Moored south of Kodiak was the USS Tillamook 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 radarscreen. It was estimated to be moving at a speed of 1800 mph.

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.

It marked the end of a long period during the Cold War when scientific interchange between East and West had been seriously interrupted. Sixty-seven countries participated in IGY projects. The IGY encompassed eleven Earth sciences: aurora and airglow, cosmic rays, geomagnetism, gravity, ionospheric physics, longitude and latitude determinations (precision mapping), meteorology, oceanography, seismology, and solar activity. The timing of the IGY was particularly suited for studying some of these phenomena, since it covered the peak of solar cycle 19. Both the Soviet Union and the U.S. launched artificial satellites for this event; the Soviet Union’s _Sputnik 1_, launched on October 4, 1957, was the first successful artificial satellite.[3] Other significant achievements of the IGY included the discovery of the Van Allen radiation belts by Explorer 1 and the defining of mid-ocean submarine ridges, an important confirmation of plate-tectonic theory. +Type: historical event +Reference: [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Geophysical_Year) ## Event 556 -Date: 6/13/1956 -Type: movie -Description: Science fiction movie “Earth vs. the Flying Saucers” is released -Location: US -Reference: [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_vs._the_Flying_Saucers) +Date: 7/30/1957 +Description: Jack Stephens, Galt, Ontario sees spaceship on ground for 45 minutes +Type: ce2 event +Reference: Keziah Poster +Location: Galt, Ontario ## Event 557 -Date: Late 1956 -Type: movie -Description: Castle AFB, California: A.A. and J.R.

It marked the end of a long period during the Cold War when scientific interchange between East and West had been seriously interrupted. Sixty-seven countries participated in IGY projects. The IGY encompassed eleven Earth sciences: aurora and airglow, cosmic rays, geomagnetism, gravity, ionospheric physics, longitude and latitude determinations (precision mapping), meteorology, oceanography, seismology, and solar activity. The timing of the IGY was particularly suited for studying some of these phenomena, since it covered the peak of solar cycle 19. Both the Soviet Union and the U.S. launched artificial satellites for this event; the Soviet Union’s _Sputnik 1_, launched on October 4, 1957, was the first successful artificial satellite.[3] Other significant achievements of the IGY included the discovery of the Van Allen radiation belts by Explorer 1 and the defining of mid-ocean submarine ridges, an important confirmation of plate-tectonic theory. -Reference: [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Geophysical_Year) - -## Event 561 -Date: 1957 -Type: atomic plant -Description: Soviet “Chelyabinsk-70” nuclear weapons program plant opens (Weapons design and research) -Reference: [link](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_atomic_bomb_project) - -## Event 562 -Date: 5/1957 -Type: ufo sighting -Description: Pilot Milton Torres flew a F-86 D Sabre from the Royal Air Force base at Manston, Kent and ordered to shoot down a large “aircraft carrier” sized UFO flying at more than 7600mph.

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 traveled. 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.” -Location: Loveland, TX +Type: ce2 event Reference: Pea Research +Location: Loveland, TX See also: 11/5/57 -## Event 569 +## Event 562 +Date: 11/5/1957 +Description: Reinhold Schmidt, Kearney, Nebr., goes aboard saucer, talks to spacepeople +Type: ce4 event +Reference: Keziah Poster +Location: Kearney, NE + +## Event 563 Date: 11/5/57 -Type: investigation Description: A single investigator from Project Blue Book headquarters arrived at Loveland, TX.

O.D. Hill admits that we are still losing 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.

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.

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 gigantic “walnut-shaped” UFO (Saturn-shaped) following them.

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. +Type: ufo sightings +Reference: Pea Research +Location: Sao Paulo, Brazil +Location: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil +See also: 7/52 + +## Event 750 +Date: 11/17/1986 +Description: 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 gigantic “walnut-shaped” UFO (Saturn-shaped) following them. As an evasive action the Capt. ordered the 747 to turn away from the giant UFO that was following them, at which time the UFO “spaceship” disappeared. +Type: ufo sightings +Reference: Pea Research +Location: Fort Yukon, Alaska + +## Event 751 +Date: 2/15/1987 +Description: The San Jose Mercury states that the Pentagon has a “Black Budget” which has become a “Black Hole” for secret projects spending.
