7 November 1966 (The Victoria
Advocate, Texas)
Captain Louis Fontenot, the
captain at Morgan’s Point, and three other persons sighted a metallic, cylindrical
shaped UFO that moved across the sky over La Porte, Texas on 6 November 1966,
at around 8:45 a.m., according to the article:
Quote from the article:
“Fontenot said all four
observed it through 50-power binoculars and agreed that it was shaped like a ‘big
rocket or cigar with two fins at the very bottom.’
The sighting was reported to
the air police section at Ellington Air Force Base, which refused comment on
the report.
Fontenot said he and his
friends saw a jet fighter turn over La Porte and follow the object’s path a few
minutes after the report was phoned in.
Fontenot said the binocular
view of the object showed ‘either writing or windows,’ adding, ‘four of us saw
the same darn thing, and it’s hard to say we didn’t see it. We don’t know what
we saw.’ ”
