The whole UFO case report:
“Francis Ridge:
UFOs have been seen where uranium and plutonium are
mined and manufactured, where bomb
development takes place, and where the bombs are stored, such as Killeen Base.
Even where the bombs are transported to the testing areas (USS Curtiss). Surprisingly,
the Camp Hood/Killeen incidents are even listed in the Project Blue Book ‘Unknowns’
(case 319).
Brad Sparks:
7:52 p.m. Capt. Horace McCulloch, Asst. G-2 of the 2nd
Armored Division at the nuclear weapons storage site, was preparing the test
firing of flares in order to prove recent sightings were mistakes when he and
his men themselves saw aerial phenomena, 7 separate sightings by trained
artillery observers in different locations enabled rapid triangulation of
large, green, red and white flare-like objects flying in generally straight
lines. (FOIA)
Loren Gross:
After becoming a true bomb factory, Sandia (Base)
shipped assembled bombs to Fort Hood, Texas, where there was a secure storage
site guarded by the 12th Armored Infantry Battalion under the command of the
Fourth Army...due to the difficulties previously mentioned (NCP-01 - Loren
Gross), it wasn’t until the spring of 1949 that the U.S. manufactured enough
bombs to have a ‘stockpile.’ It is suggested that the ‘green fireballs’ that
appeared over Sandia in late 1948 bear a direct relationship to a sudden
ramp-up of American nuclear weapon production. Also, later, in March,1949, when
strange ‘flares’ appeared around the ‘Q’ area at Fort Hood, it is suggested
that this interest by the UFOs was triggered by the recent arrival of the first
shipment of atomic bombs which was stored as America’s first nuclear bomb
stockpile.”
