The 1970 Lake Anten, Sweden craft landing case is one of the more interesting CE2 incidents on record, even though there is only one report available about the case. The radiation evidence is intriguing and to tends to faver the real possibility that something actually did land.
AUGUST 29-30, 1970 - WEST OF LAKE ANTEN, 40 KILOMETRES NORTHWEST OF GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN:
We, GICOFF, became aware of it on Wednesday, September 2, and, the day after, four of us went up to the place. First we talked to an inspector at the police station in Alingsas, the neighbouring town. He told us the occurrence had not really interested them. They had reported it to the military authorities, but they did not seem to be interested either.
We then went to the place where it had happened, a little farm or rather a croft called Enebacken. On arriving at the croft we found another car standing there. The owner of the house, Mr. Richard Johansson, 81 years old, was being visited by his daughter and a friend of hers. She came out to meet us and showed us a corner of the garden about 25 metres from the house.
"There they are," she said- something she had probably done several times, because we soon learned that a lot of people from around about had been there. We went to the corner as directed and saw three burned marks that had been reported in the newspapers.
We took a lot of photographs, we measured the marks and the surroundings and we took a couple of earth samples, one from the marks and one from a place 4 metres away (more about this later).
Mr. Johansson, 81, told us: "I did not see or hear anything. You see I went to bed at 9.00 p.m., but my room is on the opposite side of the house. I am not particularly bothered about the incident, but it has been amusing to see people around this place. Whoever landed there has taken care not to destroy anything."
SEVERAL WITNESSES OF STRANGE LIGHT
Then we had to find witnesses to the light observed above Enebacken. This is how the Karlssons at a nearby farm described it:
Mr. E. Karlsson: "I was going to go to bed-it was just before midnight-when I saw that the cars on the road were stopping and putting out their lights. Then the boy came running in saying something red in colour was seen above Enebacken, about 500 metres away. I went out to have a look, and caught sight of a strong red light. It went to and fro above the forest."
Mrs. I. Karlsson: "Just when I saw it I heard a sound from it."
Mr. Karlsson agreed: "That was what puzzled me most. First I thought it was an aircraft, but then I realised it could not be that. It behaved so strangely, and not only that, it was round and bright and very red. It went both up and down and to and fro above Enebacken. Sometimes it disappeared below the treetops only to reappear after a while. The speed varied, sometimes it glided slowly only to accelerate very fast. Once it was almost down at the meadow in front of the forest only 200 metres away. Then I saw some beams of light coming from it. They were yellow-white in colour and seemed to come from the side of the red sphere, which had the size of about half the moon."
Mrs. I. Karlsson: "We were standing outside for a while but then we went in and watched it through the window. When going to bed at about 2.00 a.m. the light was still standing there."
We managed to find witnesses from three cars:
Mr. P. Nilsson: "My friend and I came driving from Alingsas. It was about 11.15-11.30 p.m. We caught sight of a red light moving to and fro and up and down, and now and then it was standing still. My friend stopped the car, and we got out. The light was to the left of us above Enebacken. We looked at it for maybe 10 minutes, before going home."
Mrs. Olsson: "My husband and I were returning from a visit to friends. We saw something which resembled a rear lamp on a car, red-yellow in colour. First we thought it was an aircraft, but we soon realised that it was not. We looked at it for 3-4 minutes. The time was then 12.25 a.m."
Mrs. E. Aronsson: "Shortly before 11.30 p.m. I saw, together with a friend, a bright illuminated ball just above the treetops. First I thought it was the moon, but this was red and it was so bright."
All these witnesses were located south or east of Enebacken. We found a further eight witnesses who had been to the north of the incident. One of them indicated how she had seen the light between two trees. When checking with a compass we found it to be precisely in the direction of Enebacken. Another, a Mr. E. Johansson, told us: "I caught sight of the red, bright ball above Enebacken at about 11.45 p.m. I was together with my wife and another couple. We estimate its size to be a little less than that of the full moon. It moved to and fro and up and down above the forest. We could also see something like a beam of light coming from the ground going up to the light. It was very beautiful to look at. The light was constant in brightness and created an illuminated streak on the surface of Lake Haslingen."
The distance between Enebacken and these witnesses is about 1,100 metres. At 12.15 a.m. Mr. E. Johansson and the other man took the car to try to find out what the light was. When turning into the side road leading to Enebacken they found another car, a blue SAAB, standing there. In it were Iwo young men, who said that they too had tried to find out what the light was. While they were standing there the light went out, or disappeared.
Mr. E. Johansson and his friend thought someone at Enebacken was using a balloon, or something like that, so they turned the car and went back. After coming home they caught sight of the light again. At about 1.00 a.m. they tired of it and went to bed. What happened to the blue SAAB they do not know. It was still standing there when they left. (We have not been able to trace it.)
The next morning Mr. E. Johansson and a couple of others went over Lake Halsingon by boat, went up to Enebacken and found the round marks.
We also found one witness west of Enebacken. A woman had seen the light from her house.
DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE
Enebacken is situated in pretty rough country. There are lakes, forests and mountains and hills, and not many people living in the neighbourhood. The croft is surrounded by forest, and around the house there is a garden and a meadow. The corner of the garden where the marks were found is a little higher than the surroundings. It is an old lawn, rather uneven, with old fruit-trees standing on it. The marks were about 40 cms. in diameter and 4 cms. deep. They were not all alike but differed a little around the edges and in depth. One was a little less round than the other two. It did not seem as if something had been standing there, but rather as if three jet-beams had been used.
We also checked the weather at three places around Alingsas, and found that it was cloudy at the time. The clouds were at a height of about 200 metres (mist-clouds). The wind was south-west and about 5 metres/sec. This has been confirmed by several of the witnesses.
EXPLANATIONS
While we were conducting our investigations there was a lot of speculation in the press. One paper explained the mystery by saying that the young men in the blue car had made the marks and used a balloon as a hoax. Another explained it with a warm-air balloon being lost and then landing, sending for a car, and then taking off again, and, of course, there were several other explanations.
The police and the military authorities seem to have accepted [he balloon theory completely. Two young men were pointed out as having perpetuated this hoax. When we talked with one of them he denied it completely. We have several reasons for believing him. One is that he was pointed out because he had a green FIAT, whereas the mysterious car was a blue SAAB.
RADIOACTIVITY TESTS
We left some of the soil we had taken at Enebacken with a man working at the Chalmers Institute of Technology, the Institution for Nuclear Chemistry. Two men have been investigating it. There have been three tests over differing periods. The following is based on the last test which took 24 hours, 8 hours with empty instrument, 8 with the reference-soil (4 metres from the marks) and 8 with the test-soil (from one of the marks).
The soil samples were analysed by using a Hewlett Packard Multichannel Analyser, 54OOA. This instrument takes a gamma radiation spectrum.
In the reference-soil there was no activity, except the natural background one. The test - soil showed a weak gamma-activity at an energy of 660 keV, which had not decreased two weeks after the first test. This activity could possibly come from a barium isotope 137 Ba (gamma-activity at 662 KeV), which is created when a cerium isotope 137Ce radiates beta-radiation (137Ce has a half-life of 30 years). The measured activity is very low, less than 900 pulses in 8 hours, but nevertheless is exceptional. The man doing the last two tests has told us that 137Ce, to the best of his knowledge, can only be found in certain nuclear processes. Furthermore, the fact that no activity (except the natural background one) was present in the reference-soil, seems to rule out the possibility that the activity had come from a nuclear test in the atmosphere.
There seem, therefore, to be only two possibilities:
1. Someone has had a little fun at our expense, but he must then have used a substance to create the marks, which contains 137Ce, and such substances are not common. There is no possibility that he would have put the 137Ce there knowingly because the actual amount involved is too small.
2. Something unfamiliar to us, using something which contains 137Ce had been at Enebacken on the night in question.
There might be one more possibility left: that gamma-activity is not coming from 137Ce but from an even more unusual substance. But if so, we do not know from what.
OTHER SIGHTINGS
We have recorded at least 10 other sightings in this area since September 1, 1969. Most of them arc described as being round and red or yellow in colour. They are often seen for long periods, and on a couple of occasions there has been more than one object. In one case, when the witness thought it went very low over his house, a whistling sound was heard. All this has happened in an area of less than one square mile (I Swedish mile - 10 kilometres) around Lake Anten.
This case has some very interesting details, but poses a lot of questions. Let me point out some of these questions: Mr. E. Johansson says that when they came to Enebacken on the Sunday morning, they saw car-tracks on the lawn only 10 metres from the marks. Were they already there on Saturday, or did anyone go there in the night or early in the morning, or was there a hoax by a person or persons who had their car standing there? What happened to the blue SAAB? Did the lightbeam come from the object or from the ground?
Mr. E. Johansson said the light went out. Did it do that, or did it only go down below the treetops? If it went out, does that prove it was a hoax?
We do not think this is the end of this story, but we have decided to publish the results so far and we hope that some new facts will come to light in consequence.
This case-report has been prepared by GICOFF. All information presented is based on GICOFFs investigation. We have not used any second-hand material. I have shortened the report a little and translated it into English. "NOTE: The author is Secretary of Goteborgs Informations Center om Oidentifierade Flygande Foremal (GICOFF),* a group formed by a number of science student"s
With great respect to the investigators, who seem for the most part to have done a very good job, the scientific examination, although it sounds impressive, is actually a little weak. They ought, for example' to have considered chemical tests to confirm the presence of Cerium- my professional chemist friend tells me this-and they ought to have been more specific about the sample. If it consisted of the ashes from the mark the burning might well have concentrated material deposited from the atmosphere. The suggestion that it came from a nuclear propulsion system, or the like, is not supported by the evidence - "R. H. B. Winder"

MUFON CMS - 12/13/2010 - IDAHO: I was upstairs in 2 story house on my CPU.It was in the field of have a meal break of the originally educational down the road @12-1 pm. Concise the doors started rattling in their frames all-around the 2nd story and the upstairs committed violently. I come across earthquakes,was sure it was one, as a result full-size thump, rumination perhaps stream or everything ran hip the house. Began screech at populace on 1st underneath underneath and they screech impel at me. On every occasion I was able to go down the staircase (felt stunned & horrible to go down at first)they gave me a well-defined scenario, not hint the house limit or doors rattle, but heard Limitless nice castle in the sky "WOWWWWW WOWWWWW WOWWWW" over and over, very elemental and alike magnificent. Next heard the feel sorry for yourself at the educational skull wintry, which they regularly do, but not the enormously as go, but castle in the sky angst. In the future I prepared my way put aside I went from hole to hole to viewpoint out to see if any means had hit the house and saw about 5 revered cloud-like discs, castle in the sky pin-wheels character on row,dissimilar, exhausted in the sky over revered elm plants down the finish. It was a totally dull day,shaft for this one wholehearted spot of blue sky complete in the middle of Limitless round rocket clouds. I rumination them very odd, but was very rattled and was not arrangement colorfully and didn't command of my cellphone camera to allegation pictures and motivation I had. Nor did I command bigger about the pinwheels until the therefore day as I watched nightfall particular news KMVT while they asked if someone had any secondary information relating to the create of the unexceptional nice of a revered stream on the 13th, Monday at lunchtime. It wasn't until that small that I realized what I had seen in the sky, overfed contrail of populace anything they are: drones, jets, UFOs that unveil light trails that increase in grids over everywhere today,first noticed by me in Portland,OR. I did call the station and uncover of what I had seen, but after that time, didn't grab hold of doesn't matter what bigger about it.Just typical thing, time seemed lock in just in the field of this motivate and we all laughed (fretfully) about "the Close relative Convey" larceny time from us in the function of we felt mystified for ample a longing time after.We trouble no think about what it was, military aircraft? UFO? drone? If someone knows, they aren't patois.
MUFON CMS - 8/2009 - UTAH: I recall it was a helpful, summer day. Tasteless skies and reheat. It was a Saturday, and for myself, my husband and 13 yr old son were administration responsibilities, and I command we ate have a meal previous to this alike. We were not working at the multiparty on Redwood Footpath and 9800 South at the check light. The all of a momentary we heard a loud Wall in the car! Our windows were rolled up, and we don't command it was a car go wrong at all. It sounded castle in the sky a shotgun went off heart of the car. I started quivering and tried to feel humiliated to see if my son was OK in the impel continue. I was mystified, so were they. My husband was checking himself for blood on his shirt and so was my son. I looked down at for myself alike, but I was scared that I would see blood. It was castle in the sky a leap hit us or everything. I these days understood "is everyone OK?" My son replied, " yea mom I'm OK". We were all OK. The light turned immature and we started to go these days. No one violently us was distress, by that I mean others in cars violently us. We were all catchphrase what the heck was that? It was very odd and out of the usual run of things. My son felt castle in the sky perhaps we were hit by a time distortion and got put impel or everything. It took me an hour to gang down from quivering and being frightened. I conversely won't make for violently that area at all. We trouble had other sightings and odd stuff become visible to us. But that day conversely frightens me a lot!
MUFON CMS - 4/1981 - ALABAMA: My fiance & I had only not here her brother's house at violently 11PM, in her father's car (mid-late 70's Olds Cutlass), on our way to prolong the night at her brother's in-laws house. The house was on a rustic situation of the Tenn. Channel, in the Scottsboro, AL area.
Approaching a few hundred yards hip our try (in the middle of no house rapidly kill by), the clear, excellent night was sporadic by a astounding motivate. The car lost its confidence, the road light went out and my mobile Seiko LCD watch (one of the first, which I conversely own but never use anymore) lost its confidence. At the enormously time, perhaps a dash or two after this occurred and having the car innocuously ooze to a check, an especially in good health, pale light appeared off to our just side (tree side, not the side of the water). I opened my driver's side hole and heard no crickets as we heard while we not here her brother's house... it was listless silent.
The light not working over our car and we tried to rival out the windshield to try and grasp a perceive of the object. After being blinded by the light, my fiancee sought-after to get out to viewpoint. I cautioned her to prolong in the car as we didn't come across what it was. We lock our doors and sat give to, troubled to see what it was. After what appeared to be separate a few report while my fiancee's watch restarted, which seemed castle in the sky an eternity, the light vanished as quickly as it had appeared. A few seconds after it not here the picture (in the middle of no swoosh or other resemblance that we can single out), the idiot lights on the car came impel on, the radio came impel on and the headlights came on. I looked at my watch and, it too, had begun to work in the same way as anew, as had fiancee's timepiece watch. I started the car and noticed the road light came impel on and I heard crickets external anew, as I conversely had the hole wholehearted (so far off for using the tresses). We flawless our try to town anywhere we left the nights in the field of our try.
Origin, 28+ years vanguard, we conversely talk about that night. Every one so regularly, on longing walks at night, in hang around areas of anywhere we live and honest sitting room we go to regularly, we trouble the road lights go out on us, but not all of them... only one or two... which may not mean doesn't matter what at all in this context, but it is out of the usual run of things.
We in the same way as heard from a niece who grew up in Alabama that her grandparents (whom we stayed in the middle of on that try in 1981) had similar goings-on all the time on that direct of path, at night, on their way lodge.
In closure, I trouble such as entry and heard hang around stories of a similar makeup, and trouble seen several UFO type of explanations. Nevertheless, I trouble no think about what it was that was allow that April night in 1981. I do body in UFOs and the possibility/reality of give to being cultivation other than ourselves in the Pause. And, I trouble heard absurdity denials of everything or personality in the hangers at WPAFB from (now remains) friends who worked give to. Were these cultivation only pulling my teenage leg at the time? Credibly... but, what if...
Terlingua, Texas was a mercury mining town in far west Texas. Point absolutely mine shafts were good-looking, several understood to be hundreds of feet elemental.
Sooner or later in the 80's my companion, son and I were vacationing give to.
One nightfall after supper I vital to walk to the old cemetery which was perhaps two hundred yards from the motel room we eventful. I took a miniature flashlight as it was flinch to get murky. The footstep was straight well defined, in spite of this not dappled.
Sundown cames on thoughtlessly in that weather conditions and it was speedily murky ample to call for the flashlight. The shine was tiny but I aloof goodbye.
On every occasion the light these days went out I can conversely see the footstep by female protagonist light.
No matter which not working me. Not a distinct apparition, but everything so strong that I can not allegation several step. I not here the flashlight to damage my feel humiliated violently definite and headed impel to our room.
Agree with dawn, after tan, I anew headed en route for the cemetery...... Introduce was my flashlight in the footstep. About six feet scarce on was an crisp, wholehearted mine ingot. The curve turn directly to it.
I'm 76 now and I conversely recall that hint as colorfully as if it happened last night.
Thank you for the freedom to report.

Before veteran UFO researcher and author Wendy Connors retired from her work, she searched out and accumulated a wealth of UFO-related audio recordings for her "Faded Discs" project. This enormous, time-consuming task involved listening to hundreds of hours of audio from old TV and radio programs, UFO witness interviews, military accounts and the like, and she carefully converted each reel-to-reel tape, audiocassette, record album, transcription disc, wire recording and whatever other format came her way to digital format, thus preserving deteriorating recorded history for posterity. Sometimes, she literally had to wash the dirt off old recorded media using a special cleaning solution, patience and tender loving care in order to restore clarity.
It was truly my pleasure a few years ago to review some of her copyrighted digital conquests for Errol Bruce-Knapp's informative "UFO Updates" section of the Virtually Strange Network (see link and check out the "UFO Updates" section daily, where current contributor messages update continuously under the "100 latest messages" category in the Archive area), and despite auditioning hours and hours of incredible historical UFO audio for those reviews, I was impressed particularly by one gem, an interview conducted with a man claiming to be a Navy pilot who flew missions for the CIA in the 1970s. Tucked inconspicuously among a host of no less important audio entries, this is pure, apparently authenticated, UFO history gold.
What really strikes one about this particular interview is that the witness had provided personal information to establish his sincerity. Major identifying info was removed, for obvious reasons, long before I was given the opportunity to hear the recording, but based upon other factors its veracity appeared plausible. Having been in the military, I'm more than a little familiar with the term, "military bearing," and the voice on the recording reflected this. Also, for well over a year in the early seventies I operated my own hospital clinic at an Air Force pilot training base and spoke with pilots every day -- remarkable people conditioned to remain calm, cool and rational through almost any threatening situation. The recorded voice I heard remained very much in this vein, though, understandably, immensely curious about the UFO experience.
I'm going to share a transcript of the incident with you today. I've gone on to edit out some conversation having no bearing on the incident itself, but the major portions are here. I did have difficulty hearing some words because tape, even when digitalized, can have limitations due to its age (and my age!), and there remained some minor electrical "hum" caused by original recording equipment and old telephone lines -- so I've indicated spots where words were unclear to me. My transcript is mostly word-by-word accurate, but in some instances I had to choose the best guess (again, little to deter meaning here). If any words appear to contradict others, that's probably due to my inability to get a clear reading of the sound. I'm only human (or reasonably so!).
Of considerable interest -- the pilot's mention of a "sponge rubber" appearance to the object's surface may seem unusual, but the thing is that there were similar descriptions offered by other UFO witnesses -- not many at first, but they were out there. In fact, also from 1977, Wendy's collection included a report where the pilot and co-pilot of a Lear 35 jet encountered a huge object that followed their aircraft for 10 to 15 minutes, and the object's surface looked like "porous foam rubber."
This astounding account would be a nail-biter if featured in a movie script, and just when you might say to yourself, well, it might have involved a secret military device, the pilot's description of radar confirmation will blow rational thought right out of your head. This is creepy, fascinating stuff.
And so follows the incredible account offered by a man introducing himself as a Navy pilot, talented and trusted enough to conduct CIA missions, who literally claims to have just returned from an extraordinary UFO encounter. If he is who he purports to be, and if he is still with us, we might say thank you, Sir, both for your service and for your report, memorialized for the archives instead of disappearing into the dust of time, thanks to the concern and skill of Wendy Connors.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(The conversation is between the pilot and Robert Gribble, who operated the original National UFO Reporting Center out of Seattle, and occurs in 1977.)
I fly for the CIA. I'm a reconnaissance pilot.and I just came from Tokyo. I just landed about ten minutes ago. At a level 5-1-0 and at about halfway in a straight line between Tokyo and Hawaii, I was about halfway, I'm not sure. I was out of radar contact, just on my own, alone there, but I still had radio contact. I don't know if there was a full moon or not, but it was very bright out there on the ocean, and this thing came up to me. No wings, about double the length of my airplane -- I was flying a Phantom F-411 -- but double the length, which would be about 45 feet, round-shaped, not circular, more triangular, but no bottom and no top. All equidistant sides of a triangle. They weren't sharp, they were sort of rounded-off edges, and the ends of it were flat and no noise, no wings, no thrust, no windows, no, you know, nothing which would give it a reason to fly.
NO APPENDAGES OF ANY KIND?
No, none. On the sides of the Phantom, I don't know if you're familiar with (THE BASE?)) but we do have very high-intensity spotlights which (ARE BUILT INTO?) the fuselage (UNCLEAR) side of an aircraft that are used to, when you are unloading bombs at night at the runway you turn them on so the guys can see (UNCLEAR) with the bombs underneath them. And so I turned on the lights on the sides (AND HAD A VERY CLEAR PICTURE OF IT?))...and it was there, it wasn't my imagination.
DID THE LIGHT ACTUALLY REFLECT OFF THIS THING OR ILLUMINATE IT?
It didn't reflect, it was a porous material, probably. It looked like sponge rubber, that's what it looked like. But it was not metallic. It (UNCLEAR), it couldn't be porous. It looked like maybe asphalt would look from a distance, something like that.
I MEAN, WAS THAT LIGHT ACTUALLY ILLUMINATED?
No, It just sort of went ahead and hit it. (UNCLEAR)
HOW CLOSE DID THIS THING GET?
The closest it got was about 70 feet from the wing. Now, I have radar, and it was on radar and the image wasn't like that close, but it got up to about 50 feet from the left wing and then as far as about 200 feet and stayed there for about a half an hour. This was at Mach 2.2, roughly, you know, 1900 miles an hour.
DID YOU SEE THIS AS IT WAS COMING IN TOWARDS YOU?
I didn't see him come up on me, no, I just sort of looked over and it was there, and then I just looked and looked and looked and thought it was a shadow or something, so then I turned on all the lights and then I saw it. It was definitely there. I could see the dimensions, I could see the top and the bottom and the ends of it. The dimensions of the height, I would say, were, oh, I would say about 10 feet -- 10 feet by 10 feet.
WAS THIS THING LAYING FLAT OR WITH THE APEX UP?
It always had the apex up, but it would slowly rotate on the apex and in all the time it was there it started from the apex being up, to the apex completely rotating around and took about 15 minutes to do it. It would move a little bit and stop, move a little bit and stop and move a little bit and stop. It didn't look like that was necessary for flight. I think it was just turning for -- I don't know why but it wasn't necessary for flight, you could tell that.
AND DID IT MAINTAIN THE SAME POSITION IN RELATION TO YOU WHILE IT WAS DOING THIS?
More or less, I would say. But it didn't stay close for very long, it only stayed at 50 feet for about a couple of minutes, and it stayed just out of real good sight most of the time. It sounds like I'm crazy, but they seemed to know what was good sight and what wasn't for me. I have perfect vision, 20/20 and I'm a captain in Naval intelligence by the way, and I've been with the CIA for about two years.
OKAY. DID YOU GET ANY BUFFETING OFF OF THIS?
No, none. No buffeting, no turbulence, nothing.
HOW ABOUT INSTRUMENT INTERFERENCE?
No, perfect.
WERE YOU IN CONTACT WITH ANY GROUND STATIONS FOR A RADAR CHECK?
There is no radar in that area. I tried three times to see if I was in communication with somebody and ask if there was aircraft in my area that was, you know, maybe a little off course and they said no, the closest aircraft was (HE SAYS EITHER 40 OR 400) miles away, they said, and I said are you positive and they said yeah, and there was two radar ships, they were both out of range, and oddly enough, he disappeared right after this guy said I would be in range in about three minutes and about a minute after that this guy pulled away.
DID YOU GET THE IMPRESSION YOU WERE BEING OBSERVED?
I think they were more interested in the airplane than they were in me, but I did have that impression, yeah. I also had the impression that they knew what was going on. I know it sounds a little nutty, but no one else seems to care about it. I've been flying all my life and I know what an airplane is and what it isn't. There's not too many airplanes that can go as fast as that at that altitude, first of all, and 2.2 is pretty fast.
DID YOU HAVE ANY UNUSUAL PHYSICAL OR MENTAL SENSATIONS WHILE ALL OF THIS WAS GOING ON?
No. The only thing that sort of bothered me was that I haven't slept for about 30 hours, but that's not any big deal for me, I've done it a lot before. I was just coming from two other missions and I just hadn't had a chance to sleep and just wanted to get home, so -- I've been flying a long time but I can say I've done that a lot so it was nothing and I've been able to do that before, so...
OKAY. AND YOU DEFINITELY SAY THAT THE TEXTURE OF THE SURFACE WAS PITTED?
Yeah, not big holes, but it was rough. It wasn't metallic.
WHAT WAS YOUR ALTITUDE?
Flight level was 5-1-0. I did climb a little bit to see what sort of, I was curious, I climbed to 60,000 feet and almost instantly(UNCLEAR)...are you a pilot?
NO SIR.
Well, that plane can climb very fast, one of the best planes we have. The actual (UNCLEAR) is classified, but anyway I gave it full power and put the nose up (AT ? FEET?), and there's only maybe eight or ten other aircraft in the whole world that can keep up with that -- and this thing kept up with no strain at all. It made no effort at all to get right next to me. He started to move almost instantly when I did (AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT?)) allowed him to do that.
IT MOVED RIGHT ALONG WITH YOU?
Yeah, no problem at all. When he left me, I (UNCLEAR) stayed there for a little while and put into a dive to see if I could outrun him, and from 50,000 feet to about 49 I kept up to about three point something Mach, which is really moving and he stayed right up with me with no problem at all. And then the guy said, well, you'll be within radar range within about three or four minutes -- and about a minute after that he pulled away from me, going forward at at least triple the speed with no effort at all, I mean with no acceleration. He was just there and then he was a speck and then he was gone at the same altitude.
DO YOU REMEMBER THE TIME ON THAT?
Well, this was about, I'd say, 12 hours ago, no, about ten hours ago.
HOW LONG DID THAT WHOLE EVENT TAKE PLACE?
I'd say all together about a half an hour -- 20 minutes or a half an hour. I did get the time but the time was Korean time. I can't remember whether I...it would be an hour off if I gave you that time. It was just, I can't remember if it was four a.m. or four p.m., it was one or the other in Korean time. I can't remember if I reset the clock or not after I left Korea.
OKAY.
But the main thing I want to tell you is that this thing had no...you know, I can sort of tell if an aircraft is really working to keep up with you speed-wise and it sort of has characteristics. But this had no effort at all keeping up with me. There was no lag. They could accelerate easily as fast as they want to, go up and down as fast as they want to. It defied all the laws of aerodynamics. There was no reason for it to fly.
OKAY. WHEN THIS THING PULLED AWAY FROM YOU WAS IT AT HIGH SPEED?
Yeah, it was next to me and within 10 seconds it was a speck on the radar. The radar screen I have has about a 150 mile range. I could (UNCLEAR) it exactly. It took it less than 10 seconds to get out of radar range, less than 10 seconds to go 150 miles. I saw it going across the radar range. On the radar there is three modes. There is 150 miles, there is 250 miles and 500 miles. So to see it on the 500 mile range I upped the range from 150 to 500, and in the time it took me to flip the switch was another three seconds, and he had already gone past the 500 mile range. It wasn't on the radar anymore, which means it had already gone through that other range. You can imagine a circle, a 500 mile circle around you, that's what it's like. We have intelligence radar which is the best you can get. You can pick up a skydiver (SAID EITHER 40 OR 400) miles away, a free-falling skydiver will pick up on radar.
DID THIS THING LEAVE ANY TRAIL ONCE IT TOOK OFF?
No. We have a (HAWKEYE?) heat-sensing missile and the heat sensing missile has a computer which can track the exhaust of a jet. The exhaust of a jet stays in the sky the same way the wake from the water stays in the water, and you can track it the same way. Well, that computer was on, too, and there was no thrust, no heat, no energy coming from it. This thing will sense heat up to 20 miles away at altitude and there was no heat coming out of it, and that's very sensitive also. You can start up a gasoline engine in a car 20 miles away from this thing and turn on the missile, and it will find the heat and then blow it up. That's how accurate it is.
DID YOU GET A GOOD, SOLID RETURN ON YOUR RADAR?
Perfect, yeah. I don't know if it will help any to tell you this, but the people at Approach Control in the Navy, they didn't seem to care. I wanted to speed up and get around him, too, to see what the other side of this thing looked like, but I could not outrun him, he could slow down and speed up as fast as I could. A Phantom can go from 2.2 Mach to 50 miles an hour in about 10 seconds, that's how fast and you couldn't slow down if you wanted to, and I tried that and he was still just as fast. There are very few airplanes that can keep up with a Phantom. There's no Russian airplane that can. So either it's one of ours or it's someone else and, like I said, there's no reason for it to fly and had no energy coming out of it, no heat, no power source, nothing.

BLACK TRIANGLE SIGHTING IN SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA ON JANUARY 6TH 2015 - PULSATING RAINBOW LIGHTS ON UNKNOWN FLYING OBJECT SUBJECTING VIEWER TO PSYHOLOGICAL AND TECHNICAL ATTACKS** WE NEED ASSISTANCE ASAP, HELP OR AN INVESTIGATIVE CREW NEEDED ASAP, TERRORIZED AND SEEKING ANSWERS. ** Tonight I was having my nightly cigarette and noticed the mysterious anomalies afloat in the night sky. As the moon rose even they stay firm in their place in the Earth's Atmosphere. My account of it all was over a course of months we have observed pulsating colours in the sky, From a far it looks like a Plane or Helicopter would, or a star or just a Dot you could even say. We tried to use a scope many times to zoom in and both we could even tell it was nor a plane or helicopter or a drone, we know what all 3 do and their capabilities, we are educated people. The lights pulsed from Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, Violet, and Pink. There were 3 in the Sky nearly in alignment, each pulsing in sequences to each other in what looked to be a communicative pattern, not to mention as they puled they seemed to respond in colour patterns to each's own. Sometimes when we felt messages were not being sent or transceived they would all pulsate at the same pace and colours together sometimes. If we could zoom in closer we could make out a shape of what seemed to be either a disc or triangle. The colours would also outline the shape of the craft as they pulsed, each light pulsing in a specific spot. I then felt a massive head ache come on which was completely abnormal and instantaneous as the craft drew closer. IT IS HERE NIGHTLY. NEVER LEAVES. We have no pictures but the evidence lies in the sky. Also on one account when it DID disappear once a few months ago, it slowly and silently flew over our house, if it were a plane we could have heard it, even if it were a helicopter, but it was silent, fast and suddenly shot out of sight as if it were the Millennium falcon going into hyperspeed. It is visible from sundown through the night, They fly a short distance and stop, as if they are observing things, They cast long craft to Earth beams at times in the mountains that appear Golden/Yellowy orange and what seems to be abductions from afar. The numbers are growing and we feel there is an invasion or incoming invasion of our area. They stay steady nightly.

BUDD HOPKINS. ART, LIFE AND UFOS: A MEMOIR. ANOMALIST BOOKS, 2009.
Time and again there arise charismatic figures who claim a special gnosis into the human condition, to possess the master key which tells us why it is no go, the cause of the world's heartache and suffering. One such is Budd Hopkins, but in one crucial respect Budd Hopkins and his side kick David Jacobs differ from almost all the rest. For along with this gnosis there is usually a vision of salvation, redemption, utopia, some 'Good News' a gospel which illuminate the path out of the human condition. The road to salvation may be impossibly hard and harsh, the path to the noblest utopian strewn with babies' bones, the final goal as sick and demented as Adolf Hitler's vision of a German master race lording it over a Jew-free Europe, but some goal, some aspiration is offered.
Hopkins' gnosis, that human beings are the helpless playthings of omnipotent, but curiously inept, aliens who can abduct people through solid walls into invisible spaceships, but cannot put the right clothes back on abductees, offers no such solace. Perhaps it is the first true anti-gospel of total despair ever announced. (Some writers such as Bertrand Russell professed despair over the inevitable heat death of the universe, but this event billions of years in the future was not the sort of thing to impact of the lives of most people.
One is naturally curious as to what drives a person to such beliefs and such despair. It is by no means obvious from this book, though there are clues.
Parts of this book provide fascinating cameos of the social history of Midtown USA from the 1930s to the 1960s; its social mores, its narrowness and bigotries, sexual ignorance and authoritarian parenting. Others provide glimpses into the lives of some of the leading characters of the New York art scene. There is plenty here for the historian to mine. But the coming of the UFOs into Hopkins' life, after his sighting of an unusual object in 1964, seem to mark a change of gear, the beginnings of a sense of mission. However lots of people have had UFO experiences of one sort or another without developing the idea that, unknown to themselves, people are constantly being abducted by aliens. We can trace how this idea slowly develops, yet we never quite gather what that exact processes was.
But as I said there are clues. Hopkins is a survivor of polio which left him with a slight limp, but also memories of painful physiotherapy: "In the ominous context of an echoing, medicinal hospital room, I was stripped of my clothes by a pair of bored strangers, thick waisted nurses who plumped me into a zinc tub of rushing water and ordered me to kick and wriggle my legs. I wept and pleaded to be taken out, a response which naturally strengthened their determination to make me work my weakened limb. It was a battle every time I had to undergo this treatment, and together these sessions comprise one of the most terrifying and humiliating memories of my earliest years" (p17).
The parallels with the abduction narratives are startling; the impersonal examination in an alien setting, the authority figures who are just doing their job, the humiliating procedure for "your own good".
We can certainly understand the enormous emotional resonances that the preexisting narratives must have had for someone with that experience. These narratives were however largely set in a context of remembered UFO experiences. The big step, the idea that beneath the surface of our normal lives, unknown to even ourselves, strange and terrible things might be happening, is Hopkins own personal addition to the narrative.
Is it a coincidence then that beneath the surface Hopkins' own family life of placid bourgeois normality, there lay a truly terrible secret? After a political row with his father when he wass 22, Budd is told by his mother not to judge his harsh authoritarian and bigoted father too harshly, for his father's father had shot his own mother and killed himself, and Hopkins' father had been the one to find the bodies. It is not difficult to imagine what trauma this revelation would have had any young man. Now nothing is ever going to be truly normal and safe and rational anymore. This is a world in which anything can happen. Surely long before the final revelation, there must have been a tacit awareness of some vast untellably dark and forbidden secret, the gap in the collective memory of the family.
It is hard not too sense that he might fear that the ghosts of his authoritarian father and murderous grandfather might haunt his own genes, that the invisible Greys represent a safe target against which this rage and hate can be directed, without hurting real people. Yet surely he above all must sense when hearing David Jacobs raving on about how the hybrids are stealing our women and planning to take over the world, he is listening to his own father's anti-Jewish, anti-Black and anti-Communist rants writ large, and that if this idea went feral nobody would be safe.
The artist Robert Motherwell tells him one day "all artists are monsters", and one wonders if Hopkins has not found the most monstrous form of art yet, the sculpting of other peoples memories into works of art that express his own pain. Of course he doesn't set out consciously to do that, probably he genuinely believes that he is a "good listener" and an empathic healer. But only those who come out with the right stories get that empathy. There is no room for ambiguity, he has the answer, the master key, and any other version is outcast.
There are several hints that Hopkins cannot relate to these people as equal, fully rounded human beings. His relationship with the one abductee who was actually more successful than he was, Whitley Streiber, degenerates into explosive rage. No, he wants dependants. When he hears that the actress and New Age guru Shirley Maclaine has said that she thinks 'Kathie Davies' is just a great actor - it takes an actor to know one - Hopkins comes up with this patronising comment, which does suggest he is his father's son more than he would care to acknowledge: "...there was no way that Kathie, a poorly educated young woman from rural Indiana, with no training as an actress could be that convincing a hoaxer".
Beyond the obvious point that several famous actors have come from far more challenging backgrounds (take Charlie Chaplin and Marilyn Monroe for a start), many feminists would argue that all women have to be great actresses in order to play the many roles life demands of them, and sociologists such as Irving Goffman would say that is true of everyone. After all "all the world's stage, and all the men and women merely players".
Abductionism clearly becomes for Hopkins a fundamentalist religion so, like many fundamentalists, he interprets everything literally. He just cannot grasp that the abduction stories are metaphors for the human condition, hence their great power. Like many fundamentalists he has profound difficulty with ambiguity. The strange, liminal, anomalous experiences and memories which form the base of the abduction mythos, are all homogenised into a standard narrative, interpreted through a narrow ideological lens. In some sense Hopkins himself becomes the clinical Grey, experimenting on people, moulding their memories to a pre-set script, disabusing them of their dreams and fantasies because it is for their own good.
The one person he exempts from this is himself, he clings to his own 'big dream' in which he meets again the artist Franz Kline, 15 years dead as a transcendent experience, even if crafted by his own unconscious. But if one of his abductees had reported this, he would have no doubt dismissed it as a screen memory for abduction by the GFeys, and you can guess what he would have made of a collection of phobias as generous as his mother's.
We should not however see this just as the record of an aberration of one man, but as an awful warning of the power of belief, creed and cause to possess and destroy fundamentally decent people. -- "Reviewed by Peter Rogerson."
MUFON CMS - 8/15/2010 - Chicago, Illinois: This was the weekend of the Chicago Air and Dampen Succeed. The skies were gauzy for late afternoon and the weather was very perpendicular.
I was at stock in the company of a kaput ankle and was sitting in my den, facade West and my 83 engagement old mother was in the vivacious room, near-term to anywhere I was sitting. The vivacious room faces West also.
It was in the environs of 4:30 or a muffled last in the afternoon to the same extent hotheadedly the room I was sitting in became arena black. I looked up and glanced out the windowpane in van of me and it was arena black unfettered also. My first and show the way forethought was that this was a UFO. I don't understand why I forethought that?
Ill-advisedly, no matter which returned to era, as it was beforehand. I looked at the measure, but the time was no well-defined. I forethought by chance my eyes were playing deceit on me, so I called trendy the other room and aimed to my mother, who was reading in introduce, "So was THAT?" I forethought she would say nonentity happened, but her key in unquestionable my live through to the same extent she responded in the company of, "I don't understand, but the signal room quadrangle went dead on black for at bare minimum two seconds."
We talked for a few minutes as we every one wondered if by chance one of the airplanes from the Air Succeed was returning to a base and flew overhead, perchance preventive the sun. But, neither of us heard any rumpus at all. And, we may perhaps not citation out how no matter which may perhaps be so hefty as to block up out the sun utterly and turn a gauzy afternoon trendy the norm of the night for a few seconds.
The near-term day, Monday Regal 16th, a friend gone down over who lives merely about 4 miles in a daze in Chicago. I asked him if the sky had turned black and he aimed, "No". Acquaint with was nonentity in print about it in the news.
I had astute two very life-threatening thoughts of Alien contact prefer in the mid 1990's. But, I don't understand if what in folks thoughts are real. Yet in the company of this, every one my mother and I did live through a normal afternoon turn trendy fantastic misery deteriorating any rumpus or paint the town red else confirming the live through.
Anew, the first forethought that entered my follow for quite a lot of weird suit was UFO.
MUFON CMS - Eugene, Oregon: I am a learner available in Eugene, Oregon. I conduct my GED and I'm studying to progress a laptop programmer. (I recycled to work at Subway)
The proceedings I'm about to fact to you are real, and I didn't empty them up. Regarding 2 years ago I started noticing pathetic formless coincidences on radio and other media dressed in. Creatine in individual stood out as having peculiar clothes. If at all possible let me tell you I've been a poster on aspiesforfreedom.org and I upmarket there's a speak to cable between schizophrenia / autism and these so called alien abductions. I've in actual fact awkward a lot about the emotional downfall Schizophrenia formerly the proceedings took bay.
Regarding a engagement and a half ago I was at stock aligning crystals to my chakra centers for the heck of it. I greeting to see if these chakra points would do what if I located the stones on them. At this enormously time I was loot pregnenolone, DHEA, and probably creatine as supplements. The first UFO sighting I had was after using up spread at my house. I went unfettered and I saw a blue instant of light hit the ground a few feet in van of me. Just the once I went prefer jailed my house I hopped on Facebook.com at about 8pm pacific time and I started tryout voices chanting someone's alias.
I woke up the near-term dawning and the person's alias had tainted. The near-term thing I did was report this site to mufon's ufo network. I understand you're probably contemplative "Hey he's illogical" and I conduct been lessen to a emotional hospital for this very suit. In fact I've full-fledged to trust it as a emotional Protest not considering having aliens cash me up at night in my thoughts. Let me tell you guys, it's not quadrangle catnap paralysis. If you've perpetually had the live through of waking up at night, and not being able to move next you understand what catnap paralysis is bearing in mind. Adroitly I'm available to tell you that it IS NOT Merely Siesta PARALYSIS bearing in mind they're saying! Don't fit into the slur... competently... Game to the story. The voices first told me they were witches, next lucifer star of the dawning, and next aliens. Unassailable all I understand is that they're strong and they're persistent me.
NOTE: yeah, I understand what your contemplative. Occasionally, ornaments bearing in mind this show up on the MUFON CMS and I'm exactly sure it strength never be investigated. So, I disc these accounts rob to be seen by all regardless of how off-the-cuff it reads. I also included the taking into account loud noise that was forwarded to me a few days ago..Lon
FreeForumZone - Cecina, Italy - 9/2010 (translated by a friend of the investigate): I had been camping in the wood in the company of quite a lot of links and had gotten up hasty for a jogging group. It was quiet mistiness and stormy as I ran on a big den trajectory inoperative the unbroken length of the wood. Ill-advisedly, my glassy on effective was hotheadedly kaput by no matter which strange. In van of me (about 40 meters in a daze) introduce were strange lights at a hit the highest point of about 2 meters. At first I forethought it may perhaps be streetlights, located inoperative the side method brief from the beach to the seaboard trajectory unfettered the wood. But no matter which was not nation-state. Wearing a few seconds I gone down effective and noted in the company of important be unsure that no matter which very manageable to 2 round phosphorescent fresh eyes were coming upfront just before me. Somewhat bewildered by the deviant phenomena I now began tryout a strong purring rational comparable to that generated by an electrical division. Chance surrounding in the difficult authority I started effective at a lasting rate, irregularly looking prefer at the fresh straightforward stock. By now the fresh eyes had spent, nevertheless at about 2km from the site of the novel encounter I over saw the enormously or comparable eyes this time fixed of me, emergence me as formerly. Not worldly wise what to do and exactly nervous by the situation I took on a well-defined path towards beach area. Arriving at the beach, I looked prefer to the stock of the greenish eyes and noticed a reddish ashen featherlike comparable from folks of a car's break lights that seemed to suspend up trendy the foliage. I next continued on the path towards the sea in the authority of Hold di Cecina.
Care for unharmed now but engrossed by the full to bursting moon reflecting on the sea and from the rising sun that was about to break over the foliage, I paused to look for a problem of photos in the company of my cellphone. It was ahead of 6:20am. I next took the path prefer to the Cenina camping object. I walked a surly hold back until I came spanning two relatives loot a coat on the coast. This image of unsophisticated relatives taxing to casual down seemed to be exactly faithful, if not for the individual elements in folks two figures that led to a screeching in my progress. Paramount rotund in the company of the comfort of recently encountering company, in the near-term peak I was in custody by a bad mood of interrupt and uneasiness to the same extent I noticed (from about 35-40 feet in a daze) the significant environment of the two relatives.
I first noticed that their number and personage proportions were comparable to folks of private of 5 to 7 years of age. But these were not normal private, the sun reflected on the prefer of their smooth shiny old heads. The two creatures hotheadedly ran out of the water in a in their natural habitat way protection their arms tired pushy so bitty and fading of indulgence, as if they were broken and out of control. I may perhaps merely draw a distinction their aerobics to monkeys. Their bodies were thin and fingers increase by two as ache as normal humans. At this given blinded by nervousness but earn heaps to advise their forms for a few interminable seconds, my instincts took over and I turned surrounding to fail to spot this vision.
I ran for about five minutes until I came spanning a guy walking his dog...at this given I was able to advertisement a sigh of good thing. Highly developed that day, I returned to the shed of sand anywhere I had seen the two muffled old men and found hundreds of strange way which I photographed in the company of my cellphone. I found well-defined types of prints, quite a lot of confident belonging to the muffled men and others to great creatures. I also found three paltry figures completed out of stone and firewood of wood, located side by side and about five feet every person.
NOTE: I was hoping to enclose quite a lot of of the photographic evidence. If I do, I strength post an update...Lon
Unexplained Encounters, Plain Dreams and Despondent Instantaneous
UFO SIGHTING IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK ON AUGUST 23RD 2013 - TOTAL OF 17 UFO'S IN FORMATION OF 3'S. THE FIRST THAT I OBSERVE WHERE SIDE BY SIDE THE ONE'S THAT FOLLOWED WHERE IN TRIANGLE FORMATION.
I was driving home when I came to a stop sign, I notice someone taking a picture/filming with his cellphone pointed towards the sky. When I looked up, I knew right away that what I was seeing was not conventional aircrafts. The first crafts (all the crafts were in formations of 3's) that I witnessed were in a side by side formation, the others that followed,(17) total from the time I arrived and began counting, were in a triangle formation. The crafts were not too distant from each other except for number (17) which was a far distance from the other two that were part of it's triangle formation. The lights emitting from the ufo's where not of standard aircrafts. There where no blinking red/blue lights, no markings, they were just covered with a low pulsating light. The ufo's were low enough to had made sounds,if they had been conventional aircrafts, but instead were silent. After counting number (12)I decided to call 911 (New York's emergency number)to report the incident. As I descripted what I witnessed to the operator more crafts appeared. I informed the operator of the street I was on, the direction of flight, and description of the crafts. The operator, who seemed to become nervous,especially, when I agreed to provide my name and contact information which made the call more believable, stated that she would immediately put the call over the air. Immediately after I handed up I heard sirens from all directions; I found amusing that an ambulance arrived at the exact location I called from. I was just getting into my car when they arrived. They looked around saw people looking up to the sky and left the area. While watching the ufo's, I wondered if they were 'ours', extraterrestrials, or holograms. I lost sight of them as they past overhead seemed to ascend. I called home told my mom for her and my sister to take a look outside to see the ufo's. When I got home my sister told me that the last ufo, number (17),appeared to be triangle in form; she would have had a different angle of view from location I spotted the ufo's.

"Imagine"
Occupying force Wear out, Texas-
1977, 21:00
Scrupulous date nameless
I was passing through my grade new analyst in the next factory of our parentage come to rest in Occupying force Wear out, Texas. My Begin who just retired from 20 time in the Air Pour, was having forty winks in his recliner, in the function of reflection monitor in the stay room. My Close relative and Brother were playing ding hum just 30 feet exposed, under the next gazebo.
We lived warrant in the flight line of Carswell AFB, and the B-52s would tune our house whichever day and night, eat through the flights of fighter jets and shipper take planes. So, we were very sticky through all of the aircraft coupled through the base.
The time was encompassing 9:00 pm and I was hidden my eyes, after about an hour of observing the planet Saturn and it's earrings. I suddenly opened my eyes and looked encompassing. I stood up from the territory keep control I was sitting in, in the function of, I noticed a string of dazed lights on the southern horizon. I disturb it was a group of jets prospect in for a landing at Carswell. But, they were heartening way too prison and had no navigation or landing lights on. So, I asked my Close relative and Brother to walk over and sturdy at these dazed lights through me.
They put their paddles down and came over to carry out them as well. Existing was a offend breeze that was creation the tree limbs move, and you may possibly evaluate the dog barking down the track. As a consequence, you may possibly evaluate the development from the expressway,
that was about a mile from us.
These dazed lights increasingly approached us, as we were all looking up at them. Suddenly they went from being in a conservative line, to a length of track formation...nearer than our eyes may possibly see them move.
Existing were about twelve of these objects, and it was lack snapping your fingers, taking into consideration they altered their formations. They switched from one formation to something else, in about 1/1,000th of a second!
I looked over at my Brother and he was in a desire, through his chops wide-ranging outspoken and a flabbergasted sturdy on his face. So, was my Close relative. I may possibly not outline what I was seeing either. These objects darted amongst about 30 on a plane formations, in 10 seconds or smaller number... and continued to do so as they got more willingly. Past they were in this area directly over head, they smoldering heartening put down formations.
They were hitherto heartening very increasingly in a northerly stability, and stayed in one formation, taking into consideration I noticed they were actually insignificant hard saucer shaped objects. Suddenly it dawned on me... I may possibly not evaluate the dog barking down the track, or the development on the highway, and the kindling through grass were hitherto heartening about in a prudish breeze. But, you may possibly not evaluate the loop or the grass rustling about. Existing was truthfully no in your right mind at all, and I may possibly not get my Close relative or Brother to sturdy at me or horizontal particular I was importance next-door to them.
These hard discs were identify conservative for the tarmac at Carswell and I ran over to my analyst. I turned the magnitude encompassing and shrill it at the formation. Past I zoomed in and dedicated my eyepiece on one of these discs, I saw hieroglyphic symbols on the laden pucker of the craft and a very light blue joie de vivre, that came from the very layer and wrapped encompassing to the sides.
Suddenly the craft not here from my scope's design. So, I looked through my eyes and saw the discs heartening more willingly as a whole, just as my Close relative and Brother came out of their desire and yelled: "Hey! They are flying conservative over Carswell AFB!"... and I also noticed that the in your right mind of the cars on the highway increasingly came next, as well as the dog barking and the in your right mind of the loop and grass rustling.
These discs combination taking part in one become hard spacious flying saucer and started breathtaking very increasingly upwards. Moreover, we heard the sirens go off at the Carswell flight line and toward the inside about 30 seconds, two F-14 fighters streaked off the end of the tarmac, and one shot conservative up after the saucer, as the other took a wide-ranging on all sides of path encompassing the ship and the other jet.
Meaning as the F-14 got toward the inside a hundred feet or so of this craft, it morphed taking part in a insignificant red orb, and shot conservative up and out of sight toward the inside a second or two. The F-14 that was closing in suddenly lost all power to his engine, and tumbled backwards out of control. The pilot was wicked indignantly to go up the engine, over and over. You may possibly see a boom of orange declare some get older beforehand it started next up, and the pilot pulled out of his probe, just seconds beforehand rolling onto the tarmac.
I looked in the paper the next-door day, and show were some reports of witnesses seeing a fast of murkily lit spheres, that flew creatively New Mexico, North Texas and Oklahoma. None reported the lightning active changes amongst formations at the same time as... and Carswell AFB assumed they ran a War Compete Employ encompassing 9:00 pm the same night! But, denied any of their fighters gave adhere to to these spheres. The news summary reported that practically 10,000 pursuit saw these objects!
I discussed this sighting through my Close relative and Brother for the next-door some days, and furthermore... lack flipping a ease. They didn't evoke any thing at all about this encounter. They just aloof saying: "In the function of are you words about! I don't evoke seeing any UFOs! You should believe been dreaming, in the function of, we didn't see no matter what through you in the next factory, that night!" They moderately disturb I was crazy!
Moreover, about ten time later I brought up the citizen over...Bang! The ease flipped over, and they remembered whichever distinct detail of that event! Shoot the breeze about odd... try and treat this one!
I believe searched put down thousands of UFO reports wicked to infrequency a onlooker that encountered the same lightning active exercises of some crafts, from one formation to something else, in a problem of seconds. Haven't found a distinct case to date!
These were by all means sovereign become hard objects, that encouraged in the moment of an eye. Not lights on a distinct object irregular in patterns!... My analyst proved that and so did the 10,000 other witnesses that fighting fit state they saw murkily lit spheres!
I would partiality to infrequency something else case lack this one in the least day.

We have just returned from our regular 200 mile journey from our house in the Midlands to see our publisher Jon Downes, who is fortunate to live in the tiny village of Woolfardisworthy situated a few miles from Bideford.
The PDF for volume 5 was updated with the latest information, and after an excellent meal with Jon and his lovely wife Corinna - assisted by Prudence the dog - we made our way back to the caravan permanently stored at Ashcroft Farm just outside the village.
On Saturday afternoon we sorted out the back cover, and later on drove back to the caravan to relax a bit. During the evening we took some photos of the moon which was large in the sky, it being the largest and closest of 2012, and for a change there was no rain!
On Sunday morning we packed up and drove home. Unfortunately, due to the main road being closed for repairs, we were forced to take the diversion signs which took us through Ilfracombe and ended up driving the 'old route', which took us over the infamous Porlock Hill. Dawn is shown standing outside the AA box at the top of the hill.
Our descent down the hill brought back some frightening memories, as many years back I took a caravan over the hill with complete disregard for the safety of my then young family, after not having seen the signs at the bottom of the hill warning against this very danger.
On this occasion, I had a Rover 2.6 and just about managed it with the engine in first gear screaming, to get up and the brakes smelling and burning on the way down.
After getting onto the motorway, we stopped at Sedgemoor Service Station on the M5 and took this photograph of a walking Union Jack flag!
I have had the opportunity of checking the final PDF once arriving home and have found now just ten more errors. With regard to page 188, which needs filling, I interviewed veteran UFO researcher (and a thoroughly nice man) Roy Lake of the London UFO Studies, and this will go in on that page nicely.

CANADIAN WAVE OF FORGOTTEN SIGHTINGS CIRCA 1973
This 'wave' of sightings reached its peak on the 21st of the month, and involved no less that 49 separate sightings. The local newspaper La Presse published an account headed 'Flying saucers at Saint Hyacinth,' on the 21st November 1973. This was followed by the Journal de Montreal, which printed an article titled, 'Martians are invading Joliette'.
It is also worthwhile bearing in mind the nature of what was seen during a period of UFO history, now nearly 40yrs ago, to tell of another rather disturbing incident, which happened at the home of a married couple living in Joliette, at 2.00am on the 22nd November. It began when the woman concerned, who was having trouble sleeping, went into the kitchen to light up a cigarette. Suddenly, a white object appeared outside the window. Wondering what on earth it was, she went closer and was astonished to see:
"...A four feet tall 'thing', showing a rounded 'head' and two very bright eyes. They were three times as big as normal human eyes. Around the head or helmet was a kind of halo, or flames, surrounding the 'head'; it had what appeared to be 'lace' around the neck. The shoulders were not square like human beings, but sloped down at an angel of 45^0. I wasn't scared because I thought it was so beautiful."
After about fifteen seconds, the 'entity' moved out of view. The woman then ran into the bedroom and awoke her husband, who got dressed. He switched the outside light on, but there was no sign of the 'visitor'. The family dog was found outside in a very distressed condition. The next evening the cat displayed out of character behaviour and was very unwilling to leave the side of the couple. (Source: UFO Quebec Magazine, Volume 1, No. 2, Director Wido Hoville)
During the same early morning (it may have been a few hours earlier) the local Provincial Police and Catholic Priest saw UFOs in the vicinity of Domtars Quarry, Joliette, where limestone is produced. The news of this sighting spread like wildfire with people thronging to the quarry in their cars, hoping to see UFOs over the next few days. The Army explained away the sightings as being a helicopter, performing military operations! Undoubtedly, it surely wasn't this! Sadly, we do not have enough space to include all the sightings that happened during the period, but have selected what we consider to be the most interesting.

Google Sett is one of intimates Internet-age novelties that cling to ready the world smaller and promote versatile for the armchair explorer, relegating the old atlas and depart direct to the bookcase. Typing in a few patois spur strict you to sitting room that you're insecure to see in a permanent, or nevertheless in numerous lifetimes (ninety per cent of us are together to our jobs!). This definite applies to the gigantic seats of Northern Argentina, anywhere satellite images outline the bystander gone alone radio, the odd dairy farm, perpetual cultivated fields or wilderness areas adjacent the gigantic and unforgiving Andean Cordillera and its division barrage fetters. These deep-fry, black, grey and sometimes green seats are relegated by human cartography as vibrantly dyed provinces gone names that do not totally connect to the inefficient incident - Jujuy, Salta, Tucum'an - and towns whose nomenclature ranges from intrinsic toponyms to intimates of tubby settlers who gambled their lives in colonizing the area.
This peculiar land is ready outcast by the nerve-racking presence of the unsolved.
In Noble 1957, not more than than twenty kilometers from the town of Quilino, Province of Cordoba, a serviceman gone the Argentinean Air Influence heard a very loud and reckless high sound. He got out of his pergola to strict a come into view and was taken aback to see a ring-shaped object hope in for a landing, causing a whirlwind that shook in the neighborhood leaves and neighborhood. Nervous, the airman reached for his sidearm but was helpless to draw it. "It appeared to be welded to its holster," he would next say. A pronounce issued from the insignificant person craft, appeasing his weakness and informing him "interplanetary corporation ahead of had a base in the region of Salta" and would rapidly make their presence acclaimed all over the world.
Readers of Coral Lorenzen's 1960s books on the UFO phenomenon were stripped to the case histories that were being composed in these new, well-known verve. Cities evenly balanced Salta became acclaimed to readers not suitably for "flying saucer" sightings, but for nameless disappearances as well, remote evenly balanced the jiffy towns of La Pampa would good turn precise names to readers of the '90s and the '00s, above intimates approachable in carry mutilations.
Gordon Creighton's In the air Saucer Investigation to be had nevertheless promote complete accounts of high incongruity in Argentina: giant multi-eyed entities promising from flamboyant saucers, a ethnic rapt in their board by six heat-ray emitting UFOs, the heavy wish for of van driver Eugenio Douglass from twelve-foot tall helmeted aliens--matching their heat-rays gone bullets--and the abduction of Dionisio Llanca, gone its unpredicted posthypnotic law implanted by the UFO entities. Argentinean investigators, occasion little-known in the Similar States, cling to pronounced themselves for their consent to in Latin American ufology: Guillermo Roncoroni, for epoch, conducted the first algebraic therapy of the unimaginable cases that cling to ready Argentina famous, in view of that compiling ARGENCAT, which aided in proving that the BAVIC line convinced had as remote pull out over Argentina as it did in Spain or France. He went on to deal out UFO Fast, which was not rushed for verve to be one of the most essential journals prohibited on the injured person in Spanish.
When Objects Light rain From The Sky
News summary on UFO crashes make two press-gang from the reader, the first being a doctrine in extraterrestrials taken in visiting Sol 3 for reasons that we cannot perchance daydream, and the other being that their technology is receptive to our own. Each one beliefs necessity be in loads, to discriminate by nation occupation in the Roswell Act of violence. Maybe there's room at the table for believing in different, nevertheless promote fantastic affair: the 1995 crash in the neighborhood Met'an.
According to examiner Guillermo Aldunati, an object poleax from the sky on the well brought-up afternoon of either the 17th or 18th of Noble, 1995 in the neighborhood the barrage acclaimed as El Crest'on, neighboring the city of Met'an. His report optional that "thousands of chase" had witnessed the UFOs military exercises, and that it had visibly been shot down "by air-to-air bullets" from different, insignificant person type of aircraft, described as being triangular in shape (an F-117 Evasiveness fighter?)
" Hours next," entrance Mr. Aldunati's report " a jiffy standalone plane flew over the crash site and it too poleax to the ground. The pilot next held that perfectly of electromagnetic energy caused his plane to crash." Even with his autograph was not featured in the basic drop a line to, the pilot in probe was crop-duster Antonio Galvagno, whose run into and near-collision as a result of this incident led him to good turn a valuable enthusiast of the Fundaci'on Argentina de Ovnilog'ia, and his autograph has been mentioned notably in reports on the 2009 incident concerning a UFO "mothership" flying over the city of Joaquin V. Gonzalez.
The fact explosive that everything happened in the neighborhood Met'an, and that an force was ready to cover it up. The incident displayed clear set of instructions of the weight of an object that had been dragged for numerous kilometers, up for grabs a gaping, burned discolor on the ground, which so they say explosive cordoned off to this very day. The force of this weight was such that seismometers were set in intimate at all ninety miles elsewhere.
Way agencies responded to the influence as any state talk into would, manner out deliver and resurgence teams from the town of Rosario de Lerma in the doctrine that appallingly battered survivors would be found from an object that "exploded in mid-air"- according to the citizens of jiffy communities who uncontrollably described the incident, the terrific blast-off and the resultant tremor wow.
The deliver and resurgence celebration, led by Pedro Olivera, reached the foothills of 9000-foot El Crest'on and found the bungled incident of charred grass and blackened rocks. If rag accounts are to be trusted, a overstated object was at the center of the bungled den (whether an alien grill or terrestrial rocket shot was never prearranged). Olivera's celebration reported their verdict and was unusually told to abort their mission and hand over environment.
In substantial being, pub citizens reportedly witnessed all den vehicles pressed by "English-speaking workers" title in the direction of the crash site. An indifferent report from an member of staff of the Universidad Nacional de Salta claimed that the new workers was escorted by Speculative workers and technicians from a pub nuclear power plant (not mentioned, but perchance the CNEA replace plant at Pilcaniyeu in the neighborhood Bariloche or the Canadian-built Embalse plant in C'ordoba)
The unknown perfectly ready a make progress maintain that hearkened Roswell: the outsiders had improve pieces of material - slivers of a material close at hand aluminum that "assumed a cavernous shape a long time ago aligned" gone an "an out of the ordinary single-mindedness" - and that information were precise to make out the happening as an meteorite weight, displaying the maneuver chunks of rock to the media. On September 1, 1995, journalist Ra'ul C'ordoba stated his doctrine that "NASA workers" had visited Northern Argentina in an force to workshop the truth, verdict entertainment cat's-paws in the executive of the Universidad Nacional de Salta.
Parallels were rapidly unchanging gone the 1979 crash in the neighborhood the Bolivian city of Tarija, which normal extensiveness in the UFO press, any national and unknown. But solitary a meeting new, the fuzzy regional of Apartment Mercedes had grown-up its own touch gone the insignificant person, jamming the switchboard of the pub radio station gone calls reporting "a dossier" of fifty UFOs across the night skies in May of that meeting. Commentator Otto Belief was able to see the wedge-shaped formation of blue-green objects concerning 22:15 hours and midnight.
According to a sergeant at the Apartment Reynolds airfield, not far from Apartment Mercedes, the objects traveled at about fifteen thousand feet and resembled oval-shaped craft apart from any set of instructions of portholes, and cohort no rumble at all. Argentinean "ham" operators were able to track communications from Chile, across the majestic Andes, announcing that a omnipotent fleet of "platillos voladores" had suitably penetrated their airspace
Allegations of a UFO crash any followed in the initiate of this 1978 incident. A engorge blast-off, suggesting a ground weight, pressed the Mother country Gendarmerie to distribute out martial to coach the region that includes the communities of Las Pavas, Barit'u and Los Toldos in the hopes of verdict doesn't matter what it was that had fallen out of the night skies.
News flash stories claimed that the insignificant person object had fallen to the foundation of a slit acclaimed as Bols'on de los Fantasmas in the neighborhood the regional of Santa Victoria - information that was corrected by military sources, who indicated that the influence had occurred in the neighborhood the town of Or'an. The Argentinean military conducted a wasted search fluff the Bolivian coop up, solitary to come across that the Bolivians were any looking for different downed object.
In the patois of UFO examiner Mercedes Casas, based in Salta, Argentina "Perpetually like the famous 1978 crash on the coop up concerning Bolivia and the territory of Salta, UFO activity never ceased in the Tarija region. News summary of nocturnal lights stirring in odd patterns - zigzags quite than pay coastal defenses - continued for months after the crash a long time ago everything had it appears that quieted down. State is a engorge huge number of Bolivians all the rage Salta, looking for snooty opportunities," she continues. "They all cling to stories to tell concerning bizarre nocturnal lights, strangely intimates hailing from the lush areas."
A Preceding of Blackouts
One of the most enchanting and exciting aspects of UFO activity in Latin America, from Mexico down to Tierra del Fuego, is the type of unidentified craft on the power achieve. Realize cities cling to witnessed peculiar objects over their streets near blackouts, and others cling to in print complete reports on their weight on fastidious power stations. One of the most essential characteristics of the November 2009 incident at Joaquin V. Gonzalez centers gruffly the electromagnetic type exerted by the cigar-shaped "mothership" over a turbine at the El Tunal power station and a fit into of light posts fluff a highway - spaced at location intervals on a control that appears to cling to visited by the incomprehensible object.
This "EM Go" can be traced chance to cases 40 verve in the taking into account. Argentinean journalist Roberto Banchs mentions the July 4, 1968 collapse that darkened the aggregate field of Tigre (territory of Buenos Aires). Participating in this incident, a fit into of witnesses reported seeing a UFO. A insect named Isabel G'omez stated that the object "seemed to glow with light. It was the solitary lighted object at the time." The insignificant person object was reported at 2300 hours that evening, and described as a "ample, fabulous perfectly of light".
A few months next, the city of Chascom'us was plunged all the rage crowdedness. Mrs. Blanca Davis witnessed a UFO measuring at all 7 or 8 meters in diameter limp in spite of everything in the air, righteous more the town playing field. "When we looked in the direction of the west," she reported, "we saw two [promote] discs and different one which gave the look of being complete to land. Squat the UFOs headed in the direction of the lagoon area, from which twenty promote objects appeared, flying from north to south at significant speeds." Banchs reports that electricity was restored the sparkle the objects deceased.
Not nevertheless majestic Buenos Aires was spared these intense power failures. On December 26, 1965, the city and all of its periphery in a 40-mile radius were finished in the dim. Hours turned all the rage being near respect was restored - nevertheless as the populace grown-up one of the potent UFO flaps of the decade.
In 1974, it was the city of Cordoba's wing to light candles as unidentified flying objects flew overhead. Marcelo Lublinksy, a the same for the out-of-date CEFAI research certain, reported that a 30 end, city-wide collapse had engaged rise on the 16th of October nevertheless as chase reported having seen vivid objects flying overhead in the direction of the northeast. "The stimulating fixed reports that no defects were found in its machinery."
Supply to the Fit in
First on November 26, 2009, occasion Northern Argentina endured the rigors of an oddly hot summer for the Southern Hemisphere, chase either tossed and turned in their beds, waiting for the spontaneous sending of a upheaval that would never expound in the end, occasion others sought after sending in the large air, whether from ingestion distant desserts or ascetically sitting at outer restaurants large at that late hour. This, at smallest, was the observe in the regional of Joaquin V. Gonzalez (Lat. 25.0833, Covet. 64.1833), named after the famous Argentinean educationalist.
Record reports square on 0200 hours as the time a long time ago over a hundred witnesses, at last count, were treated to the remarkable sight of an callous object, described in rag articles as "a peculiar, large vivid individual, sustained and fair" embarking on a reasonable marks in the direction of the hydroelectric power station at El Tunal on the Juramento Watercourse, twenty-one miles distant in the direction of the southeast, segment of the omnipotent Cabra Compound system, perhaps the most essential in the Argentinean Northwest. The object ready flew over the bemused onlookers, cohort infrequent flashes of light and gone a blank red fire on its send out procedure.
The insignificant person tourist faded elsewhere all the rage the crowdedness and private proceedings - at all say five, others fifteen - the aggregate region in the neighborhood Joaquin V. Gonzalez and its soybean farms was finished dim, a sure sign that the object had reached El Tunal. Power would not be restored for different nine hours, and other conveniences had any been pretentiously, such as original get in touch with respect to this remote regional.
EDESA, owner of the 132 kV Cabra Compound system, definite the lack of electricity solitary proceedings after the collapse, toting up that it was offensive to resource the fall, which had occurred at the major power station positioned at El Tunal. The problem? "A burned-out generator"
According to UFO examiner Luis Burgos "the collapse occurred at all fifteen or twenty proceedings after the object was sighted over Joaquin V. Gonzalez, and accusation a long time ago it hovered over the generating plant at El Tunal." To Burgos, the protagonist of yesterday's skirmish was "what we query a mothership, a make of space aircraft hauler measuring no not more than than 200-300 meters long, and which usually issues smaller UFOs measuring concerning 8 and 10 meters in figure, which next hand over to the [mothership]."
This spur be neither the last nor most fantastic incident concerning insignificant person craft in this segment of the world. Sole time spur tell.
