BOOK OF THE MONTH: Confrontations, Jacques Vallee www.amazon.com SITE OF THE MONTH: www.nabigfootsearch.com 1 2 UFORCOP NEWS We research cases in Pennsylvania and other states and countries. If you have a present or historical case you would like researched contact, [email protected] We do not comment on other group’s investigative results. If you have an issue with those results contact the investigator or group you dealt with. Thank You. Due to the increase in traffic on our website we have increased our bandwidth considerably which should handle any issues. REPORT A UFO SIGHTING To speak with one of our researchers, please send us an email and include the following information. Your name Contact phone number or email address Date and time of event Location (city / county / state) Brief description of your sighting How many witnesses were involved? How close were you to the object? Attach any Photos, Drawings or EVP recordings. Email us at [email protected] UFORCOP MOBILE UNITS Fully equipped and based in the Eastern and Western sections of Pennsylvania, which allows us to cover any report within a matter of a few hours. 2 3 UFORCOP Is looking for any reports of mysterious lights or sightings of UFOs around Nuclear Power Plants, Military Bases, or Airport facilities. PARANORMAL UFORCOP will be going to the Gettysburg Battlefield area in the autumn of 2012 to do a paranormal investigation of strange things sighted at that location. CRYPTO ZOOLOGY Anyone with information on sightings in the Pennsylvania area of (Panthers, Mountain Lions, Cougars, Thunderbirds, Large Snakes, etc.) Please email [email protected] or [email protected] or [email protected] MOST REPORTED CREATURES IN PENNSYLVANIA Cougar, Coyote, Wolf, Bear LEAST REPORTED CREATURES IN PENNSYLVANIA Bigfoot, Thunderbirds BIGFOOT REPORTS FOR PENNSYLVANIA A total of four reports so far this year. All unconfirmed. ANIMAL MUTILATIONS There have been no reports of Cattle Mutilations in Pennsylvania that can be located and verified. UFORCOP NOTE We do not accept donations of any type.

Nuclear radiation comes in four major varieties. Geiger Counters can detect three (3) of these varieties with, relative degrees of difficulty. They can detect beta-particle radiation and to an extent, gamma-ray radiation. They have trouble measuring some weak forms of alpha radiation and cannot detect neutron radiation. NOTE: AN ACUTE HIGH DOSE OF RADIATION COULD RESULT IN RADIATION SICKNESS AND AN INCREASE IN THE CHANCE THAT MANY YEARS IN THE FUTURE, A CANCER OF SOME TYPE MAY OCCUR. Operating your Geiger counter is relatively easy. Check the batteries. Geiger Counters run on ordinary batteries. Most if not all of them have battery-check setting found on the main on/off switch. The indicator on the dial must fall within the “battery ok” arc or else the Geiger counter will not operate properly. If the Geiger counter has an audio on/off switch, turn it on to hear the clicks associated with detection of radiation. This allows you to keep your eyes on the mission at hand while your ears assess the rate of clicks and therefore, the level of radiation or radioactive contamination. 4 5 The meter faceplate will have printed on it “CPM”, for “Counts Per Minute”. In a background or natural radiation field you will probably hear and read a bout 0 to 50 CPM. That is normal and is the baseline from which you measure excess radiation. If you get a higher reading while measuring background, it could mean that you are already in a higher radiation field. Move to an area that you know to be radiation-free. If the Geiger counter still reads high, the probe may be contaminated with radioactivity or perhaps the Geiger counter is malfunctioning. To eliminate the possibility of contamination, the Geiger counter probe should be cleaned and background tested before each use. To make meaningful measurements, the Geiger counter probe should be pointed directly at surfaces. For example, hard forensic physical evidence found at the scene of your investigation. You may find you are checking objects such as people, trees, vehicles, buildings, etc. To test these surfaces, point the open end of the Geiger counter probe at the object. Short-range radiation, like beta particle radiation, may not be detected unless the probe is within inches of the suspected contaminated surface. A relatively slow scan is advised to allow the Geiger counter to respond. It is best to keep your meter faceplate multiplier at the lowest setting for the greatest sensitivity. It becomes as simple as the more rapid the “CPM” the stronger the radiation. WHEN DOES IT BECOME HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH? The “REM” unit describes how much radiation exposure a person can safely receive from a source of radiation. To determine the hazard from radiation exposure, it is far easier 5 6 for radiation specialist to use the REM unite than to use the CPM unit. Fortunately, many Geiger Counters can read out in both CPM and milli-rems per hour. NOTE: REMEMBER THIS…. IF YOU GEIGER COUNTER IS NOT CALLIBRATED AND THE READING IS INACCURATE AND ALL THOUGH THAT IS A BAD SITUATION IT IS NOT AS BAD AS IT MAY SEEM, FOR THE INACCURATE READING IS ALWAYS HIGHER THAN THE ACCURATE READING AND THAT IS MUCH BETTER THAN THE READING BE LOWER THAN THE ACCURATE READING. ONE MUST SIMPLY KNOW THE LIMITATIONS OF THE INSTRUMENT WHILE USING IT. Despite the limitations of Geiger Counters, there is no other rapid means of radiological assessment under emergency conditions. Right or wrong, exposure rate measurements will be used to either deploy or pull back investigative personnel involved in the incident. Radiation doses of sufficient magnitude will induce acute radiation sickness (ARS). Such doses are in the range of 100000 milli-rem and above. It is known that on average, a dose of about 400,000, milli-rem will be lethal about 50% of the time without medical intervention. REMEMBER…ALL THIS EQUIPMENT AND SCIENTIFIC EXPERTISE IS “AFTER THE FACT”. THE FIRST INVESTIGATOR ON THE SCENE OF THE INVESTIGATION IS ON THEIR OWN. AND THIS IS ALL THE MORE REASON THAT YOU SHOULD LEARN TO USE, MAINTAIN, AND PROPERLY INTERPRET THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY BASIC RADIATION DETECTION EQUIPMENT SUCH AS THE GIEGER COUNTER. 6 7 7 8 PARANORMAL TIPS Night Vision Equipment has come along way in recent years and has certainly enhanced the field of the Paranormal and will continue to grow in popularity as the cost of this st equipment is reduced due to further advancements. 1 and nd 2 generation night vision devices are the most affordable. Do shop around and try to purchase new and not used. Digital Voice Recorders vs. Tape Recorders: There is no comparison. Digital voice recorders can record longer than tape and you can’t load a tape into your PC. Remember digital recorders that boast 500 hrs of recording time should always be taken with a grain of salt. For higher quality of recording, the hours are shortened. 8 9 New UFORCOP Patch 9 10 NOTABLE UFO QUOTES "The evidence is overwhelming that Planet Earth is being visited by intelligently controlled extraterrestrial spacecraft. In other words, some UFOs are alien spacecraft. Most are not. It's clear from the opinion polls and my own experience, that indeed most people accept the notion that some UFOs are alien spacecraft. The greater the education, the more likely to accept this proposition" -- Stanton Friedman Defense Contractor Nuclear Physicist "The UFO phenomenon being reported is something real and not visionary or fictitious" --General Nathan Twining Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff, 1955-1958 "When the long awaited solution to the UFO problem comes, I believe that it will prove to be not merely the next small step in the march of science, but a mighty and totally unexpected quantum leap." "We had a job to do, whether right or wrong, to keep the public from getting excited" --Dr. J. Allen Hynek, Director US Air Force Project Blue Book as a Scientific Consultant, Astronomer, Investigator. 10
