Roundtown UFO Society

Roundtown UFO Society The witness can remain anonymous if he/she so desires. We believe that there have been a lot of unreported UFO sightings over the past several years.

RUFOS is an organization centered on the seeking of truth within the field of ufology and its significance in today's world and to help educate and condition the public about the possibility of the existence of UFOs / UAPs and Extraterrestrial life. A Word From Our Director

The Roundtown UFO Society is a non-profit organization that is seriously interested in collecting data on Unidentified Flying Objects. We are an outlet for people who want to know the latest information about UFOs and also for people who may have seen an unknown object and who wish to report it. It is important to get the reports and to be able to analyze them. We urge anybody who believes that they may have witnessed an unusual phenomenon to contact us at the above address or phone number or our email address, rufos@columbus.rr.com. Some of our RUFOS members are affiliated with two nationwide UFO investigative groups; MUFON, the Mutual UFO Network, located in Morrison, Colorado; and CUFOS, the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies, located in Chicago, Illinois. Also some members belong to a state organization, which is MUFON of Ohio. These non-profit organizations have hundreds of members who hold professional degrees and who feel that UFOs deserve serious scientific study. Co-operation is the key to helping solve this greatest mystery of our, or possibly all time. After many years of investigating and researching UFOs I decided that more of the public should be told about our results. This is for the public that is interested in this subject. I call this endeavor the Public Awareness Program. I have accomplished this by giving talks at different organizations, writing local newspaper articles, and now with our website. We had a quarterly newsletter that lasted for thirteen years. With our website, www.roundtownufosociety.com, our information can be available much sooner and will help the society accomplish much more. We plan on putting the latest UFO information on it, which also will include past UFO sightings. History is very important to ufology. "We will try to stick to the facts, as we know them."

Greetings everyone!
Our next Roundtown UFO Society meeting will be held NEXT
Thursday, November 13 @6:00 PM EST at the American Legion Post #134
in the banquet room (the banquet room door is on the side of the building; it is well
marked).
Address: 23363 US-23 S, Circleville, OH 43113
Please feel free to join us and to invite guests!
We discuss numerous anomalous topics.....UFOs/UAP/USOs, cryptids, strange phenomenon,
etc. Attendees are welcome to share experiences if desired but it is completely voluntary....no
pressure. 🙂
For our remote RUFOS members, we’re planning to offer participation using zoom.
Good news: The big TV in the American Legion banquet room is working again after board
replacements. Once again, make your monthly offerings to the tech gods that the
internetconnection will remain stable.
If you would like to participate remotely via our zoom connection, please email us at
roundtownufo@gmail.com with a request to be added as a member (free) including
name and other pertinent info such as address, cell, areas of interest, etc. We will not
publish open zoom links due to security concerns.

Thanks to folks who came out for October Skywatch! It was a beautiful evening
to gather with friends.
Pete was able to join us remotely for a few minutes to share a few thoughts.
The most notable item I saw that night in the sky was a HUGE bolide descend as we drove home
courtesy of the Draconid meteor shower.

Here are a few items you might find interesting that have come up over the last
month:
We'll have these and plenty more to cover next Thursday.....

• VASCO Palomar Observatory Project Papers & publication....this short video sums it
up well
o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJym6n-QuHg
• 2025 NDAA UAP provisions as proposed earlier this year appear to be dead and
Senator Roger Wicker of Mississippi killed it.....and he isn't talking about it.

By the way, take a look at Wicker's top contributor list. You probably won't be
surprised.

as-roadblocks-failures-and-new-pathways-emerge

o https://www.askapoluaps.com/p/wicker-mutes-himself
• Grokipedia- hopefully soon to be a complete replacement for wikipedia! Look at ANY
wiki article on our anomalous topics of interest to quickly see why it has become the primary
source for incorrect, manipulated and biased "information" and most of the control group for
wikipedia is completely anonymous. But the BIGGER issue is that it is the first thing that pops up
on most web browsers as well as being the core source for most AI. Heed the warning:
"garbage in, garbage out"

o https://apnews.com/article/elon-musk-wikipedia-grok-grokipedia-
4dab7c6ebb16cc7718b231adae4aac95

o You can look for interviews with wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger to hear how
the original intent of wikipedia has been twisted and controlled
• Documentary releases
o Age Of Disclosure - November 21 on limited theatrical release and Prime
o American Sasquatch: Man, Myth or Monster - David Paulides - December 1
o Siege Of Ape Canyon - Small Town Monsters - Seth Breedlove - Available on
Prime and Vimeo now
o Darcy Weir films - he released 3 this year!

I'll share the topic title in the next email (we had to reschedule this from this month
since we weren't sure if the TV was going to be back in working order) Kathleen has a
number of classes, presentations and discussion groups as well as a variety of services
available. Take a look at her website for upcoming events:

Yesterday 10/19/2025, was Global Disclosure Day. There are a lot people, myself included, hoping that our congressional members, who know of and aren't afraid to dig into the massive amount of data that exists about the UFO/UAP phenomenon by our own government and black operations, will eventually pry out the truth that exists. Non-human entities, back-engineered technology that can change the world we now live in...
Is the hidden agenda of secrecy and deception due to a desire to maintain and hide the actual technology they want to use in a militaristic means? This is one of the things talked about in this recorded video.

MESSAGE FROM CHRIS FRANTZ

Greetings everyone!
IMPORTANT: ANNUAL RUFOS SKYWATCH FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER

Our next Roundtown UFO Society meeting will be held NEXT Thursday, October 9 @6:00 PM EDT at Canal Park just outside of Circleville. This is the same park that we have used for the last couple of years. It's just about a mile outside of town and pretty easy to find.
Address: 23352 Canal Rd, Circleville, OH 43113
We'll start the gathering at our normal time with an abbreviated meeting following by food and fun conversation. The weather forecast, at the moment is clear with a high of 68 and a low of 43. Bring your jackets! (OMG....I'm so happy to finally be able to say that after this sweltering summer.)
It's absolutely ok to get there earlier if desired and we have permission to use the park that evening after dark. Sunset that evening will be 7:02 PM EDT with a 93% waning moon.

Bring a chair, a beverage and a food item to share if you can! (But not required of course....we know it's hard for folks with mobility issues).
(Dan and I will bring plates, plasticware, napkins, garbage bags and some goodies to share.)
As always, please feel free to join us and to invite guests!
This is a safe space for folks who would like to discuss info regarding many anomalous realms including UFO/UAP/USOs, cryptozoological creatures, paranormal and other related topics. Attendees are welcome to share any experiences you would like but there it is completely voluntary....no pressure. 🙂

Because this is an outdoor meeting, we won't have connectivity or equipment to run an online meeting for October but should be back to holding hybrid in-person & remote meetings for the month of November.......hopefully.
Why hopefully??
The big TV in the American Legion banquet room unquestionably has a hardware issue. I'm hoping to have a service person come out to diagnose the possibly fix the issue next week but we have to get it off the wall first. I'll let folks know the status for the November meeting.

I'm keeping this email quite short but there sure is a lot to discuss next Thursday.
