UFO News Article: “UFOs on radar denied”

18 November 1975

(Bangor Daily News, Maine)

Quote from the article:

“Lt. Robert Barca, assistant information officer said his office was not too sure where the information came from, but a recheck showed Loring’s radar screen did not track ‘the thing’ seen by several observers in the area before dawn Sunday.

Loring’s information officer, Maj. Richard F. Quimby, had said Sunday that a radar screen at the base had tracked ‘the thing,’ which was spotted and described Sunday by Caribou police, sheriff’s deputies, a U.S. Customs official in Limestone and a Royal Canadian Mounted Police constable.

‘Something must have been misconstrued,’ Barca said Monday. ‘We did some rechecking and we can’t find anyone who spotted it on radar.’ ”

UFO Case Directory: “Category 3, E-M (Electro-Magnetic) Case – UFO Stops Train – Oct. 20, 1973 – 6-7 mi. East of Mt. Vernon, Indiana”

By Francis Ridge

(NICAP.org)

Quote from the UFO case report:

“Fran Ridge:

Oct. 20, 1973; Mt. Vernon, Indiana

6:50 a.m. The primary witness was a conductor on a L&N train that had an encounter with a UFO. Mt. Vernon, is a little town 15 miles west of the city of Evansville. They had passed through Mt. Vernon and were headed east nearing the Lamont crossing, which is about 2-miles west of the outskirts of Evansville. A nocturnal light incident had preceded this close encounter. When they neared Caborn (6-7 miles east of Mt. Vernon), the conductor told the rear conductors by intercom that they had seen a real bright light behind them. When they got near St. Phillips, the rear conductor reported that there now was a train following them, on the same track, and the RR blocking system showed something approaching them. As they approached a steep hill at the Lamont Crossing, one of the diesel engine units overheated and the train was immobilized. When the object behind the train backed away, the blocking system showed the object retreating. The diesel unit was now restarted and the train, loaded down with coal, made it up the hill and on into Evansville. See full report. (UFO Filter Center, FI Francis Ridge, MUFON SSD).”
