UFO News Article: “Area Lawman Sees UFO”

10 February 1967

(Sandusky Register, Ohio)

Quote from the article (Page 12):

“ ‘I saw a solid, bluish disc, in the opposite direction of the NASA reactor site. I know enough about physics to judge the difference between gas and solid matter—I just wish I would have had someone else with me to prove I saw it.’

THE ABOVE quote is Perkins Constable Gary Butler’s morning reaction to the unidentified flying object (UFO) he witnessed at approximately 3:40 a.m. today [10 February 1967] while on routine patrol.

Butler told the Register he was working his usual 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. shift and after dinner drove from South Campbell Street to Little Schenk Road.

‘As I was coming over a bridge, I noticed an object in the sky. At first, I thought it was the Bellevue railroad lights, but when I drove a little further, I got a better view.

‘THE DISC was approximately two miles from me, I judge it was about 20 feet in diameter and approximately 40 feet off the ground. I stopped my car, turned off the motor, but left my radio turned on—I heard no noise, the object didn’t move.

‘I sat watching it for a few minutes and truthfully, I was scared. I’ve never seen anything like it before an I newver [sic] want to see anything like it again. I waited a few minutes and then called the deputies and the patrol.

‘AFTER I made the call, the object which had hovered for six or seven minutes began to drop out of sight behind an outline of trees. When the other officers arrived, it was gone.’

…

Butler said he was mildly irritated with the steam cloud explanation. ‘I don’t want to say I think it was a flying saucer — honestly, I don’t know what it was. But it seems hard to believe it could have been steam clouds from a reactor a mile or more away in the opposite direction — besides, the wind was blowing in a southwesterly direction and would have carried the steam over near Huron. I saw the object in the direction of Bellevue.’

ON JAN. 30, the Register learned of an [sic] USO [UFO] sighted over the NASA grounds by Reinhardt N. Ausmus, Erie County Veterans Service Officer and his wife. The couple said they saw the object, described as a brilliant light, while driving home; they left their car to watch the object for several minutes. Ausmus is a member of the Early Birds, a club for World War I aviators.

Butler ended his comments on last night’s spotting by saying, ‘I know people will probably say I’m some kind of nut, but I really did see something. I have better things to do with my time than to call in fake UFO’s.’

THE YOUNG officer explained he was ‘wide awake — I had lots of sleep. I know I saw something, but I just don’t know what.’ Butler usually makes his patrol with another officer, but ‘unfortunately, the other officer was not with me last night.’

Butler stated he has talked with many residents around the Plum Brook Station who have supposedly seen UFO’s in their area. ‘Too many people are seeing them, I don’t know what to think.’ Butler also reported he listened to a traffic communication from Bellevue last night after the spotting and said ‘some Bellevue officers said they spotted UFO’s last night, but they were red in color and disappeared so fast they couldn’t get a good look.’ ”

NOTE: NICAP’s U.F.O. Investigator (issue: March-April 1967, 
Vol. III, No. 12) also reports on this UFO case (Page 6).

Constable Gary Butler experienced radio interference during the UFO sighting, according to the article.

UFO Case Directory (RADCAT): “Security Option 5 Alert At NORAD Late October 1975 Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado”

(NICAP.org)

The whole UFO case report:

“Fran Ridge:

October 1975; NORAD, Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado
According to an informant I interviewed in 1983 there had been a major incident at NORAD HQ which prompted a Security Option 5 alert and total ‘lock down’ at ‘the Mountain.’ We have proof that there were incidents at that time period that, to quote from released documents, ‘prompted the implementations of a Security Option 3 at our northern tier bases since 27 October.’ Sightings occurred at Loring AFB, Maine, Wurtsmith AFB, [Michigan, not New Hampshire], and then at Malmstrom AFB, Montana.”

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

Wikipedia article: “North American Aerospace Defense Command”:

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

Quote from the above Wikipedia article:

“North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD /ˈnɔːræd/), known until March 1981 as the North American Air Defense Command, is a combined organization of the United States and Canada that provides aerospace warning, air sovereignty, and protection for Northern America.[4] Headquarters for NORAD and the NORAD/United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) center are located at Peterson Air Force Base in El Paso County, near Colorado Springs, Colorado. The nearby Cheyenne Mountain Complex has the Alternate Command Center. The NORAD commander and deputy commander (CINCNORAD) are, respectively, a United States four-star general or equivalent and a Canadian three-star general or equivalent.

Organization

CINCNORAD maintains the NORAD headquarters at Peterson Air Force Base near Colorado Springs, Colorado. The NORAD and USNORTHCOM Command Center at Peterson AFB serves as a central collection and coordination facility for a worldwide system of sensors designed to provide the commander and the leadership of Canada and the U.S. with an accurate picture of any aerospace or maritime threat.[5] NORAD has administratively divided the North American landmass into three regions:

* Alaska NORAD (ANR) Region – Eleventh Air Force (11 AF)

* Canadian NORAD (CANR) Region – 1 Canadian Air Division 
   (1 Cdn Air Div)

* Continental U.S. (CONR) Region – First Air Force 
   (1 AF/CONR-AFNORTH)

Both the CONR and CANR regions are divided into eastern and western sectors.”

Wikipedia article: “Peterson Air Force Base”:

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

Quote from the Wikipedia article:

“Peterson Air Force Base is a U.S. Air Force Base that shares an airfield with the adjacent Colorado Springs Municipal Airport, home to the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), the Air Force Space Command headquarters, and United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) headquarters. Developed as a World War II air support base for Camp Carson, the facility conducted Army Air Forces training and supported Cold War air defense centers at the nearby Ent Air Force Base, Chidlaw Building, and Cheyenne Mountain Complex. The base has been the location of the Air Force Space Command headquarters since 1987 and has had NORAD/NORTHCOM command center operations since the 2006 Cheyenne Mountain Realignment placed the nearby Cheyenne Mountain Complex centers on standby.”

“Alphabetical List and Histories of All Nuclear SAC Bases by State or Country”

Text by NICAP.org:

“SAC was established on March 21, 1946 as one of three commands of the US Army Air Forces. Initially under General George Kenny at Bolling Field, Washington, D.C., SAC headquarters settled at Offutt AFB near Omaha, Nebraska under the command of General Curtis LeMay In October of 1948. The new separate Air Force was born September 18, 1947. Part of the SAC Mission certainly was to provide “long range offensive operations in any part of the world” in the form of a nuclear reach as a deterrent to future aggression.

The Alphabetical Review is a list of bases, air stations, and airports that the United States Air Force has occupied since 1947. Many bases have had name changes, so each separate name has been listed.

AB - Air Base, AS - Air Station, AFB - Air Force Base, AFS – Air Force Station, (M/I)AP - (Municipal/International) Airport, RAF - Royal Air Force Station/Base”

https://www.nicap.org/ncp/sac.htm

Wikipedia article: “Strategic Air Command”:

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

Quote from the above Wikipedia article:

“Strategic Air Command (SAC) was both a United States Department of Defense (DoD) Specified Command and a United States Air Force (USAF) Major Command (MAJCOM), responsible for Cold War command and control of two of the three components of the U.S. military's strategic nuclear strike forces, the so-called ‘nuclear triad,’ with SAC having control of land-based strategic bomber aircraft and intercontinental ballistic missiles or ICBMs (the third leg of the triad being submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBM) of the U.S. Navy).

SAC also operated all strategic reconnaissance aircraft, all strategic airborne command post aircraft, and all USAF aerial refueling aircraft, to include those in the Air Force Reserve (AFRES) and Air National Guard (ANG).

However, SAC did not operate the KB-50, WB-50 and WB-47 weather reconnaissance aircraft operated through the mid and late 1960s by the Air Weather Service, nor did SAC operate the HC-130 or MC-130 operations aircraft capable of aerial refueling helicopters that were assigned to Tactical Air Command (TAC), then Military Airlift Command (MAC), and from 1990 onward, those MC-130 aircraft operated by the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC), or any AFRES (now Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC)) or ANG tactical aerial refueling aircraft (e.g., HC-130, MC-130) operationally gained by TAC, MAC or AFSOC.

SAC primarily consisted of the Second Air Force (2AF), Eighth Air Force (8AF) and the Fifteenth Air Force (15AF), while SAC headquarters (HQ SAC) included Directorates for Operations & Plans, Intelligence, Command & Control, Maintenance, Training, Communications, and Personnel. At a lower echelon, SAC headquarters divisions included Aircraft Engineering, Missile Concept,[1] and Strategic Communications.

In 1992, as part of an overall post-Cold War reorganization of the U.S. Air Force, SAC was disestablished as both a Specified Command and as a MAJCOM, and its personnel and equipment redistributed among the Air Combat Command (ACC), Air Mobility Command (AMC), Pacific Air Forces (PACAF), United States Air Forces in Europe (USAFE), and Air Education and Training Command (AETC), while SAC's central headquarters complex at Offutt AFB, Nebraska was concurrently transferred to the newly created United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), which was established as a joint Unified Combatant Command to replace SAC's Specified Command role.

In 2009, SAC's previous USAF MAJCOM role was reactivated and redesignated as the Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC), with AFGSC eventually acquiring claimancy and control of all USAF bomber aircraft and the USAF strategic ICBM force.[2]”

Wikipedia article: “Offutt Air Force Base”:

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

Quote from the Wikipedia article:

“Offutt Air Force Base /ˈʌfæt/ (IATA: OFF, ICAO: KOFF, FAA LID: OFF) is a U.S. Air Force base near Omaha, and lies adjacent to Bellevue in Sarpy County, Nebraska. It is the headquarters of the U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), the 557th Weather Wing, and the 55th Wing (55 WG) of the Air Combat Command (ACC), the latter serving as the host unit.

Strategic Air Command

At one minute past midnight, on 9 November 1948, Offutt gained international prominence when it became the host base for Headquarters Strategic Air Command, which was moved from Andrews AFB, Maryland. Secretary of the Air Force Stuart Symington chose to locate the Air Force's crucial long-range atomic strike force at Offutt primarily because the base was centrally located on the North American continent, placing it well beyond the existing range of long-range, nuclear-armed bombers to (then) stay safely out of range of hostile missiles or bomber aircraft.”

“Air Guard Members Wary Of Identifying

Strange Object Over Key Field”

14 April 1950

(The Clarion-Ledger, Jackson, Mississippi)

Source: Newspapers.com

The whole article:
“Not that they were afraid of being criticized or disbelieved, but members of the 153rd Fighter Squadron Thursday would neither confirm nor deny the identity of flying object sighted at 8:25 Wednesday night [12 April 1950] over Key Field as a flying saucer. However, several pilots confirmed sighting an unidentified object ‘of extreme speed’ identified only by a white flickering light, not a normal aircraft light, as it raced south-southeastward.

The object ‘definitely out of propeller type aircraft classification’ due to its speed, was seen but 15 seconds during its flight near Key Field.

Several F-47 Air National Guard fighter planes were in the air and were radioed to proceed toward the southeast quadrant to get a view of the lighted but otherwise unidentified flying object. These planes were in the area within 30 seconds, but failed to sight the intruder the object was at an estimated 2,500 feet altitude. The light followed a straight course, bearing southward and slightly east on a horizontal plane, indicating it was a piloted or controlled object rather than a meteor.

‘It was definitely not propeller driven due to the speed,’ veteran pilots observed. ‘It could have been a jet plane but there were no regular red and green running lights and the flickering light streak was unexplained. Also jets generally fly at a much higher altitude.”

NOTE: Key Field was a Strategic Air Command (SAC) base, according to NICAP.org.

Wikimedia article: “Meridian Regional Airport” [Key Field]:

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

Quote from the Wikipedia article:

“Meridian Regional Airport[1] (IATA: MEI[3], ICAO: KMEI, FAA LID: MEI) is a public use airport located at Key Field,[2] a joint use public/military airfield. It is located 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) southwest of Meridian, a city in Lauderdale County, Mississippi, United States.[2] The airport is owned by the Meridian Airport Authority.[2] At 10,003 feet (3,049 m), Key Field is home to the longest public use runway in Mississippi.[4] It is mostly used for general aviation and military traffic, but is also served by one commercial airline with scheduled passenger service subsidized by the Essential Air Service program.

Air National Guard use

Key Field is home to the Mississippi Air National Guard's 186th Air Refueling Wing (186 ARW), at the Air National Guard enclave, Key Field Air National Guard Base. Operationally gained by the Air Mobility Command (AMC), the 186 ARW operates a fleet of KC-135R Stratotanker aerial refueling and cargo aircraft.[4]

Key Field is also home to the Mississippi Army National Guard's 111th Army Aviation Support Facility, Company B. The 111th operates a fleet of CH-47 Chinook helicopters, a multipurpose transport/cargo helicopter capable of carrying 55 troops and gear or can also sling-load up to 25,000 pounds.[4]

Navy T-45 Goshawk aircraft from nearby NAS Meridian and Air Force T-6A, T-1A and T-38C aircraft from Columbus AFB also frequently practice approaches and other procedures over Key Field.

Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) capabilities are provided by the Air National Guard. Due to their mission as an air refueling wing, the ANG ARFF assets provide the entire airport with firefighting capabilities that will rival any airport in the Southeastern United States.”

UFO Case Directory (RADCAT): “Military Radar At Knoxville Tracks Eleven Objects October 12, 1950 Knoxville, Tennessee”

(NICAP.org)

The whole UFO case report:

“Bruce Maccabee:

October 12, 1950; Knoxville, Tennessee (BBU)

11:25 PM. A military radar unit at Knoxville Airport suddenly detected 11, ‘and possibly more,’ unidentified targets moving over the restricted flight zone at Oak Ridge. This time action was taken. At 11:30, the radar station commander scrambled an F-82 fighter. It was in the air nine minutes later. The fighter was vectored toward two targets and, according to the radar, closed with the targets, but the pilot saw nothing. Ground observations also failed to detect anything in the sky. No unusual objects were seen visually or on radar for the next two days. Then the ‘dam broke.’ On October 15, at 3:25 PM, three Oak Ridge security guards and a caretaker saw an exceedingly strange object. (See Oct 15 below)

Fran Ridge:

See actual FBI document below, cleaned up by Jean Waskiewicz. For a chronological list of events surrounding Oak Ridge in 1950, see Oak Ridge Page below.”

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