"NOTE": I haven't written a book review in years, having put myself "out to pasture" in that area, but this book deserves attention because the author's references to the Montana UFO film -- and the movie upon which this blog is based -- fit right in."
MONTANA UFOS AND EXTRATERRESTRIALS, BY JOAN BIRD, RIVERBEND PUBLISHING, P.O. BOX 5833, HELENA, MT 59604 (TEL. 1-866-787-2363), 230 PAGES, PUBL. DATE 2013, 14.95 (AUTOGRAPHED COPIES ARE AVAILABLE FROM THE AUTHOR FOR 18.95, SHIPPING INCLUDED, INQUIRE VIA JOANBIRD@MT.NET. THE BOOK MAY ALSO BE PURCHASED THROUGH AMAZON.COM FOR 10.97, AND OF COURSE CAN BE ORDERED AT LIST PRICE THROUGH YOUR LOCAL INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORE, THROUGH BARNES "> MANY MONTANA BOOKSTORES CURRENTLY HAVE IT IN STOCK.).
Oh, Montana -- oh, "world" -- what a gift this author has left at the doorstep of inquiring minds.
The decades have produced a number of regional UFO-related books, some worthwhile and some not. But Joan Bird's extensively researched volume, taking on the history of UFOs in Montana, ranks among the best area-specific trade books I've encountered, superbly footnoted with an illustration sprinkled here and there. Bonus: A mini-journey through the earliest years of UFO history in the U.S., ranging from the Air Force investigation to the Condon Report disaster and beyond is well-accomplished, and certainly important for those unfamiliar with the historical progression of research into the phenomenon.
Truth in reviewing dictates that I tell you right up front that Ms. Bird generously quotes and credits me in the first chapter and, indeed, that leads to my reason for featuring her book on this blog, intended. as you know, only for connections to the movie, "U.F.O." It turns out, as anybody remotely familiar with UFO history knows, that Montana was the home of Nick Mariana, whose brief fifties film of two UFOs traversing the sky and disappearing behind a water tower remains unexplained, even after in-depth analysis by government photo experts (with most credit going to the Navy's labs). The kicker here is that Mariana's film was prominently featured in Clarence Greene's documentary, and of course we've mentioned this in previous blog entries.
For this reason alone, Joan Bird's work has a home on this blog, all the more because the first chapter (of 76 pages) is consumed by a fascinating account of the late Nick Mariana's life before, during and after his famous UFO photography incident and, as we indicated, among all of this is the author's exploration of the United Artists documentary motion picture as it relates to the Mariana film.
Of special interest, though Ms. Bird accumulates a significant amount of information about Mariana from publications, studies and other sources from the past, to her credit she also wisely went to the trouble of contacting and interviewing the son and daughter of Nicholas Mariana, thereby updating and personalizing our knowledge about the man and his established integrity and veracity. Mariana passed on many years ago, but one wonders what additional gems Bird would have discovered, were he still available for questions.
The problems of time's passage in the book reminded me of a fleeting moment a few years ago, when a member of Canadian documentary film-maker David Cherniack's "All in One Films" contacted me prior to their visit to the United States, where they intended to conduct interviews and research all over the country regarding UFOs. Somehow, I think in relation to Greene's documentary, the name of former Navy chief warrant officer Delbert Newhouse came up. Newhouse, of course, was the other UFO photography "star" of Greene's 1956 documentary, because Newhouse, accompanied by his family on a trip, filmed a cluster of strange objects moving across the skies over Tremonton, Utah in the fifties. Like Mariana's film, Newhouse's offering confounded government film analysts -- and realize, too, that both Mariana and Newhouse complained that the best frames of their films were "missing" when returned by government officials, though this was not mentioned in Greene's "U.F.O."
But skip ahead from the fifties to the summer of 2006, when Cherniack and crew visited the U.S. Newhouse's name had come up during my phone conversation with an associate and we wondered where he might reside after all these years. By pure luck in the days after that call, I discovered a location for what might be a Newhouse family member, and when the Canadian folk checked further they were delighted to learn that Delbert Newhouse was alive and residing in an Oregon nursing home. They even established phone contact with Newhouse, getting his enthusiastic permission to come and interview him. Joking, he informed them that he was 93 years of age, so they had better hurry!
Unfortunately, Newhouse's humor proved strangely prophetic, for as Cherniack and his crew were rushing to Oregon, Delbert died suddenly, to everyone's surprise and sorrow.
I mention the Newhouse incident in detail here because, ultimately, David Cherniack's staff would end up speaking with and interviewing Newhouse's son, just as the Mariana incident needed to be explored by Joan Bird with family members after a witness's death. In Newhouse's case his son, a very young child in the fifties, clearly remembered the Utah filming incident.
Thus, the importance of Joan Bird's book to the movie for which this blog exists.
Beyond the Mariana expedition, the author confronts another dramatically important issue -- that of alleged UFO visitations to nuclear missile bases located in Montana, and for this she relies upon the work of Robert Hastings, Robert Salas and her own extensive research into these incidents -- and this is deadly serious stuff, apparently recognized and hushed up by our government on multiple occasions (Note: Salas recently revealed a personal UFO abduction incident, and there are allegations that other officers associated with UFO-nuke incidents may have experienced similar events. I mention this only as an update here, mostly about which I am uninformed - r.b.).
Other chapters discuss Montana crop circle evidence, alleged abductions and "contactee" stories from the state's past -- about which Bird effectively strives to remain factual, critical, and even dismissive where necessary. The super touch is Bird's extensive footnoting, a nice index and a lengthy list of acknowledgments in which she kindly attempts to leave no source out in the cold. Additionally, Bird appears intent upon continuing her research project, so perhaps there's a book or more in her future.
Yes, inclusion of MONTANA UFOS AND EXTRATERRESTRIALS fits into this blog nicely, a book composed with great documentary-style storytelling.

ASTRONOMER TOLD MUFON TRIANGULAR DELTA-SHAPED UFO Closed OUT STARS First-class CALIFORNIA, USAAccording to witness film, who is a scientist,astronomer and the same a practiced pilot.On June 13, 2009 last court i was lying on a courts far-flung of my house waiting to go out in the middle of a number of connections. I noticed a triangular delta produced form of four lights gruffly 5 degrees or so in obvious immensity injury overhead at the mountain. I didn't secure far-flung time to put on about it but I bow to that it stuck fast out the stars as it conceded by. I watched the form fly knock down it's consistency pin really immediately. It crossed from the mountain to the strong skyline which in the field of is about 30 degrees up or so as we are at the improper of a hill where it conceded out of view. It flew far-flung more rapidly than the robust jetliners which fly a constant in close proximity to alley appearing in San Jose.Equally very struck me about it was that it was fully furtive, place it would secure had to be really high or if a low flying aircraft be really extinct. If it was a formation of low earth orbiting satellites it was groovy in the fact that it would secure that keen get ready, and it shouldn't secure stuck fast out the stars. If it was a number of put in order of ahead of schedule airship, I ensure it be obliged to be far-flung noisier if it was flying low sufficiently to presume that robust and move that immediately. It did not presume to develop any other revolutionary distinctiveness other than it's obvious immensity and speed, nor did it bicker from an clearly point in the right direction flight alley.This was my first and purely UFO adventure. As a polished scientist, a longtime inexperienced astronomer, and practiced pilot, I absolutely never geographical to see one. I ability to remember being fearful sufficiently by it's appear that I stood up and watched it as it flew, place that from tip to toe, I had seen something that had at most minuscule the smallest module of being extraterrestrial. I ability to remember a presentiment of awe, modesty, and strangeness at the vastly time. All the same to this day I don't request what I saw, it gives me reverie that the truth *might* be out gift, after all. MUFON Case # 25143DELTA Put on Flock Formation Elder CALIFORNIA USA In recent incident at Yosemite Residence Stomach,California on December 19, 2009, recent witness who had the same photographed period delta shape cloud formation.Assumed : I had noticed that the clouds were looking markedly weird.

This is an excellent recollection from 1st Lieutenant Jack Trowbridge about the Roswell incident. He was a pilot and intelligence officer who was stationed with Major Jesse Marcel on the base near the crash site.
While the group of base Intelligence Officers were playing Bridge at Marcel's home, Major Marcel was out picking up debris from the crash field. He brought it to the group before word got out and cover up orders came down.
Trowbridge was among the few who examined the actual debris. He said the material looked like aluminum. aircraft skin and girders. There were also images that looked like heiroglyphs and not recognizable.
He handled the material. It was strange, but similar to aluminum. "It looked like a Hershey's bar wrapping", he said. When you squeezed it into a ball, though, it would return to its original shape instantly.
The next day the debris was brought into the Intelligence Office. Later that day everyone was told that the incident did not happen and must be kept secret..
Next, Major Marcel was ordered to Fort Worth to lie to the press about the crash debris. He was given a weather balloon to present as the phony crash debris. Jack Trowbridge said that the Major was not comfortable lying, but orders are orders from on high in the military.
These higher officials said that the public would panic. This would not have happened of course, but is is the usual excuse given by higher ups to justify the cover up in these UFO cases. The secret black projects and iron grip of public control are always the real reasons.
SHARE THE ROSWELL INFO WITH FRIENDS!
