UFO News Article:
“Authorities Sight UFOs In 2 States”


11 October 1966
(Deseret News, Salt Lake City, Utah)

The whole article:
“Authorities in two widely separated areas—New Jersey and South Dakota—Monday night (10 October 1966) reported sightings of unidentified flying objects. The incidents were apparently unrelated.

Two UFOs were reported sighted in the Fort Thompson, S.C. (my correction: South Dakota), area, both resembling ‘lighted merry-go-rounds.’ The first sighting was reported by Kanabec rancher Roger Huston about 9 p.m. CST. He said a bluish-colored light appeared to be hanging over the Crow Creek Indian Reservation community of Fort Thompson.

This sighting was later corroborated by motor patrolman Patrick Gribbin, Sheriff Lee Roberts and game warden Floyd Gaarder of Presho, all of whom drove into the country to view the lights.

The first object slowly faded from an overhead position to an easterly direction, and two hours later Fort Thompson police said it had brightened and was joined by another object in the sky. The lights on the second object seemed to rotate, witnesses said, changing from red to green to yellow, while the original object went from white to bluish-green to red.

Hundreds of miles to the east, at Wanaque, N.J., at least five persons—three of them policemen—reported sighting UFOs.”

On 22 November 2011, I also reported on this United Press International article. The Press-Courier titled the (more elaborate) article “Unrelated UFO sightings reported.”
