UFO Report:
“The 1967 UFO Chronology –
The ‘Mother of all Sighting Waves’ ”


Created: 18 September 2006
Updated: 3 December 2018
(NICAP.org)

Quote from the UFO report:
“This is a massive, 85-page, chronology of UFO incidents and events for 1967. Our thanks for these chronologies must go to our documentation team: Richard Hall (the original 1967 chronology from UFOE II and a huge updated file), William Wise (Project Blue Book Archive), Dan Wilson (archive researcher), and Brad Sparks (Comprehensive Catalog of Project Blue Book Unknowns). Last, but not least, our thanks to Jean Waskiewicz who created the online NICAP DBase (NSID) that helped make it possible to link from the cases to the reports themselves.

The year, 1967, encompassed a major part of the most intensive and long-lasting UFO sighting wave of all time. The wave was a U.S. and international UFO sighting wave that actually began in 1966. Not only was this a massive sighting wave involving nuclear equipped missile shutdowns, but also a number of humanoid incidents were reported along with the usual ground and air incidents. Other information pertaining to the wave are explored in the following reports, the first one available from the Fund for UFO Research; the others online on the NICAP site:

‘Alien Invasion or Human Fantasy? The 1966-67 UFO Wave’ (Richard Hall)
‘1967: The Overlooked UFO Wave and the Colorado Project’ (Richard Hall)
‘The Sighting Wave of 1967 - Indiana: A NICAP Subcommittee Investigation’ (Francis Ridge)
  • On April 21, 1967 the Strategic Air Command reached the level of 1000 operational Minuteman I and II ICBMs.
  • It is extremely interesting, too, that it was actually 1966 when the US reached a peak of 31,700 of stockpiled nuclear warheads. The year 1967 had 30,893 stockpiled, the third highest total, and 1965 had 31,642 stockpiled warheads, 2nd highest total.
  • This was also the year of the third Arab/Israeli war (June 5-10).
  • By year’s end Project Blue Book received 937 UFO reports, even though they classified only 17 as unidentified.
Regarding the incident at Malmstrom on March 16, the 142-page report by Robert Salas and James Klotz can be ordered at Faded Giant. Other missile incidents are explored in the paper by Robert Hastings, ‘UFO Sightings at ICBM Sites and Nuclear Weapons Storage Areas.’ For information on missile deployment, see To Defend & Deter.

The latest update comes from Ref. 3 (see footnotes) by Jacques Vallee, and lists cases from the USSR.

UFO Article:
“Journalists Should Ask These
Questions Re AATIP and TTSA”


By Jan L. Aldrich, 8 February 2019
(The UFO Chronicles)

Quote from the article:
“At least no one will ever accuse me of thinking the same. Frankly, I have other fish to fry, but I feel some comments and questions regarding AATIP and TTSA need to be put forth. Journalists should ask these questions, but with the notable exception of Billy Cox, most journalists are clueless about UFOs. Billy using his experience and sources kept me from walking off a cliff more than once.”

UFO News Article:
“Rutledge releases six-year study – 34 UFO
sightings in region called ‘incredible’ by physicist”


6 December 1979
(Enterprise-Courier, Charleston, Missouri)

Sources: U.F.O. Newsclipping Service, Plumerville, Arkansas and AFU.se

The whole article (Page 2):
“Dr. Harley Rutledge has announced part of the results of a six-year scientific field study of Unidentified Flying Objects he directed while chairing the physics department at Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau.

During that six-year period, the professor said, he and co-workers had experienced 153 sightings of 174 UFOs. He labelled 34 of the sightings as incredible because the UFOs exhibited physical or behavioral properties beyond known man-made technology.

Rutledge, director of Project Identification, a University-based organization of scientists, engineers, students, and amateur astronomers formed to study UFOs, said that on 32 occasions UFOs seemed to react to him and other Project members. ‘It’s enough to make you think someone is playing a game with us.’

Covering a large area of Southeast Missouri, the field study has extended 30 miles north of St. Louis, 80 miles west of the Mississippi River, and into Illinois.

The Project has logged 26 sightings of 37 UFOs near Piedmont, where the study began in April, 1973; 17 sightings of 19 UFOs near Farmington; and 104 sightings of 117 UFOs near the Mississippi River along a 70 mile stretch from Perryville to Sikeston. But 48 sightings of 50 UFOs were from within or near the city limits of Cape Girardeau itself. ‘Often UFOs have hovered over or near the city,’ Rutledge said.

In once [sic] case a Cape Girardeau girl reported being chased by a small disc flying at treetop level. It temporarily blinded the girl by flashing a bright light down upon her as she reached the door of her home. Two witnesses verified the experience.

Rutledge reports that many of the UFOs were observed in motion and 41 UFOs changed motion by starting, stopping, or changing direction. In some cases hovering lights streaked across the sky in a fraction of a second at low altitude and even under a cloud cover. Rutledge has observed a light make an instantaneous right-angle turn, the light switching off 20 seconds later. ‘If that was an object having mass, that kind of turn is impossible,’ Rutledge emphasized. ‘But I’ve seen a lot of things that looked impossible.’

Of the 174 UFOs observed by Project members, 88 have been mere balls of light. Five were seen to turn on, 47 turn off, while 36 turned on and off. Six different colors have been observed: 50 off-white, 27 amber, 21 white, 7 red, 5 yellow, and two lights were a green color. Five lights changed color.

Seven craft have been observed, including two discs and a bullet-shaped object. One of the discs was observed in daylight by Rutledge from his office at the University. The bullet-shaped object, also observed in daylight, changed color and vanished.

Contrary to popular representations of UFOs on television and in the movies, only three UFOs observed by Rutledge and his crews made sound.

Eighteen sightings occurred in daylight and 18 more at dusk. These 36 sightings constitute nearly one-fourth the Project totals and under conditions where sunlight would have illuminated any craft in the sky.

‘I’m not the only one seeing these things,’ Rutledge pointed out. During the 153 sightings, 622 persons have been present, representing more than 30 Project members and well over a hundred different persons as spectators. That averages about four persons present per sighting. ‘How could any UFO study, or single sighting, be better documented than this?’ he asks.

Rutledge promises that soon he will release more startling results from Project data to the public . ‘In the beginning, we formed this organization to seek the truth and present it to the public,’ Rutledge stated. ‘At first I was reticent to describe some of our incredible experiences for fear of ridicule. We have been careful not to make unsubstantiated claims.’ ”

First seen in the SE at about 1,000' straight up heading due South. After a total of 45 minutes it disappeared over the mountains. But before it did, it had stopped, started, backed up.

UFO Report:
“The 1986 UFO Chronology”


Created: 11 September 2013
Updated: 9 December 2016
(NICAP.org)

Quote from the UFO report:
“This is currently an 11-page chronology of UFO incidents and events for 1986. Our thanks for these chronologies must go to Richard Hall (the original 1986 chronology from UFOE II), Dan Wilson (archive researcher), and Jean Waskiewicz (online NICAP DBase [NSID]. You will note the many foreign reports that we are now being able to access. Our special thanks to Dan Wilson for getting those to us. As more come in, this page will be updated. Previous chronologies (1947 to 1969) involved the expertise of two other team members: William Wise (Project Blue Book Archive) and Brad Sparks (Comprehensive Catalog of Project Blue Book Unknowns). Bob Gribble’s entries are those filed with the National UFO Reporting Center in Seattle, Washington, now operated by Peter Davenport. Trace cases are now being entered with the help of Ted Phillips, Center for Physical Trace Research and retrofitted into previous chronologies as time permits.

One final note: This was  the year I became State Director for the Mutual UFO Network, so a number of entries stem from those investigations. I reference these from my book, Ref. 4, ‘Regional Encounters: The FC Files’.

Francis Ridge
NICAP Site Coordinator

March 19-June 15, 1986: Brazil.
Concentration of sightings including many physiological effects cases and traumatic effects (Ref. 1, Section VIII).”
