UFO Journal Article: “A ‘VALENTICH TYPE’ OF CASE OFF PUERTO RICO”

By Jorge Martín, Editor of EVIDENCIA OVNI (Puerto Rico) and Flying Saucer Review Consultant

Volume 43, No. 4, Winter 1998

(Flying Saucer Review, London, UK)

José Alberto Pagán Santos (aged 22) (pilot) and his friend José Luis Maldonado Torres (both Puerto Rican citizens) disappeared during a flight from the Dominican Republic to Puerto Rico on the evening of 28 June 1980:

http://nicap.org/docs/FSRV43No4_JorgeMartin.pdf

Quote from the article:

“Lt. (José) Pagán (the father of José Alberto Pagán Santos) went off with Carlos Busquets to the F.A.A. (Federal Aviation Administration, U.S.) and demanded that he be permitted to listen to the tape. The Federal Authorities at first refused to comply but finally, in deference to his own position as a police officer, permitted him to hear it.

The tape made a profound impression on Lt. Pagán, because it confirmed that the two young men had reported that a strange flying object was harassing them and blocking them off from their course towards San Juan. After three messages, the communication had ceased, and the plane and the two young men had vanished.

The U.S. Federal Authorities at the F.A.A. in Isla Verde refused to let Lt. Pagán have a copy of the tape, and requested him not to speak about the affair.”

UFO Journal Article (Letter): “UFOs Seen by Crew of an American Aircraft-Carrier (1952 - 1958)”

By Chester C. Grusinski (Michigan, U.S.A.), 25 August 1994

2004 (Flying Saucer Review, London, UK)

Quote from the letter:

“Dear Mr. Creighton.

Would you be interested in details of several UFO sightings by crew members of the U.S. Navy’s 45,000 ton aircraft-carrier Franklin D. Roosevelt CVA-42.

I was myself a member of her crew from 1958 to 1960, and I was one of the many eyewitnesses in one of the UFO sightings, in September or October of 1958.”

UFO Article: “Experts chime in on Puerto Rico UFO video”

By Alejandro Rojas, 4 September 2015

(OpenMinds.tv, Tempe, Arizona)

Alejandro Rojas’ article on the 25 April 2013 Aguadilla video

includes the statements of Robert Powell (MUFON’s Director of

Research), Dr. Richard F. Haines (NARCAP founder), Morgan

Beall (Florida MUFON State Director), Dave (an anonymous

U.S. thermal imaging (FLIR camera) expert) (identity confirmed

by Openminds.tv) and Marc D’Antonio (MUFON’s photo and video analyst):

http://www.openminds.tv/experts-chime-in-on-puerto-rico-ufo-video/34909

Quote from the article:

“This expert’s name is Dave, and he says he is a ‘Depot Level FLIR Technician that is quite familiar with government FLIR systems, including the one in question.’ He says, ‘I have 10 years of experience with infrared systems and I have viewed thousands of hours of combined live and recorded video.’

He says, ‘The absence of any obvious propulsion system and the heat it generates is quite fascinating. The object’s movement is atypical to what I generally see in infrared video; it moves more like a projectile.’

Dave also doesn’t believe the video is fake. He writes: ‘It’s my opinion that the video is legitimate, it would be quite difficult to fake. The video is consistent to the manual tracking of an airborne object.’

Dave says he and his colleagues, who all have an interest in the video, don’t know what the object is.”

UFO News Article: “UFO theorists gain support abroad, but repression at home”

By Leslie Kean, 21 May 2000 
(The Boston Globe, Massachusetts)

Quote from the article:

“US Naval Reserve Commander Willard H. Miller has long been communicating this same concern to high level federal officials. With over 30 years in Navy and joint interagency operations with the Defense Department, Miller has participated in a series of previously undisclosed briefings for Pentagon brass about military policy regarding UFOs.

Like many, Miller says he worries that the military's lack of preparation for encounters with unexplained craft could provoke dangerous confrontation when, and if, such an encounter occurs; ‘precipitous military decisions,’ he warns, ‘may lead to unnecessary confusion, misapplication of forces, or possible catastrophic consequences.’

And he says he is not alone in his concerns. ‘There are those in high places in the government who share a growing interest in this subject,’ Miller reports.”
