UFO Article:
“UFOs & NATO: The Mainbrace Affair”


By Nick Redfern, 22 April 2014
(Mysterious Universe, St. Leonards, Australia)

Several UFO incidents were witnessed during the 1952 NATO military exercise, “Exercise Mainbrace” (also called “Operation Mainbrace” by the U.S. DoD).

The locations of the military exercise were the North Atlantic Ocean, GIUK Gap, Norwegian Sea, Barents Sea, North Sea, Jutland Peninsula and Baltic Sea, according to Wikipedia.


Wikipedia article: “Exercise Mainbrace”:


Quote from the Wikipedia article:
Exercise Mainbrace was the first large-scale naval exercise undertaken by the newly established Allied Command Atlantic (ACLANT), one of the two principal military commands of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). It was part of a series of NATO exercises jointly commanded by Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic Admiral Lynde D. McCormick, USN, and Supreme Allied Commander Europe General Matthew B. Ridgeway, U.S. Army, during the Fall of 1952 (14-25 September).”

NOTE: The official name of the 1952 NATO military exercise was “Exercise Mainbrace” (google.com). The U.S. Department of Defense uses both “Exercise Mainbrace” and “Operation Mainbrace” (google.com) (google.com).

UFO News Article:
“New Planet or Huge Shooting Star
Is Seen in Sky at Santa Fe, N. M.”


13 October 1906
(The Albuquerque Evening Citizen, New Mexico)

Source: theufochronicles.com

The whole article:
“Considerable excitement was caused here late yesterday afternoon and last night by the appearance of a strange planet in the heavens to the south of the city. The object was first seen by the Indians at the United States school, two miles south of here. They reported it to Frank Crandall, chief clerk at the school, who immediately focused a large glass on the object. When first seen the object had the appearance of a large star, but so rapidly did it approach the earth that by night the planet looked like a large white electric light globe and was surrounded by a wide circle of light. The strange object was visible in this city from the capitol and federal buildings, the two largest structures in the city.

Many people watched the ball of fire from 6 o’clock until after 9 o’clock when it was hidden behind the clouds. This morning it was not visible. It is not believed that it was a comet, since, apparently, it had no tail and throw off no fire, appearing more like an incandescent electric light, with a soft glow. The local weather officials are unable to give any information about the object except to advance the theory that it might be a falling planet, which in all probability it was. The Indians were terrorized by the strange sight and would not enter their homes until after it had been enveloped by the clouds.”

UFO Case Directory
(SIGHTINGS FROM AIRCRAFT):
“AF Pilots See Light Descend, Maneuver
June 10, 1954
Estacado, Texas”


(NICAP.org)

The whole UFO case report:
Brad Sparks:
June 10, 1954; Estacado, Texas (BBU 3042)
9:09 p.m. USAF pilot Capt. Bill McDonald, in flight, saw a white light descend at 45° from great altitude, pass under his aircraft, make two 360° turns and blink out. (Berliner)

Fran Ridge:
This was a CIRVIS report and listed as an UNKNOWN by Project Blue Book (BBU 3042). After we found the three documents in the Blue Book files I was able to find a few more details. There were actually two pilots which improves the rating somewhat. The other one was Capt. Howard Hendrix. The aircraft (not given in the report) was on a heading of 270 degrees when the white light came from very high altitude at 45-degrees going west to east and passed under the plane and then proceeded to almost touched the ground. The speed was estimated at 500 to 600 knots, then slowed down and made the two 360 degree turns before blinking out. Time in sight was probably more than 30 seconds but the maneuvers preclude any type of meteor or aircraft.”

No radar return of the unknown object was registered. And no EMI was registered.

NICAP.org presents U.S. government (U.S. Air Force) documents that pertain to the UFO case.

Estacado is located in Crosby and Lubbock Counties, North West Texas.

UFO Case Directory
(SIGHTINGS FROM AIRCRAFT):
“UFO Buzzes DC-3
Jan. 20, 1951
Sioux City, Iowa”


(NICAP.org)

The whole UFO case report:
Fran Ridge:
Not listed as an ‘Unknown’ by Project Blue Book, this case was important to the Air Force. Blue Book Captain Ed Ruppelt said that, ‘it didn’t take an expert to see that a B-36, even one piloted by an experienced idiot, could not do what the UFO had done - buzz a DC-3 that was in an aircraft traffic pattern.’ That was the AF explanation and the case was closed.

Brad Sparks:
Jan. 20, 1951; Sioux City, Iowa (BBU)
9:20-9:26 p.m. (CST). Capt. Lawrence W. Vinther, copilot James F. Bachmeier, passengers AF Colonel and aide, and CAA tower controller John M. Williams. At 9:20 the 2 CAA tower controllers sighted light in the W [NW?]. After Vinther’s Mid-Continent Airlines DC-3 took off, he was asked by the tower to look for light, then while still in a climbing 360° turn at about 1,000 ft they spotted object to the NNW at about 8,000 ft and 4 miles away that looked like a B-29 fuselage with wings but no engines, which blinked some lights like running lights. Object came at the DC-3, flew across the nose within 200 ft, they had to turn their heads to follow it then suddenly found it instantly appeared on the other side again, paralleled them for 2-3 secs, then flew under them and disappeared in 2-3 secs to the NW. (Battelle Unknown No. 3; cf. NARCAP)”

NOTE: The BBU catalogue (mentioned in Sparks’ text) is Brad Sparks’ Comprehensive Catalog of 1,700 Project Blue Book UFO Unknowns: Database Catalog (Not a Best Evidence List) (nicap.org).

Five observers (airline pilots and multiple tower operators) witnessed the UFO incident. No radar return of the unknown object was registered.

NICAP.org presents U.S. government (U.S. Air Force) documents (that include several news articles) that pertain to the UFO case.

Panagiotakis’ interview with Pascagoula UFO witness Emmanuel P. Sigalas is presented in the article. Sigalas and two other witnesses saw the UFO a short time before the Charles Hickson/Calvin Parker incident occurred, according to the interview. Sigalas, Raymond Broadus and a woman named Joan were travelling in a car when they sighted the cylindrical shaped UFO. The unknown object chased the car for a while before changing its course and heading towards the area where Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker were fishing.
