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.

(NICAP.org)

The whole UFO case report:
”8:00 PM. A mother and daughter named O’Driscoll, driving near the frozen White Pond in Kent Cliffs saw a silent, multi-colored 200-300 foot wide boomerang-shaped object with many lights, at a minimum distance of 100 meters, which seemed to respond to their thoughts. It had a crisscross lattice structure and tubes on its underneath side. Their car radio experience RF interference. Another independent witness that night saw probably the same object, a V-shaped array of 50 lights with the colors amber, red, and blue. (Sources: J. Allen Hynek and Philip Imbrogno, Night Seige, p. 8; UNICAT database, case 209, citing J. Allen Hynek; Richard F. Haines, CE-5: Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind, p. 156).”

On This Day [UFOINFO.com UFO case report]:

September 21

1966 - Eight members of the Royal Canadian Air Force saw a bright object that flew down at high speed in Summerside, Prince Edward Island, Canada. It stopped abruptly, remained at ground level for 20 minutes, then flew away straight up. There was radar-visual confirmation of the UFO over a missile site. NORAD was alerted and jet interceptors were scrambled.
