Video text: 

“Guest Paul Dean discusses what he has uncovered through Freedom of information documents, un-mined sources of government entities that have detected, tracked and made conclusions on anomalous aerial objects. There have been extremely unusual aerospace events; plus, the results of FOIA work into historical records of the USAF Space Command; NORAD; the FAA, and more.

 

BIO: Paul Dean is an Australian researcher who focuses on government and military involvement and response to the so-called UFO phenomena. Working alone for 20 years, Paul became an expert in official documentation related to the UFO issue. Seven years ago he began tackling the problem directly, and became instrumental in seeing that the Australian government release hitherto classified files from the Royal Australian Air Force, Air Services Australia, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, and the National Archives of Australia. He works extensively with Australian based researcher Keith Basterfield on UFO case analysis and the preservation of UFO-related records. Further, Paul started working on the US scene with ‘old school’ researchers like Barry Greenwood, Brad Sparks and Jan Aldrich.

 

Paul and his team use the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to obtain records, and he is hot on the trail of 100s of never-before-seen classified military files. Recent discoveries include UFO sighting reports created during the Vietnam War, and administrative records related to a pair of highly classified ‘UFO tracking’ programs which were ran by the US Army and US Air Force during America's involvement in that conflict. Other fresh finds include Federal Bureau of Investigation records related to the interrogation of UFO researchers in the 1970's, and a current Federal Aviation Administration system for logging military intercepts of unknown objects in America’s airspace. Paul has also begun requesting UFO records from the USAF’s Air Force Space Command, which will include files from the 21st Space Wing and the vital Joint Functional Component Centre for Space at Vandenburg Air Force Base. Paul believes there are likely hundreds of thousands of UFO records still held by elements of the US government, and works tirelessly to source their location and availability status. All-in-all, Paul has acquired a total of 240,000 pages of UFO-related government and military records from around the world, and tens of millions of pages of non-government UFO records, including books, newsletters, monographs, newspaper articles, case studies, letters, and magazine articles.”

UFO News Article: “Officers in Memphis sight blinking UFO”

17 May 1977

(Big Spring Herald, Texas)

Source: NewspaperArchive.com

The whole article:

“At least five law enforcement officers reported sighting a huge unidentified flying object with red and green blinking lights over Memphis early today [17 May 1977].

‘It was almost standing still and only about 200 feet off the ground, just over the power line towers,’ said Patrolman T.L. Todd, who was one of three groups of officers who reported the object.

‘It was in the shape of a perfect triangle, standing on its edge. It was so close it almost looked as if I could reach out and touch it.’

Todd and his partner, officer J.W. Jeter, were on patrol about 3 a.m. when they spotted the craft near the Norris Road exit of Interstate 240.

‘We called the police dispatcher to report what we had seen and we were still on the air talking to him when a Tennessee State Highway Patrolman called in from Collierville to report he had [seen] it,’ Jeter said.

The two officers said a team of officers from the North Precinct then broke into the radio conversation to ask if it was triangular in shape.

‘Up to that point we had said nothing about it being triangular in shape,’ Jeter said. ‘So we knew they had seen the same thing we did. They said they saw it over North Memphis about 11 p.m. [16 May 1977].

Jeter and Todd, members of the Memphis Police Department’s tactical squad, tried to get a better look at the object through a rifle scope.

‘As we put the scope on it for a closeup view it streaked out of sight so fast we couldn’t really get it into the scope,’ Jeter said.

Both officers said they heard no sound coming from the object and that it did not attempt to land.

James Wright, chief of the Federal Aviation Administration’s control tower at Memphis International Airport, said his controllers had numerous calls about the sighting.

‘But we couldn’t help them,’ Wright said. ‘We had no sighting from the tower and it didn’t show up on radar…We don’t know what it was.’ ”

My comment:

David B. Marler reports about this UFO case in his book, Triangular UFOs: An Estimate of the Situation.

Collierville, Tennessee, is located 37 kilometres (23 miles) to the south east of Memphis.

UFO News Article: “CONTINUING UFO – SA Man Describes Sighting”

25 September 1975

(The Register, Santa Ana, California)

Source: NewspaperArchive.com

The whole article:

“Since Aug. 10 mysterious unidentified flying objects have been reported at least 17 times in California. The cases are now being investigated by civilian research groups including the Center [for] UFO Studies located in Evanston, Ill.

The most recent UFO incident took place between 12:30 and 12:45 a.m., Sep. 6 [1975], near 5,886-foot Mount Wilson, Calif., teeming with TV transmitter towers, and the home of Hale Observatory, about 15 miles northeast of central Los Angeles.

In the early morning darkness an electrical engineer sighted three bluish-green lights forming a perfect triangle. The engineer, employed at a television station’s Mt. Wilson facility, says the lights always maintained the same alignment relative to each other. He has no explanation for the observed phenomenon.

Reports of other UFO activity in the general area of the engineer’s sighting are being checked by this columnist [David Branch].

A triangular-shaped UFO was also reported less than a month earlier in Northern California near Gilroy. David Dover, a resident of Gilroy, says that on the evening of Wednesday, Aug. 13 [1975], he was hunting with two friends when they saw ‘two bright lights in the sky.’ The witnesses were later able to get a better look at the strange lights and saw ‘a triangular-shaped object, with red and white lights on it.’

But perhaps the most intriguing sighting of an unidentified flying triangle occurred Aug. 18 [1975] in Santa Ana. On that date, Robert M. Hudson, 48, a truck driver who lives on South Arapaho Drive, viewed the most astounding sight of his life. He saw the object from his front yard as it apparently moved from southwest to northeast on a flight path almost over the Santa Ana River.

The following is quoted from his report, written four days after the incident, to the Mutual UFO Network, a large private UFO research agency:

‘I swear the following to be the truth, the whole truth, so help me God.

‘On the evening of Monday, Aug. 18th [1975], at approximately 5:35 p.m., I was out in my front yard, washing down my driveway with the hose, when I heard a strange-sounding aircraft approaching. I mean strange because I haven’t heard an engine or motor like it.

‘It sounded like a Cessna engine only it had a high pitch whining sound or whistling sound with it.

‘And it had a faint trail of vapor or light colored smoke coming from the tail or rear of the craft.

‘The craft was yellowish orange in color, and had a dark green or blue single stripe on each wing tip.

‘It was traveling at a speed of at least 300 miles per hour, and at an altitude of between 500 and 800 feet. I had it in view for at least 30 minutes, till it disappeared into a cloud bank probably over Chapman Ave. or close to it which is about 5 or 6 miles from my house.

‘The craft did not veer off course or hover but did climb as it moved away.

‘Also the craft was very clear lined and no visible motors or contours to hold same.

‘The weather and sky were very clear and there was very good visibility. I called the ‘Santa Ana Register and (local) radio station minutes after seeing it. . .’

Other California UFO sightings during the past two months of strange lights and disc shaped objects have been made in Anaheim, Gilroy, Hollister, N. Hollywood, Orange, Morgan Hill, Stockton, and Vasona.

The object seen at Stockton on Aug. 14 [1975] at 9:35 p.m. was reportedly disc shaped and emitted green smoke.

The mystery disc was seen by two Federal Aviation Administration air traffic controllers on duty at the Stockton FAA tower. (Previous press accounts erroneously reported only one FAA representative had seen the UFO.)

[Unintelligible, possibly David] Long, one of the controller witnesses, said the disc was at about 2,000 feet altitude. As the UFO tilted upward, said controller Long, it emitted a green glowing smoke and flashed red lights.”

My comment:

Vasona is probably Vasona Lake County Park in Los Gatos, California.

Los Gatos “is located in the San Francisco Bay Area at the southwest corner of San Jose in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains,” according to Wikipedia.

UFO news article:

“Residents report odd lights”

17 November 1994

(The Taos News, New Mexico)

The whole article:

“If you happened to be outside at night last September and saw a strange glowing object moving across the sky, you were not alone.

People from New Mexico to Alaska have reported seeing a large number of unidentified flying objects, enough to be called a major ‘flap’ by officials of the UFO Reporting Center in Seattle, Washington.

Incidents were reported above Amor Lane near Taos High School and at other areas in Taos in September, according to a story in the Monday (Nov. 14) issue of The Santa Fe New Mexican.

Maida Martinez, her husband Toby, and Eric Tafoya of Taos all reported seeing an object described as a ‘bright, white light, accompanied by about a dozen smaller lights’ flying low over populated areas of Taos.

Air Force bases in New Mexico and the Federal Aviation Administration in Albuquerque declined to comment on the sightings.

Northern New Mexico and southern Colorado have bee the center of dozens of UFO sightings since the late 1960s, some apparently linked to reports of cattle mutilations.”
