UFO Photo Expert - MUFON Investigator - The Ken Pfeifer UDCC Interview

Today's post is with Ken Pfeifer, MUFON Investigator in NJ, and a man with perhaps one of the largest collections of `UFO' photos available in any blog on the web (now featured on the sidebar of UDCC). As Clockers know, I am now sharing selected offerings sent to UDCC by Ken too - something that may become a regularish feature around here on occasion.

But, a few days ago I asked Ken to consider some questions of interest to me and I hope UDCC readers. Both of those are below in this interview. My follow up questions are in RED - Look for Ken's follow up answers in the comments section.
====================
First Ken, thanks for agreeing to give me your responses to the questions I have for a chief MUFON investigator of a state chapter. And, indeed, my first question has to do with that role - could you explain it for my UDCC readers?

question 1.....Chief Investigator duties include overseeing and assigning cases to investigators.  MUFON N.J. has aprox 12 investigators today.  When I started investigating for George Filer in 2006 , I was the only investigator.  People come and go because they think they want to investigate but find out its not for them.  After completing aprox 100 cases, George Filer wanted me to be the Chief Investigator and help him organize and streamline the investigating process. I also submitted articles to the Filer Files for Major Filer.

2) When Robert Bigelow was funding the what I call the `close encounters' reports - did anything change from your end? Are you more free or less free now that his money is not calling the shots?
question two ....when Bigelow was funding the deployments a few years ago, I was dispatched to New London Connecticut for three days. MUFON paid for my expenses and time. Now we do not have that luxury and I do not see many investigators volunteering for a deployment if it has to come out of theiir pockets. Gas alone is a big expense these days. We are all volunteers for MUFON.
I was referring more to the `type' of assignments? Oh, why would an investigation take three days?
question 2 .....Mr Bigelow was interested in high profile cases. MUFON would assign a "Star team" investigator to this kind of case. A ''star team'' investigator had to be approved my the State Director and also MUFON HQ. The Star team requirements was that an investigator had to have atleast 50 completed cases. Each case is approved by the State Director or the Chief Investigator. High profile cases included landings, abductions and cases that had many witnesses or high profile witnesses. An example would be the "Phoenix lights" type of case. MUFON HQ would determine which cases were worthy for this type of investigation.






3) What have been some of the most interesting findings you have had concerning NJ UFO reports - and, what patterns if any have you discovered potentially? What are people who see a UFO most interested in relating to you about their experience? Is there really a reason to `investigate' days later a temporal phenomena?

question three.....we have found out that a large majority of our ufo sightings are in the Hoboken area of New Jersey, including all of the towns in a radius of approximately 25 miles from Hoboken. The hudson river area between Manhattan and New Jersey is a hot spot.

Windy conditions are not very common in reference to UFO sightings. They are usually on calm days.
People are usually very serious about what they may of seen and they want answers. Most witnesses still feel funny about reporting a sighting and some are still afraid of being ridiculed. I usually tell them that its cool to see a UFO in todays world.
I feel its good to investigate days later and older sightings by witnesses. More people are coming out of the closet and reporting sightings from 40 years ago. We need to get this important information on paper and a case file created for the sighting. The more information we can gather, the better chance we have of figuring this mystery out.

4) Ken as you may know from reading UDCC I have deep views on the Orb phenomena - I like to hear your views on such matters as `are they crafts that are cloaked'? `are they `spirits'? `are they based on human intentionalities'? `have you seen someone `call an orb'? `what do you think of recurring Orbs in one location'?

question four............Personally , I feel that these orbs are unmanned drones for recon by alien spacecraft. I also feel some types of drones are paranormal. I do believe in the after life and have experienced a few strange incidents in my own home. Recurring orbs in one location is probably some kind of paranormal activity.
Ken, I also think that at least some sky Orbs are indeed some sort of recon by either alien spacecraft/entities or OUR own recon. Why do you lean `alien' on the drone/recon aspect?
question 4....I feel Orbs could also be our goverment spying on us or possibly be experimenting with this kind of surveillance for law enforcement purposes. Of course I do feel that most of these orbs are alien and used for recon and spying. Unmanned drones.




 
5) Most folks that get into all this have had a `sighting' of their own - if so - can you describe yours?



question five.....my first sighting was in 1974....my friend and i was coming home from a club in south jersey around 2 a.m. I was in the passenger seat and we were heading south on interstate 295 in the runnemede area. We just drove under an over pass and was heading home when all of a sudden i looked up and saw a very large glowing disc just above the thin cloud cover. The color was turquoise and it glowed. The sighting only last a couple seconds and we drove around for a few hours to see if we could find it again. My friend did not see it but he did believe me. The next day in the papers , Woodbury Daily Times, there was an article about a UFO sighting in the Deptford area and the policemen who saw the UFO. Our sighting was next to Deptford N.J. I lost the news paper over the years and the Woodbury Daily Times went out of business years ago. I have been a star gazer all of my life and have always wondered about life on other planets since i was a child.

6) Your opinion on `aliens'?

question six....my opinion on aliens.... I feel aliens have been around for millions of years. They have visited our planet countless times and I feel they have influenced our society in many ways. We are probably part of their d.n.a and I feel they could destroy our earth in a second if they wanted to. Alien abductions could be just their way of studying us and how we react to different things. I feel it is possibe that there is a evil race of alien visitors too. The Greys could be part of this evil alien race. This may explain the negative alien adbuction experiences many people have had over the years.
Here's my take Ken, I don't know if it will end up in a question or not, but feel free to respond. ---- Earth certainly has been an interesting place to visit for a few hundred million years and I would not be surprised if `aliens' have visited since then. On occasion. At least `representatives' of aliens such as recon craft. While I would NOT rule out the DNA connection - I think influence has been minimal at best, that most abduction experiences are perception structures, and that they COULDN'T defeat us in a day and that `evil' is a `type of space' and is unlikely to be ascribed to any `race of beings'. Just IMO stuff.
question 6.....I really feel we have been influenced by the alien presence for thousands of years. Reverse engineering from crashed alien craft has opened many doors and answered many questions about their technology. Personally I feel this earth has been here for a billion years and thousands of civilizations have come and gone from this earth. We are still digging up strange things that have been buried for thousands of years and findings things that are unexplainable. Crystal skulls, ancient batteries, large skeletons and enormous footprints that are millions of years old. The question is, when will it be our time to disappear.






7) Your opinion on if you think the UFO phenomena is `increasing'?

question seven....I do feel the UFO sightings have increased over the last year. I do realize that more people are coming out of the closet and admitting they have seen a UFO but I thing there is more activity throughout the world. I have seen an alarming increase of actual alien sightings.  (udcc emphasis) We may be very close to disclosure because our goverment is finding it hard to keeping the lid on the alien presence. Our news media seems to be coming around in reporting UFO sightings too. Personally I feel the News Media have been sequestered by the goverment in reporting UFO news. Maybe now, we are being prepaired, by our goverment, to hear the truth about alien existance.
Again, Ken, these are just my opinions - IMO we are not closer to disclosure and the `Phil Larson' disclosure was an attempt to SHUT down coverage of UFOs in being `alien' in nature. I have reviewed many times why it is not in the interest of the government to admit anything concerning UFOs and black budgets.
  question 7....deny, deny, deny. This is what our goverment has been doing for 60 years. There will come a time when they will have no other choice but to tell the truth. I feel disclosure will occur in the United States within 10 years and our world will change forever. We are being prepaired by our goverment for disclosure. I have read that some our our current alien movies has been backed by our goverment. In other words they helped pay for the production. 8) How are your opinions different from other NJ MUFON members?






question eight....My opinions are different from most MUFON members. Most investigators would rather call a questionable UFO sighting a "IFO" Identified Flying Object. This means they will classify the UFO as a plane, bird, bug, satellite, planets, swamp gas and superman most of the time. Instead of identifing an object as a ''UFO" Unidentified Flying Object , they would rather give the sighting an explainable ending. If I am only 90% sure it could be an airplane or satellite, I would be guessing. If you have to guess what an object could of been, it should be classified as a UFO Unidentified Flying Object. I feel there are too many debunkes in MUFON. I found one a few years ago and had that person fired. I cannot control the debunkers in other states but I can control them in New Jersey. I am the Chief Investigator for MUFON in New Jersey and I work for Major George Filer. George is an icon in the UFO community and he has given me the job of assigning cases and overseeing investigations. I work three to four hours every day on UFO cases and updating my three UFO web sites. Of course we do not get paid for doing this. I do it because I love this subject and I am still looking for answers.
I too have been a big fan of George Flier and was floored when he opened up about his childhood experiences - any comments?

9) What do you think was happening in Lee's Summit MO. last summer?

question 9...lee's summit sighting......There have been some very credible sightings in this area of Missouri. I know that Whiteman Airforce Base is aprox 44 miles east of Lee's Summit. Many different objects have been witnessed and I really do no know why the increased activity in Missouri. I do know that some sightings have been written off because of Whiteman AFB. Investigators guessing again. A few dozen sightings have been reported but most have been written off as IFO. The B-2 bomber is station at Whiteman AFB. This could account for some sightings but not all. I doubt that the training area for the B-2 bomber is over populated areas.
Just to ask, are you aware of the UDCC coverage of the `hanging jetliner' phenomena?
question 9 ....hanging jetliner article....I first saw this article on UFO Casebook. I did not know how to react to this event but I feel anything is possible in todays world. Cloaking device, military experiment or someone telling a tall tale. I wish I had more time to research all that is going on in the UFO community.



I love your web site and its an honor to be associated with someone who wants to find the truth. Thanks Rick for the opportunity to comment on a few questions we all have.


==================================
Again, my thanks to Ken for taking the time to answer my questions - I do hope he will follow up in the comments with further input.

A special thanks to the GLEE person who again watched it off of UDCC via Amazon last night. All your amazon purchases support the efforts of UDCC. You may have noticed I no longer have the donate button, indeed, took it off months ago - as those are for non profit organizations and not really just for people to throw money at bloggers - which almost never happens anyway - I don't think that most bloggers know that is for non profits. I will soon be including ways to support this website via the purchase of buttons etc.
=================================
Speaking of buttons - UDCC got at least 15 FACEBOOK folk yesterday thanks to you all using the Facebook button below - thanks. It's just as easy to use the Email button too. Thanks.

Sky Noise Phenomena - Jersey City, New Jersey (Video)

I'm sure that a few of you are beginning to go `we get it already, there's some weird Sky Noise' --- to which I answer, yes there is. This one is from back in May; supposedly had been going on for an hour - at dawn and before. 16K views/listens.

========================================
Want a good read about one of the very early alien abductions? One with lots of insights and good comments from readers? Comments as heavy as this tease from Bruce Duensing, who may be close to a fuller theory on UFOs than most?
Outside of the quasi-theological debates on the nature of the phenomenon and their silly behaviors, I suspect, these gentlemen came into contact with an atmospheric phenomenon that

1 induced physiological effects that made both unconscious and one to enter a quasi dream state while unconscious.
2.The dream content and context was based on the initial perception of a flying machine.
3. They projected the image of a flying machine on the phenomenon as a "closest match"
4. The phenomenon was certainly energetic as they were not physically touched.
5. The energy signature is unique and unknown. If it became common rather than comparatively rare, we'd all be as mad as the mad hatter.
Of course these are suspicions rather than a theology. Belief always gets in the way..
By Bruce Duensing, at Sunday, September 04, 2011
BTW..In the NICAP summary, "Stephens and Gray described their UFO at first as looking like a helicopter, again like the Loring and Brunswick reports." It was alternatively described as having no visible means of propulsion as well. Presumably, one phenomenon having several physical forms or is it perception in physiology as influenced by the phenomenon itself may create red herrings which are consequently thought to be physical objects. In dualism this would suggest there is no phenomenon, but there is, although energetic and rare, it does exist. However, mistaking effects of the phenomenon for the nature of the phenomenon leads most astray into strange theologies based on belief alone.
And, again, here's the link - UFOcus
================================
Finally, BS is up to it again - a `UFO' video which defies categorization - Strange Red Light And Sound In Sky - yes, even different `light' and `sound' than `usual' for the anomalous. Or, is this nothing more than a hoax or elaborate Lazar display from someone just before July 4th?

Sky Sound Phenomena Moves `UFO Disclosure Clock' To Latest Time Setting Yet

Part of the `ingredients' UDCC uses to set the Clock of UFO Disclosure is, how `obvious', or nefarious, is the particular UFO phenomena event . And, as regular readers know, the increasing weird Sky Noise Phenomena, seems to be making its presence known. The real question is beginning to be - how long can the LSM (lamestream media) ignore it; as the phenomena is seemingly increasing and `showing up' - literally - perhaps - On LIVE Television Sporting Events as UDCC covered this month already. (see video at link above) Tell me that isn't one of the strangest sounds you've ever heard! I also provided updated coverage HERE too.

I will have additional videos of the on-going Sky Noise Phenomena (SNP) again tomorrow. Please check back as I've got a number of SNP ready to go again. The increasing and nefarious SNP pushes the Clock later once again.

Additionally, August did not disappoint in TV coverage of the UFO phenomena, beginning the month with The Off Flagler Beach UFO Crash or the unannounced Crash Of A Government Military UFO/Balloon In Ohio - (which was probably for spying on citizens) as well as covering ANOTHER strange Orb in Larado Texas - and - another NYC `ufo' event - just days ago immediately prior to TS Irene's time frame. Both the NYC and Larado events complete with tons of multiple videos and Facebook confirmations (Oh lord.). (The NYC thing is a bit weird in that the population would be looking at the sky in anticipation of a sky event on that day. Just sayin.)

Speaking of ORBs - `they' continue to exhibit themselves in predictable manners to some - for example, one Steamboat Springs Orb put on a show for seemingly just one person , while an incredible Orb crosses the sky at the end of a Vancouver Fireworks Orb  fireworks display with over a million in attendance.

(Vancouver also now has a cableTV effort that is tracking nighttime ORBs and comparing them to databases of known satellites and pieces of space junk. The service in its opening days showed some very strange going ons in the nighttime sky. Is the ORB phenomena about to get real confirmation?)

And, finally, UDCC provided some real blogging original content in August too. From the Original Music Video of a retired flyer talking/singing (called When Starships Fly) about UFO Disclosure; to interviewing a retired man in Physics who explained to UDCC readers How Saucers Fly. UDCC also `sourced' the `Obama Alien Disclosure' rumor And Found It To Be The Probable Hoax Of A ExoPolitics Person - hope all Clockers found the Original Content entertaining at least.

Lastly, Budd Hopkins died, just as the legacy of Alien Abduction comes under increasing non-acceptance - by those who originally gave it a possibility. However, IMO, the folly started to crumble when they used the vaguest of relationship of attributes, to at one time claim that MILLIONS had been abducted by aliens. Sheer folly and a lot to swallow. (Remember, I do maintain that a VERY FEW people have indeed been abducted by spacecraft.)

Therefore, unless the ORB and Sky Noise Phenomena decreases - it appears likely that the final minutes to midnight for UFO Disclosure - may be counted down in 2012 - who da thunk it?

Alien Abduction Special

I suppose that I'd be a fan of C to C if I were so inclined to fire up the old radio band - but I don't - and the time of the shows simply is not conducive either. However, I also know that many of the guests IMO are full of BS - and I get enough of that from the MSM and the nations politicians daily.

Nonetheless, his guests are very interesting and here is UDCC's first CtoC video - with a woman deep into the alien abduction phenomena - including praise for her Hybrid children who have the best attributes of both species.

As all Clockers know, the UFO field is ripe with disinfo and with `secret government projects'. In the video below, we have a dash of both as the government launched, without public notice, a UFO looking aircraft designed for who knows what ..... but certainly falls under the nefarious category for UDCC: Full story within the TV report - about 400 views as of Wednesday afternoon.

It's a hodge-podge of links today. ------------- Joe Capp is a UFO experiencer who saw an UFO in 1962, started blogging about the same time as me, and now is a UFO investigator in a sense. Always standing up for the witness, here Joe brings the near ubiquitous (on MUFON reports, to me of which are usually not of the level I bring to my readers) NYC Nighttime Orb scene to the internet - http://ufomedia.blogspot.com/2011/05/ny-ufo-hotline-videos-cesars-video.html - it's literally an HOUR of the same UFO - and in this video, just seconds into it, you can see a VERY strange Triangle UFO just hanging in the sky - worthy of a click I assure you:

===============================
Yesterday, in my comments, I think this video was linked to  - that said, I ran across this link, maybe the same link - of a BIG UFO story in South America in Brazil - who knows but is of interest - MAJOR alleged "UFO" sighted in Sao Paulo Brazil - TV Station shows - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A10wZyAfSBI&feature=fvwrel - amazing picture, which, if true, would tend to end all doubts. Interestingly, the man in this video AND the commentor on this blog - both mention a KITE as the answer. HMMM.
=========================
Finally, for today, Emma Woods ..... if you don't know her name, or the story about how she is challenging the `alien abduction' hypnosis she underwent by one of the leaders in AA, - get your mind ready to wrap around at least 20 minutes of content.
