Chris's Message

Hi everyone......

I writing between meetings to share a couple of important and timely notes.....

I'm so very sad to share that long-term RUFOS member Lainey Ebright passed away on September 14.
Her husband, Mike Hock, and her stepson, Ben Hawk, shared information with me regarding upcoming celebrations of life planned for Lainey. The attached document contains Lainey's full obituary which can also be viewed at the following link along with a wonderful photo of her:
https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/worthington-oh/elaine-dehays-ebright-13038765
Mike had kindly shared that the Roundtown UFO Society was significant beyond words to Elaine.
Please note that there is a Celebration of Life scheduled on October 1 in Worthington and another in Circleville on October 2 in the late morning at Starkey Pavilion, Mary Virginia Crites Hannan Park, 1230 Pontius Rd, Circleville, OH 43113. Please check the link above for details regarding specific time TBD.
If you would like to reach out to Mike with a personal note, please let me know and I'll send contact info privately (I'm very cautious about sending personal info in unencrypted email.)

And then we wanted to share a short note regarding our October meeting........
We're planning our annual "Sky Watch" outing at Canal Park on October 8 in lieu of our regular meeting at the American Legion. This will be a potluck outdoor event. There's plenty of picnic tables in the shelter and it's a nice park to take a walk if the weather is cooperative. Specific details to follow next week.....

Kind regards....

I have to make this email quick so I'm not going to post many recent topics of interest but there are a few items I would like to share now:
Sadly, we lost a dedicated RUFOS member earlier this year and we just learned of his passing. We'll miss Jim Davis. Please see his obituary at: https://www.wellmanfuneralhomes.com/obituaries/james-davis?ttm_pid=210670805&ttm_affiliate=legacypro&ttm_affiliatetype=standard&ttm_campaign=legacy
I've made publicity cards for RUFOS. If you would like a few to share, Cameron or Julia may bring some to the September meeting. Otherwise, I'll bring a bunch to the October meeting to share.
Check MUFON of Ohio page for upcoming events that Tom Wertman (MUFON State Director for Ohio) is hosting at various locations around the state.
I learned about this free online event this morning that is due to occur September 12. I can't really speak to event as I've not seen/heard their previous conferences and I really only recognize a couple of their speakers but might be worth a listen. For more information see the link: https://www.anomacon.com/
Do you have any topics of particular interest you would like to know more about and discuss at future meetings? Please let us know. 🙂

There are two time-critical items that I want to share now:
Dayton UFO Conference takes place this coming Saturday, July 11! Details are available at the link below under the events.
Is some kind of announcement coming on July 8?? There are tons of rumors flitting about regarding some kind of announcement or release or other significant event that could occur in conjunction with the 79th anniversary of the Roswell "flying disc" press release. Keep a watch on the various UAP-related news outlets tomorrow just in case. Personally I expect nothing will happen but I'm sharing just in case.

Here are a few recent topics we'll likely cover during the meeting if time permits:
Confirmation of monoliths on the moon? (Wow....was "2001: A Space Odyssey" yet another documentary??)
The Department of War Third UAP "PURSUE" File drop from June 12
Disclosure Forum June 25 synopsis
June 24 "Reality Under Revision" from The Visible College hosted in Georgetown VA
Mk-Ultra hearing results from June 30
Latest crop circle info from UK
The release of 30 USAF UFO related files to National Archives site.....and then quickly disappeared.
They're still available tho at:
https://hm05uap.substack.com/p/air-force-records-appear-and-disappear
Disclosure Day movie coming out on streaming through Amazon Prime August 1
ODNI UAP file release governance board and establishment of scientific review panel
The growing divide over controlled vs catastrophic disclosure and the people involved
Vanguard Enterprises
Rolling Stone report of Bigelow push for disclosure through Robert Kennedy Jr.
Of course the latest with Skinwalker Ranch Season 7 so far....
And more!

7 Seconds of weightlessness... Could it be true? What would be the effects here on TerraFirma?

Here is the Dayton UFO Conference Schedule of events and speakers for July 11, 2026

I hope to see some you there / Ed Copley

06/25/2026

CE-5 field event / Alum Creek, Ohio / 04/25/2026. The IR camera was about 150 ft away watching the CE-5 group. The recording started at 20:25. Shortly after we started the meditation there was like a brief smoke or fog that seemed to pass in front of the camera going from right to left at 20:41:07. It appeared to be translucent as it did not block the image. At about 20:41:20 there was some type of interference that caused the image to flutter. This continued for about 3 minutes then the camera continued to record normally. This flutter seems to happen at our CE-5 events shortly before or after we start the meditation. The camera records for about 4 hours at every event without issues. It seems to coincide with the timing of the meditation. At 20:45:30 there is a small light / orb that starts to appear at the camera tripod. Under the camera is a speaker playing CE-5 related tones. The orb / light seems to fade in and out for several minutes. At 20:55:10 watch what happens. The person on the left is taking out her phone camera to take some pictures of the sky. At the same time the light / orb has been dark, and it comes on at its brightest intensity. It was almost like the light / orb was reacting to the person’s activity. 29 seconds later it went off. The camera continued recording until 21:17 when it froze on one image for five minutes. On the play back there is an image recorded on the timeline, but it was a frozen image. If anyone has experienced anything like this, I would appreciate hearing about it. It did seem like there was some type of interference with the recording during this CE-5 event. I also took some 6 second exposure still photos. Watch for a later post showing any results on them.
