Sixth annual Walk for Hope

The battle against cancer starts with hope.

By Christina Stock Vision Editor

C

ancer, that ugly diagnosis that causes desperation, fear and heartbreak, touches almost everybody. Chances are high that you, the reader, have a friend, a family member or a colleague battling this illness right now. Cancer does not care if its victims are children, adults in their prime of life or the elderly. But we do have a weapon against it, even if one is not a doctor.

It is hope, hope and love given by the community.

On May 20 from 6 p.m. to midnight at Cielo Grande Park, 1612 W. College Blvd., community members will come together to raise money, honor cancer survivors and help those who need assistance with practical needs during their cancer treatment.

All profits go to the Chaves County Cancer Fund, a 501(c)3 organization that provides financial assistance to individuals diagnosed with cancer who reside in Chaves County.

Everybody working on site and behind the scene are volunteers donating their time and energy to this worthy cause.

Organizers Wanda Porter and Rita Kane-Doerhoffer are expecting a great outcome again. “It is very positive event. Everybody looks forward

to it. Everybody has fun. It is just a fun family friendly event. Last year we made $82,000. Since the inception we raised a total of $320,000,” said Kane-Doerhoffer.

The event does not permit smoking or alcohol. “If you bring your dog, it has to be socialized and on a leash.

You have to have bags to remove droppings,” said Kane-Doerhoffer.

“There will be security and K9 units present.”

There is a lot of passion that inspires people to step up and help.

Teams had time to sign up by April 1 and come up with a fundraising project they will sell or present at the various booths during the event.

Some teams will have sweet or savory food items, others art and craft items.

There will be a donation table with items sponsored by local businesses and individuals to be raffled off. Some businesses are displaying pink paper links for fundraising. There will be no commercial vendors at the event.

“Every team sells something,” said Kane-Doerhoffer. “I sell my baked goods, And I run out at about 9 p.m., because I start really early in the morning. In fact I had to make batches and batches because Sertoma is buying them from me.”

There will be entertainment by Joey Uranga (Amazon DJ), and the honored guest speaker is going to be Sara

Barazza.

“The whole point is fundraising,” said Porter. “To raise money for the CCCF. Both Walk for Hope and CCCF are total volunteer-based organizations.”

“We do not get paid for what we do and we are there from 8 a.m. until 1 a.m. in the morning when all the trash gets picked up,” said Kane-Doerhoffer.

“When somebody is going through chemo or cancer treatment, we step up and help to pay their rent or mortgage or utilities, groceries, things that they are worried about. That is the purpose behind it, to help people,” said Kane-Doerhoffer.

“They need to focus all their energy on fighting the disease, not worrying on how they are going to pay for things,” said Porter. “There are all kinds of fundraising and support in town, which makes it so special that so many people in our community understand that devastation from cancer and how it affects families. And the people in our community have such interest in getting together and supporting fellow human beings that live in their community,” she said.

There also will be battery-operated luminaries available that can be

purchased in honor of someone or in memory of someone. People can decorate them or purchase them decorated. “We want to light up the entire pathway with luminaries,” said Kane-Doerhoffer. The cost is $5 each.

“Cancer survivors should be there to pick up their shirts by 5:30 p.m. or ahead of time at Kymera,” said Porter.

“Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell is going to feed the survivors and caregivers this year.”

“The city is one of our biggest sponsors and they are giving us Cielo Grande free,” said Kane-Doerhoffer.

“They are giving us the stage and sound equipment, a 40 x 40 tent, the bleachers, an electrician will be there and support staff, barrels, cones, tables, chairs, things like that, so the city is really supporting us.”

“I want to say a big thank you to all committee members because they all pour in so much time and effort and it is so appreciated. Because they are doing it out of their own free will and their love. We have 18 committee members,” said Porter.

It is not too late to help. “You can donate anything, even if it is a white elephant out of your closet,” said see

Golf for the Walker Aviation Museum Sixth annual golf tournament takes place.

By Christina Stock Vision Editor olfers will soon have the chance to win $10,000 and many other prizes while raising money for the Walker Aviation Museum.

This is the major fundraiser of the Walker Aviation Museum Foundation. “This year the tournament falls on the Armed Forces Day,” museum board member Bob Donnell said. “It is a perfect way to thank our troops and appreciate those who served. The Army, Marines and the Air Force contributed in give-away items and the New Mexico National Guard will participate.

“Special signs and

G

banners are going to be made for the sponsors.

You can honor a family member who was in the service with those signs.

Last year we had more than 10 individual signs made. May 15 is the cutoff for signages,” Donnell said.

Jim Landfair is also a museum board member. “Some take those signs with them to display on the 4th of July and then return them at the next WAFM golf tournament,” he said.

The foundation started the golf tournament when they opened the museum six years ago. “We needed a steadier income, so we

decided on a golf tournament.” Donnell said.

This year they have additional expenses. “We have hired three part time employees at the museum to keep it longer open,” Donnell said. “They are acting as docents, welcoming people, answering questions and explaining details about the WAM. With their help we can have the museum six days open from Monday thru Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. with free admission.”

The WAM’s goal is to educate, especially children and students. The foundation members hope to expand into the college to educate about aviation. “We want to show that there is an industry with a rich history in town: Aviation industry where they can work,” Donnell said.

The golf tournament ends at noon with lunch.

We have many volunteers and sponsors

“Food is very important and we have the b e s t, ” W A M FM Ju dy Armstrong agreed.

“There will be donuts from Mama Tucker’s, burritos and sausages, Mike McLeod of Xcel Engergy brings sausage wraps, Farmer’s Market provides water and soft drinks, Donnell said. “For lunch two sponsors step up to help. The Roswell Meat Market provides the ground beef and Los Cerritos Restaurant prepares them with all the fixings.”

“We enjoy the tournament,” said Armstong. Title sponsor is AerSale. There will be also prizes for the longest drive for men and for women.

There is no age limitation. “If they can hold a club, pay the fee, they can play,” said Donnell. There will be also see

7:30 a.m. The races start at 8 a.m.

“The race goes down College Ave , then half a mile on Red Bridge Road and back to the zoo,” said Edwards. “Security will be there and water stations.” Friends of the Zoo, the Spring River and Park zoo staff, the New Mexico Youth ChalleNGe Academy, Chaves County Search and Rescue, and Pecos Valley Amateur Radio will volunteer during the race.

“The profits benefit the Spring River Park and Zoo to use as needed,” said organizer Bob Edwards. Roswell’s zoo is the only park and zoo in New Mexico that does not charge entry fees.

Spring River Park covers about 34 acres of parkland with five main zoo areas located on the grounds. These areas include the Capitan Trail featuring native animals; the Children’s Zoo area with child-friendly animals for close-up viewing; the visitor service area with the concession booth, miniature train and antique wooden-horse carousel; the ranching heritage exhibit and the developing World Safari Exotics area.

The new Roswell Film Festival A new date, new concept and new technology.

By Christina Stock Vision Editor

T

he Roswell Film Festival will take place from May 18 to 21. Showings of the nominated short films and feature movies will be at Galaxy 8 Theatres at the north mall. There is limited seating and the organizer, Donovan Fulkerson, suggests arriving early.

“We have an open door for documentaries, sci-fi, horror/thriller, comedy, action/adventure and drama,” said Fulkerson. More than 90 movies from all over the U.S. and overseas were submitted, and at press time 10 directors with their cast and crew had indicated that they would come to Roswell for the event.

The new website

has a schedule-app that is compatible with tablets and smart phones. “Register as attending and sync with your friends,” Fulkerson explained. Guests can sign up with their Facebook accounts or with their email addresses.

“Once you’ve signed in, you can add the color-coordinated events and films you want to see to your own schedule and network with your friends,” Fulkerson said. “There are two workshop panels available with limited seating, so it is important to sign up with the app.”

The schedule and ticket information are available at roswellfilmfestival.com. Tickets are $20 per day or $50 for a pass to all competing films.

Special guest of honor

is actor, musician and director John Schneider, best known for the show “The Dukes of Hazzard” and recently for writing and producing his own movies. Schneider will receive the Roswell Film Festival Lifetime Achievement Award.

The awards this year are in form of metal art sculptures by Metal Mark Eclectics.

“This year the film festival will happen on three days. Next year it will expand to five days,” said Fulkerson.

“I want activities centered around the film festival. Theater, art, panels, events that will cause traffic and raise tourism. We want to see people out of town,” he said. “I opened a company around the film festival (Relicwood Media). I am that invest-

ed and committed to it.

Foundational sponsors are Relicwood Media, Galaxy 8 Theatres and the city of Roswell. The restaurant Galactic Sushi is an awards sponsor and the location for the celebrity meeting with Schneider. Special rates for out-of-town visitors are available at Candlewood Suites.

The date for 2017 is already set. It will be the last weekend in April, Wednesday through Sunday. Sponsorships for different categories are available.

“I believe in this business,” Fulkerson said.

“My family has been here since the ‘30s. I am here to make movies. I had no other reason to come here. Yes, I believe in Roswell.”

Fulkerson is on the New Mexico Film advisory foundation board, member of the Leadership Roswell alumni association and part of the Roswell Museum and Art Center board of trustees.

When Donald finally becomes both physically and mentally present, we realize just how close and attached he and the love of his life, Margie, really are. see

If these adobe walls could talk

One hundredth anniversary of Troop 2, Boy Scouts of America.

By Christina Stock Vision Editor

I

magine the year 1916. New Mexico was a different place. The U.S. had not yet entered into World War I (that would happen in 1917). President Woodrow Wilson had been in office three years and, in retaliation against the attack of Pancho Villa on the small New Mexican border town of Columbus, 150,000 U.S. soldiers were sent into Mexico.

That included Roswell’s Regiment A of 296 men, followed by the U.S. 7th and 10th Cavalry regiments under John J. Pershing.

Later that year President Wilson incorporated the Boy Scouts of America. At that time, Roswell was producing millions of apples for the U.S. (The orchards

were all destroyed in the freeze of the ‘30s.) The same year the brothers Cobean opened Cobean Stationery Co. in Roswell.

According to the documents of the Roswell Troop 2, Boy Scouts of America and the book “Saga of Potato Canyon”

by Minor S. Huffman, that was also the year Boy Scout Troop 2 was started by Sunday school teacher Tomlinson Fort of the South Methodist Church in Roswell. Her husband, Tom Fort, was volunteered by her to be the Scout Master.

The original scouts were Tom Fort Jr., Elmer Egglesten, Herbert Dimmit, Ted and Harry Brough, Wendell Doty, George Jewett Jr., Pruit Denning, Adolph Wilson, Joe and Jim McKnight, Carl Bird, Louis Heisig, Don and Minor Huffman, Bob Fall, Hinton and

Paul Wilmot, and Robert Hamilton.

In 1921 the Methodist conference bought land near the village of Weed, in Aqua Chiquita canyon.

For several years, young people’s assembly was held at the Boy Scout camp in Potato Canyon (now Camp Wehinahphay) until completion of the Sacramento Methodist Assembly. The camp is still used today.

In 1922, Troop 2 was the first group of Boy Scouts to tour the Carlsbad Caverns. Jim White, lowered the scouts down the main shaft 180 feet in a bucket, two at a time, where they got to spend the night exploring the caves. Today, Troop 2 still goes to the Carlsbad Caverns.

The Boy Scout council, which is now known as the Conquistador council, began in 1924 and Minor Huffman of

Troop 2 became the first council executive. The council began with five troops, four were from Roswell. Today only one of the original troops remain, Troop 2. The troop is located at 806 N. Missouri Ave. It was built in 1937 on reclaimed land from the river.

It was expanded in the 1970s when the troop had more than 100 scouts, adding patrol and storage rooms to the one-room adobe building.

In the late ‘80s, Troop 2 was facing a crisis.

“Troop 2 was going to lose their charter,” Juliana Halvorson remembers. Her late husband John was involved with police explorers then and had been a Boy Scout in the troop, earning his Eagle Scout. “The Council asked him to be scout master so they would not lose it. They didn’t want the oldest troop in the area — possibly the state — to lose their charter. We had many wonderful years as leaders in the troop. But alas, we had girls so we switched gears.”

In the ‘90s, Troop 2 made it into the national Boy’s Life magazine.

Throughout its 100 years of existence, Troop 2 has produced 81 known Eagle Scouts.

There could have been more, but the records of the ‘40s and ‘60s have been lost.

“Over the years the scouts in Roswell became teachers, oceanographers, military leaders, one became a forensic anthropologist and others became judges,” scout master David Hein said. “The father of painter Peter Hurd, Harold, organized Troop 1 in late 1915. Peter and his son Michael were scouts.”

The basic aims of a Boy Scout includes learning to take care of them-

selves, to be helpful to others, and to develop courage, self-reliance, and the will to be ready to serve in an emergency. The scouting movement has taught America’s youth to do their best at all times, to do their duty to “God and country,” to help others, and to prepare themselves physically, mentally and morally to meet these goals.

These goals are reflected in the Boy Scout oath and the boys achieved these goals with earning merit badges.

“These merits changed throughout our history,” scout master Hein said.

“We used to have more agrarian badges. Today it includes computer, vocations, robotic badges.” In total there are 147 merit badges. “Very few can get them all,” he said.

Assistant Scout Master Greg J. Nibert is an attorney in town. He got involved with the scouts when his son joined.

Scouts are boy-led.

“The older boys are re-teaching the skills they were taught and all are learning. The kids experience leading,” Nibert said. When parents volunteer for the first time to join the children during the camping excursions, they are in for a surprise. “The parents get educated. The boys are in charge, not the parents,” Nibert said.

“They learn how to build fires, cook, skills that hold up later. I used those skills when I joined the Air Force,” Hein said.

In the last 10 years the Boy Scouts of Troop 2 canoed through the Big Bend National Park in Texas. They braved numerous times the rapids of the Rio Pecos, dipped their paddles in Lea Lake and Elephant Butte. They climbed the lava beds at Valley of Fires and got sand in

their teeth reenacting the Bataan Death March at White and Mesquite Sands during the annual memorial march.

They walked the Walk to End Alzheimer’s and visited fellow citizens who have contracted this fatal disease. They place each year flags on veterans graves and are part of retiring Old Glory, honoring the flag and the veterans who defended it.

They learn what it means to be an U.S. citizen. And this coming Memorial Day, they will be posting flags at South Park Cemetery.

The public is invited to join the Boy Scouts of Troop 2 on May 14 and celebrate its 100th anniversary of Boy Scouting in Roswell, at 2 p.m. at the historic Scout Hut, 806 N Missouri Ave. For this special occasion metal artist Bob Goode created a new sign for the Boy Scouts.

“It’s going to be much easier to find us now,” said Hein.

The alumni will be there to reminisce about their days in Troop 2 and the most recent Boy Scouts will be there too.

To celebrate the centennial there a new troop flag will be displayed and commemorative coins with the Conquistador logo are available.

Every alumni gets one for free. Others pay $10 for the limited coins.

There will be also a patch available for $5.

The official celebration takes place at 4 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church, 200 N. Pennsylvania Ave. For more information, call Brenda Morrow at 575-626-4394 or Cassie Gross at 575-637-2514.

Living a dream making movies The movie ‘2 Years and 8 Days” is being filmed.

oswell Film Studios is filming its first movie in town. The crew of Thadd Turner started mid-April with production and will finish early May. This is the second picture carrying the name of the Roswell Film Studios, but the first one that is made and produced in its entirety in Roswell. “This is part of the plan, we are bringing infrastructure into the area,” Turner said. ”Everybody in Roswell is working with us, including businesses.

We put several $100,000 into the local economy,” he said.

Locations are in Roswell, Artesia, Ruidoso and the wide-open landscape of Chaves County. There are 30 local and New Mexican crew and cast members. The stars are Ryan Merriman

and Kayla Ewell from Los Angeles.

The production is funded entirely by private investors from all sectors of business. It is a 2 Years and 8 Days Production of Roswell Studios and Talmarc Productions. One of the producers and Talmarc partners is Thadd Turner.

His recent works include “Rodeo and Juliet,” which had one of its premieres at Galaxy 8 Theatre in Roswell in 2015.

The plot centers around John Grey (Ryan Merriman), who has been married for a little over two years. He doesn’t want a child yet, because he is still hoping to establish himself in his career. His wife, Samantha (played by Kayla Ewell), a successful radio advice-show host, is ready to start a family. Grey creates a problem for himself when he calls into her show as a Frenchman, Pierre, to talk about his

marital woes.

One of the actors with a deep connection to Roswell is Merritt C. Glover. She plays a supporting role, Kikki. Glover was born and raised in Roswell. She moved away when she was 13.

During the filming Glover is staying with her grandmother, Jean Glover. “We are having some granddaughter time,” she said.

Glover’s film career started in 1992, when Sam Shepard filmed the movie “Silent Tongue” just outside of Roswell.

Glover was only 7 years old when Shepard handpicked her as a prairie girl. “This was the first time that I thought: As an adult you can do this as a career,” Glover remembered. “My mom was known as a great teacher and was hired on set as a tutor. She asked if I could audition. She always said that I have been a performer out of the womb,” Glover said. “She was

looking for something for me to do to be able to express myself.”

The early ‘90s in Roswell did not offer a lot of choices in the performing arts. Working on the set with Shepard and River Phoenix left a lasting impression on Glover. “I was star-struck.”

“I am so grateful for playing “Kikki,” Glover said about her role in Turner’s movie. “This is a really big opportunity for me. I think she (Kikki) has a lot potential for comic relief.

“I was pretty shocked, hearing that I got the role. Being in Roswell feels like I’ve come full circle,” Glover said.

Glover has a message for anybody who dreams of becoming an actor: “Don’t be afraid to dream. A cliché, yes, but if it is where your heart is, do it. Show up, don’t give up on that dream.

That is our job as human beings, to follow our calling.”

The role of Phoebe is played by Texas-native Darcel Smith, now working out of Albuquerque. “I play a producer, a co-worker and friend and I am pregnant,” Smith said. She was told that Roswell is a tiny town. “But that is not really the case. It is bigger than I thought,” she said. “I love it. And it is so green.”

Local talent Amanda Vargas has been working the first time on a movie set. She was hired as assistant hair stylist and make-up artist.

Vargas owns Roswell’s Upper Edge Day Spa and Salon with her mother.

“It is exciting,” she said about her work on the set. “It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”

The writer of “2 Years and 8 Days” is Lenny Mesi. He has been in the industry 15 years. Mesi worked at the production level for Technicolor for eight years. Being on the

lot fueled his ideas for future scripts.

“I am grateful for Thadd,” Mesi said. “He loved the script (2 Years and 8 Days). If it wasn’t for Thadd, I wouldn’t be here. I am honored to be part of Thadd’s vision.

I am impressed by the location. Everybody is treating us great, the restaurants, the home and business owners.

We received a warm welcome,” Mesi said.

Mesi is working on two scripts for upcoming movies. “I would love to return here to make another film,” he said.

“I am forever grateful for Thadd giving me the start and I am loyal. If Thadd calls, I am here.”

Anybody who has ever worked in the film industry knows that the largest amount of work is tied to pre-production. Turner’s wife and son Wyatt have been helping.

“First you need to secure financing,” said Wyatt, “Then Screen Actors Guild paperwork, finding the talent, logistics, key crew positions and then the script has to be worked over.”

Turner’s son grew up on film sets. It is his second home, he said. “It is fun making movies. I have a wonderful father and mother. I am fortunate to grow up like I did. I was lucky.

“We love the support of the community,” Wyatt said about his parents’ move to Roswell.

“We are very fortunate.

Roswell is a good fit.”

Turner is pleased with the production of the new movie. The crew had only one day of delay because of heavy rain at the beginning of the filming and they fought the spring wind during the outdoor takes.

Turner explained how he cast the roles. “We held auditions in Roswell and Albuquerque.

Many have been working on shows such as

‘Longmire,’ ‘Nightshift,’ ‘Breaking Bad.’ “We have a professional and talented crew who are providing good quality work,” he said.

The movie should be done by November with its first release on the Internet. The premiere on cable TV should be in December or January, according to Turner.

Locals also can expect to see the finished movie on the big screen. “We are planning to have two screenings for the premiere,” Turner said.

“The city has been helpful in all parts and in finding locations,” Turner said. “One scene plays outside of the County Courthouse.

Businesses helped as well. Locations are Penn Plaza, Strata Production Company on Sycamore, Main Street, Stellar Coffee, Business Notions and Peppers Grill & Bar.” Turner was especially happy to find three homeowners who gave permission to film inside their houses. “One scene plays at a children birthday party. Children are harder to work with, and we have a little puppy included. He is cute and obeys all commands,” Turner jokingly said.

The crew also explored the town.

“Local restaurants were visited and the crew had fun at Billy Ray’s the other evening,” Turner said. “Locals will get used to seeing us on the streets, just as in Santa Fe and Albuquerque, where it is commonplace. We are just another industry in the area,” he said.

‘Fox’ by Agnes Miller Parker

From the Vault

Roswell Museum and Art Center

A

s a cultural institution, the Roswell Museum and Art Center is dedicated to the history and culture of the Southwest and beyond.

While the majority of the works in our collection pertain directly to the New Mexico region, when it comes to our holdings in prints, many of our works have a more international background, highlighting the unexpected connections that the Southwest shares with the larger art world. Such is the case with “Fox” by Agnes Miller Parker.

Originally from Scotland, Parker (18951980) spent the majority of her artistic career in London and southern Britain. She received her formal training from the Glasgow School of Art, where she became a staff member for a brief time. In 1918, she relocated to the London area after marrying the painter William McCance. While Parker did paint, she is best known today for her wood engraving illustrations, a printmaking technique that had

experienced something of a revival during the early 20th century. As with woodcuts, artists create wood engravings by carving out a design and printing the resulting relief, but wood engravings are made with more delicate tools, resulting in refined, detailed compositions.

Wood engraving was first developed in the 1790s by the English artist and illustrator Thomas Bewick (17531828), and became a popular means of creating newspaper and magazine illustrations in the nineteenth century.

Traditionally, engraving had been done on metals such as copper, but the proliferation of magazines and other printed materials in the 1800s encouraged publishers to embrace wood engraving as a less expensive approach to mass-producing detailed images. Photography eventually replaced wood engraving as a means of illustration, but the technique experienced a revival during the first half of the twentieth century as artists explored the creative potential of this medium.

Many of Parker’s wood engravings were

created as illustrations for books and poems, including “Aesop’s Fables,” “Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard” by Thomas Gray, and Thomas Hardy’s “Far From the Madding Crowd.” Parker’s wood engraving are particularly renowned for their sense of detail, fluidity, and texture, qualities that are all evident in “Fox.” Created in 1940, this print appears to have been made as an independent work of art rather than a literary illustration. The print depicts a fox resting in a forest setting, with tree roots framing the upper and lower sections of the scene. The fox is shown below our eye level, suggesting that the viewer is looking down at the animal. Parker’s ability to render precise details and different textures is particularly evident in her rendering of the fox’s coat, with the artist carving delineating individual hairs from the animal’s pelt. Despite this emphasis on detail, however, the piece is by no means static. On the contrary, the overall composition exudes a strong sense of movement, with the sweeping lines of the tree roots and soil complement-

With its balance between movement and stasis, abstraction and meticulous detail, “Fox” is exemplary of not only Parker’s technical skills with wood engraving, but also her compositional savvy as an artist, successfully moving the viewer’s eye around the composition while including ample nat-

uralistic details to prolong our interest.

“Fox” is currently on view in Horgan and Graphics Galleries as part of the exhibit What a Relief!, which highlights block prints from the RMAC collection.

This exhibit is on view until May 15, at which time we’ll be installing a video work by Taos artist Jean Stevens as part of the RMAC’s annual

collaboration with Currents, an annual festival of new media art that takes place in Santa Fe each June. If you haven’t had a chance to see What a Relief! yet, be sure to check it out before it comes down, and keep your eyes open for Currents this summer.

UFOlogy

MUFON: The Workhouse organization for UFO studies

Looking Up

T

here was a time when you would invite ridicule, derision, and worse if you said out loud to pretty much anybody, that you had seen an unidentified flying object. We’re not out of the woods altogether on that score, because some people still snort and roll their eyes at any mention of a UFO, and you may still tarnish your reputation or your social standing if you talk about weird stuff in the sky to the wrong people (per example to your boss or coworkers).

But this is changing. For one thing, tens of millions of people

By Donald Burleson

have seen UFOs, so if you’ve seen one, you have a lot of company! Of course, we UFO investigators all know that people may often be honestly mistaken about what they’ve seen, simply not recognizing some conventional object for what it was (a blimp, a lenticular cloud, a meteor, a helicopter, a drone, an airplane viewed at a funny angle, a flock of birds).

But we also know that some sightings can’t be explained in such a facile way, and that there is strong evidence that our skies have truly been visited by strange things. Sometimes we have radar reports of

airborne objects flying unconventionally, and increasingly we have photos taken by witnesses with their camera phones.

The reality of UFOs is well attested by the activities of MUFON, the Mutual UFO Network, which is the largest UFO investigative organization on the planet. I am pleased to be a part of this group and have been for many years now. We have thousands of members internationally, and an enviable wealth of human resources. The academic credentials on our membership lists would rival many university faculties.

Suppose I’m investigating a case involving crop circles and find that I need to tap into some expertise on the subject of botany. I’m a mathematician by profession, and plants aren’t my realm of knowledge. But all I would have to do is drop a quick email to MUFON headquarters and they would soon have me in touch with a botanist, or an expert in just about any field I need.

Conversely, if some other investigator needs a mathematician, well, you get the picture.

On many cases I’ve ended up doing computations to estimate

air speed, object size, altitude, and the like, based on information from witnesses.

Perhaps the strongest structural advantage, though, for MUFON is our online Case Management System. If someone files a UFO sighting report anywhere in New Mexico, HQ sends me, as State Director, an immediate email, and I assign the case to one of our exam-certified field investigators for follow-up.

We don’t always end up concluding that the sighting was genuinely anomalous, but we do listen thoughtfully and analytically to the wit-

ness and take the matter seriously.

All in all, we’re actively engaged in the pursuit of one of the great mysteries of our age.

Whether we will ever manage to solve it, only time will tell. We’re certainly going to try.
