“New book alert – ‘UFOs Over Poland’ –
Piotr Cielebias”
By Keith Basterfield, 30 March 2016
(UFOs – scientific research, Campbelltown,
New South Wales, Australia)
Quote from the article:
“Cielebias holds an
MA in history, a BA in Political Sciences, and is a writer and journalist.
Official responses include:
* ‘According to many military informants, the Polish
Air Force of People’s Polish Army issued a special protocol for potential UFO
observers in uniform.’ (p.61.)
* ‘Official Polish government/military UFO files
remains a controversial topic. If these ever existed they were surely not
related to any specific project on unidentified aerial phenomena.’ (p.61.)
* ‘There is no doubt that the Polish Army has kept its
eye on ufologists in the past and is still doing so even today.’ (p.63.)

“The ‘Bolender Memo’ And A New Lease On Life”
By Paul Dean, 21 April 2016
(UFOs – Documenting The Evidence, Melbourne, Australia)
Quote from the article:
“On 2nd, December 1978, researcher Robert Todd submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to the United States Air Force (USAF) for any unreleased records created during the closure of Project Blue Book. A response came back from the USAF’s 1947th Administrative Support Group (1947ASG), dated 19th December, 1978, with a number of documents attached. One of them was a three-page ‘Department of the Air Force Air Staff Summary Sheet’ dated 20th December, 1969, prepared by a Maj. Espey and signed by Brigadier General Carroll H. Bolender, who was Deputy Director of Development, for the Deputy Chief of Staff, Research and Development, USAF. That ‘Air Staff Summary Sheet’ became widely known as the ‘Bolender Memo.’ The cover letter – and this is the first time this has ever been published – from the USAF to Todd stated:
‘Dear Mr. Todd,
Attached in response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request of 2 December, 1978, are copies of all records from Secretary of the Air Force files of or relating to the decision to terminate Project Blue Book, as well as all other UFO-related records located during the search.’ ”

“NORAD And The UFO Smokescreen – Part 6”
By Paul Dean, 18 March 2016
(UFOs – Documenting The Evidence, Melbourne, Australia)
Quote from the article:
“Previously, in Part 5 of this ambitious series, ‘NORAD
and the UFO Smokescreen,’ I discussed North American Aerospace Defence
Command’s (NORAD) role in the identification, tracking and categorisation of aerospace
activities across North America, and their sophisticated maintenance of ‘air
sovereignty’ through well-developed national defence doctrine. Within that complex
framework, I demonstrated that UFO’s can be ‘allowed for,’ and, have indeed
plagued NORAD in the past. Their own records prove that. Of course, by ‘UFO’ I
mean unidentifiable objects or other unusual, solid phenomena; completely
distinct from just strayed aircraft or other manmade activities. For readers
who are new to this series, my entire Parts 1 through to Part 5 can be found
here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, and Part 5.
NORADs Space Surveillance Mission
NORAD’s surveillance mission extends into space. In
this, Part 6, and an upcoming Part 7, I am investigating their monitoring of
space objects – manmade, natural, or possibly otherwise; with the ‘otherwise’
category being UFO’s.”

“PROJECT 10073 RECORD CARD:
DATE: 3 Apr 52/
LOCATION: Benson, Arizona”
(Project Blue Book, U.S. Air Force, Washington, D.C.)
Source: Fold3.com, Lindon, Utah
Quote from the document (Page 2):
“II. STATUS OF THE INVESTIGATION
The excellent forethought of the instructor to take continual
fixes on the object has eliminated the possibility of the object being an
aircraft or balloon since no motion was observed. In addition, an investigation
was made and it was determined that there were no balloons in the area.
It is possible that the object was a bright planet. This
is doubtful, however, since a planet would appear to move some in 51 minutes.
III. CONCLUSIONS
Pending.”
The UFO incident was witnessed by four U.S. Air Force
civilian pilots, according to the document.
The document contains a U.P. newspaper article (Page
4) titled “Air Force Men Sight Huge Flying Saucer.”
Quote from the 4 April 1952 United Press article:
“Two Air Force pilots said today they watched for an hour as a huge oval-shaped object, possibly five or six times the size of a B-29 bomber, hovered at about55,000
feet above them.
“Two Air Force pilots said today they watched for an hour as a huge oval-shaped object, possibly five or six times the size of a B-29 bomber, hovered at about
Chick Logan and C. M. Jasper, both veteran flight
commanders from Marana (Ariz.) Air Force Base, saw the object from the air.
Flight Instructor Paul Wilkerson, Tucson, and Skeet
Taylor, owner of a local airport, said they saw it from the ground.
Davis-Monthan Air Force Base at Tucson said some B-36s
were flying in the Benson area at an attitude of 40,000 feet .
Logan said, however, it did not have wings.
“The object was bright and shone like polished
aluminium.”
Wilkerson said it was too large for a weather balloon.”

UFO DNA UFO case report:
“8 August 1977 23:00
29 Palms, California , USA”
Source: NUFORC.org
The whole UFO case report:
“I was in the Marines and stationed at Marine Corps
Base 29 Palms, CA in the Summer of 1977. I and some friends were at a Drive-In
movie located in the town of 29 Palms outside the base. It was pretty late at
night. The movie screen was located about 5 feet away on the other
side of 5' high wooden fence that surrounded the parking area. I just happened
to look off to the upper right hand side of the screen and noticed that
something was hovering, with multi-colored blinking lights, above a darkened
building, about a mile away on the outskirts of town. (29 Palms, CA) I thought
to myself, ‘What the heck is a helicopter doing hovering over a building out in
town?’ I was used to seeing all kinds of helicopters on the base.
I then noticed that it continued to hover, there was
no sound or sand being kicked up. It appeared to be a ball of multi-colored
blinking lights. I couldn’t discern a shape. I absent mindedly started walking
towards the fence to get a better look. I then noticed that many other people
in the Drive-In saw it too and got out of their cars. The UFO then started to
rise straight up, silently. It did not flair out at an angle like a helicopter
would. It kept going up until it appeared to be the size and color of a star.
It then started zig-zagging across the sky while still going up, until it
finally disappeared.
I found out later that at the same time, people
located on the other side (to the left of the screen) of the drive-in area, saw
two UFOs hovering over a mountain, located to the left of the screen. They
reported that the 2 UFOs they saw, also rose straight up, silently, and
zig-zagged while going up until they were out of site. I thought to myself, ‘I
have to call the Base and tell someone!’ But I didn’t have any idea as to who
to call. We all talked about it the next day. I called a friend, who now lives
in N. Carolina, after 25 years and he still remembered the incident.

The whole article:
“Joe Swink, news editor of the Hugo Daily News,
reported Thursday that he and 15 others saw two ‘flying saucers’ over Fort
Hood, Tex.
Swink, just returned from Fort Hood where he took two
weeks reserve training, said he and others saw two whirling discs traveling at
tremendous speeds in daylight. He and other soldiers were on a field problem
when they saw two objects travel from horizon to horizon in a span of some 30
seconds.
‘The objects appeared silver in color,’ Swink said, ‘and
went through maneuvers no ordinary plane could accomplish, including a 90
degree turn from the horizontal to the vertical – then shot out of sight into
the upper atmosphere.’
Swink said Fort Hood officers said similar discs had
been sighted in the area before.”
Fort Hood (U.S. military post) is located on the west
side of Killeen, Texas.
