UFO case report:
“RV NEAR OAK RIDGE AEC PLANT – June 21, 1952”

(NICAP.org)

The whole UFO case report:
“On June 21, 1952, at 10:58 PM, a Ground Observer Corps spotter reported that a slow-moving craft was nearing the AECs Oak Ridge Laboratory, an area so secret that it is prohibited to aircraft. The spotter called the light into his filter center and the filter center relayed the message to the ground control intercept radar. They had a target. But before they could do more than confirm the GOC spotter’s report, the target faded from the radarscope.

An F-47 aircraft on combat air patrol in the area was vectored in visually, spotted a light, and closed on it. They ‘fought’ from 10,000 to 27,000 feet, and several times the object made what seemed to be ramming attacks. The light was described as white, 
6 to 8 inches in diameter, and blinking until it put on power. The pilot could see no silhouette around the light. The similarity to the Fargo case was striking.

In each of these instances, as well as in the case narrated next, the sources of the stories were trained airmen with excellent reputations. They were sincerely baffled by what they bad seen. They had no conceivable motive for falsifying or ‘dressing up’ their reports.

Captain Edward J. Ruppelt”

UFO Statistics:
“UFO Sightings Map:
by Shapes in South America”


By Larry Hatch 
(*U* UFO DATABASE, U.S.A.)

Source: Internet Archive, San Francisco, California

The whole article:
“Three general UFO shapes are overlaid here. ‘Saucers’ in Blue are disks, cones, ovoids and spheres together. Violet is for ‘Cigars,’ cylinders, fuselages, elongated shapes. Green indicates angular forms: flying triangles, deltoids, diamonds, rectangles.

These overlap somewhat, some reports indicate multiple shapes. An earlier disk might be covered over by a later cigar. The same UFO might be described as either depending on perspective. Disks outnumber cigars, and both outnumber Flying Triangles which are fairly scarce in South America.

One lonely Cigar shows in Chilean Tierra del Fuego at the bottom of the map. Note the band of cigars between 30 and 35 degrees South Longitude across Chile and Argentina.”

“Overlaid UFO Map: UFO shapes in Europe”

(*U* UFO DATABASE, U.S.A.)

The whole article:
“Here, three general UFO shapes are distinguished by colors. Light blue for round UFOs: saucers, disks, cones, ovoids and spheres. Violet is for cigars, cylinders, fuselages, elongated shapes.  Green indicates angular forms: triangles, deltoids, diamonds etc. There will be some overlap. Multiple shapes are sometimes seen together. One man’s cigar is another man’s disk.

Flying triangles appeared in the mid 1970s, fell back, then returned in force from 1988 onward, especially in Belgium and England. Cigars are common in Portugal and France, less so in Spain.

Sightings at sea tend to be cigars. Note the distribution in Sweden: saucers in the West, cigars in the East, triangles in between. Romania prefers saucers in the North and Triangles to the South.”

The whole article:
“Three general UFO shapes are overlaid here. Layer #1 in Blue are disks, cones, ovoids, plates and spheres. Violet is for cigars, cylinders, fuselages, cigarette shapes. Layer #3 in Green indicates angular forms: flying triangles, deltoids, diamonds, rectangles etc.

There is some overlap. Multiple shapes are reported at times. A saucer might be overlaid by a triangle, the same place but at a later date. A saucer seen edge-on becomes a ‘cigar’ at times.

Disks outnumber cigars/cylinders, and both appeared early on. Flying triangles show mostly in urbanized areas near coastlines. Rural FTs show around Indiana. One small cluster was near Lumberton, NC in 1975 (79W x 34N) predated a major Belgian deltoid wave by 14 years.”

UFO Press Release:
“Tallgrass Creek’s Jack Sladkey Saw a UFO
57 Years Ago, Remains Convinced Life Exists
on Planets Other Than Earth”


1 January 2016
(The Kansas City Star, Missouri)

Tallgrass Creek resident Jack Sladkey, Captain, U.S. Air Force (Ret.), saw a huge UFO from his B-25 airplane in 1958 when he was on a mission to train navigators, according to the press release:


Quote from the press release:
“Sladkey, who earned his wings at Vance Air Force Base in Enid, Oklahoma, was flying in a loose formation with three other aircraft on a summer night along the west Texas border.

Sladkey said the object had hundreds of lights. It hovered for about 15 minutes and suddenly flew out of sight, exceeding the speed of sound and disappearing from radar, he said.

‘I saw it and six pilots and thee navigators flying with me that night also saw it,’ he said.

Sladkey immediately called Air Traffic Control to see if any other large aircraft were in the area and was informed they were not. He and his crew members then determined the object to have been a UFO.

When Sladkey landed he discussed what he had seen with his Squadron Commander who suggested the incident not be reported.”

“Group/Category 4, Animal Effect Cases –
Jewel Valley, California –
January 31, 2002”


(NICAP.org)

Sources: Report by Peter Davenport, Director, National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC). Reported on 31 January 2002, posted on 11 March 2003.

Peter Davenport, on The Jeff Rense Program, aired 12 February 2002, 2nd hour of the radio show.

Quote from the UFO case report:
Animal Reaction Feature:
At 5:30 am PST, a border patrol officer was sitting in his car with his male German Shepherd protection dog in the back seat. The back windows were ‘down a little bit so he could get air.’ The witness head a rapidly oscillating humming sound that became louder, and he was thinking that something was wrong with his truck. His dog ‘got startled, and he jumped up and was looking out the window.’ When the witness looked to see what the dog was looking at, he saw a large disc that flew directly over him going west to east. This disc was followed by more discs, and embedded among the discs was a large boomerang-shaped object. Aside from the oscillating hum, the witness also referred to a vibration that could be barely felt. He estimated the objects were 300 feet (or yards) overhead, and commented that if they had license plates, he could have read them. He compared their speed to that of a Cessna.”


The INS Agent saw the UFOs near Boulevard, California.
