“SPINNING IN SKY –
Merseyside Men Saw Strange Object”


26 August 1955
(Liverpool Echo, UK)

The whole article:
“A flying object spun through the air along the Mersey last night [25 August 1955], according to two people in different parts of the city. It was huge and cylindrical, strangely phosphorescent, and hovered for fully five minutes over the Pierhead.

Peter Wilson, 17-years-old builder, of 200 Queen’s Drive, Liverpool 14, was walking with his girl friend near the Clubmoor Cinema when he saw the saucer. ‘I was scared stiff,’ he told the Echo. ‘My girl friend was so startled she ran home.’

He thought the object was about 15 yards in diameter and was spinning 700 feet above the ground. ‘It seemed to be looking at something,’ he commented. At 10.45 p.m. it raced away in the direction of the Pierhead.

Meanwhile, when he was walking home, Mr. Eilton Fishgold, 4b Woolton Road, Birkenhead, said he saw a saucer hovering over the Pierhead at 11 p.m. ‘I was scared stiff. At first I couldn’t believe my eyes but it was there—a great big glowing thing spinning round all the time,’ he said this afternoon.”

The whole UFO case report:
Brad Sparks:
Aug. 21, 1955; Kelly, 7 miles N of Hopkinsville, Kentucky (BBU)
7, 8-11 p.m., 2:30-4:45 a.m. At about 7 p.m. Billy Ray Taylor went into the backyard of the Sutton farmhouse and saw a bright object from the SW [or actually about SSW about 210° azimuth from the direction of Fort Campbell U.S. Army base] then pass over and descend into a gully about 500 [300-600?] ft N of the farmhouse and about 35-40 ft lower elevation. Mrs. Glennie Lankford and 6 other adults [most Sutton family], plus 3 children (Charlton, Lonnie and Mary Lankford), saw two or more 3 ft tall gremlin-like creatures float down from trees and approach the house from the dark, which were shot at by rifle and shotgun fire without effect. At about 11 p.m. the entire group fled in terror in their two cars and drove at high speed into Hopkinsville to report the incident to the Police Dept. State police officer leaving the Shady Oaks restaurant 3 miles N of Hopkinsville in a car to respond to the call heard several meteor-like objects streaking over him sounding like artillery shells, and was able to see 2 in a series looking like meteors from the SW [or actually about S, from about 190° azimuth, headed towards Kelly from the direction of Fort Campbell and the TOP SECRET Armed Forces Special Weapons Project Site C, Clarksville Base, 36.665° N, 87.487° W, National Stockpile Site for nuclear weapons storage apparently recently including multi-megaton yield H­ bombs]. City, county, state and military police and reporters drove out to the Sutton farm to investigate from around 11:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. UFO entities returned at about 2:30 a.m. and were again shot at without effect, finally disappearing at about 4:45 a.m. (Davis-Bloecher 1978; Hynek UFO Rpt pp. 212-6; Vallée Magonia 372; FUFOR Index)”

UFO Case Directory (RADCAT):
“RAF Mosquito Pursues Radar Target (BBU)
January 16, 1947
North Sea, 50 miles from Holland”


30 June 2009
(NICAP.org)

The whole UFO case report:
Fran Ridge:
10:30 p.m. (GMT). RAF pilot of Mosquito pursued unidentified radar target showing efficient controlled evasive action at 22,000 ft speed equal or greater than Mosquito, headed W? towards Norfolk, Eng. (FOIA) This was five months before the Kenneth Arnold sighting and the beginning of the Wave of 1947, followed by the crash at Roswell in early July. The incident was also linked to another ‘X raid’ tracked by radar earlier that same day. An FBI document from July of 1947 quoted the Air Ministry case summary stating that: ‘no explanation has been forthcoming, nor has it been repeated.’ This information was not entirely accurate, because a very similar incident had occurred just 24 hours after the North Sea incident. As a direct result, Fighter Command immediately extended its night radar watch.

Dan Wilson:
At 11:30 at night in the North Sea an RAF Mosquito pilot picked up a strange object on radar 50 miles north of the coast of Holland. The UFO seemed to be taking evasive maneuvers when approached by the fighter aircraft. The UFO was pursued for 30 minutes until over the Norfolk, England coast, at which point the object darted away. (Source: APRO Bulletin, December 1977, p. 7). See report from Project Blue Book files below.

Jan Aldrich:
The U.S. got a full report on this which (Captain Edward) Ruppelt saw and summarized. The summary was in Hynek’s files now at CUFOS, Operation Charlie, which Martin Shough and Dave Clarke dug out of the UK archives. This impressive case involves more than one incident, and the British archives is missing some information. Apparently the Americans got a report on the incident including information that is now missing from the UK archives.”

Quote from the UFO report:
“This 26 page chrono involves a number of people. First of all, I want to thank Ted Bloecher. His 1967 work, the entire updated version, is available on the NICAP site (See below). Over a thousand incidents, many of which are included in the chronology below, are listed in the charts from ‘The Report on the UFO Wave of 1947’ (Reference 1).  We also wish to thank Wendy Connors and Mike Hall for allowing us to post their great book, ‘Alfred Loedding and the Great Flying Saucer Wave of 1947’. No 1947 work would be complete without the aid of Jan Aldrich of Project 1947. I want to thank all the members of the A-Team who made this possible. To view the 1947 sightings listed by Blue Book click here. Be sure to click on and read the two great books below. Finally, I want thank Loren Gross for thoughtfully and diligently collecting data many years ago for his UFO Histories and supplemental notes, in particular here the year 1947. And a big thanks to CUFOS and Mary Castnor for housing them on the CUFOS site.

UFO Article (Blog) (Redux):
“The Air Force Investigates The Flying Disks”


By Dr. Michael D. Swords, 1 September 2009
(The Big Study)

Michael D. Swords informs about the first inquiries (in 1947) the U.S. Air Force made into UFOs.

Quote from the article:
“In late June of 1947, the flying disks had begun to appear all over the United States. This was the Air Force’s area of concern, and, after convincing themselves that this was not citizen craziness, they got on the job. The document on the upper right is an example of how quickly this happened and at what level of authority. It’s a note from General Nathan Twining [Commander of Wright-Patterson AFB, and the AF’s high technology research group] to Brigadier General Samuel Brentnall who was chief of the Engineering Technology division there. Twining and Brentnall have been discussing Flying Disk reports [there is a newspaper story on them clipped to this note] already by the beginning of July. So, the AF’s technology wizards are quite interested in what this mystery device is, which has now been reported by many of their own flyers.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The major information point for flying disk reports was in the Pentagon at the Air Force’s Intelligence Division. There they had a Collections branch commanded by Colonel Robert Taylor III. His right-hand man was Lt. Colonel George Garrett. Garrett got the job of collecting and correlating all the flying disk information. He had an FBI contact named S.L. Reynolds. The reason for the contact was that the intelligence community initially suspected that some of these reports were made by Soviet sympathizers in order to scare the public. They quickly found out otherwise [Soviet sympathizers weren't flying at 30,000 feet in metal disks to scare people in New Mexico], and Garrett and Reynolds settled down to try to figure out what WAS going on.”

Swords also presents U.S. government (U.S. Air Force and Federal Bureau of Investigation) documents that pertain to the UFO investigations.

I first reported about this article on 22 August 2013.

March 31, 1983”


(NICAP.org)

The whole UFO case report:
Animal Reaction Feature:
At 8:30 pm, Thunder, a 175-pound Great Dane, ‘went crazy’ and barked for 3 minutes. His owner, Cindy Tillison, went to see what was going on. Thunder was standing at the sliding doors in the kitchen barking toward the woods. When Tillison looked, she saw a huge V-shaped object. The object remained for 20 minutes and, throughout this time, Thunder appeared frightened and barked continuously with ears straight up. The next day he refused to go out.

Joan Woodward, Animal Reaction Feature:
The V-shaped object was glowing a very bright auburn color and had lights similar to headlights but much larger. When Tillison flicked her floodlights on and off, the object appeared to move in response, after which she left the lights off. During the 20 minutes of observation, the object projected a big, steady beam of light, seemingly from its center. The beam was very wide, estimated a little less than half the size of the object. The big round lights did change, going off [and on?—jw] and changing colors. The object disappeared when the witness was not looking.

No sound was mentioned. No EM effects or physiological effects were reported.

The whole UFO case report:
Animal Reaction Feature:
When a group of V-shaped lights approached and passed almost directly overhead, a family’s pet cat, appearing frightened with its hair standing on end and its tail straight up, ran into the house.

Joan Woodward, Animal Reaction Specialist:
At 8:45 pm, A Yorktown man with an aerospace background saw a V-formation of lights that circled his home twice. He estimated its altitude at 1500 feet and he heard a very quiet sound coming from it. 

Jerry Karp, advertising executive, who lived a half mile away from the above location, noticed bright lights through his window.  He went outdoors and saw a V-shaped series of lights approaching and called his family to come out and look at them.  When the lights were at their closest point to them (almost overhead), the cat reacted as described above.  At this point the object turned 90 degrees and moved away.  When overhead, they heard an engine-like sound that was not loud but clearly audible.
