CAMPBELL, GLENN
In Rachel & Las Vegas, NV. Area 51 activist, director of Area 51 Research Center.

CARLOTTO, DR. MARK
In the mid 1980's, scientists, reviewing remotely sensed imagery of the Martian surface, came upon a geologic feature that looked very much like a human face. During the same period, TASC's Dr. Mark Carlotto developed an unique "shape from shading" algorithm that enables one to extract approximate elevation relief from imagery. The Martian imagery provided an excellent dataset for prototyping this algorithm as with no atmosphere and well understood reflectivity, the surface provides near perfect Lambertian reflection - and hence a means of determining relative surface normals.

CARSWELL AFB
Air Force base in Texas where a famous and well documented sighting took place at 2300 hours on 4th February 1954 in full view of the control tower personnel.

The object passed directly over the Carswell tower at 3-4,000 feet, and was described as having a long fuselage, elliptical wings and a stabilizer, but with no visible means of propulsion. No sound could be detected. The aircraft had a very bright light in the nose and tail, and two yellowish lights on the bottom.

Subsequent investigations revealed that no local aircraft were responsible, and that they was no unusual activity that could contribute to the sighting. The witnesses were described as 'completely reliable'

CAPENTER, JOHN
UFO Researcher who specialises in Abduction reports.

CASH, BETTY
Betty Cash was one of 3 people involved in the Cash/Landrum incident in 1980. She suffered more after effects than did her 2 companions as she was exposed the longest to the UFO which they came across whilst driving.

She tried suing the U.S Government as she claimed that the UFO must of been a secret craft being developed by the air force. She lost the case.

CASH/LANDRUM CASE
In December 1980, Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum and her grandson Colby Landrum, were driving along a road in Huffman, Texas when they saw a bright light in the sky. After driving a little more along the road, they came across a large diamond shaped UFO hovering over the road belching fire out of the bottom. Since the flames were blocking the road, they had to stop the car about 65 yards away from the craft and the three of them got out. Vickie and Colby stayed by the car, whereas Betty went on to get a closer look. She spent a long time gazing at it and her skin began to burn because of the heat from the flames. She returned to the car when the object began to rise and a large number of unmarked black helicopters chased after the UFO.

When they got home, they started suffering from sunburn, diarrhoea and vomiting. It has been claimed that the craft was a US attempt at making a UFO since it was spewing out flames at the bottom and was joined by many helicopters later on (See PROJECT SNOWBIRD).

CATHIE, BRUCE
New Zealand Airline pilot who claims to have discovered evidence for a world-wide grid system used by UFOs. Books: Anti-Gravity and the World Grid, Energy Grid: Harmonic 695 and the Pulse of the Universe Harmonic Conquest of Space.

CATTLE MUTILATIONS
A world-wide problem, cattle are killed and the body is left on the farm in various conditions. On studying the body, it has been found that the body has been _totally_ drained of blood and that there has been no trace of blood found anywhere on the ground around the body. Various incisions would also be found on the body that were so clear cut that they would have had to have been done with some sort of laser technology that we didn't have when the mutilations started (before 1970). Bones were also clearly cut with no bone fragments around the cut. The bodies would be missing various parts which had also shown to have been removed with accurate precision. UFOs have been linked with these mutilations since they have been sighted at the same time in the same area where the mutilated bodies have been found.

CAUS
Acronym for Citizens Against UFO Secrecy. A non-profit organization to uncover all existing documentation relating to government involvement in UFO investigations and research. To accomplish this, CAUS files numerous Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits in an attempt to get the government to release relevant documents. Their "Just Cause" quarterly newsletter carries events and provides updated UFO news from around the world.

CETIANS - (OR TAU CETIANS)

Very similar to caucasian humans on Terra except for SLIGHT differences (slightly pointed ears, higher physical 'density' for their size, slightly broader nose, 5' 5" tall on average, and often wear short 'Roman' or 'crew' style haircuts). Tau Ceti and Epsilon Eridani are said to be a major 'convergence' of exterran 'human' activity, and are said to be in alliance with the Pleiadeans (who in turn, according to contactees, have 'Federated' alliances with the Vegans, the Ummites, and others.).

CONDON, EDWARD
Edward Condon was the head of the Colorado University UFO Project. In 1969 they published 'Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects'. This was a very biased study against the reality of UFOs and helped the USAF in closing down Project Bluebook and thus finishing any 'Public' investigation of UFOs.

CONDON REPORT
In 1966 the US Air Force commissioned the University of Colorado to make a scientific study of UFOs which was to be headed by Dr Edward Condon.

In 1969 they published 'Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects' which set out to convey to the public an image of scientific impartiality, whilst systematically debunking the subject. Documents released under the FOIA show that the CIA have a heavy involvement in the report and that CIA was responsible for the reports biased negative conclusions. The findings of the Condon report were used to officially close down Project Blue Book.

COOPER, GORDON
NASA astronaut who is alleged to of claimed that NASA astronauts have witnessed and photographed UFO whilst in space.

COOPER, (MILTON) WILLIAM
Known as Bill Cooper, he seems recently to have gone a bit mad and is no longer respected by the majority of the UFO Community. Previously he worked for the US Air Force and claims to have then moved on into Naval Intelligence.

He started with a report on a UFO sighting he had while on the USS Tiru, a US Naval submarine. He then began to send in details about various secret projects that he alleged the US governments were involved in during his time in intelligence. When asked for evidence to back his claims up by UFO researchers, he replied abusively. His reports continued to be sent in and the researchers still questioned him about backup evidence. Eventually he was barred from Paranet.

Bill Cooper is now a highly paid lecturer who lectures about his "experiences" and also claims that JFK was assassinated by the driver of the car because he wanted to make details about UFOs public and that we had bases on the Moon and on Mars built in the 1950's.

Evidence : none for the bases and a seventh generation copy of the film showing the assassination that is very bad quality. He also claims that the aliens in US TV series "Alien Nation" are real aliens who were employed as part of an indoctrination program so that the public will accept the reality of aliens more easily.

Bill Cooper's sources for his hypothesis is a mixture of the claims of PAUL BENNEWITZ, BILL MOORE, JOHN LEAR and BOB LAZAR and added a few unfounded theories he invented himself. When Bob Lazar was on a phone-in in 1989 ("Billy Goodman's Happening", 21/11/89) while he was going public, Cooper called in and said that he had talked to Lazar for over a year and that he had checked out his claims and they are all genuine.

Then, some months later, Cooper changed his mind and says that Lazar is a fraud and had always known he was a fraud ever since he first went public. This is just one example of the many U-turns and inconsistencies that Cooper has carried out over the years. Or was he threatened by someone? We will have to keep an eye on this.

CURUC, INCIDENT AT
According to a recent article in the English science weekly, New Scientist (November 11, 1995, p. 12). [See also "Incident at Curuc ," by Patrick Huyghe in The Sciences (March/April 1996, pp.14-17)] The Brazilian event was reported in some newspapers at the time, and was even investigated by a Catholic missionary, Father Fidele d'Alviano, who wrote a report for L'Osservatore Romano, the papal newspaper. But d'Alviano's account had largely disappeared from view. It was first cited in a 1931 paper by Leonid Kulik of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, who initially investigated the Tunguska explosion, and then again in a 1989 article in The Journal of the International Meteor Organization by scientists Nikolai Vasilyev and Gennadij Andreev, referencing Kulik's original citation.
