WREG-TV reports on the two UFO sightings of Lamar
Todd,
a Memphis police Captain, who served in the elite TACT
squad.
The UFO sightings occurred in about 1973 and 1977.
Several police officers who stayed to the north of
where Todd was located also saw a UFO (the 1973 incident) at the same time.
The 1977 UFO incident was also witnessed by three
other TACT squad officers.
Quote from the article:
“Lamar Todd isn’t just any UFO observer either, he’s a
Memphis police Captain, who served in the elite TACT squad. His first encounter
came in about 1973, in
South Memphis. He saw a strange light in the sky. ‘I stopped, stepped out of my
car and looked up. I could see the light myself, but there was no helicopter noise ...,’
Todd described. He later learned Memphis Police had grounded its choppers for
the night.
But about that same time, the police radio's crackled
with sightings to the north. ‘advising there are police officers at THP station
observing a Unidentified Flying Object.’ said them dispatcher. ‘It’s trying to
land behind Plough incorporated. It’s flashing red blue and green looks like
it's trying to look for a landing area,’ said an unidentified officer on the
scene at Jackson and Warford.
The sighting faded into memory until 4 years later.
Again, Todd, this time with partner Jerry Jeter see something at night along 240
and Norris. ‘My partner Jerry Jeter took a scoped rifle out of the truck we
were driving, and pointed at it so we could get a better look and the craft
moved off to the north,’ Todd explained.
Three other TACT squad officers saw the same thing
over power lines near the north precinct.”
