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.”

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”:
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.”
