<h2 id="update-history">Update History:</h2>
<ul>
<li>v1.23-1.24: Added a handful of key historical events, such as Edward
Tauss the head of CIA UFO disinformation in the 50’s</li>
<li>v1.22: Fixing the date of Dr. Eric W. Davis’s March, 2020 classified
briefing to the Senate (I had it listed as March 2019) - info from NY
Times. Basic locations added to Eberhart records using OpenAI.</li>
<li>v1.20: Split up into 5 parts, to work around iPhone web browser
limits. Minor spelling and grammer fixes throughout timeline.</li>
<li>v1.15: Eberhart records now have basic locations, thanks to OpenAI’s
Davinci-3 AI model. They aren’t perfect, but it’s a good start to
geocoding them.</li>
<li>v1.14: Added nuclear test data, over 2000 records, from the <a
href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220407121213/https://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/~richards/my_papers/WW_nuclear_tests_IASPEI_HB.pdf">Worldwide
Nuclear Explosions</a> paper by Yang, North, Romney, and Richards. Note
the locations in the paper are approximate, and the yields are not super
accurate, which are two problems I’ll fix over time. I improved the
coordinates of the earliest USA/USSR tests by looking them up from
Wikipedia.</li>
<li>v1.13: Split up the timeline into 4 parts. Still not the best
solution, but it avoids croaking browsers.</li>
<li>v1.12: Added *U* database record data, using a custom event
description decoder to handle his 1k+ abbreviations and custom
syntax</li>
<li>v1.11: Crawled all ~10.5k unique URL’s in this timeline using <a
href="https://curl.se/">curl</a> and fixed dead URL’s to use
archive.org.</li>
<li>v1.10: Added NIPCAP DB data.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="important-notes">Important Notes:</h2>
<p>Best viewed on a desktop/laptop, not a mobile device.</p>
<p>I’ve split up the timeline into 4 parts, to reduce their sizes:
distant past up to 1949, 1950-1959, 1960-1979, and 1980-present.</p>
<p>The majority of the events in this chronology are sighting related,
however it’s important to be aware that this is a timeline of UFO/UAP
related <em>events</em>, not necessarily or exclusively UFO
<em>sightings</em>.</p>
<p>Some sighting reports or events appear multiple times in this
timeline because they appear in more than one data source. I view this
as a useful feature.</p>
<p>Currently, the events are not sorted by time of day, only by date.
Some sources have separate “time” fields, but most don’t. This will be
fixed once the event times are automatically extracted from the
description fields.</p>
<p>A few events don’t have firm dates, for example “Summer of 1947”, or
“Late July 1952”. In these instances the compilation code uses fixed
dates I selected for date sorting purposes. (See the code for the
specific dates.)</p>
<h2 id="source-code">Source Code:</h2>
<p>This website is created automatically using a <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B">C++</a> command line tool
called “ufojson”. It parses the raw text and <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown">Markdown</a> source data
to <a href="https://www.json.org/json-en.html">JSON format</a>, which is
then converted to a single large web page using <a
href="https://pandoc.org/">pandoc</a>. This tool’s source code and all
of the raw source and JSON data is located <a

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 812<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Lyon, France; Magonia; Mahón, the port of
the island of Menorca, Spain<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agobard">Agobard</a><a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agobard">,</a> the archbishop of
Lyon, France, writes De Grandine et Tonitruis (“On Hail and Thunder”),
in which he condemns pagan folk beliefs, such as the notion of a
“certain region called Magonia, from which ships, navigating on clouds,
set sail to transport back to this same region the fruits of the earth
ruined by hail and destroyed by the storm.” He cites an episode in which
some foolish peasants capture “three men and one woman who they said had
fallen from these ships.” Brought out in front of an enraged mob,
Agobard intervenes and prevents their lynching, persuading the crowd
that the charges are false and absurd. Some ufologists interpret this as
a visitation from an alternate reality or an abduction case, while
Jean-Louis Brodu observes that in the 9th century the atmosphere was
likened to an ocean in which aerial ships could navigate from point to
point on the earth. Miceal Ross argues that Magonia is a corruption of
Magonianus, relating to the city of Mahón, the port of the island of
Menorca, Spain.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Above Tubingen, Germany fiery clouds
circled in the sky around seven o’clock in the morning, from which
emerged “large, tall and wide” hat-shaped objects. The glow cast upon
the ground was yellow and “bloody”. The hat-shaped flying objects were
multicolored: black, red, blue, and green.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 4/4/1561<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> Nuremberg, Germany<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Dusk. A “frightening vision” is seen in
the sky above Nuremberg, Germany, said to be observed by many. Printer
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans%5FGlaser">Hans
Glaser</a> describes in his broadside many blood-red, blue, and black
balls or discs near the Sun. “They were three alongside each other,
sometimes four in a square, and several alone, and between these balls
blood- colored crosses” are seen. Two “great pipes” (cannon) are also
observed, and everything starts to “fight against each other.” The
battle lasts about one hour, then the burning balls fall to the earth
and vanish on the ground. Although cited as a possible early UFO report,
the narrative is simply about a battle in the sky by phantom armies told
as an allegory of what awaits an unrepentant humanity on Judgment
Day.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> church in a village near Lake Zarobozero,
Vologda Oblast, Russia; Lake Zarobozero, Vologda Oblast, Russia<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 12:00 noon. The faithful gathered in a
church in a village near Lake Zarobozero, Vologda Oblast, Russia, hear a
loud noise outside and see a large ball of fire descend from the north
and then head south following the lake, low over its surface. The
fireball seems to measure about 140 feet across and has blue smoke
issuing from its sides. Two fiery rays extend from its front part. Less
than an hour later, a similar fireball reappears over the same lake.
Moving from south to west, the object again disappears. It reappears a
third time a short while later, this time larger than before, and stays
over the lake for an hour and a half. Peasants in a boat try to get
close to it, but the heat is too intense. The water of the lake is
illuminated to a depth of 30 feet, and fish are seen swimming away from
the object, which then flies off to the west.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> At noon on this day a large ball of fire,
45 meters in diameter, descended toward Lake Robozero, Bieloziero,
Russia. Two beams of light came from the object and was directed onto
fisherman in a boat on the lake. The water in the lake was illuminated
to a depth of 30 feet. The fisherman were burned by the heat from the
beams, and the water became covered with a “rust” material.<br />

Short</a> witnesses a blood-red luminous display in the sky around
Sheffield, England, which moves from west to north and then to the east.
The cause seems to be one or more clouds in which are embedded brilliant
lights as bright as the full moon that give off slow-moving streamers or
rays. The display is accompanied by unseasonable heat and lasts until
10:30 p.m. Short hears that a similar phenomenon is seen at the same
time in Venice, Italy, and Kilkenny, Ireland, where it appears as a
bursting fireball.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Dawn. Parson-naturalist <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert%5FWhite">Gilbert
White</a> wakes up at his vicarage in Selborne, Hampshire, England, and
finds the neighboring clover fields matted all over with a thick coat of
cobwebs, laced with dew. The dogs are blinded by it when they attempt to
hunt. At 9:00 a.m. more cobwebs fall from the sky and continue until
dusk. They are “perfect flakes or rags; some near an inch broad, and
five or six long, which fell with a degree of velocity that showed they
were considerably heavier than the atmosphere.” The fall extends to the
neighboring villages of New Alresford and Bradley.<br />

Mortimer</a><a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cromwell%5FMortimer">,</a> secretary
of the Royal Society, is walking through St. James’s Park in
Westminster, London, England, when he sees a light ascend from behind
the trees and houses in the southwest. When it reaches 20° against the
sky, it takes a horizontal path with an undulating motion before
disappearing in the northeast after a full 30 seconds. The front part is
luminous with a frame-like structure behind it, and it has a faint
trail. The date is questionable since Mortimer calls this a “Thursday”
and December 16 was a Sunday.<br />

the Moon, as well as spirits from planets beyond the solar system. From
these encounters, he concludes that the planets are all inhabited and
that such an enormous undertaking as the universe cannot have been
created for just one race on one planet.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 12:00 noon. An amateur astronomer named de
Rostan is observing the Sun at Lausanne, Switzerland, when he notices a
large, spindle-shaped body moving across the solar disc from east to
west at a slower rate of speed than sunspots move. It is surrounded by a
thin “nebulosity.” An observer named Croste in Solothurn, Switzerland,
also observes the object, but French astronomer <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles%5FMessier">Charles
Messier</a>, who is also taking solar measurements in Paris, France,
does not see it. It remains visible until September 7, when it passes
the Sun’s western limb.<br />

Messier</a> views a large number of round, dark-brown globules passing
in front of the disc of the sun for 5 minutes from west-southwest to
east-northeast. He sees them through an achromatic refractor at the
naval observatory located in the Hôtel de Cluny in Paris, France. His
estimate of their size (one-600th the size of the solar disc) puts them
near the limit of resolution for his telescope, but Messier claims the
objects are far away and in focus.<br />

are towns and villages. He also notes canals, roads, and patches of
vegetation, but never writes about it publicly, since he knows that
telescopic observations can be tricky.<br />

Windsor Castle, Berkshire, England<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 9:15–9:30 p.m. An unusually bright bolide
is observed in the British Isles on a clear, dry night. Analysis
indicates that the meteor has entered the Earth’s atmosphere over the
North Sea, before passing over the east coast of Scotland, England, and
the English Channel; it finally breaks up, after a passage within the
atmosphere of around 1,000 miles, over southwestern France or northern
Italy. Perhaps the most prominent witness is <a

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 6/12/1790<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> Alençon, Normandy, France<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 5:00 a.m. Several farmers in Alençon,
Normandy, France, see a large globe surrounded by flames and making a
whistling sound. The object slows, oscillates, and moves toward the top
of a hill, unearthing some plants along the slope. The heat is so
intense that grass and small trees start burning. In the evening the
sphere is still warm. Witnesses include two mayors, a doctor, and three
other authorities in addition to the dozens of peasants who are present.
A kind of door opens and a person emerges. He is dressed in a
tight-fitting suit and, seeing all the people, says some words that are
not understood. He runs into the woods. The sphere explodes silently,
throwing pieces everywhere, and these pieces burn until they are powder.
The original source is allegedly from a June 17 report by a Police
Inspector Liabeuf and forwarded to the French Academy of Sciences.
However, the Academy reported in 2006 that it has no knowledge of such a
report in its archives. Probable hoax.<br />

<strong>Location:</strong> Hitachi province, Japan<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> An attractive young woman aged 18–20 years
old arrives on a beach aboard a “hollow ship” (Utsuro-bune) that looks
like a rice cooking pot or incense burner in Hitachi province, Japan.
Fishermen bring her inland to investigate further, but the woman is
unable to communicate in Japanese. She is dressed in a foreign fashion
made of unknown fabrics and is clutching an ornate box also marked with
the unknown script. The vessel is covered in hieroglyphs that no one can
decipher. The fishermen return her and her vessel to the sea, where it
drifts away. Accounts of the tale appear in three texts: Toen shōsetsu
(1825), Hyōryū kishū (1835), and Ume-no-chiri (1844), but no official
records mention it.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 4:00 p.m. Swedish lichenologist <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik%5FAcharius">Erik
Acharius</a> watches a stream of dark-brown spherical objects moving
slowly through the sky in a straight line over Biskopsberga, near
Skänninge, Sweden. Some hover temporarily and speed up, while others
fall to earth. The objects appear in the western sky and stream to the
east for 2 hours. Some are apparently linked together in groups of
three, six, or eight, and all of them have some kind of trail. A few of
them fall in the vicinity of K. G. Wettermark, who has also been
observing. They resemble soap bubbles and dissipate quickly, leaving a
film like cobweb.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 8/13/1819<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> Amherst, Massachusetts<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 8:00–9:00 p.m. A brilliant white fireball
streaks across the sky at Amherst, Massachusetts. The next morning,
Erastus Dewey finds a strange substance 20 feet from his front door and
assumes it is residue from the meteorite. It is about 8 inches in
diameter, resembles an upside-down salad dish, and consists of
buff-colored pulpy substance with an overwhelmingly bad smell. It is
covered with a nap that, when removed, causes the interior to liquefy
and form a starchy substance. A couple days later, it largely
dissipates. Geologist <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward%5FHitchcock">Edward</a> <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward%5FHitchcock">Hitchcock</a> thinks
it is some kind of “gelatinous fungus” common to the area in the late
summer.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Munich, Germany; Moon; Schröter crater<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Bavarian astronomer <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz%5Fvon%5FGruithuisen">Franz von
Gruithuisen</a> of Munich, Germany, writes Discovery of Many Distinct
Traces of Lunar Inhabitants, Especially of One of their Colossal
Buildings, in which he announces his discovery of a city on the Moon in
the rough terrain to the north of Schröter crater that he names the
Wallwerk. This region contains a series of somewhat linear ridges that
have a fishbone-like pattern, and, with the small refracting telescope
he is using, can be perceived as resembling buildings complete with
streets. His claims are readily refuted using more powerful instruments.
Gruithuisen also thinks that the mysterious “ashen light” observed on
Venus’s dark side is due to a festival of fire in honor of the
“ascension of a new emperor to the throne of the planet.” Later, he
speculates that the illumination is caused by burning jungles to create
new farmland.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 4:00 p.m. Stone mason Johannes Becker
hears a noise resembling thunder at Rastpfuhl, northwest of Saarbrücken,
Germany, and sees a grayish object “like two pieces of tin” approaching
the earth with lightning speed and expanding itself like a sheet before
falling to earth, apparently not far away. After one minute there is
another sound like thunder and a strong whirlwind, as if coming from an
impact. Pastor Köllner collects testimony from other nearby witnesses
and visits the supposed landing site but finds no burn marks or
meteoritic stones.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 11/13/1833<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> On this date in 1833 a series of incidents
involving a luminous aerial object and the fall of mysterious jelly-like
substances were reported in New York, New Jersey and Ohio. At dawn in
West Point, New York, a woman milking her cow saw a luminous object
descend “with a sposh” sound. She discovered a flattened, jelly-like
transparent mass. By 10:00 in the morning it had sublimed and
disappeared. The same kind of jelly-like substance was found on the
ground in Newark and Rahway, New Jersey. In Poland, Ohio a luminous
object in the northeastern sky, at dawn, hovered for nearly an hour. It
was described as very brilliant, and was shaped like a “pruning hook.”
Earlier, at a short time after 2:00 a.m., a luminous object was also
seen in the sky at Niagara Falls, New York. It was shaped like a square
table, remained stationary in the sky, and emitted rays of light.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 8/25/1835<br />
<strong>End date:</strong> 8/31/1835<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> New York; America; Europe<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> The New York Sun publishes a series of six
articles on the alleged discovery by English astronomer <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John%5FHerschel">John</a> <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John%5FHerschel">Herschel</a> of
plants, animals, and winged people on the lunar surface. Using a huge
and powerful telescope, Herschel supposedly sees herds of bison-like
quadrupeds, a spherical amphibious creature, and a bipedal beaver that
lives in huts. The humans are man-bats “covered, except on the face,
with short and glossy copper-colored hair, and had wings composed of a
thin membrane, without hair, lying snugly upon their backs.” The article
is an elaborate hoax. Herschel hasn’t observed life on the moon at all,
nor is Herschel even aware of the story until much later. The
announcement causes enormous excitement throughout America and Europe.
Authorship of the article is usually attributed to Richard Adams Locke,
a reporter who is working for The Sun at the time. Locke publicly admits
to being the author in 1840, in a letter to the weekly paper New World,
although his intent is satire, not misinformation.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Strait of Sicily; Licata, Sicily, Italy;
Ainab, Lebanon<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 10:30 p.m. The British brig Victoria,
captained by <a
href="https://molegenealogy.blogspot.com/2014/02/tracing-master-mariners-career.html">George
Henry Caithness</a><a
href="https://molegenealogy.blogspot.com/2014/02/tracing-master-mariners-career.html">,</a> is
becalmed in the Strait of Sicily about 30 miles southwest of Licata,
Sicily, Italy, when a huge wind suddenly blows from the east for two
hours. Then the wind suddenly stops, and the crew feels an overpowering
heat and smells a sulfuric stench. At this moment three “luminous
bodies” emerge from the sea about one-half mile away and remain visible
for 10 minutes. Shortly thereafter the wind picks up again. (This could
be a magma plume from an undersea volcanic vent.) Around 7:10 p.m., at
Ainab, Lebanon, two objects five times as large as the moon, joined by
“streamers or appendages,” are observed in the west and remain visible
for one hour, moving slowly on an easterly course. The objects are so
bright they are painful to look at. A possible outgassing event from the
Madrepore subsea vent.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Highbury East, London, England;
Hampstead<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 8:30 p.m. A woman and her companion are in
Highbury East, London, England, when they notice what seems to be a fire
balloon ascending slowly in the west, seemingly over Hampstead. It
shoots out “several fiery coruscations” and turns into an intensely
radiant cloud, which moves on further west. Its light shines down on the
houses below. Suddenly another bright cloud appears above the first.
After 2–3 minutes, a fiery ball drops from the upper cloud to the lower
one, followed by two others. Soon after this, both clouds
disappear.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Sunset. A large cloud moves in over
Carbondale, Pennsylvania, from the northwest, accompanied by
considerable wind. It emits a dark-looking substance that falls to the
ground, where it becomes highly luminous. It moves toward a large barn
and passes through its center, setting it on fire, and continues on in a
straight course for the woods, burning up the underbrush. It makes a
path about 16 feet wide for a distance of 3 miles, and it finally stops
against an outcrop of anthracite coal 60 feet in thickness. It leaves a
sulfurous mass behind.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 7/20/1860<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Brooklyn, New York; Texas State
University–San Marcos; Hudson River; New York; Philadelphia; Washington,
D.C.; Baltimore; Norfolk<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 9:40 p.m. A poem by Brooklyn, New York,
poet <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt%5FWhitman">Walt
Whitman</a><a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt%5FWhitman">,</a> “Year of
Meteors (1859-60),” published in a later edition of Leaves of Grass,
describes a “strange huge meteor-procession dazzling and clear shooting
over our heads.” For many years, no one could identify the event. Then
in 2000, Texas State University–San Marcos physicist Donald W.
Olson discovered a painting by Hudson River artist <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederic%5FEdwin%5FChurch">Frederic
Edwin Church</a> depicting two large meteors streaming across the sky
and dated July 20, 1860. An examination of contemporary newspapers
revealed that this was probably Whitman’s meteor procession. Around 9:40
p.m., two meteors with trails, one behind another, are seen in New York,
Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Norfolk, and other locations
in the East, proceeding slowly from northwest to southeast for nearly
one minute. They are as bright as Venus. A rare event, and little
understood until 1913, a meteor procession occurs when an earth-grazing
meteor breaks apart and the fragments travel across the sky in the same
horizontal path. Olson and his colleagues finally publish their
discovery in the July 2010 issue of Sky &amp; Telescope.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Norfolk, Virginia; Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 11:00 p.m. Another seeming procession of
two meteors is observed in Norfolk, Virginia, moving with an undulating
motion in the western sky in a northerly direction. One of the lights is
clear red and the other is greenish, and they both emit flashes of
light, leaving a sparkling trail. The phenomenon is also seen in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Some unnamed contemporary scientists compare
it to the July 20 meteor procession.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 12/1865<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Durham, England; Whitburn; Tyne; Sunderland;
Lizard Point<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> The British Board of Trade asks Trinity
House to investigate the “false lights” of the Durham, England, coast,
mysterious revolving lights seen above a rocky headland at Whitburn by
mariners negotiating a hazardous stretch of the northeast coast. Between
1860 and 1870, more than 150 ships are wrecked on the rocks near
Whitburn after following a light or lights in the sky that they wrongly
believe are from a lighthouse at the mouth of the Tyne. A commission led
by Rear Admiral <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard%5FCollinson">Richard
Collinson</a> meets in Sunderland on December 28 to interview witnesses
and determine whether salvagers are responsible for the lights that are
causing shipwrecks. Although the commission decides that the false
lights are not deliberately lit, they are puzzled about the true cause.
The lights and wrecks continue until January 1871 when the Souter
Lighthouse is erected on Lizard Point.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 9:50 p.m. John Lucas Sr., an observer at
Radcliffe Observatory, Oxford University, England, notices a comet- like
object with a trail a bit west of Polaris. As he is pointing it out to
some others, it begins moving west. It moves in a straight line at
first, then moves south for a bit, then continues to the north. They
watch it for 4 minutes until it disappears below the northwestern
horizon.<br />

through the air as well as a vessel he calls an “ark.” He hears a voice
suggesting that “That’s a machine to go through the air.” The voice
comes from a “spirit” whom he describes as “like a neutral tint shade
and the shape of a man in his usual frock dress.” After the ark
maneuvers for a while in the air, the spirit says, “Have you a desire or
do you wish to enter upon it?” He is then lifted up and carried through
the air into the object about 60 feet away. The spirit guides him into
the “pilot house” of the machine where he is given some papers with
formulas on them that will help him construct a flying machine. He
observes another UFO-like craft on March 9, 1873, and later attempts to
build a mechanical replica of what he has seen.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> Late 3/1873<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Taylorsville (now Philo); Bristol Township;
Lawrence Road; New York Herald<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Evening. Thomas Inman and his son are
traveling home from the village of Taylorsville [now Philo], Ohio, and
are possibly in Bristol Township when they see a bright light descending
swiftly with a roaring noise. It strikes a short distance in the road
[probably Lawrence Road] ahead of them, flickers and flares, then fades.
A man dressed in a suit of black carrying a lantern emerges from the
object. He walks a few paces and steps into a buggy, which Inman has not
noticed before. The buggy begins to move silently and quickly, even
though there is no horse attached to it, until it reaches a deep gully,
into which it plunges and disappears. Historian <a

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 8/13/1874<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Pascagoula, Mississippi; Gulf of
Mexico<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 11:00 p.m. A large, “luminous electric
cloud” flies over the western edge of Pascagoula, Mississippi, from the
northwest to the southeast. It illuminates the ground and emits heat so
intense that some witnesses think their houses are about to ignite. When
last seen over the Gulf of Mexico, it renders the spars and rigging of a
ship “distinctly visible.”<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 8:30–8:45 p.m. A bright bolide that
explodes and breaks up into a group of 20–100 smaller balls is seen over
a wide swath of the US from Topeka, Kansas, to western Pennsylvania.
Over Columbus, Ohio, it is described as “a cluster or flock of meteors
seemingly huddled together, like a flock of wild geese, and moving with
the same velocity and grace of regularity. The color of their light was
a yellowish red, like red rocket-balls.” A stony chondrite falls 3 miles
northwest of Rochester, Indiana, at the same time.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Brera Observatory; Milan, Italy<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Astronomer <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni%5FSchiaparelli">Giovanni
Schiaparelli</a> reports seeing canali on the Martian surface from Brera
Observatory in Milan, Italy, during the Great Opposition. While the term
“canals” indicates an artificial construction, its proper translation as
“channels” implies that the observed features are natural configurations
of the planetary surface. From the incorrect translation into the term
“canals,” various assumptions are made about life on Mars; as these
assumptions are popularized, the canals become famous, giving rise to
waves of hypotheses, speculation, and fiction about the possibility of
intelligent life on Mars—the Martians.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Ann Arbor (Mich.); Separation, Wyoming;
Rochester, New York; Denver, Colorado<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> About 12:30 p.m. Astronomers <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James%5FCraig%5FWatson">James Craig
Watson</a>, director of the Ann Arbor (Mich.) Observatory, and <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis%5FSwift">Lewis Swift</a><a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis%5FSwift">,</a> an amateur from
Rochester, New York, both claim to see a planet-like object close to the
Sun during the total solar eclipse. Watson, observing from Separation,
Wyoming, places the object about 2.5° southwest of the Sun and estimates
its magnitude at 4.5. Swift, observing from a location near Denver,
Colorado, sees what he takes to be an intra-mercurial planet about 3°
southwest of the Sun. He estimates its brightness to be the same as that
of Theta Cancri, a fifth-magnitude star which is also visible during
totality, about six or seven minutes from the object. Both Watson and
Swift describe the object as red in color. Watson says it has a definite
disc, unlike stars, which appear as shimmering pinpoints of light.<br />

<strong>Location:</strong> Galisteo, New Mexico<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Night. The train depot operator and a few
friends are walking at Galisteo, New Mexico, when they hear loud voices
and laughter coming from a “large balloon” shaped like a fish
approaching from the west. A flower is dropped from the car of the
balloon to which is attached a slip of silk-like paper on which Chinese
characters are written. The next morning, searchers find a cup of
peculiar workmanship, but both artifacts are purchased by a “wealthy
young Chinaman” and a “collector of curiosities” who visits town on
March 28, although this part of the tale seems facetious and racist. The
yarn is typical of sensational newspaper hoaxes that have no basis in
reality.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 6:00 p.m. C. A. Youngman and Ben Flexner
are looking out a drugstore window at 2nd and Chestnut streets in
Louisville, Kentucky, when they see something in the air coming from the
direction of the Ohio River bridge. As it approaches them, it appears to
be a man surrounded by machinery, which he is working with his hands and
feet. The object is too high to make out the details of its
construction. The man moves off to the south, pedaling constantly.
Around 8:00 p.m., the Royster family of Madisonville, Kentucky, watches
a circular flying object with a ball at each end moving above the train
depot.<br />

Árbol y Bonilla</a><a
href="https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9%5F%C3%81rbol%5Fy%5FBonilla">,</a> director
of the El Cerro de la Bufa Meteorological Observatory in Zacatecas,
Mexico, is observing the sun by eyepiece projection when he and an
assistant see a large number of small bodies crossing the solar disc.
Over the course of two days, they count a total of 447 dark objects.
They seem bright as they approach the sun but are dark as they pass
across its face. He takes several photographs and suspects that they are
relatively near the earth. Mexican astronomers in 2011 suggested that a
comet may have split into several pieces; these objects were estimated
to have had a size of between 150 and 3,350 feet, and to have passed
only 334 to 5,000 miles from the Earth; they thought a fragmented Comet
12P/Pons-Brooks was one possibility, in which case Earth barely avoided
multiple Tunguska events or even a mass extinction; this was reported in
the media and disputed in October 2011; but the source of these objects
could also have been comet C/1883 D1 (Brooks-Swift) or even a third,
unknown comet that year; the event also coincided with the annual
Perseid meteor shower; even migrating birds cannot be ruled out.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 1:00 p.m. Rancher John W. Ellis and some

see a blazing object fall from the sky and crash into many pieces,
burning the grass and fusing the sand. The light is so intense it blinds
one of them. The newspaper suggests it is a “vessel belonging originally
to some other planet.” The remains of the object are said to have
dissolved in a rainstorm. However, the tale is actually a fictional
story written by a correspondent in Benkelman.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Night. Nine persons who are sleeping in a
hut some 10 miles from Maracaibo, Venezuela, are awakened by a loud
humming noise and a dazzling light that illuminates the interior. The
people begin to pray but they start vomiting as extensive swellings
appear on the upper part of their bodies, especially around the face and
lips. They feel no heat, although the light has a smoky appearance and a
peculiar smell. The next morning, the swellings subside but leave black
blotches. By November 2, the skin peels off and the blotches are round
sores. Portions of their hair falls off. Trees around the hut show no
damage until November 2, when they suddenly wither. The symptoms are
similar to those of ionizing radiation syndrome.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 5:00 p.m. Captain Cornelis Dirks Swart of
the Dutch bark J.P.A. sees a “meteor in the shape of two balls” during a
storm in the North Atlantic about 590 miles northeast of Bermuda. One
ball is black and the other is luminous and oblong. The luminous object
descends with a roar and lights up the ship and surrounding water. The
crew feels heat from the object even as solid lumps of ice fall on the
deck and the rigging becomes iced. The side of the ship where it falls
turns partially black and the copper plating is blistered. The wind
increases to “hurricane force.”<br />

<strong>Location:</strong> Winsted, Connecticut<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 3:15 p.m. During a severe thunderstorm,
after a flash of lightning and a peal of thunder, witnesses see a huge
flame at Highland Lake, near Winsted, Connecticut. The water is parted
for yards by a huge ball of fire at least 10 feet in diameter, and
billows rise on either side to a height of 20 feet. The light moves
toward the head of the lake with great velocity. When it is within 100
yards of the shore, another flash of lightning strikes, and the fireball
disappears. The waters of the lake remain disturbed for hours.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Day. An unnamed witness claims to see a
“meteor” explode with a loud noise over the Wasson &amp; Miller flour
mill and cotton gin in Dublin, Texas. The object looks like “a bale of
cotton suspended in the air after having been saturated in kerosene oil
and ignited, except that it created a much brighter light” that dazzles
people standing several hundred feet away. The object shatters into
pieces before it hits the ground, the fragments setting the grass and
weeds on fire. In addition to the fragments is a scrap of paper with
writing in a strange language.<br />

M. Swan</a> and L. D. Dodson (an equestrian recovering from an illness)
are camped in Coyote Canyon [now within the Sandia National Laboratory
complex], New Mexico, to benefit from the mineral springs there when
they see a brilliant light rise above a mountain to the south. As it
moves closer against the wind, they see it has a series of “electric arc
lights” around it and a “pole” or rudder that is similarly lit. The
object is in view for nearly two hours. Another lighted object appears
from the southwest and approaches the first object, but clouds prevent
any further observation. Swan sees a lighted object again on September
4, although this time it could be a star.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Evening–1:00 a.m. Residents of Warsaw,
Poland, watch a balloon over the city that casts rays of light from an
electrical apparatus. It remains stationary until 1:00 a.m., then it
takes off to the west. Other supposed balloons are seen March 22 or
earlier over Kaunas Fortress, Lithuania; and Modlin Fortress (in Nowy
Dwór Mazowiecki), Sosnowiec, Dąbrowa Górnicza, and Dąbrowice, Poland. As
they remain stationary for as long as 40 minutes, some assume they are
piloted by German spies.<br />

<a

is sailing about 16 miles south of Jeju Island, South Korea, in the
Korea Strait when the officer of the watch observes some round lights
resembling “Chinese lanterns festooned between the masts of a lofty
vessel.” They are moving slowly north and appear to be in the air
between the ship and the Hallasan volcano on Jeju. They are visible
until roughly 12:00 midnight, sometimes appearing as a mass, other times
strung out more in an irregular line. The ship’s crew observes them
again the next night as they are sailing east from Port Hamilton [now
the Korean islands of Geomundo]. This time they are visible until dawn.
Although there are some odd characteristics of this observation, the
likeliest explanation is that they are inferior mirages of distant
fishing boats, as atmospheric conditions are favorable on these
dates.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Leslie; Cumberland County, Kentucky<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Sunrise. People living near the small
hamlet of Leslie in Cumberland County, Kentucky, notice that the sun has
a peculiar color. Thousands of small discs, seemingly about the size of
a wagon wheel, appear in the sky, all of them in motion. They appear
round in shape from far away, but when closer to the ground they change
to triangles, squares, or odd forms. Their colors vary: Some are bright
red, others green or black, but when they are close to the ground they
are all a deep purple color. All are silent. The phenomenon lasts about
one hour, during which time the villagers fear it is judgment day.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 5/1894<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> Flagstaff, Arizona<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> During the opposition of Mars, the idea
that <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni%5FSchiaparelli">Schiaparelli</a>’s
canali are really irrigation canals made by intelligent beings is first
hinted at, and then adopted as the only intelligible explanation, by
American astronomer <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percival%5FLowell">Percival</a> <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percival%5FLowell">Lowell</a> in
Flagstaff, Arizona, and a few others. The visible seasonal melting of
Martian polar icecaps fuels speculation that an advanced alien race
indigenous to Mars has built the canals to transport the water to drier
equatorial regions. Newspaper and magazine articles about Martian canals
and “Martians” capture the public imagination. Lowell publishes his
views in three books: Mars (1895), Mars and Its Canals (1906), and Mars
As the Abode of Life (1908). He remains a strong proponent for the rest
of his life of the idea that the canals were built for irrigation by an
intelligent civilization.<br />

then smaller, as they watch it. When it is only 450 feet away, it stops
and hovers. Its sides seem to be folded up toward the center. Many small
black-and- white objects (birds?) are moving in its center. Suddenly the
object pivots to the east and moves away toward Ogden.<br />

experiments and puts them at Hyslop’s disposal. In August, she makes
several references to the planet Mars and Jupiter. She provides a crude
map of Jupiter’s surface, and the planet is said to be the “babies’
heaven.” At the next sitting, she draws a map of Mars, the different
zones named in the Martian language; she gives several communications
about the inhabitants and the canals. Martian revelations cease for
another 5 years until September 1900, when the communications return in
a developed state. She draws men, boats, houses, and flowers, named in
Martian and written in hieroglyphic characters. Some of the sketches (a
self-winding double clock) are very ingenious, while others (a Martian
airship) are peculiar but unconvincing.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Oak Park neighborhood of Sacramento;
Sacramento; California<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Afternoon and evening. A mystery airship
wave begins in California when residents of the Oak Park neighborhood of
Sacramento see a high-flying object moving slowly in a circle, leaving a
trail of smoke. Around 6:30 p.m., a light resembling an electric arc
lamp appears in the night sky above Sacramento. Horse trainer David Carl
notices it close to the ground and hears a voice saying, “We are too low
down here. Send her up higher.” Hundreds watch as it passes at low
altitude for 30 minutes, avoiding buildings and hills. Some people claim
to hear voices, either arguing or singing. R. L. Lowry sees four men
pushing the vessel by its wheels. The witnesses include streetcar
workers Charles Lusk and <a

<strong>Locations:</strong> San Francisco; California; Maine; Oroville;
Oakland; Havana, Cuba<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> San Francisco attorney <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/87584075/george-daniel-collins">George
D. Collins</a> announces that he represents the airship inventor, a
“very wealthy man who has been studying the subject of flying machines
for fifteen years” and who moved to California from Maine in 1889. He
claims the airship is a 150-foot metal contraption with two canvas wings
18 feet wide and shaped like a bird’s tail. It has been built in
Oroville and is now hidden in the San Francisco, California, area as the
inventor deals with technical problems. However, people in Oroville
sense a hoax, as they know of no such inventor. On November 24, Collins
complains to the San Francisco Call that another newspaper, the San
Francisco Examiner, has been printing falsehoods about him, including an
interview with another attorney, Frederick Bradley. Suspicion falls on
an itinerant dentist from Maine, Elmer H. Benjamin, who insists his only
inventions are dental fittings. A prominent citizen of Oakland, <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/95652037/george-henry-carleton">George
H. Carleton</a>, claims to know the inventor but has been sworn to
secrecy. Former California Attorney General <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William%5FH.%5FH.%5FHart">William H.
H. Hart</a> soon claims to represent the mystery inventor, who has fired
Collins for talking too much. But Hart is also blabbing prolifically,
saying that two or three airships exist (a second built in an eastern
state) and his role is to “consolidate both interests.” Hart asserts
that the airship can carry four men and 1,000 pounds of dynamite for
dropping on Havana, Cuba.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 5:30 p.m. Another mystery light moving in
a wavering fashion toward the southwest is seen in Sacramento,
California, by many people. At times it disappears, then flashes out
again with renewed brilliance. Edward Carragher, owner of the Saddle
Rock Restaurant, views the light through binoculars and is able to see a
large object supporting an arc lamp. Cigar store vendor Jacob Zemansky
watches the undulating light through a telescope until it fades into
nothingness.<br />

Twin Peaks downtown. At the top of Pierce Street hill, Cohen sees it
returning from Twin Peaks, and at 7:51 p.m. he watches it from Ashbury
Street. Airships are seen later at Oakland, Alameda, San Leandro, San
Jose, California, and Tacoma, Washington.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Many witnesses in Red Bluff, California
witnessed a light maneuvering in the sky for several minutes at 7:00
p.m. In Visalia, California several observers saw a “vessel” in the sky
moving at the speed of a train; it moved up-and-down and left-and-right,
and departed quickly to the northwest. At 11:30 p.m. two witnesses in
Tacoma, Washington watched a flying object beam vari-colored rays of
light in all directions. It then flew to the southeast and examined the
Mount Rainier mountain peak.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Evening. A mystery light flies in circular
patterns around Sacramento, California, at a rapid rate of speed.
Observers include Deputy Secretary of State George A. McCalvy, District
Attorney <a

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 11/25/1896<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> Lodi, California<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 6:00 p.m. Col. H. G. Shaw and Camille
Spooner are riding in a carriage near Lodi, California, when their horse
stops suddenly. Looking up, they see three slender beings about 7 feet
tall. Shaw walks up to them and asks them where they are from; they
reply in an odd warbling language. He notes that they are hairless and
wear no apparent clothing. The eyes are large and lustrous, and they
each seem to be carrying and egg-shaped light and a breathing apparatus
under the left arm. Shaw claims the beings try to lift him but they are
not strong enough. They then notice a 150-foot airship hovering 20 feet
above the water close to a bridge. The three beings float to the craft,
open a door in the side, and disappear inside. The ship flies quickly
out of sight. Shaw speculates that the beings are from Mars.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/40646913/harry-lytle">Harry
Lytle</a> watches an airship as it flies toward the southwest over the
Coast Ranges 3 miles north of Rumsey, California. He claims to recognize
it as an “aircycle,” kind of a winged balloon with a pedal-driven
propellor, plans for which he submitted to <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/112350040/e-w-brown">E. W.
Brown</a> of Davis, California, and which they constructed in 1893. He
calls it the Nonesuch. On an alleged test flight to Los Angeles on March
2, 1893, the device was stolen by some “hoboes.” He assumes the airship
is his stolen invention.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> A large airship flew over the small town
of Camptonville, Yuba County,California and landed nearby at 9:00 p.m.
Five men went out to investigate, and found the ship with its sole
occupant, a bearded man who appeared to be deaf and mute. Some written
communication was attempted, in response the man produced an “alphabet”
and spelled out a message saying he lived in the Montezuma Mountains
with his wife and two children. He declined to answer any further
questions, so the five men left. The craft was seen flying off the next
day.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> The mystery airship wave continues, from
Nebraska and Colorado to Texas and Ohio. Hoaxes and pranks pollute the
information pool in a major way during this era and the planet Venus and
other celestial objects undoubtedly play a major role, but many airship
reports emanate from manifestly sober, puzzled citizens, and they
continue long after the initial excitement subsides. To all appearances,
they are objects of some kind, but since newspapers rarely question
witnesses critically about details at this time, little can be deduced
from the mass of reports.<br />

Butler</a> is returning to his farm in Wolf Creek Township, Iowa, after
delivering milk in Sioux City when he notices an electric-like light on
his right about 200 feet away in a cornfield. He can see a dark object
with light coming through its windows. It appears to be a “long, narrow
car, resembling a corset box in shape,” some 30–35 feet long and 6–7
feet high. Above the car floats a cigar-shaped bag about the same length
and 8–10 feet thick. When his horses see the object, they bolt and
tumble his wagon into the ditch. By the time Butler recovers, the object
is moving briskly in a descent to the south. He watches it as it moves
out of sight.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 2:00 a.m. James Southard gets lost on his
ranch near Peru, Nebraska, looking for strayed cattle. He notices a
light on a bar in the Missouri River, and it turns out to be on a landed

him that “the craft is loaded with several tons of dynamite and is bound
for Cuba” to bomb Spanish ships.<br />

of Iowa after midnight. It was 30 to 35 feet long and 6 or 7 feet wide.
Over the rectagular shaped was a cigar-shaped bag, about the same length

<strong>Description:</strong> 8:30 p.m. Hundreds of people in Chicago,
Evanston, Niles Center, and Schermerville, Illinois, see an airship
earing multicolored lights and swinging a huge white searchlight from

object, estimated to be 400 feet in length. Using binoculars, the
outline of a structure can be seen behind the powerful light. By 9:30
p.m., the airship is last seen over South Chicago. Northwestern
University astronomer <a

<strong>Description:</strong> 11:00 p.m. A bright white light with red
and green lights on either side of it is observed by many residents of
Quincy, Illinois, flying low above the Mississippi River on the city’s
west side. At one point it is no more than 400–500 feet above the
ground. The light is attached to a metallic cigar-shaped object. Two
wings extend from the sides and on top is some kind of superstructure.
Witnesses estimate its length to be 50–100 feet. The object ascends,
moves east, then south, then west, hovers above South Park for a few
minutes, then moves north and stops again. It reverses direction and
leaves toward the south at “tremendous speed.”<br />

because it looks like it is taken by a Kodak with a small lens that
cannot achieve a panoramic view. A later report claims that McCann has
photographed a piece of canvas on which an airship is painted.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Lake Elmo, Minnesota; one mile west of Lake
Elmo, Minnesota<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 11:15 p.m. Frederick Chamberlain and O. L.
Jones are riding one mile west of Lake Elmo, Minnesota, when they notice
a figure in a clearing, walking around as if he is looking for
something. They turn off the road to investigate and hear a cracking
sound followed by a rushing noise. A moment later they notice a
gray-white object that looks like the top of a covered wagon. It has two
rows of four red or green lights. The object rises quickly at a sharp
angle to clear the treetops. They can make out no machinery or wings or
rudders or even an outline of the object. In the mud, Chamberlain finds
14 footprints, each 2 feet long, 6 inches wide, “arranged seven on each
side, and in an oblong pattern.” Adam Thielen, a nearby farmer,
independently sees a dark object with red and green lights flying
overhead about the same time.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Early morning. Marble merchant <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/28961108/david-w%5F-paul">David
W. Paul</a> is traveling with a party of workmen from Burlington to
Frankfort, Indiana. When they are at the middle fork of Wildcat Creek,
they hear a “swishing, roaring sound” and see an object with a blinding
white searchlight and smaller green and yellow lights. The object is
cigar-shaped with wings or fins. It descends to just above the treetops,
hovers there for a moment, then rises and noisily shoots off to the
southwest.<br />

Howard City, Michigan<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 4:30 a.m. Farmers see an airship land
about 3 miles northwest of Howard City, Michigan, and some go to
investigate. Inside the craft is a “strange man” dressed in heavy furs
although he seems “to have no use for them, as he was almost naked and
seemed to be suffering from the heat.” The man is 9.5 feet tall and
speaks in a musical language that, however, sounds like bellowing. One
farmer gets too close, and the giant kicks him severely enough to break
his hip.<br />

to Melvin Bannister<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Night. An airship with red, green, and
white lights lands on a farm near Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Five witnesses
see an odd-looking man in a fur coat emerge and walk to a farmhouse
belonging to <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/68901211/melvin-bannister">Melvin
Bannister</a>, whose dogs are barking fiercely. The stranger points a
lantern-like device at them and sends them running. Bannister answers
the door and converses awkwardly with the man, who is speaking an odd
language, but loans him a hammer, some nails, and a can of skim milk.
The man returns the tools, along with a strange coin. The airship takes
off with a whizzing sound.<br />

Two yellow rays of light come from its sides as it sways to and fro in
the air. He calls R. J. (or R. T.) and J. L. Tretheway, who live in the
apartment below his, and they also glimpse the object, which is in sight
for 20 minutes.<br />

has landed. But when the pursuers get within 2,100 feet of the airship,
it spreads out four massive wings and ascends again. The two occupants
have extremely long beards and make desperate efforts to conceal
themselves. They toss two enormous boulders “of unknown composition” out
of the airship.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Springfield, Missouri; east of Springfield,
Missouri<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> While wandering in the hills east of
Springfield, Missouri, <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/129777746/w%5F-h%5F-hopkins">W.
H. Hopkins</a>, a traveling insurance agent, spots a landed airship in a
clearing. Next to it is a nude female with hair down to her waist. As
she picks flowers, she speaks in an unknown language with a musical
voice and fans herself as if the day is hot. In the shade cast by the
craft lies a naked man with shoulder-length hair and a long beard. After
a few minutes, Hopkins approaches the woman, who shrieks and runs toward
the man. Hopkins speaks soothingly and the two aeronauts relax. Hopkins
asks where they come from, and they point upward, pronouncing a word
that sounds like “Mars.” The two examine Hopkins’s clothing, hair, and
watch with great curiosity. They show him the interior of the ship but
take off shortly afterward, “laughing and waving their hands.”<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Aurora, Texas; Fort Worth; Aurora
Cemetery<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 6:00 a.m. An airship is said to collide
with the tower of Judge <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/35443870/james-spencer-proctor">James
Spencer Proctor</a>’s windmill in Aurora, Texas, causing it to explode
and strew debris over several acres. The pilot (reportedly “not of this
world,” or a “Martian” according to an alleged Army Signal Service
officer named <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/17165126/thomas-jefferson-weems">Thomas
Jefferson Weems</a> from nearby Fort Worth), does not survive the crash
and is <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/206580789/alien-unknown">buried</a> “with
Christian rites” at the Aurora Cemetery. Wreckage from the crash site is
either dumped into a nearby well located under the damaged windmill or
ends up with the alien in the grave. Adding to the mystery is the story
of <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/43968438/brawley-hoyle-oates">Brawley
Oates,</a> who purchases Judge Proctor’s property around 1935. Oates
cleans out the debris from the well in order to use it as a water
source, but later develops an extremely severe case of rheumatoid
arthritis, which he claims is the result of contaminated water from the
wreckage dumped into the well. As a result, Oates seals up the well with
a concrete slab and places an outbuilding on the spot in 1945. The
entire yarn is widely regarded as a hoax, although Proctor’s windmill
apparently did exist.<br />

Louisiana, when he sees an airship moving toward him about half a mile
distant. It makes a loud whistling noise, scaring his horses and causing
him to be thrown from the buggy. As the horses flee, the ship lands, a
rope comes down, and two men rush over to apologize. They are the owner
Mr. Wilson (formerly of Fort Worth, Texas) and his friend Scott Warren.
The man is taken into the airship and introduced to two others, a
Mr. Waters and a Hispanic man. Wilson tells him the airship is sustained
by a gas, and that several of them have been built.<br />

W. Baylor</a> of Uvalde, Texas, sees a bright light and hears strange

<strong>Description:</strong> Capt. James Hooton was hunting in the
vicinity of Homan, Arkansas when he heard the noise of a steam engine
and found an object in a clearing. It looked like a cylinder with
pointed ends, lateral wheels, and had a horizontal blade overhead.
Hooton spoke with a man who wore dark glasses and walked behind the
craft. There were three or four occupants in total. The witness was told
this was indeed “The Airship” and that it used compressed air for
propulsion. Capt. Hooton saw the wheels spin when the craft rose and
flew away.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Lancaster; Baltimore, Ohio<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 8:00 p.m. A man is riding his horse
between Lancaster and Baltimore, Ohio, when something scares his horse.
He sees an object with two brilliant white lights on either end landing
in a nearby field. He tethers his horse and approaches the object, which
seems as large as a house. Inside he can see two men conversing, so he
walks up to ask them questions. One of the aeronauts seems to be
Japanese and the other speaks English with a British accent. The craft
is called the Aeribarque, and they are on a test flight. The aeronaut
says that they often land in remote areas and come to nearby towns for
supplies or mechanical parts, posing either as tourists or “harmless
cranks trying to invent perpetual motion.” After giving the witness a
demonstration of the electrical lighting system, they take off into the
sky.<br />

circles a few times then lands in a nearby pasture. Barclay goes down to
investigate with his Winchester rifle, but the lights go out as he gets

asks him to put his rifle down. He identifies himself as “Smith” and
gives Barclay $10 to purchase lubricating oil, two chisels, and
bluestone. When Barclay returns with the materials, the aeronaut will
only say he is from “anywhere,” adding that “we will be in Greece
tomorrow.”<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 5/6/1897<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> Hot Springs, Arkansas<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Two policemen, Sumpter and McLenore, were
riding northwest of Hot Springs when they saw a bright light in the sky.
About 7 km farther they saw the light again coming down to the ground.
One km farther the horses refused to walk. Two men were seen carrying
lights. The lawmen took their rifles, called the strangers, and were
told that they crossed the country with a flying craft. The silhouette
of the machine, about 2O m long, could be seen in the clearing. There
was a woman with an umbrella nearby. It was raining, and the younger of
the men was filling a large container with water. The elder man had a
beard and suggested that the policemen fly with them “to a place where
it does not rain.” The same witness went back through the same spot 40
min later and found nothing.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 5/6/1897<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Hot Springs, Arkansas; five miles west of
Hot Springs, Arkansas; Nashville, Tennessee<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> During a rainstorm five miles west of Hot
Springs, Arkansas, Deputy Sheriff John McLemore and Constable John J.
Sumpter Jr. see a light in the sky descend behind a hill one half-mile
away. After seeing two persons carrying lights, they draw their rifles
and demand to know who is there. A man with a long, dark beard tells
them that he and two others are traveling around the country in an
airship and hope to end up in Nashville, Tennessee. He invites the
officers to take a ride and transport them to somewhere dry, but they
tell him they prefer to get wet. They return to the spot 40 minutes
later and the airship is gone.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 9:00 p.m. A brilliant object passes over
Italy, Greenville, Garland, and Blossom, Texas. Initially moving in an
easterly direction, it seems to change course and shoot upwards then
burst, throwing out three distinct objects, one red, the other white,
and the last one blue. The red and blue lights die out, but the white
one continue a few seconds before it too bursts, emitting a shower of
sparks. Blossom merchant Dick Moore says the light is so glaring that he
thinks his “house was falling on him.” About 2.5 miles north of Sherman,
12-year-old George Campbell is riding with his father when they see the
fireball descending, apparently coming as close as 3 feet above the
ground before moving upward; they can hear a buzzing noise and think the
object is about 10 feet in diameter.<br />

fortune. Peveto becomes terrified, and the entity flees through a closed
door. The entity visits her again on other nights, again talking about
treasure in the basement. They continue until February 1899 when they
occur nightly. At one point the ghost claims to have been murdered years
ago in Fort Washita and shows her strangle marks around her neck.
Poltergeist phenomena (tables moving) occur and a male ghost also talks
to her. Peveto becomes ill and apparently moves away from the

<strong>Description:</strong> Serbian-American inventor <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola%5FTesla">Nikola Tesla</a> is
working in his laboratory near Colorado Springs, Colorado, when he
observes unusual signals from his receiver that he speculates are
communications from another planet. He mentions them in a letter to a
reporter in December 1899 and to the Red Cross Society in December 1900.
Reporters treat it as a sensational story and jump to the conclusion
Tesla is hearing signals from Mars. In 1901, Tesla writes that it has
not been immediately apparent to him that he is hearing “intelligently
controlled signals” and that the signals could have come from Mars,
Venus, or other planets. It is possible that he is intercepting <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guglielmo%5FMarconi">Guglielmo
Marconi</a>’s European experiments in July 1899—Marconi may have
transmitted the letter S (dot dot dot) in a naval demonstration, the
same three impulses that Tesla hinted at hearing in Colorado—or signals
from another experimenter in wireless transmission. <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian%5FDunning%5F%28author%29">Brian
Dunning</a> of the Skeptoid podcast attributes Tesla’s signals to
pulsars, which are not identified until 1968.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Midnight. Physician Malcom McKinnon is
driving home to Fosston, Minnesota, in his carriage when a dazzling ball
of white light crosses the road ahead about one-quarter of a mile away,
lighting up the road like daylight. It resembles an electric arc lamp
and moves slowly from north to southeast about 3 feet above the ground,
throwing the field furrows into visible relief. As it passes closer,
McKinnon sees that it is clearly “disk shaped, about the size of an
umbrella.” It is in sight for 30 minutes.<br />

translates them into French, popularizing automatic writing.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Day. A 10-year-old boy is walking home to
Bournbrook, West Midlands, England, through a path behind his family’s
garden when he comes upon a large box-shaped device with a small,
centrally placed turret. The only opening is a door, through which two
small men (less than 4 feet tall) in military uniforms (but no
insignia), each wearing an odd-looking cap with a wire sticking up on
both sides, step out. One stays by the door, but the other walks toward
the boy and waves him away. The beings go back in the craft, a bright
flash surrounds it, and it shoots into the air with a whooshing
sound.<br />

color a rather bright red.” As they approach the ship they appear to
soar, passing above the broken clouds. After rising above the clouds,
they appear to “be moving directly away from the earth. The largest had
an apparent area of about six suns. It was egg-shaped, the larger end
forward. The second was about twice the size of the sun, and the third,
about the size of the sun. Their near approach to the surface appeared
to be most remarkable.” The objects are in sight for over two minutes by
three people. <a

(90CDC3B7)</h3>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 2/28/1904<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> At 35.97 N 128.60 W in the Pacific Ocean
between Honolulu and San Francisco at 6:10 a.m., three large dull red
bodies flew in from the northwest over the U.S.S. Navy ship Supply. The
largest one was egg or pear shaped, and six times the apparent size of
the sun. The objects flew in an eschelon formation, flying very fast
below the clouds. They gained altitude, turned, and travelled off to the
west-northwest while climbing above broken clouds. There were at least
three sailors as witnesses, including the main witness named Schofield.
The duration of the event was more than two minutes.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 6/1904<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> Rolling Prairie, Indiana<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 10:00 p.m. When Tony Darby goes outside to
the well on his farm 5 miles north of Rolling Prairie, Indiana, he
notices two round, orange-colored, silent objects hovering 5–6 feet from
the ground near the barn. He estimates they are the size of wagon
wheels. One of the objects is 2 feet behind and to the left of the
other. Running back to the house, he calls for his mother and brother,
and all three walk toward the objects, which move away slightly then
stop when the witnesses stop. Soon the objects move steadily away to the
northeast, still maintaining their relative positions, at about the
speed of a man walking. They pause briefly in a small hollow, then
continue over a small hill and out of sight.<br />

Oliver</a>’s book A Dweller on Two Planets is published posthumously. It
is a narrative channeled by Oliver in Yreka, California, through
automatic writing and mental dictations by a spirit calling itself
Phylos the Tibetan, an Atlantean who reveals his story from 1883 to
1886. The book deals with deep esoteric subjects including karma and
reincarnation and describes Phylos’s final incarnation in 19th century
America where his Atlantean karma plays itself out. In that incarnation
(as Walter Pierson, gold miner and occult student of the Theo-Christic
Adepts) he travels to Venus in an astral body while his physical form
remains at a temple inside Mount Shasta, California.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 1:30 a.m. Farmer John A. Jackson is
driving a herd of hogs from Silsbee (a former settlement 6 miles
southwest of El Centro) to Imperial, California, when a bright light
flashes on him from above. He is momentarily blinded, and the hogs start
running away. Jackson sees it is a searchlight from an airship about 100
feet long and propelled by wings that move up and down. It has smaller
lights along the sides. Jackson wakes up W. E. Wilsie, who lives nearby,
and they watch it disappear to the northeast. Another farmer, A. J.
Morey, also glimpses the airship.<br />

well in Mitchell, South Dakota. As he approaches it, a door rolls back
and he is welcomed inside by two human-like occupants who are sitting
inside on camp stools. They converse with him fluently, but he does not
know where they come from. He sees a lever that apparently can cut off
the earth’s “magnetism,” allowing the object to rise. The occupants take
water from the farm’s horse trough to be “used in making

<strong>Locations:</strong> Indianapolis, Indiana; Irvington<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Late afternoon. Hundreds of people in
Indianapolis, Indiana, see a “cigar-shaped object” like an airship pass
over the city. It is seen first in Irvington and then floats over the
southern side of the business district where it is distinctly seen from
downtown. Some estimate it to be 2,000 feet in the air; the watchman at
the courthouse tower looks at it through binoculars but cannot see any
detail. It disappears to the west.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Dusk. Roy Russell and four other
cotton-pickers are taking a brief respite from work 10 miles southeast
of Anadarko, Oklahoma, when they see a fiery object shaped like a
stovepipe. From an initial altitude of 60 feet, the object sinks down,
comes toward them, and passes within 16 feet at eye level. Then it seems
to flatten out and just blacks out. Another similar object follows and
then several others. Russell watches them for 20 minutes.<br />

href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban%5FA.%5FWoodbury">Urban
A.</a> <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban%5FA.%5FWoodbury">Woodbury</a> at
the corner of Church and College streets in Burlington, Vermont, when
they hear a loud explosion and see a torpedo-shaped object about 6 feet
long and 8 inches in diameter suspended in the air about 300 feet away.
It is dark, with several tongues of flame issuing from it at various
points, as if its covering is ruptured. It slowly begins to move to the
southeast. The explosion has either knocked down or stunned a horse in
College Street. A strong downpour of rain ensues shortly afterward.
Although described as a “possible case of ball lightning,” the object
appears more likely to have been an exploded balloon that someone has
attached fireworks to in preparation for a Fourth of July
celebration.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Burlington, Vermont. The Bishop John
Michaud was standing on a Burlington street corner around 2 in the
afternoon, engaged in a conversation with Ex-Governor Woodbury and
Mr. A.A. Buell, when without warning they were startled by what sounded
like a nearby explosion. Looking eastward along College Street they
observed a torpedo-shaped object, some 300 feet away, hovering in the
air about 50 feet over the tops of the buildings. It was estimated to be
about 6 feet long and 8 inches in diameter. It was dark, with red flames
being emitted from spots on the surface resembling unburnished copper.
The object began to move slowly toward the south. As it moved the
surface seemed to be rupturing in places, and through these ruptures
came the intense red flames.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 6/30/1908<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Podkamennaya Tunguska River in Yeniseysk
Governorate [now Krasnoyarsk Krai], Russia; Lake Baikal; Eastern
Siberian taiga<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 7:14 a.m. A large explosion takes place
near the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in Yeniseysk Governorate [now
Krasnoyarsk Krai], Russia. Evenki natives and Russian settlers in the
hills northwest of Lake Baikal observe a column of bluish light, nearly
as bright as the sun, moving across the sky. About 10 minutes later,
there is a flash and a sound similar to artillery fire. Eyewitnesses
closer to the explosion report that the source of the sound moves from
the east to the north of them. The sounds are accompanied by a shock
wave that knocks people off their feet and breaks windows hundreds of
kilometers away. The explosion over the sparsely populated eastern
Siberian taiga flattens 770 square miles of forest and possibly causes
up to three human casualties. The event is generally attributed to the
air burst of a meteoroid. It is classified as an impact event, even
though no impact crater has been found. The object disintegrates at an
altitude of 3–6 miles rather than hitting the surface of the Earth. The
area is so remote that the site is not inspected until 1927 by a team
led by Russian mineralogist <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonid%5FKulik">Leonid Kulik</a>,
who finds a zone about 5 miles across where trees are scorched and
devoid of branches but still standing upright. More exotic explanations
for the event include a black hole impact, antimatter, a UFO crash (as
recently as 2004 by Russian ufologist Yuri Labvin), a nuclear explosion,
and an inadvertent experiment by <a

(8130FD80)</h3>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 6/30/1908<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> On this morning at 7:17 a.m. the Tunguska,
Russia explosion occurred in a remote region of the Siberian taiga,
which brightened the pre-dawn sky as far away as London and had the
equivalent energy of a 15 to 40-megaton nuclear explosion. Detailed
scientific analysis shows that the object that caused the devastation
exploded above an altitude of three miles and left an area of
destruction for more than 850 square miles, in a heart-shaped pattern.
It is widely thought to have been either an asteroid or comet impact,
but it has sometimes been interpreted as the crash or mid-air explosion
of an alien spaceship. Several anomalies still remain to be explained if
the explosion was caused by a celestial body entering Earth’s
atmosphere. For example, why was radioactive Cesium 137 found in 1908
tree rings from the area.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Forestville neighborhood of Bristol,
Connecticut; Lake Compounce; Massachusetts<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> About 6:00 p.m. A “large airship sailing
very high” is seen passing from north to south over the Forestville
neighborhood of Bristol, Connecticut. It seems to be an elongated gas
bag under which a framework with a propeller is suspended. After
“maneuvering” a while, it stops and circles over Lake Compounce then
changes course toward the southwest. An East Bristol man named Wilson
later claims it was a pig-shaped balloon he had sent up for his
daughter’s birthday party, but “balloon” sightings continue in
Massachusetts through December.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Skipper J. H. Stockman of the smack Superb
is fishing in the North Sea 35 miles out of Lowestoft, Suffolk, England,
when he sees a large “star” rise out of the water and approach his ship.
He signals it with a red flare, and to his surprise he is immediately
answered with a red flare above him. He then shows a white flare and
receives a blue flare in response. The object appears sausage-shaped and
carries a single light. It disappears in the direction of the
Netherlands.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 5/18/1909<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Senghenydd; Cardiff, South Wales; Caerphilly
Mountain<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 11:00 p.m. Charles Lethbridge (part-time
dock worker and Punch-and-Judy showman) is traveling on a “spring cart”
from Senghenydd on his way home to Cardiff, South Wales. At the summit
of Caerphilly Mountain he sees a long, tube-shaped object sitting on the
grass by the roadside, with two men busily working on something. They
are wearing heavy fur coats and fur caps that fit tightly over the
heads. Lethbridge proceeds to about 60 feet of them when they notice him
and start jumping up and jabbering in a foreign language. They quickly
pick up something from the ground, then jump into a little carriage
suspended from the object (with wheels at the bottom), which rises into
the air in a zig-zag fashion. When it clears the telegraph wires, two
electric lights shine out and the craft heads toward the southeast.
Lethbridge returns to the site with a newspaper reporter and they find
signs of trampling in the grass for about 45 feet. They also pick up a
small red French military label, letterhead from a London stockbroker,
many newspaper clippings with references to airships or the German army,
and a tin box with paste for polishing metal.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 1:15 a.m. Robert Westlake, railroad
signalman at King’s Junction in the Queen Alexandra Dock at Cardiff,
Wales, sees a cigar-shaped object flying swiftly at perhaps 2,600 feet
and making a whizzing noise. It has two lights and is moving eastward.
Some dock workers who are loading the SS Arndale also see the object for
“a minute or two.” It passes over the Bristol Channel towards
Weston-super-Mare. Aeronaut <a

Spencer</a> says that he recently sold several of his “man-lifting”
25-foot-long model airships to advertising firms in the UK, one of them
in Cardiff.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> In Greenvale, New Zealand a farmhand saw
an “airship” about 150-feet long at dawn. It had a light at each end,
and made a strange whirring noise that frightened the horses. A flying
fuselage-shaped airship flew over Dunedin, New Zealand later that
morning. A brilliant light shone from atop a mast antenna. That
afternoon a dark, fat, cigar-shaped object flew over the hills around
Fairfax, New Zealand. It had a box-shaped cabin on the bottom, center,
and it flew on towards the west.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> During the opposition of Mars, astronomer
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.%5FM.%5FAntoniadi">Eugène
Antoniadi</a> uses the 83cm aperture telescope at Meudon Observatory in
Paris, France, to observe Mars. He sees no canals. The outstanding
photos of Mars taken at the new Baillaud dome at the Pic du Midi
Observatory in the French Pyrenees also bring formal discredit to the
Martian canal theory, and the notion of canals begins to fall out of
favor. Around this time, spectroscopic analysis also begins to show that
no water is present in the Martian atmosphere.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Evening. A balloon “supposed to be from
Chicago” passes over Edinburgh, Indiana. Its anchor somehow gets
entangled in high-tension wires of the traction station for the
Indianapolis, Columbus, and Southern interurban rail. It moves south to
Taylorsville a few minutes later, and it is so low to the ground that
the occupants are able to talk to passersby.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 12/22/1909<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Worcester, Massachusetts; Marlboro; Boston;
New York City<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 6:30 p.m. Many residents of Worcester,
Massachusetts, see a “brilliant ray” emitted by a large black object
1,000 feet high in the southwestern sky. After circling over the town,
the object heads to the west, where it is seen over Marlboro. It returns
to Worcester between 7:00 and 7:30 p.m., flying at low altitude and
sporting a searchlight. One policeman thinks he sees enormous wings;
others detect one or two figures inside. The airship is attributed to a
Worcester businessman named <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallace%5FTillinghast">Wallace E.
Tillinghast,</a> who has told the Boston Herald on December 12 that he
has invented a heavier-than-air monoplane and has made more than 100
test flights at night to Boston and New York City. But Tillinghast never
offers his aircraft for public viewing, and people gradually realize it
is a hoax.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Morning. Lawrence J. Crone is playing on a
baseball field in the Violetville neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland,
when he sees a metallic, brown, blimplike object, more than 100 feet
long, hovering above a pine tree 200 feet away. It has a row of colored,
rectangular windows. Through one he can see as many as 20 strange
entities taking turns looking at him. Their heads are pointed, and they
are dressed in light-colored garments with a fur-like texture. Each has
small dots for eyes and a slit for a mouth. Two other young men also see
the object and are badly frightened.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Night. Carl H. Darden is riding near
Vernal, Utah, when he notices that his horse is acting strangely. He
dismounts and walks the horse into a clearing, where he sees a row of
lights a few feet above the ground. They are attached to a huge,
hovering disc. After watching it a while, he steps toward it, and it
makes a buzzing sound as if in warning. As he advances, it rises slowly
into the sky until it reaches an altitude of several hundred feet, when
it suddenly streaks off to the north.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 5:30 a.m. Two objects flying at a great
altitude are seen over East Providence, Rhode Island, by newspaper
workers and others up early. They are too distant to be recognized as
dirigibles or balloons, but they resemble luminous pumpkins. One is far
ahead of the other, but both are “cutting pigeon wings, looping aerial
loops, circling and diving like birds and generally doing skylark
stunts.”<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 2/9/1913<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Canada; northeastern United States; Bermuda;
Brazil; Michigan; New York; Pennsylvania; Ontario; Toronto<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 9:00 p.m. An earth-grazing meteor
procession is seen from locations across Canada, the northeastern United
States, and Bermuda, and from many ships at sea, including eight off
Brazil, giving a total recorded ground track of over 7,000 miles. The
meteors are particularly unusual in that there is no apparent radiant—no
point in the sky from which the meteors appear to originate. Witnesses
are surprised to see a procession of between 40 and 60 bright,
slow-moving fireballs moving from horizon to horizon in a practically
identical path. Individual fireballs are visible for at least 30 to 40
seconds, and the entire procession takes some 5 minutes to cross the
sky. Subsequent observers also note a large, white, tailless body
bringing up the rear, but the various bodies making up the procession
continue to disintegrate and travel at different rates throughout their
course, so that by the time observations are made in Bermuda, the
leading bodies are described as “like large arc lights in appearance,
slightly violet in colour,” followed closely by yellow and red
fragments. Research carried out in the 1950s by <a
href="https://rr0.org/people/m/MebaneAlexander/">Alexander D.
Mebane</a> uncovers a handful of reports from newspaper archives in the
northern United States. At Escanaba, Michigan, the Press states the “end
of the world was apprehended by many” as numerous meteors travel across
the northern horizon. In Batavia, New York, a few observers see the
meteors and many people hear a thundering noise, while other reports are
made in Nunda and Dansville, New York (where several residents again
think the world is ending) and Osceola, Pennsylvania. The observations
are analyzed in detail later in 1913 by the astronomer <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarence%5FChant">Clarence
Chant,</a> leading him to conclude that as all accounts are positioned
along a great circle arc, the source is a small, short-lived natural
satellite of the Earth. One curious feature of the reports, highlighted
by Mebane, is that several appear to indicate a second meteor procession
on the same course around 5 hours later, although the Earth’s rotation
means that there is no obvious mechanism to explain this. One observer,
A. W. Brown from Thamesville, Ontario, reports seeing both the initial
meteor procession and a second one on the same course at 2:20 a.m. the
next day. Chant’s original report also refers to a series of three
groups of “dark objects” that pass on the same course as the previous
meteors from west to east over Toronto on the afternoon of February 10,
which he suggests are “something of a meteoric nature.”<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 3:00 p.m. Hans M. Schnitzler, 7, is
sitting in his front yard in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, when he hears a
musical humming sound and sees a 30-foot domed object about 25 feet away
hovering about 10 feet above the ground across the street in front of a
church. An opening appears and eight small entities emerge and begin
singing a melody over and over again. Then they return inside. The
object rises slowly and disappears behind the church. He remembers the
melody and plays it on his harmonica years later.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> William J. Kiehl, 18, is with seven others
in a small cove along the shore of Georgian Bay, Ontario. They see a
strange machine on the surface of the lake. Two little men wearing
square masks and purple-green coveralls are working with a hose leading
from the water to inside the UFO. Three other figures, dressed in khaki,
are adjusting some rods that are pulsating with various colors. The
beings notice the group watching them and run into the machine, which
starts vibrating with colors. It starts to ascend, but one being has not
made it inside and is hanging on. After hovering 12 feet in the air to
balance itself, it rapidly accelerates upward. A likely hoax.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Flight Commander C. E. Rathbone of the
Felixstowe Naval Air Station, Suffolk, England returned from an early
morning patrol in his seaplane to make perhaps the first report of a UFO
sighting by a military officer. He reported that, “At 5:35 a.m. whilst
on patrol, I sighted an airship steering south-southeast with a
silver-colored envelope on the horizon, while flying at 1,300 feet, 27
miles south of Orfordness.”<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 9/9/1914<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> West Norwood, south London, England;
Ashstead, Surrey<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Mid-day. Amateur astronomer <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William%5FHerbert%5FSteavenson">William
Herbert Steavenson</a> points his 3-inch refracting telescope in West
Norwood, south London, England, at the planet Mercury, then about 8°
distant from the Sun, when a round, luminous object the apparent size of
the planet, but brighter, speeds across his field, passing centrally
from south to north in about 3 seconds. A few seconds later, another
appears going in the same direction. More follow, and the display
continues until at least 3:00 p.m. when the sky becomes overcast. He
watches several hundred bodies pass; about half are perfectly round and
the rest are dumbbell shaped. All the objects are well defined and
intrinsically brighter than Venus. The prevailing color is yellowish
white. Steavenson sends a telegram to the Rev. <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T.%5FE.%5FR.%5FPhillips">T. E. R.
Phillips</a> at Ashstead, Surrey, but the sky is now overcast and he
cannot confirm the observation. Steavensen thinks high-altitude seeds
are the most likely explanation.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 9:15 p.m. The mayor and three city
constables of Brockville, Ontario, see the lights of unknown aircraft
crossing the St. Lawrence River heading for Ottawa. They can hear the
sound of motors. A second flying machine is heard as it crosses the
river from the direction of Morristown, New York. Three balls of fire
drop from it into the river. Two more objects pass from the east and
west ends of Brockville. The mayor, who has seen one of the planes flash
a searchlight beam that lights up a city block, tells the police chief
to alert the mayor and police chief in Ottawa. At 9:30 p.m., the mayor
of Gananoque, Ontario, reports that two invisible aircraft are heard
flying over his town. Prime Minister <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert%5FBorden">Robert
Borden</a> hears about the reports and orders the lights on Parliament
Hill to be turned off at 11:15 p.m. The entire city follows suit 5
minutes later. The airplanes do not reappear, but Ottawa is placed on
high alert. Later, Brockville police find two paper balloons that might
explain the sightings.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 9/4/1915<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> Dartmoor, Devon, England<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 9:30 p.m. Two British Naval Intelligence
officers, Lt. Col. <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William%5FPrice%5FDrury">William
Price Drury</a> and Lt. C. Brownlow, on Dartmoor, Devon, England, watch
a “bright white light, considerably larger in appearance than a planet”
ascend steadily from a meadow to a height of 50–60 feet. It then swings
300 feet or so to the left and suddenly vanishes. The officers have been
investigating reports of similar lights seen in the region during the
summer. In December, GHQ Home Forces issues a 16-page confidential
report on the investigation and concludes there is “no evidence on which
to base a suspicion that this class of enemy activity ever existed” and
that 89% of the reports are explained. Some “moving lights in the air”
are attributed to marsh gas.<br />

Maxwell</a> is cruising his B.E.2c biplane at 10,000 feet near Romford,
Essex, England, patrolling for German Zeppelins. He sees an “artificial
light” to the north. He follows it northeast for 20 minutes, but it
moves higher and he loses it in the clouds. At the same time, Royal
Flying Corps pilot Sub-Lieut. J. Eric Morgan, also flying a B.E.2c at
5,000 feet near Rochford, Essex, and looking for Zeppelins, sees an
object about 100 feet away with a row of windows “like a railway
carriage with the blinds drawn.” He tries to close on it, but his engine
is malfunctioning. When he fires his pistol at it, the lights rise and
rapidly disappear. Morgan is forced to make a crash landing.<br />

(02944276)</h3>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 10/13/1917<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> Cova da Iria, Portugal<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> After some newspapers report that the
Virgin Mary has promised a miracle for the last of her apparitions, a
huge crowd, possibly between 30,000 and 100,000, including reporters and
photographers, gathers at Cova da Iria, Portugal. What happens then
becomes known as the “Miracle of the Sun.” Various claims are made as to
what really happened. The three children report seeing a panorama of
visions during the event, including those of Jesus, Our Lady of Sorrows,
Our Lady of Mount Carmel, and Saint Joseph blessing the people. Father
John de Marchi, an Italian Catholic priest and researcher who wrote
several books on the subject, included descriptions by witnesses who
believe they observed a miracle created by Mary, the mother of Jesus.
After a period of rain, the dark clouds break and the Sun appears as an
opaque, spinning disc in the sky. It appears significantly duller than
normal and casts multicolored lights across the landscape, the people,
and the surrounding clouds. The Sun then seems to careen towards the
earth before zigzagging back to its normal position. Witnesses report
that their previously wet clothes become “suddenly and completely dry,
as well as the wet and muddy ground that had been previously soaked
because of the rain that had been falling.” Not all witnesses report
seeing the Sun “dance.” Some people only see the radiant colors, and
others, including some believers, see nothing at all. The only known
picture of the Sun taken during the event does not show anything
unusual. No unusual solar phenomena are observed by scientists. Some
theologians, scientists, and skeptics have offered alternative
explanations that include psychological suggestibility of the witnesses,
temporary retinal distortion caused by staring at the intense light of
the Sun, a sundog, and optical effects caused by natural meteorological
phenomena. The Miracle of the Sun is interpreted by others as a UFO
event. Investigator <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe%5FNickell">Joe
Nickell</a> thinks that the effects are “a combination of factors,
including optical effects and meteorological phenomena, such as the sun
being seen through thin clouds, causing it to appear as a silver disc.
Other possibilities include an alteration in the density of the passing
clouds, causing the sun’s image to alternately brighten and dim and so
seem to advance and recede, and dust or moisture droplets in the
atmosphere refracting the sunlight and thus imparting a variety of
colors.”<br />

(F3A9AB4E)</h3>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 10/13/1917<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Approximately 70,000 people crowded the
fields surrounding the Cova da Iria, a grotto in Fatima, Portugal to
witness a promised miracle. Miraculous events and apparitions of the
Blessed Virgin Mary had been occurring monthly on the 13th of every
month since three children–Lucia, Jesus and Marto– had first met a
mysterious lady in blue there in May. Not many of those in the crowd,
even those close to the three children, were able to witness the
apparition of the Lady on this day, but it is reported that everyone
present saw “something.” The most common description was of a “gyrating
sun” that became a silver disc, and emitted bright rainbow shafts of
light, changing colors in succession from red to violet to blue to
yellow. The flat silver disc plunged downward toward earth in a zigzag
fashion. Catholics present interpreted these events as a sign from God,
and the religious event was later sanctioned as a miracle by the Roman
Catholic Church. The prophesies revealed that day have been kept secret
by the Vatican, but reportedly involve the assassination of “the last
Pope.”<br />

<strong>Location:</strong> Shuttlewood, Derbyshire, England<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> After 10:00 p.m. A brilliant light the
size of a tennis ball appears in a garden at Shuttlewood, Derbyshire,
England. When the witness approaches it, it moves away at a leisurely
pace and passes through wire netting. It follows the top of a hedge,
turns right, and ascends until it finds a break in the high branches of
a tree, where it hovers for 3 minutes before flying on. The witness then
notices his neighbor’s farm is illuminated with bright white light.
Several minutes later, the sphere returns to the garden, hovers another
3 minutes, then approaches the witness. As it does so, it turns from
white to orange. It moves away, stops above a neighbor’s garden, travels
along a hedge, traverses a field, and circles a row of houses before
soaring into the sky and disappearing. The light is seen for 40
minutes.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 7/1919<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> Webster City, Iowa<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 11:00 a.m. A young brother and sister who
live on a farm near Webster City, Iowa, hear a strange chirping sound
while out playing. They turn and see a brown-green object under a tree
near a creek 75 feet from them. They notice a similarly colored figure
standing in a door that has been lowered down. It makes strange guttural
sounds. They see another figure running toward the stream leading to a
pond. This smaller one dips up some water into a can. The larger figure
seems to be hurrying the smaller figure back into the object. The door
slams shut with a metallic sound, and the vehicle rises up quickly with
its three legs still out and goes over a hill. The soil where the object
had been is covered with round spots that resemble cane marks.<br />

<strong>Location:</strong> east of Barron, Wisconsin<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 10:00 p.m. Harry Anderson, 13 (or 16), is
out riding with his family and two friends when their car runs out of
oil east of Barron, Wisconsin. A passing farmer offers to give them some
oil, and Harry accompanies him 2 miles away to his farmhouse. Harry
walks back to the car alone and sees 20 little men walking in single
file towards him. Their heads are bald, and the figures are dressed in
leather “knee pants” held up by suspenders. They are mumbling but pay no
attention to him. Terrified, he continues and does not look back.<br />

<strong>Location:</strong> County Donegal, Ireland<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> County Donegal, Ireland: Irish Republic
Army man, Lawrence Bradley, wrote to the editor of “Watfordand
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.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 8/22/1924<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> US; Washington, D.C.; Amherst College; US
Naval Observatory; Washington<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Mars enters an opposition closer to Earth
than at any time in the century before. In the US, a National Radio
Silence Day is promoted during a 36-hour period in August 21–23, with
all radios quiet for 5 minutes on the hour, every hour, just in case the
Martians take the opportunity to communicate with Earth. At the US Naval
Observatory in Washington, D.C., an SE-950 radio receiver is lifted 1.9
miles above the ground in a dirigible tuned to a wavelength between 8
and 9 kilometers, using a “radio photo message continuous transmission
machine” recently invented by Amherst College and <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles%5FFrancis%5FJenkins">Charles
Francis Jenkins</a> of Washington. The program is led by retired
astronomer <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David%5FPeck%5FTodd">David Peck
Todd</a> with the military assistance of Chief of Naval Operations Adm.
<a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward%5FWalter%5FEberle">Edward</a> <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward%5FWalter%5FEberle">Walter
Eberle</a><a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward%5FWalter%5FEberle">,</a> with
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William%5FF.%5FFriedman">William
F. Friedman</a> (US Army chief cryptographer), assigned to translate any
potential Martian messages. The device records radio signals on
chemically treated film. One signal consists of a “fairly regular
arrangement of dots and dashes along one side” and on the other “at
almost evenly spaced intervals … curiously jumped groups each taking the
forms of a crudely drawn human face.” Todd tells a reporter, “It may not
be a message from Mars, but if it isn’t from Mars, where is it from?”
Astronomer <a
href="https://siarchives.si.edu/collections/siris%5Fsic%5F14002">Frederick
E. Fowle</a> of the Smithsonian thinks they are “disturbances introduced
by solar or terrestrial causes not yet understood.” Other scientists
suggest the images are caused by static discharge from a passing trolley
car, malfunctioning radio equipment, or the natural symphonic radio
waves produced by Jupiter.<br />

(B4B58D47)</h3>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 10/27/1926<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> London, England<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Attorney and “telepathist” Hugh Mansfield
Robinson, who has been in contact with a female Martian entity named
Oomaruru since 1918, convinces the central radio office in London,
England, to send out a message, “MMM opesti nipitia secomba” over the
airwaves. He intends for it to be picked up by Martian wireless. The
next day, he claims that Oomaruru telepathically told him that only the
first three letters had been received. Robinson describes the Martians
as 7–8 feet tall with large ears, a wealth of black hair, and almond
eyes. Over the years he continues receiving messages from Oomaruru while
in a trance and attempting to send signals to Mars. Psychic investigator
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nandor%5FFodor">Nandor Fodor</a>,
who has attended some of Robinson’s séances, calls him “as slippery as a
human eel.”<br />

<strong>Location:</strong> Bolton, Lancashire, England<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Early evening. Playing hide-and-seek with
friends in Bolton, Lancashire, England, Henry Thomas slips into a
backyard and finds three figures dressed in odd suits made of silvery
gray rubber tubes. They are looking into a window in the back of a
house. A tube extends from their helmets into a tank on each figure’s
back. They turn to look at him and he sees their heads are pale and
“shaped like lightbulbs” and they have slits for mouths. Thomas runs
away.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> At 9:30 in the morning while climbing in
the Humbolt Range of the Altai Mountains in Mongolia, explorer Nicholas
Roerich and seven companions saw a huge, shiny, flying oval-shaped
object that reflected the sunlight. It flew from north to south, then
changed direction and flew off to the southeast. The UFO was in view for
several minutes and was examined through binoculars. Witnesses of the
daylight UFO included members of the mountaineering expedition, Mongols,
and Buriat lamas. The lamas believed it was the “Sign of
Shambala.”<br />

Dudley Pelley</a> claims he has an out-of-body experience in which he
travels to other planes of existence devoid of corporeal souls. He
describes his experience in an American Magazine article titled “My
Seven Minutes in Eternity,” expanded to a book 1933 as Seven Minutes in
Eternity. In later writings, he describes the experience as
“hypo-dimensional.” During this event, he meets with God and Jesus, who
instruct him to undertake the spiritual transformation of America. He
later claims that the experience gives him the ability to levitate, see
through walls, and have out-of-body experiences at will.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Hertford, England; Orchard<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> In Hertford, England, a 5-year-old girl
and her 8-year-old brother have such an unsettling experience that they
do not talk about it themselves until about 1960, and the woman herself
does not reveal it to outsiders until 1970. They are playing in a garden
when they hear engine sounds and see a tiny (12 or 15 inches wide)
biplane coming over the fence from the direction of an orchard. It
swoops down, nearly hitting a trash can, and lands for a few seconds
before resuming its flight. While it is stationary, the girl can see a
“perfectly proportioned tiny pilot wearing a leather flying helmet, who
waved to us as he took off.”<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Texas; Colorado<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 10:00 a.m. A woman is driving the family
car in an isolated hilly area of Texas when she rounds a curve and sees
a huge object about 100 feet across by the side of the road. A small
door is open with steps leading down to the ground. One side of the
object is braced up by two slender legs with round plates for feet. A
man of normal size comes walking toward her and forces her to stop. He
seems to speak to her telepathically, telling her to leave the road and
make a shortcut through a gully. Some 8–10 other figures walk forward,
much smaller and with slanted eyes. They are wearing tan coveralls and
tight caps. Despite potential damage to her car, she drives through the
gully as the larger man walks alongside. The next thing she remembers is
walking up to her porch at her home 15 miles away. It is around 12:00
midnight. In March 1968, having read Interrupted Journey about the Betty
and Barney Hill case, she writes to the Colorado project and offers
herself for hypnosis and research. <a

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 5/1931<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Paulilatino, Sardinia, Italy; Nuraghe
Trudumeddu<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 4:30 p.m. Pasquale Masala is out riding
his horse with a friend a few miles southeast of Paulilatino, Sardinia,
Italy. When they reach a megalithic tomb known as Nuraghe Trudumeddu,
they dismount to enjoy the view. Suddenly, a strange object the size and
shape of a football emerges from the partially blocked entrance of the
tomb. It travels at a height of about 3 feet above the ground at a
constant speed of about 10–15 mph and enters a thick patch of
undergrowth. Marsala runs after it for about a half mile and notices
that the bushes part in front of the object and close up after it
passes. His companion is frightened and insists on returning to the
village.<br />

encounters with telepathic aliens who fly in a circular machine “like a
great big lamp.” She writes that “The Planet mars is inhabited by human
spirits like us can talk eat &amp; drink wear clothes, but have great
power. They are something people of this earth have never seen.” Their
ships “are round like the moon with airtight shutter at the front,
glass. The machine must be built with some light material, airproof
fireproof, waterproof. The inside must be like a room, 2 beds tables

<strong>Description:</strong> During a time of personal crises, the
witness, now a retired pastor, found himself in a city of 16,000 located
150 miles west of Toronto, Ontario. On this particular night he was
standing on a street lit up by a brilliant white light from above.
Looking up, he saw the light came from a round cloud with a scalloped
edge, about 200 yards overhead. From the cloud-like object streamed down
a light like a laser beam. He next saw a young man with golden hair
standing beside him, dressed in a suit of a similar color. The man had
radiant blue eyes, and was about 5.5 feet tall. He smiled at the witness
and told him that his work would be in that city, and reminded him that
“the cottages in the rear of the mansion are as important as those who
dwell in the mansion.” He told him the witness would reside there for
six years and would then work his way to the west coast. According to
the man’s account, the prophecies were fulfilled.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> Summer 1933<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Tobin Lake, Saskatchewan; Napawin<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> For weeks, strange lights in the sky are
reported around Tobin Lake, Saskatchewan. Curious about the reports, two
young men and a woman drive to the lake from Napawin. On their way they
see a glow near the horizon, so they park and trek a quarter mile into
the woods where they can see a large, oval-shaped craft sitting on legs.
From an open central doorway shines a bright orange glow; a ladderlike
stairway extends downward with a dozen figures dressed in silver suits
moving up and down the steps. They appear to be repairing the craft. The
witnesses watch for 30 minutes when they decide to return to their truck
and get closer. Two nights later they return and find imprints and burn
marks, which they photograph. Two of them write an article that they
submit to magazines, which refuse to publish what they consider
outlandish fiction.<br />

(9E1050E1)</h3>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> Summer 1933<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> Cherryville, Pennsylvania<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 2:30 a.m. A man who still insists on
anonymity in 1964 is driving near Cherryville, Pennsylvania, when his
car gets a flat tire. As he is jacking it up, he sees a faint violet
light in the field on his right. Curious, he walks about 200 feet toward
the light and sees a bell-shaped object about 10 feet in diameter and 6
feet high on the grass. Light is issuing from a circular door about 1
foot in diameter. He pushes it and it swings open. Putting his head
inside, he cannot see much because of the peculiar light coming from the
ceiling. The chamber inside is about 6 feet in diameter, 4 feet high,
and full of tubing and dials on a console. An ammonia scent pervades the
room, which is notably chilly. The man then walks around the object,
touching the surface, which is slick, metallic, and cold. After 10
minutes, he goes back to the car, replaces the tire, and drives
home.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 7/5/1933<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> Sussex, England<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Evening. Four RAF Hawker Fury I biplanes
flying over Sussex, England, encounter a gigantic light that shines
directly into the center of their formation from a higher altitude. Two
Hawkers experience mechanical trouble and separate. Capt. Nigel Tompkins
and Lt. Bruce H. Thomas make emergency landings when both their planes’
engines quit. On his way down, Thomas passes so close to the light that
it causes burns on his face and hands. Probable hoax.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 6:00 p.m. Witnesses in Kalix, Norrbotten,
Sweden, see beams of light coming from a machine that seems to be
searching the ground below. The beams are “blinding.” The sighting is
part of a wave of “ghost flier” reports of gray monoplanes without
identifying markings that are reported over rural areas of Scandinavia
from November 15, 1933, through February 11, 1934. The Swedish Military
Record Office accumulates 96 reports from Sweden, 234 from Norway, and
137 from Finland, and the Swedish Air Force undertakes at least two
reconnaissance missions in search of the mystery planes. More than 50%
of the reports take place between 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., when Venus is
low over the horizon.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Radu Popescu and his cousin are walking by
the Olt River near Drăgășani, Romania, when they come upon what seems to
be a Romany wagon. They see five figures—one next to the object, two
farther away, and another two next to a boat on the shore. Suddenly the
figures run toward the object, something black covers it, an antenna
appears, and it rises up above the river. It turns to a white color as
it moves away.<br />

J. Wilson</a> of Nashville, Tennessee, is observing Mars through a

quickly becomes yellow, then red- yellow, the “phenomenon passing from
left to right across the polar cap.”<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> The Ford Foundation and Rockefeller
Foundation begin contributing large amounts of money to the Council on
Foreign Relations. They create various Committees on Foreign Relations
throughout the country, which later become governed by the American
Committees on Foreign Relations in Washington, D.C., funded by a grant
from the Carnegie Corporation. Influential men are chosen in several
cities and are brought together for discussions in their own communities
as well as participating in an annual conference in New York. These
local committees serve to influence local leaders and shape public
opinion to build support for the council’s policies, while also acting
as “useful listening posts” through which the Council and US government
can “sense the mood of the country.”<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> (Or following year.) Two persons saw a
strange “frog-man” 1 m tall with a round head, no neck, and a hump in
front of the body. The mouth was a large, straight slit, the eyes were
like smaller slits. The skin was brown-green, compared to pegamoid,
hands normal. The creature walked in a peculiar “but elegant” fashion,
the head waving up and down while the legs moved “carefully.” When
pursued, the creature accelerated very fast, with feet “fluttering.”
About 100 m away it vanished completely’.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 8:00 p.m. “The War of the Worlds” episode
of the American radio drama anthology series The Mercury Theatre on the
Air, directed and narrated by actor and future filmmaker <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orson%5FWelles">Orson Welles</a>, is
an adaptation of <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.%5FG.%5FWells">H. G.</a> <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.%5FG.%5FWells">Wells</a>’s novel
The War of the Worlds (1898). It is performed and broadcast live in New
York City as a Halloween episode over the Columbia Broadcasting System
radio network. The episode becomes famous for allegedly causing panic
among its listening audience, though the scale of that panic is disputed
as the program has relatively few listeners. In the days after the
adaptation, widespread outrage is expressed in the media. The program’s
news-bulletin format is described as deceptive by some newspapers and
public figures, leading to an outcry against the broadcasters and calls
for regulation by the FCC, which declines. Some government agencies in
the US, Germany, and Russia take note of how segments of the population
are easily manipulated into thinking fiction is fact. According to <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annie%5FJacobsen">Annie
Jacobsen,</a> the confusion allegedly inspires <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph%5FStalin">Joseph
Stalin</a> to create a similar scenario with a fake alien crash in the
US.<br />

biology, meteorology and continue exploring new areas. Due to the
impending involvement of America in the Second World War, Byrd was
recalled to active duty in 1940 and assigned to the Office of the Chief
of Naval Operations. The expedition continued without him.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> A Columbia University team conducts the
first nuclear fission experiment in the US in the basement of Pupin Hall

involves placing uranium oxide inside an ionization chamber and
irradiating it with neutrons, then measuring the energy released. The
results confirm that fission is occurring and hints strongly that it is
the isotope uranium-235 that is undergoing fission.<br />

President Roosevelt stating “it may be possible to set up a nuclear
chain reaction in a large mass of uranium, by which vast amounts of
power and large quantities of new radium-like elements would be
generated. Now it appears almost certain that this could be achieved in
the immediate future… This new phenomenon would also lead to the
construction of bombs”<br />

(30743A76)</h3>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> Early 8/1939<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Armășești, Romania; Bucharest<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> George Pârvu and four other schoolchildren
are playing in an open field in Armășești, Romania, when they see a
bright light in the sky moving in a zigzag fashion. It circles a few
times then descends in their direction, getting bigger and brighter. The
egg-shaped object hovers silently at an altitude of 230–260 feet.
Suddenly it becomes a dull coppery color and lands about 140 feet away.
Two of the children flee but Pârvu and two others remain. The bottom of
the object has a ring of small turbine blades that look like paddles in
a water mill. It seems to be 16 feet high. A hatch opens and two little
men about 4 feet tall come out, dressed in gray diving suits. They walk
toward the children, one of them holding a rectangular box pointing at
the ground. The children approach them, holding hands, but when they are
about 23 feet away the other man points a thick stick-like device at
them and they are no longer able to move forward. The little men bow in
their direction, waist deep, then turn around and reenter the object,
which takes off. The children find a circular area of yellowed grass
where the object had been. Pârvu feels energized, but one of the other
boys is temporarily sick. Pârvu encounters what he perceives to be the
same object in August 1944, August 1949, and the summer of 1954 (in the
center of Bucharest).<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 8/2/1939<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Hungary; Germany; United States<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Hungarian-American physicist <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo%5FSzilard">Leo
Szilárd</a> writes a confidential letter to <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin%5FD.%5FRoosevelt">President
Roosevelt,</a> in consultation with fellow Hungarian physicists <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward%5FTeller">Edward

href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene%5FWigner">Eugene
Wigner.</a> He has persuaded <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert%5FEinstein">Albert
Einstein</a> to sign it as well. The letter warns that Germany might
develop atomic bombs and suggests that the United States should start
its own nuclear program. It results in the establishment of research
into nuclear fission by the US government, and ultimately to the
creation of the Manhattan Project. Delayed by the outbreak of war in
Europe, the letter is eventually hand-delivered to Roosevelt by
economist <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander%5FSachs">Alexander
Sachs</a> on October 11. Roosevelt gives the letter to his aide, Brig.
Gen. <a

<p><strong>Date:</strong> Late Summer 1939<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> Fort Worth, Texas<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> A girl sleeping in the back yard of her
home in Fort Worth, Texas, is awakened by a whirring noise. She sees a
small object approaching from the east at an altitude of 20–30 feet.
When it gets close, it descends to the level of her bed and hovers
briefly at the foot, so close that she can touch it. It has the shape of
an “old-time Mississippi steamboat with a deck around the bottom.”
Strata or veins run through it, and a soft, blue-green glow surrounds
it. It is 3 feet around and 1 foot high. It rises suddenly and
disappears.<br />

<strong>Location:</strong> Brockworth, Gloucester, England<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 7:00 a.m. A building foreman is driving
past a deserted farm near Brockworth, Gloucester, England, when he hears
a high-pitched humming sound. He watches a gray, bell-shaped object
hovering about 20 feet above a field 100 feet away. He estimates it is
about 25 feet across. Dark window-like patches are visible on the side.
A “curtain” of blue-green light emanates from the underside. After about
two minutes, the green light retracts into the base of the object. The
object then tilts to an angle of about 80° and moves away without a
sound.<br />

Guy Huffman</a> of the Red Star Baptist Church in Cape Girardeau,
Missouri, is summoned to an apparent airplane crash one Saturday. When
he arrives at the scene, about 15 miles from town, he finds a
weird-looking craft “broken and scattered all around,” but smooth and
rounded without edges or seams. A cockpit with a chair facing an
instrument panel remains intact. Police officers, military men, and
plain-clothes individuals are sifting through the wreckage. He also sees
three non-human bodies about 4 feet tall with long arms, oversized
heads, and large eyes. He says a prayer for them, and afterward sees
someone take a photo of an alien propped up by the arms between two
plainclothesmen. The following evening, he is given a copy of the photo
by a member of his congregation (thought to be <a

project rather than the Navy, although the Navy has shown far more
interest in the field, and is already conducting research into atomic
energy for powering ships. Bush’s negative experiences with the Navy has
convinced him that it would not listen to his advice and cannot handle
large-scale construction projects.<br />

Naval Base at Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii</a><br />
<strong>Description:</strong> The attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise
military strike by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service upon the
United States against the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in Honolulu,
Hawaii, just before 8:00 a.m. (local time) on Sunday. The United States
was a neutral country at the time; the attack led to its formal entry
into World War II on the side of the Allies the next day. The Japanese
military leadership referred to the attack as the Hawaii Operation and
Operation AI and as Operation Z during its planning. (Author Moira
McGhee wrote in her book “Alien Gene” that the Pearl Harbor attacks were
being observed by one or more UFO’s.)<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> With the US at war, funding for an atomic
bomb is now available in amounts undreamed of the year before. At the
S-1 Section meeting, American physicist <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest%5FLawrence">Ernest
Lawrence</a> asks for $400,000 for electromagnetic separation, and the
section immediately recommends granting it. MIT physicist <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl%5FTaylor%5FCompton">Karl Taylor
Compton</a> is allocated $340,000 for nuclear reactor research at
Columbia and Princeton, and $278,000 at the University of Chicago.
Another $500,000 is earmarked for raw materials. His proposed schedule
is no less breathtaking: to produce a nuclear chain reaction by July
1942, and an atomic bomb by January 1945. In January 1942, he creates
the Metallurgical Laboratory, centralizing the work at the University of
Chicago.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Los Angeles, California; Los Angeles County;
Pacific coast; Southern California<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> The Battle of Los Angeles takes place, a
rumored enemy attack and subsequent anti-aircraft barrage over Los
Angeles, California. Air raid sirens sound throughout Los Angeles County
on the night of February 24. A total blackout is ordered, and thousands
of air raid wardens are summoned to their positions. At 3:16 a.m., the
37th Coast Artillery Brigade begins firing .50 caliber machine guns and
12.8-pound anti-aircraft shells into the air at reported aircraft; more
than 1,400 shells are eventually fired. Pilots of the 4th Interceptor
Command are alerted, but their aircraft remain grounded. The artillery
fire continues sporadically until 4:14 a.m. The “all clear” is sounded
and the blackout order lifted at 7:21 a.m. Several buildings and
vehicles are damaged by shell fragments, and five civilians die as an
indirect result of the anti-aircraft fire. Three are killed in car
accidents in the ensuing chaos and two die of heart attacks attributed
to the stress of the hour-long action. The incident is front-page news
along the Pacific coast and earns some mass media coverage. Within hours
of the end of the air raid, Secretary of the Navy <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank%5FKnox">Frank Knox</a> holds a
press conference, saying the entire incident was a false alarm due to
anxiety and “war nerves.” Knox’s comments are followed by statements
from the Army on February 26 that reflect General <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George%5FMarshall">George C.
Marshall</a>’s belief that the incident was caused by commercial
airplanes used as a psychological warfare campaign to generate panic.
Some contemporary press outlets suspect a cover-up. Rep. <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leland%5FM.%5FFord">Leland M.
Ford</a> (R-Calif.) calls for a congressional investigation, saying,
“none of the explanations so far offered removed the episode from the
category of ‘complete mystification’ … this was either a practice raid,
or a raid to throw a scare into 2,000,000 people, or a mistaken identity
raid, or a raid to lay a political foundation to take away Southern
California’s war industries.” The Japanese government, after the war
ended, declares that they had flown no airplanes over Los Angeles during
the war. In 1983, the US Office of Air Force History attributes the
event to a case of “war nerves” triggered by a lost weather balloon and
exacerbated by stray flares and shell bursts from adjoining batteries. A
number of fake documents about this incident have been circulated by <a

S. Cooper</a>.<br />

Angeles County, California a formation of 6-9 luminous white balls of
light flying in a triangular formation flew in from the northwest,
moving very slowly. They also appeared as steady radar blips coming in
from the sea. As they flew over aircraft factories and this was shortly
after the United States entry into World War II, widespread panic
resulted, and five people were killed by the anti-aircraft fire hitting
the ground and in subsequent traffic accidents. In the evening in Santa
Monica, California a white disc was sighted hovering high in the
sky.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 5:50 p.m. An RAAF pilot is on flying
patrol off the Tasman Peninsula, Tasmania, following reports by
fishermen of strange lights on the waters of Bass Strait. A “singular
airfoil of glistening bronze color” appears out of a cloudbank. It’s
about 150 feet long, 50 feet in diameter, and has a dome on top. It
accompanies his plane for a few minutes before departing at “a hell of a
pace.” It turns again and dives into the ocean, throwing up a “whirlpool
of waves.”<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Ruhr Valley, Germany; Zuiderzee in
Holland<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Midnight. Flight Lt. Roman (Ray) Sabiński
of the 301 Polish Bomber Squadron is flying an RAF Wellington bomber
after returning from a run on the Ruhr Valley, Germany; he sees a bright
copper-colored light the “size of the moon” following the aircraft over
the Zuiderzee in Holland. When it gets within 200 yards, the rear gunner
shoots at it with all four machine guns. After two minutes, it moves at
terrific speed to the port side, and the front gunner starts firing at
it. Sabiński takes evasive action, but the object keeps pacing him.
Finally, it moves in front of the bomber, stays there a while, then
takes off at fantastic speed.<br />

(16B44B30)</h3>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 8/12/1942<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Tulagi; Solomon Islands<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Day. Sgt. Stephen J. Brickner of the 1st
Marine Division on Tulagi in the Solomon Islands is cleaning his rifle
when an air-raid warning is sounded. He dives into his foxhole looking
to the sky. He hears a roaring sound unlike that of an aircraft. Soon he
sees a formation of more than 150 silvery objects, in straight lines of
10 or 12. The objects seem to wobble slightly. They are flying faster
than Japanese planes and are soon out of sight.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Pvt. Albert Lancashire, 27, is standing
guard at Cresswell radar station near Newbiggin-by-the-Sea,
Northumberland, England, when he sees a cloud-enshrouded light
approaching from the North Sea. As it descends, he is drawn up into it
by a beam. Small men grab him and carry him into the craft, where he
sees other human figures of normal height, including an apparent captain
with dark hair and goggles. He is made to lie down on a couch or table.
He has only vague memories of what happens next, but he thinks a medical
exam is performed. He wakes up back at his sentry post.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> Late 1942?<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> Europe<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> According to records released in August
2010, Prime Minister <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winston%5FChurchill">Winston
Churchill</a> supposedly classifies for 50 years an alleged UFO incident
because of fears it could create mass panic. The incident allegedly
involves an RAF reconnaissance plane returning from a mission in Europe.
The aircraft is over or near the English coastline when it is allegedly
intercepted by a strange metallic object that matches the aircraft’s
course and speed for a time before shooting away. The plane’s crew
photograph the object, which “hovered noiselessly” near the aircraft
before moving off. According to the documents, details of the cover-up
emerge when a man writes to the government in 1999 seeking to find out
more about the incident. He describes how his grandfather, who served
with the RAF, was present when Churchill and Gen. <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwight%5FD.%5FEisenhower">Dwight
Eisenhower</a> discussed how to deal with the encounter. However, the

<strong>Location:</strong> Columbia, PA<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> THEY FOLLOW THE LEADER - Mrs. A.M.
Strickler, while out walking between 9 and 10pm, sighted in the sky over
the Susquehanna Bridge, on Route 30, a string of highly illuminated
objects which, she says she can best describe as being similar to a
train of passenger coaches, seeming to weave in and out in a highly
specialized follow-the-leader pattern. Illumination seemed to emanate
from an endless string of portholes which were arranged on a straight
line or plane and were yellowish like an incandescent bulb. The objects
were cigar-shaped, but could have been one side of a flat, saucer-shaped
form. Each “coach” was identical in size and shape except the first,
which was larger, brighter and seemed to have a proboscis-shaped
appendage in front like a figure head. The objects traveled extremely
fast, emitting no noise, jet exhaust, or flame.<br />

Clyde Lumsden</a> is flying a Hawker Hurricane heading for the French
coast. About 7,000 feet over the mouth of the River Somme, France, he
observes two orange lights climbing, one slightly above the other. He
completes a full turn, putting the lights behind him on the port side.
They now appear brighter and larger. When they reach his altitude, they
stop climbing and stay at his altitude. He makes another full turn, but
the objects stay with him. Lumsden dives to 4,000 feet, but the lights
match his maneuvers. He increases his speed to 260 mph and gradually
leaves them behind. His squadron mates do not believe him, but the next
night another squadron member has a similar encounter with a green
light.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> SAUCERS GIVE NAVAL GUNS THE BRUSHOFF - In
conversing with a former Navy man who is presently a radio technician
for the Santa Fe railroad, he related that sometime in 1943 while he was
stationed at San Diego and assigned to a gun crew on a naval destroyer
they were alerted to their stations. Shortly five saucers (such as those
pictured by George Adamski) appeared over the ship and hovered. Orders
were given to fire upon them. He asserted that they could see the
tracers and shells heading directly toward the saucers. The shells
either exploded or disintegrated before reaching the objects. This
attack continued for 10 minutes but nothing affected them. At the
approach of naval planes the saucers disappeared.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Warsaw Ghetto; Poland; Bonifraterska street;
Old Town<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 5:00 p.m. Kazimierz Bzowski and other
resistance fighters are monitoring a fire in the Warsaw Ghetto in
Poland. They notice a flying object approaching them at about 60 mph.
Through binoculars it appears to be a sphere colored with tangled strips
of both raspberry and blue-green colors. Bzowski estimates it is at an
elevation of 200 feet and is about 25 feet in diameter. They observe
German and Lithuanian snipers on Bonifraterska street shooting at it,
although the bullets seem to pass through it. The object alters course
and heads toward Old Town, then stops dead and shoots away at great
speed.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 7/18/1943<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Gdynia, Poland; Baltic Sea<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> A French prisoner in a German labor camp
near Gdynia, Poland, is walking to work along the Baltic Sea when he
sees a flat, metallic object embedded in the sand. A human figure is
standing next to it, apparently trying to dig it up. When he passes by,
the figure, apparently an Asian woman with long blonde hair and dressed
in a tight- fitting overall, turns in his direction. The witness assumes
she is the famous German aviator <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanna%5FReitsch">Hanna
Reitsch</a> and helps her dig the experimental aircraft out of the sand.
The object is 20 feet in diameter and looks like two metallic saucers
put together. The woman touches the witness’s chest with her hand and
points to the sky. She touches her belt and a door in the object opens.
She crawls inside, the door closes, and the object ascends and departs
at a tremendous speed.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 9:00 p.m. <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/87087670/wilberta-murrie-finley">Wilberta
Finley</a>, an air spotter for the Civil Air Patrol, notices a “huge
dark aerial object approaching” her home in Santa Barbara, California,
facing the Goleta Valley. Moving low and soundlessly, it barely skims
over a nearby hill. From its front a beam of light shoots down, and at
intervals it swings from side to side as if scanning the hills and homes
below.<br />

<strong>Location:</strong> Germany<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Night. A group of B-17s from the 384th
Bombardment Group are returning from a mission over Germany when they
see a cluster of silver-colored discs in the path of their formation and
closing with the bombers. The crews talk back and forth, discussing and
confirming the sight before them. They describe the objects as “about
one inch thick and three inches in diameter…gliding down slowly in a
very uniform cluster.” One of the bombers goes directly through the
cluster “with absolutely no effect on engines or plane surface,” even
though one is heard to strike the tail assembly. A mass of black debris
about 3-4 feet long is also observed.<br />

<strong>Location:</strong> Mantong<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond%5FA.%5FPalmer">Ray
Palmer</a> publishes an article, “An Ancient Language?” on the language
of Mantong in the January 1944 issue of Amazing Stories and enters into
correspondence with <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard%5FSharpe%5FShaver">Richard
S. Shaver</a>, who responds with a 10,000- word document titled “A
Warning to Future Man.” Shaver writes of advanced prehistoric races who
built underground cities before abandoning Earth for another planet
because of damaging radiation from the Sun. Those ancients also
abandoned some of their own offspring here, a minority of whom remained
noble and human “Teros,” while most degenerate over time into a
population of mentally impaired sadists known as “Deros”— short for
“detrimental robots.” Shaver’s robots are not mechanical constructs, but
robot-like due to their savage behavior. These Deros still live in the
cave cities, according to Shaver, kidnapping surface-dwelling people by
the thousands for meat or torture. Deros can be blamed for nearly all
misfortunes, from minor “accidental” injuries or illnesses to airplane
crashes and catastrophic natural disasters. Though generally confined to
their caves, the Deros sometimes travel in spaceships or rockets, and
have dealings with equally evil extraterrestrials. Shaver claims to
possess first-hand knowledge of the Deros and their caves, insisting he
had been their prisoner for several years. The article stirs
considerable reader interest, and the pages of Amazing Stories are soon
filled with stories and articles about the “Shaver mystery.”<br />

(DC467B86)</h3>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 12/2/1943<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> Bari, Italy<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Night. Some 105 German Junkers Ju 888
bombers attack the port of Bari, Italy, a key supply center for Allied
forces. 28 Allied ships are sunk, including the US Liberty ship <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS%5FJohn%5FHarvey">SS John
Harvey</a><a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS%5FJohn%5FHarvey">,</a> which is
carrying mustard gas intended for retaliation in case German forces use
chemical warfare. Liquid sulfur mustard from the bombs spills into
waters already contaminated by oil from the other damaged vessels. The
many sailors who abandoned their ships into the water become covered
with the oily mixture. The wounded are pulled from the water and sent to
medical facilities whose personnel are unaware of the mustard gas.
Medical staff focus on personnel with blast or fire injuries. Within a
day, the first symptoms of mustard poisoning appear in 628 patients and
medical staff, including blindness and chemical burns. That puzzling
development is further complicated by the arrival of hundreds of Italian
civilians also seeking treatment, who have been poisoned by a cloud of
sulfur mustard vapor that blows over the city when some of John Harvey’s
cargo exploded. As the medical crisis worsens, little information is
available about what is causing the symptoms, because US military
command want to keep the presence of chemical munitions secret from the
Germans. By the end of the month, 83 of the 628 hospitalized military
victims have died. The number of civilian casualties, thought to have
been even greater, cannot be accurately gauged since most have left the
city to seek shelter with relatives.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> central Germany; Phyllis Marie<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Day. While on a bombing mission over
central Germany, Sgt. <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/17898179/louis-kiss">Louis
Kiss</a>, a tail gunner on the Phyllis Marie, a B-17 of the 390th
Bombardment Group, sees an odd-looking sphere approach the plane from
behind and below. It seems to be the size of a basketball and shimmery
gold. The object hovers just above one wing, then passes over the top to
the other wing where it hovers again. Soon it moves to the rear and gets
caught in the B-17’s backwash and disappears.<br />

Adamski</a> and his followers move closer to Palomar Mountain,
California, along the Road to the Stars where his long-time associate
Alice K. Wells sets up a roadside café, Palomar Gardens. According to
coworker Charlotte Blodget, “Each member of the group shared in the
manual labor that went into this effort, and since heavy restrictions
were still in effect regarding materials [in the war’s aftermath],
anything available had to serve.” Adamski builds a “small observatory”
to house his 15-inch telescope to study the skies.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 2/20/1944<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Guadalcanal; Solomon Islands<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 2:30 a.m. Two guards of the 3rd Marine
Division on Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands see what they first
assume are the headlight beams of a truck coming from a swamp about
three-quarters of a mile from their position. It moves laterally about
50 feet and they see it is a circular light about 50–60 feet long and 20
feet high. It then rises into the air about 25 feet and heads in the
direction of the guards at about 45 mph. It makes a 45° turn and passes
about 100 feet above the trees of a coconut grove. Several days later, a
200-foot cut in the reeds is discovered in the approximate spot where
the light originated.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Germany; Japan<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Brig. Gen. <a
href="https://www.af.mil/About-Us/Biographies/Display/Article/106278/major-general-george-c-mcdonald/">George
C. McDonald</a> is appointed assistant chief of staff for intelligence
for the newly created US Strategic Air Forces in Europe. “Many months
preceding the collapse of Germany, McDonald recognized the imperative
need for the creation of a new type of intelligence activity to
investigate and exploit air intelligence objectives in Germany and
liberated countries. This unique system was established and consisted of
a great number of highly qualified technical and scientific personnel to
exploit all the worldwide aeronautical research developments of Germany.
This resulted in the collection of priority intelligence information of
value in the prosecution of the war against Japan; technical and
non-technical information of immediate operational significance and
value; as well as a substantial portion of important documents and
personnel of the German Air Ministry that enabled the US Army Air Forces
to undertake long-range research with respect to many valuable- phases
of air doctrine, research, employment, organization, procedure, and
plans of the German air force.” Among the personalities involved in the
operation are some who will become involved in UFO investigations in the
future: Col. <a

about three times brighter than the brightest star or planet, and large
enough that he made out its roundness. It appeared stationary for a
minute or so, then began to move in slow, slight movements. The witness
had the feeling they were being watched, as if the ball was observing
the island. It covered an area of the sky approx. 100 degrees. It
speeded up and traveled away from the island towards the direction where
the plane was lost.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> Late 7/1944<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Impilahti, Karelia [now Russia]; Lake
Ladoga<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Evening. Jaakku Kivistö is serving in the
Finnish Army as a noncommissioned medical officer stationed on a farm
near Impilahti, Karelia [now Russia], by Lake Ladoga. He notices a large
object next to the corn-drying building on a steep hillside that he at
first takes for a military truck. As he walks closer, he sees it is
reddish in color, moving slowly about 150–230 feet in the air, 100 feet
long, and has a row of black windows. It moves off quickly in the
direction of the lake and vanishes.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Shortly after midnight. Capt. <a

M. Reida</a> is piloting a B-29 bomber based at Kharagpur, India, on a
bombing mission over Palembang, Sumatra, Indonesia, when his right
gunner and copilot notice a sphere “probably five or six feet in
diameter, of a very bright and intense red or orange in color” that
constantly throbs, at about 12,500 feet, pacing them about 1,500 feet
off the starboard wing. It keeps up with the B-29, then flying at 210
mph. Reida tries to shake it off his plane, but it stays in the same
relative position until, after 8 minutes, it makes an abrupt 90° turn
and accelerates rapidly, disappearing in the overcast.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 8/11/1944<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> France; La Pallice; La Rochelle;
Charente-Maritime<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Night. RAF Warrant Officer Ronald R.
Claridge is over France aboard a No. 7 Squadron Lancaster bomber
returning from a bombing run on La Pallice, La Rochelle,
Charente-Maritime, France, when his radar screen goes blank. Another
crewman shouts to look at a vast disc-shaped object with a long row of
lights on their starboard side. They watch it for 3 minutes, then it
shoots away in a flash of light. Later he draws a watercolor painting to
show how the UFO dwarfed the bomber.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> Late 8/1944<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> Christchurch, New Zealand<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 4:20 p.m. A nurse, Mrs. E. M. Church, on
her way to a tram station in Christchurch, New Zealand, sees an object
like an “upturned saucer” resting on the ground near the road. It seems
to be 20 feet across and 9 feet high. Two beings, not quite 4 feet tall,
are inside, visible through a rectangular window. A third stands
motionless, just outside an open door. All three seem to be looking
toward the lights of a nearby fairground. The nurse cannot decide if
their skin color is green or they are dressed in green, but all are
encased in a transparent oblong box. The head takes up half of their
bodies and there are no apparent legs or arms. She inadvertently makes a
noise, and the outside figure notices her. Its helmet flips over
automatically, and it drifts inside the object, which rises up and
disappears in the clouds.<br />

(6F7C3DA0)</h3>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 9/7/1944<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> Germany<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 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”.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Rochester, Pennsylvania; outskirts of
Rochester, Pennsylvania<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Late night. Members of a family who live
in an isolated area on the outskirts of Rochester, Pennsylvania, are
awakened by a loud noise and flash of light. The father goes to the
door, where he sees a 4.5-foot-tall figure dressed in a brown robe.
Fifteen feet to its left are five other figures dressed in luminous
brown metallic suits. Their heads seem large, with only a slit for a
mouth. The arms are long, with long thin fingers. Three of them enter
the house and the father accompanies them to a landed craft nearby. He
remembers nothing else when he wakes up in the morning. A round, burned
circle 20 feet from the house and 25 feet in diameter is found the next
day.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> The Japanese Army launches the first of
some 9,300 Fu-Go bomb-bearing fire balloons intended to land in North
America to instill fear and terror. About 300 are found or seen in
America. It is likely that more of them land in unpopulated areas. On
November 4, a US Navy patrol craft discovers one of the first Fu-Go
balloons floating off San Pedro, Los Angeles, California. National and
state agencies are placed on heightened alert status when balloons are
found in Wyoming and Montana before the end of the month.<br />

D. Leet</a>’s B-17 crew (part of the 2nd Bombardment Group, 5th Wing of
the Fifteenth Air Force) is returning from bombing a target at
Klagenfurt, Austria. While flying over northeastern Italy near Trieste,
Leet notices a blinding light and feels an intense heat. It goes away
quickly, but seconds later he sees a “round amber light” sitting off the
left wingtip of the B-17. It is bright and perfectly circular. Leet
orders the gunners not to shoot at it. Sgt. Harris, the upper gunner,
thinks it is 10 feet in diameter and 150–300 feet away. The object stays
with them over the Adriatic Sea for 50 minutes, until it “just turned
off” like a light bulb.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 12/23/1944<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Blackstone; Richmond, Virginia; Naval Air
Station Pasco, Washington<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Night. Navy Lt. <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/184270993/george-arents">George
Arents III</a> and copilot Lt. Elon Forster are flying a military DC-3
at 9,000 feet between Blackstone and Richmond, Virginia, when they
notice a cigar-shaped object hovering below them at about 4,000 feet. It
appears to be 200 feet long and has two horizontal rows of blue-lighted
windows and a flaming exhaust coming out of its tail. (Jan Aldrich) Late
December through February 1945 — Radar operators at Naval Air Station
Pasco, Washington, report unusual blips that appear out of nowhere and
proceed from northwest to southeast. A Grumman F6F Hellcat fighter is
scrambled on at least two occasions with orders to shoot down anything
that appears to be hostile, but nothing is seen. In another incident,
Lt. JG Clarence R. Clem accompanies Lt. Commander Richard Brown and
Ensign C. T. Neal to a waiting aircraft and Brown takes off in pursuit
of a ball of fire that quickly leaves him behind as it speeds off to the
northwest and is lost to radar. On another occasion, naval officer R. W.
Hendershot, flying an SNJ aircraft, is asked by ground radar to make
contact with two high-altitude blips flying at the speed of a single-
engine Piper Cub. Though he can see nothing, he is convinced the blips
are real.<br />

Palmer</a> edits, rewrites, and publishes Richard S. Shaver’s
description of the cave-dwelling Dero for the March 1945 issue of
Amazing Stories under the title “I Remember Lemuria.” The issue sells
out and generates quite a response. Between 1945 and 1949, many letters
arrive attesting to the truth of Shaver’s claims (tens of thousands of
letters, according to Palmer). The correspondents claim that they, too,
have heard strange voices or encountered denizens of the Hollow
Earth.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 2/2/1945<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Oranienburg, Germany; Gotha<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> The first flight of the H.IX V2 is made in
Oranienburg, Germany. All subsequent test flights and development are
done by Gothaer Waggonfabrik in Gotha. By this time, the <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horten%5Fbrothers">Horten
brothers</a> are working on a turbojet-powered design for the Amerika
Bomber contract competition and do not attend the first test flight. The
test pilot is Leutnant <a
href="http://www.pilotenbunker.de/Unbek%5FHelden/Ziller%5FErwin/ziller%5Ferwin.htm">Erwin
Ziller.</a> Two further test flights are made in February. There are
reports that during one of these test flights, the H.IX V2 undertook a
simulated dogfight with a Messerschmitt Me 262, the first operational
jet fighter, and that the H.IX V2 outperformed the Me 262. However, the
Me 262 is considered by many as unsuitable for fighter missions, being
slow in turning.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 2/10/1945<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Chicago; Washington<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> The Chicago Tribune and Washington
Times-Herald reveal <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William%5FJ.%5FDonovan">Bill
Donovan</a>’s plans for a postwar intelligence agency and publishes a
secret memo he has sent to <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin%5FD.%5FRoosevelt">Roosevelt</a> proposing
its creation. The article compares the proposed agency to the Gestapo.
Knowing that Americans want a smaller federal government after the war,
Roosevelt is not entirely sold on Donovan’s proposal, although Donovan
feels reasonably confident that he can talk the president into the idea.
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J.%5FEdgar%5FHoover">J. Edgar
Hoover</a> disapproves of Donovan’s plan, which he sees as a direct
threat to FBI authority, even though Donovan has stressed that his
agency will operate only abroad, not domestically.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Disaster strikes during the third test
flight of the H.IX V2 in Gotha, Germany. <a
href="http://www.pilotenbunker.de/Unbek%5FHelden/Ziller%5FErwin/ziller%5Ferwin.htm">Erwin
Ziller</a> takes off without any problems to perform a series of flight
tests. After about 45 minutes, at an altitude of around 800 meters, one
of the Jumo 004 turbojet engines develops a problem, catches fire and
stops. Ziller is seen putting the aircraft into a dive and pulling up
several times in an attempt to restart the engine and save the precious
prototype. He undertakes a series of four complete turns at a 20° angle.
Ziller does not use his radio or eject from the aircraft. He already is
unconscious as a result of the fumes from the burning engine. The
aircraft crashes just outside the boundary of the airfield. Ziller is
thrown from the aircraft on impact and dies from his injuries two weeks
later. The prototype aircraft is completely destroyed.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 3/1945<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> wooded area near Belfast, Maine<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> A man is squirrel hunting in a wooded area
near Belfast, Maine, when he sees a huge, elongated object just above
the trees. He runs after it, thinking it is a dirigible about to crash.
The object crashes into the trees at the far edge of a clearing,
splitting a huge pine tree down the middle. He smells burned rubber. The
object seems to be as big as several B-36 bombers. As he stands there
stunned, the lowest end of the craft begins to rise and he hears a
humming sound of increasing intensity. After it rises to a horizontal
position, it begins to spin faster and faster and the hum becomes very
intense. Suddenly one end spews a shower of fine, silvery threads that
glint in the sunlight. The object begins to change to a white metallic
color and it takes off straight up at fantastic speed.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Washington State; Hanford site of the
Manhattan Project<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> A Japanese Fu-Go balloon strikes a
high-tension wire on the Bonneville Power Administration in Washington
State. The balloon causes sparks and a fireball that results in the
power being cut. Coincidentally, the largest consumer of energy on this
power grid is the Hanford site of the Manhattan Project, which suddenly
loses power. The officer in charge at Hanford, Col. <a
href="https://www.atomicheritage.org/profile/franklin-matthias">Franklin
Matthias</a>, says “it shut down the plant cold, and it took us about
three days to get it back up to full power again.”<br />

Gunner Cpl. Donald Pratt is preparing for a Japanese attack when he sees
a shiny silver object hovering directly over the battleship. It remains
stationary over the ship for 30 minutes and is tracked on ship radar.
Two antiaircraft guns fire on the object, but it does not move or seem
affected. Capt. <a

C. Christian Sr.</a> orders the guns to stop. Immediately the object
shoots up and away at a fantastic rate of speed.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Okinawa, Japan; Ryukyu Islands<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> During operations around Okinawa, Japan,
the radar crew on the aircraft carrier <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS%5FIndependence%5F%28CVL-22%29">USS
Independence</a> frequently notices strange radar returns that move at
slow speeds (30–70 mph). Aircraft and destroyers sent to search for them
never find anything. These radar ghosts are usually detected 25–30 miles
away at an altitude of 1,500 feet, but occasionally 3,500 feet. The
primary diagnostic for these false returns is their speed. The Navy
nicknames them the “ghost of Nansei-shoto” after the Japanese name for
the Ryukyu Islands, of which Okinawa is one.<br />

directly above Fisherville, 3 miles to the east. Its brightness
fluctuates and it seems to be moving directly toward his location,
casting a light beam downward. After 10 minutes, it goes out “like a
snuffed candle.”<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 4/18/1945<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> There were two radar-visual UFO reports on
this day from the Far East near Iwo Jima. At three o’clock in the
morning ground control radar made radar contact with an unknown radar
target over the Pacific Ocean at a distance of 18 to 8 miles from the
island. The gunner in a P-61B “Black Widow” aircraft attached to the
549th NFS squadron saw a yellow, star-like light approach and lose
altitude. Radar contact was then lost. The gunner saw a second light,
but no radar contact was made with it. At 4:15 a.m. Ground control again
made radar contact with a target. The gunner of a P-61B plane saw a
reddish, round light. Contact on the radar screen showed two blips
engaging in evasive action, which soon outdistanced the P-61, one of the
fastest propeller driven aircraft of its time.<br />

headed down the starboard side at 25 mph. Still, nothing can be seen
visually, and the radar operator suggests that it is a flock of
birds.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 9:45 a.m. Acting Squadron Leader Kit
Francis Williams of the RAF 617 Bomber Squadron is flying a Lancaster
with 25 other aircraft to bomb Hitler’s headquarters at Berchtesgaden,
Germany, in the Bavarian Alps. Just after a turn near Kaiserslautern,
Germany, at 16,500 feet, Williams witnesses an object like a large
woolly blanket that takes up his entire windshield. He thinks it could
be as much as 4–5 miles wide. It moves vertically and is gone in an
instant. Suddenly his aircraft loses its electrical power and loses one
of its bombs. He and his bomber and engineer get severe headaches. They
return to base in England after regaining power.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 5/3/1945<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> In the predawn hours a US Army Air Force
B-24 bomber flying over Fala Island in the Truk Atoll, the Pacific Ocean
encountered two objects with red circles of light, changing color from
cherry-red to orange to white lights, and then back to cherry again;
they followed aircraft for over an hour while the bomber performed

Druffel</a> is on a bus returning from her summer job in Long Beach,
California, when she sees out of the left-hand window a bright,
stationary, yellowish-white light in the northeastern sky. It looks like
Venus but has a yellow color. She gets off the bus and still watches it,
walking home. Soon she sees it is moving slowly to the northwest. She
gets her mother to view it as well. Druffel thinks it is too high to be
a coastal defense balloon. Druffel watches it for 90 minutes, after
which it takes on some “activity.” Some 10–15 pieces of light begin
separating from it, fading from view after moving several diameters away
from the large object.<br />

a large, dark sphere rise out of the ocean east of Adak in the Aleutian

almost straight up for a few moments, then it arcs into level flight,
and circles the ship two or three times. All the observers are convinced
it is a large object. Crawford estimates the UFO is 150–250 feet in
diameter. The gun crews hold their fire. After several minutes, it
disappears to the south.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> The 9th Bombardment Group on Tinian in the
Northern Marianas: “During our night missions in June and July a UFO
phenomenon was reported. Our air crews started sighting balls of fire,
i.e., glowing objects about the size of a full moon which flew around in
the vicinity of our flying patterns over Japan. One of our crews
reported that one of the objects followed their airplane halfway to Iwo
Jima. I saw them on two missions. I don’t remember any reports of any
hostile action by these objects and the reports of sightings stopped
after a couple of months. The object of these reports was dismissed by
some experts as the planet Venus. And, after these reports started
coming in, some crews did mistake the rising full moon as one of these
balls of fire. Some reports speculated that these balls of fire were
exhausts from a Japanese development called a Baka Bomb, but exhaust
flames can only be seen from the rear; and these objects appeared to
have the same size and intensity in whatever direction they were
traveling. I have never heard of any official assessment as to what
these objects were. I had an occasion to ask General <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis%5FLeMay">LeMay</a> about them
several years after the war and he had no explanation. I am sure that
what I saw was neither Venus nor the moon nor a Baka Bomb.”<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 7/1945<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Selfridge Field; Selfridge Air National
Guard Base; Mount Clemens, Michigan<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> When several balloon-shaped objects appear
above Selfridge Field [now Selfridge Air National Guard Base] near Mount
Clemens, Michigan, the base commander asks for a volunteer to attack
them as possible Japanese balloon bombs. Jean Kisling, serving with a
Free French Air Force detachment as an instructor on P-47 Thunderbolts,
accepts the challenge. He chases one “well beyond the service ceiling of
the P-47D” and opens fire with 8 machine guns. The object shoots away
sideways on edge, leaving a contrail.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 5:00 a.m. Ilona Johansson-Paasonen,
staying in a sauna along lake Längelmävesi, Finland, wakes up and sees a
35-foot dazzling ball of fire streaking in her direction along the
opposite shore. She throws herself to the floor, but when nothing
happens she looks outside and sees a big dog, frozen in terror, its gaze
fixed on the lake and a dark log-like object, 6 feet long, gliding
through the water with a tall, slender man at the prow. He is dressed in
a green coverall. On the other side another man sits steering an engine
enclosed within a big glass bulb.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 8:15 a.m. An atomic bomb (a fission weapon
containing 64 kilograms of Uranium-235, Little Boy) is detonated 1,900
feet above Hiroshima, Japan, by the <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enola%5FGay">Enola Gay</a>. The
weapon is considered very inefficient, with only 1.7% of its material
fissioning, but it is enough to obliterate the city. Some 78,000 people
die instantly or immediately afterward in the firestorm. By the end of
the year, another 25,000 will also sicken and die from radiation
exposure.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 8/21/1945<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Manhattan Project; Omega Site; Los Alamos
Laboratory; New Mexico<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Manhattan Project physicist <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry%5FDaghlian">Harry
Daghlian</a> is conducting an after-hours experiment at the remote Omega
Site of the Los Alamos Laboratory in New Mexico when his hand slips. The
test assembly he has built—a ball of plutonium surrounded by tungsten
carbide bricks—goes critical. He sees a momentary blue flash and is
struck by a wave of gamma and neutron radiation amounting to more than
500 rem. He disassembles the experiment, walks away, and admits himself
to medical care. He falls into a coma and dies on September 15, the
first person to die accidentally from close exposure to nuclear
fission.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> On this day Leonard H. Stringfield was
flying to Iwo Jima island onboard a U.S. Army Air Force C-46 shortly

follow his C-46 transport plane as they approached the island in the
Pacific. The plane’s engines faltered, its magnetic compass failed, and
its engines temporarily stopped. There were thirteen military witnesses
on board. Len Stringfield became a life long UFO investigator as a
result of this encounter.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 12/5/1945<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Atlantic Ocean;
Florida Keys; off the coast of Florida<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> A training flight (Flight 19) of five TBM
Avenger torpedo bombers disappears while over the Atlantic Ocean. The
squadron’s flight plan is scheduled to take them due east from Fort
Lauderdale, Florida, for 141 miles, north for 73 miles, and then back
over a final 140-mile leg to complete the exercise. The flight never
returns to base. A report by Navy investigators concludes that flight
leader Lt. <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/7071436/charles-carroll-taylor">Charles
C. Taylor</a> mistook small islands offshore for the Florida Keys after
his compasses stopped working, resulting in the flight heading over open
sea and away from land. The report is later amended by the Navy to read
“cause unknown” to avoid blaming Taylor for the loss of five aircraft
and 14 men. One of the search-and-rescue aircraft deployed to look for
them, a PBM Mariner with a 13-man crew, also disappears. The report
attributes the loss of the PBM aircraft to an explosion in midair while
searching for the flight. According to contemporaneous sources, the
Mariner has a history of explosions due to vapor leaks when heavily
loaded with fuel, as it might have been for a potentially long
search-and-rescue operation. A tanker off the coast of Florida sees an
explosion and a widespread oil slick when fruitlessly searching for
survivors. The weather is becoming stormy by the end of the incident.
None of the Avenger bombers have been found.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> On this fateful day six U.S. Army Air
Force planes, which took off from Fort Lauderdale Naval Air Station,
Florida disappeared into the Atlantic Ocean Bermuda Triangle. Flight 19,
a formation of five TBM avengers became disoriented while flying
northeast from Fort Lauderdale, and made increasingly frantic radio
calls announcing they were lost and calling for assistance. A huge
rescue search operation caused more aboard a Martin Mariner sea rescue
plane to be lost.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 1946<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Westerham, Kent, England; Croydon<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> A farmer named Gunyon in Westerham, Kent,
England, calls the British Technical Intelligence staff asking that the
Air Ministry come and remove one of these “darned contraptions” which
has fallen on his farm. The intelligence officers ask for directions and
are told to drive from Croydon to Westerham, turning onto a lane when
they reach a pub called The White Dog. Amid great security, two staff
cars are dispatched, but fail to find the farm. They locate a pub called
The White Hart and a farmer named Bunyan, who strenuously denies having
made the call. Although the incident appears to be a hoax, few people
can reach the Technical Intelligence staff and convince them to make a
field visit. Indeed, the intelligence officers believe that former Air
Intelligence scientist <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reginald%5FVictor%5FJones">Reginald
Victor Jones</a>, who has been skeptical of foo fighters and ghost
rockets, is behind the affair. Jones writes that a signal is received
from Gen. <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas%5FMacArthur">Douglas
MacArthur</a>’s staff in Tokyo, asking for confirmation of a report that
a Russian flying bomb had recently crashed in England. The other
Director of Intelligence on the Air Staff, Air Commodore Roland Eugene
Vintras, suggests to Jones that this might tie in with the “Westerham
Incident.”<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 6:00 p.m. João Prestes is returning on
foot from a fishery on the banks of the Tietê River to his sister’s home
in Araçariguama, São Paulo, Brazil. As he is entering the house, a light
from outside strikes and envelopes him. He becomes dizzy and confused
but manages to get up and go inside. He summons Araci Gomide, a nurse
who has served in the military with him. Gomide describes his friend as
being literally cooked, with his flesh detaching from his bones,
injuries on his feet and ankles, and his feet clenched like the claws of
a bird. His arms are burned and the flesh on his fingers is falling off.
His chest, neck, and face also seem to be burned but not charred or red.
Prestes dies on the way to a hospital in Santana di Parnaíba at 3:00
a.m.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Sr. Joao Prestes Filho, age 40, had
anticipated an uneventful day of fishing in Aracariguama, Sao Paulo
State, Brazil but he returned home at 7:30 p.m., terrified by his
encounter with a beam of light that came from the sky and struck him
without warning nor any noise. He went into his house saying that he had
been hit by a silent beam of light, which stunned him and knocked him to
the ground. A little while later his flesh looked like it had been
cooked, as if it had been exposed to intense microwave energy, and
started a rapid deterioration. He died from the effects.<br />

to become founder and owner of Cernelle AB, is walking in the forested
area of Kronoskagen near Ängelholm, Sweden, when he sees a disc-shaped
machine more than 50 feet in diameter. On the top is a cupola with oval
windows, and beneath it are an oblong “fan,” two legs, a small ladder,
and openings. A man dressed in a white, one-piece outfit gestures to
Carlsson to stop. Two other occupants, three of them women, all wearing
suits and transparent helmets, are nearby. One of the males points a
boxlike device at the witness, who leaves the scene but returns by a
different route 30 minutes later, just in time to see the UFO depart. A
concrete model of the UFO is dedicated in 1963 as a memorial.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> Summer 1946<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> Johannesburg, South Africa<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Late evening. Two women on a walk in
Johannesburg, South Africa, see an aerial object hovering 5 feet above
the roof of a nearby hotel. It is shaped like a saucer with a round,
golden ball in the center, evenly split between the top and bottom
sections. They hear a clicking noise, and the ball drops through the
saucer until it is level with the roof. More clicks are heard, and the
ball rises through and above the saucer 8–9 feet. In the space between
the ball and the disc the witnesses see two figures larger than normal
height (7 feet), fair-complexioned and broad-shouldered, with short wavy
hair. They are wearing white uniforms with stiff collars and stand
motionless until the object floats away and is lost to view.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Able nuclear test, Bikini Atoll, Marshall
Islands. Radio-controlled autopilots are installed in eight B-17
bombers, converting them into remote-controlled drones that are then
loaded with automatic cameras, radiation detectors, and air sample
collectors. Their pilots operate them from mother planes at a safe
distance from the detonation. The drones can fly into Able’s mushroom
cloud, which would have been lethal to crew members.<br />

Asa Reuterswärd</a> take a photo of a greenish-white daylight meteor by
a lake at Guldsmedshyttan, northwest of Lindesberg, Sweden. They are
atop a forest watchtower and have a good view of the object. The image
is circulated to newspapers throughout Sweden; however, the photo
probably shows an unusual daylight meteor, not a ghost rocket.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Norrvikssand, Sweden; Kubikenborg<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> A brilliantly glowing projectile trailing
luminous smoke crashes into a beach near Norrvikssand, Sweden. Airline
pilot Torvald Linden and other witnesses find a shallow crater a little
more than 3 feet in diameter. A mass of slag-like material, some of it
reduced to powder (which burns the hands when touched) is found at the
site and collected into bags. A journalist from Svenska Dagbladet on
July 11 finds a “burnt-brown object with a hollow cylinder” with a
diameter of about 1–2 inches. Military authorities take over the site.
The debris is taken to Dr. B. Backlund at a laboratory in Kubikenborg,
who finds it contains paper with microscopic black-and-white squares
like a screen. Some porous, rust-colored fragments are also present. The
same day, the beach is visited by Lt. Col. <a
href="https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik%5FRudberg%5F%28milit%C3%A4r%29">Rudberg</a>,
Capt. C. Ljungdahl, and Capt. R. Westlin, who conclude that the material
has been in the area for a long time.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 12:00 noon. Sigvat Skaug and his son, who
live along Lake Mjøsa in southeastern Norway, and his sister Åse
Tandberg watch two rocket-like objects about 7 feet long pass over their
heads at a very low altitude. They fall simultaneously into the lake,
throwing the water several feet into the air. The objects look like V-1
rockets and come in low from the west at about 150 feet, causing the
trees to sway. They fall into the lake about 1.2 miles from the western
shore and 4.3 miles from Minnesund.<br />

detonated. Military officers from Boden investigate, but the lake is too
muddy to send in a diver. They conclude that whatever fell is buried in
15 feet of mud.<br />

<strong>Location:</strong> Lake Kölmjärv, Sweden<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 11:45 a.m. Many witnesses see a gray,
winged rocket crash into Lake Kölmjärv, Sweden, with a loud bang close
to the southwest bank. Knut Lindbäck says it generates a high plume of
water when it hits the surface, “followed by another cascade as if
something had detonated.” Water lilies and other aquatic plants are torn
up and thrown on the shore. Lieut. Karl-Gösta Bartoll from the Boden
engineer corps arrives the next day to supervise the salvage operation.
Engineers Roland Rynniger and lab technician Torsten Wilner from the
Defense Research Department also arrive with a Geiger counter. A
three-week search turns up no traces of metal, even though the evidence
points to an underwater explosion.<br />

the Atomic Energy Act, transferring the control of atomic energy from
military to civilian hands, effective on January 1, 1947. It categorizes
information on atomic energy as “born classified,” even if it is not
created by any US government agency. “Restricted Data” is not a level of
classification; rather, a document can be classified as Confidential,
Secret, or Top Secret, while also containing Restricted Data. In
addition, a document containing Restricted Data can also contain
Critical Nuclear Weapon Design Information. In this way, a document can
be classified as Secret (S), Secret//Restricted Data (S//RD), or
Secret//Restricted Data- Critical Nuclear Weapon Design Information
(S//RD-CNWDI), depending on the type of information it contains.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> At 6:00 p.m. three military witnesses
including the pilot named Puckett, flying in a twin engine C-47
transport 40 miles north of Tampa, Florida at 4,000 feet altitude,
sighted a cylinder-shaped UFO with luminous portholes that flew in front
of the plane. The cylinder was about twice the size of a B-29, and
approached to within 1,000 yards. It covered 75 miles in three minutes
and appeared on a collision course with the aircraft. The stream of
fiery exhaust from the craft was about half the length of the unknown
object.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> central Sweden; southern Sweden;
Stockholm<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 9:00–10:00 p.m. Hundreds of people in
central and southern Sweden see “ghost bombs” that fly from south to
north, giving off a brilliant blue-white light. Sometimes two of the
objects are seen flying together. Some witnesses see smaller silver
balls come out of the larger objects, which are variously described as
cylinders and torpedoes with a “wide nose” and “fire-spurting tail.”
Stockholm is said to be “near the boiling point” with ghost rocket
speculation.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 10:02 a.m. Swedish Air Force pilot Lieut.
Gunnar Irholm and his signaler, Cpl. Möller, are flying a B-18A bomber
at 650 feet 4 miles northeast of Malingsbo in central Sweden when they
see a dark cigar-shaped object approaching on their left. It has no
visible wings, rudders, lights, flame or projections of any type. It
appears to follow the terrain at 370–430 mph, maintaining the same
height, then vanishes into a storm cloud.<br />

interested in asking the two generals advice and, if possible, would
place all available reports before them.” However, Doolittle denies the

<strong>Location:</strong> Scandinavia<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> The scientific advisor to MI6, English
physicist <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reginald%5FVictor%5FJones">Reginald
Victor Jones</a>, considers the ghost rockets a social panic phenomenon.
An RAF Intelligence report, “Investigation of Reported Missile Activity
over Scandinavia,” identifies eight types of ghost rocket sightings:
iron cylinder, magnesium-like light, white core surrounded by
blue-green, shining ball with tail, torpedo-shape, black object with
flame, small rocket, small missile. It takes the daytime reports
seriously but concludes are probably only a few genuine reports of
actual missiles.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> Fall 1946<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> O’Neill, Nebraska; farm 8 miles north of
O’Neill, Nebraska<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 9:00 p.m. Gladys McCage and her 4-year-old
son see a yellowish-orange light coming from the northwest at a
“terrific speed” toward their farm 8 miles north of O’Neill, Nebraska.
Its color changes to red as it approaches, and soon it is hovering above
the witnesses. They run toward the house and the cigar-shaped object
swings up to the northeast. McCage says it is as big as a football

Adamski</a> and some associates are watching a meteor shower associated
with Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner when they see a “gigantic spacecraft”

the object was indeed from another world. Others in San Diego see an
object with a long, tube-shaped fuselage, giant wings, and two red
lights. The medium <a

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 1/17/1947<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Neatishead, northeast of Norwich, England;
North Sea<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 11:37 p.m. After two unidentified targets
similar to yesterday’s are reported by RAF Neatishead, northeast of
Norwich, England, over the North Sea, another radar track enters the
Eastern Sector area, and an RAF Mosquito piloted by Flight Lt. William
Kent is scrambled to 18,000 feet. Kent attempts to close in, but his
onboard radar is unable to keep it on track because the target is
“jerking violently” and taking evasive action. After 20 minutes, the
target descends below 2,000 feet and is lost from ground radar.
Unofficially the radar operators give the intruder a name—Charlie—and
when the Air Ministry later begins a concerted effort to solve the
mystery, its code name is “Operation Charlie.”<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Capt. J. B. Pearson Jr., US naval attaché
in London, England, sends an intelligence report to the Chief of Naval
Intelligence about his conversation with Col. Westergard, head of the
Airplane Design Section for the Swedish Air Ministry. Westergard tells
him some 40% of the 1,000 ghost rocket sightings are “reliable.” They
seem to originate in Peenemünde, Germany, and fly toward Finland. The
best observation is from an artillery officer who sees an object in his
optical range finder and follows it for about 90 seconds. It is in level
flight at 4.5 miles distance and is about 36 feet long and torpedo
shaped.<br />

<strong>Location:</strong> Tucson, Arizona<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 12:05 p.m. Mrs. William Down and Mrs. H.
G. Olavick of Tucson, Arizona, see an unusual, fleecy cloud in an
otherwise cloudless sky. Moving around it in “yo-yo fashion” are a
number of small discs with a dull-white finish. They move up and down
and sideways, occasionally disappearing into or behind the cloud. They
watch the objects for 5–7 minutes, then all the discs disappear above
the cloud, while a larger object emerges from the cloud and moves
eastward. Behind it comes a V-formation of nine of the smaller discs,
which then climbs at high speed toward the northeast and disappears in
2–3 seconds. The witnesses assume the objects are some new type of
aircraft.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> A former military photographer claimed
that a UFO, 30-40 feet in diameter and about 15 feet in height, crashed
near the area of Socorro, New Mexico and was recovered on this day. One
occupant of the craft was killed in the crash, while three others
allegedly emerged alive. When they were found by the U.S. military, the
survivors reportedly made crying-like sounds and clutched box-like
devices to their chests. One of them appeared to be injured. The
occupants were of small height and had copper based blood. This object
was reportedly eventually sent to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near
Dayton, Ohio, and ended up at the “Hangar 18” facility.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 6/9/1947<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> eastern Siberia; U.S.<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> A still-unlocated air intelligence summary
is released, alleging that the Soviets in eastern Siberia are producing
(or may be able to produce) 1,400 (or 1,800) aircraft based on the <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horten%5Fbrothers">Horten
brothers</a>’ VIII-type, low-aspect, disc- shaped design by 1952. A
Russian aviation historian thinks that the factories in question are at
the time producing copies of the German Messerschmidt Me 262 jet
fighter. A correct, more detailed summary of the intelligence report is
published in December 1948 in Air Intelligence Report Number 100-203-79,
“Analysis of Flying Object Incidents in the U.S.”<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Eugene, Oregon; Skinner’s Butte<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Day. E. H. Sprinkle is one of a half-dozen
Eugene, Oregon, residents who spot a formation of round objects “racing
overhead” on a course to the northeast. Watching from Skinner’s Butte
outside town. Sprinkle takes a snapshot of the objects with an
inexpensive camera as they race over. Enlargements of the photograph
show “seven dots” in a formation “shaped like an X or a Y, lined up
across the sky.” Newspaper photographers say the dots “might be a fault
in the developing process” that sometimes appears on a negative that has
not been agitated properly in the developer.<br />

<strong>Location:</strong> Maury Island, Washington<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Log salvager <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/125878620/harold-albert-dahl">Harold
A. Dahl</a> is patrolling east of Maury Island, Washington, with his
15-year-old son Charles and two crewmen when he allegedly sees six
doughnut-shaped objects. Five of them are circling the sixth, which
seems distressed. When it is directly above the boat at 500 feet, it
supposedly spews some hot slag-like material that breaks Charles’s arm
and kills his dog. Dahl claims he filmed the objects.<br />

(D643C924)</h3>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 6/21/1947<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Harold A. Dahl, his son, and others on
board a boat allegedly saw six donut-shaped objects, 30 meters in
diameter, metallic with dark openings, over a bay next to Maury Island
on Puget Sound, Washington. One of the UFOs exploded, showered the
witnesses with a slag-like metal. This case has been widely regarded as
a hoax because of some deliberate deception of UFO investigator Kenneth
Arnold by a shadowy con man named Chrisman who claimed to have been
involved, but there are still unexplained elements to this case.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Evening. Yale University astrophysicist <a

Spitzer</a> is speaking on WTIC radio in Hartford, Connecticut, and
speculates that if life on Mars developed a bit earlier than on earth,
it is possible that Martians have been civilized for millions of years.
“Unless they had spent some time in a large city or had landed
sufficiently recently to be photographed, we would have no record of
their being here,” he says, and that “any few men who had seen them
would probably not be believed by anyone else.”<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> In 1947 during the beginning days of the
great UFO wave of 1947, a rapidly moving, round, silvery-white object
was seen at 11:30 a.m. in the town of Greenfield, Massachusetts. It was
one of the early cases secretly investigated by the FBI. Later that same
day, at 1 o’clock in the afternoon, Mr. Hammond and his son were
vacationing in Radium Springs, New Mexico and saw a “flying pie-plate”
disc while swimming.<br />

“They looked like ten shiny, disc-shaped things. They were very, very

north of Pendleton, Oregon, when he hears a loud humming sound. Coming

the object. The figures suddenly vanish, and the craft then shoots
towards the Columbia River, makes a big circle, and flies towards the

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 6/24/1947<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> Joliet, Illinois<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 1:50 p.m. Railroad engineer Charles Kastl
sees 9 or 10 spinning discs in the air about 12 miles east of Joliet,
Illinois. They are a string of flat circular objects “going faster than
anything I’ve ever seen.” Kastl can see no connecting link between them,
but they act as though the leading disc has a motor in it to power the
others, because when it flips, the others do as well. When it rights
itself, the others also right themselves.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 6/24/1947<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Boise, Idaho; Chehalis, Washington; Yakima,
Washington; Mount Rainier, Washington; Mount Adams, Washington;
Pendleton, Oregon<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 3:00 p.m. Boise, Idaho, businessman <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth%5FArnold">Kenneth
Arnold</a>, flying his CallAir Model A-2 from Chehalis to Yakima,
Washington, sees a string of nine objects flying in an echelon formation
past Mount Rainier, Washington. At first he assumes they are jets, but
he can see no trails. They cover the 50-mile distance between Rainier
and another peak in 1 minute 42 seconds. He estimates their speed to be
at least 1,200 mph. The objects swerve in and out of the smaller peaks,
flipping from side to side in unison, dipping, and presenting their
lateral surfaces, which reflect the bright sunlight and cause the
flashes he saw earlier. They are in view for about two and a half
minutes and are last seen heading south over the last high peak of Mount
Adams. Arnold tells the airport staff about it in Yakima at 4:00 p.m.
and they call ahead to Pendleton, Oregon, to alert them of Arnold’s
arrival at an air show and his story. A large crowd awaits him, and a
discussion follows. The consensus is that Arnold has seen guided
missiles. But no such technology exists at the time that can match the
objects’ description and performance, and the late 1990s explanation
that Arnold observed a flight of white pelicans is equally improbable.
Researcher <a href="http://www.cufos.org/shough.html">Martin</a> <a
href="http://www.cufos.org/shough.html">Shough</a> concludes in 2010:
“Examination of the sighting report in detail improves its evident
internal consistency, rather than degrading it, and study of the
principal contending explanations reveals that they are each very much
less attractive when tried out in quantitative detail against the best
information than they may appear at first sight.”<br />

<strong>Location:</strong> Mount Adams, Oregon<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Afternoon. Fred M. Johnson, a prospector
in the Mount Adams, Oregon, area, sees 5-6 oval objects with tails about
30 feet in diameter. He watches one through a telescope. They are not
flying in any sort of formation and as they bank in a turn, the sunlight
flashes off them. As they approach, Johnson notices that his compass
begins to spin wildly. When the objects finally vanish in the distance,
the compass returns to normal. Johnson’s report is the very first
“unidentified” case in the Project Sign files.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 6/24/1947<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> At 2:58 p.m. Kenneth Arnold, flying his
private plane near Mount Rainier, Washington was attracted by reflected
sunlight from nine distant metallic flying objects. He watched as they
flashed across the sky, one behind the other, “skipping as saucers upon
water.” They tilted back and forth as they flew. One object was
definitely crescent shaped, the others may have been disc shaped or
crescent shaped with a 10 to 1 width to thickness ratio. He clocked them
as they flew past Mount Adams, and calculated that they were flying at a
speed of 1,500 miles per hour and at an altitude of 9,500 feet. When he
landed in Pendleton, Oregon he was interviewed at the local radio
station where the term “flying saucer” was first coined, despite the
fact that the objects he sighted may not have been discs.<br />

says the “saucer-like” objects were racing over the Cascade Mountains
with a peculiar weaving motion “like the tail of a Chinese kite.” Bill
Bequette writes the first saucer news story for the newspaper. He does
not use the term “flying saucer,” but headline writers in other papers
use it (such as the Philadelphia Inquirer on June 26), and reporters
start picking it up.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> In a United Press dispatch from Pendleton,
Oregon, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth%5FArnold">Kenneth
Arnold</a> expresses frustration over the furor that his saucer sighting
has caused. A preacher has called him from Texas to say that the flying
discs are “harbinger of doomsday.” A woman recognizes Arnold in a
Pendleton café and runs out shrieking that he is “the man who saw the
men from Mars.” He says the whole thing has gotten out of hand: “Half
the people I see look at me as a combination Einstein, Flash Gordon, and
screwball. I wonder what my wife back in Idaho thinks.”<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Conclusion to an FBI/ARMY Intelligence
Report: Based on a detailed study of the Kenneth Arnold case (6/24/1947)
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.)<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 7/1/1947<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Roswell Army Air Field, Roswell NM; White
Sands, NM<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Military officials, both officers and the
enlisted technicians had been tracking, on their radar, an unidentified
object in flight over southern New Mexico since July 1. The object had
first appeared over the highly restricted areas near the White Sands
Proving Grounds. On July 2, Steve MacKenzie (a pseudonym, actually Frank
Kaufmann), stationed at <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walker_Air_Force_Base">Roswell Army
Air Field</a>, had received a call from <a
href="https://www.af.mil/About-Us/Biographies/Display/Article/105707/brigadier-general-martin-f-scanlon/">Brigadier
General Martin F. Scanlon</a> of the <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerospace_Defense_Command">Air
Defense Command</a>, ordering him to report to the radar sites at <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Sands_Missile_Range">White
Sands</a>. MacKenzie was to monitor the object’s movements and report
them directly to the general. MacKenzie could not leave the scope
unattended for even the shortest of times. In fact, once he had his
watch established, he set up a system of mirrors so that he could see
the screen even when he needed to use the latrine. MacKenzie stayed at
his post for twenty-four hours straight, but nothing changed. The object
appeared periodically over southern New Mexico, but usually just
“flitting from one location to another.” When MacKenzie reported that
nothing had changed significantly during his twenty-four-hour watch,
Scanlon decided to end MacKenzie’s part of the operation. Although
MacKenzie was ordered back to Roswell, the operators at White Sands were
told to continue to monitor the object, as were the radarmen at Roswell
and Albuquerque. (R.G.: Interestingly, this case was deleted and
“declared a hoax” in NICAP’s records and by K. Randle, but after
re-reading all the relevant research I don’t believe at all that this is
a matter of a simple hoax. It fits into the historical timeline well and
should be re-examined.)<br />

it is steaming through the Mozambique Channel. They notice a star-like
object traveling fast toward the ship. It shines a strong beam of light
on the water within 150 feet of the ship, then descends, the beam
shortening and becoming brighter as it nears the water. Soon the light
switches off and they can see a metallic object that looks like a cigar
with the end cut off. It remains about 20 feet above the sea, moving
parallel with the ship. King estimates it is about four times the length
of the ship and four times as tall. After a few seconds, a large flame
erupts from the rear of the object. It vanishes soundlessly in the
darkness.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> According to <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annie%5FJacobsen">Annie
Jacobsen</a>’s informant, EG&amp;G engineer <a
href="https://obituaries.reviewjournal.com/obituary/alfred-o-donnell-1082038666">Alfred
O’Donnell</a>, the upcoming Roswell, New Mexico, crashes are the result
of a psychological warfare operation by Soviet leader <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph%5FStalin">Joseph
Stalin</a> to fly into US airspace two disc- or wing-shaped aircraft
based on a <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horten%5Fbrothers">Horton
brothers</a> design obtained at the end of World War II. One craft
allegedly contains living dwarves or children (human guinea pigs) who
had been surgically altered using similar methods to those used in
Auschwitz concentration camp by Nazi doctor <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josef%5FMengele">Josef Mengele</a>.
This aircraft is remotely controlled by the crew of the second craft.
The idea is to land the first aircraft in a visible location in the US,
perhaps in Washington, D.C. The children would exit the craft and
present themselves to the highest echelons of the government. However,
the two aircraft crash in the New Mexico desert and, he claims, the
Atomic Energy Commission is put in charge of the remains.<br />

track an object “flitting around” the sky, frequently returning but
finally disappearing on the night of July 4. Much of this story
originates with now-discredited Roswell witness <a

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 7/3/1947<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> San Francisco, CA<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> The first instance of the ET hypothesis to
appear in the media, in a letter by <a
href="https://www.jasoncolavito.com/saucer-mystery-solved.html">Ole
Johannes Sneide 1886-8/31/1947</a>. His letter first appeared in the
<em>San Francisco Chronicle</em>. The flying discs were “oblate spheroid
space ships from the older planets.” “Usually they travel in outer space
with speeds approximating that of light by use of anti-gravity devices
and hyperspace. In our space they travel much slower, and, of course,
become visible either by intent or by accident, for in their travels
they use the invisibility screen.” “This space navigation has been going
on for millions of years, these ‘nova’ having come into our galaxy
originally from the Great Magellanic Cloud via the Lesser Magellanic
Cloud, 47 Tucanae, Omega and Alpha Centauri clusters.” “Their masters
planted the original humanities here and which did not develop sui
generis. They have been absent from our planet since before the fall of
the Roman Empire when the Great Master left earth for the outer galaxy
by fohatic teleportation.” “He is now back and what is going to be done
depends upon mankind, but my advice is that physical man set up no
belligerence, for a small concentration of those disks just beyond the
range of our atmosphere could clean the surface of our planet completely
in a matter of less than 24 hours. “Their present local headquarters is
on the unseen side of our moon. I discovered this by teleportation
visits hither and yon in and between our galaxy.” “Mankind,” he
concluded, “will just have to learn their physics all over again,
someday, if they live. Ah! If they live!”<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that
the Air Research Center at Wright Field, Ohio, and the army intelligence
service are looking into the flying discs. An INS dispatch states that
Commander of the Army Air Force Gen. <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl%5FSpaatz">Carl Spaatz</a> has
asked Wright Field to look into such reports. Air Materiel Command’s Lt.
Gen. <a

href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/39757884/david-n%5F-johnson">David
N. Johnson</a> that officials are indeed looking into the discs and that
Wright Field has no comparable technology. Lieut. <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William%5FCharles%5FAnderson">William
C. Anderson</a>, Wright Field public relations officer, says there is no
confirmation that the discs exist. Maj. <a

Gaynor</a> says the Army Air Force needs more concrete information.
German scientists working at Wright Field are asked about the discs, but
they say they have heard nothing about any such experiments in
Europe.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 5:45 p.m. Farmer Ewen McNeill in Village
Green, east of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, sees a black,
rocket-shaped projectile trailing a blindingly white flame and a smoke
trail pass overhead as he is working his fields. It seems to be flying
at 10,000 feet and is visible for 15 seconds. Around the same time, a
resident of Augustine Cove watches an “object the size of an apple”

<strong>Locations:</strong> Saint Maries, Idaho; St. Joe River; Spokane
Army Air Base; Fairchild AFB<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 6:30 p.m. Mrs. Walter Johnson and her
family see 8–9 discs flying out of the southern sky 6 miles west of
Saint Maries, Idaho, over the St. Joe River. The objects came in “very
fast, slow down jerkily, then flutter to the ground like leaves.”
Mrs. Johnson thinks the objects are about the size of a “five-room
house.” When they reach a clearing in the timber, they appear to “settle
Down” a few at a time. Mrs. Johnson reports the sighting to intelligence
officers at the Spokane Army Air Base [now Fairchild AFB], and an
intensive air search is carried out by two missions of the National
Guard’s 116th Fighter Group. Local sheriff’s deputies also make a ground
search, but no traces of alanding can be found.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> There are 35 unexplained UFO, USO
(unidentified submarine object), and humanoid reports for this day in
UFOCAT, including the alleged discovery of the famous Roswell debris
field by Mac Brazel on a ranch near Corona, New Mexico and the discovery
of a crashed disc by Barney Barnett in an arroyo near Magdelena, New
Mexico. A cluster of three reports came from around Cincinnati, Ohio
between 10:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. A cluster of another three reports came
from Prince Edward Island, Canada at 5:45 p.m. including the sighting of
a black cigar-shaped object in Charlottetown. There was a third cluster
of sightings from Sonoma County, California where a forest fire lookout
in Fort Ross saw what looked like a burning ship sink slowly into the
Pacific Ocean where no ship was reported missing. There was a fourth
cluster of three sightings between Baltimore, Maryland and Washington,
DC.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Harborside, Maine - John F. Cole, an
astronomer, watched a series of objects that gave off a roaring noise at
2:30 in the afternoon from Harborside, south of Brooksville, Maine. The
objects were in the north and were proceeding northwest at a high speed.
He estimated their diameter at 100 feet. Calling the report an
“unusually well-supported incident,” the Air Force had no explanation.
However, years later the Air Materiel Command publicly explained the
event as “birds or insects”. This sighting was also one of the 1947
cases investigated by the FBI.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 7/4/1947<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> San Francisco, California<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> The United Press service rounds up
theories about the flying discs. It quotes Army Air Force “experts”
saying that the sightings might be caused by weather conditions, or
meteorites, or foreign aircraft that it is “our responsibility to know
about it and take proper action.” Occultist Ole J. Sneide from San
Francisco, California, thinks they are “oblate spheroid space ships from
other planets” with hidden bases on the dark side of the moon. This is
apparently the first public mention of an extraterrestrial origin for
flying saucers in the media.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 5:00 a.m. Archaeologists, including <a

A. Wilcox</a> of the discovery of the remains of a crashed aircraft of
some kind. Wilcox calls the local fire department to alert them about
the crash. One truck, with <a
href="https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/rw/w/dandwyer.htm">Dan
Dwyer</a> on it, responds to the call. The site is about 35–40 miles
north of Roswell. The Roswell Fire Department, escorted by members of
the Roswell Police Department, makes a run along Pine Lodge Road
northwest of Roswell. They are among the first civilians to stumble
across the impact site.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 7/5/1947<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Roswell Army Air Field in New Mexico; US
Highway 285; Frankfurt, Germany<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 5:30 a.m. According to discredited Roswell
witness <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/13371870/frank-j-kaufmann">Frank
Kaufmann</a>, a small contingent of men from Roswell Army Air Field in
New Mexico drive north on what is now US Highway 285. Near mile marker
132, they turn off the road and began driving across the desert,
stopping from time to time to cut the barbed-wire fencing. They discover
a heel-shaped craft measuring about 25 feet long and 12 feet wide
embedded in a cliff. The soldiers find civilians on the site already.
Besides the archaeologists, a local man named Larry Campbell (later
called Jack Armstrong or Cactus Jack) also claims to have been there.
They escort them off while others secure the area. Five bodies are
allegedly found on the site. The impact site is cleaned and secured by
11:30 a.m. <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annie%5FJacobsen">Annie
Jacobsen</a> has interviewed <a
href="https://obituaries.reviewjournal.com/obituary/alfred-o-donnell-1082038666">Alfred
O’Donnell</a>, later an engineer at EG&amp;G, who tells her that one of
the objects crashed and was recovered by the Joint Chiefs, including the
airframe, propulsion equipment, and the power plant. It has no wings or
tail. The fuselage is round and there is a dome on top. Inside there are
Cyrillic letters stamped or embossed in a ring running around the
inside. Army intelligence officers suspect that the craft is the
brainchild of German airplane engineers, <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horten%5Fbrothers">Walter and Reimar
Horten</a>, working for the Russian military. A frantic search to find
what happened to the brothers allegedly takes place; informants like
Austrian physicist <a

Frankfurt, Germany, provide leads, with confusing results for several
months.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 7/5/1947<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Roswell Army Air Field; Fort Stanton;
Lincoln, New Mexico; Albuquerque; Fort Stanton cemetery<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 10:00 a.m. W/O Robert Thomas and his crew
proceed to the impact site. The bodies, originally covered by sheets,
are now in lead-lined body bags. Only those with the highest clearance
are allowed close to the center of the impact. Guards are posted, facing
out, to keep the curious away. According to researcher Kathy Kasten, the
dead bodies are taken to Roswell Army Air Field, but one is still alive
and taken to Fort Stanton [now closed] in Lincoln, New Mexico, whose
Marine Hospital was used to confine troublesome German and Japanese
detainees during World War II. Allegedly, aerospace physician <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William%5FRandolph%5FLovelace%5FII">William
Randolph Lovelace II</a> travels there from Albuquerque to examine the
survivor, who reportedly dies one week later and is buried in the Fort

(2DD935BB)</h3>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 7/5/1947<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> J. B. Foster ranch house southeast of Corona,
New Mexico<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Following the rain the night before, <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/9454979/william-ware-brazel">Brazel</a> inspects
the pastures surrounding the J. B. Foster ranch house southeast of
Corona, New Mexico. Riding with him is the young son of the Proctors, <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/80134486/william-d-proctor">William
D. Proctor</a>. During the inspection, Brazel discovers a large debris
field. Scattered on the slopes and into the sinkhole and depressions are
plastic-like beams, pieces of lightweight balsawood-like material only
stronger, light metallic foil (which doesn’t stay bent or folded,
resumes its original shape, and won’t tear), and heavy-gauge
monofilament. The debris is thick enough that the sheep refuse to cross
the field and are driven around it to water more than a mile away.
Brazel, taking a few scraps of the material, heads to the home of his
closest neighbors, <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/99049640/floyd-proctor">Floyd</a> and
<a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/144211794/susan-loretta-proctor%5Fhodges">Loretta</a> <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/144211794/susan-loretta-proctor%5Fhodges">Proctor</a><a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/144211794/susan-loretta-proctor%5Fhodges">.</a> He
shows them “a little sliver” of material that he can neither burn nor
cut. Some of the beams have symbols on them that reminds Brazel of
Chinese ideograms. The Proctors suggest he take it into town to show the
sheriff.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Roswell, New Mexico; Roswell Army Air Field;
Brazel’s ranch<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/9454979/william-ware-brazel">Brazel</a> gets
up early, completes his chores, and then drives into Roswell, New
Mexico, about 75 miles away. He stops at the office of Sheriff <a
href="https://www.rdrnews.com/2018/11/12/a-sheriff-without-a-gun-memoirs-of-a-sheriffs-wife/">George
A. Wilcox</a><a
href="https://www.rdrnews.com/2018/11/12/a-sheriff-without-a-gun-memoirs-of-a-sheriffs-wife/">.</a> Contrary
to published reports, Wilcox is excited about the find and suggests the
military at the Roswell Army Air Field [now closed] be notified. While
waiting for the military officers to arrive, Wilcox dispatches two of
his deputies to the ranch. They have only the directions given by
Brazel, but both men are familiar with the territory; and Wilcox
believes they will be able to find the debris field. KGFL reporter Frank
Joyce calls Wilcox, who tells him Brazel is in his office with an
interesting story. Brazel allegedly gets on the phone with Joyce and
mentions debris and a stench from dead bodies.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Afternoon. Francis Howell and his wife are
in their yard at 317 Ash Street in Tempe, Arizona, when they see an
object floating down to the ground with a kite-like motion. It appears
to be about 2 feet across and made of aluminum. It disappears behind
some trees. The Howells and some neighbors walk toward the place where
it apparently has landed, and they see the disc ascend at a 45° angle
and move at high speed toward the northwest.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 7/6/1947<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Roswell AAF; Ranch; Fort Worth Army Air
Field; Washington, D.C.<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Colonel <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William%5FH.%5FBlanchard">William H.
Blanchard</a>, Roswell AAF commanding officer, entrusted with oversight
of the first and only atomic-bomb strike force in the world, the 509th
Bomb Group, orders <a
href="https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/rw/w/jessemarcel.htm">Jesse A.
Marcel</a>, the air intelligence officer, to investigate the debris
report. Marcel immediately drives to the sheriff’s office. Marcel
interviews <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/9454979/william-ware-brazel">Brazel</a><a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/9454979/william-ware-brazel">,</a> examines
the pieces of the material that Brazel brought in, and decides he had
better visit the ranch to examine the field for himself. Marcel, taking
some of the debris with him, returns to the base and reports to
Blanchard on what he has seen. Blanchard, convinced that he is in
possession of something highly unusual, perhaps Soviet, alerts the next
higher headquarters. Marcel and Blanchard all know this is from not any
type of balloon. Marcel returns to the sheriff’s office with the senior
counterintelligence agent assigned to the base, CIC Captain <a

escort Brazel back to his ranch and examine the debris field. Acting on
orders from Major General <a

McMullen</a><a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clements%5FMcMullen">,</a> deputy
commander of the Strategic Air Command, Blanchard obtains more of the
debris from the sheriff’s office. It is sealed in a courier pouch and
loaded on an airplane to be flown on to the Fort Worth Army Air Field,
where it is given to Colonel <a
href="https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/rw/w/thomasdubose.htm">Thomas J.
DuBose</a> for transport on to Washington, D.C. After Marcel and Cavitt
leave with Brazel, the two deputies return to say they did not find the
debris field but observed a burned area in one of the pastures. There
the sand has been turned to glass and blackened. It looks as if
something circular has touched down.<br />

Brazel has stored in the cattle shed. He detects no sign of

<strong>Description:</strong> <a

<a

<a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/177397132/sheridan-wear-cavitt">Cavitt</a> out
to the debris field. It is three-quarters of a mile long and 200–300
feet wide. A gouge starting at the northern end of it extends for
400–500 feet toward the other end. It looks as if something has touched
down and skipped along. The largest piece of debris is recovered at the
southern edge of the gouge. The debris is as thin as newsprint, but
incredibly strong. There is foil that, when crumpled, unfolds itself
without a sign of a wrinkle, I-beams that flex slightly and have some
symbols on them, and material resembling Bakelite. Marcel and Cavitt
walk the perimeter of the field and then range out looking for more
details or another crash site but find nothing else. Finally, they
return and spend the remainder of the day collecting debris. They load
the rear of Marcel’s car and then the jeep carryall driven by Cavitt.
About dusk they begin the trip back to Roswell.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 11:30 a.m. Flight instructor Kenneth Jones
out of Elkhart, Wisconsin, is practicing take-offs and landings with a
student near Koshkonong. They watch a disc descending vertically on edge
through the alto-cumulus clouds at 6,000 feet, stop at 4,000 feet,
assume a horizontal orientation, and fly horizontally for 15 seconds,
covering 23 miles at 5,500 mph. At one point it heads straight towards
them on a course of about 120°, then stops again (apparently overhead)
and disappears.<br />

sightings take place at Muroc AFB [now Edwards AFB] in southern
California, the Air Force’s aircraft testing and development center. <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward%5FJ.%5FRuppelt">Ruppelt</a> says
these are the first sightings “that really made the Air Force take a
deep interest in UFOs.” At 9:30 a.m., 1st Lt. <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/69719785/joseph-charles-mchenry">Joseph
C. McHenry</a> and three others see three discs heading in a westerly
direction. At 10:10 a.m., XP-84 test pilot Maj. <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/41163741/jowell-clark-wise">Jowell
C. Wise</a> sees a yellowish-white object at 10,000 feet traveling about
200 mph. At 11:50 a.m., Maj. <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/197896549/richard-raymond-shoop">Richard
R. Shoop</a>, Col. S. A. Gilkey, and Capt. <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John%5FStapp">John P. Stapp</a> are
sitting in an observation truck at Rogers Dry Lake and see a round,
white aluminum-like object descending from 20,000 feet for about 90
seconds; it has two knobs or thick fins on the top. Around 4:00 p.m., a
pilot flying an F-51 some 40 miles south of Muroc sees a “flat object of
a light-reflecting nature”; it is flying too high for him to climb up to
it. At 9:20 p.m., spherical objects are again seen in the area, this
time at 8,000 feet and moving against the wind at 300 mph.<br />

Field, Dayton, Ohio; Corona, New Mexico; Roswell, New Mexico<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 1:00 p.m. <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/19717326/jesse-antoine-marcel">Marcel</a> goes
on a B-29 special flight (the second) to Fort Worth Army Air Field,
Texas, with the wreckage to report to Gen. <a
href="https://www.af.mil/About-Us/Biographies/Display/Article/1686367/lt-gen-roger-m-ramey/">Roger
M. Ramey</a>. The pilot is Lt. Col. <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payne%5FJennings%5FJr">Payne
Jennings Jr.</a> with Lt. Col. <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/81472407/robert-ivan-barrowclough">Robert</a> <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/81472407/robert-ivan-barrowclough">Barrowclough</a> riding
in the bombardier’s seat. Only a few packages are loaded onto the plane.
One, a triangular package about two feet long, is wrapped in brown
paper. The other three are about the size of shoe boxes. They are so
light that it feels as if there is nothing in them. When it lands in
Fort Worth, the enlisted soldiers on the plane are ordered to remain
aboard until a guard is posted and Marcel gets off taking one of the
packages that he has been carrying on his lap. According to Flight
Engineer M/Sgt. <a
href="https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/rw/w/robertporter.htm">Robert
Porter</a>, the soldiers go to the mess hall once the guard is posted.
The remaining debris is transferred to a B-25 that is flying to Wright
Field in Dayton, Ohio. Marcel goes to Ramey’s office and puts the
package on his desk. They both go to a map room, where Marcel shows him
where the debris was found. When they return to Ramey’s office, Marcel
sees that the package he brought has been substituted by a torn-up
weather balloon. Ramey proposes a plan that possibly originates from his
bosses at the Pentagon. Attention needs to be diverted from the more
important impact site north of Roswell by acknowledging the Corona
location. Too many civilians are involved, and the press is already
alerted.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Roswell; Fort Worth, Texas<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 4:30 p.m. The Roswell Daily Record carries
the “RAAF Captures Flying Saucer” story. In Fort Worth, Texas, <a
href="https://www.af.mil/About-Us/Biographies/Display/Article/1686367/lt-gen-roger-m-ramey/">Ramey</a> issues
a statement saying the Roswell officers were fooled and that the
material is a Rawin target device suspended by a Neoprene rubber
balloon. (“Rawin” is a method of determining wind speed and direction by
using radar or radio waves to track a balloon carrying either a
radar-sensitive target or radio transponder.). The debris is switched
for the newspaper photographer, <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/47401399/james-bond-johnson">James
Bond Johnson</a>, at a press conference held by Ramey and Col. <a
href="https://ufologie.patrickgross.org/rw/w/thomasdubose.htm">Thomas J.
DuBose</a> in late afternoon. Johnson takes six photos of the debris and
leaves after 20 minutes. One of the photos shows Ramey holding a piece
of paper (the “Ramey memo”) with words written on it; unfortunately, the
resolution is inadequate to decisively “deblur” the text using modern
technological methods. A weather officer, Maj. <a
href="https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/sanantonio/obituary.aspx?n=irving-newton&amp;pid=134553090">Irving
Newton</a><a
href="https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/sanantonio/obituary.aspx?n=irving-newton&amp;pid=134553090">,</a> is
called in to identify the debris as from a balloon. A photo of Newton
with the debris is taken by another photographer.<br />

(80987B71)</h3>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 7/8/1947<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> There are at least 74 UFO reports recorded
for this day in the UFOCAT database. At ten o’clock in the morning an
aluminum colored, pancake shaped object was sighted by a farmer as it
flew over Corapeake, North Carolina. It flew at an estimated 800 mph at
2,000 feet altitude. He described it as having two windows and
protruding pipe-like extensions, and emitting vapor and making a slight
noise. At 11:45 a.m. Eastern Time an ovoid object was sighted over
Norfolk, Virginia. It was seen rocking and spinning, and followed by
smaller objects. An Air Force major observed a metallic object at Muroc
Field (now Edwards AFB) in California at noon. The object reflected
sunlight and oscillated up and down in the sky, going down to ground
level then rising again. It was observed simultaneously by a captain in
Rodgers Dry Lake Bed. At the same time a student pilot sighted at flying
disc that looked like it had a hole in its center, flying at 500 feet
altitude over Spokane, Washington. At 5:33 p.m. an object flew in a
zigzag pattern over Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii. At 9:47 p.m. five
teenagers camping out at a golf course in Madison, Wisconsin saw a flat,
brilliant disc close to the horizon. It flew from the southeast to the
northwest very quickly.<br />

D. Easley</a> to go to the crash site and report back to him about what
is going on. He gets no closer than about 50 feet from the wreckage,
which appears to have burned. He is convinced it is the remains of a
B-29 bomber. He remains at the site for about 90 minutes then reports
back to Easley.<br />

artificial or inspired by “individuals of Communist sympathies with the
view to causing hysteria and fear of a secret Russian weapon.”<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 7/9/1947<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Midland, Michigan; Dow Chemical Company
materials research laboratory in Midland<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Shortly after 5:00 p.m. Electrician
Raymond Edward Lane and his wife are picking huckleberries near Midland,
Michigan, when they hear a kind of “puff” noise nearby. Looking up, they
see a ball of white, sparkling fire, like a Fourth of July sparkler,
about the size of a bushel basket, no more than 100 feet away. It is
hovering several feet above a stretch of sand. After about 10 or 15
seconds, the light goes out and the object vanishes. The only thing that
remains is a peculiar dark substance on the sand and some metallic
fragments. Lane collects fragments of the material in a tin can and
brings them the next morning to Robert S. Spencer, a senior researcher
at the Dow Chemical Company materials research laboratory in Midland.
Spencer goes to the site with Lane and Dow’s internal security chief
Edward Fales. Spencer has the Dow spectroscopy laboratory analyze the
fragments and reports that the shiny pellets are largely silver mixed
with a bit of silicon. They conclude that it consists of fused sand. By
the end of September, the lab has analyzed ashlike powder found at the
site. It turns out to be thorite that is slightly radioactive, mixed
with magnesium hydroxide and other trace minerals. The conclusion is
that the sighting is the result of some kind of home-made fireworks
experiment, although Dow chemist <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/107960608/john-josef-grebe">John
Josef Grebe</a> suspects it might have been a small missile.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Ernest Harmon AFB [now Stephenville
International Airport]; Stephenville Crossing, Newfoundland<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 5:30 p.m. Three civilian airline mechanics
(John N. Mehrman Jr., Robert Leidy, and John E. Woodruff) at Ernest
Harmon AFB [now Stephenville International Airport] are returning from a
fishing trip and driving up a mountain road near Stephenville Crossing,
Newfoundland. They see a bluish-black exhaust trail that has cut through
some clouds leaving a “hole.” Woodruff sees a disc-shaped object the
apparent size of a C-54 transport plane coming out of the clouds and
traveling at a terrific rate of speed. The hole remains in the cloud for
more than an hour. Leidy takes two Kodachrome photos of the exhaust
trail. The sighting later impresses Project Sign personnel to the extent
that they ask questions about UFO effects on clouds.<br />

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).”<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth%5FArnold">Kenneth
Arnold</a> is interviewed at the Hotel Owyhee in Boise, Idaho, by Lt. <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/65326329/frank-mercer-brown">Frank

Davidson</a><a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/43927275/william-lee-davidson">,</a> who
have flown in from Hamilton Army Airfield [now closed] in Novato,
California. He also submits a written statement to Army Air Force
intelligence, referring to the objects as “saucer-like.” At the end of
the report he draws a picture of what the objects appeared to look like
at their closest approach to Mt. Rainier, Washington. He writes, “They
seemed longer than wide, their thickness was about 1/20th their width.”
As to motion, Arnold writes, “They flew like many times I have observed
geese to fly in a rather diagonal chain-like line as if they were linked
together.” (James Easton suggests in 2007 that Arnold may have seen
pelicans, based on their movements, but this seems unlikely.) While they
are at Arnold’s house, Brown and Davidson hear that pilot Emil J. Smith
is in Boise on a layover, and all three go to the airport to talk to
him.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> Mid 7/1947<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 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 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.”<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 7/15/1947<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> Concord, California<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 12:15 p.m. Col. <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/201755669/frank-anthony-flynn">Frank
A. Flynn</a> is flying a Vultee BT-13 Valiant over Concord, California,
when a group of 12–15 objects approaches and passes him. At first he
takes them for birds, but he can see no necks or wings and they are
moving in excess of 200 mph. They are moving in a see-saw fashion at
three different altitudes about 200 feet apart, and they appear to be
about 15 feet across, white on the top and gray and black on the bottom.
At their closest point, they are about one mile away. Flynn turns his
plane around to pursue them, but they outdistance him quickly.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Campina do Amoral; Colônia Goio-Bang;
Luiziana; Mamboré; Paraná; Brazil<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> José C. Higgens and some assistants are
surveying a field in Campina do Amoral in the Colônia Goio-Bang, located
between Luiziana and Mamboré, Paraná, Brazil. On hearing a sharp sound,
they see a grayish-white disc- shaped object about 100 feet in diameter,
which soon lands and rests on curved metal feet. His assistants flee,
but Higgens goes up to examine it. He sees a small, glass window, then
two odd-looking beings observing him curiously. A door opens in the
craft, and three other hairless beings dressed in transparent overalls.
They have large, round eyes with eyebrows and pronounced eyelashes.
Their legs are disproportionately long and they are about 7 feet tall.
One points a small tube at Higgens. They are speaking in an unknown,
sonorous language. He walks toward the door and can see only a small
cubicle, bordered by another door, and several portholes. Higgens by
gestures asks where they are from and the leader draws a map in the
dirt, indicating a seventh planet, presumably Uranus. He eludes them by
pretending to look for his wife and goes into a hidden spot in the
woods. After 30 minutes the beings climb into the object and take
off.<br />

hissing noise and saw a disc-shaped object land only 50 meters away from
them. Jose C. Higgins saw two figures through a window inside the craft.
Later three beings in shiny clothes and translucent suits, with
oversized baldheads, huge round eyes, no eyelashes or eyebrows, and a
metal box on their back, emerged from the craft. They were over two
meters (6.6 feet) tall. They drew a sketch of the solar system and

light from above. The aircraft’s engine faltered, then died, but the
plane maintained its altitude. He felt a prickling sensation and saw a

by putting the nose down when he got control back.<br />

<strong>Location:</strong> Dumas, Texas<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Day. Leonard Robertson is riding his
motorcycle northeast of Dumas, Texas, when he sees a flash of light to
his left. An oval object like a bubble is floating over a field about
one mile away. Suddenly the object explodes, so Robertson takes a side
road to the field where he retrieves a piece of metal “lighter than
aluminum foil” about 30 inches long and 24 inches wide. There are two
small holes in it and the center seems to be burned.<br />

<strong>Location:</strong> Joint Research and Development Board<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> President <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry%5FS.%5FTruman">Truman</a> signs
the National Security Act, a major restructuring of the military and
intelligence agencies. It creates a unified National Military
Establishment (Army and Navy) and a Department of the Air Force, both
under the new Secretary of Defense. The Joint Research and Development
Board becomes the R&amp;D brain center. Each of the three service
secretaries maintains quasi-cabinet status. It establishes the National
Security Council to advise the president and the Central Intelligence
Agency, the first peacetime intelligence agency in the US. The CIA is
prohibited from conducting domestic surveillance, but <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen%5FDulles">Allen
Dulles</a> ensures it can handle “other functions” affecting “national
security” without scrutiny from Congress or (sometimes) the president.
Much of the CIA’s funding initially comes from wealthy Americans. The
act creates the first black military and intelligence budget.<br />

PDT the Assistant Base Operations Officer, Capt. William Rhyerd, and
Ward Steward, an ex-B-29 pilot, watched for unknown length of time while
two round, shiny, white objects with estimated 15-25 foot diameters,
flew 3-4 times the apparent speed of a P-80, also in sight. One object
flew straight and level; the other weaved from side-to-side like an
escort fighter.<br />

situation based on 16 reports selected by Collections Officer Lt. Col.
<a

D. Garrett</a>—says that the “flying saucer situation is not all
imaginary or seeing too much in some natural phenomena. Something is
really flying around.” Also, “Lack of topside inquiries . . . give more
than ordinary weight to the possibility that this is a domestic project,
about which the President, etc., know.” The study is passed up the line
to Gen. <a

<strong>Locations:</strong> Denver Post; Manzano Mountains; Sandia Base;
New Mexico<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> The Denver Post runs a story that claims
the military is building a secret base consisting of huge caverns for
atomic weapons defense purposes. The article says the new base is in the
Manzano Mountains southeast of Sandia Base, New Mexico. The military
responds by issuing a statement that operations and construction near
Sandia Base are top secret. In fact, however, the Armed Forces Special
Weapons Project is building one of several bases around the country that
will be used for nuclear weapons storage. The AFSWP code-names the base
“Site Able.”<br />

Vince Daly see a smooth UFO northwest of Bethel, Alaska, dead ahead as
they are flying a DC-3 for Al Jones Flying Service. Peck hauls back on
his controls to bring his plane up to safer altitude. Now 1,000 feet
higher, the pilots glance downward and spot the UFO closer but on a
changed course. Still dark against the sky, it looks to be as large as a
C-54. Intrigued, Peck dives on the object as it pulls away, doing his
best to get a better view, but it speeds up to an estimated 500 mph and
is lost to view in four minutes.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> In Media, Pennsylvania at 6:00 p.m. an
ex-U.S. Air Force pilot and two others saw a hovering saucer-shaped
object. It shot away at an estimated 725 km/h, emitting a slight hiss
and flames. Many observers in nearby Philadelphia, Pennsylvania sighted
a “giant firecracker” in the sky at 10:30 p.m. flying at several hundred
mph. The FBI inverviewed many of these witnesses.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Seattle, Washington; Maury Island<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> The Seattle, Washington, FBI office
interrogates <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred%5FCrisman">Crisman</a> and <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/125878620/harold-albert-dahl">Dahl</a> and
announces the Maury Island incident is a hoax. The FBI file notes that
Dahl stated that “if questioned by the authorities he was going to say
it was a hoax because he did not want any further trouble over the
matter.” Dahl’s daughter Louise admits in 2007 that the whole story was
made up, as did her brother Charles in the late 1960s, who called
Crisman a “smooth-talking con artist.” The affair had started as a joke
and blossomed into something worse. Associated Press reporter Elmer
Vogel says that Dahl’s wife had compelled him to tell Vogel the truth.
<a href="https://tedmorellojournalist.wordpress.com/">Morello</a> also
speaks to Crisman, who admits the story is baseless.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> <a
href="https://www.atomicheritage.org/profile/john-derry">John
Derry</a><a
href="https://www.atomicheritage.org/profile/john-derry">,</a> serving
as acting general manager of the Atomic Energy Commission, proposes a
set of guidelines that restate the proposition that secrecy can be based
on reasons other than national security. The definition of Confidential
that he proposes goes beyond the Army and Manhattan Project rules:
“CONFIDENTIAL: Documents, information or material, the unauthorized
disclosure of which, while not endangering the National security, would
be prejudicial to the interests or prestige of the Nation or any
Governmental activity, or individual, or would cause administrative
embarrassment, or be of advantage to a foreign nation shall be
classified CONFIDENTIAL.” The Derry memo calls for review by a
classification board assembled from the AEC’s regional sites. In
September, this board assembles in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The available
documentation does not show that Derry’s proposed rules go into effect,
but it does show that the Classification Board blesses the illustrations
of matter that “should be graded” Secret or Confidential. The former
category includes “certain selected human administration experiments
performed under MED [Manhattan Engineer District].”<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 8/13/1947<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Mr. A. C. Urie and his two sons were
fishing in the Snake River Canyon near Twin Falls, Idaho at about one
p.m. when they saw a sky blue, seven-meter wide inverted plate-shaped
flying object 100 meters away and 25 meters above the ground. Treetops
under it were spinning wildly, although the object itself did not appear
to spin. It made a swishing sound. There was a red flame visible on one
side of the top. According to the FBI investigative report of this case,
at about 1:00 p.m. Mr. Urie “sent his boys to the (Salmon) river to get
some rope from his boat. When he thought they were overdue he went
outside to his tool shed to look for them. He noticed them about 300
feet away looking in the sky and he glanced up to see what he called the
flying disc. This strange object was flying at high speed along the
canyon which is about 400 feet deep and 1,200 feet across at that point.
It was about seventy-five feet above the floor of the canyon (and so
more than 300 feet below the edge of the canyon) and moving up and down
as it flew. It seemed to be following the contours of the hilly ground
beneath it. Urie, who said he was at about the same level as the UFO, so
that he had a side view, estimated it was about twenty feet long, ten
feet wide and ten feet high, with what appeared to be exhaust ports on
the sides. It was almost hat shaped with a flat bottom and a dome on
top.<br/><br/> Its pale blue color made Urie think that it would be very
difficult to see against the sky, although he had no trouble seeing it
silhouetted against the opposite wall of the canyon. On each side there
was a tubular shaped fiery glow, like some sort of exhaust. He said that
when it went over trees they didn’t sway back and forth, but rather the
treetops twisted around, which suggests that the air under the object
was being swirled into a vortex. He and his sons had an excellent view
of the object for a few seconds before it disappeared over the trees
about a mile away. He thought it was going 1,000 miles an hour.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 8/14/1947<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> Torrente Chiarzò near Raveo, Udine,
Italy<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Shortly after 9:00 a.m. Italian artist and
author <a href="https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/L.%5FR.%5FJohannis">Luigi
Rapuzzi</a> (who uses the pseudonym L. R. Johannis) is hiking along the
left bank of the Torrente Chiarzò near Raveo, Udine, Italy, when he sees
a vivid red, metallic, domed disc on the riverbank about 165 feet ahead.
It is about 33 feet wide and embedded in a cleft in the rock about 20
feet above thqwe stream. Looking around, he sees two “boys” on the edge
of a grove of trees. He shouts at them and points to the object, walking
toward them, but notices they are actually odd-looking dwarfs who are
approaching him stiffly. They are about 3 feet tall and wearing dark
blue coveralls with red collars, cuffs, and belts. Their greenish heads
are covered in tight-fitting, brownish caps. He looks at them in
astonishment for 2–3 minutes, then waves his geologist’s pick at them
and asks where they come from. One of the entities raises its right hand
to its belt, which emits a puff of smoke that knocks Rapuzzi to the
ground as if from an electric shock. As he is lying there, one of them
grabs his pick and he notices its green hand has 8 claws. They climb up
the rock and into the disc, which soon shoots straight out and into the
air, hovering briefly at an angle, then vanishes. Rapuzzi feels a blast
of wind that blows him across the ground. His pick is missing.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 8/14/1947<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> At around nine o’clock in the morning R.
L. Johannis of Raveo, Italy saw a 10 meter wide, red domed, disc-shaped
object with an antenna on top, on the ground across an ice field. There
were two dwarfs less than three feet tall near the craft, wearing dark
blue coveralls with red collars and belts. They had oversized heads and
greenish toned faces. Their eyes were huge, without eyelashes or
eyebrows but surrounded by some kind of ring-like muscle. The beings had
greenish hands with eight talon-like fingers. They wore something
similar to crash helmets. When he waved his ice axe at them in a
friendly gesture, one of the beings discharged a thin puff of smoke or
“vapor” at him which knocked him down, and the witness started to
suffocate, feeling at the same time a strong electrical discharge.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 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 ofclimb 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)<br />

<strong>Location:</strong> Oak Ridge<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Head of Air Materiel Command Gen. <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan%5FFarragut%5FTwining">Nathan
Twining</a> responds to <a
href="http://www.generals.dk/general/Schulgen/George%5FFrancis/USA.html">Schulgen</a>’s
request for UFO information with a classified letter composed by Col. <a
href="http://kevinrandle.blogspot.com/2014/10/colonel-howard-mccoy-and-mj-12.html">McCoy</a> with
the assistance of <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/209268646/alfred-christian-loedding">Alfred
Loedding</a>, “AMC Opinion Concerning ‘Flying Disks.’” Twining notes the
discs are “real and not visionary or fictitious.” Reports (based on the
cases in the Garrett Estimate) include “extreme rates of climb,
maneuverability (particularly in roll), and action which must be
considered evasive.” Twining gives three reasons to study the discs:
They might represent a deep-black domestic project; to pick up physical
evidence; and to find out if they are nuclear- propulsion devices from
Russia or elsewhere. The letter lists common descriptions of the objects
and recommends that USAF “issue a directive assigning a priority,
security classification, and code name for a detailed study of the
matter.” This will ultimately result in Project Sign. Henceforth all
disc reports are to be sent to the Army and Navy Research and
Development Board, the USAF Scientific Advisory Group, the Atomic Energy
Commission, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, Project
RAND, and the Nuclear Energy for the Propulsion of Aircraft project at
Oak Ridge. Twining promises a detailed “Essential Elements of
Information” (EEI) to be formulated immediately so that all agencies
will have guidance.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> A memorandum from Col. James F. Olive Jr.,
Chief of Air Intelligence Division, to the Assistant Chief of the Air
Staff, A-2, summarizes three radar trackings of high-speed targets in
Japan (Chitose Air Base, July 1; and MEW Radar Station, Fukuoka, August
28 and September 16). It concludes that there is insufficient
information to state that they involved aircraft or missiles but
supports the conclusion that they were not natural phenomena. The report
is forwarded to T-2 on September 29.<br />

(though in greater detail) and the preliminary EEI of October 21. Titled
“Intelligence Requirements on Flying Saucer Type Aircraft: Draft of
Collection Memorandum,” it lists things investigators should try to
determine about UFO propulsion, control, construction, arrangement,
landing gear, and power plant. It considers the objects “to be a manned
aircraft, of Russian origin, and based on the perspective thinking and
actual accomplishments of the Germans” (page 5, paragraph 4). [However,
a fake version of this document has the phrase “it is the considered
opinion of some elements that the object may in fact represent an
interplanetary craft of some kind…. The presence of an unconventional or
unusual type of propulsion system cannot be ruled out and should be
considered of great interest.” Other deletions and additions are present
in the fake document.]<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> By now, ATIC has received 156 UFO reports.
Aerodynamicists at ATIC and AMC agree that no German design can match
UFO performance. The USAF Aeromedical Laboratory says that even if such
a craft can be built, the human body cannot withstand the maneuvers, and
USAF materials specialists say that no known material can withstand them
either, as well as the heat of high speeds. <a

<strong>Location:</strong> Fort Bragg, North Carolina<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 12:20 a.m. Six staff sergeants at Fort
Bragg, North Carolina, watch a domed disc with a glowing green corona
surrounding it moving slowly at a slightly tilted angle. It skims the
treeline (causing the tops of the trees to wave slightly) and takes off
to the northwest. They estimate it is 50–75 feet in diameter and flying
at 200 feet altitude.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Army Lt. Col. <a

H. Pretty</a> in Berlin writes a memo to the Deputy Director of
Intelligence in Berlin stating that the <a

brothers</a> (Reimer and Walter) have been located in Göttingen,
Germany. He says they are eccentric and quarrelsome. Though they were
responsible for the Horten Ho 299 (a prototype fighter/bomber flying
wing design), his investigation concludes that no saucer design “ever
existed nor was projected by any of the German air research
institutions.”<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> David T. Keating, an employee of the USAF
Nuclear Energy for the Propulsion of Aircraft group, is flying with the
166th Fighter Squadron of the Ohio National Guard out of Lockbourne AFB
[now Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base] in Lockbourne, Ohio. While
executing a flip of his P-51 at 18,000 feet, he sees a silvery disc zoom
above his plane. He goes in pursuit of it at 325 mph and closes to
within 240 feet of it. It seems to be 40 feet in diameter and 6 feet
thick, with a vertical stabilizer rudder on the end. He keeps flying
after it even when he loses sight of it. “About 10 miles south of the
Ohio River,” he claims, “I spotted litter on a hillside and a path that
had obviously been ripped up by a crashing plane.” Short on fuel, he
returns to Lockbourne. He persuades his major to fly over the crash
scene, and they send a truck to retrieve the remains.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> An airman stationed in Arizona is called
out with a scientific team to examine a flying saucer that has crashed
near Taos, New Mexico. When he arrives, the area is roped off and under
military guard. The object is metallic with a flat circular airfoil. The
cabin at the top center is too small for a normal-sized human. He is
told by workers on the scene that bodies of “little men” have been
removed from the craft. They discover that the ship is constructed of
interlocking sections pinned together, but they cannot locate a power
plant, except possibly some electromagnets below the cabin.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Sylvia Hall, 11, wakes up at her home on
the corner of Riggs Road and Lateral 1 Road south of Yakima, Washington,
when her bedroom fills with bluish-white light pouring in through the
closed west window. Some 100 feet above the ground is a huge bright
cloud. Gliding down from it in groups of four on something like a ramp
are tall people with bluish-silvery robes. She watches them for 10
minutes, then she has an overpowering desire to go back to bed. She
tells no one about the experience until she is an adult.<br />

<strong>Location:</strong> Maysville, KN<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Top Secret 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. The aircraft’s metal was hit with fragments before it
collided with the ground. State Police estimated the saucer to be 250
ft. diam. (On Mantell’s online obituary, Jim Marrs added: A man by the
name of Richard T. Miller claims he was in the Scott AFB operations room
in Belleville, Illinois during the chase and he states that
Capt. Mantell’s last words were, “My God, I see people in this
thing!”)<br />

F. Mantell Jr.</a><a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/14958603/thomas-francis-mantell">,</a> a
25-year-old Kentucky Air National Guard pilot, and three others are
flying F-51D fighters to Louisville, Kentucky. After Mantell reports his
position to Standiford Field in Louisville, Tech/Sgt. <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/39533254/quinton-a%5F-blackwell">Quinton
A. Blackwell</a> at Godman Army Airfield at Fort Knox breaks in over the
radio to request Mantell to intercept and identify the object. The
object maintains a constant angular position as seen from Godman as it
apparently moves away at about 240–300 mph at an altitude of
50,000–60,000 feet during most of Mantell’s pursuit. Flying at 300 mph
and gradually climbing to about 22,000–23,000 feet, Mantell gradually
overtakes the UFO from below, past Bowling Green, Kentucky, at about
3:10 p.m. In one of his last radio reports, Mantell says the UFO
“appears to be a metallic object or possibly reflection of sun from a
metallic object, and it is of tremendous size.” At 3:15 p.m., at 22,500
feet with oxygen running low, two other F-51Ds quit the chase. Mantell
continues to 25,000, blacks out, and crashes at 3:18 p.m. about 4 miles
south-southwest of Franklin, Kentucky. The UFO disappears from view
behind a cloud at Godman at 3:50 p.m. The Project Sign staff, still not
yet formally organized, are under pressure to come up with some kind of
answer, so they quickly float Venus (offhandedly suggested by Ohio State
University astronomer <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J.%5FAllen%5FHynek">J. Allen
Hynek</a>) as an explanation. This implausible explanation is not even
believed by the Air Force, but it remains unchallenged for several
years. In 1952, <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward%5FJ.%5FRuppelt">Ruppelt</a> reopens
the case and identifies the object as a secret Skyhook balloon, although
he cannot confirm a launch that day. Army veteran <a
href="https://ufology.fandom.com/wiki/Clifford%5FStone">Clifford
Stone</a> finds later that there had been no Skyhook launches since late
December. However, <a
href="http://www.noufors.com/Barry%5FJ%5FGreenwood.htm">Barry J.
Greenwood</a> and <a
href="http://kevinrandle.blogspot.com/2007/04/robert-todd-is-gone.html">Robert

Ripley near Little Falls, Minnesota, on January 6.<br />

AACS Squadron, at Lockbourne AFB [now Rickenbacker Air National Guard
Base] in Lockbourne, Ohio, spot a bright object to the southwest of the
airfield that appears and disappears intermittently. Fighter pilot USAF
Capt. <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles%5FMcGee%5F%28pilot%29">Charles
E. McGee</a> sees the object on runway 23 landing approach when he is at
about 1,800 feet. The light seems to be at about 3,000 feet to the
southwest about 4–5 miles away, then later on the ground to the west
about 6–7 miles away. USAF VHF DF Operator and pilot Albert R.
Pickering, Detachment 733, 103rd AACS Squadron, is awakened by the
sudden emergence of a lighted amber- colored round or oval object about
the size of a C-47 or larger [60+ feet] dropping out of the overcast
bank 10,000 feet overhead. Lockbourne Control Tower at the same time
radios a report of the object, which then maneuvers over to Commercial
Point about 3–5 miles away to the west-southwest, then makes three full
360° circles over one spot in 30-40 seconds per turn over the runway, at
a speed of more than 500 mph, leaving a luminous, amber- colored trail
or exhaust about 5 times its length. Then the UFO goes to another
location and does more 360° turns. At one point, it disappears into the
overcast for one minute, then reappears. Just before departing, it
hovers or “appeared to touch down” on the grass extension past the end
of the Lockbourne AFB runway for 10 seconds then leaves at 120° (ESE)
heading into the overcast. It is also sighted by the pilot of a C-45 at
5,000 feet off the right wing at 7:53 p.m.<br />

stones fall over a large area of Norton County, Kansas, and Furnas

A farmer near Stockton, Kansas, sees a hovering object that leaves a
bare spot in the ground. <a

<strong>Location:</strong> Aztec, NM<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Aztec area NM landing and retrieval
incident near Hart Canyon. UFO detected by 3 strategically located
radars in the southwest, including a powerful experimental radar in the
Four Corners region. 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, NM. 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. Note: This may have been the White Sands 1948
incident mentioned by Virgil Armstrong.<br />

(D2B58BAD)</h3>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 3/25/1948<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Hart Canyon Road east of Aztec, New Mexico;
Wright Field in Ohio; Arizona; Phoenix; North Carolina<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 5:00 a.m. According to writer <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank%5FScully">Frank Scully</a>,
who hears the tale from a scientist he refers to as “Dr. Gee” and a
Texas oilman, a UFO crashes on a rocky plateau off Hart Canyon Road east
of Aztec, New Mexico. When Air Force investigators and government
scientists arrive on the scene, they crawl through a broken porthole and
find the bodies of 16 small humanlike beings (3–3.5 feet tall) dressed
in the “style of 1890.” Their skin is charred a chocolate color,
apparently as a result of the rush of terrestrial air through the
shattered window. After a thorough study, the scientists conclude that
the “vehicle probably flew on magnetic lines of force.” Segments of the
craft, as well as the bodies, are supposedly transported to Wright Field
in Ohio. Dr. Gee, who claims to have been on the scene, said the UFO is
likely from Venus, as Martians “would probably be three or four times as
large as human beings.” Soon afterward, a crash occurs in Arizona and 16
bodies are taken from the wreckage. A third spaceship goes down near
Phoenix with 2 dead occupants. The story turns out to be a hoax dreamed
up by two con men named <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/127850405/silas-mason-newton">Silas
Newton</a> and <a
href="https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/leo-gebauer-and-silas-newton-flak-one-of-their-defense-news-photo/162001660">Leo
GeBauer</a> (“Dr. Gee,” although Scully claims this was a composite
character incorporating 8 informants, one of whom is said to be
geophysicist <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/205437488/carl-a%5F-heiland">Carl
A. Heiland</a>). The hoax is loosely based on a 1949 science fiction
film titled The Flying Saucer. GeBauer and especially Newton are in
later years involved in various swindles and fraudulent mining claims.

interviewing witnesses and trying to prove it involves a real UFO crash
and coverup in his 2015 book The Aztec UFO Incident. Ramsey thinks the
object was tracked on radar by Air Force Station P-8 near El Vado
Dam.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 9:55 a.m. USAF 1st Lt. Robert W. Meyers is
leading a flight of four P-47s from the 67th Fighter Group about 9 miles
southeast of Sorsogon City, Luzon, Philippines. At 1,500 feet, he
notices an unusual silvery object about 3 miles to the east. Shaped like
a flying wing or half-moon with a “turtle back,” it resembles no
military craft in use at the time. The object flies below the squadron
at 200 mph and an altitude of about 1,000 feet. Meyers estimates it is
about 30 feet wide and 20 feet long. When he attempts to contact the
other three P-47s, he realizes his radio is dead. As he makes a 270°
left turn to get a closer look, the object makes a 90° left turn and
moves away at tremendous speed. It is only visible for about 5
seconds.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> At 9:55 a.m. a ten meter wide silver half
disc maneuvered in the sky over Manila in the Philippines and made a
number of ninety-degree turns. Lt. Meyers of the U.S. Air Force was
leading a flight of four F-47S Thunderbolt fighters of the 67th Fighter
Squadron and was flying south at 1,500 ft altitude when he saw a
half-moon shaped “flying wing” or crescent about 30 feet wide and 20
feet long, with a small dorsal fin. It was flying on a northerly heading
at about 1,000 feet three miles to his east. It made a 90° left turn and
leveled out on a westerly heading accelerating rapidly to vanish in five
seconds. There was no trail. Estimated terminal velocity was about 11
miles per second or 39,000 mph. Radio interference was reported at the
time.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> At 6:35 a.m. in San Martino, Lombardy,
Italy bus driver Guiseppe Langiano and railway stationmaster Sr. Bavota
saw a luminous orange domed disc hovering about 10 meters above the
ground at Fara Di Cigno which stopped 12 meters away from them. It was
shaped like an inverted bowl, about 10-15 meters in diameter, and
surmounted by a transparent looking dome or “upside-down cup.” It was
also emitting a very bright beam of white light. A humanoid being
floated down to the ground from the object. He wore a stiff, metallic
looking one-piece garment with heavy metallic gauntlets. He looked like
a “big puppet” about 1.5 meters (5 feet) in height. He had “two round
holes in place of eyes.” When Sr. Langiano approached, it re-entered the
UFO, which then took off.<br />

complex<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Afternoon. At Holloman AFB, near
Alamogordo, New Mexico, three highly trained balloon observers (Joseph
Olson, Johnson, and Chance) are working on a secret project for the Air
Force’s Watson Laboratories. They see two objects. One observer follows
one object, and the others follow the second as they diverge. All are
certain that the objects aren’t balloons. They are large, whitish,
roundish, very high, faster than any aircraft, and perform rapid,
erratic motions. One object is lost at a low altitude. The other goes up
quickly and seems to just disappear. The observation lasts about 30
seconds. The case is deemed important enough to send <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/209268646/alfred-christian-loedding">Alfred
Loedding</a> and one of <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/113944251/william-r%5F-clingerman">Clingerman</a>’s
assistants, Lt. Col. James C. Beam (the head of Project Sign), to New
Mexico to interview Project Mogul scientist James W. Peoples and the
other witnesses. Unfortunately, they are gone when Sign arrives. (They
are later interviewed at the USAF Watson Laboratory complex in Red Bank,
New Jersey.) The witnesses are very sure of themselves and the case is
classed as “Unidentified.” While at Holloman, Loedding and Beam talk
with Lt. Herbert G. Markley, who has worked with the Watson team.
Markley remembers one of them speaking of unusual radar returns from
their equipment, but later the Watson personnel say that these were
probably just “angels” (spurious echoes due to atmospheric
microstructures, insects, equipment malfunction, or other stimuli).
Markley does report that UFOs are seen around Holloman often. He himself
has seen a disc in late August 1947 and flat, round aeroforms on at
least two further occasions.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> At 2:00 in the afternoon at Holloman Air
Force Base, New Mexico three base personnel reported having witnessed
two silent disc-shaped objects, 35 meters in diameter, executing a
series of violent turns and maneuvers. The discs made no noise during
the 30 seconds they were in view, and were viewed through a theodolite.
One of the discs shot up vertically. Project Blue Book listed this as an
“unidentified” case.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Enewetak Atoll; Marshall Islands; Los
Alamos, New Mexico<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> During the Zebra nuclear detonation at
Enewetak Atoll in the Marshall Islands, a manned aircraft accidentally
flies through the mushroom cloud. Because the pilot and crew “suffered
no ill effects,” the Air Force decides that piloted aircraft could
collect samples. The Los Alamos, New Mexico, personnel assigned to
remove the filters from the B-17 drones have apparently carried out the
same procedure on X-Ray and Yoke without problems, but this time three
of them suffer radiation burns on their hands serious enough to be
hospitalized and need skin grafting. One of the men who carries out the
procedure for Yoke is then also found to have burns on his hands and is
also hospitalized but is discharged on May 28. Once again, the drone
tank gives trouble and bogs in the crater, but the soil samples are
retrieved by the backup drone tank. Both tanks are subsequently dumped
in the ocean.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> Late 5/1948<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Oxford/Bicester area in England; RAF
Acklington<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 11:40 a.m. Sgt. T. G. Jones and three
other officers and two crew are aboard a York transport aircraft,
accompanied by a formation of six Meteor jets, cruising at 10,000 feet
above the Oxford/Bicester area in England, bound for RAF Acklington.
Visiting US Maj. <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin%5FOlds">Robin Olds</a> is in
one of the jets. They encounter a 100-foot oval object with three bumps
or protrusions on the bottom, as Jones describes it through binoculars.
Ground radar tracks the object, which is stationary and above 25,000
feet. Two jets go up to try to get a better look and get within a few
thousand feet. The object departs vertically at a speed of 1,500
mph.<br />

<strong>Location:</strong> Kapustin Yar site, Astrakhan Oblast,
Russia<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Soviet test pilot Arkady Ivanovich
Apraksin is flying at an altitude of 6.5 miles above a solid layer of
clouds south of the Kapustin Yar site, Astrakhan Oblast, Russia. He sees
an unconventional aircraft in the shape of a cucumber with cones of
light radiating from it descending across his path. The base tells him
it has tracked the object on radar and given it instructions to land,
but it does not respond. Apraksin is ordered to intercept it and open
fire if it refuses to land. When he closes to within 6 miles, the light
beams open up like a fan and shine into his aircraft, blinding him. The
plane’s electrical systems malfunction. He glides the plane to a safe
landing after the UFO disappears. Apraksin is interrogated
heavily.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 7/7/1948<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> 30 miles south-southwest of Laredo, Texas;
San Antonio, Texas<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> A silver, disc-shaped object allegedly
crashes some 30 miles south-southwest of Laredo, Texas. US servicemen
are reportedly dispatched from a nearby military base to cordon off the
UFO crash site until a special US retrieval team arrives to examine the
wreckage and carry it away to a military base in San Antonio, Texas.
Supposedly the badly burned body of a nonhuman entity is recovered from
the crash site. Ufologist <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard%5FH.%5FStringfield">Leonard
Stringfield</a> hears rumors of the crash in 1977, but few further
details emerge. Early in 1978, Stringfield describes the humanoid found
at the crash site as “about 4 feet, 6 inches tall, completely hairless,
with hands that had no thumbs.” That description seems to fit the body
shown in two photographs that are mailed to Willard F. McIntyre in
December 1978. The body depicted in the photos sent to McIntyre has come
to be known as the “Tomato Man” due to its large, roundish head. Many
UFO researchers, including <a
href="http://www.unknownexplorers.com/ronschaffner.php">Ron
Schaffner</a> and <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin%5FD.%5FRandle">Kevin
Randle</a>, believe the body is that of a human pilot who is badly
disfigured by intense heat following a plane crash. They argue that one
of the photos shows a pair of eyeglasses, such as a human pilot would
wear, near the body.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Burlington, Vermont – A fresh wave of UFO
reports started Sunday, July 11, 1948 when Robert H. Streeten of West
Bolton, Vermont notified authorities that he had sighted a “flying
saucer” at 4:40 p.m. Three hours later Mrs. Ralph Holmes, wife of a
University of Vermont physics professor, said she observed a fiery
object whizzing through the sky. Miss Alice Giroux, a University of
Vermont coed, and Miss Irene Audette of Hartford, Connecticut, a
visiting skier, both reported seeing a flying saucer. One Vermonter,
Dr. C. H. Vaughn of Burlington, said he saw a bluish-white flying saucer
land in Massachusetts between Concord and Lexington. He was driving his
car when he saw the object. Altogether, 20 people reported sighting
flying saucers–round ones, square ones, and a few with handsome flue
tails–in Chittenden and Franklin Counties.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Chiles-Whitted UFO encounter: At roughly
2:45 AM on July 24, 1948, two commercial pilots, Clarence S. Chiles and
John B. Whitted, claimed to have observed a “glowing object” pass by
their plane before it appeared to pull up into a cloud and travel out of
sight. The object closed on their DC-3 in a matter of seconds, and both
men later said they saw the object fly past the right side of their
plane at high speed before it pulled “up with a tremendous burst of
flame out of its rear and zoomed up into the clouds.” They observed the
object for a total of ten to fifteen seconds. Chiles and Whitted stated
that the object “looked like a wingless aircraft…it seemed to have two
rows of windows through which glowed a very bright light, as brilliant
as a magnesium flare.”<br />

<strong>Location:</strong> Indianapolis, Indiana<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 9:18 a.m. James Toney and Robert Huggins,
both employees of an Indianapolis, Indiana, rug cleaning firm, are in a
truck headed west when they see a shiny, propeller-shaped, aluminum
object with 10–12 small cups protruding from either blade. It is 6–8
feet long and flying silently above the trees at 30 feet altitude some
300 feet away heading south. It approaches to about 100 feet at its
closest. The object glides across the road at 25–30 mph in a slight
descent then makes a 20° bank to the east and goes down in a wooded
area. Toney and Huggins stop the truck and get out to look, but the
object has disappeared behind trees. A later search finds no
traces.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 2:00 p.m. P. L. Lewis sees a white object
moving rapidly across the sky at Port Hope, Ontario, then disappear when
it is nearly overhead. Other white objects follow at about 50 mph in a
northeasterly direction, accompanied by strands of spider web. Lewis
speculates that the objects are balls of spiders’ threads, held together
by thistledown.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Project Sign officer Capt. <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/49319130/robert-raphael-sneider">Robert
R. Sneider</a> has decided that the time has come to climax Project
Sign’s task and write the required “Estimate of the Situation.” Every
intelligence operation’s task is ultimately to present such a best-guess
summary, strongly backed with as much fact as possible. Using the
Chiles-Whitted case as the core and collecting around it many cases from
the summer of 1947 to September 1948, Sneider composes the document. The
most recent case known to have been listed in the document is the
September 23 Los Alamos National Laboratory sighting in New Mexico. Two
prominent USAF intelligence officers (<a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward%5FJ.%5FRuppelt">Ruppelt</a> and
<a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/8653239/dewey-j%5F-fournet">Dewey
J.</a> <a href="https://www.nicap.org/ufochop2.htm">Fournet</a> Jr.) see
the document in 1952. “It was a rather thick document with a black cover
and it was printed on legal-sized paper. Stamped across the front were
the words TOP SECRET.” Ruppelt says the Estimate concludes that the best
evidence indicated an extraterrestrial origin for UFOs. Sneider is
probably the primary author. <a

<a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/58335429/lawrence-hess-truettner">Truettner</a> almost
certainly are part of the writing. <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/124634808/raymond-anderson-llewellyn">Llewellyn</a> certainly
looks in. All these people, as well as higher-ups in <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/113944251/william-r%5F-clingerman">Clingerman</a>’s
and <a
href="http://kevinrandle.blogspot.com/2014/10/colonel-howard-mccoy-and-mj-12.html">McCoy</a>’s
offices, must approve it, at least in some sense. And an Estimate of
UFOs as extraterrestrial is no small thing to assent to. The Estimate is
probably addressed to Chief of Staff Gen. <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoyt%5FVandenberg">Hoyt
Vandenberg</a>, but it really is meant for Director of Intelligence
Gen. <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles%5FP.%5FCabell">Charles
Cabell</a><a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles%5FP.%5FCabell">.</a> It is
probably sent near the end of September, just before the <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/711216/george-f-gorman">George
Gorman</a> “UFO dogfight” in Fargo, North Dakota, on October 1. It
probably lands in <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/33467541/george-duncan-garrett">Garrett</a>’s
Collections office and is hand-carried to Cabell. Cabell may or may not
be shocked. With a pro-ETH Wright-Patterson intelligence group on one
side, an anti-ETH Pentagon Intelligence Requirements Office on the
other, and open-minded collections officers and the powerful Research
and Development chief (Gen. <a
href="https://www.af.mil/About-Us/Biographies/Display/Article/105883/lieutenant-general-donald-leander-putt/">Donald
L. Putt</a>) in between, Cabell doesn’t want to decide this on his own.
He hands the Estimate further upstairs to Vandenberg himself, who
rejects it and bats it back to Cabell with a strong sense of
disapproval. Ruppelt adds that some months later the Estimate is
completely declassified and “all but a few copies” are destroyed.<br />

<strong>Location:</strong> Fargo, North Dakota<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 8:30 p.m. 2d Lieut. <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/711216/george-f-gorman">George
F. Gorman</a> of the North Dakota National Guard, flying an F-51 near
Fargo, North Dakota, spots an object traveling east to west. He
describes it as a light 6–8 inches in diameter displaying incredible
movements. He repeatedly gives chase beginning at 9:07 p.m., but each
time is outmaneuvered by the light, which moves up to 600 mph. On his
first pass he gets as close as 500 feet from the light at about 5,000
feet altitude. Gorman climbs to 14,000 feet but stalled out, unable to
intercept the light, which is at about 16,000 feet. The light makes
evasive and aggressive maneuvers, such as seeming to try to ram the
F-51. When it drops to 11,000 feet, Gorman attempts to dive at it, but
the light pulls up, rises vertically, and disappears at high speed. The
light is also seen by airport control tower operators <a

D. Jensen</a> and Manuel E. Johnson, as well as others on the ground and
pilot <a

E. Cannon</a> flying a Piper Cub at 1,600 feet. Jensen watches the
dogfight through 6x30 binoculars, the UFO appearing perfectly round with
sharp edges and no fuzzy outline. Project Sign personnel arrive within
hours and interview the witnesses. Eventually they conclude the object
was a balloon, with evasive maneuvers the product of Gorman’s
imagination, since ground observers do not see anything comparable. Some
ufologists, among them <a

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 10/1/1948<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> At 9:00 p.m. an aerial encounter occurred
on this day over Fargo, North Dakota between an F-51 fighter plane and a
somewhat flattened white circular unidentified object, blinking on and
off. The UFO made a head-on approach toward the F-51, then veered off,
next made a 180 degree turn, then out climbed the performance aircraft,
rising straight up until out of sight. Its close turns were tighter than
could be made by the fighter plane. The encounter lasted 27
minutes.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 11:05 p.m. On night patrol, 1st Lt. <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/36271029/oliver-hemphill">Oliver
“Bud” Hemphill Jr.</a> of the 68th Fighter Squadron is flying a Northrup
F-61 Black Widow some 50 miles northwest of Fukuoka, Japan, when the
crew picks up an object on radar going 200 mph. As he closes to
intercept, the object speeds up to 1,200 mph then slows down again. The
plane tries closing in six times, but each time the object speeds away.
On one pass the crew sees the object’s silhouette, which looks like a
“rifle bullet” 20–30 feet long. The object “seems cognizant of the
whereabouts of the F-61 at all times.” Radar operator Barton Halter
thinks it is a “new type of aircraft.”<br />

The government is looking for a place where nuclear tests would have
little impact on the American people or the American economy. Five
primary sites are considered: Dugway Proving Ground, Utah;
Alamogordo–White Sands Guided Missile Range, New Mexico; an area in
Nevada between Fallon and Eureka; the Tonopah–Las Vegas Bombing and
Gunnery Range (the site finally chosen in 1950, now part of Nellis Air

<strong>Description:</strong> At 11:05 p.m. U.S. Air Force pilot Halter
and radar operator Hemphill in a propeller driven P-61 “Black Widow”
night fighter tracked up to six objects on radar over Fusuoka, Japan.
The six bogeys were seen on the radar by Hemphill, and his radar picked
up the targets five miles ahead of the plane. Only one of the bogeys was
seen visually. It was a dull or dark object, shaped like a bullet or
dirigible with a flat bottom and with a heel-shaped clipped tail end.
Pilot Halter attempted to close on the visual object, but it dove below
the F-61, then reappeared, and finally took off with a burst of
speed.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 10/24/1948<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Mr. and Mrs. Sanders were driving
northwest on Highway 52 towards Moorhead, Minnesota (46.88° N, 96.78° W)
when they saw a brilliant golden-white round object suddenly appear as
if a light had been switched on. It was about three miles away to the
northeast at 1,000 feet altitude in a gradual climb traveling at an
estimated 600-1,000 mph and heading west towards Moorhead. It made no
sound, and was about half the size of a full moon in angular size. When
they reached the northern outskirts of Moorhead the object suddenly made
a right turn and one second later disappeared by suddenly switching off.
The Air Force said they had seen a meteor.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> USAF Europe; Sweden; Armament Intelligence
Branch<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> A USAF Europe document transmits some
information on the Swedish ghost rockets. “They have been reported by so
many sources and from such a variety of places that we are convinced
that they cannot be disregarded and must be explained on some basis
which is perhaps slightly beyond the scope of our present intelligence
thinking.” One of the objects was observed crashing into a lake by
Swedish Gen. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helge%5FJung">Helge
Jung</a> and his party. A salvage operation was unsuccessful. USAF
officers visit Swedish Air Intelligence officials who have reached the
conclusion that “these phenomena are obviously the result of a high
technical skill which cannot be credited to any presently known culture
on earth.” The document is distributed to the CIA (which in response to
a FOIA request claims no record), Armament Intelligence Branch, and
AMC.<br />

is overtly submissive but covertly rebellious. It contains several
comments agreeing with Cabell that the UFO phenomenon is not
identifiable and that no concrete physical proof exists to identify it.
At the same time it drops all sorts of hints, doubtless the same
arguments used in the original Estimate, that the objects really are
extra- terrestrial whether the Pentagon thinks so or not: It mentions
the ETH; it mentions plotting waves against planetary approaches and
finding a correlation; it mentions the books of <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles%5FFort">Charles Fort</a> as
indicating that this has been going on for at least a century; it
mentions that odd shapes (like the Chiles-Whitted case) can fly but
require more advanced power plants than we have.<br />

interplanetary probes, is accidentally destroyed. USAF Intelligence
later requests a replacement copy from TID at Wright-Patterson AFB in

<strong>Description:</strong> The revised Project Sign report is issued,
Air Intelligence Report Number 100-203-79, “Analysis of Fly- ing Object
Incidents in the U.S.” (AIR 203) [Some copies are confusingly dated
April 28, 1949.] This is the cul- mination of Sign’s work since early
August, augmented by ONI collaboration over the past two months. UFOs
are not extraterrestrial (the idea is hardly noticed). UFOs are probably
real, but if so, there is a small chance that they are Soviet and
therefore dangerous. All in all, the word “Soviet” dominates the
commentary.<br />

LaPaz</a> and two USAF officers (Sandia Base Intelligence Officer Lt.

calculates that it is flying directly over Los Alamos National

(for a meteor) of 8–10 miles. LaPaz arranges with the Atomic Energy
Security Service to set up a patrol with Speed Graphic cameras to try to
photograph the fireballs.<br />

that the green fireball he saw on December 12 was no meteor he has ever
studied. He writes that the object moved far too slowly to have been a
meteor and left no “trail of sparks or dust cloud” as would be typical
of meteors flying at low altitudes. Other anomalous characteristics were
the intense lime-green color, low altitude of only 8–10 miles yet
exhibiting no sound, flat rather than arced trajectory, and turning on
and off like a light switch. The interest in green fireballs inspires
the creation of an informal group, the Los Alamos Astrophysical
Association, whose members, all scientists and engineers with security
clearances, are permitted to examine some classified Project Sign
reports. This is essentially the beginning of Project Twinkle.<br />

members are relieved of their duties and reassigned to other
intelligence tasks within T-2. For Loedding in particular, his role and
prestige are never the same. After a few further years of intelligence
work, both he and Truettner leave AMC. For the higher military ranks (<a

all we know is that they are soon no longer involved, perhaps not even
assigned to the same base. Even <a

<a
href="http://kevinrandle.blogspot.com/2014/10/colonel-howard-mccoy-and-mj-12.html">McCoy</a> become
less involved, perhaps because they have also heard that their tenures
will soon be up and they will be sent to school and then transferred.
The only persons left active on the project are two of the lower ranks:
Lieut. Howard W. Smith and civilian <a

worse, the Air Force commitment to a UFO investigation project will
remain until the summer of 1951.<br />

the ground at Hickam Field [now part of Joint Base Pearl Harbor–Hickam]
near Honolulu, Hawaii, sees a flat, white, elliptical object about the
size of a T-6 aircraft, circle at about 3,000 feet while oscillating to
the right and left. It is apparently several miles off the base and
slowly circling. It is bright white on the underside and darker on top
and possesses no other structures. It proceeds for 15 minutes to make
“rhythmical undulation” maneuvers in a cyclical manner. The “object
seemed to maneuver under control at all times completing 360° turns and
90° turns.” The object then “departed climbing (into the northeast) at
accelerated speed out of sight.”<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 1/27/1949<br />
<strong>Time:</strong> 10:20 PM<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> Cortez-Bradenton, Florida<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Witnesses: Capt. Sames, acting chief of
the Aircraft Branch, Eglin AFB, and Mrs. Sames. They watched for 25
minutes while a cigar-shaped object as long as two Pullman cars and
having seven lighted square windows and throwing sparks, descended and
then climbed with a bouncing motion at an estimated 400 m.p.h.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 1/27/1949<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Eglin AFB near Valparaiso, Florida; Cortez
Road between Bradenton and Cortez, Florida<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 10:20–11:20 p.m. Capt. <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/140394050/eckerman-sannes">Eckerman
Sannes</a>, acting chief of the Aircraft Branch at Eglin AFB near
Valparaiso, Florida, and his wife are driving slowly on Cortez Road
between Bradenton and Cortez, Florida, when they observe a
“cucumber-shaped” object. The object, seen through binoculars, seems as
long as two Pullman cars, with 7 lighted, square windows. It is throwing
sparks and approximately 8–10 miles away. In the first sighting at 10:20
p.m., the object approaches from the south going north, moving from an
altitude of 8,000 feet in a gradual descent until lost behind trees. In
the second sighting at 11:20 p.m., the object is seen in the north,
heading south and making a gradual turn to the west. It descends then
climbs with a bouncing motion (up 4,000 feet, down 2,000 feet) at about
400–500 mph, resulting in an overall climb and loss to view at an
altitude of around 40,000 feet. The bouncing appears to start after the
final 270° course change to the west.<br />

July 25, 1948. Also, on 10 different days, between 12/05/1948 and
01/06/1949, 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,

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 1/31/1949<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Kirtland AFB in New Mexico; Amarillo;
Lamesa, Texas<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Kirtland AFB in New Mexico notifies the
Pentagon that it will launch an immediate investigation of the green
fireballs, noting that “local commanders [are] perturbed by implications
of phenomena.” <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln%5FLaPaz">LaPaz</a> speaks to
dozens of witnesses of the January 30 fireball and manages a rough
triangulation of the fireball’s 143-mile path from Amarillo to Lamesa,
Texas. He estimates its speed at 25,000–50,000 mph, with a beginning
altitude of 60,000 feet and a final altitude around 40,000 feet. LaPaz
accompanies search teams to bring back any fragments. They end up in the
area of Lamesa but give up after a few days of fruitless search. He
later tells AFOSI agent Paul Ryan that the fireballs are artificial,
perhaps radio-controlled missiles directed by enemy agents in the
Southwest.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Part of the Final Report of Project SIGN,
written by Prof. George Valley, of MIT stating: “If there is an
extraterrestrial civilization which can make objects as are reported,
then it is most probable that its development is far in advance of ours.
Such a civilization 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.”<br />

about 5 feet tall emerge. They speak to him in both English and Spanish,
explaining to him that they come from another star system, are concerned
about our use of atomic energy, use solar power, no longer have sex, and
reproduce by subdividing. They invite him inside the disc, which from
the inside has transparent walls. He sees no instruments, only a padded
ledge.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Project Sign releases a final sanitized
report, “Unidentified Aerial Objects: Project ‘Sign,’” Technical Report
F-TR-2274-1A, authored by <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/58335429/lawrence-hess-truettner">Lawrence
Truettner</a> and <a
href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ori-ahvZRlU/VWjL8ELOjzI/AAAAAAAALts/kwi03CO17vE/s1600/Deyarmond%2BAlbert%2B7pictures%2B%2528dragged%2529.jpg">Albert
B. Deyarmond</a> and approved by Col. <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/113944251/william-r%5F-clingerman">Clingerman</a> (chief
of USAF Technical Intelligence Division) and Col. <a
href="http://kevinrandle.blogspot.com/2014/10/colonel-howard-mccoy-and-mj-12.html">Howard
McCoy</a> (chief of the Intelligence Department). 72 pages are visible
in the NICAP copy and 1,537 pages (some illegible) are available on the
Blue Book microfilm. Its conclusions are based on 273 reports (243 US
and 30 foreign) and it summarizes the characteristics of four types of
UFOs: flying discs, cigar-shaped objects, spherical objects, and balls
of light. It acknowledges the possibility that “these aerial objects are
visitors from another planet” and refers to commentary in Appendix D by
<a href="http://www.astronautix.com/l/lipp.html">James Lipp</a> of the
RAND project. “No definite and conclusive evidence is yet available that
would prove or disprove the existence of these unidentified objects as
real aircraft of unknown and unconventional configuration. It is
unlikely that positive proof of their existence will be obtained without
examination of the remains of crashed objects.        Evaluation of
reports of unidentified objects is a necessary activity of military
intelligence agencies. Such sightings are inevitable, and under wartime
conditions rapid and convincing solutions of such occurrences are
necessary to maintain morale of military and civilian personnel. In this
respect, it is considered that the establishment of procedures and
training of personnel is in itself worth the effort expended on this
project.” Truettner and Deyarmond, in a between-the-lines rebuke of <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles%5FP.%5FCabell">Cabell</a>’s
order not to consider the ETH, recommend that if enough cases are
examined and proven to have no security risks, then the project should
be terminated. The report is distributed to AMC, USAF Intelligence
Directorate, ONR, Cambridge Labs, Air Weather Services, <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J.%5FAllen%5FHynek">Hynek</a> at
Ohio State University, the RAND Project, and the USAF Scientific
Advisory Board.<br />

attendance. Representatives from Project Grudge are noticeably absent.
LaPaz tells the attendees that while most meteors are blue-green, the
green fireballs are described as pale green or yellow-green. Normal
meteors rarely move in long, horizontal paths with nearly constant
velocities. He says there are 10 incidents that strongly fit the pattern
and 20 others that might. The scientists agree to set up a series of
instrument stations to photograph and analyze the fireballs. Teller
thinks the fireballs might be electrical-optical phenomena. Navy

Professor of Civil Engineering Marvin May sees a brilliant white object
in the west at 6° elevation for less than 6 minutes in Albuquerque, New
Mexico. The object is first round then shifts to an ellipse as it
approaches, then it appears to be elongated like a bent pipe with
corners, one full moon in length. It makes a slight climbing turn to the
north, shifts to peach color as it makes a rapid sharp turning climb to
the south, disappearing in cloudless sky by diminishing in size and
brightness. At the same time, 100 guards at Sandia Base, New Mexico,
including the officer of the guard, see a yellow-orange cigar-shaped
object for seven minutes.<br />

says it’s not worth AFOSI’s time to conduct investigations for AMC. The
AMC officers retort that the fireballs are not an Army concern.
Groseclose and Smith say they are concerned with all anomalous aerial
phenomena. Disgusted, Godsoe leaves the room. Groseclose and Smith then
turn on LaPaz, criticizing him for only sending AMC raw data and not
finished analyses. LaPaz says he is on leave as a volunteer and must go
back to the University of New Mexico, unless he sees a contract.
However, AMC agrees to set up a network of observation posts with
cameras, transits, and trained personnel.<br />

<strong>Location:</strong> Arrey, NM<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Arrey, NM: Aerologist Charles B. Moore,
Jr., while tracking a weather balloon for General Mills Co. with a
theodolite, suddenly noticed a 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 disappeared 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!).<br />

Armed Forces Special Weapons Project personnel at Sandia Base, New
Mexico. LaPaz outlines plans for a network of visual, photographic,
spectrographic, and radar observations covering Los Alamos, Sandia, and
White Sands. Scientist <a

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 4/27/1949<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> Pentagon Office of Public Information<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> A 22-page memorandum for the press
(629-49) on “Project Saucer” is released by the Pentagon Office of
Public Information, scheduled deliberately to coincide with part one of
Shalett’s article in the Saturday Evening Post. The writer is unknown,
but it is more pro-ETH than the current Project Grudge mentality,
listing several solid and dramatic cases. It concludes: “The ‘saucers’
are not a joke. Neither are they a cause for alarm to the population.”
The discrepancy between Shalett’s mostly dismissive tone and the
positivity of the Project Saucer statement causes Maj. <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald%5FKeyhoe">Donald E.
Keyhoe</a> to wonder if there is a major disagreement about UFOs within
the Air Force.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 4/27/1949<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> Killeen Base, Texas<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 9:20 p.m. Two Army patrolmen southeast of
Killeen Base, Texas, see a blinking violet light no more than 1.5 inches
in diameter and only 10–12 feet from them, 6–7 feet above the ground.
During the 60-second observation, the light passes through the branches
of a tree. At 9:25 p.m., 2 miles away, four Army soldiers see a 4-inch
light with a 2–4-inch metallic cone attached to the back. It silently
approaches them in a level flight at 60–70 mph. It disappears to the
southwest at a distance of 150 feet. At about 9:37 p.m., a 2-inch-wide
white light appears 100 feet away to the northwest, flying in a zig-zag
fashion in a level path 6 feet above the ground. It vanishes abruptly. A
third light shows up at 9:39 p.m. in the west-southwest.<br />

<strong>Location:</strong> Joint Intelligence Committee<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> USAF Director of Intelligence <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles%5FP.%5FCabell">Charles
Cabell</a> sends a report on “Unidentified Aerial Objects” to the Joint
Intelligence Committee. It summarizes the history of Project Sign up to
its redesignation as Grudge and adds an appendix on “Unidentified Aerial
Objects: Fact and Discussion,” which is basically a short version of the
sanitized February 11 Sign report, with some green fireball information
added. It recommends sending reports of unidentified “light phenomena”
to the scientific community and reports of “atomic powered craft of
unusual design” to the AEC. It concludes that “There are numerous
reports from reliable and competent observers for which a conclusive
explanation has not been made” and that some “involve configurations and
described performance which might conceivably represent an advanced
aerodynamical development. A few unexplained incidents surpass these
limits of credulity. It is unlikely that a foreign power would expose a
superior aerial weapon by a prolonged ineffectual penetration of the
United States.” This essentially resurrects the ETH as a possibility,
without clearly stating it.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 5:45 p.m. Howard Hann [Hamm?], a
Mr. Hubert [Huber?], and Tex Keahey see a very large, bright, sausage-
shaped object travel from northeast to southwest over the rim of the
Catalina Mountains near Tucson, Arizona, over a period of 12 minutes.
The object is shiny metallic and reflects the sun, apparently revolving
as it moves like the “slow roll of an airplane.” There is no noise, nor
is there exhaust or a vapor trail. There are no wings or engines or
“protuberances of any sort.” It appears to be traveling at 300–600
mph.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 10:00 a.m. The Fourth US Army has
approached AFOSI in San Antonio to offer assistance in investigating
green fireballs and the Killeen lights. They arrange a meeting with
AFOSI, ONI, CIC, the FBI, and the Armed Forces Special Weapons Project
at Camp Hood, Killeen, Texas, the first of several weekly meetings. Army
and Navy officials agree that the fireballs remain unexplained. AFSWP
personnel believe they are natural phenomena; AFOSI and FBI give no
opinion. The Fourth Army urges AFOSI to create an observation system,
even though it had just secretly created one of its own on May 4.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 5/6/1949<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> Kapustin Yar site, Astrakhan Oblast, Russia;
Volga River; Saratov<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Soviet test pilot Arkady Ivanovich
Apraksin takes a new airplane for a flight at the Kapustin Yar site,
Astrakhan Oblast, Russia. At its maximum ceiling of 9.3 miles, he
encounters a cucumber-shaped object, similar to the one he encountered
on June 16, 1948, that directs cones of light at his aircraft from a
distance of 6–7 miles. The lights cause his communications equipment to
fail and damage part of his plexiglass cockpit canopy that results in a
loss of air pressure. He manages to land on the banks of the Volga River
30 miles from Saratov. He wakes up in a hospital in Saratov. He again
undergoes intense interrogation, psychotherapy, and medical
procedures.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> Part two of Shalett’s article on UFOs
appears in the May 7 issue of the Saturday Evening Post, which takes a
more skeptical tone than the first part, with the Gorman case receiving
a particularly harsh thrashing. However, he treats Chiles-Whitted
favorably and ends with some hints on how to make good observations.
Within a few days, the frequency of UFO reports hits an all-time high.
USAF issues another long press release completely debunking UFOs, but it
has no effect.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> On this day, a decorated Soviet test pilot
named Apraksin was flying over the Volga River in Russia, 40 kilometers
north of the city of Saratov, when his aircraft’s electrical system was
knocked out of operation by a cone of light from a cucumber-shaped UFO
after he attempted to approach it. He was blinded by the light, but
managed to land the crippled aircraft despite his incapacitation in an
abrupt emergency landing. He then lost consciousness and was confined to
hospital to recuperate.<br />

href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald%5FHoward%5FMenzel">Donald H.
Menzel</a> leaves Holloman AFB on Highway 70 for Alamogordo, New Mexico.
Shortly after noticing the star Antares, he sees another fuzzy object in
the sky nearer to the horizon. A second object appears three degrees to
the south. Determining that the objects are not Castor and Pollux or
reflections, Menzel watches them another 4 minutes. Both objects vanish
abruptly.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Oak Ridge, Tennessee; center of Oak
Ridge<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> Three women (one a schoolteacher, another
a biologist working at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and a third who is the wife
of a member of the Security Division, AEC, Oak Ridge) observe an odd
trio of “flying saucers” for about 15 minutes: “It was described as
consisting of two identical rectangular-shaped objects which appeared to
be coordinated in movement and which moved in wave-like motion. The
third object was circular in shape and appeared to be in level flight
between and above the two rectangular objects. The rectangular objects
appeared to be bright metal on top but dark underneath, while the color
of the circular object was the same as that of frosted glass. The
‘flying saucer,’ when last sighted, was in level flight and was flying
in a northwesterly direction. The weather was clear with high cumulus
clouds. The ‘flying saucer’ flew at speed of from 10 to 15 mph over an
area just about the center of Oak Ridge.”<br />

<strong>Location:</strong> Los Alamos, New Mexico<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph%5FKaplan">Kaplan</a> responds
to a July 1 letter from Gen. <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles%5FP.%5FCabell">Charles P.
Cabell</a> inquiring about his April visit to Los Alamos, New Mexico. He
explains that he has deliberately waited two months to report because he
wanted to have a cooling off period from the deep impression the New
Mexico witnesses had on him. Moreover, he wants to see if the green
fireballs are still reported (they are) before he recommends a
full-scale instrumented program. He says that <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norris%5FBradbury">Norris
Bradbury</a><a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norris%5FBradbury">,</a> the Los
Alamos lab director, has urged that a classified scientific conference
be held to discuss the phenomena. Kaplan suspects that the fireballs are
an auroral phenomenon, but concedes that their horizontal motion and
southern appearance are “difficult to explain.” He recommends a
photographic and spectrographic patrol that would stay on to look out
for the fireballs.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> 12:03 p.m. Henry Clark, manager of a
flying service, is flying a Piper PA-16 Clipper at 19,000 feet 10 miles
northwest of Mountain Home, Idaho, when he sees a tight formation of 7
delta-shaped objects, 35–55 feet in diameter near his plane. They make a
perfect and unbanked right turn 1,500 feet ahead of his plane, then they
turn right again, passing the aircraft at about 450–500 mph. Clark’s
engine runs rough during the sighting, which lasts 10 minutes. After he
lands, he finds all his spark plugs burned out. When Blue Book
investigates the case, they confiscate the spark plugs.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> On this afternoon five luminous
disc-shaped objects flew in V-formation over Medford, Oregon and were
sighted by three witnesses in flight aboard a military aircraft. The
discs were estimated to be 35 feet in diameter, and were flying to the

<strong>Description:</strong> USAF’s AMC issues a final 600-page report,
“Unidentified Flying Objects—Project Grudge,” Technical Report
102-AC-49/15-100, or “The Grudge Report,” authored by Lt. Howard W.
Smith and <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/59257302/george-w%5F-towles">George
W. Towles</a>. <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J.%5FAllen%5FHynek">Hynek</a>’s
April analysis is included as an appendix. Based on 237 cases, Hynek
finds that 32% can be explained astronomically. Others say 12% are
balloons, 33% are other misidentifications, hoaxes, or insufficient
information. That leaves 23% (55) classed as unknowns. Despite this,
witnesses are mostly deluded, hysterical, lying, or crazy, and “further
study along present lines would only confirm the findings presented
herein.” The report concludes there is little evidence to prove UFOs are
real and do not represent a security threat. It recommends that press
releases be created to “aid in dispelling public apprehension.” On the
other hand, it suggests that military and government agencies interested
in “psychological warfare” be informed of the findings. Appendix D is
written by USAF Scientific Advisory Board member <a
href="http://news.mit.edu/1999/valley-1020">George E. Valley</a>, who
writes that extraterrestrial civilizations “might observe that on Earth
we now have atomic bombs and are fast developing rockets. In view of the
past history of mankind, they should be alarmed. We should, therefore,
expect at this time above all to behold such visitations.” Project
Grudge enters a period of dormancy until July 1950. The report is
classified Secret until August 1, 1952.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> A young girl in Wola Drzewiecka, Poland,
sees a dark green object nearby like two bowls put together and about 5
feet in diameter. She walks right up to it and touches its metallic
surface with her index finger, getting a mild electric vibration and
making her fingertip turn red. The object begins rotating, then rises up
and disappears to the south at an altitude of 50 feet. In the distance
she sees another object that she says remained in the same spot for
several days.<br />

New Mexico. Crozier says he thinks the copper particles may have come
from a campus building, although samples from the open country contain
the same particles. LaPaz notes that copper is extremely rare in
meteorites, although it might explain the yellow-green color of the
fireballs. He suggests that further air and ground samples be taken in
areas where the fireballs are seen.<br />

of the St. Peter and Paul Church in Norwood, Ohio, has purchased from
Army surplus an 8-million-candlepower searchlight for his church
carnival. Sgt. Donald R. Berger of ROTC of the University of Cincinnati
is to operate it. During the festivities, Berger’s sweeping searchlight
suddenly flashes across a stationary circular object in the sky. Miller
and others join in and observe. When Berger moves the searchlight away,
the disc continues to glow. Hundreds of calls are received by Cincinnati
Post and Cincinnati Enquirer offices regarding fireballs and comet-like
objects all across the Cincinnati area this first night. The searchlight
picks up the same or similar objects on nine further occasions, the last
being on March 10, 1950.<br />

<strong>Location:</strong> Lubbock, Texas<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 9:30–10:00 p.m. Two residents of Lubbock,
Texas, see 9 clusters of objects “similar to ducks flying in formation,”
bright silver and roughly round in shape. There are as many as 50
objects in all the formations except one. They seem to be traveling at
5,000 feet altitude, going north to south. Each light is visible for
about 10 seconds, but it takes 30 minutes for all the objects to pass
overhead. One witness is convinced the objects are ducks.<br />

covers 200 miles of sky up to 100,000 feet. A legitimate radar contact
tracks five apparently metallic objects at a great height moving south
and crossing the radar scope in less than 4 minutes (an average of about
4,500 mph).<br />

href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/79461100/lester-wolfe">Lester
Wolfe</a> and five others 5 miles southeast of Lexington, Nebraska, are
threshing wheat when they see three objects coming from the general
direction of the sun (southwest). As the objects move, they give off a
dazzling brilliance. They maintain a level flight with two of the
objects changing positions as they fly. The power of the illumination
remains constant throughout the incident (no pulses or flashes). Once
the objects reach a direction northwest of the observers, they make a
smooth 90° turn straight upwards and climb rapidly out of sight. Dean
Wolfe is a recent graduate of a two-year course in aeronautical design
and thinks the objects look like domed discs when viewed face forward,
but are more like stubby, wingless, tailless fuselages when seen from
the side. About 5 miles away, <a

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 10/14/1949<br />
<strong>Locations:</strong> San Diego County, California; Point Loma,
California; Palomar Gardens Café<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 1:15 p.m. <a
href="http://palomarskies.blogspot.com/2009/04/who-are-you-callin-dummy.html">Harley
C. Marshall</a><a
href="http://palomarskies.blogspot.com/2009/04/who-are-you-callin-dummy.html">,</a> manager
of public relations at Palomar Observatory in San Diego County,
California, is driving away from the observatory when he sees a perfect
“V of V’s” formation of about 16–18 silver objects without tails or
wings overhead traveling at high speed to the northwest and emitting a
sound like jets. He stops and watches them disappear behind the cloud
cover. Returning to the observatory, he phones electrician <a
href="https://calisphere.org/item/aa361e48f44cf8ee0f94886f6639c1db/">Benjamin
B. Traxler</a><a
href="https://calisphere.org/item/aa361e48f44cf8ee0f94886f6639c1db/">,</a> who
at 1:20 p.m. sees one dark UFO traveling to the southwest. Marshall
checks the Navy Electronics Laboratory Geiger counter on site and sees
that the needle has jumped off the scale for several seconds. For the
next 10 days, another 21 incidents of off-scale cosmic-ray detector
incidents occur at scattered times, fitting a periodic 1.5-hour time
schedule, a phenomenon not seen before or after, and unexplainable by
equipment failure or radio interference from aircraft. Two
representatives of the Office of Naval Research and two from the Naval
Electronics Laboratory in Point Loma, California (<a
href="http://maxfieldgenealogy.com/maxfieldjs9001.html">Joseph P.
Maxfield</a> and G. L. Bloom), visit the observatory to investigate the
readings, but not before they stop in at Alice Wells’s Palomar Gardens
Café on the way in. After <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George%5FAdamski">George
Adamski</a> claims he has seen increased UFO activity in the area
(including a sighting about the same time as another observation by
Traxler on October 21), they ask him if he would send them any photos he
might take with one of his telescopes. He gives them a copy of a
telescopic photo he took in February 1949 with his 15-inch reflector.
The Naval Electronics Lab later attributes the photo to “electric
discharge which frequently occurs in cameras during film pulling in dry
or cold climates.” Several Navy aircraft of differing prop and jet types
are flown near the observatory using radio, altimeter, and radars on
October 21 and November 2 in an unsuccessful effort to trigger the
Geiger counter.<br />

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 10/23/1949<br />
<strong>Location:</strong> St. Peter and Paul Church in Norwood,
Ohio<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 7:15–10:45 p.m. Rev. <a
href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/5347017/gregory-a-miller">Gregory
Miller</a> has set up his searchlight once again at St. Peter and Paul
Church in Norwood, Ohio. Sgt. Berger turns on the light and picks up a
large object in the beam. At about 10:00 p.m., the searchlight picks up
two distinct groups of five triangular objects that seem to emerge from
the main disc. They descend on the beam then turn out of it. The same
performance is repeated 30 minutes later. About 50 persons, including
newspaper reporters observe the objects. Miller takes several
photographs and asks Sgt. Leo Davidson of the Norwood police department
to film the display. He uses three rolls, 25 feet each, and a Hugo-Meyer
F-19- 3” camera with telephoto lens. Davidson also takes 10 still
photographs of the large disc-shaped object that flies in and out of the
searchlight beam, using a Speed-Graphic camera with a 14-inch Wallensach
telephoto lens. Two of these are exceptional shots, showing both the
parent object and the smaller group. These two pictures are last seen by
Time-Life correspondent Harry Mayo, who has prepared a feature story for
Time, which was to include them. But Mayo’s story and Miller’s photos
were not used in Time or Life and, in spite of requests by Miller, these
two photos are never returned.<br />

Kaplan</a> brings the green fireball plan to the USAF Scientific
Advisory Board at the Pentagon. By this time, he is convinced the
fireballs are a rare type of meteor. But others are puzzled by the
brightness, trajectories, and soundlessness, Kaplan says, “This high
selectivity of direction seems to indicate that some group was trying to
pinpoint Los Alamos with a new sort of weapon.”<br />

the Strait of Hormuz between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. He
observes a huge, pulsating submarine light wheel, some 1,000–1,500 feet
in diameter, one mile from his ship. It is revolving around an
ill-defined center with streaks of light like searchlight beams moving
counterclockwise “like the spokes of a gigantic wheel.” He thinks it is
caused by natural phosphorescence, stimulated by some marine life.<br />

<strong>Locations:</strong> Hanford Site plutonium production facility;
eastern Washington<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> The US government releases radioactive
fission products at the Hanford Site plutonium production facility in
eastern Washington in an operation called Green Run. The radioisotopes
are supposed to be detected by US Air Force reconnaissance. Sources cite
5,500–12,000 curies of iodine-131 are released and an even greater
amount of xenon-133. The radiation is distributed over 500,000 acres
encompassing three small towns and causes the cessation of intentional
radioactive releases at Hanford until 1962, when more experiments
commence. There are some indications that many other tests are conducted
in the 1940s prior to Green Run, although this is a particularly large
test. Evidence suggests that filters to remove the iodine are disabled
during the test.<br />

<strong>Location:</strong> Volta Redonda, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil<br />
<strong>Description:</strong> 5:00 p.m. Mario Restier is returning home
from his father’s place in Volta Redonda, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, when
he notices a disc land about 32–50 feet from the road. He hears a voice
telling him not to be afraid and asking if he wants to know what it’s
all about. Two beings about 5 feet 5 inches emerge from the UFO wearing
togas and helmets. Restier asks them if they believe in God, and they
answer, “God is one.” Encouraged, he enters the craft where he is
offered a trip, put in a tub filled with liquid, and taken on a trip to
a city on another world. He is shown a screen that depicts human nature,
ambitions, and violence. After about 6 hours, he is returned to the spot
where he was abducted. Returning to his father’s house, he finds it is
April 14, 1950, and has lost nearly four months of earth time.<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> A 23-year-old man named Restier was
driving home from Barra Mansa to Volta Redonda, Brazil at around 5:00
a.m. when he saw a 15-meter diameter disc land near the highway. Two
beings came out, who looked human and were 1.65 meters tall but acted
robotic in many ways. He claimed he went with them on an otherworld
journey, during which he was put into a tub of liquid for the duration.
After what seemed like three days he was returned, but the elapsed time
had actually been four months (the return date was April 14th,
1950).<br />

<strong>Description:</strong> The January 1950 issue of True magazine is
published, with <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald%5FKeyhoe">Donald Keyhoe</a>’s
article, “The Flying Saucers Are Real.” Keyhoe argues that the Air Force
knows UFOs are real, alien, and covering up information from the public
in order to avoid panic: “For the past 175 years, the planet Earth has
been under systematic close- range examination by living, intelligent
observers from another planet.” The Air Force finds itself buried in
letters, telegrams, and phone calls demanding information about flying
saucers.<br />
