UFO Newspaper Letter:
“The Morning’s Mail:
UFO Sighting Nets Odd Explanation”
23 October 1967
(The Post-Standard, Syracuse ,
New York )
Source: NewspaperArchive.com
The whole letter:
“To the Editor of The Post-Standard.
I’m beginning to think that we in this area have been ‘had.’ In the past
three years, many local UFO sightings have been reported by the press here. You
may recall that a good percentage of these was ‘explained’ as the
misidentification by the observers of a high-altitude, experimental aircraft
from Griffiss Air Force Base at nearby Rome .
So many of our local large-scale sightings have been instantly ‘crushed’
by word from Hancock Field Air Force officials or from Griffiss itself. We have
heard this ‘experimental aircraft’ theory so much that it seems to be a now
customary reply for those who report that they have seen a UFO.
I am amazed now to learn that it isn’t just this area that has been
flooded with these ‘explanations.’ I firmly believe that it’s high time we
re-evaluate the worth of these statements, mainly because of this incident:
Several months ago, during nine consecutive evening hours, hundreds of
persons in the Oneonta area observed an object flashing red, white, and
greenish-blue lights alternately. Among the observers were a newspaper sports
editor, a Chamber of Commerce executive, and a school district superintendent.
In Oneonta, just as in Syracuse , a statement
was issued by Griffiss AFB to the effect that they had a lighted high-altitude
plane aloft at the time which was flying in a circle over Rome .
This is one time when that worn-out
explanation didn’t go over very well. Witnesses to the sighting quickly
rejected Griffiss statement, explaining that Rome
is approximately north-northwest of Oneonta — and the
UFO was seen in the east, toward Stamford .
ROBERT BARROW, Syracuse .”
My comment:
This newspaper letter is something to think about the next time we read
some of Project Blue Book’s UFO case reports or read/hear military statements
about UFO incidents.

“UFOs Reported In LA Area”
23 March 1977
(The Times, San Mateo ,
California )

The whole article:
“Police, sheriff’s deputies, highway
patrol officers and Air Force guards reported a rash of UFO sightings in Southern California — at least
seven in a 9-hour period.
The law enforcement officers reported mysterious
bright lights that hovered, cruised and zoomed in the skies over Los Angeles , Orange , Ventura , Riverside and San Bernardino counties.
All the sightings were reported Monday night [21 March
1977] and early Tuesday [22 March 1977].
A Los Angeles Sheriff’s helicopter crew — Raymond
Davis, 39, and Theodore Roach, 40 — said they were about 600 feet over La Mirada Monday night
when they observed two lights in the Whittier Hills area.
They tried to follow them at 80 miles an hour but the
objects were faster.
About eight hours later, at 3:30 a.m. Tuesday,
security guards at March Air Force Base in the desert 50 miles east of Los Angeles reported
mysterious bright lighted objects in the sky.
Nearby, two Highway Patrol officers, Robert Scholl and
L. Orchard, noted in their log ‘a bright light with a vapour trail’ that
hovered over the Box Springs Canyon
area north of the air base in Riverside
County .
At the same time and 50 miles to the west, Los Angeles [Sheriff’s]
Deputies Lonnie Hicks, 28, and Robert Carr, 34, said they saw a bright light
following another light through the sky over Firestone. A resident in the area
called the sheriff’s station to report the same objects, deputies said.
About 10 minutes later and 12 miles to the south,
Deputy John McSorley at the sheriff’s helicopter station at Long Beach reported two mysterious bright
lights eastbound over the airfield.
Another 12 miles to the southwest, and five minutes
later, two objects were reported by police in Huntington Beach .
About the same time, officers in Ventura County ,
some 60 miles
to the northwest, reported similar sightings.
Sgt. Vincent Rupp, monitoring radio traffic at the
East Los Angeles Sheriff’s Station, said there were many radio reports of such
sightings between 3:45 and 4 a .m.
in Southern California and some from as far away as Salinas .”

Quote from the Wikipedia article:
“March Air Reserve Base (IATA: RIV, ICAO: KRIV,
FAA LID: RIV) (March ARB), previously known as March
Air Force Base (March AFB) is located in Riverside
County , California between the
cities of Riverside , Moreno Valley ,
and Perris. It is the home to the Air Force Reserve Command’s Fourth Air Force
(4 AF) Headquarters and the host 452d Air Mobility Wing (452 AMW), the largest
air mobility wing of the Fourth Air Force.[3] In addition to multiple units of
the Air Force Reserve Command supporting Air Mobility Command, Air Combat
Command and Pacific Air Forces, March ARB is also home to units from the Army
Reserve, Navy Reserve, Marine Corps Reserve, California Air National Guard and
the California Army National Guard. For almost 50 years, March AFB was a
Strategic Air Command base during the Cold War. The facility covers 2,075 acres (840 ha ) of land.[2]”

10:40 PM. A Chinese Civil Aviation Administration Boeing 747 encountered
a UFO on the Peking to Paris
flight that almost forced the captain to make an emergency landing. Flight CA 933 was over Lanzhou , the capital of Gansu Province ,
at 2240 hours when Captain Wang Shuting and his crew first observed the object.
The UFO flew across the path of the airliner at its altitude of 33,000 feet at a very
high speed. The object illuminated an area of twenty-five to thirty square
miles and was huge, with an apparent diameter of six miles. It was elliptical
in shape and had an extremely bright spot in the center, with three horizontal
rows of bluish-white lights on the perimeter. The sighting lasted for two
minutes. (Source: Timothy Good, Above Top Secret, pg. 212).”

observed a dome shaped circular UFO that appeared to ‘fire’ balls of light to
the ground for two hours. He submitted a report with one other officer that was
sent to the Ministry of Defence and the Civil Aviation Authority. The
Superintendent for Harrow Police station at the time said that the report by

“5½ Inches in a Month –
Girl Who Saw UFO Is Growing Taller”
29 June 1964
(The Albuquerque Tribune, New Mexico )
Source: NewspaperArchive.com
The whole article:
“Is it normal for a 10-year-old girl to grow 5½ inches and gain 25 pounds in a single
month?
Mrs. Max Stull, 1409 Wilmoore SE, said today that her 10-year-old
daughter, Sharon, has done just that during the past month.
Mrs. Stull said she is worried because her
daughter’s growth began just one month after the girl suffered eye burns while
gazing at a strange, egg-shaped object in the sky here on April 28 [1964].
Recovers
Mrs. Stull said today that her daughter has recovered
from the eye burns, although she still must wear dark glasses in the sunlight
and can only read a few paragraphs in a book before her eyes begin to smart
again.
Mrs. Stull said that her daughter’s personality and
habits have changed during her recent and sudden growth.
‘A month ago she was just a child who liked to play
with dolls and paper dolls,’ Mrs. Stull said. ‘Now she is suddenly mature and
grown-up, cooks meals for herself, cleans house and takes care of the younger
children.’
Mrs. Stull said that Sharon , at the time she saw the strange
object in the sky, was 4-feet, 8-inches tall and weighed about 85 pounds .
Today, she said, her daughter is 5-feet, 1½ inches
tall and weighs 110
pounds — and is still growing fast.
Mrs. Stull said that Sharon has outgrown all her clothes and
quickly outgrows new clothing and shoes.
Mrs. Stull Confused
‘I’m so confused I don’t know what to believe,’ Mrs.
Stull said.
Sharon, who will be 11 in October, say quietly in
her home as reporters interviewed her mother. Asked how she felt, the child
replied, ‘I just feel funny.’
Mrs. Stull said that a scientist from Tucson ,
whom she identified as C. E. Lorenzo, visited and talked with Sharon over the weekend.
She said that a Los Angeles
physician has offered to examine and treat the child free of charge if the
family can get her to California
this summer. She said she and her husband are not financially able to take the
child to California .
Mrs. Stull said her daughter has never been checked
for possible radiation burns.
‘I know she [definitely] saw something in the sky that
day, but I don’t know what,’ she said. ‘It has been a nightmare ever since — I
wish I had let her play hooky that day.’ ”
