UFO Mailing List Post: “AP & Hastings On Area 51 Declas Docs”

By Robert L. Hastings, 17 August 2013

(UFO UpDates, Toronto, Canada)

Robert L. Hastings (presents the link to the AP article) reports on the recent interview he gave to Associated Press reporter Hannah Dreier:

http://ufoupdateslist.com/2013/aug/m17-001.shtml

In this post, Hastings mentions the U.S. Air Force’s standard PR statement on UFOs. FOIA-released documents confirm that the USAF has investigated UFO incidents after 1969, Hastings argues.

UFO News Article: “Auburndale Policemen Report UFO Sighting”

27 March 1979 (The Ledger, Lakeland, Florida)

The police officers Guthrie Knorr and John Knapp sighted 5 fast-flying, brightly coloured, disk shaped UFOs over Auburndale (Florida) on 27 March 1979, shortly after 2:00 a.m., The Ledger reports:

http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1346&dat=19790327&id=MXVRAAAAIBAJ&sjid=uPoDAAAAIBAJ&pg=3403,9382357

Quote from the article:

“ ‘They weren’t shooting stars,’ said Knorr. ‘They were in an old V-formation with two on one side and three on the other. One of them was bigger than the others.’

Shortly after the sighting, a citizen told police he spotted five streaking objects near the city, Knorr said.

Knorr said Knapp called the UFO Sighting Center in Seattle, Wash., to report this morning’s sighting.”
