Fran Ridge:
Captain Edward J. Ruppelt, in his book (‘The Report on
Unidentified Flying Objects’) wrote that it was just a matter of days after the
top secret Estimate of the Situation was signed, sealed, and sent on its way,
that the third big sighting of 1948 took place. This was the famous Fargo, ND
case, one of the cases ‘that ‘proved’ to
ATIC’s intelligence analysts that UFOs were real.’ Small lights in the sky are
easy prey for the skeptics, until one reads the details of the reports. This is
not only unexplained, it’s a good report supporting the existence of a type of
object that has become known as a probes. Documents found recently (see USAF
SIGN3-2 below) state the object detected the approaching F-51 and took evasive
action.

Oct. 1, 1948; Fargo, North Dakota (BBU)
9:00-9:27 p.m. (MST). Air National Guard fighter pilot
Lt. George F. Gorman plus 4 others including 2 CAA tower controllers saw a
small 6-8-inch round white ball of light with a flat, no-depth disc-like
appearance, blinking off and on at slow speed. First spotted by pilot Dr. A. D.
Cannon and passenger Einar Neilson aboard Piper Cub aircraft at 1600 ft AGL, N of Hector
Field moving fast to the W above them at about 250-270 mph, spotted by Gorman
shortly after. Gorman radioed tower and began pursuit at 9:07 p.m. Cannon and
Neilson landed, went up into airport tower and with binoculars watched Lt.
Gorman attempt to chase the light in his F-51 fighter, closest approach less
than 500 ft
distance on his first pass at about 5,000 ft . Gorman climbed to 14,000 ft but stalled out
unable to intercept light at about 16,000 ft . Light made evasive and aggressive
maneuvers, such as seeming to try to ram the F-51, that outperformed the F-51
at a top speed 600+ mph. Light dropped to 11,000 ft , Gorman attempted
to dive on it, light pulled up, rose vertically until it disappeared. 27 mins.

George Gorman:
‘I can tell you this much, because it’s been mentioned
in print. There was thought behind every move the light made. It wasn’t any
radar-responder gadget making it veer away from my ship.’ ”
