As a UFO/UAP columnist, people drop me cards, letters, emails and such all the time. Many of them want to share a UFO sighting they had either recently or in some cases half a lifetime ago or more. Here are two elder recollections that I found in my files that were particularly engaging. The Bus in the Cow PastureIt was an overcast Thanksgiving Day in 1934.

It’s been an unprecedented year 2023, the UFO/UAP topic matter has been absolutely huge this past year. With Senate Hearings and Congressional House hearings in the news, it’s the number one issue by far in congressional office mail rooms this year. Public interest in UFO/UAP topic matter has far surpassed all the election year scandal bait that’s been circulated. The bottom line in the public interest has been about getting the truth out in the open.
Was it bats or an alien in the cellar?

Oct 28, 2023 | rdrnews.com | Cheryl Costa

Being in the UFO/UAP research field I get to meet a great deal of people at UFO/UAP conventions and conferences all over the United States. It’s common for me to meet experiencers who are willing to open up and share an out-of-this-world encounter with me. As a journalist, vetting such stories is an exceedingly difficult task. I served in Vietnam, 1971-1972.

‘Encounters’ a UFO detective story

Oct 7, 2023 | rdrnews.com | Cheryl Costa

On the 27th of September, Netflix debuted the first of four episodes of “Encounters.” It’s a new UFO-themed series produced by Stephen Spielberg's Amblin Television, Boardwalk Pictures and Vice Studios. For the UFO aficionado, it’s interesting but the program isn’t going to be revealing all the secrets of the universe that most of you truly want. The truth is this program has been tailored to enlighten the average citizen of the world.
UAP the phenomena - consciousness

Sep 30, 2023 | rdrnews.com | Cheryl Costa

In a previous column, I discussed UAPs in the context of hardware. In this column let’s go to the other side of the UAP phenomena, consciousness!I’ll state again as I have said previously, I am a trained mystic. 48 years as a Wicca Magickal practitioner and concurrently 26 years as a Tantric Buddhist practitioner.

UAP the phenomena-technology

Sep 23, 2023 | rdrnews.com | Cheryl Costa

After I announced on Facebook that I would be writing a new newspaper column, I was deluged with every sort of suggestion of what to write about.

Not too deep into presumed UAP technology, and I tend to stay away from conspiracy theories.

Recently, one of the televised Congressional hearings mentioned Non-Human-Intelligences visiting our little Blue Planet. Of course, afterward there was plenty of speculative buzz on the news wires and in social media.
