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.

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 1371 -Date: 7/25/1957 -Time: 1910 -Description: Mr. Joao Guimaraes, who is a professor at the Catholic Faculty of Law in Santos, was sitting near the shore when he saw a hat-shaped, luminous craft approach from the sea and land near him.

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. -Type: ufo midair collision -Reference: [Pea Research](https://www.academia.edu/9813787/GOVERNMENT_INVOLVEMENT_IN_THE_UFO_COVER_UP_CHRONOLOGY_based) -Location: Buffalo, Texas -See also: 4/1/59 -See also: 5/61 - -## Event 1530 -Date: 10/2/1959 -Description: Approximate date.

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. -Type: publication -Reference: Fate Magazine, 5/1961 -Location: US -See also: 4/1/59 -See also: 9/29/59 - -## Event 1584 -Date: 5/3/1961 -Time: 2200 -Description: Approximate date.

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. -Type: ufo sighting -Reference: [Pea Research](https://www.academia.edu/9813787/GOVERNMENT_INVOLVEMENT_IN_THE_UFO_COVER_UP_CHRONOLOGY_based) (B1-F p281) -Location: Haderslev, Denmark -See also: 3/4/69 - -## Event 2190 -Date: 8/13/1975 -Description: Staff Sgt.

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 inflamed 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. -Type: ce4 event -Reference: [Pea Research](https://www.academia.edu/9813787/GOVERNMENT_INVOLVEMENT_IN_THE_UFO_COVER_UP_CHRONOLOGY_based) (B1-F p282) -Location: Alamogordo, NM -See also: 3/4/69 - -## Event 2191 -Date: 10/1975 -End date: 12/1975 -Description: Reliable military personnel saw unconventional and unexplained aerial objects hovering around nuclear weapons storage sites, aircraft alert areas and missile control complexes at installations across the northern United States.

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 12feet 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 maneuverability was displayed by the UFOs.” -Type: ufo sighting -Reference: [Pea Research](https://www.academia.edu/9813787/GOVERNMENT_INVOLVEMENT_IN_THE_UFO_COVER_UP_CHRONOLOGY_based) (B1-E p497, TEHRAN, B1-F p288, B1-G p72) -Location: Tehran, Iran -See also: 10/2/72 -See also: 9/20/76 - -## Event 2201 -Date: 1977 -Description: V.

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.

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.

Department of Defense has determined that about half of the additional sightings displayed “unremarkable characteristics.” A U.S. official told CBS News that none of the incidents have yet been definitively linked to China, Russia or any other country.” -Type: unclassified report -Reference: [link](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hundreds-more-ufo-sightings-included-latest-report/) -Location: Washington DC - -## Year Histogram -* 0, 1 -* 1600, 1 -* 1700, 1 -* 1780, 1 -* 1800, 1 -* 1825, 1 -* 1831, 1 -* 1838, 1 -* 1858, 1 -* 1860, 1 -* 1865, 1 -* 1868, 1 -* 1872, 1 -* 1873, 1 -* 1879, 2 -* 1880, 3 -* 1881, 1 -* 1885, 2 -* 1886, 1 -* 1887, 1 -* 1889, 2 -* 1890, 1 -* 1894, 1 -* 1895, 1 -* 1896, 1 -* 1897, 22 -* 1902, 1 -* 1904, 1 -* 1905, 1 -* 1908, 3 -* 1909, 2 -* 1910, 1 -* 1912, 1 -* 1914, 4 -* 1915, 3 -* 1917, 1 -* 1918, 1 -* 1919, 1 -* 1920, 2 -* 1921, 1 -* 1922, 3 -* 1926, 1 -* 1928, 1 -* 1929, 5 -* 1933, 5 -* 1934, 3 -* 1935, 1 -* 1936, 1 -* 1938, 2 -* 1939, 4 -* 1940, 3 -* 1941, 4 -* 1942, 7 -* 1943, 13 -* 1944, 7 -* 1945, 22 -* 1946, 31 -* 1947, 113 -* 1948, 61 -* 1949, 65 -* 1950, 87 -* 1951, 51 -* 1952, 282 -* 1953, 93 -* 1954, 322 -* 1955, 53 -* 1956, 35 -* 1957, 103 -* 1958, 47 -* 1959, 38 -* 1960, 32 -* 1961, 36 -* 1962, 47 -* 1963, 54 -* 1964, 62 -* 1965, 118 -* 1966, 132 -* 1967, 116 -* 1968, 27 -* 1969, 9 -* 1970, 3 -* 1971, 1 -* 1972, 3 -* 1973, 5 -* 1974, 4 -* 1975, 10 -* 1976, 5 -* 1977, 5 -* 1978, 8 -* 1979, 3 -* 1980, 16 -* 1981, 6 -* 1982, 6 -* 1983, 4 -* 1984, 6 -* 1985, 5 -* 1986, 4 -* 1987, 7 -* 1988, 9 -* 1989, 14 -* 1990, 2 -* 1991, 1 -* 1993, 1 -* 1994, 4 -* 1996, 4 -* 1997, 4 -* 1998, 2 -* 2001, 4 -* 2003, 1 -* 2004, 1 -* 2007, 1 -* 2008, 1 -* 2009, 2 -* 2010, 1 -* 2015, 1 -* 2017, 5 -* 2018, 2 -* 2019, 8 -* 2020, 5 -* 2021, 5 -* 2022, 7 -* 2023, 2 +See [timeline](timeline.html) diff --git a/timeline.html b/timeline.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c1b6e94 --- /dev/null +++ b/timeline.html @@ -0,0 +1,28011 @@ +

Event 133

+

Date: 9/7/1944
+Description: First V-2 rocket attacks begin. Two launched at Paris. +V-2’s speed and trajectory made it practically invulnerable to +anti-aircraft guns and fighters, as it dropped from an altitude of +100–110 km (62–68 mi) at up to three times the speed of sound at sea +level (approximately 3550 km/h). The British government, concerned about +spreading panic or giving away vital intelligence to German forces, +initially attempted to conceal the cause of the explosions by making no +official announcement, and euphemistically blaming them on defective gas +mains. The public did not believe this explanation and therefore began +referring to the V-2s as “flying gas mains”.

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.

Date: 12/8/1957
+Time: 1750
+Description: Between Woodward and Seiling, 12 km from the latter, an +unknown flying object allegedly took complete control of a car with +three passengers. The driver, an employee of an aircraft company, had +turned the heater, windshield wiper, and radio on. He was nearing a hill +in this wooded area when a bright light appeared ahead. It reminded the +witness of the light from a mercury lamp. As a crash seemed imminent, +the car slowed down by itself and stopped, as if the entire electrical +circuit had failed. Over the vehicle was a disk 16 m in diameter with +portholes around the periphery, emitting a current of hot air and a +high-pitched sound. It had a dome on top and bottom. It rose as the car +started by itself. The car was a 1954 Dodge Coronet without automatic +transmission. The witness spent four hours with two Kirtland AFB +officers who told him of similar observations. The case was never +reported to Blue Book.

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.

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.

+Description: 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 12feet 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 maneuverability was displayed by the UFOs.”
