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 col

lecting 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, [email protected]. 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."

There are two time-critical items that I want to share now:
Dayton UFO Conference takes place this coming Saturday, July 11! Details are available at the link below under the events.
Is some kind of announcement coming on July 8?? There are tons of rumors flitting about regarding some kind of announcement or release or other significant event that could occur in conjunction with the 79th anniversary of the Roswell "flying disc" press release. Keep a watch on the various UAP-related news outlets tomorrow just in case. Personally I expect nothing will happen but I'm sharing just in case.

Here are a few recent topics we'll likely cover during the meeting if time permits:
Confirmation of monoliths on the moon? (Wow....was "2001: A Space Odyssey" yet another documentary??)
The Department of War Third UAP "PURSUE" File drop from June 12
Disclosure Forum June 25 synopsis
June 24 "Reality Under Revision" from The Visible College hosted in Georgetown VA
Mk-Ultra hearing results from June 30
Latest crop circle info from UK
The release of 30 USAF UFO related files to National Archives site.....and then quickly disappeared.
They're still available tho at:
https://hm05uap.substack.com/p/air-force-records-appear-and-disappear
Disclosure Day movie coming out on streaming through Amazon Prime August 1
ODNI UAP file release governance board and establishment of scientific review panel
The growing divide over controlled vs catastrophic disclosure and the people involved
Vanguard Enterprises
Rolling Stone report of Bigelow push for disclosure through Robert Kennedy Jr.
Of course the latest with Skinwalker Ranch Season 7 so far....
And more!

CE-5 field event / Alum Creek, Ohio / 04/25/2026. The IR camera was about 150 ft away watching the CE-5 group. The recording started at 20:25. Shortly after we started the meditation there was like a brief smoke or fog that seemed to pass in front of the camera going from right to left at 20:41:07. It appeared to be translucent as it did not block the image. At about 20:41:20 there was some type of interference that caused the image to flutter. This continued for about 3 minutes then the camera continued to record normally. This flutter seems to happen at our CE-5 events shortly before or after we start the meditation. The camera records for about 4 hours at every event without issues. It seems to coincide with the timing of the meditation. At 20:45:30 there is a small light / orb that starts to appear at the camera tripod. Under the camera is a speaker playing CE-5 related tones. The orb / light seems to fade in and out for several minutes. At 20:55:10 watch what happens. The person on the left is taking out her phone camera to take some pictures of the sky. At the same time the light / orb has been dark, and it comes on at its brightest intensity. It was almost like the light / orb was reacting to the person’s activity. 29 seconds later it went off. The camera continued recording until 21:17 when it froze on one image for five minutes. On the play back there is an image recorded on the timeline, but it was a frozen image. If anyone has experienced anything like this, I would appreciate hearing about it. It did seem like there was some type of interference with the recording during this CE-5 event. I also took some 6 second exposure still photos. Watch for a later post showing any results on them.

06/22/2026

Ed Copley - In a previous post about Glouster, Ohio on 06-09-26, I showed examples of strange captures in still photos and how a green laser was interrupted and turned red. Here is some video footage from an IR camera about 150 ft from the group. It started recording at 20:29. At 21:20 we started the CE-5 meditation. At 21:21:04 (about a minute into the meditation) there is some type of interference causing the video to flutter. This flutter seems to happen either just before we start a meditation or a little after we start the meditation. The ground was clear with no fog or smoke. The IR video is clear but at 22:06:37 what looks like a fog or mist is appearing to roll in from the right. It seems to be headed in the same direction as where we heard the clicks and later had the laser beam interference. The mist lasted for about 17 seconds then at 22:26 it appears that a mist is again coming in from the right only this time it seems more dense. Later in the evening we also captured photos of what looked like a shadow person around the group.

Ed Copley with Ohio CE-5 Ohio. On 06-09-26, 7 humans gathered for a CE-5 event. We met in a house where there were strong energies perceived. Moving into a neighboring field we held a meditation during which multiple people reported hearing clicks from the nearby wooded area. After the meditation I took 52 photos of the sky while an IR video camera was watching the field and people. Here are some strange images. First is 3 strange colored lights, over the tree line, in a dash dot dash formation. Next is a green rectangle glowing in a tree with a wavey line in the top left corner of the photo. Next there are 2 sets of lights, both with a second light vertical to each other. At first, I thought it was a bump of the tripod but note there is a star in the photo that is firmly stationary. From the IR camera there was a clear shot of the field and the group. The video recorded with a steady image, however about an hour into the recording and during the meditation, something caused the image to flutter for about a minute. I have seen this flutter in several of our events, and it seems to always be just before the meditation starts or shortly after it starts. There was no fog yet at 22:29 there was what appeared to be a translucent fog or mist that went across the field that almost obscured the image of the group. The fog / mist was moving toward the direction of the wooded area where we heard the clicks. After the meditation I was waving a high-power green laser along the brush line. One person took a couple photos and captured what looked like a human shaped fog or shadow with a head and body. The last photo is an AI representation of something multiple people witnessed. About 100 ft away along the brush line the laser seemed to pass through something that was translucent. I could see the beam near the brush seemed to have sparkles and break up a little then the end of the beam terminated in red. Something changed the power or frequency of the laser from green to a red light. One person walked to the area as I was holding the laser in that area but could see nothing. I walked to the area and found nothing unusual. Make of these finding what you will but I believe we were visited that evening by multiple NHI entities. We extended our welcome with loving hearts and they took notice.
