UFO news article:
Translation of News Article From ‘CLARIN,’ Buenos Aires,
July 7, 1965 (NICAP.org text):

(NICAP.org)

Quote from the news article:
“Numerous Personnel of the Antarctic bases of three nations: Argentina, Chile and Great Britain, in conditions of optimum visibility, observed (on 3 July 1965) the maneuvers of an unidentified ‘Flying Object.’ So state official communications from the area, including one from the Secretary of the Navy of our country. Independently, the ‘Clarin’ has communicated directly with the Decepcion Base, obtaining from the base commander the details of the sighting.

Santiago, Chile. 6 (Cables of AP AFP Reuter, ANSA y ‘Clarin Agency’) Argentine, British and Chilean military and scientific personnel sighted an unidentified flying object which gave off or glowed with a white light, at high altitude and came at considerable speed in a Southeast direction. The release indicates the object flew a zig-zag path and appeared to hover momentarily suspended in the air. The information caused commotion, when released to the public.”

UFO news article:
“UFO Sightings Are Reported In Venice Area”

31 August 1976
(Sarasota Herald-Tribune, Florida)

Quote from the article:
“Two Venice residents reported seeing unidentified flying objects (UFO) late Saturday and early Sunday (28 and 29 August 1976).

Lori Nyland, 233 Warfield St., Venice, told the Herald-Tribune she saw lights in the sky on three occasions late Saturday night between 9:30 and 11:30 p.m.

Kathy Shane, 232 S. Grove St., Venice, reported seeing fast moving lights in a V-formation in the pre-dawn darkness at 6 a.m. She described the sightings as, ‘A flock of geese all lit up.’

The sightings both occurred in the industrial section of Venice near U.S. 41 and Venice Farms Road.

Nyland told the Herald -Tribune she did not believe in UFOs before she saw a single oval-shaped white light moving up and down a few inches above the trees on U.S. 41.

‘Then it just disappeared.’

She said she again saw the light when she was approaching her apartment. The second sighting was similar to the first, but a third sighting consisted of five lights in a V-formation moving across the sky and then zig-zagging just above the nearby tree tops.

Before this weekend’s sightings the most recent area UFO sighting was in June when DeSoto County residents reported seeing an orange, yellow and red UFO in the farmlands near Arcadia.’ ”

UFO Case Report:
“Two Discs Over [Uranium] Mines /
Jet In Pursuit

[Elisabethville], [Belgian] Congo”

observer 1 air / sev gnd
No EMI
No radar contact

Dan Wilson:
March 29, 1952; [Elisabethville], Belgian Congo. (BBU)
This is the date this information was published and not the date of the incident. ‘Recently two fiery discs were sighted over the uranium mines located in the southern part of the Belgian Congo. The discs with a diameter of approximately 12 to 15 meters traveled in a precise and light manner, both vertically and horizontally. Changes in elevation from 800 to 1,000 meters were accomplished in a few seconds. The discs often moved down to within 20 meters (400') of the tree tops. Commander Pierre set out in pursuit of the objects in a fighter plane. On his first approach he came to within about 120 meters of one of the discs. Suddenly the discs hovered in one spot then took off in a unique zigzag flight to the northeast at an estimated speed of 1,500 kilometers per hour. Pierre gave up his pursuit after about 15 minutes.’ (McDonald files; Jan Aldrich, Dan Wilson)

Fran Ridge:
By January 1948 talks resulted in the U.S. getting all of the uranium from the Congo for the next two years, 1948-49, plus an option on uncommitted ore that had already been shipped to Britain. This generous settlement was achieved by allowing British scientists access to a number of nuclear secrets.”

Document On the 1952 Elisabethville,
Belgian Congo, Uranium Mine UFO Incident


(Undated document)

The whole document (not written in U.S. Department of Defense document format):
“Date of Inci: 29 Mar 52                Location: Belgian Congo

Recently two fiery disks were sighted over the uranium mines located in the southern part of the Belgian Congo in the Elisabethville district. The disks glided in curves and changed their position many times, so that from below they sometimes appeared as plates, ovals and simply lines. Suddenly both disks hovered in one spot, then took off in a unique zigzag flight to the NE.

Commander Pierre of the small Elisabethville airfield immediately set out a pursuit with a fighter plane. On his approach he came within about 120 meters of one of the disks. No further identification action was taken.

ATIC DOCUMENT 108463”

My comment:
On this web page, NICAP.org also presents a 29 March 1952 Die Presse (Germany) UFO news article (Project Blue Book document) about the Elisabethville UFO incident.

The UFO incident occurred a short while before 29 March 1952.

UFO Case Directory (Distant Encounters):
“Objects Maneuver Over New Mexico Bases
March 21, 1950
Kirtland AFB and Sandia Base, New Mexico”


(NICAP.org)

The whole UFO case report:
Loren Gross:
March 21, 1950; Kirtland AFB and Sandia Base, New Mexico (BB)
Bt. 1300 & 1330 hrs. UFOs observed from Kirtland Air Force Base and Sandia Base, New Mexico. Objects were silver in color, size approximately that of a dime at arm’s length; left no trail or exhaust, had no effect on clouds, and there was no sound or odor detected. Appeared more maneuverable than any known aircraft. The tactics used were similar to the change of positions during dog fights involving two airplanes. However, the way the objects changed position, there seemed to be no similarity to the maneuverability of a conventional plane. Were very maneuverable, made right angle turns, also appeared to reverse (back up) the direction of flight. Another witness, whose name was deleted, viewed two small white objects 15 minutes later from the Sandia Ordnance Area. He said the objects were traveling about 600 miles an hour on an eastward course, while adding: ‘One made a complete circle around the other just prior to disappearing.’ About the same time, between 1:00 and 1:30 p.m., four enlisted men: M/Sgt. Guy Johnson, S/Sgt. R. E. Bedwell, Sgt.C. D. Byzewski, and Sgt. M. B. Woodward, sighted a bright silver object, round, and the size of a dime at arm's length, flying over Kirtland Air Force Base. As the object sped in a southeast direction, the witnesses noticed that it was very maneuverable. Zigzag motion up and down. More maneuverable than jet aircraft. Sort of floated like piece of large paper in the air. (Loren E. Gross, UFO'S: A HISTORY 1950: JANUARY - MARCH )”

UFO Case Directory:
“Category 1, Distant Encounters
Zig-Zagging Object Lands / Takes Off
Jan. 27, 1965
Hampton (Plum Tree Island), Virginia”


(NICAP.org)

The whole UFO case report:
Dan Wilson:
Jan. 27, 1965; Plum Tree Island (Hampton), Virginia (BB)
6:00 p.m. EST. A NASA research engineer, A. G. Crimmins (located at Hampton) observed an object that was approximately 75 feet across and 10 to 15 feet in height. The object had 3 to 7 lights colored red and orange. The object appeared to rotate. The object first appeared at an azimuth of 20 degrees and a maximum of 75 feet of elevation. The object moved approximately 1/4 mile west of the original position on a zigzag course and then appeared to land on the shore. It remained fixed for approximately five minutes. The object then took off to the north and then turned right to depart to the east at a high rate of speed. The object was viewed through 20-power binoculars. There were apparently other reports of similar sightings in the same area at approximately the same time. (UFOE II, Section IV).

Fran Ridge:
Jan. 27, 1965; Plum Tree Island (Hampton), Virginia (BB)
While in the process of documenting the Jan. 23, 1965 E-M case at Lightfoot, Virginia (N. of Williamsburg) I found that among the witnesses in this mini-flap there were two NASA research engineers, A. G. Crimmins and Maj. John Nayadley, a retired AF jet pilot. ‘I watched it through binoculars,’ Crimmins stated. ‘It was zigzagging as if searching for a landing spot. I could see flashing lights on the edge or rim of a rapidly rotating disc.’ The UFO made a touch landing, then climbed steeply out of sight. Without any checkup, AF Headquarters hurriedly explained it as a helicopter the NASA engineers failed to recognize in their excitement. Too late. HQ learned that Langley AFB had ruled this out – no helicopters were flying in the area. (NICAP files)”
