UFO News Article (Blog):
“Head ‘n’ shoulders”
By Billy Cox, 17 December 2019
(De
Void, Sarasota Herald-Tribune , Florida )
Part of this article focuses on the UFO sighting of flight commander Bud Evans and fellow pilot Clyde Good over Misawa , Japan ,
in April 1950. Both served in the 9th Fighter Squadron of the 49th Fighter-Bomber
Wing in Misawa.
Quote from the article:
“The mystery pinged on ground radar, and flight
commander Bud Evans got scrambled upstairs to check it out. By time he reached
the target area, the thing was gone. During debriefings, his fellow airmen insisted
they had encountered a broad, flat, airborne something-or-other, measuring
maybe three times the size of a regulation target, but no more than three
inches wide. It looked like a flying window pane – they could see the
silhouettes of each other’s planes as they flanked the object. Before either
could get a shot off, bingo, ‘it went straight up and out of sight,’ Evans
says.
‘It was coming in pretty slow, and at first, we all
thought it was a tow target, but we couldn’t see what was holding it up,’ he
said. ‘So I’m looking for its power source, and there were no props, no jet
engines, no visible means of propulsion, and it doesn’t make a sound. But it
was definitely under the control of somebody or something, because then it
pulled straight up, like a bat out of hell, and took off. Just disappeared.’ ”

U.S. Government UFO Document:
“Unidentified object …”
23 June 1950
(Project Blue Book , U.S. Air Force, Washington , D.C. )
Source: NICAP.org
Quote from the document (not written in U.S.
Department of Defense document format):
“At 0605Z on 21 Jun 50, Capt. [Obermiller], [text
unintelligible] Ftr Bomb Wg, on golf course at Misawa AFB, observed circular
shaped object of natural color which appeared when tilted to be of highly
polished silver and metallic construction. Object was approximately 2 miles horizontally from
observer, estimated altitude 7000
feet , angle of elevation from horizon was 60. Object in
view no longer than 20 seconds size estimated 30 feet diameter and 5 feet thick. First observed
traveling parallel to and 1000
feet above F-80, came abreast of F-80 tilted at abut 45
D to horizontal flashed in sunlight and appeared to shimmer, then returned to
horizontal and remained in same place. Rose almost vertically about 1000 feet , seemed to
change direction slightly and rapidly disappeared. No evidence smoke or exhaust
appeared to be spinning. No sound could be detected due to other aircraft.
Speed estimated 650 mph
when first sighted to 975
MPH when leaving.
Observer presently rated with 1100 hours in transport
and fighter aircraft.”
My comment: Project Blue Book listed this case as
“OTHER (REFLECTION).” That means that Project Blue Book was of the opinion that
Captain Obermiller – who had flown 1100 hours in transport and fighter aircraft
– could not distinguish between an unknown flying object and a light
reflection.
In my opinion – this UFO case is a perfect example
that shows how Project Blue Book attempted to explain away as many UFO cases as
possible. Many highly respected, longtime U.S. UFO researchers are of the same
opinion.
