      Comprehensive theories of the methods used to record the John Lenard Walson / F.A.S.T. images.

                                               By ‘John Bro’ Wilkie and ‘Arcturian Kontakt’

Firstly, I believe that the recently recorded images are of much less value than the established methods or thoughts
further provoked by these controversial recent findings. I don't care much about the 'Interstellar' video content or
accusations of Mr. Walson's allegedly endeavoring to be paid for this information. That is his business. I also don't
want to become too far embroiled in the controversy of this debate. It is simply that people around the world have
been recently coming forth with like images that have been recorded over our homelands.

Firstly, let me tell you all that Mr. Walson's videos most probably are not a 'Hoax.' I also feel that some of the images
could very well be that of U.S. military and NASA space platforms and of a highly-sensitive nature. Some are possibly
quite sizeable - relative to or even surpassing that of the ISS. It could be remnants of the 'Strategic Defense Initiative'
hardware and surprisingly, still operational. I have read some arguments stating that this would be a major violation of
‘space treaties’ agreements between major nations. It is my feeling that such activities would have to be a
cooperative international effort.

There is also the possibility that these ‘space objects’ could be of an entirely different nature. Whether or not what we
are seeing is ordinary man-made satellites - 'Star Wars' tech... 'Mysterious Space Orbitors' or something quite
mundane, people are noticing 'something' that previously was not as self-evident. One person told me;"some stars
seem to be twinkling brighter than I remember ever seeing before - and I have studied them all of my life."

I don't know if I would advise private individuals to attempt getting too far involved into the pursuit of the reported
'conspiracy' of this subject, apart from gleaning the information and forming their own opinions. But if folks do wish to
view and videotape these alleged machines, I am here to say that the methods used to do so are in all probability -
childishly simple. My friends and I have been observing these possible artifacts for over a decade now.

The first time that I noticed them was back in 1994, over Los Angeles, California. When I first looked at one through a
telescope, what I saw resembled a cardboard tube from an exhausted roll of bathroom tissue. This is not an attempt at
humor. That really was the shape of the thing. Another time, I found one that looked like the 'Bat plane' - and I later saw
the exact same shape on a video taken by a space shuttle mission. I found this to be quite an odd coincidence.

On one occasion, I watched one of these ‘chameleon stars’ as it sat in a stationary position for more than 6 hours.
Upon the next morning's sunrise, the ‘space object’ suddenly moved off to the west and out of my sight. It was as if this
‘star’ started up a little outboard motor, then ‘boated’ away. This event shocked my senses to the core. These objects
have likely been in our skies for a very long time. So, I would like to start off with a short excerpt from an unpublished
journal that I completed in mid-1997. Please notice the initial dates.

"July 11, 1995

I didn’t sleep at all last night; and at 4:30 in the morning, I was again scanning the skies. Directly to the northeast was a
glowing sphere that was constantly changing colors. None of the other stars in the sky were doing the same. This one
really stood out above the rest. I knew that this object was very similar to an object that Martha Brimer had earlier
taped in Van Nuys, CA. I noted that the battery in my video camera registered some 13 minutes left on the charge.

So I walked out early in the morning, video recorder in hand, trying to figure out how to use it. It took a little walking, but I
did finally get to a place where I could get some clear shots of the ‘chameleon star.’ Unfortunately, I hadn’t yet figured
out where the camera’s button to turn off the auto-focus was located. The focus zoomed in and out throughout my
proceedings. Then I noticed a “sister object” was hovering to the east. I turned and filmed it and went back and forth
between the two objects to make a comparison. Then the battery in the camcorder failed. I didn’t realize it at the time,
but later review of the video footage clearly showed the object flare bright red a second before the camera shut down."

"January 12, 1996

Late last night, I saw another one of the ‘chameleon stars.’ They look like planets, although through closer examination,
obviously are not. The objects appear to be spinning and emitting multiple colors. I did happen to have one of my
friends with me and he reported seeing the 'stars' for several months now. This is the same kind of ‘star’ that Martha
has been recording stunning videotapes of since back in July of 1994. I wish that I could get a high-powered telephoto
lens on one of these things."

These aren't random or chance sightings. There is a childishly-simple approach that we are taking to find what I refer
to as 'Chameleon Stars.' I call them this, not because they hide against a background - but because they apparently
change colors. They continue to be odd-looking & moving, relative to the rest of the 'ordinary' stars.

They can be seen as flashing reds, blues and greens - when all of the rest are pale white. As I look into a clear night
sky, I scan across the horizon, investigating each azimuth. With my naked eye - can I always find 2 or 3 ‘stand-outs.’
They are most notably seen in the four corners of the sky. As I watched them closer, I would sometimes see small
specks of light that were seemingly jumping off of them like fleas. It almost appears as if the 'stars' are spinning..

Some very Intelligent people have been in correspondence with me, stating that it is their opinion that this
‘phenomenon’ is most likely the visual effect of observing stars through the earth’s atmosphere. The ‘aurora-effect’ is
probably caused by atmospheric distortions, light reflections and diffractions. However, use of good optical
equipment will sort out many of the anomalies. This is something that I greatly urge to people to personally investigate.

                       This is the first image taken                                              Then it slightly rolled counter-clockwise.

I have had several people tell me that these images are simply the result of my hand shaking while taking the pictures.
I have posted on-line a different image, where 'Christmas lights' in a neighbor's front yard are obviously 'smeared' and
out-of-focus. Some have said that this one image invalidates them all.   This could be fact, yet the frames are exactly
representative of what I saw with my naked eye. I did not have the camera securely mounted on a tripod. However, at
the time these images were recorded, the camera was sitting on a makeshift platform. I have noticed that both
'objects' appear to have a 'T-handle' on the right side end. I personally watched it spin to the left. It is disconcerting
and confusing, to say the least. If I saw this - then the camera recorded the same thing, can I privately so easily
dismiss this as being the moral equivalent of a 'double' or multiple exposure? And who could a person really call to
verify such a thing?

The equipment I used to get my modest little images - was a Canon Power Shot Digital Elph SD750.. I did 'zoom in' on
the object, which in my case - was a max of 12 X. Not too impressive for this purpose, but it did record that I am
witnessing ‘something.’ I don't know all of the specifications of the CCD element; etc

This object pictured above was located in the southwestern sky - approximately 20 degrees up on the horizon - below -
and in the general vicinity of the constellation 'Orion.' It was completely visible to the naked eye. I had observed it for
weeks before reporting it to anyone. The average time of the sightings was regularly between 2100 and 2300 hrs -
EST, USA.

If folks go to the following hyperlink - they can then “left-click” on the images - and this will open up files that are 7.1
Megs of digital information.

I have resumed shooting these type of images as of a couple of months ago. I now have a catalogue of them for
verification. I have also been posting a diary of my observations (with pictures) on a thread at UFOcasebook. Go down
the following page about half-way, then look for the 'notched disk' image. The story will commence there.

ufocasebook forum

One of the original posts; supposedly written by a member of the ‘F.A.S.T’ camp, quoted Mr. Walson as saying that he
observed that sometimes, the ‘mysterious Space Orbiters’ would align themselves with known stars , often in Major
constellations. It was as if for ‘stealth’ reasons, they had super-imposed themselves over long-recognized astral
bodies. Personally, I find the required logistics to perform such a feat to be exceptional, if not highly-unlikely. But then I
caution myself against firmly coming to the conclusion that ‘nothing’ out in the vastness of outer space would be
capable of such.

Mr. Walson has reportedly stated that he has located some of the objects in the vicinity of the constellation ‘Orion, ‘the
handle’ of the ‘Big Dipper’ - Ursus Major, stars ‘Arcturus’ and ‘Muphrid.’ Cliff Mickelson, of Yakima Valley, Washington
– has internet postings stating ‘they tend to appear out of the west/southwest quadrant of the sky.’

I have personally received reports of people recording or witnessing these space objects in California, Washington,
Texas, Florida & Michigan, U.S.A. I also have reports of two separate and unacquainted individuals recording these in
Sussex, England, U.K.

In order to alleviate some people's fears, concerning a potential 'invasion' initiated from 'recently discovered' space
objects - allegedly filmed by a Mr. John Lenard Walson, I have come here with a high level of personal confidence to
tell how the images were likely captured. By no means will this method afford the amateur astro-photographer the
quality and clarity of images acquired with high-grade professional equipment - but is a starting point.

With the aid of a high-powered ‘zoom’ lens – and a ‘High 8' or better video camera - (A ‘Fugitron’ would be great for
this project, but cost prohibitive.)

1) Begin by visually locating the 'chameleon stars.'

2) Align the objects into your camera’s viewfinder --

3) Set telephoto 'zoom' to 'infinity'- then disable 'auto focus' function. This prevents your recorded footage from going
in and out of focus upon review. I personally have a tendency to ‘Max-out’ my ‘zoom’ function – then slightly back it off
a bit.

4) Make certain that the camera is firmly mounted on some sort of a tripod base, and then simply activate the 'record'
function. During the recording session, some manual camera tracking will be required as well.

I say that anyone can do this. I don't know or really care about Mr. Walson and his videos. That story has been
propagated ad nauseum. I wish him well. His is simply reference material. I just know what I have seen and recorded.
I firmly believe that, with similar images coming from across the world, we are most probably seeing and imaging
some of the same orbiting objects. We could be incorrect, but I wouldn't say that it is a 'hoax.'

So what are we truly looking at here? These topics can only be pro or con to the general consensus. It will be nearly
impossible to prove. Aggressive and negative opposition can come forward, stating that all findings are debunked
because conventional thinking & academia disagrees. This means very little to me. I trust my own sightings. Some
out there will recognize the sincerity of my writings. It is to them that I dedicate this. I have been closely monitoring the
specifics of this case unfolding across the internet. I say that this debate is far from being concluded. I think that we
truly must rely on a perceptive eye and an open mind. And we must decide for ourselves. My submission here is not
intended to debunk or prove this recent 'discovery.' Personally, it is my wish that 100,000 people would go out and
investigate this for themselves. Let no one tell you what your opinion is.

As an addendum, I am including the testimony of a man from the UK, who, for the purpose of preserving his anominity,
has opted to be known as ‘Arcturian Kontakt.’ His experiences and opinions do not directly mirror my own. Still, there
are some striking similarities.

What can I say after such erudite advice? Suffice to say I will endeavor to explain how it is that I am able to film so
many objects and so often. Bear in mind, I only started noticing these objects in March 2007. I started recording them,
using a 7-year-old Sony Handy Cam Hi 8 Camera. I borrowed it from my Dad who never used it. I didn’t have a clue as
to how to operate the thing. I simply borrowed it and hoped the objects returned which they did - within about an hour!

So the first few videos I took have shots of fingers & thumbs and shoes and the pavement! I often spotted the objects
whilst working on my music. I would find myself taking off my headphones, then off running down stairs - grabbing the
Handy Cam, opening the Door, switching the Handy Cam on - and then hope for the best. This was whilst puffing and
shaking. (initially, was quite an emotional experience) Then I would find myself running from the front of the house - into
the street - back again, front again etc, etc. So the first 3 videos I took were a bit grey as the light settings were wrong.
I didn’t know how to use the ‘zoom’ correctly and I rushed around because I didn’t think these objects would return. Also
I have no Tripod.

So my advice is to get a Camera and practice both in the daytime and night time. One must get used to the settings
and the ‘zoom.’ Once you are ready and are confident - and you have a tripod, go somewhere quiet with as much open
space as possible, preferably near a large expanse of water.

I have found that the objects in question tend to appear initially as ‘Orbs’ or “unusually bright Stars.” They usually are
traversing from directly West to East. They are silent, except for the occasional hum - or at the very start of the
evening, a noise similar to that slowed-down tape recording of a passing jet plane. Also I often hear ‘popping noises’
on the roof tops of all of my neighbor’s houses. It is very unusual and somewhat hard to explain.

Often these Objects fly in a curve – and when I am directly facing to the West, they move to the South/South East. Then
they very slowly disappear towards the Water. But I have never seen them enter the water. They just fly into the
direction of the Ocean. The visual effect is that it appears that they are traveling in a downward motion. Also these
objects are regularly seen flying directly from Due South to Due North - where again the Objects simply disappear very
slowly - this time over land.

My sightings with the largest numbers of objects (27 to Date) flew from many directions but all headed exactly into the
South / South East over the ocean at Dawn. That is to say 4am -630am. The objects seem to make a point of showing
me see that they head in a South / South east Direction. I always see the Constellation of Orion the Hunter and the
Pleiades, Taurus & Sirius. I’m not so sure if these are real Stars as they often appear in front of the clouds. This makes
me believe these Stars are in facts orbs “parked “up in the place where we would expect to see those stars.

Sightings made during the ‘Full Moon’ cycle were a regular event until (possibly) the ‘NWO’ caught on - and sprayed
the area in front of the full moon with massive amounts of Chem Trails. The ‘New Moon’ is also good. However, as a
rule - I don’t need to think about the weather at the time of my sightings, as these objects seem to have a way of letting
me know they are present. This simply involves me stopping what I am doing - opening the window and looking into the
sky. Even if it is cloudy or Chem trailed, or raining - they appear in front of the Clouds - or completely make the clouds
disappear. Any day is good but the best times to film I have found is 1 am – 6:30 am on Sunday mornings.

Even if you think there isn’t anything remotely like a UFO worth filming - don’t give up.
Simply film any thing that catches your eye. Even if you think it’s a Plane or a Helicopter - or a drone.

The Hard work is the frame by frame review of the footage. This is the most important part of the task at hand. Simply
put at ‘30 frames per second’ - and with an hour-long tape, you will have a lot of homework. I just switch on a Talk radio
and then watch the video in fast forward. If any flashes of light or color occur I simply stop and rewind and from there, I
look at the tape ‘frame-by-frame.’ By doing this, I have uncovered many excellent images.
