UFO Article (Blog):
“Luis Elizondo, The Defence Office of
Prepublication and Security Review, and
a ‘DD Form 1910’ Chain of Custody – Part 1”


By Paul Dean, 3 March 2018
(UFOs – Documenting The Evidence, Melbourne, Australia)

Quote from the article:
“In the last few months a formal, hitherto unknown US Department of Defence (DOD) program to study the UFO phenomena has been revealed. Located within the massive Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA), the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), began in 2007, and was dissolved in 2012. Beyond that, and yet to be formally admitted, the work of ATTIP was apparently migrated to an new interagency partnership where it is still ongoing today. The AATIP effort, for most of its existence, was headed by DOD staffer, Luis Elizondo, whose career has been spent in specialised defence intelligence, counter–intelligence and security roles. Since his departure, last year, from the DOD, Elizondo has appeared in numerous media interviews regarding the AATIP program, but avoids detailing specific security classified information. Acres and acres of discussion about the AATIP issue  has, unsurprisingly, taken place on social media and in the press. I do not aim here to further highlight what has already been revealed, or what hasn’t. My intention, as always, is to provide primary documentation, or other solidly sourced narrative.

On the 25th of February, 2018, Elizondo was interviewed by reporter George Knapp for the radio podcast show ‘Coast to Coast.’ In that presentation, Elizondo revealed that he used the services of the Defense Office of Prepublication and Security Review (DOPSR). In conjunction with that effort, Elizondo said he utilised a pair of DOD publications which govern the clearance and release of certain information to the public. Importantly, Elizondo stated that the actual document he used was a ‘DD Form 1910.’ ”

UFO Video Interview:
Milton Torres - “HISTORY’S GREATEST
MILITARY SECRET REVEALED”


Published: 5 November 2009
(Edit International News Agency)

Source: Rich Bradley (YouTube channel)

U.S. Air Force fighter pilot (then) Lieutenant Milton John Torres was ordered on a mission to intercept and shoot down a very large UFO over East Anglia, UK, on 20 May 1957. As he locked on his weapons, the UFO took off at an unbelievable speed and disappeared. Torres flew an F-86D Sabre jet fighter.

I also reported about this interview on 13 November 2009.

UFO Case Directory (NCP):
“Subject: The Kirtland UFO Incident;
Albuquerque, New Mexico; November 4, 1957”


(NICAP.org)

The whole UFO case report:
Francis Ridge:
Apparently the UFO flew right-to-left along the East-West runway, then turned SW toward the tower, stopping near the nuclear weapons storage area for about a minute. McDonald mentioned that the UFO stopped near the Kirtland ‘Drumhead Area’ where the B-58 operated. If the object hovering near a WSA (Weapons Storage Area) didn’t get your attention, you have to read what the implications might have been with the B-58 ‘Hustler’! See Joel Carpenter’s preliminary analysis link below. And there’s a lot more.

CAA tower personnel, R. M. Kaser and E. G. Brink, were reliable observers with 23 years of airport control tower experience between them. A lighted object came down steeply at the east end of a runway, left the flight line, crossed runways, taxiways, and unpaved areas at about a 30 degree angle, and proceeded southwest towards the control tower at an altitude of less than 100 feet. Observed through through 7x binoculars, the object appeared to be egg-shaped, having no wings, tail, or fuselage, and was elongated vertically. It appeared to be fifteen to twenty feet tall, about the size of an automobile standing on its nose, and had a single white light at its base. After the UFO left the area it was tracked on a CPN-18 surveillance radar and it exhibited some amazing flight characteristics. The object also came back towards Kirtland until it took up a position behind an Air Force C-46 that had just taken off. It stayed in position behind the C-46 until they both moved out of radar range.

There have been several UFO incidents in and around Kirtland AFB through the years. A questionable one happened in 1980, but the one of November 4th, 1957, was one that has stood the test of time and has been well covered by Hynek, McDonald, etc.”

UFO News Article:
“Nation Wide Radar Network Is Alerted”


5 November 1957
(Santa Fe New Mexican, New Mexico)

Source: theufochronicles.com

Quote from the article:
“The Air Force alerted its nation-wide radar network today to watch for a ‘brilliant mystery object’ that has been reported flying in a crazy pattern over Texas, New Mexico and the Gulf of Mexico in the last two days.

Air Force officials said the latest sightings have been placed in an unexplained category pending investigation …

A statement issued by the Air Force said: ‘The air defense command radar network is keeping watch . . . trained personnel are investigating reports on scene.’

The alert coincided with the release of an official dispatch to U.S. Coast Guard headquarters reporting that the cutter ‘Sebado’ [sic] had contacted the strange object several times by radar over the middle of the Gulf of Mexico this morning.

Comdr. Clarence H. Waring, skipper of the Sebago, said the object looked like a ‘brilliant planet.’ His radar contacts indicated that the object was moving at from 240 to 900 miles an hour, frequently changing its direction, but at one point appeared to be completely stationary in the sky.”

UFO Book Excerpt:
“The Levelland, Texas, Sightings -
November 2, 1957”


Source: NICAP.org

The excerpt (Pages 123-128) comes from Dr. J. Allen Hynek’s book, The UFO Experience: A Scientific Inquiry (1972).

Quote from the book excerpt:
“What was needed at the time was swift reaction by Blue Book and a serious, thorough investigation. Captain Gregory, then head of Blue Book, did call me by phone, but at that time, as the person directly responsible for the tracking of the new Russian satellite, I was on a virtual around-the-clock duty and was unable to give it any attention whatever. I am not proud today that I hastily concurred in Captain Gregory’s evaluation as ‘ball lightning’ on the basis of information that an electrical storm had been in progress in the Levelland area at the time. That was shown not to be the case. Observers reported overcast and mist but no lightning. Besides, had I given it any thought whatever, I would soon have recognized the absence of any evidence that ball lightning can stop cars and put out headlights.

I was told that the Blue Book investigation consisted of the appearance of one man in civilian clothes at the sheriff’s office at about 11:45 A.M. On November 5; he made two auto excursions during the day and then told Sheriff Clem that he was finished.

A newspaper reporter subsequently said that he had recognized the investigator and identified him as an Air Force sergeant.

In any event, Blue Book came under severe pressure. In a memo dated December 4, 1957, Captain Gregory complained that.... . as a result of pressure from both the press and public

. . . Assistant Secretary of Defense requested that ATIC immediately submit a preliminary analysis to the press . . . a most difficult requirement in view of the limited data.’ ”

UFO News Article:
“Object Lands On Highway”


4 November 1957
(Amarillo Daily News, Texas)

Source: theufochronicles.com

The article reports on the 2-3 November 1957 Levelland, Texas, UFO case.

Quote from the article:
“Sightings of a blazing oval-shaped object that landed on highways and then took off at tremendous speeds straight up early this morning have been reported to the sheriff’s offices here by at least five witnesses from different points near Levelland.

Sheriff Weir Clem said he saw the light from the object himself when he and Deputy Pat McCulloch went out to investigate the sightings at 1:30 a.m., but that he ‘didn’t actually see the thing — only the light from it, as if a flare had been lighted.’

Clem also said that the object or its illumination was seen by two highway patrolmen and a constable from Anton, Lloyd Bollen.

Rep. J. T. Rutherford (D-Tex.), at his Odessa home, called for a statement from the Pentagon on this and other sightings. He said he was dispatching a telegram asking for an explanation from Air Force officials in Washington.

‘If this thing is American, there should be some explanation—at least to people in the area—that it is an American experiment so they will not be alarmed,’ the congressman declared.

‘If it’s not American, the people also should be notified so they can do something—declare open season on it.’ ”

U.S. Government UFO Document:
“TOP SECRET” Memorandum


4 November 1948
(U.S. Air Force, Washington, D.C.)

Source: wikimedia.org

Quote from the document:
         “For some time we have been concerned by the recurring reports on flying saucers. They periodically continue to cop up; during the last week, one was observed hovering over Neubiberg Air Base for about thirty minutes. They have been reported by so many sources and from such a variety of places that we are convinced that they cannot be disregarded and must be explained on some basis which is perhaps slightly beyond  the scope of our present intelligence thinking.

          When officers of this Directorate recently visited the Swedish Air Intelligence Service. This question was put to the Swedes. Their answer was that some reliable and fully technically qualified people have reached the conclusion that ‘these phenomena are obviously the result of a high technical skill which cannot be credited to any presently known culture on earth.’ They are therefore assuming that these objects originate from some previously unknown or unidentified technology, possibly outside the earth.”
