How We Staged the
Morristown UFO Hoax
Continued from Page 38
national media coverage on Fox News
We followed up our light show with four more
performances, gaining media attention every
time. Every conspiracy website and radio show
was mentioning it. To add fuel to the fire, we
made appearances ourselves on News 12 New
Jersey, on the Jeff Rense Program (a radio show
that promotes conspiracy theories), and at an
Illinois UFO symposium hosted by MUFON.
We even provided our own footage.
To see a number of media stories, along
with the footage we shot of our hoax being
prepared and under way, follow the links at the

The icing on the cake came when the
popular History Channel show UFO Hunters
featured the Morristown UFO as their main
story one week. Bill Birnes, the lead investigator
of the show and the publisher of UFO Magazine,
declared definitively that the Morristown UFO
could not have been flares or Chinese lanterns. About the Video Producers
Surely Birnes, who has written and edited over
25 books and encyclopedias in the fields of
human behavior, true crime, current affairs,
history, psychology, business, computing, and
the paranormal, and the co-author of The Day
After Roswell (a New York Times bestseller in
1997 and subsequently a documentary on The
History Channel), could not have let himself be Randi, Carl Sagan, Michael Shermer,
fooled by a couple of twenty- somethings with
no formal education in psychology. He could.
This begs an important question: are
UFO investigators simply charlatans looking to Chris Russo has a degree in in management and

major cable networks? If a respected UFO
investigator can be easily manipulated and dead one pseudoscience at a time. He currently lives
wrong on one UFO case, is it possible he’s
wrong on most (or all) of them? Do the networks
buy into this nonsense, or are they in it for the
ratings? How can a television network that has
pretensions of providing honest and factual
programming be taken seriously when the topic
of one of their top rated shows deals with
chasing flares and fishing line? In fact, we
delivered what every perfect UFO case has:
great video and pictures, “credible”
eyewitnesses (doctors and pilots), and
professional investigators convinced that
something amazing was witnessed. Does this
bring into question the validity of every other
UFO case?
We believe it does.

SEEK REALITY
with
ROBERTA GRIMES
ROBERTA GRIMES is a business attorney
who had two extraordinary experiences of
light in childhood. She then spent decades
studying nearly 200 years of abundant and
consistent communications from the dead,
quantum mechanics, and the nature of
consciousness and she shares what she has
learned about what actually is going on in an
enjoyable and easily understood trilogy. The
Fun of Dying – Find Out What Really
Happens Next details what we now know
about the afterlife. The Fun of Staying in
Touch details some of the ways that the dead
give us signs of their survival, and also many
of the ways that we can communicate with
them. The Fun of Growing Forever reveals
what must be the easiest and most powerful
method for attaining rapid spiritual growth
and building your own best life, both while
you are on earth and forevermore.
Seek Reality explores the amazing
fact that neither mainstream science nor
mainstream Christianity is able to help us
much as we try to understand our one reality.
Together we use information from both
and consistent afterlife evidence to construct
a reasonable – and beautiful! – understanding
of what actually is going on. What will be
common knowledge in the second half of this
