Here is part two of this fascinating case from the recently released Canadian UFO files;Here see the conclusions and scientific annalist of this object
Center for Orbital and Reentry Debris Studies apparently has “lists of all the major bits of recovered debris from satellite re-entries over the years” but that list does NOT contain the debris of this particular crash debris that is the focus of these two posts

i imagine it must have been posted in here already, but in my skimming of the 21 pages i haven't seen it..
pretty incredible video, a bunch of retired US Air Force officers detail their encounters with UFOs....
so it seems to be the case that they are visiting nuclear weapon bases most often, even fucking with the system....trying to send a message that we are tampering with the future of our species and our planet
former Canadian defense minister Paul Hellyer has said that the same kinda thing....that we first made contact with them decades ago and they warned us that we are on a path of destroying ourselves and the planet, they offered to help
we instead tried to fight them

cutn' heads
i came across this today. very detailed report on the sighting at minot AFB in 1968.
A brief description of the event for those new to the subject:
At approximately 11.00 am on Wednesday, 6 April 1966, a class of students and a teacher from Westall High School were just completing sports on the main oval when an object, described as being a grey saucer shaped craft, with a slight purple hue and being about twice the size of a family car, was sighted.
Witness descriptions were mixed: Andrew Greenwood, a science teacher, told "The Dandenong Journal" at the time that he saw a silvery-green disc. According to witnesses the object was descending and then crossed and overflew the high school's south-west corner, going in a south-easterly direction, before disappearing from sight as it descended behind a stand of trees and into a paddock at The Grange in front of the Westall State School.
After a short period (approximately 20 minutes) the object - with witnesses now numbering over 200 - then climbed at speed and departed towards the north-west. As the object gained altitude some accounts describe it as having been pursued from the scene by five unidentified aircraft which circled the object.
t's interesting to note that the 5 aircraft has never been explained, the RAAF denied any knowledge of these craft.
The military turned up quite quickly to investigate the area and question many of the students and staff and then told them to downplay the incident, also the bureau of meteorology stated that they released a weather balloon on Wednesday and it could have drifted to the school
A new investigation was conducted by Shane Ryan, an English lecturer at the University of Canberra in 2006, the 40 year anniversary of the incident.
"Around 30 of the witnesses from that day were interviewed.
On the UFO, everyone seems to agree, Mr Ryan says. It was a low-flying, silver/grey shining object, either of classical flying saucer shape or close to it, "a cup turned upside down on a saucer". The students were familiar with light aircraft because the schools were close to Moorabbin Airport. Although the UFO was of similar size, "everyone said straight away that they knew it was not a plane", Mr Ryan said, nor a weather balloon. "
The object was in view for up to 20 minutes, and many saw it descend. Most agree it landed behind pine trees at the Grange Reserve. Dozens of students ran across what was then an open paddock to the reserve to investigate, but the object had lifted off and vanished.
One of the closest witnesses was a boy whose family leased land at Grange Reserve for horses.
Shaun Matthews was on holidays and spending time on the land.
"I saw the thing come across the horizon and drop down behind the pine trees," he told The Sunday Age this week. "I couldn't tell you what it was. It certainly wasn't a light aircraft or anything of the like …
"I saw the thing drop down behind the pine trees and saw it leave again. I couldn't tell you how long it was there for, it was such a long time ago."
Mr Matthews, 51 and now living in Greenvale, said the object "went up and off very very rapidly".
"I went over and there was a circle in the clearing. It looked like it had been cooked or boiled, not burnt as I remember," he said. "A heap of kids from Westall primary and high school came charging through to see what had happened — 'look at this, look at that, we saw it as well', that sort of thing. It was a bit of a talking point for a couple of days."
Mr Matthews said the object, about the size of "two family cars", passed him at a distance of about "four football fields". "It was silvery, but it had a sort-of purple hue to it, very bright, but not bright enough that you couldn't look at it," he said.
"I saw that it dropped down behind the trees, and I thought, 'hello, hang on'. A minute or so later, it went straight up, just gone."
He said police and other officials interviewed his mother. But he cannot remember them burning the landing site, as others have alleged. And he did not see any light aircraft trailing the object, as others did.
"The way this thing moved there is no way it could have been a weather balloon or a light aircraft," he said.
"A helicopter? No way — no noise, wrong shape, and it didn't move like it. It came out of the distance, stopped, and then just dropped.
"It didn't just sort of cruise and then slightly descend at an angle. It just stopped, dropped, and then went straight up."
This is certainly an unusual case with multiple witnesses, military involvement and cover up (No reports have ever been released) and physical evidence.
I have also found another witness testimony which was conducted in July 2008, another student who was very close to the UFO.
ed grimsley and night vision sightings...apparently with high quality NV goggles you can see whole fleets of ufos in the sky. to top it off there seems to be a war going on up there...

Here is the web site of Geipan ,the French UFO files, including recent releases;Some very interesting cases of sightings ect on this data base,again recommended for the serious UFO student;
Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena The D-type 23% of stories
they are investigations that failed to advance an explanation for the observations reported, despite the quality and consistency of data and evidence. It is in the true sense of the term, "unidentified aerospace phenomena."
Red Bluff Incident;Police Officers Encounter;1960;
Amazing case involving two highway patrol police officers who encountered a object displaying very high strangeness, this case was investigated professionally and stands out as ,(after all the evidence concludes ),a case that posses more questions than answers;

Red Bluff Incident
Red Bluff, California
August 13, 1960;
quote;
Aug. 13, 1960..Red Bluff, CA: California Highway Patrol Officers Charles A. Carson and Stanley Scott were on patrol when they sighted what they thought was an airliner about to crash. When the UFO had descended to about 100 or 200 feet altitude it suddenly reversed direction and climbed to 500 ft.
Description: round or oblong surrounded by a glow (color not mentioned) and having definite red lights at each end. They continued to watch the UFO as it performed "unbelievable" aerial feats. The local RADAR operator confirmed the UFO at this time but denied it the next day. Other Tehema County Sheriffs' officers also saw this UFO and another similar one that same night. (NICAP, 1964)

Red Bluff Incident
Red Bluff, California
August 13, 1960;
Richard Hall:
quote;
California Highway Patrol Officers Charles A. Carson and Stanley Scott were patrolling at 11:50 p.m. when they saw what they took to be an airliner about to crash directly in front of them. Instead, when it descended to about 100 or 200 feet altitude, the object "suddenly reversed completely, at high speed, and gained approximately 500 feet ... (and) stopped ... It was surrounded by a glow making the round or oblong object visible. At each end ... there were definite red lights. As we watched the object moved again and performed feats that were actually unbelievable."
The local radar base confirmed a UFO at this time (but denied it next day). "We made several attempts to ... get closer to it, but the object seemed to be aware of us and we were more successful remaining motionless and allow it to approach us, which it did on several occasions."
Each time it did so, they experienced strong radio interference as the UFO emitted a red beam of light that swept the area and illuminated the ground. "The object was capable of moving in any direction. Up and down, back and forth ... it moved at high (extremely) speeds and several times we watched it change directions or reverse itself while moving at unbelievable speeds."
The UFO moved easterly away from them and they attempted to follow. A second similar object joined it, and both hovered for some time, occasionally emitting the red light beams, finally disappearing over the eastern horizon. Other officers at the Tehama County Sheriff's office also saw the UFO and witnessed its incredible maneuvers.

MUFON has always held a respect and a gratituded for myself,putting aside the in fighting ect this old UFO investigation network has carried out some valuable research in the UFO field and now has offered up and provided a modern and up to date revolutionary and ground breaking mobile application consisting of educational and interactive tools involved in the UFO phenomena.This new way of getting the public's interaction or reporting abilities of UFO sightings is the way ahead in the present day of UFO reporting;
The below info and links provided set out the different areas that these new mobile applications consisting of educational and interactive tools involved in the UFO phenomena are offering and could in the long run provide a greater clarity and whole new perception of this UFO mystery;The video provided sets out the goals of this new whole and modern approach;
quote;
"Skywatch Alert is the UFO Connect's flagship application. This module will revolutionize how the general public, UFO/Skywatcher enthusiast and serious UFO investigator interacts and witness the phenomena we have come to know as UFOs. This application works much like the well known Amber Alert system for missing persons and law enforcement activity. Witnesses of a current UFO event will participate in this by being the source of the Alert.
Skywatch Alerts main inspiration cam from the developed from Operation Skywatch, a US Air Force program that enrolled over 1.5 million volunteers to watch the sky for potential enemy aircraft during WWII. The same concept is applied here where potentially several million individuals around the world will contribute to the UFO Connect Skywatch alert system allowing for millions more to witness a UFO event.
This application will give the users the power to witness the UFO events as they are happening. Users will be able to not only monitor their preferred customized Alert areas but will also have the ability to alert everyone of a live witnessed event too. Simply the user fills out the report form, takes a picture or video of a UFO sighting and alerts any user in the area of their customized alert preferences. The purpose of these functions is to put the power of disclosure and understanding of the UFO phenomena in the people’s hands instantly.
Map View;
The Skywatch Alert Module will automatically open up in the map view with the default alert or previously set settings. The map view acts as a visual aid to visualize the locations of the most recent sightings. The gray targets represent reports within the last 24 hours, the yellow targets represent alerts made in the last 6 hours and the red targets are alerts made within the last 2 hours.
When you tap on an alert target you will be able to see a summery detail about the alert. Tap the information again and you will be brought to the full report made by the individual.
Of course in all menus the preferences button for your alert settings and the button to make a Alert will always be present at the base of the screen.
List View;
In addition to the map view the list view will be also available as it is in the UFO Search module. Here you can select the reports you want to view the same way you can select the report details in the map view. As in both view modes you can modify your alert area with the easy scrolling toggle at the top of the view screen. As usual if you need help with the app the help menu is only a tap away.
Alert Reports;
The alert report view allows the user to see the details about the alerted sighting and the witness’s description and any video and/or video collected of the sighting. This will allow the receiving user to react to the alert more effectively. Some of the unique qualities of the alert information provided are items automatically recorded into the system like date, time location, angle the mobile device collected the video and or photo as well as the direction from with the witness was facing.
Location Privacy;
Some may have concerns about the app knowing or following the users location. We have thought of that too. Simply when making an alert opt out of the app to follow ones position and use the drop pin option toggle. It will simply place a pin where you would like the alert to identify where the sighting occurred allowing for user privacy.
My Locations;
Exploring the Alert Setting you will find it easy to make multiple alert locations.
What are these alert location, well they are areas you would like to be notified about if there is a alert made about a sighting within the locations zone. This will also allow you to ignore areas you may not want alerts coming from. Multiple in app sounds will be made available for the user to use to help with identifying their different alert settings. You can even narrow it down to UFO characteristics or set to current events that may be happening geographically in a specific area.
Managing these alerts and redefining the alerts within your preference will also be simple yet powerful.
Push Notifications;
Even when you are not in the app, the setting where you toggle the push notifications to the on position will display a push notification on your mobile devices screen.
"The MUFON Mobil Application allows the user to freely navigate MUFON's online content from the comfort of their mobile device. This module also provides some quick tips and educational material on investigating the UFO Phenomena"
"UFO Search is a comprehensive application that allows the user to search the MUFON database quickly and easily while on the go. MUFON's database holds tens of thousands of reports spread out all over the world.

WHAT IS UFO CONNECT?
"UFO Connect is a revolutionary and ground breaking mobile application consisting of educational and interactive tools involved in the UFO phenomena. The mobile application consists of free and pay for modules with varying capabilities. This application was constructed for volunteers to help better communicate and educate MUFONs (Mutual UFO Network) primary mission to "The Scientific Study of UFO's for the Benefit of Humanity". in addition the application will revolutionize the public interaction with the UFO phenomena forever";
"The mobile application consists of three main modules, MUFON Mobil App, UFO Search and Skywatch Alert. The primary goal of this game changing application is to provide the most connective means to learning about and experiencing the world wide phenomena UFOs".
Close range ufo sightings;
In this post we find those UFO reports that are deemed "close range" ,the below quote from Professor James E. McDonald from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics sums up a real mystery that some witnesses have encountered and one area that is so often over looked because of the closeness of these objects that are witnessed;
quote;
"The type of UFO reports that are most intriguing are close-range sightings of machine-like objects of unconventional nature and unconventional performance characteristics, seen at low altitudes, and sometimes even on the ground. The general public is entirely unaware of the large number of such reports that are coming from credible witnesses... When one starts searching for such cases, their number are quite astonishing. Also, such sightings appear to be occurring all over the globe."
Professor James E. McDonald from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics at the University of Arizona speaking at the AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics) in 1968;
SECTION IV;
Close Range Reports and Structural Details;
quote;
"The report which follows was personally checked by a NICAP investigator. The witness was known locally as thoroughly reliable".
Bengough, Saskatchewan, February 19, 1968;
Mrs. Martha Heggs, a Canadian farmwife living five miles west of Bengough, Saskatchewan, was at work in her kitchen shortly before noon on February 19, 1968, when she became acutely conscious of a high-pitched whine, the intensity of which was penetrating to a degree similar to a mild physical electric shock, causing a tingling sensation throughout her body. Looking out her kitchen window, which faces on the south, Mrs. Heggs saw an object approximately 100 yards to the south of the house, immediately above and circling around a 29-foot pole with an electric transformer on it.
This object, seen very clearly and distinctly at close range, consisted of a base approximately eight feet wide appearing like two saucers placed edge-to-edge, surmounted by a dome about four feet wide. A series of ports, round on top, extended straight down to the base of the dome. Atop the dome was a smaller structure, above which was an antenna-like super-structure topped with a small sphere. (See diagram, p. 000).
The color of the body of the UFO was dull aluminum; the second- story dome was entirely vented, in appearance somewhat similar to a radiator grill. The ports, six or seven in number and encircling the lower dome, were slightly indented and white in color, giving the appearance of frosted glass. No light shone through.
The object, about one foot above the transformer pole, was slowly circling it in a counter-clockwise movement. After about four circuits, the object moved southeast, still remaining within the area of the farmyard, and descending to within three feet of the ground. The UFO hovered in front of several abandoned automobiles for approximately five minutes. (Mrs. Heggs noticed no visible exhaust and, later, found no evidence of melted snow in the area.)
Following this, the object rose up about 20 feet, or slightly higher then four nearby grain bins, and moved north, circling two parked tractors and several parked trucks and fuel tanks. The UFO then moved toward a well, about 40 feet east of the farm house. Mrs. Heggs had gone to a window on the east side of the house, and she saw that the object was about eight feet above the electric pump. Frightened, she locked the door on that side of the house, then watched the UFO move toward a windbreak of trees.
It followed the windbreak north, rising somewhat, then veered to the left as it came to a row of trees north of the house. At the center of this north windbreak, the main road enters the yard; the object, still nine to twelve feet above the ground, left the farm yard through this entrance, keeping low and heading toward the north until it disappeared from view. The entire episode had lasted approximately twenty minutes.
A short time later, Mrs. Heggs' husband returned home and found the door locked. When his wife let him in, his first words were, "Woman, what has happened to you?" He told the NICAP investigator his wife was "white as a sheet." Mrs. Heggs reported that when she first saw the UFO she noticed their dog cowering and lying in the snow, trying to cover its ears with its paws. As soon as the object left, the dog attempted to get into the house. Sixteen head of cattle, running loose in the south central section of the farmyard, bolted when the object moved into the area,
entering the cattle sheds, from which they did not emerge until at least a half-hour after the disappearance of the object. The witness admitted that she had been badly shaken by the object's appearance, since she had been alone, except for her baby and pre-school son.

Odessa, Delaware, February 9, 1967;
At about 8:45 p.m. on February 9, 1967, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Guseman of Middletown, Delaware, were driving south on U.S. 13 toward Odessa. They had just crossed a bridge over a canal when Mr. Guseman saw two lights near the road ahead and to their left. The left light was green and the one on the right red. Suddenly two bright white lights came on between the colored ones. Thinking they were landing lights, Guseman said to his wife, "Look at the crazy plane trying to land!"
As the couple drew nearer, they could see the lights were stationary and attached to a large and unfamiliar object. Only the white lights were visible as they came up opposite to the object, across the highway from them. It sat motionless just over the trees approximately 200 feet from them at an altitude of about 70 or 80 feet.
Mr. Guseman rolled down his left window and he and his wife studied the object more closely. It was disc-shaped with a kind of cupola under the main body. Its width was estimated at about 50 feet and its height at about 20 feet at the thickest point. Except for the top, the object was clearly visible, a dark gray silhouette against the lighter sky.
The surface was smooth and the bright white lights appeared to be searchlights affixed to the front end. The beams of these lights were wider at the ends than at the source and only the source of the closer beam was visible, the other being hidden by the body of the object.
The rather squared cupola, or "gondola," contained a horizontal row of windows which gave forth a faint soft light, steady and uninterrupted by any forms or movement. The light was described as "yellowish" by Mr. Guseman, "pinkish" by his wife. On the bottom of this gondola, in the center, were three red lights which shone with an even intensity.
For about two minutes the couple watched the object as it hovered motionless. Several cars and trucks passed on the high-way, but none slowed down or appeared to take notice. Then suddenly the two forward beams of light began to swing upward until they were pointed at a 45-degree angle from horizontal, shining upwards and out into the night sky. As soon as they reached this new position, the object began moving in a forward direction toward the north, and to the left of the witnesses.
As it moved, the Gusemans heard a soft hum or buzz, similar to the sound of an electric motor. The UFO proceeded in a slow, straight trajectory at an even altitude and as it changed its angle of perspective relative to the viewers' position, it presented the same circular, disc-shape with the undercarriage and windows below.
After moving approximately two or three hundred feet to the north over the trees, the UFO seemed literally to disappear. They assumed it had dropped down into a field beyond the tree-line, but when they drove near the field to check further they saw nothing; nor could they find any evidence on the ground where the UFO had hovered when they searched it with a flashlight.
Guseman, 29 at the time of the sighting, is president of the Delmarva Contracting Company, Middletown; his wife is a business administrator in Wilmington Memorial Hospital. Their sighting was investigated by NICAP staff members Stuart Nixon and Isabel Davis and they were later questioned further at NICAP headquarters by Dr. James E. McDonald. The witnesses were articulate, unemotional and cooperative in both their interviews.

Washington, D.C., August 1, 1966;
On July 31 and August 1, 1966, there was a flurry of sightings in the general area of Washington and Baltimore. Prince Georges County police watched lighted objects maneuvering erratically across the sky. In Baltimore, residents of the Country Ridge housing development were awakened early in the morning of August 1 by barking dogs. At least two families saw a hovering, egg-shaped object with flashing lights on the top and bottom. The object made a loud whirring or whining noise, according to the Baltimore News-American (8/1).
That night, physicist Vasil Uzunoglu, a consultant on micro-electronics, was driving north and east on the Capital (Washington, D.C.) Beltway about 10:55 p.m. (EDT). He had passed Andrews Air Force Base when, out of his open left window, he saw a light descend and appear to hover briefly, then move rapidly to the east. Minutes later an oblong object "like a submarine" descended over a house to his left.
This time the UFO was much closer, its apparent size as large as the house. Dr. Uzunoglu slowed his car and looked at the object, now an estimated 200 feet away, for about ten seconds. At this point it showed details of structure: a peaked top with a red light; an apparently rounded undersurface with red lights; and a large yellow revolving light slightly off-center.
"I could see clearly the top of the body, which was a dark, non-shining material with no sharp edges," he told NICAP. "The most striking part was the eye-like object off-center to the right, with two distinct yellow regions. . . (The lower region) was revolving, blinking or scanning. . ."
Dr. Uzunoglu turned his attention to the highway again, noting that no other cars were in sight. When he glanced back again, the object was moving south "at a very high speed and comparatively low elevation." He said it disappeared in seconds.
In one of the recurring ironies of the UFO controversy, the March 1966 Michigan "swamp gas" sightings received all the publicity while similar localized waves elsewhere remained all but unknown. Such a concentration of close-range sightings occurred in eastern Massachusetts a month after the "swamp gas" reports.
A summary report for the month, prepared by Massachusetts NICAP Subcommittee Chairman Raymond Fowler, logs 18 sightings between April 11 and 23 along the eastern Massachusetts shore from Danvers, north of Boston, to Attleboro, near the Connecticut border. The large majority of sightings occurred over city residential areas, and the predominant shape of the reported objects was oval. Virtually all had body lights; several gave off high-pitched humming noises.
On two consecutive nights, April 18/19 and 19/20, there were at least 6 reports. About midnight on the 18th, Mr. and Mrs. George May of Sharon were arriving home when they saw an egg-shaped object descend and hover about 500 feet above an open field adjoining their property. At each end of the UFO was a small red light. A band of yellow light across the length of the object gave the impression of windows. After about ten minutes, the UFO rose slowly in an upward slant, then accelerated and rapidly disappeared.
On the evening of the 19th, a group of people gathered at the May home in hopes of seeing the UFO sighted the night before. About 11:45 p.m. some blinking, color-changing lights were noted in the northeast. Mrs. May called the Sharon police, and two officers were dispatched to the scene. About midnight, the two officers were relieved by a new shift, Sgt. Bernard Coffey and Officer Frederick Jones. Nothing of consequence transpired for the few minutes that the first officers were present, except the sightings of distant lights in the sky. Sgt. Coffey's report of what followed:
"About 12:10 a.m. . . . Officer Jones and myself watched these distant lights with the Mays. One of these objects was in a northwesterly direction, similar to a star, only brighter. It appeared to be rotating and changing colors from red to white to green. There were two other objects of the same description in a southwesterly direction. While we were observing these distant lights, Mrs. May said `here it comes,' or `there it is,' and we all looked in an easterly direction.
The object appeared to be a falling star at a great distance, only three times the size of a star, and brighter. Within a matter of two or three seconds the object appeared over the tree line on the easterly side of the field in front of the Mays' house about 200-300 yards away from us and approximately 500 feet up. When it was hovering over the tree line it appeared as a very bright, large mass of white light with a ballish [round] appearance. It made no noise whatsoever and did not cast any light onto the tree line or ground below.
"The object stopped and hovered over the tree line for approximately two or three minutes. While it hovered a plane passed over in a northerly direction. When the plane moved off the object started to move across the field in front of us in a southwesterly direction. As the object passed in front of us I viewed a red light in front and a red light to the rear that remained on (not flashing) and a wide section of white light extending from red light to red light and appeared to be inside lights.
I concentrated on trying to see inside of the object for any figures or movements but failed to detect any signs of life or figures. I feel as if I did see inside the object. The object disappeared as it went over the tree line in a southwesterly direction."
Also on the early morning of the 20th, Mr. David Clapp of Sharon was driving in a northeast direction about a mile from the May home. About 12:15 a.m. he saw a very bright light headed south at a height of 500 to 700 feet. He stopped his car, rolled down the window, and saw the UFO abruptly reverse direction. The light moved rapidly north and disappeared as if into clouds. About the same time, a Sharon woman (name and report on file) was a passenger in a car going east southeast at a position less than a mile from the May home. She saw a bright white light with smaller red lights at each end moving slowly southward at an estimated altitude of 800 to 1000 feet, below some scattered clouds. The light disappeared upwards as if into the clouds.
Earlier in the evening of the 19th, Mrs. Peggy Kudla in Bellingham, several miles west southwest of Sharon, and another witness, saw a narrow oval or cigar-shaped object of very large apparent size, at first tipped at an angle. At each end was a bright red light, steady at first but blinking later as the UFO moved away. As it began moving, it tilted to a level position. The time was about 10:00 p.m. (EST). The UFO hovered, moved up and down and back and forth over a small area. It was silent while hovering, but gave off a high-pitched hissing sound when it moved. The UFO appeared to be at an altitude of about 200 feet and at its closest point was estimated to be about 300 feet away.
Mr. Fowler's report on the events of April 19 adds: "On this same night at 8 p.m. an oval object giving off a `piercing humming sound' was seen passing over Stoughton, 20 miles west of Bellingham [near Sharon]. It was heading west, toward Bellingham. At 8:11 p.m. two oval objects with red and green lights were sighted near Hartford, Connecticut, hovering over the Rocky Hill Veteran's Home and Hospital, according to a report received by the Rocky Hill police.
At 11:45 p.m. at Quincy, Mass., about 30 miles northeast of Bellingham, there were sightings of disc-shaped objects with red lights hovering and then `swinging like a pendulum'. The Bellingham sighting is typical of the many reports received by the NICAP-Massachusetts Subcommittee."
Since a local advertising plane had often touched off UFO reports, Mr. Fowler checked and learned that the plane did not fly at all on the night of April 19.

Spring 1964;
After a lull in UFO sightings in the early 1960s, a new wave of reports occurred during the spring of 1964. Among the many sighting reports was the widely publicized Socorro, New Mexico, landing case, on April 24. Across the country, literally from coast to coast, other structured objects were observed at relatively close range. These close approaches, landings and near-landings were to set the pattern for the next four years. Although they had happened before, on occasion, the numbers of such close-proximity cases were unprecedented.
************************************************** ********
Sunnyvale, California, June 2, 1964;
While driving toward her home on McKinley Avenue at 10:30 p.m. (PST) on June 2, Mrs. Bruce A. Holmes, of Sunnyvale, California, saw a strange-looking object about a city block's distance from her. The UFO hovered motionless over neighborhood homes at an altitude estimated to be no more than 150 feet and appeared to be about as large as "an 18 by 24-foot living room." The main body of the object was similar to a blimp, somewhat cigar-shaped, but fatter - possibly the shape of a disc thickened at the center. It was dark and barely visible against the darkened sky.
Below this body a slightly rectangular, flat, box-like area was brightly illuminated. The light was shining downward and appeared to come from within this box-like section. Around the entire bottom edge were what appeared to the witness to be "fluttering flags." These were white, and either lighted or reflecting the light from within the boxed area. Although the object itself was quite motionless, the appendages were in constant motion, reminding the witness of the flags used at service stations to attract the attention of customers.
Mrs. Holmes continued toward her home, parked her car and ran into the house to summon her husband. As they hurried outdoors, the object had already begun to move off and upward at about a 40-degree angle, and it was some distance away, heading southeast toward San Jose. The witnesses watched it grow smaller as it moved toward the horizon, between two large trees.
Its speed was about that of a propeller aircraft. Suddenly, the object shot quickly to the left behind one of the trees at extremely high speed, then back again across the same path to the right, behind the other tree. It then moved back into view between the two trees and was joined by two identical objects. The three UFOs continued in the direction of San Jose and disappeared over the horizon. The total length of observation was about ten minutes. The weather at the time of sighting was clear, with a 10 to 15 m.p.h. wind from the north.

Lawrenceville, Illinois, June 8, 1964;
Mrs. Helen Reed, who lives on Route 50 near Lawrenceville, Illinois, described a close-up observation she made of a peculiar- looking object on June 8. At 9:30 p.m., while in her backyard, she looked up and saw a strangely-lighted object in the vicinity of her barn, close to the ground - not more than ten or 15 feet high. It was a typical domed-disc with a flat bottom and when first observed, the dome was glowing a soft, luminous blue. The object moved erratically away from the barn and the dome turned a bright red-orange in color. It executed several sharp, right-angle turns and disappeared behind the shed.
Walking over to a position between her barn and shed, Mrs. Reed saw the object approach at a moderate speed and then stop within 50 feet of her. She estimated it was no more than 15 feet in diameter and she later described a series of round, yellow lights that encircled the base. These lights were "brighter than headlights," but caused her no discomfort as she watched.
The lights then began to rotate from left to right and Mrs. Reed saw that there was one space where a light appeared to be missing. The object hovered in the same position for several seconds, the speed of revolution increasing to a very high r.p.m It then began moving off, making a sharp, right-angle turn toward the north. Without gaining altitude, it disappeared rapidly from view. Mrs. Reed said that as the object departed, its yellow lights were rotating so rapidly that it gave the appearance of a single yellow band around the base. The entire sequence of events had lasted perhaps ten minutes.

Lynn, Massachusetts, June 15, 1964;
A close-range sighting of a domed UFO occurred at Lynn, Massachusetts on the night of June 15. In a NICAP report obtained by Advisor Walter Webb, William Angelos, 20, a technical school student, said that while watching television at 11:10 p.m., he heard a loud, throbbing noise "similar to a rough-running piston engine" immediately outside his family's apartment on Henry Street. His mother, who had just retired, also heard the noise.
Angelos immediately rushed to the door of their apartment, which was located on the ground floor. Looking out into the courtyard between three apartment buildings, he first noticed a red light above the parking lot in the courtyard. He then saw that the red light was on the underside of a large, solid, almost colorless object hardly more than 20 feet away.
The object was shaped like a disc, oriented in a horizontal position, flat on the bottom and with a domed upper surface. When first noticed, the domed disc was approximately 12 feet above the pavement, so that it was seen against the wall of the building on the opposite side of the courtyard. It ascended slowly in a nearly vertical climb toward the west southwest and disappeared in the WSW sky at an elevation of 45 degrees, after a duration of at least a minute.
In his investigation, Webb discovered that several other neighbors had heard the loud sound. At least one had seen the red light flashing through her window at approximately the same time Angelos reported seeing the disc ascending. Other neighbors reported having experienced television interference at the same time.

"Why another web site concerning unidentified flying objects?
Because this one doesn't intend to deal with just the usual fare. There are countless places to go on the Internet to get the latest on UFO sightings, hypotheses, personalities and their squabbles with one another, and so on ad nauseum. One can only rehash the same presentation that has chugged along for many decades before it becomes forgettable from eternal repetition.
What we wish to do here is provide some basics on unidentified flying objects and related aerial peculiarities, coupled with bringing into the open obscure, hard-to-find bits of UFO history from the backwaters of this much maligned topic. This comes from nearly fifty years of our close involvement monitoring the various forms odd aerial phenomena have taken, from aerolites, to airships, to mystery aeroplanes, to ghost rockets, to flying saucers and to the modern views of UFOs.
When the term "UFO" is used here, it is presented in the strictest definition. It does not mean space ship, extraterrestrial vehicle or the like. It means what it says: "unidentified flying object," something in the air that is not known with certainty. Probing such phenomena is not a silly pastime as has often been displayed in the media. Does one label another a "kook" or a "nut" when he/she observes transient weather phenomena that can't be immediately proven, like sun dogs, rainbows, ball lightning, or space phenomena like meteors or transient lunar flashes? Silliness springs forth when ill-grounded interpretation of these phenomena by assorted pundits from all walks of life comes into play.
Consequently we will not be dealing with enthused support of space brother messages, wild government conspiracies and alien invasions. If anything, we will be exceedingly critical of these issues. We feel that the injection of undisciplined rhetoric into discussions of UFOs have ruined a legitimate area of inquiry and created a very poor public image that will be difficult to remove.
This site promises an interesting ride through a museum of aerial phenomena history".

UFO Historical Revue: New England Airship Wave of 1909 UFO Monitors East Kent (clips, 1950-1953)
“When Saucers Came to Earth” by Maurizio Verga;
************************************************** ********
EDITOR: BARRY GREENWOOD; SEPTEMBER 2009;
FROM OUT OF THE PAST;
TIME: September 2006. The U.F.O. Historical Revue was buried along with the airships of the 1890s. But like many UFO stories, UHR is back from the dead. As oldstyle print journals disappear from the newsstands, digital technology allows special interest topics like unusual aerial phenomena to survive through small publications like this without the expense of hardcopy production.The same digital technology now allows us to do research like never before. Billions of pages of information are at our fingertips. With a few clicks we can retrieve government documents, read old newspapers and see detailed photographs.
While UHR slept a waterfall of information rained from cyberspace virtually daily, bulging out research binnders and folders with the most astonishing events that would otherwise have remained lost or delayed indeterminately.his assortment of oddities should flow into the open again. At the same time we note that many names from the past have left us in recent times. John Keel, Richard Hall, Robert Todd, Al Chop, and a host of other researchers and witnesses are lost to us now, except for the results they left behind. It remains for others to continue to unearth and sift what is out there to be discovered, that which those before us did not have the time to reach.
It is thought that a revived UHR can help fill the void from the loss of Hall’s Journal of UFO History.The original plan of UHR was to deal exclusively with pre-1947 aerial phenomena, i.e. aerial phenomena of the distant past. But as I look around it seems that what used to be modern times are rapidly becoming the distant past.There are many adults now who don’t have clear memories of even the 1980s.
So while the primary focus will still be aerial phenomena of long ago, there will still be occasional forays into the late twentieth century if the need arises. Matters relating to government documents (something about which the editor has had a periodical prior to this one) will be given special pages in UHR also when a need arises. There is no release schedule at the moment. “Belief” in UFOs does not exist within these pages.
Such phenomena are noted, researched and reported, but no exotic theories will be endorsed lest UHR join the overcrowded bandwagon of believing answers for which there is inadequate evidence, a chronic problem of this topic for over 60 years now. In this nation that embraces extremes there is nothing wrong with taking a position that while UFO reports are interesting and worthy of investigation, there is no need to force a square conclusion into a round question. There can be such a thing as going forward by looking back. So it begins again.
FBI ACADEMY RECORDS REVEALED;
During the time of publication of the book Clear Intent by Larry Fawcett and myself, I was also a member of Massachusetts MUFON, a state chapter of the Mutual UFO Network. Occasionally tidbits of information regarding government UFO secrecy would come the way of the organization. A good deal of these leads would be junk but a few were worthy of additional inquiryIn 1986, the director of Mass MUFON, Jim Melesciuc, received a communication from his brother in Washington, D.C.
It seemed that while exploring the library of the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia he came upon unusual records.On microfilm were numerous examples of press coverage about UFOs over a wide range of years Jim’s brother decided to do a comprehensive search of the film since he knew his brother was interested in the topic. His first pass yielded eighty articles that were copied and sent to Jim. Subsequently, there were further visits to the Academy, ultimately filling five folders with UFO press coverage from 1978 to 1991.
The clippings dealt with a wide range of subjects, from UFO secrecy to sightings to feature articles about personalities.One was even critical of the government’s management of UFO reports.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++
FBI Academy Subject Categorizations;
From all appearances, the microfilm was created to inform future FBI agents about the UFO topic. How the press coverage was collected is unknown. There seems to be no labeling of the clippings by a press agency. Each item was cut a t and pasted to fit an 8 ˝ X 11 sheet. In the lower left corner of each sheet is a number description, looking like a roll and frame number to locate a particular clip when needed. Four sets of a letter code also appeared on the sheets, their way of subject categorization.One of the codes
“INT” hasn’t been identified but “ENV” seems to stand for “ENVIRONMENT, “ and “SCI” stands for “SCIENCE” (see above).
The most interesting code was the fourth. “TRA” appeared on most of the sheets. This code was clearly defined because on many pages it was spelled out: “TRANSPORTATION.” It isn’t known whether or not the record keeper was trying to be funny but the category stood and was used nevertheless.
With no evidence that a clipping agency collected press for the FBI Academy up to the early 1990s, were there instructions to FBI field offices in the nation’s cities to assemble UFO clippings, send them to an FBI administrative office where they would be processed and microfilmed?
The finished product would then be sent to the FBI Academy (and elsewhere?).So we wonder: Why was money budgeted, and instructions given, for a government agency to preserve UFO information long after the end of the official investigation?

RAMEY MEMO REDUX – LINE 5;
quote;
"After a lull in interest, there has been a recent renewal of discussions about the “Ramey Memo”(ROSWELL), on Internet lists.The usual banter was swapped as to whether or not the document (as I will call it from here on as there is no evidence that it is a memo) is a top-secret message regarding Roswell aliens or merely a teletype taken from a newspaper office in Fort Worth, Texas. For those unfamiliar with the Ramey document, it is a folded piece of paper held in the hand of Brigadier General Roger Ramey, head of the 8th Army Air Force based at Fort Worth, Texas.
On July 8, 1947, photographs were taken of Ramey, his chief of staff, Thomas DuBose and Roswell AAF officer Jesse Marcel Sr. by J. Bond Johnson, a Fort Worth Star-Telegram photographer, in response to an AAF press release that the debris recovered from the alleged Roswell UFO crash was a weather balloon.The debris itself was displayed in an office for Johnson to photograph, which he did and his pictures were widely distributed the next day in national newspapers.
One can see in photo prints that the document being held has lines of text at the edge of visibility. Attempts have been made over the years to enlarge that portion e that portion of the photograph. The text however remains at the extreme limit of resolution.
A few words do seem to be visible, asserting the document’s relevance to the Roswell incident, but little else is clear. Readers of UHR will recall that I dealt with this debate in the March 2004 issue, titled, “An Observation on the Ramey Memo.”
(http://www.greenwoodufoarchive.com/uhr/uhr11.pdf)
In it I offered the possibility that the document showed signs of being a teletype dispatch, typical of a news wire taken from a newspaper office rather than being a military/government document with details of the recovery of an exotic machine possibly from another planet. Not surprisingly some Roswell proponents of theproponents of the extraterrestrial notion reacted with anger.
Nevertheless, it didn’t seem that there was any hard consensus beyond a few words as to what the document said. On August 26, 2009, it was a hot summer afternoon. Not much could be done in the heat so I sat for a while to stare at a blow-up of the Ramey photo to once again take a try at picking out words to recognize (see Figure 1).This had become a regular part-time activity for some UFO researchers since the photo was enlarged years ago.
The possibility of revealing sensation evidence of UFO reality and government cover-ups through this document was irresistible for those who have been involved in such research for decades.All one had to do was decipher the distortions and blobs that characterized the text; For my part, in between stares I pulled old clipping volumes of Roswell coverage to remind myself of the reporting on the story for July 8-9, 1947.I tried running the picture through a variety of Photoshop computer enhancements by brightening or darkening the image.
It was to no avail.“How would anyone ever get this mangled, messy text deciphered,” I thought; It seemed unlikely that muck could be enhanced! Wasn’t there anything better to do on a nice summer day?
Getting a little weary I noticed a cardboard pair of 3-D red/blue glasses from some leftover movie I had once seen hanging from a holder above my computer screen. Looking at it I said, “Oh, why not.” The idea of using them seemed rather pointless, as I was not even looking at a 3-D picture. But nothing was being accomplished otherwise.I put it on. Oddly enough using the 3-D filters somehow injecting a small amount of clarity into the image, much like a pair of yellow sunglasses, (as has been advertised on TV) seems to make the landscape much clearer.
It was certainly not enough to make the blobs more readable but it was enough to make patterns stand out more. I focused upon the portion of the Ramey document that seemed to be a little clearer than the rest. It is an oval area on the left side of the text, a short distance from the right side of Ramey’s thumb that obscures part of the document’s text (see Figure 2). A few words like “…AT FORT WORTH, TEX.” and “…THE ‘DISC’..” seem to stand out enough to gain a general consensus as to these decipherments;
On the next line down where “THE ‘DISC’” seems apparent, what I will call “line 5” out of the total of eight lines visible on the image, the previously mentioned oval area of visibility had text a bit easier to read, that I attribute to that part of the document perhaps being a little closer to the camera lens by means of its appearance of being held in a rumpled manner by Ramey and folded in an arch toward the lens.
I kept looking with the 3-D filter and noticed a pattern, a pattern that seemed familiar. But before I continue, a bit of explanation is needed about the length of words To check their letter lengths, I used “letter stacking.” The lines of text formed on a machine, like a teletype or an old typewriter, have regular spaces between letters, words and lines.With letters poorly focused and defined, making them virtually unreadable, the number of characters in each word could be measured by running a straight vertical line from the centers of letters above and below the line in question to the centers of letters of the words in that line (see Figure 4).
It is like placing a grid over the page and counting the letters and spaces that give your word length. It can even work when the page of a piece of paper is curved in the manner that can be seen in this document With this in mind, and a 3-D filter at the eyes, a pattern was noticed. The second word in line 5 (see Figures 5 & 6), a six-letter word, gave the strong impression of ending in “GHT.”
Thinking this was an artifact of the 3-D filter I took it off and looked again. The impression was still there. A six-letter word ending in “GHT” didn’t make much sense. “SOUGHT,” perhaps? But the article was supposed to be about something that was already found. But then I recalled one of the clipping volumes.
Having just previously read clips in between pondering the photo, I went back and flipped through it again. There was a press clip from the San Mateo CA Times of July 8th Late edition papers for the 8th had carried the breaking Roswell debris news. Reading down the clip I saw this: “Lt. Warren Haught, public information officer at Roswell said….” And the quote continued to his press release. “HAUGHT” stood out like a sore thumb.
It was a six-letter word with a “GHT” ending in an article related to Roswell. As long-time Roswell pundits notice here, “Lt. Warren Haught” should actually be “Lt. Walter Haut,” the “PRO,” or Public Relations Officer, at Roswell Army Air Field.The press had butchered Haut’s name, probably in the rush to published news about Roswell.
In the first rush of publicity after Haut sent out a press release on the recovery of a flying disc, the base and Roswell media were bombarded with phone calls from world media about the story. Most certainly, one or more wire reporters heard Haut’s name and spelled it phonetically, not even getting the “Walter,right;
