Quote from the article:
“Previously, in Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 of this
series, I highlighted a number of occasions, during the 1970’s, where the US
military’s OPREP–3 reporting system has been used to alert top–level military
commands and components of provocative UFO activity near military bases. In
Part 4, I highlighted a category of OPREP–3 reporting which was specifically
designed for the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) and Aerospace
Defence Command (ADCOM), to report general unknown radar tracks, and, ‘Unidentified
Flying Objects – UFOs.’ In Part 5, I moved on from the actual OPREP–3 reporting
of UFOs, and into the fallout that some of these post–Project Blue Book UFO
events caused within the US military and intelligence community. In summary,
what started out as a brief appraisal of the OPREP–3 reporting system,
specifically in relation to apparent UFO incidents, has morphed into a wider
study of declassified documents which deal with UFO case investigation,
evaluation and high level concern long after the US government relieved itself,
publicly, of the UFO headache.
In this Part 6, I will continue my study, this time
focusing on records released by the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) and the
National Military Command Center (NMCC) in relation to a series of possible UFO
events over Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana. These events, which occurred in
November, 1975, followed similar aerial intrusions over Wurthsmith AFB,
Michigan, Loring AFB, Maine, and Falconbridge AFS in Ontario, Canada. Minot AFB
in North Dakota, and other bases were likewise affected by unidentified
activity during the same period. Most of these bases were assigned to the
United States Air Force’s (USAF) Strategic Air Command (SAC), and, had nuclear
weapons. This unusual chapter in UFO history only came to light after
researchers Barry Greenwood, Robert Todd, Lawrence Fawcett and Todd Zechel used
the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to obtain pertinent records from military
agencies and commands.”
