UFO News Article:
“When the night’s skies held more than stars – Colusa family recalls UFO sighting”
19 September 1979
(Valley Herald, Yuba
City , California
Sources: U.F.O. Newsclipping Service, Plumerville , Arkansas
The article reports on the Bill Pecha, Jr. UFO
sighting (occurred at around 1:00 a.m.).
Quote from the article (Page 2):
“Three years ago — on September 10th, 1976 — a
Colusa man, his wife, several of his neighbors, and a handful of other
witnesses claimed they saw an unidentified flying object over Colusa. The case
has since become one of the most well-documented UFO sightings in recent history, but it is a
mystery that has yet to be solved — and a sighting that has yet to be proven or
disproven by UFO experts — even after three years.”

UFO News Article:
“UFO Over Colusa? – Bill Pecha’s Story”
13 September 1976
(Colusa Sun-Herald ,
California
Sources: U.F.O. Newsclipping Service, Seattle , Washington
The whole article (Pages 1 and 2):
“ ‘It was a nightmarish experience I’ll never forget.
I didn’t believe in UFOs before, but I do now. You’d have to see it to believe
it, but so help me what I saw — and felt — about 1 A .M. Friday
(10 September 1976) outside our house is the truth.’
(10 September 1976) outside our house is the truth.’
That’s what Bill Pecha, Jr., who does machine and
bankout wagon work in his shop at 1650 Wilson Avenue, Colusa, told the
Sun-Herald in describing what happened after the power went off (the power
outage lasted for about nine minutes) while he was watching a Channel 12
television program. His wife and two children were asleep at the time. Said
Pecha:
‘When the power went off I started outside and saw
this huge glowing thing hovering over our house. It looked to me like it was 150 feet across and from 10
to 18 feet
in height shooting out beams of bluish light. It looked like a huge inverted
cup and saucer with the outer brim spinning clockwise and an inner disc
spinning counter clockwise. When I got outside I felt funny. Seemed like all
the hair on my body was being pulled up.
‘There were three of these things, the big one and two
smaller ones on the high power line in back of the ‘Slim’ Davis 846 Thirteenth Street Sacramento
Pecha said the Arants drove into town, too, as a
report was made to the sheriff's office which apparently had received other reports
from Colusa area residents who had seen the strange glowing object.
Pecha said he was so frightened that he drove into town as fast as he could in his
pickup with the lights out. But, he said, the bluish light from this thing,
about 50 feet
off the ground, seemingly followed him, then disappeared. He further described
the events which transpired thusly:
‘Slim Davis and his wife were asleep. There was a
bluish light all over their place, and coming down these shafts of light turned
to an all-white color. This thing darted about, clear out to the foothills and
back. On each side it had two things about eight feet long which hung down and
curled around underneath it. They looked like wire bristles. The power line
poles were glowing and the two smaller UFOs each had lights.
‘All of this happened, I guess, in a matter of 15 or
20 minutes. A call was placed to Phenomena Research, the UFO reporting center
in Seattle , Washington
Pecha, who said he and his family didn’t get much
sleep after the early Friday morning incident, told his story to a number of Colusans
and has received numerous telephone calls. ‘I
guess some believe me and some don’t,’ he said. ‘But I know what I and
others saw. It made a UFO believer out of me, that’s for sure.’
Pechas said two officers from the sheriff’s department
came out to talk with him further about what he saw. It is also understood that
a man from the UFO reporting center in Seattle
Pacific Gas & Electric Company officials who were
contacted about the incident said there may have been some relation between it
and the fact that about the time the power outage occurred shortly before 1 A .M. Friday, the PG&E
substation at Victorville went out, causing a high voltage power line overload.
The nine-minute power outage affected thousands of Northern California homes.
It was suggested that the power overload caused static
electricity being conducted into the ground and this might have accounted for
the weird, glowing UFO witnessed and experienced by Pecha and others.
But Pecha doesn’t buy this theory. ‘It was big, it was
real, it was terrifying — shafts of light seemingly come at you, hovering over barns and houses,
darting away, coming back, moving upward, then shooting back down close to the
ground. I wasn’t a believer in UFOs before, but I certainly am now. I don’t
ever want to go through anything like this again.’ ”
The article contains Bill Pecha’s drawing of the UFO.
I also reported about this UFO case on 3 November 2013.

UFO Report:
“The 1976 UFO Chronology”
Created: 15 July 2007
Updated: 23 January 2017
(NICAP.org)
Quote from the UFO report:
“Our thanks for these chronologies must go to our
documentation team: Richard Hall (the original 1976 chronology from UFOE II),
William Wise (Project Blue Book Archive), Dan Wilson (archive researcher), Brad
Sparks (Comprehensive Catalog of Project Blue Book Unknowns), and Jean
Waskiewicz (online NICAP DBase [NSID]). The latest entries are courtesy of
A-Team member, Mike Swords.
Richard Hall was International Coordinator for MUFON
at this time and he has provided a number of cases besides those listed in the
UFOE II. Dan Wilson submitted the NICAP UFOI sightings. Some of the brief
entries are database listings from NIDS or CUFOS.
NICAP Site Coordinator
Jan. 21, 1976; Cannon AFB, NM
Sometime before 3:55 a.m. MST. NMCC Memo: The
following information was received from the Air Force Operations center at 0555
EST: ‘Two UFOs are reported near the flight line at Cannon AFB, New Mexico 25 yards in diameter, gold
or silver in color with blue light on top, hole in the middle and red light on
the bottom. Air Force is checking with radar. Additionally, checking weather
inversion data.’ (Actual FOIA document) Among other UFO researchers who arrived
in Clovis Los Alamos observers arrived. (Las Cruces SUN NEWS,
Sunday Morning, Jan. 25, 1976)
Reports of the sightings have increased steadily since
the first night. Most of the reports have been of faraway objects, but Town
Marshal Willie Ronquillo of Texico said he followed a silent object about 300 yards over his car.
Ronquillo said the object, which had green, yellow and blue lights, sped away
at a high speed to the north. Lenore Hildebrand of the UFO center in Wisconsin said Jim Epps of Valley
Center , Calif. , would arrive in Clovis Clovis
NOTE: The Port Austin, Michigan, UFO incident occurred
on Tuesday, 7 September 1976, according to the news article, “Objects Visible
Near Pt. Austin – AF Confirms ‘Radar Returns’ On Night Of UFO Sightings” (realtvufos.blogspot.com).
I also reported about this UFO report on 25 August
2013.
Wikipedia article: “Cannon Air Force Base”:
Quote from the Wikipedia article:
“Cannon Air Force Base is a United States Air Force
Base, located approximately 7
miles (11
km ) southwest of Clovis ,
New Mexico
Cannon AFB was established in 1942 as Army Air Base, Clovis
A variety of special operations aircraft are stationed
at Cannon, including the AC-130W Stinger II, MQ-1 Predator, MQ-9 Reaper, CV-22
Osprey and several versions of light and medium transport aviation aircraft.
The AC-130W is assigned to the 73rd Special Operations Squadron, with all
twelve becoming operational in 2010.[5]”

“Objects Visible Near Pt. Austin –
AF Confirms ‘Radar Returns’
On Night Of UFO Sightings”
8 September 1976
(Huron Daily Tribune, Bad Axe, Michigan
Sources: U.F.O.
Newsclipping Service, Seattle Washington
The whole article (Page 1):
“Official confirmation of ‘radar returns’ on the
scopes at the 754th Radar Squadron in Port Austin, at the same time private
citizens and police officers claimed they saw unidentified flying objects (UFOs)
southwest of the village, has come from the U.S. Air Force NORAD Combat
Operation Center in Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado.
As many as seven or eight bright glowing objects that
changed color, shape, and moved horizontally and vertically at incredible
speeds were sighted early Tuesday (7 September 1976) by the manager of a
campground located eight miles southwest of Port Austin.
The initial sightings were made in the nearby Oak Beach
Two Huron Sheriff deputies also reported watching the
objects for several minutes at altitudes ranging (based on estimates) from as
high as 40,000 feet
and as low as 1,000 feet .
One of the deputies, 24-year-old Greg Gordon of Port
Austin, attempted to photograph the objects with an instamatic camera carried
as standard equipment in the patrol car. The objects vanished at daybreak, but
the officers said their sudden disappearance from the radar scopes at Port Austin
coincided exactly with the sounding of the electronic burglar alarm at the Air
Force station store (PX).
Although the Air Force has a reputation for reluctance
in making comments relative to UFO sightings, the following official statement
was released Tuesday afternoon through the local installation by information
officer Lt. Robert W. Newman:
‘Radar Operators at the 754th Radar Squadron at Port
Austin AFS, MI, reported seeing radar returns at approximately 0145 hours
E.D.T.
‘The returns were kept under observation for
approximately 30 minutes. Some personnel on duty also visually sited lights in
the sky in the same approximate area.
‘The NORAD Combat Operation
Center located in Cheyenne Mountain , Colorado
On Tuesday night, a predictable number of new
sightings were reported mainly in the Bad Axe area, but these were believed
either to be stars and possibly a lighted weather satellite visible as it
passes through the sky on clear nights.
No plausible explanation has been given for the
objects observed early Tuesday.”
Wikipedia article: “Port Austin Air Force Station”:
Quote from the Wikipedia article:
“Port Austin Air Force Station (ADC ID: P-61, NORAD
ID: Z-61) is a closed United States Air Force General Surveillance Radar
station. It is located 1.2
miles (1.9
km ) south-southwest Port Austin, Michigan. It was closed
in 1988 by the Air Force.
After the station’s closure, it was replaced by the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) at Canton, Michigan (near Detroit)
42°16′36″N 083°28′27″W as part of the Joint Surveillance System (JSS),
designated by NORAD as Eastern Air Defense Sector (EADS) Ground Equipment
Facility J-62.”

“The 1972 UFO Chronology”
Created: 15 March 2007
Updated: 5 April 2012
(NICAP.org)
Quote from the UFO report:
“This is a 7-page chronology of UFO incidents and
events for 1972. I had taken a job transfer in 1971 which took me away from my
NICAP subcommittee team at Vincennes , Indiana , and was now in contact with Walt Andrus working
as a State Section Director for MUFON at Hillsboro ,
Illinois
Our thanks for all these chronologies must go to our
documentation team: Richard Hall (the original 1972 chronology from UFOE II),
William Wise (Project Blue Book Archive), Dan Wilson (archive researcher), Brad
Sparks (Comprehensive Catalog of Project Blue Book Unknowns), and Jean
Waskiewicz (online NICAP DBase [NSID]).
NICAP Site Coordinator
March 8, 1972; Muskegon ,
MI
A large number of witnesses, including police
officers, FAA officials, U.S. Coast Guard personnel and numerous other Muskegon citizens observed a brightly colored UFO around
9:15 P.M., in the sky above this Michigan 16, a UHF band used by Coast
Guard, was filled with a strong code signal that could not be deciphered.
Government officials later said that an investigation would be conducted and
that they were under orders not to comment on the case until it was completed.
The Air Force was contacted by the Michigan States Police at the time of the
sighting. (Reference: UFO INVESTIGATOR, May 1972, page 3)”
