Special effects legend and UFO hunter Doug Trumbull to speak at the 2016 UFO Congress

Doug Trumbull is the mastermind behind the special effects of Sci-Fi classics such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Blade Runner, The Andromeda Strain (original) and The Tree of Life. He also directed the movies Silent Running and Brainstorm.

Doug is also fascinated with the topic of UFOs. He has labeled his UFO hunting efforts the UFOTOG project (a meshing of the words UFO and photography). UFOTOG includes a Hummer decked out with photographic equipment and a short film about a man searching for UFOs. He has also partnered with MUFON’s Chief Photo and Video Analyst Marc Dantonio to research and develop a self-contained modular device that can scan the skies for unidentified objects and capture scientific data using a variety of instruments.

  1. My Suggestion for MUFON and Trumbull, watch the moon and his surroundings (the orbit) for unusual behaviour of “points”.
    UFOs, space ships that start and land on the moon.
    With 8 to 10 inch you can see only “points”, but if a point have a behaviour against the laws of the physic of Newton, the ballistic laws (change the direction, accelerate, “break” etc.), it is a spacecraft.
    These are also evidences.
    Enough telescopes around the world could monitor the moon 24/7.
    And with the angle from more than one video, it is possible to determine the position and distance.
    Not “birds” or “water drops” or what “debunkers” say….
    Wich resolution would be possible with 14″, 16″, 18″, 20″ or 32″…

    Is there a site with contact form etc.?
    Two ideas for Trumbull:
    This 24/7 moon observing network, and a network of G-Sensors and Magnetometers around the world.
    Simple chips for a few dollars. The same in smartphones.
    As Base a Raspberry PI with a “XloBorg” board for ~$12. This is a ready build G-Sensor and Gravimeter/Compass sensor board.
    I and volunteers could by the hardware for perhaps ~70 dollars, load the modded linux OS, and ready is a station. Like private weather stations,but a UFO sensor network.
    All stations send her data live to a central server. He could determine positions, direction and speed of objects with exotic engine. Because, only alien technology (or secret engine technology) have gravity effects. And strong magntic fields are also not usual in the neature and from air or ground vehicles…

  2. je vous écris de belgique car je possède un document filmé par moi le 21/08/1998 une boule de forme ovoidale lumineuse de forte intensité dèrrière mon habitation,à 4h30.Par après,Je me suis rendu dans un studio de post-production afin de réaliser un agradissiement d’images ralentissement,x5x10x20,et stabilisation de l’image dans le centre de l’écrant.Des formes de visages apparaissent MR Doug Trumbull a dit qu’avant de mourrir il aimerait voire une autre forme de vie autre que la notre.Avec les logiciels actuel,la preuve sera chose faite, une équipe de television de la RTBF a commenté ce fait divers le 20/11/2000 mon film est un original sans trucage,un expert pourrait le certifier.svp,envoyé moi votre adresse en vue de vous envoyer le dvd de la television RTBF.Bien à vous et en esperant que.
