Background The background as reported in the posted CMS file on the MUFON website1 reads as follows. “Witness contacted Oregon MUFON Asst. SD regarding an apparent implant removed from right adenoid or other glandular passage in his throat. Object has been secured by Oregon SD and will be submitted for analysis. Additional sighting experiences related dating back to approximately 1946 or 1947. These will be described in the complete report.” The objective is to identify the AFO. Conclusions The sample is composed of primarily calcium phosphate and a small amount of calcium carbonate. Possibly a very small amount of calcium…

Background Four witnesses of the event include a man, his wife, and two tenants who rent an upstairs room in their house. The tenants were outside about midnight on June 29th smoking cigarettes when they observed multiple orange-red unidentified aerial objects descend over their neighborhood. At the height of the event there were up to 24 objects. They were silent and floated irregularly. One of the tenants filmed the event using his SamSung Galaxy S5 phone. Toward the end, the objects appeared to slowly and silently move off into the distance in sort of a formation. One orb was still…
Background Fragments were gathered from a purported crashed unidentified aerial craft in the Plains of San Augustine, which occurred the first week of July in 1947. One fragment found by Chuck Wade (Wade-1) was previously analyzed by this Laboratory.1 A second fragment also found by Wade, called “I-beam”, was submitted for analysis. It is designated “I-Beam” because of its similar appearance to one. The object is to determine if there are any anomalous properties of the sample that could be related to an extraterrestrial craft. Specifically, one such anomaly would be the presence of fragment elements that have different isotopic…
Background A small fragment with a ‘black’ side and a red side was found 1,000 feet southeast of the main Roswell 1947 crash debris field. There is nothing manmade, not even a road, for at least ½ mile in every direction from where the fragment was found. Previous SEM-EDS analysis was submitted with this sample. Detected were Al, Si, Mg, Ca, Fe and Ti. Ti was only detected on the red side of the sample. The object is to determine the composition of the fragment. Conclusions The sample is covered with typical environmental debris. It is a non-homogeneous mix of…
Background A witness claims to have seen a vortex in the sky from which shiny particles fell onto his property. This occurred in Newtown, Pennsylvania on January 21, 2014.There was no mention of an unidentified object observed. The objective is to identify the shiny particulates. Conclusions The shiny particulates are identified as common glitter. They are composed of a man-made common polyester specifically identified as poly(ethylene terephthalate). Glitter is commonly made from this polyester.1 This conclusion is confirmed by both microscopic and infrared analysis. Analysis of the soil was not done because of the positive identification of the particulate as…
