From: rutkows@cc.umanitoba.ca (Chris Rutkowski) Subject: MUFON Ontario Carp article Summary: MUFON Ontario's article exposing the Carp hoax Date: 2 May 94 15:53:39 GMT Organization: The University of Manitoba David Thacker of AUFOSG has scanned in my copy of the MUFON Ontario Newsletter, specifically the article about the involvement and investigations of MUFON Ontario and MUFON Quebec in the Carp story. This is just the first part of their three-part article. But even this part is hopefully enough to finally put this hoax to rest! Subject: The Carp article from Mufon Ontario newsletter Here it is, hot off the scanner: The Carp case (The Guardian Caper) - The MUFON Ontario Version - This case has had much coverage in the media. Tabloid television shows like 'Unsolved Mysteries', 'Sightings' and 'Encounters' have given it much air-time, as have cable-TV stations all over North America. Internationally magazines newspapers and newsletters have devoted hundreds of pages to it and UFO conferences around the planet have intrigued many thousands of attendees with it's seemingly startling details. "Carp' has achieved 'One Of The Most Significant Cases In UFO History' status. You've probably heard, seen and read about it yourself. In this and succeeding issues we'll deal with the FACTS of the case. We'll describe the events, as told by the media and as we've experienced them - and we'll try not appear too judgmental. Tom Theofanous, working with The Canadian UFO Research Network (CUFORN), received a package from someone calling themselves 'Guardian'. It had no return address. "The package contained a story about a UFO crash that supposedly happened close to Carlton Place, which is about a half-hour drive from Ottawa", Tom said. "There was also a photocopied picture of an Alien." "For the most part, we thought it was a joke. But, CUFORN director Harry Tokarz decided to call Arthur Bray, a well-respected UFO author and researcher who lives in Ottawa, and ask him if he had someone in the Carlton area who could check out the story for us. As luck would have it, Arthur knew a fellow who was fascinated by the field of ufology, Graham Lightfoot." Graham, with what was to become typical thoroughness, used the somewhat sketchy coordinates he got from Arthur Bray to not only pinpoint the 'UFO crash-site' near Manion Comers, but also locate a number of witnesses. One of those witnesses, Diane Labanek. claimed that on the night of November 4th 1989, she saw an intense. bright light pass overhead, heading towards a swamp at the far end of the field behind and south of her home. She said she also saw several helicopters earlier that evening using bright lights to scan the area. Another West Carlton resident recalled that that was the weekend when some cattle escaped from a nearby pasture and that it took till late Sunday to round them up. A couple told Graham about the wife being scared by a very bright light shone through their south-facing bathroom window. "It reached right down our hallway!". The wife also mentioned that she vaguely remembered hearing the sound of helicopters at the time. Others talked of "dogs and cattle being disturbed". Many people could think of absolutely nothing unusual happening during the course of the weekend, including a couple who had a telescope set-up. Graham reported those findings to Arthur Bray, along with results of his examination of the field and swamp behind Labanek's home - there were no signs on the ground, anywhere, of the heavy equipment that would be needed to recover a 'crashed craft'. His report closed with, "although I could find nothing conclusive to support or disprove any of the witnesses claims I shall check back around the area later this summer." The same Guardian material had been sent to several other investigators, researchers and UFO groups and as the story spread, both the former Provincial Director of MUFON Ontario Clive Nadin, and the current Quebec Director Christian Page, visited the area on separate occasions, and spoke to the 'witnesses' They confirmed Graham Lightfoot's initial findings and agreed with Tom 8 Harry at CUFORN that someone was "trying to put us on -a hoax!" Guardian re-surfaces - 1991 In the middle of October 1991 CUFORN began receiving more Guardian 'information' via the mail and all postmarked 'Ottawa'. An envelope with some documents that mention a 'conspiracy' between the Chinese and 'Gray Aliens that are planning to take over the world', arrived first. Then came a Polaroid photograph of a 'UFO' flying across an unidentified road. A while later came a black & white picture of a gray-type 'Alien'. The fourth delivery in the series was a package. It contained the now infamous VHS video tape with a green label on the cassette, with a thumb print and the word GUARDIAN printed on the label. There were also three playing cards in the package, all with hand written notes on them - an Ace, King and Joker. A photo-copied map showed the 'Gray's landing area', along with notes explaining that the flares in the video were used to help the UFO, which can out maneuver anything on the planet, fly under the radar and know where to land! There were also 'Canadian Department of National Defense documents' enclosed - which, upon later investigation, proved to be forgeries. These 'documents', it is thought, were designed to look like the official documents on UFOs that Canadian UFO author/researcher Stanton Friedman acquired, via 'The Freedom of Information Act', from the United States Government. The video - a few minutes long - showed two different angles of what Guardian alleges was an 'alien craft', on the ground. First, a long shot of bright lights clumped together to the right of the scene and what looked like four red emergency road flares or fires in barrels on the left side of the screen. The second scene showed the same clump of bright lights from approximately the same distance but more to the center without any flares and the sound of a single dog barking in the distance. The third scene was only three frames long and was a close-up of a pair of wipers half-way across a very Earth-bound vehicle! CUFORN pondered what to do with all the Guardian information that arrived in October of '91 and decided, that in view of the season - winter, that they would hold off visiting Carlton until after the spring run-off. Enter Oeschler At the beginning of March '92, Bob Oeschler (pronounced Bob Ex-ler) an American MUFON investigator - who describes himself a 'former NASA mission specialist' - called CUFORN from his home in Maryland. Apparently, he too had received a video and documents from Guardian, although when comparisons of the two videos were discussed, his had an additional scene - a somewhat closer one minute shot of the 'alien craft'. His version also had a couple of minutes worth of the windshield, plus several still shots of the 'Gray Aliens'. The most important difference, however, was that his version of the tape had no audio-track at all - "it seems it was intentionally removed', says Tom Theofanous. Oeschler had shown the tape to Bruce Macabbe and they agreed that what they saw was a UFO and should be investigated further- and that's why Oeschler called Tom at CUFORN. They agreed they would meet in Carlton, Ontario on May 10th 1992. Tom then called and spoke with Graham Lightfoot, for the first time, and Graham agreed to act as guide for the May meeting. It transpired that Graham worked for The O.F.A - The Ontario Federation of Agriculture - and knew the Carlton area and Its farmers well. The First Visit On May 10th, Mother's Day, 1992 Torontonians, Tom & Lise Theofanous, Victor Lourenco, Vaughn Killin, Drew Williamson, Harry Tokarz and Wayne St. John met with Oeschler, his son and Graham Lightfoot at the motel the Oeschlers were staying at in West Carlton, near Ottawa, Ontario. They all had breakfast together as Oeschler told many, many fascinating stories. Eventually they ended up in Oeschlers motel room to compare their copies of the Guardian video. "Oeschler, despite being an expert in video analysis, had a great deal of difficulty connecting my video camera up to the TV set in his room so that we could play back the Guardian videos. In retrospect, his combination of technical ineptness and more story telling seemed to be a stalling tactic", said Tom. Eventually, the group set off in a convoy of vehicles to examine the area depicted in Guardian's map. They stopped at a spot off Highway 7 near Manion Corners and Graham pointed out the direction from which the 1989 'UFO' had come when it 'crashed', and where the Labenek's house was in relation to where the group was standing Oeschler seemed to be stalling once more, shooting video of everything. Finally, they set off again. "This time Oeschler took the lead, with me following him and Graham who's supposed to be our guide following me!" Tom says. "I thought at the time that this was pretty odd. How did Oeschler, who supposedly had never been to Canada let alone this area before, know his way, using side roads and making the correct turns toward our destination?" Earlier, Oeschler had asked the Toronto group to check for anomalies on their compasses while they were driving, because the Guardian papers described magnetic changes in certain parts of the area the group was traveling in. "So, we're driving down a small hill when Oeschler braked suddenly up ahead of us, stopped and came back to our car to tell me that he had found an anomaly on his two compasses, Tom recounts, "now, he had both of his laying in the back of his pick-up on the metal floor where they were bouncing around. His son was keeping an eye on them from the cab. I told him that the three compasses, we were holding in the palms of our hands, in our car didn't waver at all. But, he insisted that he'd go back up the hill, by himself, and check again." While the rest of the group stood around waiting for Oeschler, Drew Williamson noticed a Stop-sign at the end of a long driveway leading to an abandoned farmhouse with a For-Sale sign on it. Tom continues - "I looked through my binoculars at the Stop-sign and saw that it was propped up by rocks. There were other signs around it that read 'Do Not Enter' and 'DND Killing Fields'. The last one had pictographs of tanks helicopters and weapons on it and appeared to be riddled with bullet-holes. "So, out of curiosity, we went over to the signs and looked more closely." "We found tracks left by cars and what might have been four-wheeled vehicles, leading into the property. We felt that perhaps the field around the old farm house was being used for 'War Games' - or maybe even was the location used for the Guardian video." "Why? Because the terrain was perfect lots (200 acres) of open field. I also noticed a dog barking up at the house at the top of the hill." said Tom. This would become significant later in identifying the possible location of the Guardian video shoot. "Eventually, we continued along Corkery Road But, when I mentioned to Oeschler that we should be interviewing the people in the neighborhood we were passing, who were out sitting in their front gardens or working on their lawns, he insisted that we look for the 'crash' 'landing' sites." Guardian's map described an area about one and a quarter miles square, which consisted of dense, knee-high scrub, and wet, swampland. The group headed toward it, using a path beneath high-tension power transmission lines that cut across below the southern end of the Labenek's property. Most of them had great difficulty with the rough conditions and became very tired, annoyed by biting mosquitoes and soaked by the swampy ground. They gave about a half way into the swamp and headed back to the back to the parking lot. Tom picks up the story again: "Bob and his son continued to look for the landing site as the rest of us left the swamp in a couple of different groups. Lise, Drew, Wayne and I left first and drove off looking for a drink of cold pop." "When we got back to the parking lot twenty minutes later, the second group out had left a note on our windshield saying they'd meet us at a restaurant twenty minutes away in Carp. We left a note on the Oeschler's truck windshield telling them where we'd be. "The first of our group to arrive at the restaurant ordered their food and twenty minutes later the rest of us arrived and placed our orders." "Thirty minutes later, as Oeschler and his son were walking through the door, I jokingly said: I bet he'll say he found the spot!" "As he sat down, I asked him what had happened. He smiled and said he'd found the spot." "I asked how he'd managed to do that when we'd left him a about a mile from his car in a dense swamp halfway to the alleged site and it was getting dark. There simply hadn't been enough time to get there examine the 'site' and get back out to his truck and drive to the restaurant. He just smiled, but didn't answer." After they finished their dinner, Drew, Victor and Vaughn decided to leave for Toronto. Graham suggested that the remainder should go talk to the Labeneks, and he and Harry left ahead of Tom & Lise and the Oeschlers, since Oeschler senior was still eating. The seven of them would meet at the comer by the Labeneks. "Lise, Wayne and I confronted Oeschler out in the parking lot, where the three of us had gone to discuss the days events privately." "I asked him what he was trying to pull here. He responded by asking "what's wrong with trying to make a buck?", I answered that there was nothing wrong with making money as long as we didn't compromise our ethics." "Oeschler came back with: "No matter what or how good the story is, 50% of the people will believe you, 50% won't. All you have to care about is the 50% that will". "It was at that point", recalls Tom, "that I decided to back away from the investigation for a while to see what Oeschler would do." They joined the others at Manions Corner by the Labeneks house - Graham had knocked on their door but there was no one home. So, they waited, enjoying a pleasant early summer evening, talking . The Labeneks didn't get home till after 10 p.m., which the group felt was late to do an interview. Graham and Oeschler would come back in the morning and talk to them. Tom finishes up this part of the story: "I told Graham about the conversation that I had in the parking lot of the restaurant with Oeschler, after he left the restaurant. Then Lise, Harry, Wayne and I left for Toronto, shaking our heads." End of Part One. --- Tom Theofanous was an investigator with CUFORN, in Toronto, from 1987 to 1992. He and his wife, Lise, have been with MUFON Ontario since then. Tom is now MUFON's Provincial Assistant Director for Ontario. --- Added Bonus: THE ORIGINAL GUARDIAN DOCUMENTATION The Alleged Crash/Retrieval of the 11/89 "Alien Starfighter" Canadian and American Security Agencies are engaged in a conspiracy of silence, to withhold from the world the alien vessel seized in the swamps of Corkery Road, Carp, in 1989. UFO sightings in the Ontario region had intensified in the 1980's, specifically, around nuclear power generating stations. On Nov. 4, 1989 at 20:00 hrs Canadian Defense Dept. radars picked up a globe shaped object traveling at phenomenal speed over Carp, Ontario. The UFO abruptly stopped, and dropped like a stone. Canadian and American Security Agencies were immediately notified of the landing. Monitoring satellites traced the movements of the aliens to a triangular area. (see aerial map) off Almonte and Corkery Roads. The ship had landed in deep swamp near Corkery Road. Two AH-64 Apaches and a UH40 Blackhawk headed for the area the following night. The helicopters carried full weapon loads. They were part of a covert American unit that specialized in the recovery of alien craft. Flying low over Ontario pine trees the Apache attack choppers soon spotted a glowing, blue, 20 meter in diameter sphere. As targeting lasers locked-on, both gunships unleashed their full weapon loads of 8 missiles each. All 16 were exploded in proximity bursts 10 meters downwind from the ship. The missiles were carrying VEXXON, a deadly neuroactive gas which kills on contact. Exposed to air the gas breaks down quickly into inert components. Immediately after having completed their mission the gunships turned around, and headed back across the border. NOW the Blackhawk landed, as men exploded from its open doors. In seconds the six man strike team had entered the UFO through a 7 meters hatchless, oval portal. No resistance was encountered. At the controls, 3 dead crewman were found. With the ship captured, the US Air Force, Pentagon, and Office of Naval Intelligence were notified. Through the night a special team of technicians had shut-down and disassembled the sphere. Early the next morning Nov. 6, 1989 construction equipment and trucks were brought into the swamp. The UFO parts were transported to a secret facility in Kanata, Ontario. As a cover story the locals were informed that a road was being built through the swamp. No smoke screen was needed for the military activity as Canadian forces regularly train in the Carp region. Officially nothing unusual was reported in the area. Although someone anonymously turned in a 35mm roll of film. It was received by the National Research Council of Canada, in Ottawa. The film contained several clear shots of an entity holding a light. (see photo) At this time the photographer is still unidentified. The humanoids were packed in ice and sent to an isolation chamber at the Univ. of Ottawa. CIA physiologists performed the autopsies. The reptilian, fetus-headed beings, were listed as CLASS 1 NTE's. (Non Terrestrial Entities) Like others recovered in previous operations, they were muscular, gray-white skinned, humanoids. The ship was partially reassembled at the underground facility in Kanata. Unlike previous recoveries this one is pure military. Built as a "Starfighter it is heavily armed and armored. In design no rivets, bolts, or welds were used in fastening, yet when reconstructed there are no seams. The UFO itself is made up of a matrixed dielectric magnesium alloy. It is driven by pulsed electromagnetic fields generated by a cold fusion reactor. All offensive capabilities utilize independently targeting electronic beam weapons. In the cargo hold were found ordnance racks containing fifty Soviet nuclear warheads. Their purpose was revealed by advanced tactical/combat computers located in the flight deck. Threatened by recent East-West relations, and the revolutionary movements within itself, Red China is preparing for the final ideological war. The aliens have agreed to defend China from the free world's combined military and nuclear forces. At this time China is arming the Middle East with their own nuclear arsenals, in order that they can successfully take on Israel. Unifying the Arabs under one Chinese command was simple, especially with Israel's recent "iron fist" attitude toward occupied territories. The Soviet warheads found in the UFO were destined for Syria. CIA operatives in the Middle East have noticed huge movements of Chinese "technicians" and "advisors". China is also supplying the Arabs with bacteriological agents, Migs, Hind gunships, tanks, and missile launchers. The use of "Soviet" instead of "Chinese" nukes is part of a disinformation campaign to break up East-West relations after the annihilation of Israel. The Warheads were hijacked from Soviet subs in the Dragon's Triangle. A section of alien controlled Pacific once frequented by Russian subs. After losing some 900 high yield warheads and 13 vessels, commanders were ordered to steer clear of the area. The most important alien-tech. find were the 2 millimeter, spheroid, brain implants. Surgical inserted through the nasal orifice the individual can be fully monitored and controlled. The CIA and Canadian Govt. have actively supported mind-slave experiments for years. Currently the Univ. of Ottawa is involved in ELF wave mind control programs. A continuation of the CIA psychological warfare project known as MKULTRA, started at the Allen Memorial Institute in Montreal. Using ELF signals transmitted at the same wavelength the human brain uses, the researchers could subliminally control the test subject. The alien implants utilize the same principles except that the whole unit is subminiaturized and contained in the brain. Fortunately the implants can be detected by magnetic resolution scanning technology. All individuals implanted by the aliens are classified as ZOMBIES. The ZOMBIES have been programmed to help overthrow Mankind in the near future. When China finishes with Israel it will invade Europe. At the same time Chinese spacebased bacteriological weapons will be launched at the Arctic. The winds will carry the diseases into Russia and North America. In days 100's of millions will be dead. survivors will have to deal with Chinese, aliens, and the ZOMBIES. The aliens want all out war so that human resistance would be minimal, when they invade. They tried this same tactic once before with Nazi Germany. Most of the scientific advances we have today came from German science which was based on alien technology. Had Hitler won the war, the earth would have become a concentration camp. In order to depopulate the continents for the aliens. Data aboard the sphere explained why the aliens are so comfortable on our world. They preceded man on the evolutionary scale by millions of years; created with the dinosaurs. Some 675 million years ago an interdimensional war destroyed most of their civilization. and forced them to leave the earth. Now they have chosen to reclaim what was once theirs. The alien forces with their Chinese and Arab allies will attack within the next 5 years. Waiting longer than that would make it impossible even for the aliens to reverse the ecological damage inflicted on the Earth by Man.
