Two quoted letters:

 “Sirs:

‘Have We Visitors from Space?’ (LIFE, April 7) is the most comprehensive reports I have read on the subject. I was very closely associated with Projects ‘Twinkle’ and ‘Grudge’ at Alamogordo, N. Mex. where I was chief of the technical photographic facility at Holloman Air Force Base. I have seen several of these objects myself, and they are everything you say they are as to shape, size and speed.

Daniel A. McGovern

Captain, USAF

Alexandria, Va.

Sirs:

I first learned about the green fireballs from Marine Corps night fighter pilots while I was an aviation intelligence officer in Korea.

Pilots often reported seeing strange bright green objects in the skies, unlike anything they had ever seen before, and moving too fast and regularly to be exlained or identified or analyzed by the pilots themselves or the intelligence officers.

Edward A. Kolar

Captain, USMCR

UFO Journal Article: “ON THE UFOS”

December 1967

(Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, Chicago, Illinois)

Source: Google Books

Quote from the article:

“Dr. (Carl) Sagan claims that the Central Intelligence Agency Robertson Panel, which met in 1953, concluded after a thorough study that UFOs, ‘all were probably natural phenomena wrongly interpreted.’ This claim simplifies the work of the panel to the point of distortion.”

The official name of the Robertson Panel was Scientific Advisory Panel on Unidentified Flying Objects.

The Bulletin article also mentions the 2 July 1952 Tremonton, Utah, UFO film (filmed by U.S. Navy Warrant Officer Delbert C. Newhouse).

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists was founded by former Manhattan Project physicists in 1945.

UFO Documentary Film (Radio Interview): Ivan T. Sanderson’s Investigative Report On the 12 September 1952 Flatwoods, West Virginia, UFO Case

Published on 18 April 2012

(Paranormal TV) (paranormaltvchannel (YouTube channel))

Video text:

“Here’s a video presentation of renowned author, newspaper & magazine reporter and investigator Ivan Sanderson’s 1953 audio report (during a radio interview in New York) of what he discovered only 1 year earlier in 1952. The Braxton County (West Virginia) incident is world famous and continues to be evaluated with the top UFO investigators. Considered one of the world’s most unusual happenings, the UFO (sometimes referred to the Braxton County Monster and not to be confused with that other famous West Virginia monster, ‘The Mothman’) was seen by at least 14 people. Hear Ivan Sanderson talk about what the kids saw... and how they (and a dog) reacted. The date was September 12, 1952. What the boys saw was described as a ‘shooting star’ that fell to earth on the top of the hill adjacent to the playground. About the length of a football field away, they all saw an object that was glowing and hissing. Walking closer to check out the ‘star,’ they noted that it was about 10 feet around. A few feet away from this glowing object they saw two lights, much like the glow of flashlights, about 12 inches apart. One of the boys had a flashlight and when he turned it on the object a huge creature with ‘...a bright red face, bright green clothing, a head which resembled the ace of spades, and clothing which, from the waist down, hung in great folds’ was seen. Newspapers sent special reporters to cover the story.”

UFO News Article: “Retired Air Force officer claims he saw infamous UFO sighting”

6 December 2016

(New York Post, New York City, New York)

Steve Longero, U.S. Air Force Police Sergeant, witnessed the 
26 December 1980 Rendlesham Forest, UK, UFO incident, according to the New York Post.

The Rendlesham Forest, UK, UFO incidents occurred on

26 December (reported as 27 December by Charles I. Halt)
and 28 December 1980 (early hours), according to an article (rendlesham-forest-mod-article) by Nick Pope called “Rendlesham Forest - MoD Article.” 

The twin bases of RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge were 
joint Royal Air Force-U.S. Air Force bases at the time of the UFO incidents.

http://nypost.com/2016/12/06/retired-air-force-officer-claims-he-saw-infamous-ufo-sighting/

Wikipedia article: “RAF Bentwaters”:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Bentwaters

Wikipedia article: “RAF Woodbridge”:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Woodbridge

Quote from the “RAF Bentwaters” (Wikipedia) article:

“The mission of the 81st FIW (81st Fighter-Interceptor Wing, U.S. Air Force) was to provide air defence of the United Kingdom. It performed this mission jointly with the RAF, working with No. 11 Group RAF Fighter Command. The wing was the first unit of F-86’s assigned to NATO and the first foreign air unit to participate in the peacetime air defence of the United Kingdom.

In October 1954 the mission of the 81st changed from fighter-interceptor to fighter-bomber operations, carrying both conventional and nuclear weapons. The wing was charged with tactical operations in support of USAFE and NATO, with air defence as a secondary mission. To reflect this change, the unit was redesignated the 81st Fighter-Bomber Wing and traded in its F-86s for the Republic F-84F ‘Thunderstreak.’

On 8 July 1958 Bentwaters was operated as ‘twin base’ with RAF Woodbridge and as a single unit under the newly designated 81st Tactical Fighter Wing. Along with the 91st and 92nd squadrons, the 78th Tactical Fighter Squadron was transferred from RAF Shepherds Grove when the USAF returned Shepherds Grove to the Ministry of Defence (MOD). The 78th TFS operated from Woodbrige, while the 91st and 92nd squadrons operated from Bentwaters.”

UFO Article (Blog): “ ‘OPREP-3’ – A Classified US Military Reporting Channel For UFO Incidents? – Part 8”

By Paul Dean, 6 December 2016

(UFOs – Documenting The Evidence, Melbourne, Australia)

Quote from the article:

“Previously, in Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 of this series, I looked at the US military’s OPREP–3 reporting system, and, in particular, its use in alerting top–echelon military commands of serious UFO incidents. During the 1970’s, the OPREP–3 system was used to convey urgent and current information regarding perceived UFO activity near a number of United States Air Force (USAF) bases assigned to the Strategic Air Command (SAC), as well as a United States Navy facility. In Part 4, I highlighted a formally classified joint North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) and Aerospace Defence Command (ADCOM) manual which specifically asked that ‘unidentified flying objects – UFOs’ events be submitted by regional NORAD Commanders via the OPREP-3 system. In Part 5, Part 6 and Part 7 of this series, I moved away from the reporting of UFOs via the OPREP–3 system, and began to discuss the US government’s response, concern, evaluation and investigation of these intrusive aerial events. These alarming UFO incidents, known euphemistically as the ‘over flights,’ as well as the widespread reaction they triggered within the US government, can only be studied through the examination of begrudgingly declassified documents. The release of these records, which number in the many hundreds, only occurred due to the implementation of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by a handful of dogged researchers. In particular, Robert Todd, Barry Greenwood, Lawrence Fawcett and Todd Zechel spearheaded this extraordinary and voluminous research effort, often at great cost.

In this Part 8, I will begin to look at how the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) and Aerospace Defence Command (ADCOM) assessed and responded to the apparent UFO activity during 1975. It is worth stating that I will soon discuss, at much greater length, NORAD and ADCOM’s actions in another series of blog posts I author titled ‘NORAD and the UFO Smokescreen.’ ”

UFO News Article: “Spartanburg residents see strange lights”

3 March 1992

(Times-News, Hendersonville, North Carolina)

Quote from the article:
“At least three people – including a National Weather Service meteorologist – reported seeing unusual lights and objects flying or hovering in Spartanburg skies last week (late February/

early March 1992).

Each of the people who told about the sightings stopped short of saying they witnessed unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, but could not explain the phenomena.”

Meteorologist Corey Lefkof saw an orange and red light (no flashing, just a glow) travelling west to east near the Greenville-Spartanburg Airport at around 10:30 p.m.

Lydia Kaplan, a Herald-Journal secretary, saw a disk above the tree line in the western sky at around 4:30 a.m. 

Ann Sellers, a Spartanburg bookkeeper, and her husband were driving on Interstate 26 near Landrum when she saw a pulsing, bright, white light which moved erratically in the eastern sky.
