BLINKY LIGHTS: JANUARY 2005 SIGHTING!!!

Here's a report that I posted back in 2005.

(Entered as : 01/27/2005 19:15)
Reported: 1/29/2005 8:23:15 AM 08:23
Posted: 2/8/2005
Location: Phoenix, AZ
Shape: Light
Duration:15 minutes

Leaving my girlfriend's grandparents house, noticed a blinking whitish light moving to the northwest. Thought that it was a plane, but didn't see the typical navigation lights or hear the engine(s). I got into the car and drove. I was on 44th Street and as I approached Indian School, I saw it again, moving in the same direction, very slowly. Must be a plane, I thought to myself. Trying to navigate, but periodically looking towards the sky, I could still see it as I approached Camelback Road. I watched it as it passed near a plane with the standard navigation and strobe lights. It continued the same heading as we approached the area where 44th Street curves to the east and changes into McDonald. Turned left on Tatum and I couldn't see it anymore. As I drove deeper into Paradise Valley, passed Lincoln, I saw it again, same or similar light, blinking and moving slowly. I saw this thing in the sky until I reached my home on the otherside of the Paradise Valley Mall. After I parked my car, I couldn't see it anymore.

A NOVEMBER SIGHTING!!!!

Here is a report that I filed with the National UFO Reporting Center about a sighting that occured on November 26, 2006.

PHOENIX, AZ 12:00 pm

A White/ Silver cylindrical object that seemed to hover high above the Paradise Valley/ North Phoenix area.I was sitting in my car that was facing north in the crowded Best Buy parking lot near the PV Mall waiting for my wife and a friend at about noon or a few minutes after. The sky was crystal clear and no visible clouds. As I waited, I noticed a cylindrical object that was high in the northern sky. I thought that it was a balloon, but noticed that it seemed motionless. I would guess that it was well above 5,000 feet in altitude. The object was whitish/ silver and seemed to be the size of an airliner, but it was difficult to judge, since it was so high up and there was no other reference points in the clear blue sky. This object stayed in the same location for about 3 minutes. I was distracted briefly by a phone call and when I returned to the sky, I noticed that the object had disappeared. I searched the sky and there was nothing. I then noticed two high flying jets and their contrails, their flightpath took them directly through the same area where the object was hovering previously.

ANOTHER UPDATE!!! CASTING!!!

As mentioned before, we will be shooting this feature documentary style and there will be re-enactment scenes. These scenes will require a good number of talent. Although we have most of the main characters positions filled, we still need to cast the few remaining main characters. We have also started casting for the re-enactment segment.

ATTENTION: UPDATED MAY 21, 2006....
We are also looking for actors to fill the roles of a Middle Class African American family. The characters are as follows:

Jacob: mid 30ish. Professional. Typical dad/ father figure.

Myrna: early 30s. Proud. Motherly, professional

Paul: 10-12 years old. Typical young boy.

Donna: 8-10 years old. Typical young girl.

CASTING UPDATE!!!

The production of our latest feature, CUPIC: DIARY OF AN INVESTIGATOR has begun. We are taking a totally different approach to this project. As mentioned before, we will be shooting this feature documentary style and there will be re-enactment scenes. These scenes will require a good number of talent. Although we have most of the main characters positions filled, we still need to cast the few remaining main characters. Soon, we will start casting the other roles per re-enactment segment.

Here’s a list of the remaining main character list:

  • Doctor Janet Raphael: Caucasian/ Latin. Late 50s/ Early 60s. As an astronomer, Janet is highly educated, but down to earth. She is the head of the CUPIC organization and shows much confidence in her position. She has a ton of experience, and looks forward to new challenges.

  • Mikhail Bartov Jr.:  Caucasian. Early 30s. Intelligent, handsome. Mikhail is smooth with the ladies, but is a professional on the job. Although he was born in Russia, he and his family moved to America when he was ten. He has no hint of an accent.

CUPIC: Feature Gains Momentum


This is an easier movie project to produce due to the very nature of it. But I also see the challenges. With that said, and Mike is in agreement, this will be a fun project due to many diffrent elements that are involved. The challenge will be to make it a convincing documentary about a ficticious organization.

The real interesting thing is that we are now in production. We have begun filming some of the interview segments. Many elements in this production make it very unique; a good script, many of the people who were involved with the earlier CUPIC projects are involved with this one. This is also a very flexible project compared to others. This is a huge opportunity to be creative and innovative.
