Quote from the UFO report:
“This is currently a 14-page chronology of UFO incidents and events for
1989. Our thanks for these chronologies must go to Richard Hall (the original
1989 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;
Rebecca 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 Indiana
Of possible interest, the MADAR Project (which I headed for 20 years)
had 5 anomalistic EM readings which are listed chronologically here.

July 22, 1989; Trenton ,
ME
3:30 PM. Over Blue Hill Bay -- At 3:30 p.m. Randy Rhodes, a police
dispatcher for the City of Ellsworth, and Bill Reiff, an attorney, took off in
a Beechcraft Bonanza from the Bar Harbor-Trenton airport. At around 3:45 p.m.
they spotted a huge metallic disc, shining like polished aluminum, at the 9
o'clock position. It was at the same altitude as their plane--approximately
5100-5200 feet .
The object suddenly moved dead ahead to the 12 o'clock position and it took on
a reddish or rose color. Not very enthusiastic about continuing on with this
thing in front of them, they turned back for the Bar Harbor-Trenton airport.
The Aerial Direction Finder was working at the time but the DME (Distance
Measuring Equipment) was not receiving. It had never before given them a
problem, and 3-4 minutes after the object disappeared the DME came back on.
When they landed they discovered that there had been power surges and outages
on the ground, and they recalled that when they last observed the object it was
headed in the direction of the Maine Yankee Nuclear Power plant in Wiscasset.
However, a spokesman for the Bangor HydroElectric Company later reported that
three limbs falling over a transmission line when a resident cut down a tree
caused the outage. (Source: UFOE Vol. II, Section III; Leland Bechtel, MUFON
