“Cigar-Shaped Object –
UFO Tracked On Radar Near Airport In Georgia”
28 March 1966
(The News-Dispatch, Jeannette, Pennsylvania)

The oblong, triangular (wedge) shaped UFO was sighted over the Columbus, Georgia area on 27 March 1966, at around 5:30 a.m., according to the article:

http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=cOtWAAAAIBAJ&sjid=JkINAAAAIBAJ&pg=6096,5918075

Quote from the article:
“Six Columbus policemen, and a control tower operator at Ft. Benning, Ga., also said they saw the strange object.”

Doyle Palmer, an air traffic control operator at Muscogee County Airport, said he first spotted the greenish white, cigar shaped object at about 5:30 a.m., and that it was tracked on radar at Atlanta for over an hour. He estimated its height at about 5,000 feet.

Columbus police detective G.H. Ferguson said he spotted the object after hearing radio reports about it. He described the glowing thing as wedge-shaped and said he saw it rising in the air. He reported it was much brighter and moved faster than a star.

Don Haddock of radio station WDAK also said he watched a triangle-shaped glowing object in the same area until 7 a.m.”

“Window dressing better than none at all”,
by Billy Cox, 23 July 2012
(De Void, Sarasota Herald-Tribune, Florida)

Billy Cox reports on the newly released (12 July 2012) UK MoD UFO files:

http://devoid.blogs.heraldtribune.com/13155/window-dressing-better-than-none-at-all/

Quote from the article:
“ ‘It’s important to bear in mind,’ e-mails Nick Pope, who once worked the UK’s UFO agency, ‘that MoD’s policy since the Fifties has been not only to downplay the UFO phenomenon itself (as being of ‘no defense significance’) but to downplay the extent of the MoD’s interest and involvement in the subject. This led to the somewhat bizarre position where officials had to effectively belittle their own job to ensure that what they said was consistent with the official line.’ ”
