This document contains a history of ufos and their connection with the 
government. Be patient as this is a large file. 

Apr.  17, 1897..Aurora,  TX:  An airship supposedly crashed into Judge 
Proctor's (nonexistent)  windmill and disgorged the mangled body of  a 
little man believed,  for unspecified reasons, to hail from the planet 
Mars.   This (supposedly)  turned out to be a publicity stunt for  the 
town, whose population and economy were on the decline. 
  
1922..County  Donegal,   Ireland:  Irish Republic  Army  man, 
Lawrence  Bradley,   wrote to the editor of "Watford  and  West-Hersts 
Post"  magazine (4/30/64) that while he was fighting a scattered rear- 
guard,  mostly in the mountains of Donegal,  he came upon a cave  with 
vegetation at the entrance that had been scorched.  The only occupants 
in  the  cave were the sick and the wounded that had  been  unable  to 
walk.  The six able-bodied soldiers that were looking after them  said 
they had  been  awakened early pre-dawn by a whirring noise outside of 
the  cave  and had fired their rifles in the direction of  the  noise, 
thinking that it was an armored car. Suddenly the object retaliated by 
firing jets of flame at the cave entrance. After near suffocation, the 
soldiers ran out to see the flame throwing UFO ascending into the sky. 
Clearly  visible,  it was circular in shape and glowing and of a shiny 
metal. 
  
Feb.  26, 1942..SECRET MEMO to the President from Chief of Staff, C.G. 
Marshall  stating:   UFOs appeared over Los Angeles,   CA,   yesterday 
morning.   The 37th Brigade (AA)  expended 1430  rounds of  ammunition 
against  them.  No bombs dropped,  no casualties among our troops,  no 
planes  (UFOs)  shot down,  no AA or Navy planes were in action.   (AA 
Document, OCS 21347-86.) 
  
1944...........During WW II,  E.L.  (initials),  serving as  Carpenter 
Mate,  1st Class, Hqt. Co. 112th Construction Battalion, came across a 
landed saucer near a wooded ridge,  near the beach of Kaneohe,   Oahu, 
Hawaii.  Description:  50 ft. diam.;  metallic;  looked like an igloo; 
topped  with a clear glass dome about a foot high with a gold  colored 
weather vane-like device spinning inside. 
  
Sep. 4, 1946...TOP SECRET MEMO, to NO?- Mr. Morgan, from CON- Mr. Lyon 
stating: 800 reports (of UFOs) have been reported with new ones coming 
in  daily  from  Sweden.   Full details of  these  reports  have  been 
forwarded to Wash., D.C. by our Military and Naval Attaches. 
  
Jan.  1947...... W.H. (initials) of Yucca Valley, Calif.,  while still 
serving in the U.S.  Navy,  was on leave with C.C.(initials)  who  was 
just out of the U.S. army. While they were looking for desert property 
to  buy  they came upon the Papagos Indian Reservation,  north of  the 
rugged Superstition Mtns. west of Globe, Arizona. While traveling on a 
dirt trail,   they came upon a group of military  personnel guarding a 
crashed saucer half buried in the sand. Description:  Disc shaped with 
a domed top;  about 30  ft.  diam.;  two rings on its outer edge which 
seemed  to  have windows between them.  There was no  evidence  of  an 
encampment or heavy equipment. 
  
June  24,  1947..A civilian pilot,  Kenneth Arnold,  reports seeing  9 
flying saucers flying in formation at an altitude of 9200  feet and at 
almost 1700  mph. He estimated them to be 20 to 25 miles away from him 
and between 45 to 50 feet long. 
  
Jul. 2, 1947...Magdalene, N.M.: Mr. Barnett sighted a shiny object out 
in the desert and, upon investigation, came upon a crashed disc-shaped 
object,  9 meters (30 ft.)  across.  Later a military truck arrived to 
supervise the investigation of the crash site. Barnett saw dead bodies 
strewn  about the crash site.  They weren't wearing military uniforms, 
and in fact didn't even look human.  Seen from a distance,  the bodies 
had on silvery suits and appeared to be about 3 ft. tall. 
  
July  7,  1947...SECRET operation to recover a crashed saucer  in  New 
Mexico 75 miles northwest of Roswell Army Air Base (RAAF). 
  
(see 7/2/47;7/8/47) 
  
July 8,  1947...FBI, Dallas, sends teletype to director of FBI stating 
that a flying saucer crashed this date and was recovered near Roswell, 
N.   M.  RECOVERY B1-G,19.  July 8,  1947...The Roswell Army Air Force 
captured a downed flying saucer near Roswell,  N.M.  according to Maj. 
Marcel as reported by the Roswell Daily Record. Maj. J. A.  Marcel was 
intelligence officer at RAAF at the time. 
  
July  8,   1947...URGENT FBI MEMO from Gen.   Roger  Ramey  concerning 
"flying disc information":  "Maj.  Curtan,  HQ 8th AF,  telephonically 
advised  this office that an object purporting to be a flying disc was 
recovered near Roswell,  N.M.,  this date...Information provided  this 
office  because  of national interest in case and fact  that  (certain 
media  sources)   attempting to break the story of  location  of  disc 
today...(the recovered disc was)  being transported to Wright Field by 
special  plane  for examination...Maj.  Curtan advised  would  request 
Wright   Field  to  advise  (FBI)   results  of  examination."    (see 
7/2/47;7/7/47) 
  
Jul.   10,   1947..FBI MEMO:  Gen.  George F.  Schulgen organizes  top 
scientists  to  determine  if the flying discs  are  indeed  fact  and 
whether  or  not  they  are a foreign body  mechanically  devised  and 
controlled.   He  desired  the assistance of the FBI in  locating  and 
questioning  the individuals who firstsighted the discs.  Col.  L.  R. 
Forney  of MID indicated that it has been established that the  flying 
discs are not the result of any Army or Navy experiments and should be 
of interest to the FBI. 
  
  
July 12, 1947..In a declassified statement,  Kenneth Arnold points out 
why  the  unidentified discs he saw couldn't have  been  mirages:   "I 
observed  these objects not only through the glass of my airplane  but 
turned  my airplane sideways where I could open my window and  observe 
them with a  completely  unobstructed view (without sunglasses)." Jul. 
15,   1947..MEMO to Mr.  Ladd with a handwritten note from  J.   Edgar 
Hoover,   Director  of the FBI stating,  "...before agreeing  (to  the 
investigation of crashed saucers)...we must insist upon full access to 
discs recovered.  For instance in the Soc.  (Socorro,  N.M.)  case the 
Army grabbed it and would not let us have it for cursory  examination. 
July, 1947.....Conclusion to an FBI/ARMY INTELLIGENCE REPORT: Based on 
a detailed study of the Kenneth Arnold case (6/24/47) and 15 other UFO 
encounters  during the first month of the "flying saucer"  mystery the 
conclusion  is "this flying saucer situation is not all  imaginary  or 
seeing too much in some natural phenomenon. Something is really flying 
around."    (This   report   was  declassified   FOIA,    1976.    see 
6/24/47;9/23/47)  Mid July, 1947.  In a paper by U.S.  Navy Physicist, 
Dr. Bruce Maccabee, he stated: "...the Air Force knew by the middle of 
July,  1947  that saucers were real Flying Saucers are REAL!  and  not 
manmade...the technology represented by the (recovered)  disc...was so 
far    beyond   our   own   that   it   could   not   be    understood 
immediately...Therefore  it would be necessary to treat the disc as  a 
military  secret.  This would mean containing all information about it 
within  some  small group."  [Date of this Navy paper not  mentioned.] 
(see 1/31/49) 
  
Nov.  30, 1947..In a TOP SECRET DOCUMENT, Dr.  Bronk's scientific team 
classifies extraterrestrials as EBE's (Extra Biological Entities). 
  
Sept.    19,1947..The  recovered  crashed  saucer  in  New  Mexico  is 
determined  to  be a short range reconnaissance craft (from  a  mother 
ship). 
  
Sept.   23,1947..SECRET  BRIEFING DOCUMENT to  Brig.   General  George 
Schulgen,AC/AS-2,  from Lt. Gen. Nathan F. Twining (MJ-4),  Commanding 
Officer,  AMC,  stating:  Flying Saucers are REAL!  Concerning "Flying 
Discs"   the  phenomenon reported is something real,  not  fictitious. 
These  objects  approximate the shape of a disc and appear  to  be  as 
large as man-made aircraft.  They have operating characteristics  such 
as  extreme rate of climb and maneuverability.  Under a Security  Code 
Name copies of this information will be sent to Army, Navy, AEC, JRDB, 
SAG,   NACA,   RAND  and NEPA Projects.  (AAF Record,   U-39552.   see 
7/47;9/15/50;8/54) Sept. 24,1947..A covert operation, MAJESTIC-12,  is 
established  and  classified TOP SECRET by President H.   Truman.   It 
consists of 12 persons selected to control all branches of government, 
both  military and non-military.  This ultimately led to silencing  of 
UFO witnesses, confiscating of UFO photos,  harassing and debunking of 
witnesses (ref. "Black Budget"; JMP letter see 2/15/87;9/4/87) 
  
Dec.  30, 1947..Project SIGN formed to obtain information about saucer 
performance characteristics and their purpose on earth. B1-G,23 
  
1948...........Capt.   Edward  J.  Ruppelt stated:  "With the  Soviets 
practically  eliminated  as a UFO source the  idea  of  interplanetary 
spaceships  was becoming more popular."  [Exact date of statement  not 
mentioned.] 
  
Jan.  7,  1948...Maysville, KN:  The local Highway Patrol are notified 
that an UFO has been sighted high up in the sky and they notify Godman 
AFB of the sighting...At 1:45  pm T.  Sgt.  Quinton Blackwell visually 
scanned  the skies south of Godman AFB and picked out a dim  light  in 
the hazy sky.  By the time base commander Col. Guy Hix arrived at 2:20 
pm the UFO looked like "an ice cream cone"  through binoculars.  About 
20 minutes later 4 National Guard aircraft flew into the vicinity with 
Capt. Thomas Mantell in one of the F-51s. 
  
Jan.   7,  1948...(TS REPORT 100-203-79,p.12,sec.  k.)  Capt.   Thomas 
Mantell,  a Nat. Guard pilot,  was killed trying to chase an UFO up to 
30,000   ft.   His last message to the tower was,  "it appears  to  be 
metallic  object....of tremendous size....directly ahead and  slightly 
above....I am trying to close for a better look."  (The F-51  exploded 
in mid-air and disintegrated before it struck the ground. State Police 
estimated the saucer to be 250 ft. diam.) 
  
Feb.   13,   1948..Crash/Recovery at Aztec,  N.M.  Dr.  Gee  (actually 
GeBauer)  claimed to have been with the recovery team when 16   little 
human-like  beings  were  found dead aboard a crashed saucer  in  N.M. 
According  to  Jerome  Clark,  Gebauer and Silas  Newcomb  were  later 
arrested for trying to sell "worthless" UFO hardware. (No release date 
from prison?) 
  
Mar.  25,  1948..The Army OSI and the IPU put on Red Alert and the ADC 
activated the local military units when a UFO crashed in the  vicinity 
of  Aztec,   N.M.  When the saucer got into range of a  Special  High- 
Powered  radar at the Four Corners Range (Utah,  Arizona,  New Mexico, 
Colorado)  it began to flutter and wobble from side-to-side and took a 
trajectory  towards  the  ground.  It seems that the  beam  from  this 
special  radar had an ill-effect on the control system of the  saucer. 
The 100  ft.  saucer crash-landed on Mr.  H.D.'s (initials)  property. 
H.D. and family were sworn to secrecy. (see 3/22/50) 
  
1948...........Capt. "Posty" Postlethwaite of G-2 Air, cleared for Top 
Secret, received a TOP SECRET incoming TWX from 3rd Army Headquarters, 
Atlanta,   directed  to the Commanding General,  White  Sands  Proving 
grounds.  Message:  Crash of a 100 ft. diam. saucer, 30 ft.  ht.;  one 
portal window blown; 5 Aliens suffocated; each Alien approx. 4 ft.  in 
ht.,   oversized heads;  hull of craft paper-thin but impenetrable  by 
conventional tools.  Private property purchased to facilitate movement 
of recovered disc. (see 3/25/48) 
  
Apr.  5, 1948...(TS REPORT 100-203-79, p.12,Sec. L.) 3 trained balloon 
observers from the Geophysics Lab., N.J.,  sighted UFO travelling very 
fast and it appeared to execute violent maneuvers at high speed. 
  
Apr.  30, 1948..(TS REPORT 100-203-79, p.12,Sec. M.) Lt. Comdr. Marcus 
L. Lowe while on a flight observed a yellow or light colored sphere 25 
to 40 ft. diam. moving at a speed of approx. 100 mph against wind. 
  
June  15,  1948..(TS REPORT 100-203-79,p.12,Sec.P-2)  Mr.   Booneville 
observed  a reddish glow with a jet exhaust in the vicinity  of  Miles 
City,   Montana.   Made  no sound,  travelled at twice  the  speed  of 
conventional aircraft. 
  
July 1, 1948...(TS REPORT 100-203-79, p.12,Sec. N.) Maj. Hammer, Rapid 
City Air Base,  reported seeing 12  discs over the base.  These  disks 
were oval-shapedand about 100  ft. diam., speed in excess of 500  mph. 
Made 30  and 40 degree climbing turn, accelerating very rapidly out of 
sight. 
  
July  17,  1948..(TS REPORT 100-203-79,  p.12,Sec.  O)   Kirtland  AFB 
reported 7 UFOs flying a "J"  formation in the vicinity of San Acacia, 
N.M.,  at altitude of 20,000 ft. Formation varied from "J"  to "L"  to 
"O" after passing zenith. Est. speed 1500 mph. 
  
July 20,  1948..(TS REPORT 100-203-79,p.12,Sec.Q)  A.D.  Otter and his 
daughter  Arnham,  in the Netherlands,  sight UFO similar to  the  UFO 
sighted  on  July 25,  1948,  by two Eastern  Airlines  pilots.   (see 
7/25/48) 
  
July 25,  1948..(TS REPORT 100-203-79,p.12,sec.Q) Two Eastern Airlines 
pilots  reported  seeing an object like a huge V-2  Rocket pass  their 
jet.    Sighted  4  times  through  scattered  clouds  and   unlimited 
visibility,  travelling at high speed and high altitude.  Description: 
Appeared wingless,  had two decks, and made a sound similar to that of 
a V-2. (see 7/20/48;8/3/48;1/31/50) 
  
Aug.   3,  1948...(TS REPORT 100-203-79,p.12,Sec.R)  UFO sighted  over

white  light  approaching,   changing  to  twin  reddish  glows   upon 
withdrawal. Est. speed: 1000knots. 
  
Oct.  1,  1948...(TS REPORT 100-203-79,p.12,Sec.S)  2nd Lt.  George F. 
Gorman (North Dakota Air Nat. Guard), sighted a UFO 3000 ft. below him 
while  he was flying his F-51  at 4500  ft.  The pilot pursued the UFO 
which took evasive tactics.  The UFO out-turned,  out-speeded and out- 
climbed the F-51 in every attempt at intercept. The pilot lost contact 
with the UFO. 
  
Oct.  15, 1948..JAPAN, an F-61 "Black Widow" fighter tracked an UFO on 
radar  and  tried to intercept it 6 times without success.   It  would 
speed up from 200  mph to 1200  mph,  leaving the interceptor  behind. 
Description:  shaped like a rifle bullet and apparently 20 to 30  feet 
long. 
  
Nov. 18, 1948..Report from Project SIGN, incident No. 207 in Blue Book 
files:  at approx. 2200 hours, Lt. Henry G.  Combs (AFRes)  spotted an 
oval  shaped  UFO while flying in a T-6  plane.  The  UFO  accelerated 
rapidly from 80  mph to 500 or 600 mph.  It remained under observation 
for some 10 minutes. The UFO displayed "evasive controlled tactics and 
an  ability  to perform tight circles,  quick variation of air  speed, 
vertical  ascents and evasive movements."  This occurred over  Andrews 
AFB. 
  
Nov. 23, 1948..Wire Report from GERMANY to Project SIGN: Capt. (blank) 
is an experienced pilot and completely reliable.  While flying an F-80 
over  a US Air Base in the Fursten-Feldbruck area of Germany,  he  had 
radar and visual contact with a circling red-lighted UFO at 2200 hours 
at 27,000  ft.  Ground radar determined that it was going 900  mph and 
climbed quickly to 50,000 ft. in a matter of minutes and dissappeared. 
  
Dec.   10,   1948..TOP SECRET Air Intelligence REPORT No.   100-203-79 
issued. (see 1/7/48 thru 11/1/48) 
  
Dec.   ,   1948....Project  SIGN evolves into Project  GRUDGE  and  is 
conducted  under the code name BLUE BOOK.  The liaison between Project 
GRUDGE and MJ-12 is the Air Force officer in head of BLUE BOOK. (Capt. 
Ruppelt?)(see 3/52) 
  
Jan.  6,  1949...Rocket shaped UFO sighted near Los Alamos, N.M.  (see 
1/31/49;7/25/48) 
  
Jan.  13, 1949..CONFIDENTIAL 4th Army MESSAGE: Col.  Eustis L.  Poland 
stated:   "Un  conventional Aircraft"  have been sighted (see  Report, 
Control No.A-1917). Possible Radiological warfare tests are being made 
over sensitive Bases in New Mexico area. A foreign power may be making 
"sensing  shots"   with some super-stratosphere devise designed to  be 
self-disentegrating. 
  
Jan.  31,  1949..CONFIDENTIAL Army Staff MESSAGE:  Approx.  30  people 
sighted UFOs on Jan.  30, 1949. Estimate at least 100 total sightings. 
Sightings reported from El Paso,  Alburquerque,  Alamogordo,  Roswell, 
Socorro,  and other locations.  All sightings appear to be of the same 
object viewed from different angles. Will attempt to locate the impact 
point, if any. (Possible search teams in UFOs.) 
  
Jan.   31,   1949..MEMO,  DIRECTOR OF FBI:  Flying Saucers  have  been 
discussed by the OSI,  FBI and the Fourth ARMY and is "considered  TOP 
SECRET  by Intelligence Officers of both the Army and the Air Forces." 
It was thought that the first UFOs over Sweden were of Russian origin. 
MEMO also makes reference to the Eastern Airlines sighting of July 25, 
1948.   Also,  on 10  different days,  between 12/05/48  and 01/06/49, 
sightings  of  UFOs  were concentrated over the A.E.C.  plant  at  Los 
Alamos,   N.M.  (Circulation of this MEMO to:  El Paso,  Little  Rock, 
Dallas, Oklahoma City. see 7/25/48;7/47;8/4/50) 
  
Feb.  4,  1949...CONFIDENTIAL Army Staff MESSAGE dated Jan.  31,  1949 
read by OSI: "all out investigation of possible crashed saucer, OK'd." 
  
Feb.,  1949.....Part of the Final Report of Project SIGN,  written  by 
Prof.  George Valley, of MIT stating: "If there is an extraterrestrial 
civilisation  which can make objects as are reported,  then it is most 
probable  that  its  development is far in advance  of  ours...such  a 
civilisation might observe that on earth we now have atomic bombs  and 
are fast developing rockets.  In view of the past history of  mankind, 
they would be alarmed. We should, therefore, expect at this time above 
all to behold such visitations." 
  
Apr.  24,  1949..Arrey, NM: Aerologist Charles B.  Moore,  Jr.,  while 
tracking  a  weather baloon for General Mills Co.  with  a  theodolite 
suddenly  noticed  an  UFO rapidly crossing the sky.  He and  4  other 
technicians turned the 25 power theodolite to track the UFO.  It was a 
featureless ellipse,  its length about 2-1/2  times its width.   After 
about  60  seconds the object dissappeared in a sharp climb.  Based on 
measurements  with the mountain range behind it,  it was calculated to 
be going between 18,000 mph and 25,000 mph (in the atmosphere!). 
  
May 22, 1949...Secretary Forrestal (MJ-3)  is found dead after falling 
16  floors from an insane assylum window. [He was supposedly shouting, 
"we're  being  invaded!"   before  he  fell  to  his  death.] June 10, 
1949..White Sands, NM: Scientists tracking a test missile at 2,000 ft/ 
second  suddenly  picked  up two small circular UFOs  that  paced  the 
missile. One of the UFOs passed thru the missiles exhaust and rejoined 
the other UFO,  and together they quickly accelerated upwards  leaving 
the  missile  behind.   Cmdr.   McLaughlin  received  reports  from  5 
observation posts: ALL had witnessed the performance of the 2 circular 
UFOs. 
  
Jan.  16, 1950..CLASSIFIED USAF Staff Message: At a radar station near 
New  Mexico a person reported seeing 2 saucers.  One was badly damaged 
the other almost perfectly intact.  Description:  Each consisted of  2 
parts,  a  cockpit or cabin about 6 ft. diam.; a ring approx.  18  ft. 
across and 2 ft.  thick surrounding cabin,  resembling aluminum,   but 
actual metal has defied analysis by the Dearborn Plant. 2 crew members 
in the damaged  ship were charred but in the undamaged ship the 2 crew 
members were perfectly preserved. 
  
Jan.  22,  1950..Kodiak,  Alaska:  U.S.  Navy patrol plane pilot,  Lt. 
Smith,  was on routine security flight when he picked up a radar track 
on an UFO, two times.  Smith then radioed Kodiak radar station and was 
advised that no known traffic was in his radar area.  Moored south  of 
Kodiak  was  the USS Tillamock with Master Morgan standing  on  watch. 
Suddenly,  at 3 a.m.,  "a very fast moving red glow appeared to be  of 
exhaust nature, seemed to come from the south-east, moved clockwise in 
a large circle in the direction of, and around Kodiak and returned out 
in a  generally  south-east direction. The UFO was moving so fast that 
it  was  actually leaving a streak on Smith's radar  screen.   It  was 
estimated  to  be moving at a speed of 1800  mph.  Described  as  "two 
orange  lights  rotating about a common center like two  jet  aircraft 
making  slow rolls in tight formation."  The UFO then made  an  abrupt 
turn  and  headed directly towards Smiths'  aircraft in a  threatening 
gesture  so Smith quickly turned off all of his lights turn  make  his 
plane  less conspicuous in the inky colored sky.  The UFO flew by  him 
and disappeared in the south-east in a matter of minutes. 
  
Jan.  31,  1950..Office MEMO,  Director FBI, SAC, San Antonio:  A  UFO 
resembling  a rocket ship without wings appeared out of a  thunderhead 
of clouds narrowly missing an Eastern Airlines flight and  disappeared 
into another cloud. It was travelling approx. 2700 mph and no sound or 
air disturbance was noted with it.  During the past two months the UFO 
sightings appeared to be concentrated near Los Alamos,  N.M.  This UFO 
was also sighted near Los Alamos on Jan. 6, 1949. (see 7/25/48) 
  
March.   22,   1950..FBI  MEMO:  3  saucers recovered in  New  Mexico. 
Description:  Circular with raised centers, approx. 50 ft. diam.  Each 
one occupied by 3 bodies, only 3 ft. tall,  dressed in metallic suite, 
taped like high-speed flyers.  It is believed that a very high powered 
Radar  Station interfered with their control mechanisms,  causing them 
to crash. (see 3/25/48) 
  
Mar.  22, 1950..Dept. Transportation, Ottawa, Canada,  announces plans 
to build and test free energy geomagnetic engine. Also state that "Dr. 
Vannevar  Bush  heads  Highest Secret saucer  research  group  in  the 
U.S.A.".  Mar. 31, 1950..MEMO to Director, F.B.I. pertaining to flying 
saucers.   Memo  names  a person in Denver,  Colorado that  claims  to 
possess a UFO radio transmitter. 
  
Aug. 1, 1950...Gen. Walter B. Smith fills the vacant MJ-3 position. 
  
Aug.  4,  1950...CONFIDENTIAL MEMO from Lt.  Colonel Mildren (G-3)  to 
Maj.  U.G. Carlan (GSC Survey Section): Since July 30, 1950, UFOs have 
been  sighted  over  the Hanford AEC Plant.  Air Force jets  fails  to 
intercept them. FBI, anti-aircraft battalion,  radar units and fighter 
squadrons  alerted for further observation.  Atomic Energy  Commission 
still investigating. 
  
Sep.15,   1950...Notes  from a conference between  Canadian,   Wilbert 
Smith,  and Dr. Robert Sarbacher,  scientist reveals:  Frank Sculleys' 
book,  "Behind the Flying Saucers"  is true and substantially correct. 
Flying Saucers do exist.  The Government hasn't been able to duplicate 
their  performance.  It's pretty certain they didn't originate on  the 
earth.   The  subject is the highest classified SECRET in  the  United 
States; two points higher than H-bomb research. (see 9/23/47; 1/26/53) 
  
Oct.  6,  1950...CONFIDENTIAL MEMO,  Headquarters,  5th Army Division: 
John de Reneaux photographed the saucer which crashed near Aztec, N.M. 
He  said that "army officials"  had attempted to take the  photographs 
away  from him but that he had given them another roll of film.  In  a 
further  interview  with the 5th Headquarters,  de Reneaux denied  any

July  10,  1951..CLASSIFIED OSI Message from Robins AFB,  Macon:   UFO 
sighted by Lt. George H. Kinmon Jr. on July 9, 1951. Description: Flat 
on  top and bottom and appeared from front view to have rounded edges, 
slightly beveled. Color was white.  When it dived from its position it 
appeared circular with a clockwise spinning motion. Appeared to have a 
fractured surface. No exhaust fumes or visible means of propulsion. At 
an  approx.  distance from his plane the UFO appeared to be 10  to  15 
feet in diam. UFO caused air disturbance as it barrel-rolled under his 
plane. His nose camera malfunctioned. 
  
Sep.  10,1951...CONFIDENTIAL Air Intell. REPORT: Maj.  Ballard and Lt. 
Rogers while flying at 20,000  ft. in a T-33 spotted a disc-shaped UFO 
the size of an F-86  flying below them at 8000  ft.  It was travelling 
much faster than they were (900+  mph). It was steady in flight,  with 
no  visible means of propulsion and shiny silver in color.  The  radar 
station  at Ft.  Monmouth plotted the same UFO on radar at  1110   EDT 
flying above 700 mph. 
  
Oct.,  1951.....Project GRUDGE is on hold,  Intelligence Officer Capt. 
Edward  J.   Ruppelt has been assigned to reshape the study and  field 
mounting concern for the Pentagon.(see 12/48; 3/52) 
  
Oct.   21,  1951..Air Intelligence Report:  Mr.  (name  withheld),   a 
civilian  pilot  of 14  years experience sighted a disk-like,   highly 
polished  UFO  which  closed  head on with his  Navy  aircraft  at  an 
extremely  high rate of speed near Battle Creek,  MI.  [Missed him,  I 
guess!] 
  
March,   1952....Capt.   Edward J.  Ruppelt recommends a new name  for 
Project Grudge, "Project Blue Book". (see 12/48; 10/51) 
  
Apr 25, 1952...UFO sighted flying over San Jose, CA, near Mt. Hamilton 
by  two scientists,  Dr.  W  (biochemist;  name withheld)  and Dr.   Y 
(bacteriologist, name also withheld). Description of hovering disk: at 
about 50  ft. it appeared to be 4 to 5 ft. in diam.  The wobble of the 
disk allowed them to estimateits'  thickness to be approx. 1.5 ft.  No 
sound  or means of propulsion observed.  Later they observed a  higher 
flying  silvery disc approx.  100  ft.  in diam.  Next to it more UFOs 
appeared  and  bobbed  around like boats in  a  stream.   The  objects 
disappeared around 11:15 a.m. The two scientists decided not to report 
the incident to Moffett Field for fear of ridicule. 
  
1952?..........SECRET SECURITY INFORMATION,  CIA, (not dated):  Walter 
B.   Smith,   (MJ-3   replacement),   Director  of  CIA  notifies  the 
Psychological  Strategy Board that "Flying Saucers"  have implications 
for psychological warfare as well as for intelligence and  operations. 
Suggests discussion on the possible offensive or defensive utilization 
of these phenomena for psychological warfare purposes. (see 10/2/52) 
  
May  10,   1952...RESTRICTED USAF Intelligence Report signed  by  Col. 
William L.  Travis, Chief USAF Intelligence Division. stating: at 2030 
hours,   in  the city of Paphos,  S.W.  Cypress,  a  group of  persons 
including  a noted British Scientist sighted an UFO which appeared  to 
rise  sharply from the level of the sea and disappeared into the  sky. 
It  was of a circular shape and emitted a luminous light.  It appeared 
to waver back and forth before fading out of sight directly overhead. 
  
June   4,    1952...RESTRICTED  USAF  Intelligence  Report.    Summer, 
1952...While Operation INTERCEPT was in effect,  two North American F- 
86 OPERATION INTERCEPT Sabre fighters were vectored onto a target UFO. 
The  pilots  had  a broad daylight view of the UFO  and  fired  tracer 
bullets  at  it before it accelerated out of range.  The  officer  who 
fired the bullets was debriefed by his Colonel (name withheld) and the 
base commander told Capt.  Ruppelt to destroy the report (according to 
Ruppelt himself).(see 7/52) 
  
July 19,  1952..Washington, D.C.: Long range "overfly" RADAR picked up 
a  formation of seven blips that were 15  miles south and not far from 
Andrews  AFB.   Radar  operator,  Ed Nugent,  thought that  they  were 
military  traffic  until two of the targets  suddenly  accelerated  at 
fantastic speeds and  disappeared  off  the radar scope. These strange 
UFOs  were  monitored  by  Harry  Barnes,   Senior  Controller,    and 
controllers Howard Cocklin and Joe Zacko.  Also,  Andrews AFB had also 
been tracking the UFOs as they intruded over the White House which was 
WASHINGTON Air Space restricted air space.  The UFOs were traveling at 
speeds  of up to 7000  mph before stopping abruptly and then  cruising 
about in unconventional patterns. (see 7/26/52) 
  
July 20,  1952..CLASSIFIED SPOT INTELLIGENCE REPORT (dated 7/23/52): 3 
UFO spotted by 5 base personnel at Andrews AFB at 0030 hours EST. UFOs 
reddish  orange  in  color,  moving  erratically  at  an  undetermined 
altitude. Approach Control picked up another UFO at 0415 EST which was 
on the radar scope for 30 seconds before fading. Lt. Hyatt, Operations 
Officer  during this period,  said that he had been receiving  "flying 
saucer"   reports that evening and the objects had been picked  up  by 
radar. 
  
July 23,  1952..In a letter to a Mr. Louis A. Gardner, Albert Einstein 
said  with regards to UFOs,  "those people have seen something.   What 
they saw I do not know and I am not curious to know." 
  
July 26, 1952..Washington, D.C.: Long range "overfly" RADAR picks more 
blips,   just  one week after the previous invasion of restricted  air 
space over Washington,  D.C. Capt. Ruppelt told Maj.  Dewey Fournet to 
get over to the airport in Washington.  Fournet was a radar specialist 
with  Project  HOLCOMBE and arrived at the airport with Al  Chop,   AF 
Press Officer, just in time to see the UFO blips on the radar sets and 
to  hear  ground-to-air  conversations  of the  pilots  of  two  F-94s 
vectored towards the UFOs. 
  
July 28,  1952..Personal Minute from Prime Minister W.S.  Churchil  to 
Secretary  of xxxxxxx Air Ministry stating:  What does all this  stuff 
about Flying Saucers amount to?  What can it mean?  What is the truth? 
Let me have a report at your convenience. (see 8/9/52) 
  
July 29, 1952..SECRET,  EYES ONLY MEMO to Deputy Director/Intelligence 
from  Ralph  L.   Clark,   Acting  Assistant  Director  of  Scientific 
Intelligence  stating:  In the past several weeks numerous  UFOs  have 
been sighted visually and on RADAR. This office (CIA) has maintained a 
continuing review of reputed sightings for the past three years and  a 
SPECIAL  GROUP has been formed to review the sightings to date.   O/CI 
and  O/SI will participate in this study and prepare a report on  UFOs 
by August 15, 1952 
  
End of July....1952...SECRET MEMO to Director,  CIA, from H.  Marshall 
Chadwell, Office of Scientific Intelligence stating: ATIC has set up a 
worldwide  reporting  network for Flying Saucers and major  Air  Force 
bases  have  been  ordered to make INTERCEPTIONS  of  UFOs.   Battello 
Memorial  Institute  is  to handle machine indexing  of  all  official 
reported sightings.  From 1947 to date, there have been 1500  official 
sightings with 250  of them in 1952  alone.  Of the 1500,  28%  remain 
UNEXPLAINED.   UFOs  are of such importance that the matter should  be 
brought  before  the National Security  Council.   9/19/76;   5/10/80; 
5/19/86; 9/4/87) 
  
Aug.   1,  1952...CIA MEMO from acting Chief of Weapons and  Equipment 
Division:  "It is strongly urged,  however,  that no indication of CIA 
interest or concern reach the press or public." 
  
Aug.   9,  1952...Reply from Air Ministry,  Whitehall,  S.W.  to  W.S. 
Churchill   stating:   All  UFO  sightings  are  either   astronomical 
phenomena,   mistaken sightings of balloons,  birds,   etc.,   optical 
illusions   or   hoaxes.   The  Americans  have  reached   a   similar 
conclusion.(see 7/28/52) 
  
Aug.  16,  1952..CIA analysis report of a Vienna news article of a UFO 
report  from  the Belgian Congo:  Commander Pierre  of  Elisabethville 
Airfield  was  sent out to intercept two Flying Saucers.  They  had  a 
diam.  of 12  to 15  meters with a stationary central hub with visible 
portholes  and an extremely fast rotating outer disk that glowed as if 
on  fire.  Color similar to aluminum.  They emitted a  loud  whistling 
sound  which could be heard over his own engines.  He estimated  their 
speed at over 1500 kilometers/hour. (see 7/52) 
  
Aug. 20, 1952..Memorandum for Director CIA: the DCI,  after a briefing 
by  OSI on the subject of UFOs,  directed the preparation of an  NSCID 
for  submission to the Council stating the need for investigation  and 
directing  agencies concerned to cooperate in such investigations.  It 
was  decided that Dr.  Whitman,  chairman of P&DB,  would  investigate 
undertaking  R&D  studies  through Air Force  agencies.   Signed:   H. 
Marshall Chadwell. (see continuation of thisbriefing, 11/25/52). 
  
Aug. 23, 1952..CIA analysis report of an Athens news article of an UFO 
landing in Communist Berlin, Germany:  Former Mayor of Gleimershausen, 
Oscar Linke and his 11  year old daughter, Gabriella, spotted a landed 
Flying Saucer near  the  town of Hasselbach. The huge "frying pan" was 
approx.  13 to 15  meters in diameter and had two rows of holes on its 
periphery,  about 30  centimeters in circumference.  The space between 
the two rows was about 0.45  meters. On top was a black conical object 
about 3  meters  high. Two men dressed in shiny metallic clothing were 
standing  outside the craft.  Upon hearing my daughters voice the  two 
men  retreated  into the UFO which then began to rotate.  As  the  UFO 
began  to  spin the conical tower slid down into the UFO and  the  UFO 
began to rise and rotate like a top.  It seemed to be supported by the 
conical tower that was now underneath it.  (more details were included 
in report, see 02/23/55) [See also the movie "Earth vs. the F.S."] 
  
Sep.  19, 1952..Air Ministry, London: A  number of airmen and officers 
of the R.A.  F.,  Topcliffe,  observed an UFO.  As it descended it was 
swinging  in a pendular motion like a falling leaf.  Pendulous  motion 
ceased  and  object began rotary motion about its own axis.   Suddenly 
accelerated at an incredible speed. 
  
(9/19/52,  cont'd) It was not identifiable with any known aircraft and 
acceleration  was  in excess of that of a shooting  star!   Craft  was 
silver in color and circular. 
  
Sep.  20,  1952..An UFO similar to the Topcliffe one (see 9/19/52)  is 
sighted  over a U.S.  Carrier ship out with the fleet between  England 
and Scandinavia.  An American photographer doing a story of the  fleet 
exercise  took  pictures of the UFO which was ascertained not to  have 
been  a balloon.  The Navy never released the photos of the UFO.  (see 
9/19/52) 
  
Sep.   21,  1952..Six RAF jets on maneuvers over the North Sea  saw  a 
"sphere"   heading  towards  them,  coming from the direction  of  the 
English fleet. It was tracked on radar then disappeared and reappeared 
behind  them.   One  Meteor  pilot  attempted  an  intercept  but  was 
completely  outrun  by the UFO.  Capt.  Ruppelt was later told by  RAF 
Intelligence  that the incidents of the past three days caused the RAF 
to officially recognize the UFO situation. (see 7/52; 6/24/53) 
  
Oct.  2, 1952...SECRET MEMO to Director CIA from H. Marshall Chadwell, 
Assistant Director of Scientific Intelligence:  ATIC is the only group 
devoting appreciable effort to  the study of UFOs. Flying Saucers pose 
two elements of danger to the United States.  The  first involves mass 
psychological considerations and the second  concerns vulnerability of 
the U.S.  to  air  attack. Recommend that the DCI discuss this subject 
with the Psychological Strategy Board. (see 11/25/52) 
  
Oct.   27,  1952..Air Intelligence MEMO:  "Some military officials are 
seriously  considering the possibility of (UFOs being)  interplanetary 
ships. 
  
Nov.   18,  1952..MAJESTIC-12  briefing document to President  (elect) 
Eisenhower from Admiral R. Hillenkoetter (MJ-1). 
  
Nov. 25, 1952..(cont'd briefing from 8/20/52): Memorandum for Director 
CIA: Another meeting by A-2  and ATIC personnel was held on this date. 
UFOs  must have immediate attention.  UFOs have been sighted at  great 
altitudes  and at high speeds in the vicinity of major  U.S.   defense 
installations  and can NOT be attributed to natural phenomena or KNOWN 
types of aerial vehicles.  OSI is proceeding to establish an immediate 
PRIORITY  research  and development on UFOs under the aegis of  CANIS. 
Signed: H. Marshall Chadwell. (see 8/10/52; 10/2/52; 11/25/52) 
  
Dec. 2, 1952...Statement by H. Marshall Chadwell, Assistant 
Director  of  Scientific Intelligence,  CIA:  "The  reports  of  (UFO) 
incidents  convince us that there is something going on that must have 
immediate attention. (see 10/2/52; 11/25/52) 
  
1953...........Director of Project Blue Book,  Capt.  Ruppelt  stated: 
"Two  RAF Intelligence Officers who were in the U.S.  on a  classified 
mission  brought six single-spaced typed pages of questions  they  and 
their friends wanted answered regarding UFOs. (see 9/21/52) 
  
1953?..........Pilot (name withheld)  stated,  "a saucer crashed in  a 
desert area".  He was sure that it was just inside the Arizona border. 
He also saw the  bodies first-hand at Wright-Patterson AFB. The crates 
arrived at night by DC-7.  Description of bodies: approx. 4 ft.  high. 
Resting  un-shrouded  on  a special blanket on dry  ice.   Heads  were 
hairless, narrow, disproportionately large for their bodies.  Skin had 
brown tint.  Open eyes, small mouth, indistinct nose,  hands and feet.

Prof. Luis Alvarez, Dr. Lloyd Berkner and Prof. Thornton Page. 
  
Jan.  26,  1953..The Dept.  of Defense, Washington,  D.C.  states in a 
letter  to  the Henry Holt & Co.  that Maj.  Donald Keyhoes'  book  on 
"flying  saucers"   is  accurate and that if the  reported  controlled 
maneuvers  of  the saucers are accurate then the saucers may  be  from 
another planet.  Signed,  Albert M. Chop,  Air Force Press Desk.  (see

July 19, 1953..CONFIDENTIAL Message to the Adjutant General, Wash.  25 
D.C.:   An  F-86  aircraft was observed in flight over the  Oak  Ridge 
residential  area by a writer and his wife.  While observing the  F-86 
through 6 power field glasses an UFO,  black in color,  moved out of a 
high  white  cloud  directly over the area where the  F-86   had  been 
circling.  The UFO began circling at a tremendous speed for at least 5 
minutes. It appeared at times to be cigar shaped and at other times to 
be  round  in  shape.   No sound or visible means  of  propulsion  was 
observed  from the UFO.  It flew away at tremendous speed for 3  miles 
where  it  was joined by 2 other UFOs into a 'V'  formation  and  sped 
away.(see 7/27/53) 
  
July 26, 1953..EMERGENCY message to Air Defence Command:  CIRVIS 3346N 
9632W sighted 7 UFOs hovering at altitude of 5 to 8 thousand feet near 
Perrin  Tower,   TX.   Visually observed by citizens  of  Denison  and 
Sherman,  TX.  The UFOs were grouped in a Z (Zebra)  formation,   then 
circled  to higher altitudes and faded from sight.  Each UFO  had  one 
bright red light on it. 
  
July 27, 1953..SECURITY INFORMATION,  CONFIDENTIAL MESSAGE to Adjutant 
General, Wash. 25 D.C. (see 7/19/53 ) 
  
Aug.  26, 1953..Regulation AFR 200-2 issued to Air Force personnel for 
reporting UFOs. (see 8/12/54) PROCEDURES

1953...........Project xxxxxx (name CENSURED) established by President 
Eisenhower and renamed Project AQUARIUS (1960, 1968) 
  
Winter,  1953...Salisbury Plain,  England: Flight Lt.  C.G.  Townsend- 
Withers  was flying an experimental Canberra aircraft at  55,000   ft. 
when  he picked up on the new experimental radar an UFO following  his 
plane.   The  science officer went up to the turret for a  visual  and 
spotted a circular craft five miles behind them. They tried to outpace 
the UFO by accelerating to 225  knots but it kept up with their plane. 
Townsend-Withers initiated a wide sweeping turn and lost radar contact 
with  the  UFO but came into direct visual on a collision course  with 
the  UFO.  Then the UFO flipped vertically in the air and climbed from 
50 to 70  thousand feet,  as quickly as you could say it. Description: 
Round,  thin disc with two tail fins at the rear,  appearing  metallic 
and enormous.  Leaving no vapor trail,  wake or detectable sound,   it 
vanished within a couple of seconds up into the blue sky. 
  
Dec. 8, 1953...CIA Evaluation of the UFO situation:  It was pleased to 
note that the number of sightings had decreased dramatically,  due, it 
believed,  to the success of its' implemented policies. Some sightings 
still  would have "possible scientific intelligence value".   The  CIA 
concluded  that the panel's (name?)  recommendations might  have  been 
interpreted by saucer believers as "debunking". 
  
Feb.   6,  1954...CONFIDENTIAL Air Force Staff MESSAGE:  (DTG 061800Z)

color. A third UFO appeared ahead of him on a collision course. It had 
a bun-shaped top,  a  flange like two saucers in the  center and a bun 
shaped dome underneath and was silvery in color.  It flew close enough 
to his jet to overlap his windshield. 
  
Feb.  23, 1955..Broadlands  Archives Record:  Sworn  statement by Lord 
Mountbatten and Frederick Briggs  describing a Saucer that  landed  on 
Lord Mountbattens property.  It was shaped like a child's humming top, 
between 10 to  30  ft.  diameter.  Looked  like kitchen saucepan.  Had 
cylindrical column about the size of a man descending from the center. 
Had portholes all around the middle,  like a steamer boat. I noticed a 
man standing on the end of the central column.  He  was  dressed  in a 
dark suit of overalls, and wearing a close fitting  hat or helmet.  As 
the Saucer  powered up  a  bright  blue  light  came  from one  of the 
portholes (like a mercury-vapor lamp).  A force  knocked me over.  The 
Flying  Saucer proceeded to rise and  retract the central column. (see 
08/23/52)[See movie "Earth vs. the F.S."] 
  
Mar. 7, 1955... K.A. (initials) from Rescue Team 4, Roswell AFB,  N.M. 
given  a general discharge from the USAF because he told his  Sergeant 
aboutthe Top Secret recovery of a UFO on April 12, 1954. (see 4/12/54) 
  
July 12,  1955..Unusual UFOB report from Pepperrel AFB,  Newfoundland. 
UFO  sighted  by  a tanker aircraft (KC 97)  pilot and  ground  radar. 
"Unusual" in that the pilot of the Archie 29  called direction changes 
of the UFO to ground radar which correlated exactly with those painted 
by the radar scope.  This observation went on for 49 minutes.  Signed: 
Todos M. Odarenko. 
  
Oct.  9,1955....General Douglas McArthur states,  "The nations of  the 
world  will have to unite--for the next war will be an  interplanetary 
war. The nations of the Earth must someday make a common front against 
attack by people from other planets." (see 8/54) 
  
Late 1956......Castle AFB, California: A.A. and J.R.  (names withheld) 
were flying F-86's near Modesto, CA, on alert duty due to civilian UFO 
reports in a nearby town. Base instructed them to return because their 
was  an UFO near the control tower.  With afterburners on they  closed 
rapidly on a luminous elliptical UFO that moved above and below  cloud 
cover at 10  to 12  thousand feet as if to elude them.  The two pilots 
played  cat-and-mouse  with  the UFO until they ran low  of  fuel  and 
returned to base. Local citizens that witnessed these events were told 
by the Air Force that the pilots had been chasing ducks or geese. 
  
Oct. 2, 1956...Trenton, NJ: Harry Sturdevant, a night watchman of some 
20 years, said, "a red light in the sky" shot at him.  This UFO had no 
wings,   fins or propulsion sounds,  except for the sound of "escaping 
steam". It was about 60 to 100 ft. in diam. and cigar shaped.  The UFO 
gave him "the greatest shock of my life". There was a nauseating smell 
like  sulfur and brimstone.  He lost the sense of taste and smell  and 
couldn't swallow properly. 
  
(10/2/56,  cont'd)  He collapsed on the ground and was unable to  move 
for half an hour, after which he managed to drive to his home and call 
for aid. Six weeks later,  a New Jersey workmen's compensation referee 
decided  that Sturdevant should be paid for medical expenses  incurred 
for the injury done by the UFO. 
  
Aug.  31, 1957..In a letter about UFOs to a constituent, Senator Barry 
Goldwater said, "I, frankly, feel there is a great deal to this." 
  
Oct.   4,  1957..."Sputnik I"  was launched and obtained orbit by  the 
Russians. (see 11/12/57) 
  
Nov.   2,  1957...Levelland,  TX:  Multiple landings on roadways,  E-M 
(electro-magnetic)   effects,  etc.  Sheriff Weir Clem was sent out to 
search the roads as a result of earlier UFO reports and saw a  reddish 
oval  crossing the road and illuminating the pavement.  Ronald  Martin 
saw  an  UFO land in front of his truck and turn from red  to  bluish- 
green  at  which time the truck's electrical system failed.   It  then 
turned reddish again and took off.  Within the next few hours an  Army 
Jeep  Patrol at White Sands,  N.M.,  reported an egg-shaped  UFO  that 
descended  to about 50  yards above a bunker used during the first  A- 
bomb explosion. This wave of sightings continued for 2-3 weeks.  After 
retirement in 1975, Sheriff W. Clem gave a more graphic description of 
the  UFO he saw:  "The object was shaped like a huge football and  had 
bright  white  lights.   No living human could  believe  how  fast  it 
travelled.  The thing was as bright as day. It lit up the whole area." 
In an interview in 1977,  Sheriff Clem said,  "After the publicity  of 
UFOs  over the next few days,  the number of witnesses to them rose to 
about a hundred people."(see 11/5/57) 
  
Nov.   5,   1957...A  single  investigator  from  Project  Blue   Book 
headquarters  arrived  at  Levelland,  TX,  and interviewed  only  two 
persons who had stalled cars and reported that all the UFO activity in 
Texas  between Nov.  2-4  was the result of a "rather heavy electrical 
storm...All   witnesses  saw  the  same  streak  of  lightning...which 
stimulated  the  populace  into  a  high  level  of  excitement....and 
resulted in an inflation of stories by some witnesses." (see 11/2/57) 
  
Nov.  12,  1957..FBI STATUS REPORT:  "Ever since the Russians  release 
'Sputnik'   there has been a great increase in the  number  of  flying 
saucers  and other UFOs reportedly seen by people all over  the  U.S." 
[Angle:  Artificial satellite spurs Alien interest in mankind.   Other

10/4/57; 8/15/60) 
  
May,   1958......Malstrom AFB,  Montana:  Just after midnight  an  UFO 
approached the alert hanger where one guard was standing on duty.   At 
about 1000 ft. altitude. 
  
(May,   1958,  cont'd)  The UFO appeared as a round  metallic  looking 
object (called a "Flying Saucer" by the guard). The base radar and FAA 
radar  picked up the UFO as it was apparently hovering over the  alert 
hanger  and  the atomic bomb storage nearby.  The  saucer  then  moved 
slowly down the length of runway and then proceeded across town to the 
Muni  Airport  at  Great Falls and hovered  over  the  National  Guard 
parking ramp for the F-89's and then flew off. 
  
Dec. 20, 1958..Dunellen, NJ: Patrolmen LeRoy A. Arboreen and B. Talada 
while  on  patrol  suddenly spotted a glowing red  object  which  came 
directly  toward  them at a phenomenal rate of speed  from  the  West, 
Increasing  rapidly  in size,  then coming to an abrupt stop,  it  was 
ellipsoid  in shape and solid bright red while giving off a  pulsating 
glow. After hovering a few seconds it went straight up like a shot and 
faded beyond the stars. Visibility:  unlimited. Apr. 1, 1959...Orting, 
WA:  An Air Force C-118  transport plane with four passengers suddenly 
radioed in "MAYDAY,  we've been hit!" Col.  R.E.  Booth told reporters 
that  a mid-air collision had taken place at 8:19  p.m.  APRG  (Aerial 
Phenomena Research Group) investigators determined that from 7:00 p.m. 
onthrough  the early evening several mysterious aerial explosions  had 
shaken the Seattle,  WA,  area.  Several residents had reported seeing 
mysterious  UFOs  from 20  miles north of the crash scene to  about  8 
miles  southeast of it.  These sightings were confirmed by the  Orting 
Chief  of  Police and by Public Information Officer  at  McChord  AFB. 
Several persons told APRG investigator,  R. Gribble, that as the C-118 
passed  over their area it was followed by 2 parachute-shaped  objects 
and that the C-118  was missing its' tail assembly. Mr. and Mrs.  Bill 
Jones reported 3 or 4 parachute-shaped UFOs following the C-118  as it 
passed over their home.  Chief of Police, Fred Emard, told R.  Gribble 
that he would be glad to furnish information on the UFOs to APRG,  but 
changed  his  mind the next day after an interview with an  Air  Force 
Colonel.  "The Chief and other officials of Orting had been silenced," 
Gribble reported. (see 9/29/59; 5/61) 
  
Sept.29,1959...Maj.  R.O.  Braswell, while flying an C-47 at 6500  ft. 
alt., spotted an UFO. "It was colored like a large red fire and looked 
like an atomic cloud", he stated. At about 5 degrees above my plane it 
appeared massive and was at about 13000  ft. alt.  The UFO appeared to 
be about 1000 ft. thick (top to bottom). Billie Guyton of Centerville, 
TX,   also  observed the UFO and said that he observed a  smaller  UFO 
emerge from it. Another ground observer, Jackie J. Cox, schoolteacher, 
saw  a "bright light in the sky that spread to cover the entire  sky." 
W.S.  Webb of Buffalo, N.Y.,  glanced out his bedroom window and saw a 
ball  of fire shooting through the sky,  after which he heard a noise, 
as  if  something  was  falling from the sky.  The  next  day  Braniff 
Airways'  Flight 542, carrying 28  passengers and 6 crew members,  was 
found  shredded in a thousand pieces.  Subsequent inquiry  found  that 
there had been no fire or explosion aboard the jet before or after the 
crash  and that scorch marks found on the exterior windows,   fuselage 
and  parted  tail  section  showed signs of  having  been  exposed  to 
tremendous  exterior  heat.  Also the force causing the plane to  come 
down did not come from within the plane. Radar Operator, E.H. Tindale, 
later told investigators that he had plotted an UFO twice on the night 
Flight 542  crashed.  Both plots of the UFO were in the area where the 
wreckage of the airliner was found.  The UFO was stationary both times 
it was tracked. (see 4/1/59; 5/61) 
  
1959...........Project   SIGMA  meets  with  success  and  establishes 
contact with Aliens. (see 4/15/64) 

Early  1960's...Frank  Scully  dies.  (Author  of  "Behind  the  Flying 
Saucers".) 
  
Aug.   13,  1960..Red Bluff,  CA:  CHP Officers Charles A.  Carson  and 
Stanley Scott were on patrol when they sighted what they thought was an 
airliner about to crash. When the UFO had descended to about 100 or 200 
feet  altitude  it suddenly reversed direction and climbed to 500   ft. 
Description: round or oblong surrounded by a glow (color not mentioned) 
and having definite red lights at each end. They continued to watch the 
UFO  as  it  performed "unbelievable"  aerial feats.  The  local  RADAR 
operator  confirmed  the UFO at this time but denied it the  next  day. 
Other  Tehema County Sheriffs'  officers also saw this UFO and  another 
similar one that same night. (NICAP, 1964) 
  
May,  1961......In the May issue of "Fate" magazine,  Master Sgt.  O.D. 
Hill  admits that we are still loosing Air Force planes to  UFOs.   The 
first case was an F-86  jet fighter that was sent aloft to  investigate 
an  UFO  that had been plotted on the Radar scope of an Air Base  (name 
and  dates  classified).   The  Radar Operator spied  the  UFO  heading 
straight for the craft.  The operator radioed for the F-86  to climb at 
once, but it was too late.  The two blips merged as one and the UFO was 
tracked moving away.  Classified as "mysterious"  not a single shred of 
the F-86  was ever found. (ref. Kinross AFB where an F-89  with crew of 
two merged with an UFO and disappeared.-Donald Keyhoe) 
  
Second Case:  A  radar operator was tracking a transport plane carrying 
26  persons aboard when, suddenly,  another blip appeared on the screen 
closing  at 2500  mph on the transport.  Before the operator could warn 
the  transport  the two blips emerged as one.  The remaining blip  sped 
straight  up  at tremendous speed.  A  surface search in  the  vicinity 
revealed no oil slicks on the water, although a Generals' briefcase was 
found floating around. (see 4/1/59;9/29/59) 
  
1961-1963......Near Nellis AFB, NE: "Mat", a radio maintenance engineer 
at  Nevada's  AEC between 1961-1963,  provided evidence  to  the  MUFON 
Journal  that  Project REDLIGHT was secretly being conducted at  nearby 
"Area 51",  a  50-mile-square quadrant of land east of Nellis AFB. This 
Project "involved flight-testing of an UFO which had been shipped there 
from Edwards AFB."  The craft flew silently, was about 20 to 30 ft.  in 
diam., and had no wings or tail. 
  
Apr.   ,1962.....Flight  Commander P.J.  (initials),  attached  to  TAC 
Fighter Wing was deployed at Wright-Patterson AFB and mistakenly  broke 
into an air hanger where he  thought the gym was located. Upon entering 
the hanger he was approached by an air police sentry with a sub-machine 
gun.  Behind the sentry was a saucer approx. 12-15 ft. diam.  suspended 
off the  ground  by  two  engine test stands. There were no markings or 
insignia on the saucer. It had no rivet markings. The saucer was roped- 
off and 8 guards stood at parade rest around it.  P.J.  and his  friend 
were encouraged to leave the hanger.  P.J. returned to MyrtleBeach AFB, 
S.C. 
  
July   17,   1963..A  passenger  of  a  Convair-880   related  to   UFO 
investigator,   James Moseley,  that the 4 engined jet airliner she had 
been flying in was pursued by an UFO.  The jet , traveling at 600  mph, 
made  a  sharp  turn to avoid the UFO,  now rapidly closing in  on  the 
plane.   Just as they were about to collide,  the UFO swerved  away  at 
fantastic speed and  disappeared  in  the night sky. When the (unnamed) 
woman  confronted the pilot about the incident,  he said,  "I  wouldn't 
dare  risk telling the airline of the incident.  If I could tell you of 
some of the experiences my buddies have had, you'd never fly again!" 
  
Apr.   15,   1964..USAF  Intelligence officer meets with  2  Aliens  at 
prearranged  location  in  the desert of  New  Mexico.   Project  SIGMA 
operates at AFB, New Mexico. (see 1959) 
  
Oct.,  1964.....Air Force and Army radar stations tracked an UFO as  it 
hovered  over  and flew along the demilitarized zone between North  and 
South Korea. The UFO was visible for over an hour.

Dec. 19, 1964..MEMO to Chief, Contact Division: NICAP case #(censured): 
Subject:   UFOs over Patuxent Navel Air Station between 1500  and  1530 
hours. Two UFOs approached Air Base at 3800 mph. Another UFO approached 
at 6000  mph.  Radar operator, Chief Pinkerton had visual on Radar.  US 
Coast Guard had "visual"  on the UFOs. OFFICIAL statement to press: the 
(single) blip was caused by faulty radar equipment! (see 1/25/65)

1965...........While  visiting the Air Force Museum in Fairborn,  Ohio, 
R.M.   (initials),  a  government employee of 23  yrs.,  went through a 
double- door marked "Off Limits" and suddenly came face to face with an 
Alien in a self contained space suite.  Description: About 4.5 ft. tall 
with a translucent dome over its' large head;  wasn't human; large eyes 
under  a heavy brow;  no noticeable nose;  a  slit for a mouth;  bluish 
skin.  When the creature walked it didn't bend its' knees.  R.M.  later 
found  out  from a retired Air Force Colonel from Wight-Patterson  AFB, 
that 2 live Aliens were held in captivity in an artificial environment. 
The  Colonel also said that a 2-man sized craft crashed near Whitewater 
Lake,   Indiana,   as  a result of an  electrical  disturbance  in  the 
atmosphere.   [The Alien would have to lock his knees in a high-gravity 
environment to avoid falling down.] 
  
Feb.  11,  1965..Personal Interview report by Capt.  D.M.   (initials): 
Aerial  encounter of three UFOs with radar and visual  sightings.   Air 
Force flight F-169  enroute from Anchorage,  AL, to Japan.  Capt.  R.W. 
(initials)  and Capt. W. (initial) observed 3 UFOs on radar 5 miles off 
the  wing.   The UFOs paced the Flying Tiger freighter aircraft for  30 
minutes then climbed away at a steep angle at about 1200  knots  ground 
speed. Estimated size (thumb and finger method) approx. 200 to 1000 ft. 
diam.,  glowing red and oval shaped. The pilot remarked,  "we often see 
UFOs on the Alaskan run!" 
  
May  28,   1965...Police  statement  (interview);   Bougainville  Reef, 
Australia:  An Ansett-A.N.A.  DC-6B airliner (VH-INH)  en route to Port 
Moresby,  New Guinea, was buzzed by a UFO at about 3:25 a.m.  The pilot 
radioed  the  Townsville  Ground Control Tower and talked  to  Mr.   O. 
(initial). Description: slightly spherical and oblate, flattened on top 
and bottom;  appeared to have exhaust gasses coming from it.  Photos of 
the UFO were taken by the pilot  but were later confiscated at Canberra 
as was the taped conversation to Mr. O., the Tower operator. Mr. O. was 
threatened with dismissal if he talked about the incident. 
  
July 3,  1965...Newspaper reports, ANTARCTICA:  Argentine,  British and 
Chilean  military and scientific personnel observed an UFO moving at  a 
frightening speed doing incredible maneuvers.  It was something  solid, 
glowing  blue-green  and causing E/M interference with  our  equipment. 
Lenticular  shaped "flying saucer".  Tracked by theodolite,  binoculars 
and magnetograph tapes.  Also,  10  color photographs were taken of the 
UFO. 
  
Sept.  3, 1965..Project Blue Book File #(?): Damon/Angleton, TX. Deputy 
Sheriffs Billy E.  McCoy and Robert W.  Goode were investigating an UFO 
in  the back-woods roads when the purplish UFO shot  instantly  towards 
them to within 150  feet and hovered at 100  feet off the ground.   The 
bright  glow  illuminated the interior of the car and  the  surrounding 
fields (11:30  p.m.).  "Every blade of grass stood out clearly"  in the 
field. Officer Goode, who was driving with his arm out the window, felt 
heat  on  his  arm and later reported that a cut that was  on  his  arm 
healed more rapidly than normal [U/V effects]. 
  
Sept.16,1965...NICAP Report #(?): Pretoria, S. Africa:  Constables John 
Lockem and Koos de Klerk while on patrol (after midnight)  suddenly had 
a  domed,  disc shaped object come into their van headlights.   It  was 
sitting on the road.  The UFO was copper colored and about 30  ft.   in 
diam.   Immediately the UFO lifted off,  emitting tongues of flame from 
two  tubes  or channels on the underside.  The flames  deflected  about 
three  feet off the macadam road surface and were still  visible  after 
loosing sight of the craft. Road damage: part of the road was caved-in, 
and in a 6 foot area the gravel was separated from the tar.  Samples of 
the  road  surface  were taken for analysis,  which  report  was  never 
released.  Lt. Col. J.B.  Brits,  District Commandant of Pretoria North 
said the incident was "highly SECRET ... and inquiry is being conducted 
in TOP circles." 
  
Nov., 1965.....Fort Riley, KA: "AK" (Aaron Kaback) was on guard duty at 
2  a.m.  when the duty officer drove up and ordered him to hop into the 
jeep.  He and 3 other officers were driven out to a remote area where a 
large  oval objectwas resting.  An army chopper was hovering above  the 
object and shining a bright light on it.  The object was approx.  35-48 
ft.  in diam., had a fin on the end and an exhaust port or some kind of 
hole below the fin.  It had rows of squares around the rim and remained 
completely dead for the 2 1/2  hours they guarded it.  (Kaback seems to 
be confused as to the actual date this incident occurred. see 12/10/64) 
  
Mar.  20,  1966..Dexter, MI.: Frank Mannor, age 47,  and Ronald Mannor, 
age  19,   went  out  at night through  swampy,   hummocky  terrain  to 
investigate flashing lights in the swamp. They saw a domed,  elliptical 
object with a quilted surface hovering about 8 ft.  off the ground in a 
patch  of apparent mist.  The object glowed "blood red"  and  the  body 
lights disappeared. They lost sight of the UFO and didn't see it again. 
(see 3/21/66;4/1/66) 
  
Mar.  20, 1966..La Porte, IN: Patrolman Michael Spevak was on duty when 
2   youths  pulled over and pointed out an UFO that they said had  been 
following  them from Michigan City to La Porte.  According to the young 
men,   the  object  frequently burst into such a bright glare  that  it 
blinded them, forcing them off the highway.  It had been following them 
at  an altitude of about 60  ft.  Both the young men and the  patrolman 
noticed  a cross-shaped appendage protruding from the lower portion  of 
the UFO. 
  
Mar.   21,  1966..Law enforcement officer F.B.  (initials)  at  Dexter, 
Michigan,  and officer "C" (initial)  on patrol sighted a landed saucer 
in a swamp.  Description:  Large craft, like a pot;  no windows;  had a 
dull  glow  and  steam was coming up from the water.   Sounded  like  a 
turbine,   a   low  whine  or hum.  He  notified  Selfridge  AFB  which 
immediately  sent out MP's,  well armed.  All law officers were ordered 
back and their film was confiscated. Later his report and other reports 
disappeared  from  police headquarters.  Then,  everyone in the  force, 
including  he and "C",  were transferred to other parts of the  county. 
The  UFO wasn't disabled.  F.B.  saw it take-off and climb straight up. 
(see 3/1/67) 
  
Apr.   1,   1966...From  LIFE  magazine:  In  a  hastily  called  press 
conference,   the  USAF spokesman J.  Allen Hynek  suggested  that  the 
Dextor,  MI,  UFO and others seen in the swamps near Hillsdale may have 
been  marsh  (or  swamp)   gas that had  spontaneously  ignited.   (see 
3/20/66;3/21/66) 
  
Apr. 5, 1966...Congressman,  Gerald Ford announces to Congress the need 
to extensively examine UFOs. 
  
Apr.  17,1966...Ravenna,  OH,  to Conway,  Penn.:  Deputy Sheriffs Dale 
Spaur  and  Wilbur Neff of Portage County were on patrol  when  an  UFO 
stopped above them, illuminating them and the surroundings (it was just 
about dawn). As the UFO moved away from them at about 300-500 ft. above 
the road, it would alternately start and stop ahead of them playing cat 
and mouse.  At E.  Palestine,  OH,  officer Wayne  Huston joined in the 
pursuit.  At speeds of 100 mph in unfamiliar territory,  they were soon 
low  on  gas and had to give up the game with the UFO.   Through  local 
police  dispatch  the  officers alerted the Air Force,   who  sent  out 
fighter  planes  to investigate the UFO.  As the officers  saw  the  AF 
planes  approaching  the UFO shot straight up and out of  sight.   (see 
6/24/66) 
  
Summer,   1966...Results of an Iowa Poll,  Iowa:  45%   Iowans  queried 
believe UFOs to be REAL objects.  Of the 45%,  21%  were of the opinion 
that the UFOs were of extraterrestrial origin. 
  
June,  1966.....Nha Trang,  Vietnam:  At this active Army Base at about 
9:45  p.m.,  what was thought to be a flare lit up the north sky.   The 
bright  UFO  approached  the  base alternately moving at  low  to  high 
speeds.   Upon descending toward the soldiers it hovered at an altitude 
of 300-500  ft.  All of a sudden the 6 generators failed along with the 
engines  of  the idling Skyraiders,  (TESLA energy  discharge  effects) 
bulldozers and trucks. The entire valley and surrounding mountains were 
illuminated  by the hovering UFO for about 4 min.  after which it  went 
straight up and disappeared in about 3 sec.  After the incident a plane 
load of officials from Washington arrived to investigate. (see 3/4/69) 
  
June 24, 1966..Richmond, VA: Officer William L. Stevens, Jr.,  observed 
a dirigible-shaped UFO at 3:30  in the morning near the fairgrounds. It 
was about100  ft. long and 30 ft.  thick with greenish-yellow lights on 
its perimeter.  Stevens attempted to chase the UFO but it maintained an 
even  distance from him even though he sped up and slowed  down.   "The 
object seemed to be playing CAT & MOUSE with me,"  he later said. After 
10-15 min. the UFO accelerated and sped away. (see 4/17/66) 
  
Mar.  1, 1967...Lt. Gen. Hewitt T. Wheless, USAF,  sends notice to  all 
branches of the military warning of persons imitating military officers 
and  harassing  private citizens and  confiscating  UFO  photos.   (see

mentioning an attempt by the British Government in 1967  to collaborate 
with the Soviets in UFO research. (see 2/22/68) 
  
Feb. 22, 1968..UNCLASSIFIED AIRGRAM, U.S. Dept.  of the State regarding 
UFOs in the Soviet Union:  Feb. 1968, Soviet Life published three pages 
pertinent to UFOs,  by Felix Zigel.  He also published a UFO article in 
1966. Until recently no study of UFOs had been made in the Soviet Union 
(see 1/19/68) 
  
1968...........Project xxxxxxxx (name CENSURED) established to evaluate 
all    UFO   information   pertinent   to   space   technology.    (see 
1953,12/69,1976) 
  
Mar.   4,  1969...Near Atlanta,  Missouri:  The City Marshall and  Mail 
Carrier in Elmer,  Missouri,  William R.  Overstreet observed an UFO at 
early dawn over the road ahead of him.  It was about 100  ft.  in diam. 
apparently rotating clockwise and emitting a strong white beam of light 
down  to  the road which seemed to magnify the size of the road it  was 
shining on.  He felt intense heat from the direction of the UFO and his 
CB  radio was dead.  As he neared the light beam from the UFO his truck 
motor and radio quit.  As the beammoved away from his truck he was able 
to start the engine again.(TESLA energy discharge effects)  He followed 
the UFO for about 4 mi.  staying away from the beam.  The UFO  followed 
the  contour of the land it was flying over.  After 7-8  min.  the  UFO 
veered  away and went out of sight.  "I had never believed in them  too 
much until I saw this," he said. "Now I know that there is something to 
these UFOs!" (see 8/13/75,6/66) 
  
1969?..........A  retired  Colonel from Wright-Patterson AFB  with  Top 
Secret  clearance  states that a 2-man saucer crashed  near  Whitewater 
Lake,   Indiana  as  a  result of  an  electrical  disturbance  in  the 
atmosphere.

flying saucer. 
  
Oct.  2,  1972...A letter from the Dept.  of National Defence,  Canada, 
Brig.   Gen.   L.A.  Bourgeois states:  All UFOs reported to  CFHQ  are 
investigated  by  the Director of Operations.  It isn't a  practice  to 
allow  the  public to study these files.  Since the beginning  of  1968 
these UFO reports have been passed along to the NRC.  Evidence suggests 
that  UFOs  present no threat to the Technology world.  They exhibit  a 
unique scientifically advanced technology. (see 9/19/26) 
  
Sept.   ,1973....At Great Lakes Naval Base,  Instructor R.K.,   Gunnery 
School Grade E-4,  while delivering a sealed envelope to the Commandant 
in the quonset hut,  was surprised to see a saucer 30 ft. diam.  and 10 
ft.  ht.  resting on a wooden platform.  Description:  Silvery blue and 
shimmering,  it tapered like a teardrop with a flange running along its 
topside  from  one end to the other and there were  no  windows.   R.K. 
believed  this saucer to be the one shot down on its third pass over  a 
Navy vessel by a missile.  The saucer crashed in 350 ft.  water between 
Hawaii and the mainland. It was retrieved by a Glomar Explorer, shipped 
to Hawaii then stateside to Chicago. 
  
Oct.  18,  1973..Capt. Lawrence Coyne,  while flying an Army helicopter 
with three other crewmen were 45  minutes out over Mansfield when Staff 
Sgt.   Robert  Yanacsek spotted a red glowing UFO headed  toward  their 
helicopter at an estimated 600  mph. It stopped abruptly 500 ft.  above 
them.  It had a big,  gray,  metallic looking hull about 60  ft.  long, 
shaped  like an airfoil or streamlined cigar with a red light in  front 
and  a  green  light in the rear,  the lead edge  glowed  red  a  short 
distance  from the nose.  There was a center dome.  The  'copter  radio 
wouldn't  function  and the copter was set for a 20   degree  dive  but 
gained altitude from 1700  ft. to 3500 ft. with no power applied. After 
a slight "bounce" the UFO took off to the N.E. 
  
Oct.  25,  1973..Director of FBI, Clarence M. Kelley, states:  UFOs are 
not  and  never  has been a matter that  is  within  the  investigative 
jurisdiction of the FBI. 
  
Jan.   8,  1975...CONFIDENTIAL Spanish Report,  Spanish Air Force:  UFO 
spotted by military personnel at Las Bardenas Reales near Zaragoza  Air 
Base. 
  
Mar.   28,  1975..Letter from Senator Barry Goldwater stating:  Ten  or 
twelve  years  ago  I tried to get access to the  building  at  Wright- 
Patterson  (HANGER-18)   where  UFO  artifacts were stored  and  I  was 
understandably denied access.  It is still classified above TOP SECRET. 
I've  heard  they plan to release some of the information in  the  near 
future and hope not to have to wait too much longer. 
  
Aug.  13,  1975..Near Haderslev,  Denmark:  Police Officer Evald Hansen 
Maarup was driving home at 10:50 p.m.  when all of a sudden his car was 
engulfed by a bright blue light while at the same time his car lost all 
ower. The temperature in his car rose to that of a warm summer day and 
his radio was dead so he couldn't call for help.  The bright beam  from 
the  UFO was conical in shape with a bottom diam.  of 4-5  meters and a 
top  diam.   at the UFO of 10  meters.  Two dome-like protrusions  were 
visible  on  the  underside of the UFO that was hovering  at  about  20 
meters altitude.  He activated a special camera on the patrol car which 
automatically  took  3  pictures of the UFO.  As the UFO sped  away  he 
regained  power to his car.  The developed film which was later  turned 
over  to  the Danish AF showed the light source of the UFO on  it.   No 
report or analysis has been available from the AF to date. (see 3/4/69) 
  
Aug. 13, 1975..Alamogordo, NM: Staff Sgt. Charles L. Moody, USAF, drove 
out to the outskirts of town late one night to watch for meteors.  As a 
disc-shaped UFO descended toward him,  he tried to start his car to get 
away but it wouldn't start.  He heard a high pitched whining sound from 
the  UFO and saw shadowy figures in it and felt numbness,  after  which 
the  UFO departed.  After driving home he found he couldn't account for 
1.5  hours. The next day his back was enflame and he discovered a small 
puncture wound over his spine and a few days later he developed a  body 
rash.  As months passed he regained memory of the missing 1.5 hours. He 
remembered that he had been in the UFO and in telepathic  communication 
with small 4'8"  humanoids.  They had whitish gray skin,  large  heads, 
large eyes,  small slit-like mouths and mask-like features. He had been 
in a drug-like state  on  a table and they  had poked a rod like device 
into  his back.  After this they escorted him about the ship and  later 
dropped him off at his car. (see 3/4/69) 
  
Oct. 28, 1975..CONFIDENTIAL CINC/NORAD Report: UFOs, suspicious objects 
seen by ground personnel. Sounded like jet aircraft. Intermittent radar 
contact  made  with  object.  Jets scrambled to intercept  but  objects 
lights  went out interceptors passed and then came on again.  Then  the 
object  increased in speed and raised to a high altitude and could  not 
be discerned from the stars.  Description:  Through binoculars,  looked 
like 100 ft. sphere and appeared to have craters around the outside. To 
date, AF and SAC helicopters have failed to provide a positive I.D.  of 
the UFO. (see 11/11/75,7/52) 
  
Oct.  29,  1975..NMCC Joint Staff Memo:  Subject:  AFB penetration.  At 
290200  EST,  AFOC informed NMCC that an unidentified helicopter (UFO), 
possibly two,  had been sighted flying low over Loring AFB,  Maine,  in 
proximity to a weapons storage area. Army Nat. Guard helos called in to 
assist in locating UFO. NORAD informed of the incident by SAC. Received 
authority to proceed into Canadian airspace,  if necessary,  to  locate 
UFO. A similar incident was reported the evening before. 
  
Nov. 11, 1975..CONFIDENTIAL CINC/NORAD Report. (see 10/28/75) 
  
Jan.  21,  1976..MEMO from NMCC by Rear Adm. J. B.  Morin stating:  Two 
UFOs reported near the flight line at Cannon AFB, N.M.  Security Police 
report the UFOs to be 25  yards (75  ft.)  in diameter,  gold/silver in 
color with blue light on top,  hole in the middle and red light on  the 
bottom. 
  
Apr.  9, 1976...CONFIDENTIAL CIA Message: Source (name Censored)  seeks 
guidance  from CIA UFO experts as to material in his report that should 
remain classified. 
  
  
July 30,  1976..NMCC Joint Staff Memo:  Subject:  Reports of UFOs.   At 
approx. 0345, EDT, the ANMCC received several reports of UFOs near Fort 
Ritchie.  At 0130, civilians reported an UFO to the NAB.  At 0255,  two 
separate  patrols sighted three UFOs;  oblong with a reddish tint.   At 
0300,   the Desk Sgt.  (name with held)  sighted an UFO over  the  ammo 
storage area at 100-200  yds.  altitude.  At 0345,  an Army Police Sgt. 
sighted an UFO in the vicinity of sight R.  ANMCC was requested to have 
each individual write a statement on the sightings. One person said the 
UFO was the size of a 2.5 ton truck. 
  
Sep. 19, 1976..Tehran, Iran: Civilians reported an UFO to the AFB.  The 
Iranian  AF scrambled an American F-4  for intercept.  As the F-4   was 
vectored   towards   the  brilliant  UFO,    all   communications   and 
instrumentation were suddenly lost. As the pilot broke off pursuit, all 
aircraft functions returned to normal. A second F-4  that was scrambled 
began  closing in on the UFO at greater than Mach 1 and was closing  on 
the UFO at 150  nautical mph., but the UFO accelerated and stayed ahead 
of the F-4  (confirmed by  Radar).   Multi-colored flashing lights were 
visible  on the UFO.  The moment the F-4  pilot tried to lock an  AIM-9 
missile at the UFO he lost all weapons panel and communication control. 
The UFO launched two smaller UFOs,  one of which began to follow the F- 
4. After evasive action by the F-4, the smaller UFO returned and united 
with the larger UFO. The other smaller UFO seemed to have landed on the 
ground  so  the  pilot  flew down to investigate it.   The  landed  UFO 
appeared to be 12  feet in diameter?  As the pilot descended the  light 
from  the landed UFO went out and he lost sight of it.  The DIA  termed 
this sighting as "an outstanding report.  This case is a classic  which 
meets all the criteria necessary for a study of a UFO phenomenon." And, 
"an  inordinate  amount of manuverablilty was displayed by  the  UFOs." 
(see 10/2/72,9/20/76) 
  
Sep.  20, 1976..DIA MESSAGE: UFO sighted over Tehran, Iran.  "Initiate" 
IPSP PT-1440.  The Iranian Air Force scrambled an F-4  to intercept the 
UFO. Due to its brilliance the UFO was visible 70 miles away.  When the 
F-4  approached within 25  mi. of UFO the F-4  lost ALL instrumentation 
and  communications (UHF and intercom).  As the first F-4  banked  away 
from the UFO he regained instr. and comm. A second F-4  was dispatched, 
2  man,  with  radar.The radar return was of a craft the  size of a 707 
Tanker.  As the F-4  closed within 25 NMi.  of UFO,  the UFO launched a 
bright white object about one third the apparent size of the moon.  The 
pilot attempted to fire an AIM-9  missile at the second UFO but at that 
moment he lost all instruments and communication.As he banked away from 
the primary object  the secondary object went to the inside of his turn 
then returned and rejoined with the primary object.  Afterwards the F-4 
regained control of instr. and communications. (see 9/19/76)

AFB three persons report seeing UFO over a Restricted Test Range. 
  
On Aug. 9th a Sandia Security Guard drove down the Coyote Canyon access 
road to check out an alarmed building and observed a landed UFO next to 
an  alarmed  building.  The UFO was a round disk shaped object.  As  he 
approached  the object on foot equipped with a shotgun the object  took 
off  in a vertical direction at a high rate of speed.  His radio wasn't 
working  right at the time so he couldn't reach dispatch.  The building 
contained HQ CR 44 material. [Nature of material not known.]

diameter with trilateral insignia on object. USAF still has an interest 
in all UFO sightings over installations and test ranges.  Several other 
Government  agencies,   lead by NASA,  actively investigate  legitimate 
sightings  through COVERT COVER.  One agency that deceives  the  public 
whict such covert cover is the UFO reporting center at U.S.  Coast  and 
Geodetic Survey, Rockville, MD. 20852. [The results of PROJECT AQUARIUS 
is  still  classified TOP SECRET with access limited to  "MJ-12".]  The

Dec.   29,   1980..A low flying UFO was escorted by a large  number  of 
helicopters  (23)   including some Chinooks and possibly  Hueys,   near 
Dayton,  Texas.  It was probably escorted to the TOP SECRET underground 
installation within Fort Hood, Texas.  The SECRET air force base is NOT 
listed in the Air Force Officer's Guide or the Air Force Almanac [it is 
an Army AFB]. The name of the Secret base is Gray AAF, Texas. 
  
(12/29/80,  cont'd)  The special group piloting the helicopters  Escort 
for  UFO are known as the "BLUEBOYS".  The Texas Department  of  Public 
Safety works closely with Gray AAF on UFO cases. (see 6/6/88)

Nov.   3,   1981...Civil Action,  Case No.  80-1562,  goes against  the 
plaintiff and for the defendant, the NSA.  The NSA retains the right to 
withhold 156  TOP SECRET records containing communications intelligence 
(COMINT)   reports  which were produced between 1958  and  1979.   Only 
military personnel with a Top Secret Clearance were allowed to view the 
documents for the court hearing.  NOT even the Judge was allowed to see 
them, even though he ruled against the plaintiff (CAUS). (see 6/24/83) 
  
Nov.  27, 1982..Palatine, IL.: Police Commander Michael McDonald was on 
patrol at 5:00 a.m. when the area around his car was lighted,  as if by 
a phosphorousflare.  Looking up he saw a large white UFO with tinges of 
red  at  an altitude of 900-1000  ft.  Two other officers,  alerted  by 
radio,  also observed the UFO.  The other two cars gave pursuit to  the 
UFO at speeds of between 60-65 mph but the UFO outdistanced them. A few 
minutes later another UFO was noted by the commander and then the other 
two officers.  It was a diffuse "domed disc"  which was seen to emit  a 
beam of light towards the ground.  The UFO then disappeared behind  the 
tree  line  of a forest preserve.  The police report  includes  a  tape 
recording of the radio communications during the sighting. 
  
Jun. 24, 1983..Larry W. Bryant, Director of CAUS, filed a Civil Action, 
Case No.  83-1932 (Judge Oliver Gasch) petitioning for a Writ of Habeas 
Corpus  EXTRATERRESTRIAL,  in the United States District Court for  the 
Dist.  of Columbia,  seeking to obtain the release from custody of "one 
or  more  occupants of apparent extraterrestrial origin."  Mr.   Bryant 
contends  that  the  Government action in maintaining  secret  custody, 
detention,  and prosecution of such extraterrestrials is unlawful and a 
violation  of their basic rights and is seeking to restore their  civil 
rights. (see 11/3/81) 
  
Nov.  29,1983...Dr.  Robert I Sarbacher,  President and Chairman of the 
Board,   Washington  Institute of Technology,  in a letter  to  William 
Steinman states persons definitely involved in operations of  recovered 
saucers were John von Neuman and Dr. Vannever Bush. Also, Dr. Sarbacher 
thought that Robert Oppenheimer was also involved.  Dr.  Sarbacher  had 
been  invited  by  President Eisenhower to attend  several  discussions 
associated with the reported recoveries, but was unable to attend them. 
He  did receive Special Reports on the recoveries at the  Pentagon  but 
was instructed NOT to remove them from his office. 
  
1984...........From  the  Air Traffic Controllers Manual:   Controllers 
MUST  report UFOs immediately to AIS (Military),  LATCC.  A   completed 
report  MUST  be  sent  to MOD (AFOR).  A  list of  phone  numbers  and 
locations is shown in the directory at Appendix H. 
  
May 16,  1984...Dept. of the Army letter to W. S. Steinman stating that 
the  IPU  was  disestablished in the late 1950s and  all  records  were 
transferred  to the Air Force.  Therefore the Army isn't aware of  what 
their function was even though it was a Secret unit of the Army.  [FOIA 
requests to USAF] (see 3/12/87) 
  
Mar. 19, 1985..(LONDON, ENGLAND)  In a letter from Ministry of Defence, 
Lord Trefgarne states,  "There is no organization in the MOD  appointed 
solely for the purpose of studying UFOs,  and no staff are employed  on 
the  subject full time...  the staff in the Department...  examine  the 
reports as part of heir normal duties... and we cannot inform observers 
of the probable identity of the objects seen." 
  
June 28, 1985..USAF ACCESS RESTRICTED NOTICE: Report TR-DE-3A, Oct. 15,

Aug. 27, 1985..Darlian, CHINA, the "China Daily" reports: 20,000 people 
are  involved in UFO research.  The first recognized photo of a UFO  in 
China  was taken in 1945.  In 1981  CSUR UFO research organization  was 
established.   More than 600  UFOs have been reported within the past 5 
years  in  China.  Studies will be done on UFOs and Human body  science 
relationships. 
  
May 11,  1986...Near Sadona,  AR: Minister Robert H.  Henderson and his 
wife, Nann, of Phoenix, AR, were flying at an altitude of 8500 ft. at 4 
p.m. when a very bright UFO was seen approaching head-on to them. As he 
prepared to take evasive action the UFO passed quickly to the left  and 
below  of his plane.  The UFO was seen to be wingless and resembling  a 
"modified half-sphere,  with the flat side down."  The closure rate was 
estimated at about 1200 mph. 
  
May 19,  1986...Near Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: Between 9:00 
to 12  midnight the Brazilian Air Defense and the Civil Air System were 
swamped with Radar and pilot UFO sightings. As Ospires Silva, President 
of  Petrobras  Oil Company were preparing to land,  the  control  tower 
informed him of UFO targets on their radar. He and his companion, Alcir 
Pereira da Silva,  saw bright red-orange UFOs, not at all like stars or 
planes.  They attempted to pursue the UFOs for 30  min.  but gave up as 
the UFOs seemed to be jumping from place to place.  At this time  three 
F-5E  fighter  jets were scrambled from Santa Cruz AFB.  Capt.   Marcio 
Jordao was able to approach within 12  miles of an UFO,  visible to him 
as  a  bright light changing from white to green.  Lt.   Kleber  Caldas 
Marinho  chased  another UFO which was a very intense light,   changing 
from white to green then red again. Both pilots broke off chase as they 
were running low on fuel.  Ground Radar picked up 10-13  more UFOs that 
surrounded  another plane with Capt.  Armindo Souza Viriato de Marinho, 
K.C. Freitas piloting it. Capt.  Freitas tracked the UFOs on his radar, 
but  only  de Freitas,  A.S.V.  saw them visually once as they  climbed 
vertically past him. Brig. Gen.  Octavio Moreira Lima made these events 
public at a press conference and allowed the pilots and radar operators 
to be questioned by the media. (see 7/52) 
  
Feb.   15,   1987..The San Jose Mercury states that the Pentagon has  a 
"Black  Budget"  which has become a "Black Hole"  for  SECRET  Projects 
spending!   It is far bigger than the federal budget for  education  or 
transportation  or agriculture or the environment.  These Projects  are 
classified  above Top Secret,  therefore very few federal investigators 
have the security clearances necessary to audit black programs. 
  
Mar.  12, 1987..U.S.  Army Intelligenc letter:  The IPU (Interplanetary 
Phenomenon  Unit)   of  the Scientific and Technical  Branch,   Counter 
intelligence  Directorate,   Department of the Army was  disestablished 
during the 1950's and never reactivated. All of its records were turned 
over  to the USAF (which can't seem to locate them).  This  letter  was 
sent to Timothy Good. (see 5/16/84) 
  
Sep.   4,  1987...JMP (Justice for Military Personnel)  letter sent  to 
President Ronald Reagan. This letter, verified by: Astronaut L.  Gordon 
Cooper,  Maj.  Donald E. Keyhoe (USMC, Ret.), MUFON (Sequin, TX),  APRO 
(Tucson,  AZ) and Just Cause (Coventry,  CT)  states that:"WE (military 
personnel)   have  been ordered by the CIA to shoot at  UFOs,   silence 
pilots  who  have seen UFOs,  intimidate,  harass,  jail,   confine  to 
institutions,and   destroy  military  carreers  of  witnesses  to   UFO 
sightings.   We  VIOLATED  the Freedom of  Information  Act  by  hiding 
Government documents." (see 7/52,9/24/47) 
  
Nov.  17, 1986..Near Fort Yukon, Alaska: Japan Airlines flight #1628, a 
Boeing 747  freighter, was cruising at 35000  ft.  altitude and at 5:11 
p.m.  the pilots noticed bright lights 30 degrees to the left and below 
them.  The UFOs moved up directly in front of the 747  and,  said Capt. 
Kenju Terauchi,  "most unexpectedly, two spaceships stopped in front of 
our face, shooting off lights (like numerous exhaust pipes). The inside 
cockpit shined brightly and I felt warm in the face." The UFOs appeared 
as two rectangular clusters or arrays of light, one above the other. As 
the  larger UFOs moved away from the 747  Airlines Flight  1628   there 
remained two smaller flat white UFOs. At about 5:30 p.m. Capt. Terauchi 
checked  the  pale white light behind their craft visually.  He  saw  a
