Quote from the report:
“2017 marks the 60th anniversary of the wave of 1957.
This is an extensive report on an on-going project involving a number of
people. I would not have been able to do this without the help of Rebecca Wise
(Project Blue Book Archive), Dan Wilson (archive case researcher), Jean
Waskiewicz (NICAP Database), Brad Sparks (Comprehensive Catalog of Project Blue
Book Unknowns), Barry Greenwood (newspaper
clippings), Mark Rodegher (‘UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference’ [441
Cases], Loren Gross (UFOS A History), and Joan Woodward (Animal Reaction
Database).
A major sighting wave year, 1957 is best-known for the
Levelland, Texas sightings which began on Nov. 2. However, the key cases are
the IFF electronic signaling and radar-emitting UFO cases such as RB-47 (July
17) and several others within a week or two before and after, the radioactivity
case at Montville, Ohio (Nov. 6) and the nuclear weapons storage area case at
Kirtland AFB, New Mexico (Nov 4), all cases of supreme scientific value. Prior
to the wave flap, the Sept 20, 1957 radar tracking caused a White House and top
intelligence alert. A very important year in UFOlogical history. Throughout
this summary are posted key reports from the highly-acclaimed publication, ‘UFOs
& Government.’ ”
NICAP.org also presents fourteen binders of newspaper
clippings from 1957 on this web page!
I first reported about the UFO report on 8 July 2011.
