00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.400
This is UFO sidings today. John F. Schusler, a founder

2
00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:07.519
of what began as the Midwest UFO Network in nineteen

3
00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:10.439
sixty nine and for decades the steady hand at the

4
00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:15.080
Mutual UFO Network, died on July eleventh, twenty twenty six.

5
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:20.039
The Mutual UFO Network announced an aerospace engineer by training,

6
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:23.079
Schusler served for more than fifty three years as an

7
00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:28.239
investigator and international director emeritus, writing methodical articles for the

8
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:32.640
Mutual UFO Network Journal. He helped preserve cases such as

9
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:36.840
the cash Landrum incident, the nineteen eighty highway encounter where

10
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:41.799
witnesses reported a diamond shaped object, and later radiation sickness.

11
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:46.880
His passing removes a rare fixture of institutional memory. The

12
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:50.719
community has long noted a troubling pattern of notable losses.

13
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:54.759
Twenty twenty six has already claimed figures including Nick Pope

14
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:58.759
and Matthew James Sullivan, and Schusler's name is now added

15
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:03.000
to that list. On the Civilian siding Front, a Bucks County,

16
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:06.719
Pennsylvania witness says they filmed a cluster of bright orbs

17
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:11.120
on July thirteenth, twenty twenty six, at nine fifty four

18
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.719
pm the poster wrote they checked satellite tracking apps and

19
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:19.640
found no correlating satellites. The clip circulating online shows intermittent

20
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:25.079
motion and intense steady brightness, leaving local observers and amateur

21
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:31.359
analysts debating drones, reflections or something less ordinary. Online, the

22
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:35.200
conversation has turned to reactions to Vance's remarks about UFOs

23
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:38.760
and aliens on Joe Rogan and on the Hill, with

24
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:43.719
clips shared, hot takes posted, and users parsing whether political

25
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:49.799
theater or substantive disclosure is at work. Officially, investigators urge restraint.

26
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:55.040
The Pentagon's Anomaly Resolution Office continues to catalog military and

27
00:01:55.079 --> 00:02:02.079
civilian reports, while standard explanations satellites pro ownes atmospheric optics

28
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:08.439
instrumentation errors remain the first filters investigators apply. We'll keep
