UFO News Article:
“ ‘FLYING SAUCERS’ REPORTED SEEN
OVER VILLAGE, PLUNGING INTO SENECA”


27 August 1952
(Express, Watkins Glen, New York)

Source: waterufo.net (the late Carl W. Feindt)
     
The whole article:
“Report of two ‘flying saucers’ over the village was made by Mrs. Marion Granston of 315 N. Glen Ave., Monday morning.

She said that the two saucers were seen at 9:30 just over the ‘top of our elm tree.’

‘They were like big silver balls gliding through the air,’ she added. ‘They were very plain.’

The two ‘balls’ disappeared over Seneca Lake after proceeding eastward, the woman reported.

The woman added that neighborhood children could also plainly see the ‘saucers.’ She identified them as William, Ronald, and Robert Pierce, who lived nearby. They called Mrs. William Pierce, Sr., but she came out too late to see the discs.

The woman, who reported the occurrence to newsmen, was told to call Civil Defense headquarters at the office of Atty. Lafayette Argetsinger, Jr.

Another ‘flying saucer’ was reported to have plunged into Seneca Lake Monday morning [which was the 25th] [25 August 1952].

The incident was reported by three workmen who said the object fell into the lake about 150 feet offshore near Glen Eldridge on the east side of the lake about five miles from the village. They said it splashed water about 8 or 10 feet into the air.

The men, all carpenters, were Ray Andrew, Alfred Sullivan, and Clayton Crout. They told state police that while working near the lake, they saw a ‘bright object like a sheet of steel come through the air.’

‘Suddenly it crashed into the lake,’ they said, ‘and splashed water 8 to 10 feet high.’ In the Tompkins County village of Trumansburg, due northeast of here, several persons reported that they saw five jet planes pursuing a flying saucer.

U.S. Air Force officials at Hancock Field, Syracuse, said that jet planes from the base of the 32nd Air Division Defense here were on maneuvers in the Schuyler County area of Watkins Glen but said they did not know they were chasing flying saucers.

Air Force officials said they would investigate the Seneca Lake
incident. Air spotters in the Schuyler area said they did not sight
anything unusual in the area during the day. This is the first time
that flying saucers have been reported in Schuyler County.”

“3 Carpenters ‘See’ Saucer Dive into Lake”  

27 August 1952
(The Herald, Sharon, Pennsylvania)

Source: waterufo.net (the late Carl W. Feindt)

The whole article:      
“Three carpenters yesterday swore they saw a flying saucer dive into Seneca Lake at Watkins Glen. The carpenters said the saucer flashed ‘like a bright sheet of silver’ across the horizon and then took a nosedive into the lake, kicking up a 10-foot splash. But state police said as far as they are concerned, they are not going to investigate. They pointed out that the lake is 200 feet deep in some places, and they do not intend to waste their time with any grappling operations.”


Wikipedia article: “Seneca Lake (New York)”:


Quote from the Wikipedia article:
Seneca Lake is the largest of the glacial Finger Lakes of the U.S. state of New York, and the deepest lake entirely within the state. It is promoted as being the lake trout capital of the world, and is host of the National Lake Trout Derby. Because of its depth and relative ease of access, the US Navy uses Seneca Lake to perform test and evaluation of equipment ranging from single element transducers to complex sonar arrays and systems.”

U.S. Government UFO Document:
Statement by S/Sgt. Charles C. Boden, USAF,
Great Falls (Montana) Air Force Base


1952 (document not dated)
(Project Blue Book, U.S. Air Force, Washington, D.C.)

Quote from the document (not written in U.S. Department of Defense document format):
“I, [Charles] C. Boden, Jr., S/Sgt, A. 116293186, was coming into the Space Control office at approximately 1520 MST, 29 July 1952 in the afternoon when I heard a report over the squawk box saying that flying saucers were sighted in the vicinity of Seattle headed toward Great Falls. [unintelligible] that was said was ‘Flying saucers reported over the Seattle area headed toward Great Falls’ then it was cut off. M/Sgt. Statesbury, Mrs. Evans, and also Lt. Logan heard the transcription too. [unintelligible] then went out of the office and stood in front of Twin Hangars under the tower and sighted two stationary objects at about 1525 MST. The third one came from the east and west [object changed direction?] toward the first two and departed in the west in a matter of four seconds. The other two followed and departed to the west and I went back into the office.

I sighted another one at 1625 MST coming from the northwest and departed northeast. It appeared that this particular one had a sort of haze around it and it was only in sight for about three of four seconds. Then three more came over at intervals from 1625 to 1648 MST. All that I saw appeared to be a bright white and shape was circular and one that came over, as it disappeared I thought it was flat and appeared to be turning over and spinning around. The ones that were stationary seemed to be dipping, the sun rays reflecting off and on. They left no vapor trail and no sound. The angle of the objects was approximately 80 degrees on the two stationary and the first three that came through at 1525 MST also at 80 degrees, the other seemed to go right over head. The angle of observation of last four was about 80 degrees. I first saw them at 45 degrees and they passed overhead and we lost them at about 45 degree angle in a [unintelligible] of time of 4 seconds. I called the CAA, Gore Field and reported it to [unintelligible] 1540,
immediately after I had sighted the first three objects.”

The Great Falls Air Force Base was renamed Malmstrom Air Force Base on 1 October 1955, according to Wikipedia.

UFO Case Report (E-mail):
“Subject: July 29, 1952; Great Falls AFB, Montana/ Cover-Up, Saucers, Plan 62, 50 Witnesses,
(and later a Movie Film of UFOs).”


By Daniel Wilson, 24 October 2007
(NICAP.org)

Quote from Daniel Wilson’s e-mail:
“The following pdf file contains all of the resized Project Blue Book documents below and is now housed on the NICAP site for security reasons.

docs/520729ennisBB_docs.pdf

The original over-sized docs from the Blue Book site are listed below:

July 29, 1952; Great Falls AFB, Montana 
An attempt of a cover-up seems to have been made here. Sgt. Boden at Great Falls AFB, Mont., heard a transmission from McChord AFB, Seattle, Washington of ‘flying saucers’ hovering there and that the saucers were headed towards Great Falls AFB, Montana. The transmission was over Plan 62 Voice Circuit (remember this from the Mantell case?) [squawk box or Long Horn] Several people heard this transmission which was cut off right after ‘flying saucers’ was mentioned. Later McChord AFB denied making such a transmission. There were about 50 witnesses to this event.

A separate sighting was made at Ennis, Montana, by 12 or more civilians. Movie film was taken here of an incredible sighting--objects forming clouds around themselves--smaller discs coming out of the cloud etc. See twenty-seven (27) Blue Book documents below. Newspaper article included-- transcript below.

Incident began at around 1540 hours MST, July 29, 1952
USAF personnel, alerted that UFO’s were coming from the direction of Seattle, saw 4 flat disc-shaped objects, one hovered 3-4 mins, while the others circled it. The stationary object then flew southeast and the other three objects flew due west and disappeared. The speed of the objects was estimated at over 1,000 mph. Other objects were seen near Great Falls, Montana, up until about 1630 hours.

The USAF personnel that witnessed the UFOs were at the Great Falls Air Force Base, Montana. First notification of the flying objects was heard from the Seattle, Washington area (presumably McChord AFB) over the Plan 62 Voice Circuit of the Transport Control Center, Great Falls AFB. The transmission was cut off suddenly, immediately after the statement regarding ‘flying saucers’ was made. This transmission was heard by a number of individuals. 

S/Sgt Charles Boden, 1701st Traffic Squadron, Great Falls AFB, sighted the objects immediately after this Plan 62 transmission. and called CAA Tower, Gore Field, Great Falls, Montana, who in turn notified a local newspaper, the Great Falls Tribune. A reporter from the Great Falls Tribune contacted S/Sgt Boden, who inadvertently gave the reporter information regarding unidentified flying objects and Plan 62 transmission from the Seattle, Washington area, upon which the release in the Great Falls Tribune was based on. At approximately 2200 hours MST S/Sgt Boden received a call from an individual who identified himself as PIO Officer, McChord AFB, who denied any transmission or reception of any statement regarding ‘flying saucers’. The UFOs were seen by an estimated 50 persons including officers, airmen, and civilians.”

Daniel Wilson also presents U.S. government (Project Blue Book, U.S. Air Force) documents that pertain to the UFO case.

I also reported about this e-mail on 12 November 2012.

The Great Falls Air Force Base was renamed Malmstrom Air Force Base on 1 October 1955, according to Wikipedia.
