The whole UFO case report:
“Francis Ridge:
In 1998 I established the Nuclear Connection Project
and this was one of over 200 incidents we discovered. It had been investigated
by Robert Hastings and Dan Wilson. Many historical documents were located and
some of the witnesses have been interrogated. Larry Hatch (NCP member) provided
the printout:
#057 DEFENSE NUCLEAR AGENCY docm# DNA 6035F:
Castle Series Nuclear Weapons Tests. pp 64+274+341
c/o Daniel Wilson, 15 Parkview Dr., Painesville,OH 44077
Castle Series Nuclear Weapons Tests. pp 64+274+341
c/o Daniel Wilson, 15 Parkview Dr., Painesville,OH 44077
In this incident an unidentified luminous object
passed, low and fast, over the ship from bow to stern. The Curtiss (see photo)
was not an aircraft carrier but a airplane tender ship (AV-4) refurbished for
carrying components for nuclear weapons for the upcoming tests at Operation
Castle, at Eniwetak Atol. There were six shots. The crews of the Bairoko,
Estes, PC 1546, Phillip, and other ships at Operation Castle were caught in the
heavy fallout of the runaway thermonuclear detonation of Bravo. These once
secret documents prove an exposure to radiation far in excess of that allowed
for other JTF 7 personnel.
From Table 60, operational activities during the CASTLE test series, CASTLE SERIES, DNA 6035F , 1 April 1982. Page 341 is from the logbook of the
USS CURTISS, Shot KOON 7 Apr 1954.
‘Steamed independently in operating area BG 28-36-1.’
‘At 1138 anchored berth N-6, Bikini; at 1948 left
berth en route to Enewetak at 2305 an unidentified luminous object passed over
ship from bow to stern, yellowish-orange in color, traveling at a high rate of
speed and a low altitude.’
Captain Edward Ruppelt:
Some people in the Pentagon had the idea that there
were beings, earthly or otherwise, who might be interested in our activities in
the Pacific, as they seemed to be in Operation Mainbrace. Consequently Project
Blue Book had been directed to get transportation to the test area to set up a
reporting net, brief people on how to report, and analyze their reports on the
spot.
Francis Ridge:
If that’s not enough, there is even more reason to
believe that the U.S. Government knew that UFOs might appear at Operation
Castle in the spring of 1954. One 1004-page document attests to this on pages
555 and 556. from Ref. 1 below. CIRVIS reporting and JANAP 146 are mentioned.
These are also mentioned in another document on Page 59 of 65 under Paragraph
3., Simulated Combat Training, in Ref. 2 below) and includes mention of AF
Letter 200-5. Copies of those regulations are on the NICAP site: AF Letter
200-5 and JANAP 146.”
