MUFON is supposed to get with me about setting up some camera's.

So did MUFON ever get those cameras setup? Sure would like to see some photos.

Was also wondering if James Fox ever got back with you.... think you mentioned earlier contacting him?

[earthman]

Well, MUFON got back to me again last night. Here is the email. "Unfortunately our resources are limited. We have highly talented field investigators and all of us are volunteers. Many of us still have careers.

I am going to talk with our director about the frequency of your encounters, though, and see if there is anything we can do. As I said, though, I do appreciate your keeping me informed and the offers of help"

Not sure what to think about mufon. Looks like They just don't have cameras or equipment to really do an investigation. James Fox never got back to me. Don't know why. He has always got back to me with In hours.... I thought he would be on it. Makes me wonder if these folks really care or not. That's why I think WE need to put together a mobile team for sighting like this.

MUFON doesn't have the resources. Any expenses for an investigation, usually comes out of the Investigator's own pocket. We don't have cameras to use in the field. Any image analysis you see coming from MUFON, is on photos and videos taken by the witness, with the witness' own camera.

I thought they had more resources then that. Wish I could rent some camera equipment.

That is why many think the government should be conducting UFO studies, with a suitable budget.
MUFON is a private org picking up the slack best they can since Uncle Sam bailed...

The problem with that is, the government wants to cover it up.

The problem with that is, the government wants to cover it up.

What is needed is a public organization of very transparent and well organized public citizens, like what Ralph Nader started, but with a strong council form of organization without the cult leader to mess it all up. The problem is that the "male" gets all into it and leadership gets to being a cult and ego trip for the leader. The problem with Nader's groups became Nader.

My point was, MUFON does not receive public funds.
Hence the limited resources.

In a perfect world Project Blue Book would have continued and grown with public suppport.
Maybe even gaining a critical mass, forcing disclosure.
Hey, I can dream can't I?

Indeed, I can try out my new Galaxy S3. I hear it has a good camera.

The camera is not bad (I have one), be sure to turn off the flash (if it is night time) and find a way to keep it steady (find a surface to rest it on... to limit shake).

Happy hunting!
