Please contact us at tnmufon@gmail.com if interested and we can possibly facilitate that. We are also looking for members to start meetings in your area. Not a member? Join MUFON at www.mufon.com.

Regal Cinemas and East TN MUFON Team Up
Regal Cinemas and East TN MUFON Team Up
REGAL Cinemas, at the West Town Mall in Knoxville, has teamed up with Tennessee MUFON's East TN Section. On Saturday, March 30, 2013, East TN MUFON members/Field Investigators, set up a booth for the opening of the movie "The Host." This was the idea of the theater manager, Jed Woodcock. Many new prospective members checked out the tables set up, with information on MUFON, field equipment used on investigations, flyers detailing MUFON and how to join, and a drawing for a cool UFO model, set for our next meeting on April 16th (See above). Mr Woodcock extended an invitation to MUFON to be a part of any similar themed movie opening, thus creating a partnership in Knoxville with MUFON and business. Hopefully, we will get many new members and perhaps new Field Investigators. We heard several stories of sightings which were unreported, as MUFON was unknown to these people.
MUFON extends thanks to Regal Cinemas and their hand of friendship to MUFON and our mission statement!

Our 2011 State Conference in Murfreesboro turned out very well. It is true that we had about 25 less in attendance than we did last year, but success in not always measured in sheer numbers. This year we had about 65 people filling the Conference room, which ain't bad. The excitement and positive energy that was present throughout this day-long event was even more impressive than at our 2010 State meeting. Everybody seemed to have caught the contagion of Conference fever. The good cheer of the holiday season may have also helped to make this event so enjoyable. And the fact that we outdid ourselves this time by having THREE major speakers and two special guests from MUFON Headquarters made this Conference, in terms of the impact of the information received, the most intense one we have had so far.
One highlight of the 2011 Conference was seeing the splendid 3-D animations of sensational Tennessee sightings by our own Chris Bennett of Memphis. Fletcher Gray the National Manager of MUFON's Star Team who spoke at the Conference was so impressed by Chris' work that he has made him the official illustrator for MUFON Star Team cases. We are proud to see that Chris has already illustrated the cover of the January 2012 issue of the MUFON Journal. That's a great way to start the New Year (don't you think?) with one of our TN MUFON Team in the limelight on the cover of the Journal!
Some more positive fallout from the Conference is the fact that another one of our special guest speakers from Headquarters Dave McDonald, State Director of Kentucky and Interim Board Member, who is hosting the 2012 MUFON Symposium in his State this coming year, got to hear our own Thomas Reed from Knoxville tell his riveting story of multi-generational alien intervention and was so impressed that he has now invited Tom to be one of the major presenters at the Symposium. Another score for TN MUFON!
One other thing of note about our Murfreesboro State Meeting is the fact that it brought out some new witnesses to more amazing Tennessee UFO events of recent date that we would probably not otherwise have heard about. You will be reading about these in coming issues of our newsletter and on our website. One of these cases just might inspire Chris to do another one of his 3-D animations. And finally I want to express our gratitude to Sue Pitts of the Huntsville, Alabama MUFON group who showed up with 15 people. That's the kind of support we need to be seeing from cities like Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga, and Knoxville. We only got 6 from Memphis to attend this year. Our number one New Year's resolution MUST be to get hotly proactive local MUFON chapters started in our major population centers across our State.

Well, another year gone by. 2011 proved to be an extraordinary year for MUFON and Tennessee MUFON for number of Reports filed. We investigated 127 UFO Reports in Tennessee for 2011, thanks to a small, but dedicated group of Certified Field Investigators.
Star Team Cases have eluded us again. We had several we thought might be Star Team Cases, but would not meet the Star Team criteria due to lack of physical or measurable evidence. Sorry.....thanks for playing, but NO Cigar!
Our monthly CMS Ranking is still at 100%, month in and month out. We even captured the # 1 spot several months ago! Eddie and I were excited about that when it came out in our Report, but we are still not sure how they calculate it. Voodoo Math I suspect!
We still need Certified Field Investigators in all areas of Tennessee. Eastern Tennessee, South Central, and North Western Tennessee are areas we seem to have the most need in. If any Member is interested in Investigations, please contact me, or Eddie Middleton.
2011 ended on a positive note with our 3rd Annual State Conference we held in Murfreesboro in December. Thanks to Eddie Middleton our State Director, and Steve White (the guy that wears many hats). Their hard work in putting the Conference together was appreciated by all those that attended this year.In closing, I wish our Members a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year!
