UFO Report:
“The 1992 UFO Chronology”
Created: 15 November 2008
(NICAP.org)
Quote from the UFO report:
“This is currently a 10-page chronology of UFO
incidents and events for 1992. Our thanks for these chronologies must go to
Richard Hall (the original 1992 chronology from UFOE II), Dan Wilson (archive
researcher), and Jean Waskiewicz (online NICAP DBase [NSID]. You will note the
many foreign reports that we are now being able to access. Our special thanks
to Dan Wilson for getting those to us. As more come in, this page will be
updated. Previous chronologies (1947 to 1969) involved the expertise of two
other team members; Rebecca Wise (Project Blue Book Archive) and Brad Sparks
(Comprehensive Catalog of Project Blue Book Unknowns). Bob Gribble’s entries
are those filed with the National UFO Reporting
Center in Seattle , Washington ,
now operated by Peter Davenport. Trace cases are now being entered with the
help of Ted Phillips, Center for Physical Trace Research and retrofitted into
previous chronologies as time permits. Since I was Indiana State Director
(MUFON) at that time, some of our Indiana
cases are listed here.

Prefecture , Japan
Late at night a farmer that had experienced strange
cattle mutilations in the past was awakened by the sound of his dog barking.
The farmer went to investigate and upon entering the cow shed saw a small white
‘object’ resembling a jellyfish with numerous tentacle-like protrusions coming
out of its bottom. The ‘object’ was floating in the air; it then drifted
outside where it vanished. A cow was discovered on the floor. It had a badly
broken leg. (Source: Jenny Randles, Peter A. Hough, World Best True UFO

10:00 AM. Mr. Hooker, the chief photographer for
WFRV-TV, videotaped a cigar-shaped UFO in Bellevue ,
Wisconsin , which is a suburb of Green Bay . The UFO
traveled from right to left in the frame, passing behind a windmill. Its
estimated altitude was 25,000
feet , and it had a speed of 7,000 mph . (Source:

A jet aircraft tentatively identified as a U.S. Air
Force F-14 Tomcat was seen pursuing a domed disc-shaped UFO. The UFO would make
multiple stops, and as the jet closed in the saucer split in half. The top half
flew off toward the southwest and the other half flew off to the east. The F-14
jet remained circling in the area, and then flew off to the east. (Source:

10:50 PM. Strange lights were seen and videotaped. The
lights maneuvered about the sky, and faded in and out. Wanaque Reservoir has
been the scene of many repeated UFO sightings, especially in the 1960s.

4:30 PM. Several workers at the Lukens Steel Company
plant saw a disc-shaped UFO land on the factory grounds around quitting time.
The security guard said that the object touched down briefly and then took off
in the direction of the old Coatesville
Hospital . The company, a
defense contractor, refused to let UFO investigators talk with any of the
witnesses or answer further questions about what they saw. Attempts to set up
interviews outside of the plant were also unsuccessful. (Thomas Carey, MUFON;
West Chester Daily Local News, June 12, 1992.)
Aug. 29, 1992; Mount Seymour ,
British Columbia
2:30 AM. Three cylinders were seen in the sky at close
range after a home burglar alarm system and lights were effected. The policeman
witness was unable to wake his wife, but their baby reacted to the close
encounter, and their dog became sick. The incident lasted 30 minutes. (Sources:

“ ‘Tamal’-Type UFO Blamed for Blackout”
3 April 1992
(The Tico Times, Costa Rica )
Sources: U.F.O.
Newsclipping Service, Plumerville , Arkansas and AFU.se
The whole article (Page 13):
“An
unidentified flying object (UFO) using what officials describe as a ‘tractor
beam’ sapped electrical energy from the Arenal hydroelectric plant early
Thursday morning [2 April 1992], causing a nationwide blackout that lasted half
an hour, officials said.
‘It was the
most incredible thing I ever saw,’ said Arenal plant manager Ingenuo Tomapelo.
‘The thing just hovered there for several minutes shining this tractor beam
down onto the main generator.’
Tomapelo
said he witnessed the event from the window of the plant’s control room where
he watched helplessly as the gauges registered dropping energy output.
‘It looked
like a tamal, just like the kind my grandmother used to make, except that it
glowed,’ said Tomapelo. ‘They drained all our power in a matter of minutes.’
NATIONAL
Emergency Commission President Jorge Trejos said the commission received reports
of UFO sightings from the Guanacaste provincial capital of Liberia to the small town of La Fortuna at the foot of the Arenal volcano.
From these reports
the Emergency Commission approximated the route of the UFO. It was first
reported spotted over Liberia
around 12:15 a.m., spotted over Canas at 12:16 and made its appearance at the
Arenal plant only two minutes later.
After
several minutes of hovering over the plant, it sent down its tractor beam at
12:21. Three minutes later, the lights went out all over the country and the
UFO immediately abandoned the Arenal plant.
AT about
12:30, Ernesto de la Verdad, manager of the El Volcan restaurant in La Fortuna,
reported seeing the UFO hover briefly over Arenal Volcano before disappearing
inside the crater.
‘We were
watching the volcano with some tourists, and all of a sudden we see this glowing
object over the crater,’ de la Verdad told The Tico Times. ‘At first we thought
it had something to do with an eruption, but then we saw we could make out its
shape. It looked like a tamal, exactly like my grandmother used to make, except
that it glowed.’
One alert
tourist, April Fuller, from Oshkosh ,
Wisconsin took a picture of the
alien craft.
MINISTER of
Public Security Luis Fishman ordered Civil Guardsmen to the top of the volcano
to investigate the strange occurrence and enlisted the assistance of tour
operator Gabino Hidalgo ,
who offers a controversial crater tour that many believe to be dangerous (TT,
March 20).
President
Rafael Angel Calderon told reporters that he had no knowledge of the UFO, but
welcomed any positive contributions the aliens could make to the country.”
My comment: The newspaper presents April Fuller’s UFO
photograph (shows a self-luminous (disk shaped?) object).

Quote from the Wikipedia article:
“Hydroelectricity
Lake Arenal
was tripled in size with the construction of the Arenal dam in 1979, which
exists at the eastern end of the lake. This hydroelectric project is hugely
important to Costa Rica ,
initially generating 70% of the country’s electricity, now closer to 17%, and
was also a driving force behind Costa
Rica 's green energy policy.[3]”

9:40-10:00 p.m. (EST). USAF senior pilot at Moody AFB,
Major Hal W. Lamb, apparently saw the setting planet Venus changing color and
shape (at 267°-270° azimuth 3° elevation
dropping below horizon, his estimates varying from 250° to 295°-310°
azimuth) while flying a T-33, also seen by Turner AFB tower operators (with
time errors of about 10 mins). At about 9:40-9:48 (reported as 9:50-9:58) two
GCA radar maintenance men at Turner AFB radar tracked 3 moving targets and a
stationary target (at due W 270° azimuth 26 miles ?). At 10:00
(reported as 10:10), the GCA reported 2 stationary targets at 17 and 27 (or 23

Dan Wilson:
Jan. 28, 1953; Albany ,
Georgia
At 9:50 p.m. EST, Albany radio called Turner AFB tower and
asked the operators on duty to look west of the field and see if they observed
any strange objects. A circular object changing colors from glowing orange to
white was observed at 250 degrees azimuth 15 degrees above the horizon. The
tower operators watched the object for a period of eight minutes until it
disappeared. During this eight minute period GCA was contacted and two
maintenance men were doing work on the radar and turned the set on and they
reported that they picked up 3 or 4 objects on the scope, 3 moving and 1
stationary. These objects were at approximately 300 degrees at 27 miles . (Dan Wilson)
At 21:35 hours (9:35 p.m.) EST, a pilot flying a T-33
jet aircraft reported that he observed an unusually bright light NW of Albany,
Georgia. At first the object appeared to be circular in shape and white in
color. When the object was first sighted the T-33 was at 4000 feet and the object
appeared to be slightly above the aircraft. At the end of the observation the
aircraft was at 10,000
feet and the object appeared to be below the plane. The
last 15 seconds of observation the object changed from circular in shape to
triangular and then split in two triangles one above the other and then they
disappeared suddenly. According to the sighting report radar contact was made
with the object by Albany
Airport . (Dan Wilson)”

“Naval Air Station
History
Turner Field (1941-1946)
In mid-1940 the U.S. Army Air Corps approached the
city of Albany about the possibility of building
a training base near Albany .
The city raised the necessary money and purchased 4,900 acres of land which was
then leased to the Army for $51 a year. Construction of the base and airfield,
named Air Corps Advanced Flying School, Albany by the United States Army Corps
of Engineers began on 25 March 1941.[1] On 21 July 1941, the field was named
Turner Field in honor of Lt. Sullivan Turner, a Georgia native killed in a
midair collision.[2]
Once operational, Turner Field was used for
acclimatization training (for foreign trainees) and advanced flight training as
part of the 30th Flying Training Wing. Primary flight training in the
Boeing-Stearman PT-17 Kaydet was done at Darr Aero Tech also in Albany.[3]
Under the Arnold Scheme some 5,000 Royal Air Force trainees were trained at
Turner Field and Darr Aero Tech between 1941 and 1943.[4] In 1944 Turner Field
began training Free French Air Forces pilots to fly the North American B-25
Mitchell of which more than 100 were based at Turner Field.[5]
Turner Field was deactivated on 15 August 1946 and
maintained in caretaker status.[2]
Turner Air Force Base (1947-1966)
On 1 April 1947, the airfield was reactivated.[2] On
13 January 1948, it was renamed Turner Air Force Base.
On 20 November 1947 the 31st Tactical Fighter Wing
equipped with North American F-51 Mustangs moved there from Langley Field and
would remain there until 25 August 1948.[6]
In 1950 the base was transferred from Continental Air
Command (CAC) to Strategic Air Command (SAC).[7]
The 40th Air Division was based at Turner from 14
March 1951 to 1 April 1957.[8]
The 508th Fighter-Escort Wing (later renamed the 508th
Strategic Fighter Wing) was based at Turner from July 1952 until 11 May
1956.[6]:275
The 4080th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing was
established at Turner in May 1956 and based there until 1 April 1957.
The base was transferred from SAC to Tactical Air
Command (TAC) in 1957 when SAC gave up its escort mission, however, the base
would be returned to SAC on 1 January 1959 when the 822d Air Division was
established there on 1 January 1959.[7]:74–5 The 822nd Air Division would
remain at Turner until it was inactivated on 2 September 1966.[9] One of the
component units of the 822nd Air Division was the 4138th Strategic Wing which
was activated at Turner and received its first combat aircraft when the 336th
Bombardment Squadron, equipped with 15 B-52 Stratofortresses moved to Turner
from Biggs AFB, Texas. In February 1963, the 4138th Strategic Wing and 336th
Bombardment Squadron were inactivated and the 484th Bombardment Wing was
activated at Turner to assume the mission, aircraft, personnel and equipment of
the 4138th wing.[6]:270–1
In December 1965 it was announced that Turner Air
Force Base would be closed.[7]:111
Naval Air Station Albany (1967-1974)
RVAH-14 RA-5C Vigilante over NAS Albany in 1969
The base was recommissioned as Naval Air Station
Albany on 1 July 1967.[10]
With the impending closure of Naval Air Station
Sanford, Reconnaissance Attack Wing One moved to NAS Albany and it became the
main operational base for the Navy's North American RA-5C Vigilante until 1974
when operations were moved to NAS Key West, Florida.”
