what I call the "UFO Probe" type objects. They are not satellites. The bright object was now behind trees lining the car park so I walked further up the car park so I could continue to watch this object move off into the distance. It slowly faded into a dim smaller object that went totally out. I then returned to my Fathers bedside, yet did not mention this sighting to my Mother until next morning.

White Lights fly off:

In the early hours of the next morning, my Mother suddenly turned to me and said, "What was that?" "What was what?" I replied. She said she had seen a flying light outside the window. She thought it was a plane or something. A little while later she said, "There it is again!" this time it was flying away from the window. I walked to the window thinking it must have been an aircraft in the distance or the headlights of a passing car shining in the window. I waited until a car passed by, no lights anywhere the window and there were no aircraft. We were on the first floor. Now I was curious. First the bright object I had seen earlier, now my Mother had seen two illuminated objects just outside the hospital window.

Golden Object flies off:

Keeping an awareness of any movement outside the window was keeping my mind occupied. After a while, I turned my head toward the window just in time to see the most amazing sight. I saw this beautiful object just long enough so as to have the memory of it etched on my mind forever. Just outside the window about 3 feet away, I saw a golden yellow rectangular object around 2 feet (60cm) long and 10 inches (25cm) high hover for a moment than suddenly shoot off toward the right and out of view. What ever it was, was observing us through the window, saw me turn toward it then took off so I could not keep watching it.

I could see the sharply defined edges of the object it was so close. I got a good look at the surface of the object. There were no markings or imperfections, just a pure golden object. It was flying without visible means of propulsion or wings, no sound and was too small to have been a craft containing crew. What ever it was, must have been its own fully self-contained entity. It demonstrated intelligence by its curiosity for looking into the window and internal energy source by the way it hovered than quickly accelerated away. It was what I would call a genuine UFO, but not an Alien craft, as we would normally imagine.

Do Angels and UFO's work together?

If all the circumstances are considered surrounding these events, there is only one logical conclusion. And that is, that the UFO has demonstrated that it is willing to become directly involved with the close observation of seriously ill and dying humans.

The UFO Spectrum.

The question now needs to be asked, "Are some UFO's and Angels one and the same?" I say 'some' for I am sure that not all UFO's are from the same source. Some UFO's are definitely highly advanced, sophisticated craft containing highly trained crew. While others seem to be self contained living entities, and others seem to demonstrate they are working for a higher power we would call God.

Soul of Accident Victim Observed.

For me this is the 'icing on the cake' as the saying goes. This event convinces me that there is more to life (and death) than we are lead to believe or willing to consider in some circumstances. Whatever your beliefs or understanding toward Religion is. It does not matter which denomination you belong to or which God you worship. It does not even matter if you are a heathen. The SAME GOD looks after as ALL.

At 3:30am on 22nd January 2002 I got a phone call that there was a serious truck accident on the Pacific Highway at Grafton involving three trucks. One driver was fatally injured. I do freelance news for a local TV station so I attended.

At around 3:50am there were a small group of rescue and firemen and myself discussing the incident, when I suddenly noticed an illuminated Orb flying just south of us at low altitude. I brought this to the attention of the others and 4 of us watched the object until it suddenly disappeared. "There is one of your UFO's Baz" one of the crew jokingly said to me.

After thinking about the incident for some time, this is what I seriously consider happened at that scene.

The driver was suddenly killed. His Soul was released from his physical body in a confused state. (possibly same with all sudden deaths) The Soul wanted to know what had happened so materialized and flew over the corner of the Highway where the last memory of the driver would have been before the accident. Once the Soul realised the situation, a small teardrop fell from the Orb just before the moment it quickly diminished in size and disappeared. The Soul was now in a different dimension that some refer to as Heaven. The Soul was now being comforted by other departed Souls "On the other side."

Luster of Glazed Pearl.

The surface of the Orb was easily seen from the 100 metres distance from us. It was similar to the beautiful rich luster of a glazed white Pearl. The Orb was no more than 100 feet altitude and the size of 1.5 to 2 soccer balls.

For me, this was a very important event. We had seen something beyond explanation yet it was all starting to fall into place for me. I had been shown (or lucky enough to have seen) enough evidence to cement my ideas on the inter-relationship between (some) UFO's and the presence of Angels.

Daytime Red Jellyfish UFO

2006-10-10T08:29:00.000+10:00

Daytime Red “Jellyfish” UFO Video.
Port Macquarie New South Wales Australia.
Monday 1st October 2006 Time: 10:30am

Digital still Fuji FinePix F650 on video Motion JPEG mode.

Port Macquarie on the Monday Labour Day Long week-end while walking along the shores of one of the beautiful Bays of the area, when we stopped among the tall pine trees lining the shore so as to gaze up at the clear blue sky. I suddenly noticed an unusual pinkish red round object high above us. I pointed this object out to my friend who also watched it over the next 10 minutes observation time, but sometimes unable to see it when behind the pine branches.

The object was not only unusual by its colour but it also had a long shining gossamer tale hanging below the object. This tale was constantly swishing back-and-forth in a rhythmic manner as if it was assisting the object in flight some how. First slowly moving toward the north, the object soon changed direction toward the south and stopping for a short while directly over our heads. It was here that the regular pulsing of the object became noticeable. It was as if the object had a brighter side as if reflecting the Sun light then the shape or profile of the object would change, possibly from some internal movement that distorted the outer shape therefore not reflecting the Sun at the same angle resulting in a dulling down of the overall brightness coming from the object.

The object then slowly began moving toward the south-east where it became visible on the other side of the near-by pine tree. Suddenly, the object rapidly descended to quite a low altitude, approx. 2,000 feet, and was strongly strobing and quickly moving the tail. It was as if the object was getting excited at getting a closer look at us watching it.

Suddenly, the object took off in a rapid vertical ascent to a height where it was no longer visible to the naked eye, even when wearing sunglasses with a polarized lens.

We concluded after an analytical discussion that the object was not a balloon aimlessly drifting in the breeze but behaved independently because of the direction changes, constant and regular motion of the tail movement, the unusual colour, the regular pulsing that change the brightness of the object and finally, the rapid descent, hovering with increased tail and pulse activity followed by the very rapid vertical assent of the object until it was so high it was out of sight in a few seconds. Nothing at all like the behaviour of an inert object like a balloon. This object was a UFO, possibly a living space critter of some yet unknown type. I have seen them before.

Cartnic Effect

2006-09-26T10:15:00.000+10:00

"Cartnic Effect".
Proposal for new terminology to be used for descriptive purposes when describing "the flight characteristics of the flight and direction change of groups of UFO's".

While observing numerous UFO activity during the 1990's, there was one important observation that still intrigues me. This is the observation of groups of UFO (usually surrounded with a white haze) that during their flight appeared to be moving as if with the "same mind".We are all aware of the flight characteristics of a flock of birds and schools of fish that are closely grouped together, and change direction simultaneously while maintaining the close group formation.

This effect seems to indicate that each bird or fish is "tuned into" some type of "group awareness" enabling them to react to direction change instantly. Not onebird or fish takes a different direction or interrupts the intention of the group as a whole. Total control of the group is maintained.Unlike herds of animals quickly moving and changing direction, who seem to exhibit a "follow the leader" type of awareness. Humans fall under this category also.

This effect indicates an "individual awareness" and one individual can disrupt and confuse the entire group if hesitation or different direction is taken.I am at this point in time, unaware of a specific terminology that accurately describes the effect observed of birds and fish moving as if with the "same mind". This same effect is associated with the flight of groups of UFO's.I propose that this effect of "group awareness of the same mind" be called the "CARTNIC EFFECT".

Why "Cartnic Effect"?
C = Close
A = Association
R = Reaction
T = To
N = Natures
I = Instinctive
C = Control

This effect is a real one, and appears to be a "natural" awareness not only used in Nature but also used by the UFO. It could be directly linked to survival and self preservation (safety) of the overall group.Preservation and reduced energy requirements of the individual when flying in group formation is another possibility.

Scientists state that migrating birds when flying in "V" formation conserve 71% of their energy during their migration flight. This could well also apply to the UFO. An "exchange" of energy in UFO groups is another theory I am working on, and may post that later.I ask you to think about the use of the above terminology proposal and see its use when describing, cataloguing, investigating, reporting and writing about such an effect.
