July 6, 1966; Fairpoint ,
South Dakota (BB)
At 8:45 p.m. MST, observers including Airman William
D. Offord saw a red object just above the horizon to the west. This object
disappeared below the horizon. The observers moved to another position where
they saw the red object again. Over the next hour and a half five distinct
objects the apparent size of a quarter, a nickel and three objects the size of
a dime held at arm’s length were observed. The first sighting was called into
the Golf One Launch Control Facility of the Minuteman missile complex, Ellsworth
AFB, South Dakota .
Here Airmen Calenberg, Langerud and Delapp, spotted the objects to the west of
Golf One. The quarter size object led by nickel size while dime sizes skittered
erratically around the horizon and mountain tops in distance and returned to
the quarter size and nickel size objects which stayed on a fairly stable slow
moving course ENE. The objects were viewed from two separate locations one to
the west of the objects and one to the east. The quarter size object resembled
an oblong saucer emitting pulsating flashes and rays of white and green light.
The nickel size resembled a steady red light. The dime sizes darted erratically
away from the quarter size and returned. Air Force Helicopter 481 was
dispatched from Ellsworth AFB with the Base Commander and a photographer
onboard.”
