My UFO Story
First person accounts of UFO encounters
John Ventre
John Ventre
I joined MUFON in 1998. I retired from UPS in 2012 and spend my time writing books, running multiple states for MUFON, appearing in a couple of TV series, playing racquetball and kick boxing. I'm my Rotary Club Pres. and volunteer for JDRF and am currently running for School Board.
I have never seen a UFO and had no interest in the subject until I was almost 40 years old. I was a B-movie, comicon, horror movie and magazine fan as a kid. I had no interest in ET unless it was a cool movie creature like in "Predator" or "Alien" and there was a lot of action in the movie. I started to experience paranormal activity in my early 30s when I moved to Oklahoma weeks after almost getting on doomed Pan Am flight 103 returning from Europe. This inadvertently led me to wanting to write a sci-fi novel regarding end time prophecy which led me to the UFO question.
What was originally spotted as 'a big bright, circular light in the sky' split into multiple pieces over a four to five minute period near Forest Grove, OR. Pictured: Cropped and enlarged version of Witness Image #7. (Credit: MUFON)
An Oregon witness at Forest Grove photographed a bright orb in the sky that appeared to split into multiple parts over a four to five minute period, according to testimony in Case 65981 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was driving in the plains of Forest Grove with a friend about 8 p.m. on September 19, 2014, when the object first came into view.
"All of the sudden my friend spots a big bright, circular light in the sky, just stationary a little bit above the horizon," the reporting witness stated. But then they watched as the object appeared to split into multiple parts.

Large, hovering, orange object beams bright light to ground
By Norman Gagnon
Reprinted from the August 2012 Journal EDITOR'S NOTE: Two Virginia teenage boys were watching television late on June 25, 2012, when something unusual happened.
A light source began shining into their living room and caused them to stand up and investigate.
Field Investigator Norm Gagnon takes us to the scene where the brothers saw a "large, orange light hovering approximately 80 feet off the ground."
The object was described as circular and between 700 and 900 feet in diameter. Now if that's not better than TV, I'm not sure what is.
Special Guest Host Chase Kloetzke will be interviewing Richard Dolanon Tuesday, June 23, 2015 at 6 p.m. CST on KGRA Digital Broadcasting Network. Come join the conversation!
Richard Dolan is one of the world's leading researchers and writers on the subject of UFOs, and believes that they constitute the greatest mystery of our time.
He is the author of two volumes of history, UFOs and the National Security State, both ground-breaking works which together provide the most factually complete and accessible narrative of the UFO subject available anywhere. He also co-authored a speculative book about the future, A.D. After Disclosure, the first-ever analysis not only of how UFO secrecy might end, but of the all-important question: what happens next?
MUFON Radio is evolving with every new show. At the request of Host Steve Hudgeons, KGRA and the MUFON Communications Department, we ask our members to come forward to be a guest on the show. MUFON Radio would like to spotlight our brilliant investigators. If you have a case you would like to speak about with Steve on the MUFON Radio Show, please e-mail Cassidy at cassidy@mufon.
This installment is a review of the effects magnetic fields and forces display, and the differences between them.
The force that attracts or repels at a distance is called magnetism, and is due to a magnetic field that is caused by moving electrically charged particles. Magnets have two opposing poles, and the flow of electrons from one pole to the other is what causes a field. This flow of electrons is called the lines of flux.
One thing that is really cool about fields, is that it is still a mystery just exactly what they are made up of, but we do know that it is a special property of space! If two objects with magnetic fields come near each other, they can create a force. This force is called magnetism. Depending on whether the poles of two objects are like (N, N) or dislike (N, S) they will either repel or attract respectively.
To demonstrate the differences I am using a liquid with magnetic properties known as Ferro fluid, and three neodymium magnets with insulators in between them.
Here is one of the best examples of a "force" field your likely to see...since like gravity it is invisible! Something to keep in mind when out in the field using a Tri-Field Meter.
The witnesses first noticed lights at a distance that were not blinking as they were walking near a cemetery. Pictured: Fairfax, VA. (Credit: Google Maps)
