UFO Article (Blog) (Redux):
“The Air Force Investigates The Flying Disks”
By Dr. Michael D. Swords, 1 September 2009
(The Big Study)
Michael D. Swords informs about the first
inquiries (in 1947) the U.S.
Air Force made into UFOs.
Quote from the article:
“In late June of 1947, the flying disks had begun to appear all over the
United States .
This was the Air Force’s area of concern, and, after convincing themselves that
this was not citizen craziness, they got on the job. The document on the upper
right is an example of how quickly this happened and at what level of
authority. It’s a note from General Nathan Twining [Commander of
Wright-Patterson AFB, and the AF’s high technology research group] to Brigadier
General Samuel Brentnall who was chief of the Engineering Technology division
there. Twining and Brentnall have been discussing Flying Disk reports [there is
a newspaper story on them clipped to this note] already by the beginning of
July. So, the AF’s technology wizards are quite interested in what this mystery
device is, which has now been reported by many of their own
flyers.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The major information point for flying disk reports was in the Pentagon
at the Air Force’s Intelligence Division. There they had a Collections branch
commanded by Colonel Robert Taylor III. His right-hand man was Lt. Colonel
George Garrett. Garrett got the job of collecting and correlating all the
flying disk information. He had an FBI contact named S.L. Reynolds. The reason
for the contact was that the intelligence community initially suspected that
some of these reports were made by Soviet sympathizers in order to scare the
public. They quickly found out otherwise [Soviet sympathizers weren't flying at
30,000 feet
in metal disks to scare people in New
Mexico ], and Garrett and Reynolds settled down to try
to figure out what WAS going on.”
Swords also presents U.S.
government (U.S. Air Force and Federal Bureau of Investigation) documents that
pertain to the UFO investigations.
I first reported about this article on 22 August 2013.

The whole UFO case report:
“Animal Reaction Feature:
At 8:30 pm, Thunder, a 175-pound Great Dane, ‘went crazy’ and barked for
3 minutes. His owner, Cindy Tillison, went to see what was going on. Thunder
was standing at the sliding doors in the kitchen barking toward the woods. When
Tillison looked, she saw a huge V-shaped object. The object remained for 20
minutes and, throughout this time, Thunder appeared frightened and barked
continuously with ears straight up. The next day he refused to go out.
Joan Woodward, Animal Reaction Feature:
The V-shaped object was glowing a very bright auburn color and had
lights similar to headlights but much larger. When Tillison flicked her
floodlights on and off, the object appeared to move in response, after which
she left the lights off. During the 20 minutes of observation, the object
projected a big, steady beam of light, seemingly from its center. The beam was
very wide, estimated a little less than half the size of the object. The big
round lights did change, going off [and on?—jw] and changing colors. The object
disappeared when the witness was not looking.
No sound was mentioned. No EM effects or physiological effects were
reported.

The whole UFO case report:
“Animal Reaction Feature:
When a group of V-shaped lights approached and passed almost directly
overhead, a family’s pet cat, appearing frightened with its hair standing on
end and its tail straight up, ran into the house.
Joan Woodward, Animal Reaction Specialist:
At 8:45 pm, A Yorktown man with an aerospace background saw a
V-formation of lights that circled his home twice. He estimated its altitude at
1500 feet
and he heard a very quiet sound coming from it.
Jerry Karp, advertising executive, who lived a half mile away from the
above location, noticed bright lights through his window. He went outdoors and saw a V-shaped series of
lights approaching and called his family to come out and look at them. When the lights were at their closest point
to them (almost overhead), the cat reacted as described above. At this point the object turned 90 degrees
and moved away. When overhead, they
heard an engine-like sound that was not loud but clearly audible.

The whole UFO case report:
“Animal Reaction Feature:
David Scarpino, accountant, was walking his Golden Retriever around the Ossining
Reservoir at 8:15 pm. He saw bright lights in a boomerang formation hovering
over a large tree a few feet away from him. His dog did not appear to notice
the object.
Joan Woodward, Animal Reaction Specialist:
Scarpino noticed the lights over his shoulder and turned to see 12 bright
lights as described above. He thought the lights were on one solid object and
compared its size to that of a 747. He could hear no sound. As he watched, the
lights slowly turned 180 degrees ‘as if on a wheel’ and started moving south at
walking speed. The object again hovered. All but one blue and one green light
went out, and then those lights blinked out. Nothing more was seen.
No EM effects and no physiological effects were reported.
This was one of hundreds of boomerang sightings between 7:30 pm and 9:30
pm in Westchester and Putnam
Counties .

PM. A mother and daughter named O’Driscoll, driving near the frozen White Pond
