   Early  1960's...Frank  Scully  dies.  (Author  of  "Behind  the  Flying
   Saucers".)

   Aug.   13,  1960..Red Bluff,  CA:  CHP 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)

   May,  1961......In the May issue of "Fate" magazine,  Master Sgt.  O.D.
   Hill  admits that we are still loosing Air Force planes to  UFOs.   The
   first case was an F-86  jet fighter that was sent aloft to  investigate
   an  UFO  that had been plotted on the Radar scope of an Air Base  (name
   and  dates  classified).   The  Radar Operator spied  the  UFO  heading
   straight for the craft.  The operator radioed for the F-86  to climb at
   once, but it was too late.  The two blips merged as one and the UFO was
   tracked moving away.  Classified as "mysterious"  not a single shred of
   the F-86  was ever found. (ref. Kinross AFB where an F-89  with crew of
   two merged with an UFO and disappeared.-Donald Keyhoe)

   Second Case:  A  radar operator was tracking a transport plane carrying
   26  persons aboard when, suddenly,  another blip appeared on the screen
   closing  at 2500  mph on the transport.  Before the operator could warn
   the  transport  the two blips emerged as one.  The remaining blip  sped
   straight  up  at tremendous speed.  A  surface search in  the  vicinity
   revealed no oil slicks on the water, although a Generals' briefcase was
   found floating around. (see 4/1/59;9/29/59)

   1961-1963......Near Nellis AFB, NE: "Mat", a radio maintenance engineer
   at  Nevada's  AEC between 1961-1963,  provided evidence  to  the  MUFON
   Journal  that  Project REDLIGHT was secretly being conducted at  nearby
   "Area 51",  a  50-mile-square quadrant of land east of Nellis AFB. This
   Project "involved flight-testing of an UFO which had been shipped there
   from Edwards AFB."  The craft flew silently, was about 20 to 30 ft.  in
   diam., and had no wings or tail.

   Apr.   ,1962.....Flight  Commander P.J.  (initials),  attached  to  TAC
   Fighter Wing was deployed at Wright-Patterson AFB and mistakenly  broke
   into an air hanger where he  thought the gym was located. Upon entering
   the hanger he was approached by an air police sentry with a sub-machine
   gun.  Behind the sentry was a saucer approx. 12-15 ft. diam.  suspended
   off the  ground  by  two  engine test stands. There were no markings or
   insignia on the saucer. It had no rivet markings. The saucer was roped-
   off and 8 guards stood at parade rest around it.  P.J.  and his  friend
   were encouraged to leave the hanger.  P.J. returned to MyrtleBeach AFB,
   S.C.

   July   17,   1963..A  passenger  of  a  Convair-880   related  to   UFO
   investigator,   James Moseley,  that the 4 engined jet airliner she had
   been flying in was pursued by an UFO.  The jet , traveling at 600  mph,
   made  a  sharp  turn to avoid the UFO,  now rapidly closing in  on  the
   plane.   Just as they were about to collide,  the UFO swerved  away  at
   fantastic speed and  disappeared  in  the night sky. When the (unnamed)
   woman  confronted the pilot about the incident,  he said,  "I  wouldn't
   dare  risk telling the airline of the incident.  If I could tell you of
   some of the experiences my buddies have had, you'd never fly again!"

   Apr.   15,   1964..USAF  Intelligence officer meets with  2  Aliens  at
   prearranged  location  in  the desert of  New  Mexico.   Project  SIGMA
   operates at AFB, New Mexico. (see 1959)

   Oct.,  1964.....Air Force and Army radar stations tracked an UFO as  it
   hovered  over  and flew along the demilitarized zone between North  and
   South Korea. The UFO was visible for over an hour.

   Dec.  10, 1964..Fort Riley, KA: Recovery of Saucer by A.K.  (initials).
   (see 11/00/65)

   Dec. 19, 1964..MEMO to Chief, Contact Division: NICAP case #(censured):
   Subject:   UFOs over Patuxent Navel Air Station between 1500  and  1530
   hours. Two UFOs approached Air Base at 3800 mph. Another UFO approached
   at 6000  mph.  Radar operator, Chief Pinkerton had visual on Radar.  US
   Coast Guard had "visual"  on the UFOs. OFFICIAL statement to press: the
   (single) blip was caused by faulty radar equipment! (see 1/25/65)

   Jan. 25, 1965..MEMO to Chief, Contact Division: NICAP Case #(censured).
   (see 12/19/64)

   1965...........While  visiting the Air Force Museum in Fairborn,  Ohio,
   R.M.   (initials),  a  government employee of 23  yrs.,  went through a
   double- door marked "Off Limits" and suddenly came face to face with an
   Alien in a self contained space suite.  Description: About 4.5 ft. tall
   with a translucent dome over its' large head;  wasn't human; large eyes
   under  a heavy brow;  no noticeable nose;  a  slit for a mouth;  bluish
   skin.  When the creature walked it didn't bend its' knees.  R.M.  later
   found  out  from a retired Air Force Colonel from Wight-Patterson  AFB,
   that 2 live Aliens were held in captivity in an artificial environment.
   The  Colonel also said that a 2-man sized craft crashed near Whitewater
   Lake,   Indiana,   as  a result of an  electrical  disturbance  in  the
   atmosphere.   [The Alien would have to lock his knees in a high-gravity
   environment to avoid falling down.]

   Feb.  11,  1965..Personal Interview report by Capt.  D.M.   (initials):
   Aerial  encounter of three UFOs with radar and visual  sightings.   Air
   Force flight F-169  enroute from Anchorage,  AL, to Japan.  Capt.  R.W.
   (initials)  and Capt. W. (initial) observed 3 UFOs on radar 5 miles off
   the  wing.   The UFOs paced the Flying Tiger freighter aircraft for  30
   minutes then climbed away at a steep angle at about 1200  knots  ground
   speed. Estimated size (thumb and finger method) approx. 200 to 1000 ft.
   diam.,  glowing red and oval shaped. The pilot remarked,  "we often see
   UFOs on the Alaskan run!"

   May  28,   1965...Police  statement  (interview);   Bougainville  Reef,
   Australia:  An Ansett-A.N.A.  DC-6B airliner (VH-INH)  en route to Port
   Moresby,  New Guinea, was buzzed by a UFO at about 3:25 a.m.  The pilot
   radioed  the  Townsville  Ground Control Tower and talked  to  Mr.   O.
   (initial). Description: slightly spherical and oblate, flattened on top
   and bottom;  appeared to have exhaust gasses coming from it.  Photos of
   the UFO were taken by the pilot  but were later confiscated at Canberra
   as was the taped conversation to Mr. O., the Tower operator. Mr. O. was
   threatened with dismissal if he talked about the incident.

   July 3,  1965...Newspaper reports, ANTARCTICA:  Argentine,  British and
   Chilean  military and scientific personnel observed an UFO moving at  a
   frightening speed doing incredible maneuvers.  It was something  solid,
   glowing  blue-green  and causing E/M interference with  our  equipment.
   Lenticular  shaped "flying saucer".  Tracked by theodolite,  binoculars
   and magnetograph tapes.  Also,  10  color photographs were taken of the
   UFO.

   Sept.  3, 1965..Project Blue Book File #(?): Damon/Angleton, TX. Deputy
   Sheriffs Billy E.  McCoy and Robert W.  Goode were investigating an UFO
   in  the back-woods roads when the purplish UFO shot  instantly  towards
   them to within 150  feet and hovered at 100  feet off the ground.   The
   bright  glow  illuminated the interior of the car and  the  surrounding
   fields (11:30  p.m.).  "Every blade of grass stood out clearly"  in the
   field. Officer Goode, who was driving with his arm out the window, felt
   heat  on  his  arm and later reported that a cut that was  on  his  arm
   healed more rapidly than normal [U/V effects].

   Sept.16,1965...NICAP Report #(?): Pretoria, S. Africa:  Constables John
   Lockem and Koos de Klerk while on patrol (after midnight)  suddenly had
   a  domed,  disc shaped object come into their van headlights.   It  was
   sitting on the road.  The UFO was copper colored and about 30  ft.   in
   diam.   Immediately the UFO lifted off,  emitting tongues of flame from
   two  tubes  or channels on the underside.  The flames  deflected  about
   three  feet off the macadam road surface and were still  visible  after
   loosing sight of the craft. Road damage: part of the road was caved-in,
   and in a 6 foot area the gravel was separated from the tar.  Samples of
   the  road  surface  were taken for analysis,  which  report  was  never
   released.  Lt. Col. J.B.  Brits,  District Commandant of Pretoria North
   said the incident was "highly SECRET ... and inquiry is being conducted
   in TOP circles."

   Nov., 1965.....Fort Riley, KA: "AK" (Aaron Kaback) was on guard duty at
   2  a.m.  when the duty officer drove up and ordered him to hop into the
   jeep.  He and 3 other officers were driven out to a remote area where a
   large  oval objectwas resting.  An army chopper was hovering above  the
   object and shining a bright light on it.  The object was approx.  35-48
   ft.  in diam., had a fin on the end and an exhaust port or some kind of
   hole below the fin.  It had rows of squares around the rim and remained
   completely dead for the 2 1/2  hours they guarded it.  (Kaback seems to
   be confused as to the actual date this incident occurred. see 12/10/64)

   Mar.  20,  1966..Dexter, MI.: Frank Mannor, age 47,  and Ronald Mannor,
   age  19,   went  out  at night through  swampy,   hummocky  terrain  to
   investigate flashing lights in the swamp. They saw a domed,  elliptical
   object with a quilted surface hovering about 8 ft.  off the ground in a
   patch  of apparent mist.  The object glowed "blood red"  and  the  body
   lights disappeared. They lost sight of the UFO and didn't see it again.
   (see 3/21/66;4/1/66)

   Mar.  20, 1966..La Porte, IN: Patrolman Michael Spevak was on duty when
   2   youths  pulled over and pointed out an UFO that they said had  been
   following  them from Michigan City to La Porte.  According to the young
   men,   the  object  frequently burst into such a bright glare  that  it
   blinded them, forcing them off the highway.  It had been following them
   at  an altitude of about 60  ft.  Both the young men and the  patrolman
   noticed  a cross-shaped appendage protruding from the lower portion  of
   the UFO.

   Mar.   21,  1966..Law enforcement officer F.B.  (initials)  at  Dexter,
   Michigan,  and officer "C" (initial)  on patrol sighted a landed saucer
   in a swamp.  Description:  Large craft, like a pot;  no windows;  had a
   dull  glow  and  steam was coming up from the water.   Sounded  like  a
   turbine,   a   low  whine  or hum.  He  notified  Selfridge  AFB  which
   immediately  sent out MP's,  well armed.  All law officers were ordered
   back and their film was confiscated. Later his report and other reports
   disappeared  from  police headquarters.  Then,  everyone in the  force,
   including  he and "C",  were transferred to other parts of the  county.
   The  UFO wasn't disabled.  F.B.  saw it take-off and climb straight up.
   (see 3/1/67)

   Apr.   1,   1966...From  LIFE  magazine:  In  a  hastily  called  press
   conference,   the  USAF spokesman J.  Allen Hynek  suggested  that  the
   Dextor,  MI,  UFO and others seen in the swamps near Hillsdale may have
   been  marsh  (or  swamp)   gas that had  spontaneously  ignited.   (see
   3/20/66;3/21/66)

   Apr. 5, 1966...Congressman,  Gerald Ford announces to Congress the need
   to extensively examine UFOs.

   Apr.  17,1966...Ravenna,  OH,  to Conway,  Penn.:  Deputy Sheriffs Dale
   Spaur  and  Wilbur Neff of Portage County were on patrol  when  an  UFO
   stopped above them, illuminating them and the surroundings (it was just
   about dawn). As the UFO moved away from them at about 300-500 ft. above
   the road, it would alternately start and stop ahead of them playing cat
   and mouse.  At E.  Palestine,  OH,  officer Wayne  Huston joined in the
   pursuit.  At speeds of 100 mph in unfamiliar territory,  they were soon
   low  on  gas and had to give up the game with the UFO.   Through  local
   police  dispatch  the  officers alerted the Air Force,   who  sent  out
   fighter  planes  to investigate the UFO.  As the officers  saw  the  AF
   planes  approaching  the UFO shot straight up and out of  sight.   (see
   6/24/66)

   Summer,   1966...Results of an Iowa Poll,  Iowa:  45%   Iowans  queried
   believe UFOs to be REAL objects.  Of the 45%,  21%  were of the opinion
   that the UFOs were of extraterrestrial origin.

   June,  1966.....Nha Trang,  Vietnam:  At this active Army Base at about
   9:45  p.m.,  what was thought to be a flare lit up the north sky.   The
   bright  UFO  approached  the  base alternately moving at  low  to  high
   speeds.   Upon descending toward the soldiers it hovered at an altitude
   of 300-500  ft.  All of a sudden the 6 generators failed along with the
   engines  of  the idling Skyraiders,  (TESLA energy  discharge  effects)
   bulldozers and trucks. The entire valley and surrounding mountains were
   illuminated  by the hovering UFO for about 4 min.  after which it  went
   straight up and disappeared in about 3 sec.  After the incident a plane
   load of officials from Washington arrived to investigate. (see 3/4/69)

   June 24, 1966..Richmond, VA: Officer William L. Stevens, Jr.,  observed
   a dirigible-shaped UFO at 3:30  in the morning near the fairgrounds. It
   was about100  ft. long and 30 ft.  thick with greenish-yellow lights on
   its perimeter.  Stevens attempted to chase the UFO but it maintained an
   even  distance from him even though he sped up and slowed  down.   "The
   object seemed to be playing CAT & MOUSE with me,"  he later said. After
   10-15 min. the UFO accelerated and sped away. (see 4/17/66)

   Mar.  1, 1967...Lt. Gen. Hewitt T. Wheless, USAF,  sends notice to  all
   branches of the military warning of persons imitating military officers
   and  harassing  private citizens and  confiscating  UFO  photos.   (see
   3/21/66)

   Jul.   3,  1967...  R.T.  (initials),  with ALPHA RED TOP SECRET CRYPTO
   Clearance,  rank PFC,  assigned to Canine Corps at Camp Pendleton,  San
   Diego,  CA., states that he and his dogs were air transported 2.5  hrs.
   to a sight in  a  desert  (unknown  location)  UFO crash-sight. Saucer:
   Metallic,  30  ft. diameter, domed top,  no windows.  He also observed:
   Large walk-in refrigerator, empty body bags, men at work with technical
   instruments.

   JAN.  19, 1968..DIA Intelligence Report from Liaison in Moscow,  Russia
   mentioning an attempt by the British Government in 1967  to collaborate
   with the Soviets in UFO research. (see 2/22/68)

   Feb. 22, 1968..UNCLASSIFIED AIRGRAM, U.S. Dept.  of the State regarding
   UFOs in the Soviet Union:  Feb. 1968, Soviet Life published three pages
   pertinent to UFOs,  by Felix Zigel.  He also published a UFO article in
   1966. Until recently no study of UFOs had been made in the Soviet Union
   (see 1/19/68)

   1968...........Project xxxxxxxx (name CENSURED) established to evaluate
   all    UFO   information   pertinent   to   space   technology.    (see
   1953,12/69,1976)

   Mar.   4,  1969...Near Atlanta,  Missouri:  The City Marshall and  Mail
   Carrier in Elmer,  Missouri,  William R.  Overstreet observed an UFO at
   early dawn over the road ahead of him.  It was about 100  ft.  in diam.
   apparently rotating clockwise and emitting a strong white beam of light
   down  to  the road which seemed to magnify the size of the road it  was
   shining on.  He felt intense heat from the direction of the UFO and his
   CB  radio was dead.  As he neared the light beam from the UFO his truck
   motor and radio quit.  As the beammoved away from his truck he was able
   to start the engine again.(TESLA energy discharge effects)  He followed
   the UFO for about 4 mi.  staying away from the beam.  The UFO  followed
   the  contour of the land it was flying over.  After 7-8  min.  the  UFO
   veered  away and went out of sight.  "I had never believed in them  too
   much until I saw this," he said. "Now I know that there is something to
   these UFOs!" (see 8/13/75,6/66)

   1969?..........A  retired  Colonel from Wright-Patterson AFB  with  Top
   Secret  clearance  states that a 2-man saucer crashed  near  Whitewater
   Lake,   Indiana  as  a  result of  an  electrical  disturbance  in  the
   atmosphere.

   JIMMY (Pres.)

   1972...........Project  SNOWBIRD  established to test  fly  a  captured
   flying saucer.

   Oct.  2,  1972...A letter from the Dept.  of National Defence,  Canada,
   Brig.   Gen.   L.A.  Bourgeois states:  All UFOs reported to  CFHQ  are
   investigated  by  the Director of Operations.  It isn't a  practice  to
   allow  the  public to study these files.  Since the beginning  of  1968
   these UFO reports have been passed along to the NRC.  Evidence suggests
   that  UFOs  present no threat to the Technology world.  They exhibit  a
   unique scientifically advanced technology. (see 9/19/26)

   Sept.   ,1973....At Great Lakes Naval Base,  Instructor R.K.,   Gunnery
   School Grade E-4,  while delivering a sealed envelope to the Commandant
   in the quonset hut,  was surprised to see a saucer 30 ft. diam.  and 10
   ft.  ht.  resting on a wooden platform.  Description:  Silvery blue and
   shimmering,  it tapered like a teardrop with a flange running along its
   topside  from  one end to the other and there were  no  windows.   R.K.
   believed  this saucer to be the one shot down on its third pass over  a
   Navy vessel by a missile.  The saucer crashed in 350 ft.  water between
   Hawaii and the mainland. It was retrieved by a Glomar Explorer, shipped
   to Hawaii then stateside to Chicago.

   Oct.  18,  1973..Capt. Lawrence Coyne,  while flying an Army helicopter
   with three other crewmen were 45  minutes out over Mansfield when Staff
   Sgt.   Robert  Yanacsek spotted a red glowing UFO headed  toward  their
   helicopter at an estimated 600  mph. It stopped abruptly 500 ft.  above
   them.  It had a big,  gray,  metallic looking hull about 60  ft.  long,
   shaped  like an airfoil or streamlined cigar with a red light in  front
   and  a  green  light in the rear,  the lead edge  glowed  red  a  short
   distance  from the nose.  There was a center dome.  The  'copter  radio
   wouldn't  function  and the copter was set for a 20   degree  dive  but
   gained altitude from 1700  ft. to 3500 ft. with no power applied. After
   a slight "bounce" the UFO took off to the N.E.

   Oct.  25,  1973..Director of FBI, Clarence M. Kelley, states:  UFOs are
   not  and  never  has been a matter that  is  within  the  investigative
   jurisdiction of the FBI.

   Jan.   8,  1975...CONFIDENTIAL Spanish Report,  Spanish Air Force:  UFO
   spotted by military personnel at Las Bardenas Reales near Zaragoza  Air
   Base.

   Mar.   28,  1975..Letter from Senator Barry Goldwater stating:  Ten  or
   twelve  years  ago  I tried to get access to the  building  at  Wright-
   Patterson  (HANGER-18)   where  UFO  artifacts were stored  and  I  was
   understandably denied access.  It is still classified above TOP SECRET.
   I've  heard  they plan to release some of the information in  the  near
   future and hope not to have to wait too much longer.

   Aug.  13,  1975..Near Haderslev,  Denmark:  Police Officer Evald Hansen
   Maarup was driving home at 10:50 p.m.  when all of a sudden his car was
   engulfed by a bright blue light while at the same time his car lost all
   power. The temperature in his car rose to that of a warm summer day and
   his radio was dead so he couldn't call for help.  The bright beam  from
   the  UFO was conical in shape with a bottom diam.  of 4-5  meters and a
   top  diam.   at the UFO of 10  meters.  Two dome-like protrusions  were
   visible  on  the  underside of the UFO that was hovering  at  about  20
   meters altitude.  He activated a special camera on the patrol car which
   automatically  took  3  pictures of the UFO.  As the UFO sped  away  he
   regained  power to his car.  The developed film which was later  turned
   over  to  the Danish AF showed the light source of the UFO on  it.   No
   report or analysis has been available from the AF to date. (see 3/4/69)

   Aug. 13, 1975..Alamogordo, NM: Staff Sgt. Charles L. Moody, USAF, drove
   out to the outskirts of town late one night to watch for meteors.  As a
   disc-shaped UFO descended toward him,  he tried to start his car to get
   away but it wouldn't start.  He heard a high pitched whining sound from
   the  UFO and saw shadowy figures in it and felt numbness,  after  which
   the  UFO departed.  After driving home he found he couldn't account for
   1.5  hours. The next day his back was enflame and he discovered a small
   puncture wound over his spine and a few days later he developed a  body
   rash.  As months passed he regained memory of the missing 1.5 hours. He
   remembered that he had been in the UFO and in telepathic  communication
   with small 4'8"  humanoids.  They had whitish gray skin,  large  heads,
   large eyes,  small slit-like mouths and mask-like features. He had been
   in a drug-like state  on  a table and they  had poked a rod like device
   into  his back.  After this they escorted him about the ship and  later
   dropped him off at his car. (see 3/4/69)

   Oct. 28, 1975..CONFIDENTIAL CINC/NORAD Report: UFOs, suspicious objects
   seen by ground personnel. Sounded like jet aircraft. Intermittent radar
   contact  made  with  object.  Jets scrambled to intercept  but  objects
   lights  went out interceptors passed and then came on again.  Then  the
   object  increased in speed and raised to a high altitude and could  not
   be discerned from the stars.  Description:  Through binoculars,  looked
   like 100 ft. sphere and appeared to have craters around the outside. To
   date, AF and SAC helicopters have failed to provide a positive I.D.  of
   the UFO. (see 11/11/75,7/52)

   Oct.  29,  1975..NMCC Joint Staff Memo:  Subject:  AFB penetration.  At
   290200  EST,  AFOC informed NMCC that an unidentified helicopter (UFO),
   possibly two,  had been sighted flying low over Loring AFB,  Maine,  in
   proximity to a weapons storage area. Army Nat. Guard helos called in to
   assist in locating UFO. NORAD informed of the incident by SAC. Received
   authority to proceed into Canadian airspace,  if necessary,  to  locate
   UFO. A similar incident was reported the evening before.

   Nov. 11, 1975..CONFIDENTIAL CINC/NORAD Report. (see 10/28/75)

   Jan.  21,  1976..MEMO from NMCC by Rear Adm. J. B.  Morin stating:  Two
   UFOs reported near the flight line at Cannon AFB, N.M.  Security Police
   report the UFOs to be 25  yards (75  ft.)  in diameter,  gold/silver in
   color with blue light on top,  hole in the middle and red light on  the
   bottom.

   Apr.  9, 1976...CONFIDENTIAL CIA Message: Source (name Censored)  seeks

   approx. 0345, EDT, the ANMCC received several reports of UFOs near Fort
   Ritchie.  At 0130, civilians reported an UFO to the NAB.  At 0255,  two
   separate  patrols sighted three UFOs;  oblong with a reddish tint.   At
   0300,   the Desk Sgt.  (name with held)  sighted an UFO over  the  ammo
   storage area at 100-200  yds.  altitude.  At 0345,  an Army Police Sgt.
   sighted an UFO in the vicinity of sight R.  ANMCC was requested to have
   each individual write a statement on the sightings. One person said the
   UFO was the size of a 2.5 ton truck.

   Sep. 19, 1976..Tehran, Iran: Civilians reported an UFO to the AFB.  The
   Iranian  AF scrambled an American F-4  for intercept.  As the F-4   was
   vectored   towards   the  brilliant  UFO,    all   communications   and
   instrumentation were suddenly lost. As the pilot broke off pursuit, all
   aircraft functions returned to normal. A second F-4  that was scrambled
   began  closing in on the UFO at greater than Mach 1 and was closing  on
   the UFO at 150  nautical mph., but the UFO accelerated and stayed ahead
   of the F-4  (confirmed by  Radar).   Multi-colored flashing lights were
   visible  on the UFO.  The moment the F-4  pilot tried to lock an  AIM-9
   missile at the UFO he lost all weapons panel and communication control.
   The UFO launched two smaller UFOs,  one of which began to follow the F-
   4. After evasive action by the F-4, the smaller UFO returned and united
   with the larger UFO. The other smaller UFO seemed to have landed on the
   ground  so  the  pilot  flew down to investigate it.   The  landed  UFO
   appeared to be 12  feet in diameter?  As the pilot descended the  light
   from  the landed UFO went out and he lost sight of it.  The DIA  termed
   this sighting as "an outstanding report.  This case is a classic  which
   meets all the criteria necessary for a study of a UFO phenomenon." And,
   "an  inordinate  amount of manuverablilty was displayed by  the  UFOs."
   (see 10/2/72,9/20/76)

   Sep.  20, 1976..DIA MESSAGE: UFO sighted over Tehran, Iran.  "Initiate"
   IPSP PT-1440.  The Iranian Air Force scrambled an F-4  to intercept the
   UFO. Due to its brilliance the UFO was visible 70 miles away.  When the
   F-4  approached within 25  mi. of UFO the F-4  lost ALL instrumentation
   and  communications (UHF and intercom).  As the first F-4  banked  away
   from the UFO he regained instr. and comm. A second F-4  was dispatched,
   2  man,  with  radar.The radar return was of a craft the  size of a 707
   Tanker.  As the F-4  closed within 25 NMi.  of UFO,  the UFO launched a
   bright white object about one third the apparent size of the moon.  The
   pilot attempted to fire an AIM-9  missile at the second UFO but at that
   moment he lost all instruments and communication.As he banked away from
   the primary object  the secondary object went to the inside of his turn
   then returned and rejoined with the primary object.  Afterwards the F-4
   regained control of instr. and communications. (see 9/19/76)

   to Gen.  Duward L. Crow (Ret.), NASA, Wash., D.C. stating: Enclosed are
   the  UFO Fact Sheet and standard response to UFO public  inquiries  you
   requested.   I   sincerely  hope  you are successful  in  preventing  a
   reopening of UFO investigations.

   Jan.  18,  1978..  MP at Ft.  Dix shoots and kills an Alien.   Incident

   Security Police Squad (PACAF)  also witnessed and reported the incident
   (Sept. 16, 1980).

   Feb.   1,   1978...NASA Information Sheet:  NASA is not involved  in  a
   research  program involving UFOs,  nor is any other government  agency.
   The U.S.  Air Force nolonger investigates UFOs.  (see NASA arrest  laws

   Oct. 21, 1978..Aircraft Accident Investigation Summary Report: Fredrick
   Valentich vanished while reporting a UFO playing cat and mouse with his
   airplane which was a Cessna 182L. It's hovering above me...  it's got a
   green  light  and  sort of metallic (like)  it's all  shiny  (on)   the
   outside...  it's hovering and it's Airplane not an aircraft...  (end of
   transmission...pilot presumed dead).

   Nov. 9, 1978... L. Gordon Cooper, in a letter to the U.N.,  states that
   UFOs are interplanetary vehicles and crewed by Aliens.

   May 10,  1980...DOD Report: The FAP (Peruvian Air Force)  spotted a UFO
   twice and tried to intercept and destroy the UFO without success.  (see
   7/52)

   Aug.  9, 1980...through Sep. 3, 1980:  AFOSI Complaint Form:at Kirtland
   AFB three persons report seeing UFO over a Restricted Test Range.

   On Aug. 9th a Sandia Security Guard drove down the Coyote Canyon access
   road to check out an alarmed building and observed a landed UFO next to
   an  alarmed  building.  The UFO was a round disk shaped object.  As  he
   approached  the object on foot equipped with a shotgun the object  took
   off  in a vertical direction at a high rate of speed.  His radio wasn't
   working  right at the time so he couldn't reach dispatch.  The building
   contained HQ CR 44 material. [Nature of material not known.]

   Sept.16,   1980..  Sgt.  J.M.  (initials)  of the PACAF writes  to  Len
   Stringfield that he was stationed at McGuire AFB,  N.J., when,  on Jan.

   to the AFB. (see 1/18/78)

   Nov.   17,   1980..SECRET USAF OSI Document:  Analysis of photo of  UFO
   following  C-5A aircraft inclusive.  Photo analysis of Cylinder  Shaped
   UFO legitimate.  PhotoE.  showed legitimate disc shaped UFO of 37   ft.
   diameter with trilateral insignia on object. USAF still has an interest
   in all UFO sightings over installations and test ranges.  Several other
   Government  agencies,   lead by NASA,  actively investigate  legitimate
   sightings  through COVERT COVER.  One agency that deceives  the  public
   whict such covert cover is the UFO reporting center at U.S.  Coast  and
   Geodetic Survey, Rockville, MD. 20852. [The results of PROJECT AQUARIUS
   is  still  classified TOP SECRET with access limited to  "MJ-12".]  The
   Paul  Bennewitz  case still being monitored by NASA.   Still  receiving
   assistance from Fugate(?) Miller. (see 2/1/78)

   Dec.  27,  1980..USAF UFO REPORT signed by Lt.  Col.  Charles I.  Halt,
   Deputy Base Commander, RAF Woodbridge stating: Two USAF security police
   patrolmen  saw a UFO either hovering or on legs outside the back  gate,
   Woodbridge. Being early morning,  it illuminated the entire forest with
   a  white light.  Description:  Metallic in appearance and triangular in
   shape,   pulsing red light on top and banks of blue lights  underneath.
   Approx.  2-3 meters across and 2 meters high. It maneuvered through the
   trees and disappeared. (see 12/29/80)

   Dec.  29,  1980..Lt. Col. C. I. Halt,  sees a UFO that separates into 5
   UFOs and later sees 3 other UFOs. (see 12/27/80)

   Dec.   29,   1980..A low flying UFO was escorted by a large  number  of
   helicopters  (23)   including some Chinooks and possibly  Hueys,   near
   Dayton,  Texas.  It was probably escorted to the TOP SECRET underground
   installation within Fort Hood, Texas.  The SECRET air force base is NOT
   listed in the Air Force Officer's Guide or the Air Force Almanac [it is
   an Army AFB]. The name of the Secret base is Gray AAF, Texas.

   (12/29/80,  cont'd)  The special group piloting the helicopters  Escort
   for  UFO are known as the "BLUEBOYS".  The Texas Department  of  Public
   Safety works closely with Gray AAF on UFO cases. (see 6/6/88)

   Jan. 13, 1981..(BENTWATERS AFB) Air Force MEMO from Lt. Col. Charles I.
   Halt, Deputy Base Commander. (see 12/27/80,12/29/80)

   Oct.  19, 1981..Barry Goldwater, Senator,  Arizona,  in a letter to Lee
   Graham,  f Aeroject Electric Systems, Azusa, Calif., states that he has
   given up trying to get into the BLUE ROOM at Wright-Patterson AFB where
   UFO artifacts are stored by the Air Force. (see 3/28/75)

   Nov.   3,   1981...Civil Action,  Case No.  80-1562,  goes against  the
   plaintiff and for the defendant, the NSA.  The NSA retains the right to
   withhold 156  TOP SECRET records containing communications intelligence
   (COMINT)   reports  which were produced between 1958  and  1979.   Only
   military personnel with a Top Secret Clearance were allowed to view the
   documents for the court hearing.  NOT even the Judge was allowed to see
   them, even though he ruled against the plaintiff (CAUS). (see 6/24/83)

   Nov.  27, 1982..Palatine, IL.: Police Commander Michael McDonald was on
   patrol at 5:00 a.m. when the area around his car was lighted,  as if by
   a phosphorousflare.  Looking up he saw a large white UFO with tinges of
   red  at  an altitude of 900-1000  ft.  Two other officers,  alerted  by
   radio,  also observed the UFO.  The other two cars gave pursuit to  the
   UFO at speeds of between 60-65 mph but the UFO outdistanced them. A few
   minutes later another UFO was noted by the commander and then the other
   two officers.  It was a diffuse "domed disc"  which was seen to emit  a
   beam of light towards the ground.  The UFO then disappeared behind  the
   tree  line  of a forest preserve.  The police report  includes  a  tape
   recording of the radio communications during the sighting.

   Jun. 24, 1983..Larry W. Bryant, Director of CAUS, filed a Civil Action,
   Case No.  83-1932 (Judge Oliver Gasch) petitioning for a Writ of Habeas
   Corpus  EXTRATERRESTRIAL,  in the United States District Court for  the
   Dist.  of Columbia,  seeking to obtain the release from custody of "one
   or  more  occupants of apparent extraterrestrial origin."  Mr.   Bryant
   contends  that  the  Government action in maintaining  secret  custody,
   detention,  and prosecution of such extraterrestrials is unlawful and a
   violation  of their basic rights and is seeking to restore their  civil
   rights. (see 11/3/81)

   Nov.  29,1983...Dr.  Robert I Sarbacher,  President and Chairman of the
   Board,   Washington  Institute of Technology,  in a letter  to  William
   Steinman states persons definitely involved in operations of  recovered
   saucers were John von Neuman and Dr. Vannever Bush. Also, Dr. Sarbacher
   thought that Robert Oppenheimer was also involved.  Dr.  Sarbacher  had
   been  invited  by  President Eisenhower to attend  several  discussions
   associated with the reported recoveries, but was unable to attend them.
   He  did receive Special Reports on the recoveries at the  Pentagon  but
   was instructed NOT to remove them from his office.

   1984...........From  the  Air Traffic Controllers Manual:   Controllers
   MUST  report UFOs immediately to AIS (Military),  LATCC.  A   completed
   report  MUST  be  sent  to MOD (AFOR).  A  list of  phone  numbers  and
   locations is shown in the directory at Appendix H.

   May 16,  1984...Dept. of the Army letter to W. S. Steinman stating that
   the  IPU  was  disestablished in the late 1950s and  all  records  were
   transferred  to the Air Force.  Therefore the Army isn't aware of  what
   their function was even though it was a Secret unit of the Army.  [FOIA
   requests to USAF] (see 3/12/87)

   Mar. 19, 1985..(LONDON, ENGLAND)  In a letter from Ministry of Defence,
   Lord Trefgarne states,  "There is no organization in the MOD  appointed
   solely for the purpose of studying UFOs,  and no staff are employed  on
   the  subject full time...  the staff in the Department...  examine  the
   reports as part of heir normal duties... and we cannot inform observers
   of the probable identity of the objects seen."

   June 28, 1985..USAF ACCESS RESTRICTED NOTICE: Report TR-DE-3A, Oct. 15,
   1955, from Air Tech. Intel. Ctr., file no. TS5-2862, has been WITHDRAWN
   from the National Archives and is classified a TOP SECRET UFO REPORT.

   Aug. 27, 1985..Darlian, CHINA, the "China Daily" reports: 20,000 people
   are  involved in UFO research.  The first recognized photo of a UFO  in
   China  was taken in 1945.  In 1981  CSUR UFO research organization  was
   established.   More than 600  UFOs have been reported within the past 5
   years  in  China.  Studies will be done on UFOs and Human body  science
   relationships.

   May 11,  1986...Near Sadona,  AR: Minister Robert H.  Henderson and his
   wife, Nann, of Phoenix, AR, were flying at an altitude of 8500 ft. at 4
   p.m. when a very bright UFO was seen approaching head-on to them. As he
   prepared to take evasive action the UFO passed quickly to the left  and
   below  of his plane.  The UFO was seen to be wingless and resembling  a
   "modified half-sphere,  with the flat side down."  The closure rate was
   estimated at about 1200 mph.

   May 19,  1986...Near Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: Between 9:00
   to 12  midnight the Brazilian Air Defense and the Civil Air System were
   swamped with Radar and pilot UFO sightings. As Ospires Silva, President
   of  Petrobras  Oil Company were preparing to land,  the  control  tower
   informed him of UFO targets on their radar. He and his companion, Alcir
   Pereira da Silva,  saw bright red-orange UFOs, not at all like stars or
   planes.  They attempted to pursue the UFOs for 30  min.  but gave up as
   the UFOs seemed to be jumping from place to place.  At this time  three
   F-5E  fighter  jets were scrambled from Santa Cruz AFB.  Capt.   Marcio
   Jordao was able to approach within 12  miles of an UFO,  visible to him
   as  a  bright light changing from white to green.  Lt.   Kleber  Caldas
   Marinho  chased  another UFO which was a very intense light,   changing
   from white to green then red again. Both pilots broke off chase as they
   were running low on fuel.  Ground Radar picked up 10-13  more UFOs that
   surrounded  another plane with Capt.  Armindo Souza Viriato de Marinho,
   K.C. Freitas piloting it. Capt.  Freitas tracked the UFOs on his radar,
   but  only  de Freitas,  A.S.V.  saw them visually once as they  climbed
   vertically past him. Brig. Gen.  Octavio Moreira Lima made these events
   public at a press conference and allowed the pilots and radar operators
   to be questioned by the media. (see 7/52)

   Feb.   15,   1987..The San Jose Mercury states that the Pentagon has  a
   "Black  Budget"  which has become a "Black Hole"  for  SECRET  Projects
   spending!   It is far bigger than the federal budget for  education  or
   transportation  or agriculture or the environment.  These Projects  are
   classified  above Top Secret,  therefore very few federal investigators
   have the security clearances necessary to audit black programs.

   Mar.  12, 1987..U.S.  Army Intelligenc letter:  The IPU (Interplanetary
   Phenomenon  Unit)   of  the Scientific and Technical  Branch,   Counter
   intelligence  Directorate,   Department of the Army was  disestablished
   during the 1950's and never reactivated. All of its records were turned
   over  to the USAF (which can't seem to locate them).  This  letter  was
   sent to Timothy Good. (see 5/16/84)

   Sep.   4,  1987...JMP (Justice for Military Personnel)  letter sent  to
   President Ronald Reagan. This letter, verified by: Astronaut L.  Gordon
   Cooper,  Maj.  Donald E. Keyhoe (USMC, Ret.), MUFON (Sequin, TX),  APRO
   (Tucson,  AZ) and Just Cause (Coventry,  CT)  states that:"WE (military
   personnel)   have  been ordered by the CIA to shoot at  UFOs,   silence
   pilots  who  have seen UFOs,  intimidate,  harass,  jail,   confine  to
   institutions,and   destroy  military  carreers  of  witnesses  to   UFO
   sightings.   We  VIOLATED  the Freedom of  Information  Act  by  hiding
   Government documents." (see 7/52,9/24/47)

   Nov.  17, 1986..Near Fort Yukon, Alaska: Japan Airlines flight #1628, a
   Boeing 747  freighter, was cruising at 35000  ft.  altitude and at 5:11
   p.m.  the pilots noticed bright lights 30 degrees to the left and below
   them.  The UFOs moved up directly in front of the 747  and,  said Capt.
   Kenju Terauchi,  "most unexpectedly, two spaceships stopped in front of
   our face, shooting off lights (like numerous exhaust pipes). The inside
   cockpit shined brightly and I felt warm in the face." The UFOs appeared
   as two rectangular clusters or arrays of light, one above the other. As
   the  larger UFOs moved away from the 747  Airlines Flight  1628   there
   remained two smaller flat white UFOs. At about 5:30 p.m. Capt. Terauchi
   checked  the  pale white light behind their craft visually.  He  saw  a
   gigantic  "walnet-shaped"  UFO (Saturn-shaped)  following them.  As  an
   evasive  action the Capt.  ordered the 747  to turn away from the giant
   UFO  that  was  following  them,  at which  time  the  UFO  "spaceship"
   disappeared.

   Dec. 21, 1987..CIA letter to Mr. Richard Hall stating the CIA's reasons
   for  denying  certain  FOIA  requests about himself  on  the  basis  of
   national defence reasons and must be kept secret.  Mr.  Hall is an  UFO
   investigator.

   May 5,  1988....For the third time,  publicly,  President Ronald Reagan
   states that the nations of the earth would unite if we were  threatened
   by an Alien race from a hostile planet.

   Jun.6,   1988....Letter  received  from Paul F.   Bennewitz  describing
   Project  Beta:   Alien  base located in New Mexico consisting  of  type
   "Grey"   Aliens.   NASA CIR film has aided in locating  this  base  and
   revealing  US Military involvement with the "Greys".  Aliens helped  US
   Military to build a working saucer, Atomic Powered. Two women and a boy
   exposed to radiation burns by this saucer. Government is not picking up
   the medical bills.  "Grey"  base is currently abandoned.  Another group
   called "Orange"  is based on the west slope of Mt.  Archeleta near "the
   Diamond".  Goal of Project Beta: to locate,  inventory and propose ways
   of destroying Alien bases! (see 12/29/80)
