UFO News Article:
“Eglin Radar Installation Tracks UFO Over I-10”

The whole article:
“An unidentified object was tracked by a Field Three radar unit at Eglin Air Force Base Wednesday night [17 October 1973] during the same time period, and within the same area, that 10 to 15 people observed four strange objects flying in formation between Milton and Crestview on Interstate Highway 10, according to Eglin officials.

An unconfirmed report also revealed that Eglin personnel observed a [phenomenon] during the early Thursday morning hours [18 October 1973] that still has no explanation.

Persons on the base, looking into the sky, observed an Air Force C-130 aircraft traveling through the sky, and beside the aircraft was a bright glowing ball of light, [traveling] parallel with the aircraft, but at a much higher altitude.

According to unofficial reports, no orders have been given, but you can bet your bottom dollar that all Eglin pilots are keeping their eyes open while in the air.

As reports continue, UFO explanations were compounded in the Gulf Coast area by a series of three test rockets launched by Eglin Thursday night. The tests left various colored clouds trailing through the skies, clearly visible to the naked eye.

The rockets were fired as part of a study of the upper atmosphere, but with the growing concern over UFO’s throughout the country, no doubt many confused the colourful tests with objects from outer space. Some officials feel that many sightings have been confused with heavenly bodies, weather-testing apparatus and space junk, although they are unable to explain away a majority of the reports.

Topping all the alternatives offered by skeptics trying to explain UFOs into disappearing, was the explanation offered by PGDN Sports Editor Ron Balicki, who stated with conviction that the UFOs are ‘for real.’ Says Wrong Ron, ‘They’re here from outer space to watch the Mets in the World Series. There hasn’t been a rash of reports like this since the series in 1969.’

My comment:
A big kudos to journalist Sheila Braxton, the article’s writer.

The late UFO author, lecturer and researcher Terry Hansen said in his UFO book, The Missing Times, that if you are searching for serious UFO news articles – you should search for them in small town newspapers. His statement is totally right, of course!

NOTE: Milton is located just to the south of Naval Air Station Whiting Field.

U.S. Government Documents:
“FBI Records: The Vault: Animal Mutilation”


(Federal Bureau of Investigation, Washington, D.C.)

Text by the FBI:
“Animal/Cattle Mutilation In the mid-1970s, reports of scattered animal mutilations in western and mid-western states concerned many people. The FBI was asked to investigate, but was unable to do so because of a lack of jurisdiction (except when such mutilations were found on Indian lands). These files consist mainly of press clippings and correspondence concerning the issues between 1974 and 1978.”

I also reported about these documents on 25 May 2010.

UFO News Article:
“Local resident awed by UFO sighting after storm – Another cattle mutilation discovered in El Prado pasture”


5 September 1996
(The Taos News, New Mexico)

Source: NewspaperArchive.com

Quote from the article:
“In Gallina Canyon above Valdez, seamstress Jenny Meadowcroft slept fitfully Saturday night (Aug. 31) [1996]. She woke in the dark just before dawn when her cat jumped over her head.

She sat up, looked out the large window beside her bed and saw three globes of soft, luminous light. ‘It was very beautiful. I was awed and amazed,’ she said. ‘I wasn’t afraid.’

She described the lights as white in front, blue and red toward the rear. They weren’t in a triangle, she explained, but in a fixed relationship to each other. ‘I figured they were part of one craft. They took off, moving south very fast without a sound.’ She says they shot past the next window and disappeared. No dogs barked, though one was outside. ‘That was the first UFO I’ve ever seen,’ she said. ‘I’ll never forget it.’

Meadowcroft’s description roughly matched those of three local residents, two from Arroyo Hondo and one from Arroyo Seco, who claim to have seen red, white and blue lights hovering over Gallina Canyon in the past month. UFO sightings commonly coincide with reports of cattle mutilations. Since July 8, two mutilated cows, both belonging to Jesse Gonzales, have been found in Arroyo Hondo.

A third cow that showed classic signs of mutilation was found in a pasture in El Prado Saturday.


A round patch of skin the size of a fist had apparently been cut from the middle of the belly, another classic sign, according to private investigator Gail Staehlin who examined the animal Sunday (Sept. 1). All edges of the cuts were smooth and symmetrical. Staehlin said they looked burned. A little bloody liquid seeped from the nose, but otherwise there were no traces of blood, and no tracks. Staehlin estimated that the animal had been dead since Thursday night (Aug. 29), the night of a spectacular thunderstorm in Taos. ‘That seems to be the pattern now,’ Staehlin said, ‘to strike during a violent storm that keeps everyone else inside.’

Some dry cow patties were found flipped over, another characteristic of a mutilation site, Staehlin said. Chamisa bushes 40 feet away were crushed downward and a couple of small branches had been recently snapped off a nearby cottonwood sapling, ‘as if something flew down,’ Staehlin said. ‘A chopper could have done that.’

Staehlin claims that on more than one occasion she has seen black helicopters while investigating cattle mutilations. She said she was followed along the road by a helicopter without any identifying numbers, and once one hovered right over her as she was inspecting a dead cow.

Tom Reed says he has also seen black and dark bue helicopters without identifying numbers flying over his ranch, ‘[but] I was looking at them through binoculars,’ he said. ‘Maybe the numbers were too small to see.’

Reed, who has managed a ranch north of Questa for 15 years, said he lost eight cows and 13 calves between 1989 and 1990. ‘A lot of those could have been from natural causes, disease or predators,’ he said, ‘but some of them weren’t. I’ve seen what animals do. We have a lot of wild dogs around here and some of them have been seen bringing down elk, but predators don’t make nice clean cuts.’

He said he found a full-grown, healthy cow dead and mutilated in an irrigation ditch that had only four inches of water in it. In May of 1990 he found a mutilated calf in a nearby corral with the entrails cut out of it.


This soft-spoken, down-to-earth rancher said that when he ran a batch of 1- to 2-month-old calves through a chute to inspect them this spring, he discovered that four steers and five heifers had the tips of their ears cut off. He did not report it, but ‘it did seem kind of strange,’ he said. ‘All of them had at least one ear cropped; two of them had both—just an inch off the top in that smooth cut—but they weren’t dead,’ he said, ‘so maybe they weren’t mutilated.’

The most recent mutilation at his ranch occurred last March when he found a 1-month-old calf with the tongue, right eye and two front teeth missing. ‘The teeth weren’t knocked out; they looked like they had been pulled,’ he said. ‘All the insides were gone and the cut was smooth.’ He noted abrasions on two of the calves legs that might indicate it had been airlifted to or from the site, ‘but who knows where they came from. I get abrasions myself,’ he said.

Perhaps the most curious occurrence was Reed’s discovery of a dark patch of what may have been blood in the grass 12 feet away from the body, in the shape of a recently mutilated calf. ‘There was some gray goo in between them,’ he said, ‘but by the time the brand inspector got here, it was gone.’

He complained that Jerry Valerio, local brand inspector for Taos, had been taken off the cases. ‘It always seems like when you’re getting somewhere, somebody higher comes in and stops it.’ He said the last mutilation he reported, ‘they took the whole calf and I never heard back from any of them. I never got much results from calling them in the past,’ he said. ‘They always say they have no information, they can’t tell you anything’ ”

My comment:
This is a newspaper article (one of many newspaper articles) that clearly proves that there exists a connection between UFO sightings and some of the cattle/animal mutilation incidents.

And – rancher Tom Reed’s testimony reveals that the U.S. government takes the animal mutilation phenomenon very seriously – and hides all information regarding animal mutilation cases.

UFO News Article (Blog):
“Four-star general out of the loop”


By Billy Cox, 28 January 2020
(De Void, Sarasota Herald-Tribune, Florida)

Billy Cox presents an interview of retired USMC General and President Donald J. Trump’s former Chief of Staff John F. Kelly.

Quote from the article:
“I wanted to know if he agreed with other defense and intelligence officials that UFOs maneuvering in restricted airspace constituted a national security threat, and if so, what course of action the executive and legislative branches should pursue.

‘When you say UFO to someone like me,’ Kelly began, ‘you’re talking about aircraft that are not authorized to fly through the (restricted airspace), but they come somewhere from planet Earth and land on planet Earth … If you’re talking about a thing that may have started on another planet and came here, I know absolutely nothing about that. You would have to rely on people who do study that kind of thing, the Air Force, Space Command, that kind of thing. But I know nothing about UFOs, whether they’re interplanetary …’

I asked if he was familiar with the now-famous incidents documented by Navy pilots aboard the USS Nimitz and the USS Roosevelt. Kelly said no, but added, ‘What is the U.S. government saying they are?’

‘They’re not saying,’ I replied. ‘They’re saying they reformed the pilot reporting rules, they want to know about this because (the UFOs) outperformed our front-line jet fighters on at least two occasions authenticated by videos. I was just wondering if you were familiar with –’

‘I’m not,’ he said. Next question.


An ‘I can’t comment on that’ would be more reassuring than ‘fessing up to knowing nothing. We need to know that our borders include airspace, and that somebody’s paying attention to that.”
