The trailer to the upcoming film from 411 author David Paulides is out and can be viewed here. The film is releasing June 22. Paulides has created an incredible larger work in his 411 book series - chronicling another seemingly paranormal strain where folks go missing with surprisingly similar clues. While his work is outside of the UFO field, it is a most interesting and quirky area that seems to rival what we encounter in ufology. Lots of clues and few answers. Personally a big fan. -- Roger Marsh, Director of Communications

 Arizona Historical Society Museum honors Phoenix MUFON. The Arizona Historical Society Museum is the venue for the monthly Phoenix MUFON meetings. The Director and staff love having the MUFON gatherings in their Steele Auditorium, and consider the Phoenix Lights exhibit upstairs in the museum to be one of the all-time favorites, with enthusiastic, positive feedback from all visitors. Director Tawn Downs approached Stacey Wright and Jim Mann of Phoenix MUFON to see if they were agreeable to a reception to be held for the local ufology research group's honor, and to celebrate the favorable feedback the museum receives with the UFO subject being presented there. A resounding YES, OF COURSE was the answer given. On Saturday, March 10, the Arizona Historical Society Museum did indeed honor Phoenix MUFON and all attendees to a reception following the monthly meeting, where guest speaker Linda Moulton Howe enlightened the audience with her lecture. Hors d'oeuvres and cocktails were enjoyed, along with hauntingly-beautiful Navajo flute accompaniment by flutist Lorrie Sarrafin. An aura photo booth operated by Vision Quest bookstore, and the fine collection of crystal and gem jewelry from Star Woman Crystals were the crowning touch to a very enjoyable afternoon. What a wonderful way to honor the subject of ufology, especially from a state-run organization like the Arizona Historical Society Museum.  Linda Moulton Howe   John J. Doucette I am pleased to announce effective September 1, 2018 John J. Doucette is our new State Director for Pennsylvania.

MUFON also released its first edition of UFO Cases of Interest - which offers overviews on 241 reports from 2017 that are worthy of further study. The book also includes a 2017 statistics section - and a four-part index: Location, Object, Site and Witness. Readers can search for their hometown, county, state or country - as well as hundreds of other ways. You may want to look at the Witness Index to see only pilots who reported, or police officers or someone from the military. Discover the best time to see a UFO. See which states are getting the best sightings. Read only about witnesses who were chased by UFOs. Or cases where the object was under 500 feet. If you wish to purchase the Top 13 UFO Reports in print copy for $10, please email HQ@mufon.com to place your order. UFO Cases of Interest can be purchased at Amazon.com.  The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) Communications Group is looking for several volunteers in two different overlapping roles - see job descriptions below. Director of Communications Roger Marsh is generating regional press releases for the recently-released book - UFO Cases of Interest - that include cases specific to one area/region in the U.S. In addition, the email package will include a PDF of part of the book - front and back covers, table of contents, preface, introduction, and sample pages from each section. We will be working as a team to complete regional marketing - reaching out to print, radio, television and web media in defined areas and emailing out these packets. Each packet will be tailored to their region. Media Contact Editor - Would follow Roger's regional market list (35 to 50) and generate an email list of the best print, radio, television and web media contacts. Each contact would include a Media Outlet Name, Media person name, Mailing address, email address, and a telephone number. Roger will create the individual packages going out - and this editor will create the email contact list. Hoping to do about three markets weekly. Media Follow-Up Editor - Would watch Roger's emailed market list - and follow up within 7 days with each person to ask if they received it; and if they require additional information or personal interviews with (a) Executive Director Jan Harzan; (b) Director of Investigations Chase Kloetzke; or (c) State Director from their market area who can comment directly on the cases outlined. All three team members would use a Google Shared Document - an Excel Sheet - that outlines the markets - allowing for the Follow-Up Editor to list follow-up comments; and providing links to where media published. This is an important media project for MUFON in 2018 that acts as a vital fundraiser. We can assign more than one person to the above job descriptions - where we assign you a specific marketing region. We are also looking for a national media contact list as well - as we have some interesting insight from the book that is not region-specific. This is an exciting opportunity to make a difference in MUFON. Please get in touch directly with Roger Marsh at editor@mufon.com. Must be a member of MUFON to participate. Past featured news generated from UFO Cases of Interest include:  Craig R. Lang It is with shock and great sadness that we must report to you of Craig R. Lang passing on February 19, 2018, in Phoenix, Arizona. Many of us saw Craig recently at the IUFOC in Phoenix and he appeared to be in good health although suffering from a cold.
Jan Harzan spoke to his sister, Mary, and she informed him that he was apparently suffering from a streptococcus bacterial infection that turned septic extremely quickly. Craig went to the ER at 8:30 p.m. that day under his own power and was in a coma by morning. Now he is gone. This is a big loss for all of us who knew and worked with Craig. Please send your positive thoughts and prayers to Craig's family. MUFON BIO Craig R. Lang is a certified hypnotherapist with the National Guild of Hypnotists and the owner of Explore with Hypnosis. His hypnotherapy practice is located in Coon Rapids, MN (an inner-ring suburb of Minneapolis). In addition to hypnotherapy, he is the Minnesota assistant state director for the Mutual UFO Network, which researches UFO sightings, anomaly reports and close encounters worldwide. He has published articles in the MUFON UFO Journal, the CUFOS International UFO Reporter, The Edge, and many other publications. He is the author of two books on UFOs, The Cosmic Bridge, Close Encounters and Human Destiny, and The Other Side of the Sky, The Cosmic Bridge Companion, exploring the enigma of UFOs, science and the paranormal. What is our relationship with our visitors from out there? How might that relationship be evolving over time? His other interests are astronomy, parapsychology, creative writing, spirituality and meditation, plus various outdoor sports. Please join MUFON's Executive Director Jan C. Harzan at "The Infinite Fringe" radio show. Jan discusses the recent revelations of a secret UFO program at the pentagon and the recent wave of UFO related news coverage by the main stream media. We also discuss Tom Delonge's involvement as a spokes person of sorts for the government.Is this a step closer to disclosure? Or are there other agendas to be served. Stevie Richards of the Conspiracy Horsemen joins the panel to help us make sense of all the recent news.
