"UFOs are the Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse."

--- Dr. Lincoln La Paz

"Supplemental Notes" consist of mat~ial under consideration for any revision of the original UFO history volume covering this time period.

-

Most of the information that make this supplement possible came from Robert Gribble, Murray Bott, George Fawcett, Les Treece-Sinclair, Barry Greenwood, Jan Aldrich, Capt. William Nash, the CUFOS archives and the private papers of the late Dr. James McDonald. By sharing, all of UFO logy benefits. There are going to be errors in this supplement, and others that follow, but there is much to cover and I am moving, as the Wavy says, at "flank speed." ·

Fall1954. Gary, Indiana. (about 8 o'clock)

Terrible roar?

In a letter to Coral Lorenzen of APRO, a UFO witness wrote:

"As to the 1954 sighting of the UFO I told you about. The whole incident happen­ed so long ago, that I don't feel I could even begin to be technically accurate concerning the details, particularly since I had never studied UFOs prior to that ~ime, and in fact thought the whole idea of extraterrestrial visitors stupid.

"I do remember a few general things. It was a warm Fall evening, about 8 o'clock. The UFO was of the type most characteristic at that time-round, with a dome on top, and red and green blinking lights around the edge. It hovered about 100 feet over my comer grocery store, where I was going, when said object came into view. It was tre­mendous in size, but I have no idea as to its exact size. I don't remember seeing any little windows, and I certainly didn't see any little men inside. The object did not send down any rays or beams of light.

"What I remember about it the most was the deafening noise it made. It was a terrible roar-the equal of which I have not heard before or since. My mother in her. apartment about half a block away had to stuff cotton in her ears because she felt as though her eardrums were going to being out on the street, all that I could do was to clap my hands over my ears.

"Another strange thing that may be noted concerning the appearance of this strange craft in the downtown section of Gary, and witnessed by a crowd of at least 50 persons, was that nothing was said about it in the paper the next da):. Since I was not particularly interested in UFOs at the time, I didn't follow up the matter any fur­ther." ( xx.)

3 September. Obersuessback, (Barvaria) Germany. (daytime)

Hop-pickers see a "flat machine."

According to a press account:

"Munich (A.F.P.)-A flat machine of circular shape, with 'fringed' edges, was seen yesterday morning over Obersuessback (Barvaria) by some hop-pickers, the D.P.A. re­ports.

"The village schoolmaster, who was the first to notice the object, declares it was moving East to West at great speed. All witnesses were agreed that it was distinctly vis­ible against the blue sky, and that no optical illusion could be responsible." (xx.)

3 September. Carswell AFB, Fort Worth, Texas.

" It was flying within a 100 feet. "

A press account says:

"Barksdale Air Force Base figures into one sighting, and several Shreveporters admit having seen something in the sky they can't explain--even as much as 20 years later.

" Walter Andrus, head ofthe Texas-based Mutual UFO Network, or MUFON, says the widow of a B-47 crew member based at Barksdale provided information about a sighting involving her husband's airplane.

'The aircraft, he said, was flying a practice bomb run over Texas of September 3, 1954, when the control tower at Carswell Air Force Base in Fort Worth directed them to investigate a suspected UFO.

" 'They were at 25,000 feet when they discovered the object-flying within l 00 feet, above them,' Andrus said.

"The UFO dogged the airplane for an hour, then left as quickly as it had appear­ed. During the hour, however, the crew took photographs.

" 'But when the plane landed at Barksdale, their film was confiscated and they were questioned for three days,' Andrus said, adding that the men were told to share their tale with no one-not even their wives.

""Finally, the bombardier-navigator told his wife, and she called us,' he said. "Spokesmen at Barksdale could not confirm the incident." (xx.)

3-5 September. Austria.

UFO researcher E. Berger wrote: " ... the three days and nights of September 3, 4 and 5 pro­duced 20 unidentified sightings and started a first wave of publicity with headlines all over Austria. This was still before the onset of the great French flap." (xx.) (Some of these re­ports could have been meteors-L.E. Gross)

RCAF plane circles saucer?

A news dispatch out of Canada stated:

''North Bay, Sept. 5-A West Ferris businessman reported today that he saw an RCAF plane fly in a circle around a flying saucer, then go back to the air base here Without doing anything about it.

"Harold Pirie, proprietor of a restaurant four miles south of the city, said he and his wife saw the saucer after they drove an employee home from work about 2 a.m.

"Pirie said the saucer emitted a white light much too large for a star. The plane came from the direction ofthe base, its running lights flashing on and off and made a complete turn about the saucer, which seemed to be stationary and at low altitude.

"Then, as the aircraft sped back to its base, a tremendous red exhaust came from the saucer and it took off at great speed in a direction almost due south.

"Last week, three workmen at the RCAF base reported they watched a saucer hovering over the base for more than 10 minutes. A few nights later, six Hydro work­ers at Wawaitin Falls about 245 miles north of here said they saw a saucer hovering above the forest for several minutes." (xx.)

UFO does a "loop."

This case has been mentioned in my monograph UFOs: A History 1954 September, page 10, A more complete story, and a drawing of the "loop," is given in a Marseille newspaper. Here is a translation:

" .. . A man who has not hitherto been classed as a joker saw a flying saucer Tuesday evening, from 8 p.m. to 8:07. It maneuvered above the town, slowly as If out for a stroll, then stopped altogether for 30 seconds, then traced on the 'ceil­ing' [sky] a luminous loop ... The observer was M. Guibert, administrative secre­tary of the Colonial Institute, who lives at 45 Franklin-Roosevelt Drive (formerly Devilliers Drive.) We chewed the rag yesterday with M. Guibert for nearly an hour, and can testify that he sounded sincere. He really saw what he describes. In his own words:

" 'I live in Franklin-Roosevelt Drive, in a building whose walls are oriented South-South-East and North-North-East (sic.). At precisely 8 p.m., when I was reading a newspaper in my room, my wife, who was closing the shutters, called to me. She was at that time on the terrace on the north side of the building. She told me she could see, with the naked eye, a sort of abnormally large vermilion-red star of sparkling luster, which was moving slowly. I came to the window and saw the phenomenon for myself, at an elevation of about 45 degrees (midway between the zenith and the horizon.) In truth, the luminous ball was moving. I cannot fix its altitude exactly. Not trusting my eyes, I resorted to field glasses. Of course, I then saw the 'object' more distinctly. Having come from due north, it was pro-

gressing slowly, it stopped and marked time for thirty seconds, then continued its course. All of a sudden it described a great loop in the sky (see diagram) andre­sumed its travd in the same direction, then disappearing vertically into a fogbank, in an East-N01theast direction this time; the altitude seemed to be high (The des­cription at the end seems obscure, but this is a literal translation--ADM [NICAP translator]. My wife , my 12-year-old son Francis and I watched the 'machine' for exactly seven minutes by my watch.

" ' I have drawn what I saw as it passed through my field of vision. Thanks to my field glasses I saw it grow bit by bit, then tilt on its axis. Finally I could see only a sphere of light, which became more and more intense.'" (xx.)

9 September. Wonthaggi, Australia. (no time)

Dark red/orange.

According to our source:

" ... two car-loads of people trailed a saucer which hovered over the vicinity of the town for more than an hour. First appearing a dark red colour which faded to orange, then brightened again, the object seemed to the witnesses to be much higher in the sky than the object seen a fortnight earlier. Finally the object disappeared in the direction ofMelbourne, moving slowly." (xx.)

I 0 September. Oakleigh, Australia. (late night)

"It looked like a funnel."

Information taken from a news story tells us:

"Two startled families driving more than a mile apart saw a 'flying funnel' swoop over Oakleigh last night. The second family saw a 'glowing object' drop from it as it streaked over Waratah St. at twice the speed of a plane. Mr. C.T. Waters, oflrving Ave., Murrumbeena, saw the 'funnel' first as he was driving along North Road, Oakleigh, with His children, Ian, 16, Neil, 11, and Linda, 9. He said: 'It looked like a large funnel with a light in the bottom. It flew over the Oakleigh Technical School towards Moorabbin Airport doing about 80 mph at roughly 150 feet.'

"The 'funnel' had increased its height to 500 feet and its speed to 'twice the rate of a plane' when Mr. J. Gleeson ofManuka St., Oakleigh saw it minutes later. 'The thing looked something like a funnel. It was glowing with an orange colour. It crossed the path of my car in Waratah St. Something dropped from it and I thought at first it was a distress flare."' (xx.)

II September. George Hunt Williamson and Valor.

Author Jerry Clark characterizes George Hunt Williamson as a "contactee, archaeologist, ancient-astronaut theorist, and preacher of the cosmic gospel." That's quite a list, but for our purposes Williamson is best known as an Adamski associate.

As a fringe personality in UFOlogy, Williamson will not be treated to an extended examination in this Supplement. If the reader is curious, he can consult "Williamson, George Hunt (1926-1986)" in Jerry Clark's UFO Encylopedia, 2nd Edition, pp.1031-1035 (Ornnigraphics, Inc.: Detroit, Michigan, 1998). A sample of Williamson's writings is reproduced on page 7. The magazine Valor is not mentioned in Clark's biography of Williamson.

Saucers Herald An Age of Scientific Revolution

R. V ANNEV AR BUSH, one of. the nation's lead­Ill)( SC!en!IStS, gave the public >omcthing to think about ~side from the drcadul effects of the so­

called "hyJ',·o.gen" bomb, when he spoke recen tly at Stanford University. The es­sence of his nddress was, that discoveries in the ncomic field are only a small seg­ment cf the advances being made in other l;clds of scientific research. T he results of

these ad•;:~nces could have more far-reach· ina effects on the future of mankind and J; i; on this e3rth than the "hydrogen" bc~1b or the use> now visualized for atom­ic cnc:-gy.

Dr. Bush is prc,ident of the Carnegie )ns!iw:c m \'(!~,hington. As director of scien tific rcse<>rch during World War II J nd through hi ' close ~ssociat ion with re. scJrch projcc:s throughout the nation ,;,;cc rhe end of the war, he has been in a po,i rion to acquire a broad knowledge of what is being done in all fields of research. O ne portion of his address is particularly wonhy of close attention.

DR. l3USH declared that "the dam is abo•.1t to bre;~k" in the whole fi eld

of bi,)o~ : ca l science. The trend is not ~o evide nt as it now is in the atomic field, hilt Ice described it as a "great blossom· ing". Uncl~rsr:md;.ng of knowledge ac­C!: rl•Jilted through the centuries is about :o produce results similar to those in the fold of physics.

Menrion ing the recent discoveries and u sc~ nf antibiot ics, v itamins and hormones, D r. Bush predicted that agricultural pro­d:ICtiviry mcy be greatly multiplied in the

not too distant future by the use of spe· cia! soil conditioners and the control of trace elements. Methods for producing new varieties and even new species of plants and animals are in the making.

He mentioned the po,ssibility that new sterilizing and packaging· may be devel­

oped to eliminate the need for refrlgera­tion. Agriculture production is likely to be radically changed and supplemented by "processing" methods of food production that will greatly increase t he output in ~reas which are nonproductive today. These could revolutionize the economic and social patterns of the en tire world.

Solar enw;~y rna y open up a rid sections of the world long before atomic power can be hunessed for the purpose, Dr. Bush declared.

In the field of chemistry, he mentioned the probability that mental diseases may be cured by startling chemical discoveries. And perhaps even more fearful than the deadly effects of the "hydrogen" bomb is the probability that the emotional re­actions of a whole nation miJl.ht be con­trolled thror<Jl.h a chemical placed in the food they consume1 They could be made docile or irrational, lazy and unimagina­tive or energetic and constructive,

"We had better have our government systems in very stable form before such things become possible," Dr. Bush de­clared.

DR. BUSH has provided a diversion

from the current stewing over the "hydrogen" bomb, but besides filling one with consuming anticipation and curios­ity, he has given birth to a few more wor­ries and fea rs.

Already world food products are con­t~minated by chemical poisonings in the )lUis~ of 0preservatives", uenriching ingre­dients", "bleaching", and "synthetic vita­mins". Now the prospect looms that in the near future the very emotions of the people are to be controlled h y substances placed in our daily rations.

The "revolution" in science has ·begun, but it is revealing its negative nature as well as irs positive nature. S hor tly, bio. logical science will experience the shak . ing-up given physics a few years ago when the Atomic Age suddenly came upon man. But, many of the so-called new " ad vances"

are ol a destructive nature as a re the ideas that atomic power can be used for peace· ful pursuits.

The people of the world can be de· ceivcd bv those who put "darkness for li.11.ht". T he real advances will be th e tO· tal elimination of food-tam per ing, food contamination, and chemical fertilizat ion. True advance will not be the comp lete control of world population by having power over every thought, action and deed of man through his food consumption. Man will not only be released from dog· mas, doctrines, false theories, pseudo-au. charities, war mongers, spiritua l conceit, and other centuries-old "chains tha t bind", but he will take his true place in Cosmos as a true Son of God and a potential Jl.Od himsdf!

The Golden ScriPt! speak of "scientific revolution" when the Elder Brother says: " . . Behold men will one day find that Li11.ht turned upon chemical format ion will make it to live. In that day they shall cry, 'La we are as God! We crea te life and ~t ive it!' .. but they give it not, be· loved: they but use Holy Spirit's rad i. ance to give throbbing unto tissue : the Li17.ht is the life: they but do a procrea­

tion. I tell you that man sha ll d iscovu the Secret of Life as he explo~eth Light." (Goldm Scripts 30: 51, 52 , 55 )

F V ERY TIME confirmation comes in from various p~rts of the world to

~dd to the alreadv momen tous list of s~ucer landin~ts and conr.cts, denia ls are immedia tely forthcoming. If a wel l-known scientist makes a discovery that would fevor Saucer researchers or tha t would validate what space intelligences prophe.

15 September. Manbhum, Bihar, India. (daytime?)

800 witnesses.

This extraordinary event deserves to be detailed as much as pos­sible. Here, we assume, is the most complete news account avail­able, a clipping quoting an article in The Times of India.

16 September. Sautens, Austria. (7:45a.m.- 8:15a.m.)

Austrian gendarmerie (police) report:

"Concerns: 'Flying saucer' observation. Location of sighting: Sautens, Imst district [Tyrol] Time of sighting: September 16, 1954,0745-0815. Weather: Bright, cold weather with morning fogs in the

mountains. Eye-witness: Master mason Heinrich Neururer, born at

Otz, Imst district, on April 15, 1913, living at Sautens No.22.

The eye-witness gave the following statement on his observation:

'South of the village Sautens, at the entry ofOtz Valley, a Swiss has the shooting at the time[? The writer must mean hunting season]. The game­keeper is absent, so I am doing the deer watch for him. In the morning of the specified day I took the lOX field glass ofthe Swiss to do so. West ofthe Otz Valley entry is first Mt. Piburger (2511m), next to the west Mt. Mitterkarkopf(2583m) and then Mt. Blosse Karkopf (2538m) (all south, about 3 km ground distance from Sautens which lies 4 km south of river Inn-EB). I looked with the glass from my house to the southwest. Chamois or red deer were not visible at that time, but instead I discovered a flying object in the blue sky west of the three peaks. It would not have been noticed with the naked eye. Ac­cording to my estimation it did fly pretty far behind the mountains.

'I saw a silvery gleaming disc in the shape of a discus. It was somewhat tilted to the left, thus not ly­ing horizontally. In the middle part it had protrusions on both sides (-a double-convex domed disc-EB) and it looked as if it consisted of polished aluminum. The flight direction as east-west. After about 4 min­utes it appeared again at the westward horizon and

now slowly drifted towards Mt. Mitterkarkopf. It was then that between this peak and the next one (Blosse Karkopf) a cloud of morning fog rose up from the valley and covered the disc so I had to give up further observations." (xx.)

The French newspaper France Dimanche published brief accounts ofvarious UFO sightings accompanied by drawings in its October 10, 1954 issue. These were included in the monograph UFOs: A History 1954 September, pages 31-33 . Translations by "ADM" ofthe French text exist in NICAP files and are provided here for the reader's perusal. (See below)

No.1 Vendee.

This is what M. Georges Fortin, a farm worker, saw on September 141

h at 5 p.m., between the villages of de Libaudieres and de La Gaudiaiere, in Vendee. (1.) A carrot-shaped 'cloud' emerged from other clouds. (2.) A trail of white smoke jetted out from the base of the cloud, then a brilliant disc emerged, and reentered the cloud, which (3.) then rose up and disappeared. 30 other people saw this together with M. Fortin.

No. 2 Lorraine.

Louis Moll, 47, gatekeeper at Oberdortt, (Saar frontier) had a strange vision September 19th a little after 9:00 p.m. He saw in the sky a sort of luminous ball which slowly turned red and became elongated. It then stopped a few moments, before rising vertically, with a sinusoidal move­ment and no sound. Then it took off horizontally, once more round in shape. [Translator's comment] (This dia­gram does not seem to correspond very well to the text, which does not assert that the object landed, or that it be­came cylindrical. A sinusoidal motion is \f\/\..1, not ~)

No.3 Gers.

On September 151h at 3:30p.m., M. Harthonde, a school­

master ofGers, saw a smoke trail in the sky above the Arros Valley, the Gers hills and the Tarbes plain. Then a brilliant object was seen in front ofthe smoke. This dis­appeared, but then it reappeared leading a second smoke trail which crossed the first. Suddenly, it made a fantastic jump, and disappeared toward the northwest.

No. 4. Lemaire a vu un cigare ...

The mayor saw a cigar.

M. Raoul Laurent is the mayor ofSaint-Dizier. Last Wednesday (Sept. 29), about 8:00p.m., when he had just left the city hall, he saw in the stormy sky a bright light moving at high speed. He could plainly distinguish an elongated, cigar-like shape. Leaving a luminous train. The craft must have been at an altitude of several km.

No. 5 ... the butcher a cylinder.

Gilbert Prudent, a butcher ofRes-de-Vemay (Saone­et-Loire) had the greatest fright ofhis life last Sept. 29. Coming home on his bicycle at 11 :30 p.m., he saw on the road, 20 meters in front of him, a cylindrical (sic?) machine 4 or 5 meters long giving off a bright red light. (See his drawing) The young man came to a violent stop; the craft disappeared, with a slight hissing noise.

No. 6 ... the farmer a jar.

At 10:30 p.m. on September 19th, M. David, a farm worker ofBreleux (near Poitiers) was returning home on his motor bicycle. Suddenly, he saw on the road, in his headlights beam, 20 meters in front of him, a long brown object. He stopped, and a little helmeted man, coming out of the ditch, came up to him and rubbed against his shoulder, grunting. The creature then hastened into the brown mass (which was shaped like ajar). The machine rose and immediately vanished.

On pages 63 and 80 of the monograph UFOs: A History 1954 September, there are additional French cases that NI CAP had translated.

No. 1 La soucope de Valence a Laisse des traces (dans le mais) (Page 63)

(There is little new infor­mation in the translation except for some notes on size ofthe UFO and the manner its departure)

It [the UFO] was perhaps three meters (10 feet) india­meter and 60 em. (2 feet) thick. It flew on the bias [?] for 1 00 meters or so, then tipped to a vertical position and rose vertically at terrific speed.

No.2 & 3. Without knowing each each other, they saw the same vessel from 400 km. apart.

The Bacque and Gartey testimony is on page 80 of the monograph UFOs: A History 1954 September.

These two cases were considered together because they seemed to have similar elements. However, Gartey confessed to making up his story so a translation of his account is being omitted. The Bacque re­port could have value and its trans­lation is given here.

M. Bacque, an architect-engineer, saw an astonishing craft above Pau, at 10,000 meters altitude ... M. Bacque saw it at 11 a.m. on September 30 and described it as a red sphere, from which four tubes protruded, maneu­vering among stratus clouds. He ob­served it through a telescope for 45 minutes before it disappeared toward the west.

17 September. Rome, Italy. (late afternoon)

Rome's flying "half-cigar."

This case is covered fairly well in the monograph UFOs: A History 1954 September, pages 21 ,25-26,88. Some additional data is shown below. (xx.)

Radar technicians first fixed the position of the objec t as being above Fleminico on the Tiber and east of Ostie. They saw, as did inost -of the thousands of observers, a large radio-like anteena projecting from a , central position on the side of the object. The antenna appeared to be of greater length than the object itself. The military observers also confirmed _the claims of all telescopic & binocular users that the object was coloured red·on one side and silver on the other, while the whole gi"?"ing off a bril!liant white illumination (in broad daylight) of a daz­zllng nature. The' glowing "half-cigar" was first sighted at 4,45 pm & disappeared shortly after 6.28 pm.

A brief item in the APRO bulletin stated: "Three shining objects performed amazing turns and maneuvers in the night sky over Knoxville. They were seen by many. Yellowish in color, the objects flew in V-formation, one followed by two small objects, often stopping in mid air, and then shooting straight up." (xx.)

20 September. Barstow, California.

This case has been covered in the monograph UFOs: A History 1954 September, pp.34, 38. A San Bernardino newspaper carried more detail so that version is quoted here:

"An unidentified flying object which maneuvered at 'terrific speeds' back and forth over Bear Valley in the San Bernardino Mountains, southeast of Barstow, was

14

sighted at[? Number not readable] a.m. Tuesday morning by Officer Jack Norton of the Barstow Police Department.

"Sgt. William Grissom and Officer Jack Price were called by radio to the scene by Norton, and they too witnessed the object.

"Later they were joined by four Marine MPs, Sgt. Otto Lutz, Pfc. Alfred Chapp­ed, Pfc. Charles Whitney, and Pfc. Flicandra Rascon.

"In Officer Price's official report he stated the following: "While on routine patrol, Sgt. Grissom and myself received a call from Officer

Norton that ifwe wanted to see a flying saucer to come out Bear Valley road. It was approximately two miles south to where Officer Norton was waiting.

" 'I noticed a strange bright object in the sky to the southeast. This object ap­peared to be orange in color with a red ring around it, and appeared to be emitting sparks of frre as it changed locations in the sky.

" 'As I watched, the object slowly moved toward the ground, creating a bright light as it did so.

"'Officer Norton stated that prior to the arrival of Sgt. Grissom and myself the object had moved at terrific speeds back and forth across the sky and at times would stop in mid-air.

"'It was at this time we received a call about a prowler and left the location. After checking the call we returned to the location. Norton, meantime, had secured a pair of binoculars.

" 'The object was still in the sky, although it appeared much farther away and nearer the horizon. A small white light appeared to be attached to it similar to a tail light. We could see it plainly through the binoculars and observed it for a period of about 20 minutes.

" 'The object was turning and slowly lowering to near the horizon where it dis­appeared from view.

" 'We all agreed that the object was completely foreign to each of us; that it could not have been any aircraft with which we were familiar. Later the CAA con­tacted us and secured details to pass on to the Air Force at March Field. We were called back later and told that the Air Force would attempt to track the object if it appeared again.'

"A few hours earlier, it was learned, a pilot had sighted a similar object in the vicinity of Cedar City, Utah." (xx.)

22 September. Navarre, Ohio. (about 10:15 p.m.)

Navy airman baffled.

According to a news story:

"The 'flying saucer' story was back in the news today, this time from a Navarre man horne on leave from the Navy.

"Edward Sags, 21, ofthe Navy's air arm, told Stark County sheriffs that he saw the strange object in the sky last night near his Navarre horne. He said he has seen

15

practically ever type of aircraft but the one last night was unlike anything he has 'run across' as a Navy airman.

"Sags related that he and his father and brother were at home talking about 10:15 when their attention was drawn to an object in the sky, appearing round in shape and radiating a white light.

"The object, he said, appeared at times to be moving at a high speed, then to be standing still.

"As they stood and watched, Sags said, a plane flew by and the.light_ofthe saucer­object went out. When the plane passed, the light of the mysterious object reappeared, he stated."' (xx.)

22 September. Near Bulls, New Zealand. (4:20a.m.)

"Like seeing Superman."

A story in the Manawatu Evening Standard tells us:

" ' It was just like seeing Superman, or something from the third [? 41h?] dimension. ' This is the vivid description given by Mrs. J.R. Drumm, who lives near Bulls, today, of a 'flying saucer' which, she says, she saw early yesterday. But the saucer was one with a difference, according to Mrs. Drumm. 'It looked exactly like two sauc_ers joined togeth­er,' she said. 'It was fascinating.'

"Mrs. Drumm is frrmly convinced that what she saw was not an aircraft, or a 'shoot­ing star,' or anything else explainable. 'It whirled round and round and was a mass of fiery flame,' she added.

"It happened this way: When she got up at about 4:20a.m. yesterday to feed her baby she looked out of the window. 'It seemed quite near and in comparison with the stars in the sky it was as an egg is to a currant,' she went on. 'It seemed to be taking off like an aircraft, and after several seconds, during which it revolved and travelled at a ter­rific rate, it disappeared upwards into the clouds,' she added.

"Mrs. Drumm says she would not have believed anyone who described such a thing to her. 'My husband believes me because he knows I am not a credulous person,' she said. 'But this was defmitely a 'flying saucer,' or rather two joined together, resem­bling something like two car hub caps placed together. It had a 'halo' round it.'

"The 'saucer' could not have been an aircraft, of that she was sure, she added. She lives about six from Ohakes [airport?], but there was nothing to explain what she had seen." ( xx.)

?23 September. Near Mt. Baldy (20 miles from Pomona, California). (about 4:00p.m.)

"Alleged mass rendezvous." (See letter and drawings submitted by A. Wiegner on pages 16-19)

Dr. James E. McDonald University of Arizona Institute of Atmospheric Physics Tempe, Arizona

Dear Dr. McDonald :

821 Claiborne Drive Long Beach, Calif. 90807 Feb r ua r y 1 1, 1 9 6 9

Further my letter of February 4, 1969, the first impression we received when we saw the objects was they were from outer space. They did not

act or look like anything from this earth, They were a real bright silver color and seemed to have a sort of glow. I do not remember hearing them, and yet I cannot figure out what caused me to look up into the sky at that angle or heighth.

The location where we saw the flying objects was at an elevation of 4200 feet on the side of Mount Baldy. Mount Baldy is about 20 miles from Pomona, California. Mount Baldy is 10, 080 feet high. I am not sure of the date but think it was the 23rd of September 1954. I reported the sighting to some p.rivate organization in Los Angeles at the time. They sent me a card and said they would get in touch with me at a later date, but I never heard from them.

When I saw the first group of objects I went into the house and had my wife come out and look at them. Also tried to call a mill:anan driving by in a truck, but could not make him hear me.

They entered into sight from outer space or out of sight at a very steep angle. They all formed one group, then turned at a sharp right angle and formed 3 groups again, not in the same shape as they came in. They took off into upper space again. They were able to fly out and return without making a round radius, or they would go out from the formation and come back without making a turn.

I plan to have drawings made by an architect of all the formations and maneuvers they went through (if he ever has the time), Also may have models made of the formations.

I believe I have more information and saw more maneuvers by these objects than anyone else has ever witnessed.

The Wiegner letter of2/4/69 is missing from McDonald's files (See McDonald's notes on page 18). This 2/4/69 letter was probably Wiegner's initial contact with professor McDonald and its contents not as important as the missives of2111/69 and 3/26/69. The data contained in the 3/26/69 annotated copy ofMcDonald's letter has been incorporated in the professor's notes at the bottom ofthe drawing shown on page 18. (xx.)

"Two unidentified witnesses observed two brilliant disc-shaped objects suspended near the ground, several meters from one another. Two little men about the same size as a 12-year-old were seen approaching one another as if to converse; they separated, each one returning to its prospective vehicle, in_to which both seemed to 'melt.' The figures seemed to be dressed in aluminum outfits. No further details were noted, as the witnesses were approximately 400 meters distant. After the entities disappeared into the objects, they ascended and flew off at very high speeds." (xx.)

The William T. Colman sighting.

A World War II combat pilot, William T. Colman fought in the South Pacific. He stayed in the military after the armistice until his discharge· from active duty in 1948. During the years 1947-48 Colman was a part-time consultant to the Air Force's projects SIGN and GRUDGE. His background included training in military science, engineering, broadcasting, and public information. While on reserve status, Colman worked in the field of news production at a Florida radio station. When the Korean War started, Colman was called up and assigned to the position of executive officer, public information, under the Secretary of the Air Force, a job he held for a period ofthree years (1961-1964). One ofthe main problems Colman had to address while laboring for the Air Force Secretary was the declassifying of UFO reports for newsmen who were clamoring for information.

Since Colman was an important cogwheel in the Pentagon's PIO machine, which was "anti­UFO," it is interesting to note the fact that the man had seen a "flying saucer" himself. A brief treatment of Colman's sighting is given in the monograph UFOs: A History 1954 September, page 86. Considering the fact that the Air Force was conspicuously negative when it came to UFO reports, we will rub it in and offer for the reader's consideration the complete account of Colman's experience. Colman tells us;

"I went down to Miami International Airport, in 1954, with a crew, to pick up an overhauled attack bomber-to test it out and deliver it to the air base in Green­ville, Mississippi. It w~ a Sunday afternoon with clear skies, unusual visibility­!' d up to 40 miles. Flying over central Florida, we could see both the Atlantic and the Gulf.

"Just south of Montgomery, Alabama, north of the Florida line, I reached over and punched my co-pilot and said, 'Hey take it; I'm going to relax for a minute.' I had my parachute up, had slid back on the track, and was just starting to drop my head back ....

"The crew was myself, the co-pilot, and the flight engineer. And I had two technical representatives, one from Lockheed Aircraft Company and one from the Jet Engine Division of General Motors Corporation. They were both engineers.

"Anyway, I was looking around and noticed an object well above me, up to about 10,000 feet above me, going in the same direction I was. It was at about 2 o'clock position. We seemed to be gaining on it. I thought, 'it really ought to be drawing a contrail at that altitude.' I turned to my co-pilot and said, 'Look at 2 o'clock; what do you see? A shiny white object?' He looked and said, 'Yeah, it's just a reflection in th~ upper windshield.' I said maybe.

"I rolled my seat back up on the track and took the airplane again. I started to turn. Now when you do that, the reflection should either disappear or fall off to the side. But I made the turn, and it didn't clear up. The co-pilot said, 'Yeah, there is something.' Then he said, 'We shouldn't be gaining on it.'

"I said it was descending. I came back to my original heading. We were about four miles from it when it crossed my altitude. I said, 'That's an odd looking thing. I don't see a vertical stabilizer, and I don't see any sign of the wings. We thought it was probably a test vehicle out ofElgin Air Force Base. I said, 'Let's see what it is.'

"I started descending with it. We were closing in with it all the time-about two

23

miles now. One mile. It was getting right down on top of the trees pretty fast. Still no sight of vertical stabilizer or wings. I called the two engineers to come up. 'Did you see that?' They said, 'Yes, what is it?' I said we didn't know, but we were go­ing to fmd out.

"I asked the flight engineer to go into the bombardier's compartment, where he 'd have a different perspective. He went through the crawlway under the flight­deck floor, and when he got up there, he checked in. "What do you.see?' I asked him. He said, 'Same thing I saw when I was with you.'

"I told everybody, 'Don't discuss this thing, but look at it; capture every detail you can see. Size, speed, all your own impressions.

"When we were within half a mile we could see that it was a circular object. It was about 60 feet in diameter, 10 feet thick, tapering from the center. No join lines, no rivet lines-just a solid disc. It had no lights. It wasn't painted. It was a dull gray color- like titanium. If it was titanium, I don't need to tell you the engineering problems of making a 60-foot titanium disc.

"We were close, but I purposefully kept my distance because I didn't want to get into the vortex of it, not that low on the ground; you could lose control of your aircraft. I had no ideas what sort of vortex it might be generating.

"Finally when we were within an eighth of a mile, I said, 'Okay, keep your heads cool; we're going to overtake it, and I want you to capture every detail that you can. Has anybody got a camera?' There wasn't a camera among us.

"I made a hard four or five second pitch to come alongside him so that he would have to look into the sun, not us. In that time, suddenly, it was_ gone. We had seen its shadow on the ground; it had passed over a barn, so we had a pretty good idea ofthe size of it. I said, 'It is gone somewhere.' I pulled up hard to see if it had dropped back and was following me. It wasn't. I leveled off at about 2,000 feet. We were all looking back-and we saw it. And we saw its shadow moving across a freshly plowed field. It was bearing right down on the ground and leaving a dust trail in its vortex.

"I ran what I thought would be an intercept course-based on my judgement of its speed. But by the time I got to the end of the field-about two and a half miles-it was gone. The dust was still lingering. That time, we lost it altogether.

"I told the guys not to discuss it-not even with their wives-and to go home and write up a report, a complete report in chronological order, A to Z.

"They turned them in the next morning. All five reports agreed, which is a rare thing, and that was the end of it.

''Now what did I see? I don't know. Ifl had let faith enter the picture, I might have said I was obviously looking at a vehicle from another world-because I knew the technology of what I was looking at didn't exist on this planet. .. but I don't go that far. Were we the subjects of mass hypnosis? I discussed that with some experts in the field. They said no, that there was nothing that would have promulgated it on that flight. We checked for a fume leak in the flight deck. Nothing. There were no sightings of it reported. No other aircraft within a hundred miles. As we had passed over the fields, I asked the guys if they could spot any people outside looking. No. If you could have interviewed the cows or horses, we might have gotten something." (xx.)

Omitted in this article, but included in the short interview conducted by TV Guide magazine which is the source ofthe information in the previously mentioned monograph, is the fascinating statement by Colman that he could not fmd the paperwork on his own UFO report in Air Force files. Considering his position of authority, Colman's claim indicates that many similar com­plaints about "misplaced records" are true and it suggest conspiratorial sorting ofUFO data.
