“Caldwell Officers Are ‘Believers’ Now”
(U.S.A. news report, 1973)
Source: Archives For the Unexplained, Norrköping, Sweden
(AFU.se)
Quote from the article:
“There are at least two believers in unidentified
flying objects in this small town of 1,700 nestled on the Kansas-Oklahoma line.
The two, Dave Lowe and Eddie Roberts, police officers
who were patrolling Caldwell early Monday morning, both say they were close
enough to an unidentified flying object ‘to get a picture.’
But they didn’t have a camera.
LOWE and Roberts, 24, both rookies on the Caldwell
police force, heard reports over the police radio that unidentified flying
objects were moving in a southerly direction toward Wellington, South Haven and
Caldwell.
The two headed for the Caldwell Airport on the east
edge of town. They spotted a clouple hovering high in the sky, but could not
see them clearly.
When the objects disappeared, they went back to
sipping coffee and telling each other how absurd people were who said they
could tell definitely that the objects were not stars.
LOWE DESCRIBED it as being red, white, and bluish
green in color. It was impossible to separate the colors; they all blended
together, he said.
‘It didn’t look at all like what I thought a flying
saucer would. It wasn’t round and it was much longer than it was wide. Actually,
it looked like an egg,’ he said. ‘It was a hundred yards long.’
After regaining their composure, the two jumped in the
squad car and raced after the object to get a closer look. As they pulled onto
U.S. 81 and headed east, the object ducked behind a hedge row and they lost
sight of it.
‘WHEN IT WENT behind the hedge row, the darn thing
must have turned out the lights so we couldn’t follow it,’ Lowe said. ‘Anyway
we never saw the thing again.’
Total time the object was seen at close-hand was
approximately three minutes, they said.
‘I mentioned several minutes before we saw it that I
heard an engine running,’ Lowe related. ‘I thought it was an airplane, but we
never saw one come in afterwards.’
Both men said they did not believe the object was from
earth (read: Earth).
‘It was nothing manmade like I’ve seen. It might be something experimental, but I don’t think so,’ Roberts said.”

UFOs and Nukes Researcher Robert Hastings”
By Robert L. Hastings, 29 July 2016
(The UFO Chronicles, 30 July 2016)
Quote from the article:
“I have been invited to speak at the upcoming MUFON
Symposium in Orlando, Florida, on August 26th.
Over the past 43 years, I have interviewed more than
150 U.S. military veterans regarding their involvement in UFO incidents at
nuclear weapons sites.
The witness testimony, reinforced by hundreds of
declassified documents, convincingly establishes the reality of longstanding,
widespread and ongoing UFO activity at ICBM sites, weapons storage facilities,
missile test areas, nuclear laboratories and fissile material production plants.”

Silvery Disc Seen Through Theodolite
April 1947

The whole UFO case report:
“Brad Sparks:
April 1947; Richmond, Virginia (BBU)
Fran Ridge:
There is a document which reads: "... Mr. Walter
Minezewski has observed this strange metallic disc on three occasions through
the theodolite while making his pibal observation during the last six months
(November, 1946 - April, 1947)" **.
In the other document:
"There is no astronomical
explanation for this Incident, which, however,
deserves considerable attention, because of the experience of the
observers ana the fact that the observation was made through a theodolite and
that conparison could be made with a pibal balloon. The observers had,
therefore, a good estimate of altitude, of relative size, and of speed much more reliable than those given in most
reports.This investigator would like to recommend that these and other pibal
observers be quizzed as to other possible un-reported sightings." *
James McDonald:
Here was a pre-Arnold sighting never reported
officially. It was quite clearly not an observation of "new American
military vehicles," nor can one readily square this with any phenomenon of
atmospheric physics or astronomy. It is a UFO observation, and a rather
interesting one. Bloecher's search has led to several other pre-Arnold 1947
sightings. Just a matter of days before this writing, I spoke on the telephone
with Walter A. Minczewski, the U. S. Weather Bureau observer whose April, 1947,
theodolite-tracking case is cited in the text. Minczewski emphasized that he
had never reported it to other than his Weather Bureau superiors and hence was
surprised to be called about it twenty years later. Yet his recollection of the
details of the whitish disc-like object he had tracked one clear morning in
Richmond, Virginia, was still distinct in his mind.”
The UFO incident occurred on 1 April 1947, according
to the book, UFOs and Government: A
Historical Inquiry.
NICAP.org presents a U.S.
government (U.S. Air Force) document that pertains to the UFO case.

The whole document text:
“There is no astronomical explanation for this

experience of the observers and the fact that the observation was made through

This investigator would like to recommend that these

The UFO incident (occurred on 1 April 1947) was
observed by U.S. Weather Bureau station personnel.
Personnel at the station in Richmond observed three UFO
incidents in the spring of 1947.
This is the first U.S. UFO case mentioned in the seminal
book, UFOs and Government: A Historical
Inquiry. The book presents a longer and more in-depth Blue Book report on the
case.

UFO News Article:
“Mysterious lights over Lake Michigan
get second look”
11 March 1994
(The Argus-Press, Owosso, Michigan)
The article reports on the 8 March 1994 South West
Michigan UFO sightings.
Quote from the article:
“Witness accounts and radar images of
fast-moving lights over Lake Michigan are being examined by UFO investigators.
Leo Grenier, who is in charge of the National
Weather Service office in Muskegon, said radar data turned up a fast-moving
phenomenon over Lake Michigan off South Haven late Monday night and that he
notified the National UFO Reporting Center.
‘(Witnesses) were talking about red
and green sets of lights to the south, oscillating,’ Grenier said. ‘The lights
did some rather erratic movements at times.’
Grenier said a weather service radar
operator ‘did pick up echoes in the approximate location of the sighting and moving
in the same manner as described by those seeing it on the ground.’
He said radar showed the object,
about 15,000 feet
in altitude, zipped from South Haven to about 10 miles off shore in 10
seconds.
Tower personnel at Muskegon County
Airport saw what appeared to be aircraft flying in formation. Among the
witnesses was a Holland police officer.
Walter Andrus, international director
of the Mutual UFO Network in Seguin, Texas, said Thursday that four investigators
were reviewing the sightings.”

“UFO sightings near Lake Michigan reported”
16 March 1994
(The Argus-Press, Owosso, Michigan)
The article reports on the 8 March 1994 South West
Michigan UFO sightings.
Quote from the article:
“Darrell and Holly Graves of Holland
would like to know more about that huge round aircraft with the white and red
lights they saw hovering over a neighbor’s home last week.
UFO researchers are descending on
southwestern Michigan this week as reports continue to filter in from dozens of
people who say they saw something unusual in the night sky March 8 from Grand
Rapids to the Lake Michigan shoreline between Muskegon and South Haven.
‘It is, right now, the hottest case
we have in the country,’ said Walter Andrus, director of the Texas-based international
Mutual UFO Network.
What makes the case so unusual,
Andrus says, is that the sightings seem to coincide with unexplained radar
trackings from the National Weather Service office in Muskegon.”
