�                    WHAT IS HAPPENING?                      �
�        ED DAMES' "BIG EVENT" AND THE MARS OBSERVER         �
�                                                            �
�by Carolyn Duce-Ashe                                        �
�                                                            �
�The final week of August proved inhospitable to New         �
�Mexicans and "aliens" alike as thunderstorms and flash      �
�floods drenched most of the state. Despite the weather,     �
�several MUFON field investigators and myself sat in a truck �
�near Chaco Canyon watching the cloudy skies for most of the �
�night, Saturday, August 28. (Of course, Chaco was just a    �
�guess as to the location of Site Two; northern New Mexico is�
�a huge area!) We saw some interesting ground lights, between�
�downpours, but saw nothing "alien" as far as we could tell. �
�The beautiful pink-red sunset had promised better.          �
�                                                            �
�Ed Dames had told me that the predicted "Event" would       �
�happen the last weekend in August when I talked to him by   �
�phone on August 23. He also said at the time that the       �
�malfunction of the Mars Observer was "directly linked to the�
�Event." More on the Mars connection later in this article.  �
�                                                            �
�I survived the wet weekend and by the middle of the         �
�following week was beginning to wonder if I would indeed    �
�hear from Dames, who had said he would keep me informed.    �
�There had been no worldwide announcement of any "event"     �
�other than the usual wars, disasters and depressingly       �
�familiar goings-on of life on this planet. (Here in         �
�Albuquerque, a section of the Alameda Bridge dropped a      �
�foot--reminiscent of John Keel/Mothman, but probably a      �
�coincidence.) A paradigm shift sure would be great about    �
�now, I thought. But hoping for a change hadn't made it      �
�happen. And researchers were calling me from all over the   �
�country asking for the latest news.                         �
�                                                            �
�Then, at 9:30 p.m. on September 2, Ed Dames called to       �
�explain the situation.                                      �
�                                                            �
�According to  him  the "Event" had happened, despite the    �
�weather, but the "announcement" would be delayed for 5 or 6 �
�weeks. He said that there is much more going on than anyone �
�can imagine and it's incredibly beautiful! The timing of the�
�"announcement" crucial; it will be made by a very high      �
�authority, one of three in the world--an important world    �
�figure, trusted and recognizable to all and "higher up than �
�President Clinton."                                         �
�                                                            �
�He said he is working with some contacts within MUFON "who  �
�will be told." As for Debby and I, he added, "You're my     �
�neighbors," and "We're all in this together in New Mexico." �
�He thanked the NM MUFON News staff for the accurate job of  �
�reporting we've done to date and assured me, your editor,   �
�that he was telling me as much as he could, since it was    �
�"not his job to announce anything, " that the announcement  �
�must come from higher sources, someone who the world would  �
�trust and believe to announce "strange things."             �
�When I asked him to elaborate on the nature of these        �
�"strange things," he said that "the average person would be �
�scared to death" to see what's happening.  Regular people   �
�want contact, but when the real thing happens, it can be    �
�more frightening than they can imagine and unpleasant       �
�personal physiologic reactions can occur. He added that the �
�situation was very scary and very serious and "the alien    �
�hybrids desperately need to be taken care of."              �
�                                                            �
�I said, "So it's happening now--" "And will be going on for �
�quite some time," Ed confirmed. "This is just the beginning �
�of a series of events...You have my word that things are    �
�happening."                                                 �
�                                                            �
�Regarding the recently defunct Mars Observer, Ed said that  �
�the malfunction was "directly related to the 'event' since  �
�Mars is key in the martian/alien/New Mexico scenario that   �
�has been ongoing for millions of years." Last year Ed Dames �
�predicted that the Mars Observer would be lost or interfered�
�with when it arrived at Mars, and he told officials at NASA �
�at that time.  A researcher I know says that he heard Ed    �
�Dames make that claim last year.  According to Dames, he is �
�now working on the problem with people at JPL in Pasadena   �
�and the U.S. Air Force.  NASA, he says, "is arrogant and    �
�won't tell the truth... but the Air Force knows what is     �
�going on." Several years ago the Russian Phobos II          �
�spacecraft mysteriously failed to respond to orders, as,    �
�more recently, did the NOAA-13 polar-orbiting weather       �
�satellite. And now the Mars Observer is defunct and it's due�
�to alien intervention, according to Dames.                  �
�                                                            �
�Will we ever really know what is going on with the Space    �
�program? I hope so.  Presumably, this will be part of the   �
�information included in the "announcement" when it is made  �
�(around the middle of October?).                            �
�                                                            �
�Editorial Opinion                                           �
�                                                            �
�Why is Ed Dames going out on a limb with this alien/Mars    �
�stuff? Concerning this, Ed said he would rather not be doing�
�this but that the "Transcendentals" are in charge and       �
�"calling the shots" ! He admitted he's had his "nose to the �
�grindstone" and he's "bloody in the face" from being too    �
�close to it all. And he confided that right now he'd "love  �
�to get out of this" because there's been a lot of risk...   �
�"but it's a labor of love...I wasn't prepared for the purity�
�and innocence of the races we are dealing with--it's just so�
�wonderful and beautiful," he said.                          �
�                                                            �
�Well, so now it seems we must continue to wait to see what  �
�happens.  Personally, I'm willing to be patient, but many   �
�people I know are fed up with waiting for the "Big Event."  �
�There have been so many disappointments throughout the      �
�years--and hoaxes and disinformation abound in the UFO field�
�(skies). What we need is PROOF, but, for now, we only have  �
�Ed Dames' word to go on.... So, anyway, stay tuned! We'll   �
�report more in next month's newsletter.                     �
