29 March 1966
(Lodi News-Sentinel, California)
The article reports on the many UFO incidents that
were witnessed in the United States in March 1966.
Several of the UFO incidents were observed by police
officers.
Quote from the article:
“Macomb County Patrolman Kenneth Stephens said he and
another officer saw strangely moving intense white lights in the sky. He said
the lights fell swiftly, veered into a swampy area and vanished.
Police officers in six North Carolina towns saw an
object streak from east to west. Newton police officer Melvin Barlowe said it
looked like ‘a big blue bolt of fire with fire arching off the edges.’
‘We don’t have anything around here that could catch
it,’ he said. ‘No swamp gas or nothing like that could move that fast.’
State Trooper John Rashke told his superiors he
watched two ‘egg-shaped objects of orange color with a bright glow in the
center’ spinning through the sky near Valparaiso, Ind., Sunday night.”
NOTE: The newspaper date is 29 March 1966.
The article is the same UPI article I reported on in 2013:
