“Back when you couldn't ignore it ...”
By Billy Cox, 20 November 2015
(De Void, Sarasota Herald-Tribune , Florida
Billy Cox reports about the UFO project (“UFOs: A History/The Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse”) of veteran researcher Loren E. Gross:
Quote from the article:
“Drawn from original newspaper, magazine, military and
civilian reports, ‘every UFO book available,’ and collections from the likes of
crusading atmospheric physicist Dr. James McDonald, this online collection at
http://sohp.us/collections/ufos-a-history/ is the culmination of a lifetime’s work
from veteran researcher Loren Gross.
‘Remarkably,’ Gross states in his introduction in
comparing military accounts with civilian accounts, ‘there is very little
overlap aside from well-known incidents. The Air Force explanations are a joke
and I paid little attention to them. Having reviewed tens of thousands of
sighting reports, I did not use every case while compiling the UFO histories –
only the ones I thought were the best.’
A joke indeed. In a verdict that rendered the USAF a
laughingstock to the residents of Levelland, the Pentagon kissed off the
11/3/57 incident this way: ‘Weather phenomenon of electrical nature, generally
classified as ‘Ball Lightning’ or ‘St. Elmo’s Fire,’ caused by stormy
conditions in the area, including mist, rain, thunderstorms and lightning.’
Nevermind that the skies over Levelland that evening were relatively clear that
evening, that not a drop of rain fell on the west Texas

UFO Intelligence Summary:
“Subject: UFOs & Trains”
By Francis
Ridge
(NICAP.org)
Quote from the intelligence summary:
“My interest in trains and UFOs stems from at least
four things:
1) I investigated the L&N train incident in 1973.
2) UFO sightings involving trains, especially close
encounters, are rare.
3) Most modern train engines are diesel powered and
there has been some interest in the fact that conventional engines of all types
are affected by UFOs and diesels had not been.
4) And extremely interesting is the fact that ALL of

UFO News Article:
“Witnesses share UFO reports”
4 July 1997
(McCook Daily Gazette, Nebraska
The article reports on several South West Nebraska UFO
sightings:
Quote from the article:
“Several years ago – The California Zephyr train was
eastbound out of McCook on a clear night headed to Hastings
When the train reached Kenesaw, a row of lights
appeared in the sky, visible to the engineer and train crew. The lights were
beside the train, then in front of the train, and then shot up and out of
sight.
About an hour later and 50 miles away, a village
marshal reported that something had landed at the trash dump. The marshal said
the object, which looked like other reported spaceships, was on the ground for
a short time before it lifted off and flew straight up into the sky.
‘Was something in the air that clear night that would cause normally stable and reliable persons to report such things?’ a railroad veteran from McCook wrote about the sightings. ‘Your guess is as good as mine.’ ”
