CLOSE ENCOUNTERS NYC NEWS

The "CLOSE ENCOUNTERS NYC-NEWS" is A S.P.A.C.E. Explorers On-Line News Site focusing exlusively on close encounters news and activites in the New York City metropolitan area, homebase to many close encounter researchers, witnesses, groups and meetings. This international city was where the first grassroots UFO research organization was started in the early 1950s, CSI-NY, the Civilian Saucer Investigations of NYC.

The newsletters here cover the period of February 2005 through July 2006, and therefore serve now as archival reports as part of the continuing series of "S.P.A.C.E. Newsletters' that began as a print publcation in March 1992 when S.P.A.C.E. was founded.

The newsletters were in print editions until 2000, when there was a transition phase on creating the on-line versions of regular S.P.A.C.E. newsletters under different titles. The last print edition, issue #73, appeared in April 2001. The on-line editions have kept up the pace, making the S.P.A.C.E. newsletters the longest continuous publication of its kind in NYC for 18 years.

In July 2006 "CLOSE ENCOUNTERS NYC NEWS" (CEN-NYC) replaced this newsletter to continue the series, and can be visited on the link below. Yet another newsletter was published on-line in February 2010 as CEN-NYC information storage space was filled up making new entries impossible.

"THE EXPERIENCERS" MOVIE -- SEE PREVIEW HERE!

NEW YORK CITY, NY - There's a brief video preview sampler of the major documentary full-length feature movie - "The Experiencers" - made available by Tamago Films.

The movie, produced by Jeffrey Morehouse's Tamago Films, features several close encounter witnesses, including several from S.P.A.C.E., with diverse experiences. It is expected to be ready for release in the near future, in a venue yet to be announced, such as for movie theaters, on TV or as a DVD.

Jeffrey Morehouse and colleague Gus Scharr were actors in "The Abduction Project" play staged by the Collision Theory performance ensemble, based in New York City. The evocative play was based mainly on pre-production interviews, in 2000, with experiencers from three support systems, Budd Hopkins' Intruders Foundation, Dr. John Mack's PEER and S.P.A.C.E., along with a representative from SPACE.com, the space exploration and science web site.

The play, combining innovative movement and music styles, was performed in February and March 2001 at the HERE Arts Center, and, unique for Collision Theory, at the California Institute of Technology, home of JPL (NASA's deep space mission central), in April 2004.

Morehouse and Scharr approached Harold Egeln of S.P.A.C.E. about producing a feature documentary at a Collision Theory event in October 2001. Several experiencers, within and outside of S.P.A.C.E., were contacted, and filming of several of them was done in 2004. The movie went into post-production in 2005.

In January 2010 the movie is in the last phase of its five years of pre-production work, reports Morehouse, who added that the documentary will be unlike any other of its kind on the UFO abduction topic.

"They have all interacted with extraterrestrials," says the Tamago Films description of "The Experiencers." "What they show you may shock you. It may unlock you. It may unnerve you. It may give you piece of mind. The door is open."

"It was an enriching experience for all of us to be able to share our unique stories individually and through this form, telling our true stories, that will convey the depth and impact of our experiences," said Egeln. "We're grateful to have talented filmmakers who not only 'get it,' but who can truly get across this extraordinary experience of contact direct from our voices and hearts to the public."

The brief preview trailer does not include all the witnesses and experiencers who will be in the final movie. The preview sampler is available at the Tamago Films link below:
