The subject line screamed "Are ET Hybrids among us? Find OUT!" Despite the emphatic ALL-CAPS finale, I still didn't think anything of it. Maybe Toyota's newest hybrid is called the ET, and maybe they are among us, or at least at the nearest dealer.
To my surprise, it wasn't about Pruises. It was about the other kind of hybrid: the human-alien kind. The email, it turned out, was an invitation to this year's MUFON International Symposium, to be held at the JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort this July 18-21.
Does this mean there will be human-alien hybrids at the Symposium? If there were, I would be booking my trip right now. Sadly, though, there is no mention on the website of any kind of hybrid presence at all. So it was all a tease. Shame on you, MUFON. You of all people should know not to make claims about extraterrestrials that you can't back up!

I also got something in the email the other day that made me very happy. You may have read my past blogs here and here in which I was desperately searching for "A. Ranfone," the Van Gogh of alien illustrations.
"I knew Anthony Ranfone(Tony) in Boston in the 70's. I think he was from N. Andover, Ma. He went to Art School on Huntington Ave. He was and incredible artist not only as an illustrator but realistic oils and most mediums. I last saw him in 1975 when he told me about just creating the "Energy Ant" for the Government publications. He also asked me if I had heard of the Blue Book Project, but he didn't tell what it was. If you find him tell him Lxxxx and Jxxx say hi."

... and Ant. Energy Ant, that is. |
I don't know what's more exciting: the fact that I finally have a real link to Anthony Ranfone, or the fact that in 1975 Mr. Ranfone was asking people if they had heard of Project Blue Book, the UFO investigation project that had been cancelled by the Air Force several years earlier.
Clearly, there is more to Mr. Ranfone's interest in UFOs and aliens than meets the eye.
Mark my words, and make no mistake, and hear me well: I will find Mr. Anthony Ranfone, and when I do, I fully intend to tell him that Lxxxx and Jxxx say hi.

The MUFON Symposium will be having Steven Greer and Paola Harris as speakers. I guess I can miss this one without too much trouble.
Sorry to inform you that Anthony (Tony) Ranfone killed himself and his 2 children in 1982. Although talented and very intelligent, Tony suffered from mental illness. My sister was in the process of divorcing him when he decided to hurt her by murdering their children. You can find the article in the Washington Post archives.
Thank you for contacting me. I am sorry for your sister's loss.
I had been contacted by Mr. Ranfone's sister some time ago and she related the details of his and his children's death to me. It is an unimaginable tragedy.
