DOW-UAP-D173: BAASS November 2009 cases and Utah Ranch research

BAASS says its October appraisal led to a further $10,000 monthly MUFON payment reduction for the remainder of the contract, citing accumulated unspent funds.

reducing the monthly stipend to MUFON by $10,000.

The Modesto investigator changed the case to identified man-made objects after information about locally flown model gliders with blue lights.

IFO-Man-Made Objects.

The follow-up email says a hobby-store employee confirmed blue-lit models were flying at the reported October 7 time and performing matching maneuvers.

At Versailles, investigators collected soil and described compass differences but reported no Geiger or EMF registration at the bare area; the alleged landing remained their interpretation.

I took a reading with my Geiger counter

The Versailles report says no out-of-area control soil samples were obtained and later recognized one bare patch as a livestock hay-feeding area.

no out of area dirt samples were possible.

The central Texas report combines November 18 light reports across several towns, with differing colors, motions, distances and timing estimates.

The earliest sighting was 19:00 with the latest reported 20:05.

The Texas investigator cautions that a witness drawing of dark areas between lights does not prove a single large object.

No proof here of an object.

The Texas evaluation lists no physical evidence and leaves headings for helicopter, jet-and-flare, TR-3B and unknown explanations without a resolved conclusion.

PHYSICAL EVIDENCE: none

The Port Jervis report records a single witness’s vehicle and phone shutdown account, while later checks found the phone working and radiation consistent with background.

Port Jervis investigators report different meter responses between the witness vehicle and an identical dealer vehicle, but give no measured intensity because the needle reached its limit.

Specific meter reading (as to intensity) were not available,

The same case notes lost photographic documentation, camera-battery failures and primary reliance on one witness, leaving the cause of the reported effects unestablished.

This Investigation yields a reliance primarily on a single witness testimony

At Tomball, investigators found no radiation and later reported that the sick child and dog were well; the cause of damage to a Duranta plant remained unknown.

At this time it is unknown to this Investigator what caused the burning of the Duranta.

The Utah Ranch patrol logs contain many negative observations alongside reported stereo activation, photographic orbs and displaced coins; these are logged observations, not demonstrated mechanisms.

A November ranch interview includes a nearby resident who knew the local stories but said she had never witnessed anything out of the ordinary.

stated she has never witnessed anything out of the ordinary.

The interview section records a resident’s explanations of spiritual beliefs and distinctions among creature terms, while the investigators acknowledge needing further clarification.

Additional information will need to be gained

The proposed seed protocol compares ranch and Las Vegas exposures with dry and germinating seeds, repeated observations and intended environmental controls; it supplies no completed comparative outcome.

Monitor daily for germination

BAASS explicitly says uncontrolled coin-movement anecdotes are difficult to interpret because fraud, trespassers or animals could explain them, and proposes locked-container trials.

they can be easily explained by (a) fraud

A subsequent note reverses an investigator’s characterization of a website operator as a threat, saying most material came from Internet research and action would increase publicity.

BAASS no longer considers him a

The preliminary blue-orb investigation presents a mother and daughter’s 2007 account and later medical complaints; its central question is whether the encounter caused illness, not an established causal result.

The main question in this case is whether or not

The conclusion says Northern Tier, classified-archive access, oral-history work and key contacts were on hold because BAASS lacked need-to-know access; outreach remained too preliminary to judge.

BAASS currently does not have
