The article focuses on the 1980 Cash/Landrum case.

Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum and Colby Landrum, Vickie’s seven-year-old grandson, sighted a UFO over the Piney Woods, near the town of Huffman, Texas, on 29 December 1980, at around 9:00 p.m.

Twenty-three U.S. military helicopters were trying to encircle the UFO, according to the witnesses. They sighted two types of helicopters, double rotor CH-47 Chinooks and Bell-Hueys.

All three UFO witnesses suffered severe physical injury as a result of the encounter with the UFO.

http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=tKExAAAAIBAJ&sjid=0aoFAAAAIBAJ&pg=5289,1873951

Quote from the article:
“Since Nov. 29, dozens of people and police officials in the northeastern Liege province said they’ve seen luminous objects in the sky, with some of them describing a flying platform scanning the surface with three huge searchlights, while others talk of dancing lights.

During the same period, air traffic controllers ‘found radar blips on the screens that could not be immediately explained,’ said Defense Ministry spokesman Col. Michel Mandel.

At the time of the sightings there were no authorized low-level flights in the region.”

2 UFOs In Boeing 747-8 Flight Test Video?

I discovered the footage in the documentary film, Megafactories: Boeing 747 (National Geographic):

http://www.newairplane.com/747/testflight/#/4

The 2 unknown objects (flying side by side) can be seen (in the upper left corner of the screen, between the clouds) at the moment the narrator says (halfway into the video): “In this clip from August, the pilots purposely put the freighter into a stall.”

I don’t know if the footage is recorded (unknown date) over California, Washington State or somewhere else.
