UFO Report:
“The 1958 UFO Chronology”
Created: 24 February 2006
Updated: 24 April (year unknown)
(NICAP.org)
Quote from the UFO report:
“This is a 9-page report on a project involving a
number of people. A lot of the incidents do not yet have active links to
reports. Blue Book microfilms are only processed to mid-1952, so it will be
some time before we can accomplish that goal. However, this is a comprehensive
list for 1958 and will also suffice as a good work and checklist for our team.
With the help of William Wise (Project Blue Book Archive), and Dan Wilson
(archive researcher), the task becomes much easier. But without Brad Sparks’
updated list, the Comprehensive Catalog of Project Blue Book Unknowns, the
entire project would have been impossible. And our thanks also go to Jean
Waskiewicz who created the online NICAP DBase (NSID) that helped make it
possible to link from the cases to the reports themselves. Note: Entries marked
Cat. 3 are E-M (Electro-Magnetic interference cases) from the Cat. 3 printout
where sources are listed. ‘UFOE’ is the NICAP publication, The UFO Evidence
(Richard Hall, 1964).

“How a UFO buzzed Loring”
30 September 1982
(Herald, Manchester ,
Connecticut
Sources: U.F.O. Newsclipping Service, Plumerville , Ark ansas
Quote from the article (Page 1):
“It’s been almost seven years since Steve Eichner saw
the glowing craft shaped ‘like an elongated football’ hovering over a nuclear
weapons storage area at Loring Air Force Base in Maine.
It’s only within the last year, however, that he has
learned that it was not an isolated incident, but one of a series of sightings
of Unidentified Flying Objects seen over U.S. Air Force bases in the fall of
1975.
Eichner, now a Coventry
resident, found out about the string of sightings from Larry Fawcett, a Coventry
The men discussed the sightings Wednesday night as
part of a presentation about UFOs by Manchester
ALTHOUGH MANY years have passed since he saw the
craft, the memory of that fall night, shortly before Halloween, when the ship
broke through stringent security precautions and evaded pursuors with
incredible speed, is still vivid in Eichner’s mind.
Eichner was a crew chief on a B-52, working the second
shift, when he first saw the red-orange object that looked like ‘a
stretched-out football’ hovering over the area where nuclear bombs carried by
the B-52s were stored.
The object was only visible for a short time, Eichner
said, before the lights on it went out and it disappeared. Within a few
minutes, it reappeared over an airstrip, he said, and his crew drove toward it,
down a back road into a restricted area where even they should not have been.
The men stopped the truck about 300 feet away from the
object, which hovered about five feet off the ground, Eichner said. It appeared
to be about the length of four cars, he said, and seemed to be solid — no doors or windows were
visible. It made no noise, he added.
‘It’s a weird feeling,’ Eichner recalled. ‘You don’t
want to talk about it at first. You’re supposed to be brave Gls and you just
look at one another and say, ‘I’m not going out there’.’
THE MEN DID get out of the truck to look at the craft,
Eichner said. They observed it for about 15 seconds before ‘the base went
crazy’ and security forces, with sirens and flashing lights, began to converge
on the airstrip and the craft took off.
Eichner said he heard that the craft was pursued by an
F-4 airplane. The craft, he said, was reported to travel at speeds in excess of
1,200 miles
per hour —
and pulled away from the F-4 ‘like it was standing still.’
Eichner said he also heard that while the craft was
over the base, communications were cut off.
The next day officials called the people on the base
together and said that what they saw was a helicopter.
‘We knew it was no helicopter,’ Eichner said. ‘It
couldn’t have been.’
FAWCETT AGREES that what Eichner saw at Loring was not
a helicopter. Unidentified craft seen in the next few weeks at Stategic Air Command
bases in Michigan , North Dakota
and Montana
Fawcett said the incident in Novemeber 1975 at
Malmstrom Minuteman ICBM base in Montana
Fawcett, who got much of his information from the
government through Freedom of Information Act requests, said the government has
told him that all documentation on the incident has been destroyed. He charged
that the government is trying to coverup what went on at Malmstrom — and at other bases — in
that fall.
Based on interviews with people like Eichner who saw
the UFOs and with pilots of pursuit vehicles, Fawcett hopes to write a book
about the incident, which he said pertains to national security.”
Wikipedia article: “Loring Air Force Base”:
Quote from the Wikipedia article:
“Loring Air Force Base (IATA: LIZ, ICAO: KLIZ) was a
United States Air Force installation in northeastern Maine ,
near Limestone and Caribou in Aroostook
County
Weapons Storage Area
The Nuclear Weapons Storage Area at Loring once
operated as a separate, top secret facility. Originally called the North River
Depot, the remote area to the northeast of Loring’s property was the first U.S.
In 1951, the Department of Defense (DOD) allocated
funds for the construction of an ordnance storage site at Loring AFB. The designs
called for a self-sufficient ‘maximum security storage area for the most
advanced weapons of mankind’. The mission of the facility would be the
protection and maintenance of the weapons used by SAC. The facility was in the
northeast corner of the base, and construction began on 4 August 1951. In addition to 28
storage igloos and other weapons storage structures, the facility included
weapons maintenance buildings, barracks, recreational facilities, a warehouse,
and offices.[19]
A parallel series of four fences, one of which was
electrified, surrounded the heart of the storage area. This area was nicknamed
the ‘Q’ Area, which denoted the Department of Energy’s Q clearance required to
have access to Restricted Data.[19]
In June 1962, the Atomic Energy Commission released
its custody and ownership of the weapons to the Air Force. The personnel and
property of the later named Caribou Air Force Station were absorbed into the
adjacent Loring Air Force Base.[19]”

March 24, 1955; Ryukyu Islands ,
Japan (BBU)
2:30 PM local. 14:30 GMT. A pilot was giving flying
lessons to a student pilot over Ryukyu Islands .
A glowing ‘hat-shaped’ object with three ‘windows’ in the ‘crown’, came into
view to his left. This extraordinary object changed color from white to orange,
as it flew around the Beechcraft plane, ‘looking it over’. None of the
instruments worked and the engine sputtered. In a panic, the instructor pilot
went into a dive to lose the unwelcome aerial companion, but the UFO easily
stayed with the single engine aircraft. Two jets were sent from Kadena AFB.

The whole UFO case report:
“Fran Ridge:
This is case #34 of the Project Blue Book ‘Unknowns’. That night a United Airlines crew flying near Emmett, Idaho, saw five ‘somethings’ which were thin and smooth on the bottom and rough appearing on top, silhouetted against the sunset shortly after the plane took off from Boise at 8:04 P.M. ‘We saw them clearly. We followed them in a northeasterly direction for about 45 miles . They finally disappeared. We were unable to tell whether they out sped us or disintegrated.’
Brad Sparks:
July 4, 1947; Near Emmett , Idaho
9:12 [8:17? 8:12?] p.m. (MST). United Air Lines Flight 105 Capt. Emil J. Smith, First Officer Ralph Stevens, Stewardess Marty Morrow who was called in by Smith as a confirming witness, flying NW on heading 300° from Boise to Seattle at about 7,000 ft , saw 5 disc-shaped objects with flat bottoms and rough tops (possibly 100+ ft size) move at varying speeds, in loose formation [or evenly spaced?] roughly 1,000 ft higher in altitude about 10° left of their heading [or at 290°], with one high and to the right of the others in the distance, all disappearing to the W [NW?] in a gradual climb at about 9:20 p.m. as 5 [4?] additional similar objects came into view slightly higher heading W [or took off to the NW; 3 objects in a line with 1 off to the side]. Smith tried to close on the objects at 185 mph as he climbed from 7,000 to 8,000 ft but could not. 12-15-mins. (Berliner; cf. McDonald 1968; Bloecher 1967; FBI..)”

Quote from the UFO report:
“This 26 page chrono involves a number of people.
First of all, I want to thank Ted Bloecher. His 1967 work, the entire updated
version, is available on the NICAP site (See below). Over a thousand incidents,
many of which are included in the chronology below, are listed in the charts
from ‘The Report on the UFO Wave of 1947’ (Reference 1). We also wish to thank Wendy Connors and Mike
Hall for allowing us to post their great book, ‘Alfred Loedding and the Great
Flying Saucer Wave of 1947’ .
No 1947 work would be complete without the aid of Jan Aldrich of Project 1947.
I want to thank all the members of the A-Team who made this possible. To view
the 1947 sightings listed by Blue Book click here. Be sure to click on and read
the two great books below. Finally, I want thank Loren Gross for thoughtfully
and diligently collecting data many years ago for his UFO Histories and
supplemental notes, in particular here the year 1947. And a big thanks to CUFOS
and Mary Castnor for housing them on the CUFOS site.

“Scientist Accuses CIA of
World Plot to ‘Debunk’ UFOs”
9 July 1967
(The Philadelphia
Inquirer, Pennsylvania
Source: theufochronicles.com
Quote from the article:
“An American scientist contended Saturday that flying
saucers were visiting the earth from another world and accused governments of a
deliberate program to debunk their existence.
Prof. James McDonald, 47, senior physicist of the Institute of Atmospheric
Physics and professor in the department of meteorology at the University of Minnesota
But he told newsmen here that scientific proof of
flying saucers and acceptance of their existence had been delayed by a
deliberate debunking program arranged by many governments and backed by the
U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.
McDonald, who was in Sydney
to investigate sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) seen over Australia
This, he said, was a device to solve the problem of
the large number of operatives tied up on UFO sightings.”
