“3 Prairie Girls Report UFO Landing”, 
5 October 1967
(The Telegraph-Herald, Dubuque, Iowa and
East Dubuque, Illinois)

The UFO sighting occurred about 3 miles north of Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin on 30 September 1967, at around 7:30 p.m., according to the article:
‎
http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=dgdRAAAAIBAJ&sjid=xsAMAAAAIBAJ&pg=1296,715030

Quote from the article:
“An oval-shaped object suddenly appeared and settled just above the surface of the field. There it hovered.

It measured about 12 by 15 feet and rhythmically changed in color from orange to yellow.

A large searchlight appeared to be mounted on the object, which yielded a loud buzzing sound, similar to bees.

As it hovered motionless above the field, an object dropped from the bottom and spun around.

Knickerbocker said Louie Mattie, who operates the Lakeview Resort, reported he was watching television at the time.

Mattie said the screen suddenly blacked out, but no other lights were affected. The screen’s light returned after about 1½ minutes, Mattie told Knickerbocker.”

The oblong, triangular (wedge) shaped UFO was sighted over the Columbus, Georgia area on 27 March 1966, at around 5:30 a.m., according to the article:

http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=cOtWAAAAIBAJ&sjid=JkINAAAAIBAJ&pg=6096,5918075

“Six Columbus policemen, and a control tower operator at Ft. Benning, Ga., also said they saw the strange object.”

Doyle Palmer, an air traffic control operator at Muscogee County Airport, said he first spotted the greenish white, cigar shaped object at about 5:30 a.m., and that it was tracked on radar at Atlanta for over an hour. He estimated its height at about 5,000 feet.

Columbus police detective G.H. Ferguson said he spotted the object after hearing radio reports about it. He described the glowing thing as wedge-shaped and said he saw it rising in the air. He reported it was much brighter and moved faster than a star.

Don Haddock of radio station WDAK also said he watched a triangle-shaped glowing object in the same area until 7 a.m.”

Quote from the article:
“ ‘It’s important to bear in mind,’ e-mails Nick Pope, who once worked the UK’s UFO agency, ‘that MoD’s policy since the Fifties has been not only to downplay the UFO phenomenon itself (as being of ‘no defense significance’) but to downplay the extent of the MoD’s interest and involvement in the subject. This led to the somewhat bizarre position where officials had to effectively belittle their own job to ensure that what they said was consistent with the official line.’ ”

O’Byrnes Ferry Road rancher Garland Henington also sighted a UFO at around 3:00 a.m.

Quote from the article:
“And members of the George Bedford family, also Green Springs Rd. residents report hearing a ‘whirling’ sound also described by Herburger.

Herburger described the cigar-shaped spacecraft that first came into view as 50 feet long, 15 feet thick and hanging still in the morning sky about 500 yards west of the road. The saucers, appearing to be about 50 feet in diameter, came into view moments later.

Henington today told The Union Democrat that he and his wife saw another UFO, much like the one he had encountered at 3 a.m., several days after the initial incident.”
