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”:


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.”

UFO Article (Blog):
“NORAD And The UFO Smokescreen – Part 5”


By Paul Dean, 18 November 2015
(UFOs – Documenting The Evidence, Melbourne, Australia)

Paul Dean is researching what role the North American Aerospace Defense Command has maintained regarding the UFO matter:


Quote from the article:
“This is Part 5 of an ongoing series regarding the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) and their involvement UFO phenomenon. I have already detailed over a dozen pages of declassified military documents that show us that tangible UFO events have come to the attention of NORAD.

Dealing with NORAD is not easy. Normally, one would request information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) from an American government agency, or under the Access to Information Act (ATIA) from a Canadian government agency. However, NORAD is a ‘bi-national’ organisation, and the governments involved decided to ‘exempt’ it from either FOIA or ATIA in 1982. However, the US’s Northern Command (NORTHCOM), who partly controls NORAD, can process FOI requests for NORAD records – but everything is on NORAD’s terms. The actual response one gets from the NORTHCOM FOIA and Privacy Act Requester Service Center at Peterson Air Force Base for NORAD records is, except in exceedingly rare cases:

‘NORAD as a bi-national organization is not subject to FOIA. No search of records will be conducted.’ ”

UFO Case Report:
“Jan. 8, 1953; Larson AFB,
Moses Lake, Wash. (BBU 2323)”


(NICAP.org)

The whole UFO case report:
“7:15-7:30 a.m. (PST). USAF ADC 82nd Fighter Interceptor Sq personnel, including Lt Col squadron commander, all on the ground, saw a green, discshaped or round object about the size of large weather balloon, flying to the SW, with a vertical bobbing motion and sideways movements, at about 8,000 ft, below scattered clouds at 9,000 ft and overcast at 12,000 ft, moving away against the wind from 240° until disappearance due to distance not entering clouds. Also observed by base personnel at Ephrata, Wash., about 10 miles WNW of Larson AFB, driving to work at the base. F-94 airborne at 7:43 a.m. searched for 30 mins but UFO had already disappeared at 7:30 a.m. No radar tracks. (Sparks; BB files; Berliner; McDonald 1968)”


Wikipedia article: “Larson Air Force Base”:


Quote from the Wikipedia article:
“Larson Air Force Base is a former United States Air Force base located five miles (8 km) northwest of the central business district (CBD) of Moses Lake, in Grant County, Washington. After its closure in 1966, the airport facility became Grant County International Airport.

Air Defense Command
Moses Lake AFB reopened as a permanent installation on 26 August 1948, being transferred from Air Material Command to the Air Defense Command (ADC). The initial ADC base operating unit was the 2755th Air Base Squadron. Under ADC, the base came under the Western Air Defense Force, headquartered at Hamilton AFB, California.

Interceptors
The primary mission of Larson-based ADC aircraft was to protect the secret Hanford Atomic Works and the Grand Coulee Dam.

The first ADC flying unit to arrive was the 325th Fighter-Interceptor Group, which arrived on 26 November 1948. The mission of the 325th FIG was to conduct ADC's All Weather Combat Crew Training School. Its operational component, the 317th Fighter Interceptor Squadron, initially flew Northrop P-61 Black Widows, almost immediately transitioning to the North American F-82 Twin Mustang. A second squadron, the 319th Fighter Interceptor Squadron arrived on 2 September 1949, being reassigned from McChord AFB. The 319th also flew the F-82 Twin Mustang.[8][9] The 325th FIG remained at Moses Lake until being reassigned to McChord AFB on 23 April 1950, along with the 317th FIS. The 319th remained until 9 February 1952 when it was reassigned to Suwon Air Base, South Korea flying F-94 Starfires.[8]

The next ADC unit was the 81st Fighter-Interceptor Wing which arrived from 10 November 1949. The 81st FIW flew F-51D/H Mustangs, F-80C Shooting Stars and North American F-86 Sabres from the base. The 81st remained until 5 September 1951 when it was reassigned to NATO and deployed to RAF Shepherds Grove in the United Kingdom.[10][11] During the Korean War, the 116th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron, Washington Air National Guard was called to active duty and activated at Moses Lake. The 116th FIS was deployed as part of the 81st Tactical Fighter Wing to RAF Shepherds Grove.

Tactical Air Command
On 21 April 1952, Larson AFB was assigned to the Tactical Air Command (TAC) under TAC's Eighteenth Air Force, which reassigned the 62nd Troop Carrier Wing from McChord AFB, Washington to the base.

Strategic Air Command
In 1960, control of Larson AFB passed from TAC to Strategic Air Command (SAC) with the 4170th Strategic Wing as the host unit. In 1963, the 4170th was redesignated as the 462d Strategic Aerospace Wing with B-52E Stratofortress and KC-135A Stratotanker aircraft.”
