February 2025

WI, USA, Earth

Greetings, Earthlings…

My apologies as this issue is coming in the red hour, right at the last stroke before midnight, as the last speck of the wick burns out. I have been on a grueling journey of illness, recovery, new life path, job training, and more this month. It is all good and goes towards healing and conquering, but it has dug into my work in this realm. No excuses, just explanation if we seem light on this issue.

Thank you as always to all of you. We saw some new engagement and subscribers this month, so please keep spreading the word. As long as this keeps growing, I’ll keep putting effort into it.

I don’t think I need to mention anything about the current climate of the world. It is ready to pop off and certainly ‘weird’ in many areas.

This issue will share some personal news, more news of the weird and strange, and an update on my memoir plans for 2025.

UFO Chronicles Podcast Appearance

In January, I was a guest on the podcast UFO Chronicles, hosted by Nik Hunter. For some reason, I forgot to share and link to it in last month’s issue. Old age? I talk about my experiences, 3:43 am, and more paranormal things. I really encourage you all to give it a listen. Nik was a gracious, kind, and amazing host, so I hope you pay him the honor of checking it out. He even made a nice little landing page for it and my book. Thank you sir and you if you check it out.

Check out the episode here.

Breaking the Silence Interview

A new friend connected me with the Breaking the Silence team. They did a quick call and decided they wanted to share my story on their channel over at YouTube. If you are brave enough, check out the comments on the thread of the video. I just reread the new ones from weeks ago. I had a heck of a time responding to all, but I did most that made sense to. These folks are amazing and helped me share my story with you all in a new format. All I really want to do is make others aware they may have experiences they write off as nothing much but if looked at as a whole can be evidence of something much stranger. Also, knowing you're not alone really helps lift that weight of isolation in this phenomenon.

So again, check it out, comment, and share. It was nerve-racking doing what I did, but it has set me free even more in a way. I do not believe my experience is a bigger deal than any others. I just decided to get vocal about it because I saw a lot of us folks being overshadowed by pre-ordained disclosure experts too close to the powers that be and our experiences being marginalized like yesterday’s milk. No, I want all of us to stand up and yell our names and that our experiences matter.

Alien UFO Podcast

Simon Bown and I connected in February after my BTS interview. We talked for quite a while and it was a lively discussion. I appreciate his questions as they were quite unique. The episode will release in the near future (week?). I’ll share when I see it is released.

Until then you can listen to other episodes here:

NUFORC Updates

While they did not have a post on new reports for February, NUFORC is always a good source for updated information.

In February, it lists 252 total reports globally: https://nuforc.org/subndx/?id=e202502.

Here is a highlighted one: https://nuforc.org/sighting/?id=187065.

Historical February UFO Stories (CUFOS Sourced)

• February 18, 2025, flights at Gaziantep Airport, Turkey, were brought to a standstill for an hour following reports of a UAP sighting at 10,000 feet. Pilots observed an unidentified object that failed to appear on radar, initially raising concerns about an unpermitted drone. However, the lack of radar confirmation has ignited further speculation within the aviation community. (Via IUFOB)

• February 4, 1954 — Carswell AFB, nr. Forth Worth, TX

  11:00 p.m. A target is detected by the Carswell AFB [now Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth] Ground Control Approach radar, near Fort Worth, Texas, at a distance of 13–15 miles to the southwest. A “mystery aircraft” passes over Carswell tower at just over 3,000 feet.

• February 5, 1967. Evening. A young man in Hilliard, Ohio, hears a strange noise and a barking dog. He looks up and sees an object approaching at a low altitude over a road shoulder. It lands on three legs in a field. The object is egg-shaped and about 75 feet long and 45 feet high.

• The World, Coos Bay, Oregon, Thu, Feb 25, 1915, Page 3

  

• February 19, 1951. 7:20 a.m. Capt. Jack Bicknell and Radio Officer D. W. Merrifield are flying a Lockheed Model 18 Lodestar aircraft out of Nairobi, Kenya, when they see a bright object hanging motionless about 10,000 above Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanganyika [now Tanzania].

• February 20, 1944. 2:30 a.m. Two guards of the 3rd Marine Division on Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands see what they first assume are the headlight beams of a truck coming from a swamp about three-quarters of a mile from their position. It moves laterally about 50 feet and they see it is a circular light about 50–60 feet long and 20 feet high.

• February 24, 1982. 5:15 a.m. Neillsville, Wisconsin, police officer Chuck Urban is patrolling 12 miles west of town when a bright light approaches him on his left. He stops his squad car, turns off his headlights, grabs a camera, and takes a picture that turns out poorly. He hears no sound from the object. The light follows him as he returns to Neillsville.

• February 26, 1993. 11:50 p.m. Jefferson County Air Unit police officers Kenny Graham and Kenny Downs are on helicopter patrol over General Electric Appliance Park in Louisville, Kentucky, when Graham sees something like a small fire off to his left. Downs shines his spotlight on the light, which begins to drift back and forth as the spot washes over it.

• February 28, 1971. Michel M. Jaffe embarks on a motorcycle ride from his home in Mountain View, California, toward Bodega Bay. While riding near Hayward, Jaffe observes an unusual object consisting of two brilliant spheres, each about 12 inches wide, connected by a hazy white linkage, with a trailing link.
