UFO News Article:
“Flying Objects Seem To Be Bobbing Up”


29 March 1966
(Lodi News-Sentinel, California)

The article reports on the many UFO incidents that were witnessed in the United States in March 1966.

Several of the UFO incidents were observed by police officers.

Quote from the article:
Macomb County Patrolman Kenneth Stephens said he and another officer saw strangely moving intense white lights in the sky. He said the lights fell swiftly, veered into a swampy area and vanished.

Police officers in six North Carolina towns saw an object streak from east to west. Newton police officer Melvin Barlowe said it looked like ‘a big blue bolt of fire with fire arching off the edges.’

‘We don’t have anything around here that could catch it,’ he said. ‘No swamp gas or nothing like that could move that fast.’ 

State Trooper John Rashke told his superiors he watched two ‘egg-shaped objects of orange color with a bright glow in the center’ spinning through the sky near Valparaiso, Ind., Sunday night.


NOTE: The newspaper date is 29 March 1966.

The article is the same UPI article I reported on in 2013:

Waterufo.net UFO case report:
“09-15-1962

DISC LANDING REPORTED IN NEW JERSEY – IN U.S. & ABROAD SIGHTINGS CONTINUE”

The whole UFO case report:
“(Extract-CF-)
      
A series of New Jersey police sightings after a reported disc landing in a reservoir -- important because police and several newspapers openly rejected an attempted ‘hoax’ explanation.
      
The action began on September 15. At 5 p.m., two shiny discs were seen over Oradell, N.J. At 6 p.m., two shiny, round UFOs were sighted by former Navy flying officer J. J. McVickers just across the state line. At 7:50, NICAP member Victor Cipolla saw a glowing object descend toward Oradell, and other witnesses saw it dart back and forth near the reservoir. At 7:55, three teen-aged boys saw a bright, oval-shaped object land in the reservoir with a loud splash. A man working nearby also heard the splash, according to police. After a moment the strange device took off, climbed silently at high speed.           

As McGuire AFB began an investigation, new reports came in. On September 21, four Hawthorne police officers watched a device with two beam-like headlights hover over a quarry. Officer George Jediny, in a report to NICAP, said the UFO -- which he sketched as a disc -- seemed to revolve. The quarry night watchman, Wm. Stocks, said the UFO had also appeared the night before. When he drove a Jeep nearer to check up, the object maneuvered to keep out of the headlights. (Similar reaction often reported.)
      
Just after midnight, September 24, the same or a similar device was seen over the quarry by over a dozen Hawthorne police officers and the chief reporter of the N. J. State Press, George Della Penta. When a police-car spotlight was pointed up at the UFO, it began to move. Before it left, Mr. Della Penta shot 18 feet of color film. (Analysis not completed.)
      
Later, Oradell police received a letter signed ‘The Bergenfield Pranksters,’ purporting to be from some boys who said they faked the sightings with aluminum-coated model aircraft supported by helium balloons. This was promptly rejected by the police and newspapers that checked the facts, among them:
      
The Newark Evening News, Science Writer Philip Del Vecchio: ‘It would have been impossible for them (the Bergen County boys) to put their model planes so high that they could be seen in Hawthorne... No object such as they could have put together could have moved at the lightning speeds attributed to the UFO. The light... could not have been produced by amateurs. This newspaper makes an appeal to other residents ...with the assurance that reports will be treated with dignity.
      
The Hawthorne Observer, rebuking those who accepted an unsigned letter from a town miles away, said it was time to treat the reports seriously.
      
The Riverdale Sunday Trend: ‘Suppose the real hoax is the letter purporting to explain the whole thing?’
      
The Hawthorne News Record: ‘To imply so flippantly that our police officers spent almost half an hour looking at a balloon and then watched it speed away at an incredible rate -- all in quite an opposite direction from Oradell--is insulting.’
      
The Newark Sunday News: ‘Flying saucers are still a big mystery...are seen with great regularity by sane and logical inhabitants of the planet Earth. What they are and where they come from and what their mission is has not yet been satisfactorily explained.’

Regardless of the final outcome, these New Jersey sightings have shown that an increasing number of newspapers no longer accept quick brush-off answers to sightings by competent witnesses.

UFO News Article:
“Policeman, UFO Play Tag”


16 November 1973
(Miami News-Record, Oklahoma)

Source: NewspaperArchive.com

The whole article:
“A western Oklahoma police officer said an unidentified flying object played tag with his patrol car early today [16 November 1973] and another UFO landed on the highway behind him when he wasn’t looking.

‘We were watching one of them up in the air and everywhere we would go, it would go,’ Erick Patrolman John Roberts reported. ‘Then I looked in the rear view mirror and there was another one. It had landed on the road about 500 yards behind us.’

Roberts said he and his companions, Freddie Ross and Preston Crosby, both 17 and Erick residents, tried to approach the UFO that landed but it disappeared.

‘Just as we turned around, it was just like somebody had switched off a light switch,’ he said. ‘It was gone.’

The other UFO remained in view about 45 minutes, he said.

‘The one that stayed up was like a bright red and was a sort of pulsating light,’ Roberts said. ‘It would get real bright and then go dim and then bright again. It finally turned a sort of burnt orange.

‘The one I saw in the rear view mirror was a real brilliant blue and it had a constant glow. It was so bright we couldn’t make out any shape to it.’

Roberts said he was on patrol when two youths called his attention to the light in the sky.

‘The one we watched the longest would sort of dart in and out when we moved,’ he said. ‘When we would go toward it, then it would move away. When we went the other way, it was right with us.

‘Sometimes it would zig-zag out in front of us and dart around. Finally it just got a way off and disappeared.’

Roberts said the movements of the objects were ‘too sharp’ for them to have been helicopters of airplanes.

‘I can’t explain what they were but I am convinced there is some sort of UFOs out there,’ he said. ‘I couldn’t believe anything else after what I saw this morning.’ ”

My comment:
A similar UFO incident that also involved police officers occurred in Brownsville, Texas, on 14 November 1973.

The UFO followed the car for 32 kilometres (20 miles). When the driver stopped the car, the unknown object also would stop and when the car speeded up, the unknown object followed suit.

Law enforcement officers in Harlingen and San Benito also sighted the UFO.

Brownsville is the southernmost city in Texas.

UFO News Article:
“UFO over Stockton”


20 March 1975
(Lodi News-Sentinel, California)

The police officers Harold D. Dodson and Patrick C. Green and two civilians, George W. Leech, 53, and his wife, Berthadelle, sighted a reddish orange UFO over Stockton, California, on the night of 18/19 March 1975.

The police officers and George W. Leech reported that the UFO was circular shaped.

Quote from the article:
“While Leech watched, the object ‘swung around and seemed to change into a circular shape (from a cylindrical shape).’ The whole time, Leech said, the object made a whirring sound, ‘like wind sounds way in the distance.’

At 2:37 a.m. officr Dodson called into the police department from his home. He reported a weird noise directly over his house at 500 to 700 feet. Dodson said the noise was three times as loud as a jet and made a ‘hollow sound that howled.’ Dodson told police that he was sure the sound was not a jet. Dodson said he rushed to a window but the source of the noise was gone by then.”
