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."

CHRIS’S MESSAGE
JULY 10, 2025
Greetings everyone!
Happy belated World UFO Day!
Yet again the torrent of UFO/UAP/USO, cryptid and anomalous related news has not slowed
down nor abated at all over the last month!
We'll discuss these topics at our upcoming Roundtown UFO Society meeting which will be
held this Thursday, July 10 @6:00 PM EDT 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!
This is a safe space for folks who would like to learn and share info about the anomalous
realms of UFO/UAP/USOs, cryptozoological creatures, paranormal and other anomalous
topics. Folks are welcome to share any experiences you would like but there is no pressure to
do so either.
For our remote RUFOS members, we’re planning to offer remote participation using zoom.
Here’s the zoom meeting invitation link if you would like to join remotely:

Our intermittent internet drop-out issues may still occur so I can't guarantee a seamless
connection yet. We've seen this consistently enough now that we should be able to pursue
with Spectrum internet service provider. It seems to occur closer to 8:00 PM so we'll try to
cover as many topics as possible before that time.
One time-critical item to share:
RUFOS member Paula Metzger has kindly invited RUFOS members to her property for a
fireworks event this coming Saturday July 12. Folks will gather at Paula's farm between 6-7
pm in anticipation of the fireworks display which will start shortly after dark. There will be
Corky Que BBQ food truck on site for those that would like to purchase food and there will be
live music on site as well. The event is BYOB&C (bring your own beverage and chair). You're
welcome to bring your own picnic if desired too. It's ok to bring desserts but NOT necessary.
The address for the event is 4127 Dugan Road, Circleville, Ohio, 43113.
Additional upcoming events:
CE5 monthly events first Saturday of each month
RUFOS member Ed Copley has shared that all CE5 members and interested parties are
encouraged to do a meditation sometime between 9-midnight EST which would be this
coming Saturday, June 7 using local time. This global meditation is associated with with the
Alien Contact Patreon group (first link below). Also, I know there are additional CE5 events
that are scheduled in the Ohio area a more ad-hoc basis. Please see the links below for
more information and I can put you in touch with Ed if more info/insight is needed.

Mothman Festival - Point Pleasant WV - September 20-21

Here's a sampling of really recent events that we'll discuss among many others on Thursday:
RUFOS leader, Cameron Jones will share details regarding a recent UFO/UAP sighting from
a close relative.
The recent debunking Wall Street Journal articles which brilliantly wove the completely
nonsense narrative: "The Pentagon Disinformation That Fueled America's UFO Mythology".
We'll also discuss numerous sources that have since clearly shown the vast array of errors
that these authors have made. Were they naive or manipulated?
It now appears that Ross Coulthart and possibly other prominent persons in the
UFO/UAP/USO investigatory realms are stating that the "tic tac" ufos are Lockheed-Martin
tech and that the Chinese are behind the initial drone invasions....and made have made a
huge leap in anti-gravity tech. That's a couple of pretty big claims.
For the first time, passive radar seems to have successfully detected and confirmed a very
strange UFO case in Germany.
Potential upcoming congressional hearings from the Governmental Transparency Caucus and
who may participate.
Senator Mike Rounds confirms that there will be another attempt to introduce UAP legislation
into the 2025 NDAA/IAA.
These online publications have been providing REALLY valuable additional daily/weekly
updates on anomalous subjects. I highly recommend looking at these sites regularly and
subscribing where available.

Our internet connection for zoom has been having drop-out issues just about the time that the evening streaming "rush" is underway. I can't guarantee that this will be resolved....yet. It is only recently that we've seen a consistent pattern in the behavior and we have to pursue with the post's internet service provider.
I spoke with Pete a couple of days ago and at that time was unsure whether he would be able to attend our June meeting. Hope he can!
There are two time-critical items that I wanted to pass along:
 Fairborn UFO Event - Fairborn OH - Saturday June 7
https://www.facebook.com/
 IMPORTANT: There are only a few tickets left for this event. Don't assume you can
purchase tickets at the door; if you would like to attend, please purchase your tickets
online NOW.

 RUFOS founder, Pete Hartinger mentioned Ancient Aliens Declassified 4-hour combination episodes are particularly good with additional scenes and info that had not been presented in
the original episodes of this Ancient Aliens franchise sub-series. You can see these episodes airing now (and perhaps on-demand) on the History Channel.
