UFO Article: “The Science of UFOs”

By Robert L. Salas, 6 April 2018

(The UFO Chronicles, 9 April 2018)

Quote from the article:

“March 24, 1967 - Flight Security Controller, Oscar Flight, near Roy, Montana to Lt. Robert Salas, Deputy Missile Crew Commander – ‘Sir, we are seeing some strange lights flying over the LCF. They are traveling very fast across the sky, stopping on a dime and reversing course, making ninety-degree turns, and making no engine noise. I don’t think they are aircraft.’

This was the report I remember receiving from my topside guard over fifty-one years ago. Anyone who has ever flown a high-speed aircraft or has familiarity aircraft of any type would find this report incredible. However, very similar observations have now been reported many times by credible witnesses. We need to move on from being awed by the ‘lights in the sky’ reflex. It may be time to try and attempt a scientific explanation of the observable flight characteristics of UFOs.”

UFO News Article: “Untold Stories: The day I saw an unidentified flying object”

9 June 2017

(ABC News, Sydney, Australia)

The article reports on Australia Department of Civil Aviation radar controller Alan Potter’s August 1969 UFO experience.

Potter was tracking a Fokker Friendship flight when the radar pinged a much larger unknown object.

After a while, a much smaller object than the Fokker appeared to leave the large echo before flying towards the airplane.

Potter saw that the two signals met in the skies over Rapid Bay, south of Adelaide, and then watched the smaller object return to the larger object.

The rotation of the radar took five seconds. In that time – the large unknown object travelled 70 nautical miles to the north east. In the next pass the object had disappeared off the screen.  

A lot of UFO incidents occurred in Adelaide in the late 1960s, according to the article.
