�Nine Encounters in the Past Year Prompt UFO Researchers to  �
�                 Look for Alien Hot Spots                   �
�                                                            �
�Local UFO researchers will attempt to make contact with     �
�alien life forms later this year on the North Shore         �
�Mountains.                                                  �
�                                                            �
�Said Lorne Goldfader, director of the UFO Research Institute�
�of Canada (UFORIC), "We intend to go to UFO hot spots with  �
�very powerful halogen lights, strobe lights and sound       �
�frequencies, and we're going to try to attract, vector in,  �
�these spacecraft or objects or whatever they are.           �
�                                                            �
�"We're going to make several attempts, not only us but      �
�several hundred working groups across the world.            �
�                                                            �
�"We're going to make attempts, and one of us will get       �
�something.  NASA is spending millions of dollars with dishes�
�to get signals from space.  This is really not that much    �
�different from what NASA is doing but it's Earth-based, "   �
�Goldfader said.                                             �
�                                                            �
�Of 56 UFO sighting reports compiled by UFORIC last year,    �
�nine were based in North and West Vancouver.                �
�                                                            �
�Two of the nine North Shore incidents involved "close       �
�encounters."                                                �
�                                                            �
�According to Goldfader, some time between 2:30 a.m. and 3   �
�a.m., on August 29, 1992, a police officer living with his  �
�family in a Blueridge-area neighborhood of North Vancouver  �
�walked to a window and saw what appeared to be a shooting   �
�star.                                                       �
�                                                            �
�He went into the bathroom of the house.  Through an open    �
�window he saw reflected in the bathroom mirror three red and�
�white pulsating cylindrical lights.                         �
�                                                            �
�An alarm sensor located in the patio of the house was       �
�activated.  A light illuminating the lane nearby went out.  �
�                                                            �
�He heard one of his dogs outside whining.                   �
�                                                            �
�The man attempted to wake his wife.                         �
�                                                            �
�Said Goldfader, "He tried to wake up his wife in a panic.   �
�It took all his effort, and she only woke up for a brief    �
�moment falling back into sleep like a rag doll."            �
�                                                            �
�Meanwhile, Goldfader added, "The child (nine months old) was�
�giggling in the other room, another unusual event."         �
�                                                            �
�The man subsequently discovered a scorched area of grass by �
�the lane near his home.  The dog that had been whining      �
�outside during the incident lost "massive amounts of fur and�
�lost much weight, suggesting radiation exposure."           �
�                                                            �
�About a month earlier, on July 19, 1992, a West Vancouver   �
�mother and son experienced a close encounter of a different �
�kind.                                                       �
�                                                            �
�Goldfader said he talked to the 16-year-old West Vancouver  �
�male after the youth had contacted the police.              �
�                                                            �
�"He and his mother saw an object in the sky, but that's all �
�the mother remembers."                                      �
�                                                            �
�Both mother and child observed a conical object, fluorescent�
�and opaque.  The object zig-zagged at a distance from their �
�house.                                                      �
�                                                            �
�"But the young fellow remembers these biological entities   �
�though the closed door in his bedroom, lift him off the bed �
�and he freaked out - he resisted.  Then he ran into his     �
�parent's room, but there was about 15 minutes to half an    �
�hour of missing time," Goldfader said.                      �
�                                                            �
�A second incident at the home involved a circular ball of   �
�light entering through a window.                            �
�                                                            �
�A third incident involved a physical reaction.              �
�                                                            �
�"It's a phenomenon that I'm beginning to recognize.  He's   �
�(the teen) beginning to feel these electrical voltages under�
�the skin in areas where the surface of the skin feels numb. �
�                                                            �
�"I have other people where the same thing has happened to   �
�them.  I've identified four people so far who have this     �
�anomaly," Goldfader said.                                   �
�                                                            �
�The UFO researcher believes the hydro power lines near the  �
�home are somehow connected to the bizarre incident.         �
�                                                            �
�I've developed a theory from the data that I've read - the  �
�electro-magnetic radiation is coming from these power grids �
�and is harmful to skin cells.                               �
�                                                            �
�"These visitors, whoever they are, are concerned and doing  �
�some kind of genetic testing of the people in these areas." �
�                                                            �
�Added Goldfader, "Based on magnetic maps, over a period of  �
�time I've begun to recognize magnetic anomalies where these �
�UFO sightings are taking place.                             �
�                                                            �
�"It's speculation, but I feel there is a possibility that a �
�magnetic anomaly point could be an entry point for these    �
�objects to come through.  It could be a disturbance caused  �
�by UFO activity."                                           �
�                                                            �
�Goldfader's group is affiliated with the Texas-based Centre �
�for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI).     �
�                                                            �
�He said the two organizations are committed to acting upon  �
�UFO data compiled.                                          �
�                                                            �
�"There are several different kinds of UFO groups.  They     �
�range from the bizarre religious people who are trying to   �
�put their point of view across, to ex-CIA people.  We're not�
�fence-sitters," he said.                                    �
�                                                            �
�"If there is even a 1% chance that I'm successful or        �
�somebody else is successful (in the bid for contact) it will�
�change the course of history, so it's worth it."            �
