| Arizona watched nine white discs and another object behind a steamy |
| cloud in a completely clear sky, arranged in a V-shaped formation. |
| The ten objects moved up and down in an erratic manner, and in and |
| out of the unnatural cloud for 5-6 minutes. (Sources: Ted Bloecher, |

| light that pulsed 8 times per second for four seconds. (Source: U.S. |
| Air Force Project Blue Book files counted in official statistics, |
| case 1167; Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). |
| |
| 1952 - At 3:30 p.m. on this same day in Marshall, Texas private pilot |

| 1957 - Two men, Lerdahl and Ellison, reported that three dozen UFOs |
| flew over Virginia, Minnesota in groups of 6-8 for 40 minutes |
| beginning at 10:15 p.m. The UFOs were greenish, disc-shaped objects |
| flying in crescent formations, and were viewed through binoculars. |
| They went from east to west, and each group flew from horizon to |
| horizon in eight seconds. (Sources: NICAP UFO Investigator, August |
| 1960, p. 7; Jay Rath, The M-Files: True Reports of Minnesota's |

| a suburb of Adelaide, South Australia took a photograph of a |
| saucer-shaped object. The main body of the UFO appeared to be |
| rotating on its vertical axis, but the row of lights remained steady. |

| disc-shaped craft are filmed passing a USAF X-15 rocket plane being |
| commanded by test pilot Walker during a record flight to 200,000 feet |
| altitude. Note: most civilian sources list this case as occurring on |
| April 30, but the Air Force lists the flight as occurring on this |
| date. (Sources: Frank Edwards, Flying Saucers--Serious Business, p. |
| 121; Richard F. Haines, Project Delta: A Study of Multiple UFO, p. |

| pipes circled a Beechcraft Bonanza aircraft flown by a single private |
| pilot at 10,000 feet altitude. According to the witness, who was |
| flying between Asuncion, Paraguay to Posadas, Argentina, the UFO |
| moved extremely fast. (Source: Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO |
| Encounters, p. 34). |
| |
| 1977 - A car being driven by a 47-year-old woman and accompained by |
| another female passenger was paced by a white glowing objectin |
| Oxford, Ohio for three minutes. The description of the shape |

| The incident occurred near a Nike missile base. (Source: Allan |
| Hendry, International UFO Reporter, June 1977, p. 3). |
| |
| 1979 - An airline stewardess was at the shore in Makapu'u, Hawaii at |
| 10:45 p.m. when she sighted a huge triangular UFO with many lights. |
| It moved at an estimated 100 mph and made a humming sound. It |
| maneuvered in the sky and flew away out to sea. (Source: Larry Hatch, |
| U computer database, case 13689, citing APRO Bulletin, May 1979). |

| restricted air space. (Source: CUFOS files, letter from witness). |
