UFO News Article:
“Unrelated UFO sightings reported”, 11 October 1966
(The Press-Courier, Oxnard, California)
UFOs were sighted over both the Crow Creek Indian Reservation community of Fort Thompson, South Dakota and Wanaque, New Jersey on the night of 10 October 1966, according to the article:
http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=ZE5LAAAAIBAJ&sjid=SyMNAAAAIBAJ&pg=6689,1862295
Quote from the article:
“This sighting was later corroborated by Motor Patrolman Patrick Gribbin, Sheriff Lee Roberts and Game Warden Floyd Gaarder of Presho, all of whom drove into the country to view the lights.
Hundreds of miles to the east, at Wanaque, N.J., five persons – three of them policemen – reported sighting UFOs. Patrolman William Pastor said he spotted a ‘bright light’ hovering over Wanaque Reservoir while he was parked in a patrol car nearby.
‘I turned on the red light on the patrol car,’ he said, ‘and the light on the object immediately went out.’ ”
NOTE: The newspaper date is 11 October 1966.
I also reported on the 1966 Wanaque (New Jersey) Reservoir UFO sightings on 21 April 2011:

“March 17, 1966: Ringwood Nun Spots UFO”
13 March 2011
(The Record, Woodland Park ,
New Jersey )
Source: ufocasebook.com
The whole article:
“ ‘Another UFO was reported in the area last week, and as a [Suburban
Trends] reporter pointed out, it would have been difficult to find a more
veracious observer,’ reads an editorial from March 17, 1966.
‘Mother Superior Veronica, Mount St. Francis Convent, Ringwood, reported
seeing an object streak across the sky early last Thursday morning. It was
‘like a flying kite on fire,’ she said.
‘The object, reminiscent of Elijah’s flaming chariot (though the mother
superior did not point this out), left ‘a red glow in its wake,’ the editorial
said.
‘Mother Veronica said she later saw another, dimmer light over the
cemetery, and another nun reported that same morning she saw a bright light
over the Wanaque Reservoir, site of other recent
‘sightings.’ ’
‘sightings.’ ’
In light of the rash of UFO sightings, we said that maybe someone was
trying to tell us something.
‘On the other hand, such activities did not seem to us all that unusual,
what with St. Patrick’s Day upon us…’
The editorial then related a small Irish tale: ‘ ‘tell me,’ said a young
man to an Irish crone many years ago. ‘Do you believe in wee people?’
‘ ‘Glory be to God no,’ answered the old woman. Then, in a confidential
whisper, ‘But they’re there.’ ’ ”

UFO Report:
“The 1992 UFO Chronology”
Created: 15 November 2008
(NICAP.org)
Quote from the UFO report:
“This is currently a 10-page chronology of UFO
incidents and events for 1992. Our thanks for these chronologies must go to
Richard Hall (the original 1992 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 ,
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. Since I was Indiana State Director
(MUFON) at that time, some of our Indiana
cases are listed here.

Late at night a farmer that had experienced strange
cattle mutilations in the past was awakened by the sound of his dog barking.
The farmer went to investigate and upon entering the cow shed saw a small white
‘object’ resembling a jellyfish with numerous tentacle-like protrusions coming
out of its bottom. The ‘object’ was floating in the air; it then drifted
outside where it vanished. A cow was discovered on the floor. It had a badly
broken leg. (Source: Jenny Randles, Peter A. Hough, World Best True UFO

UFO News Article:
“Believe Flying Doughnut? – Maybe A Fiery Stop Sign?”,
7 December 1966
(The Spartanburg Herald, South Carolina)
This is an article by U.S. UFO researcher John A. Keel regarding the late 1966 U.S. UFO wave and UFO sightings in Australia:
http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=W4AsAAAAIBAJ&sjid=Is0EAAAAIBAJ&pg=3602,1348266
The article continues on page 13 (Google News).
Quote from the article:
“On Oct. 30, Dr. Harry Neilsen, a dentist from Darien, Conn., was driving past the Saugatuck Reservoir when he saw what he later described as ‘a large triangular glow bearing red and white lights.’ It seemed to be hovering at a low altitude over the reservoir. That same night, other witnesses on Long Island reported seeing a low-flying triangular object which emitted a ‘shrieking sound.’ The areas of these sights were in a direct line with the Connecticut Reservoir area on the other side of Long Island Sound.
POLICE OFFICERS, civil defense officials, and many others reported seeing brilliant flying lights and triangular objects over the Wanaque (New Jersey) Reservoir on several occasions this fall. Unidentified flying objects also appeared, according to many witnesses, over several other lakes and reservoirs across the country.”

UFO News Article:
“Authorities Sight UFOs In 2 States”
11 October 1966
(Deseret News, Salt
Lake City , Utah )
The whole article:
“Authorities in two widely separated areas—New Jersey
and South Dakota—Monday night (10 October 1966) reported sightings of
unidentified flying objects. The incidents were apparently unrelated.
Two UFOs were reported sighted in the Fort Thompson , S.C. (my
correction: South Dakota ),
area, both resembling ‘lighted merry-go-rounds.’ The first sighting was reported
by Kanabec rancher Roger Huston about 9 p.m. CST. He said a bluish-colored
light appeared to be hanging over the Crow Creek Indian Reservation community
of Fort Thompson .
This sighting was later corroborated by motor
patrolman Patrick Gribbin, Sheriff Lee Roberts and game warden Floyd Gaarder of
Presho, all of whom drove into the country to view the lights.
The first object slowly faded from an overhead
position to an easterly direction, and two hours later Fort Thompson
police said it had brightened and was joined by another object in the sky. The
lights on the second object seemed to rotate, witnesses said, changing from red
to green to yellow, while the original object went from white to bluish-green
to red.
Hundreds of miles to the east, at Wanaque , N.J. ,
at least five persons—three of them policemen—reported sighting UFOs.”
Wikipedia article: “Crow Creek Indian Reservation”:
On 22 November 2011, I also reported on this United
Press International article. The Press-Courier titled the (more elaborate)
article “Unrelated UFO sightings reported.”
