GREETINGS FELLOW HUMANOIDS: IT'S THAT TIME OF THE YEAR AGAIN, TIME FOR TURKEY CRANBERRY SAUCE, EGG NOG AND FESTIVE LIGHTS.....AND SPEAKING OF LIGHTS, A MUN- BER OF REPORTS HAVE BEEN PRINTED IN NEWSPAPERS IN REGARD TO SIGHTING OF UNI- DENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS. OKLAHOMA UFO In the October 12th edition of the Tulsa (Okalahoma) world newspaper, the headlines read: "Tripping Lights Fantastic, Commerce Residents Watch Night Glow Show". The newspaper account, which was front page top, says hundreds of people, including law enforcement officials, reported seeing the lights. A Tulsa fire department captain told the Tulsa world he saw two colored lights in the east- ern horizon around 10:30 PM. A dispatcher in the sheriff's department was quoted as saying: "We thought it was a hoax, but apparently it is real because I've got at least three, maybe four city units that have seen the lights." The Kansas City Star reports in Welch, Oklahome a family saw two-9 foot, gren glowing thin beings which may or may not have had a head (Tass report sim- ilarity). As the family drove out a gravel road a round thing with two red lights blocked their way. The the two green, glowing things popped out of the air- craft. Thousands of other residents of the Welch, Oklahoma area also report seeing strange lights in the sky in October. ARKANSAS UFO SIGHTINGS The Harrison Daily Times in Harrison, Arkansas ran a front page story this month (November) which included an account of a very unusual encounter by two women. The two were traveling several miles from Huntsville when they spotted a red-orange light in the sky. It was big and bright and appeared to be follow- ing them. The time was 5:10 Am and one of the womem used a Kadak camera to snap some photos of the object. When their vehicle stopped, so did the object. After rolling down a window to get a better view for the photographs. The women restarted their trip, but oddly enough, thirty minutes had past (sic) rather then the five minutes it should have taken to stop and snap the pictures of the object. A physician was bow hunting on October 27th and was headed to his deer stand about 4:50 AM. He spotted an orange light on the horizon, glowing like a cloud of dust. He was later asked by companions if he too had seen the weird orange light in the sky. SO, WHILE WE MAY NOT HEAR ABOUT THE SIGHTINGS ON THE EVENING NEWS, OR READ ABOUT THEM IN THE MAJOR NEWSPAPERS OR MAGAZINES OF THIS NATION, UFO REPORTS ARE CONTINUING AND ON A VERY CONTINOUS BASIS.
