An SS guard was present. Inside an enclosure with a tarpaulin wall about 50 ft high, he saw a circular craft 75 to 100 yards across and about 14 ft high rise vertically.

They say they found an avocado- or teardrop-shaped craft with small, insect-like occupants. Days later they watched soldiers recover it under cover of a \"weather balloon\" story, and Padilla says he kept a metal fragment. The story first appeared in print in 2003, 58 years after the claimed event. Its authors were then in their 60s. It was expanded in Baca's self-published book (2011) and popularised by Jacques Vallée and Paola Harris in Trinity: The Best-Kept Secret (2021; 2nd ed. 2022). Coverage in the New York Times (13 Jan 2023) linked it to the FY2023 NDAA provision that extended AARO's historical review back to 1945. No contemporaneous document, press report, military record or police record has been produced. Citizen journalist Douglas Dean Johnson has documented that the state policeman the story places at the scene, Eddie Apodaca, was serving with the Army in Europe in August 1945 and joined the New Mexico State Police in 1951. Vallée later conceded that point. The case rests entirely on late, contested testimony.","rec":["Firsthand recorded testimony exists only from decades later: Baca and Padilla, in their 2011 book and in interviews from 2003 onwards.

Charles C. Barnes, a Presbyterian pastor, wrote to J. Edgar Hoover. One afternoon the previous May he had seen four narrow beams cross the sky from the northwest to the southeast and converge on the Cascade Mountains. Small clouds formed in the beams, and where they met there was a great \"explosion effect\" that rose to about 10,000 ft. It lasted at least ten minutes. He linked it to pre-war articles on radio-beam rain-making and to the 1948 Columbia River flood. He mentioned that one son was in the Air Corps and another worked for the AEC at Hanford.

Chiles and First Officer John B. Whitted were flying an Eastern Air Lines DC-3 from Houston to Atlanta. At 5,000 ft they saw a wingless, cigar-shaped craft come at them head-on. It had two rows of brightly lit \"windows\", a blue glow underneath and a long red-orange exhaust flame. It passed on their right and pulled up into cloud, all within about 5-10 seconds. The Air Force's own intelligence report on it concluded the object \"remains unidentified as to origin, construction and power source\". The Grudge-era astronomical review (J. Allen Hynek's) proposed a bright meteor and conceded it was hard to square with the windows. The case is often cited as the trigger for the 1948 \"Estimate of the Situation\". That estimate is attested only by later accounts; no copy is known.","rec":["Whitted (firsthand, written statement): Trip 576 \"left Houston, Texas at 8:40 PM Eastern Standard Time, Friday night, July 22, 1948\". 22 July 1948 was a Thursday; the Friday was 23 July. The date in the statement looks like a slip. \"At 0245 EST, we sighted a strange object coming toward us at a high rate of speed. We were at 5000 feet and our position was 25 miles southwest of Montgomery.\" It \"had a stream of red fire coming from its tail.\" He estimated \"700 MPH but this is purely a rough estimate\" and \"about a half-mile from us, flying straight and level\". He \"could see no wings\". It was \"cigar shaped and seemed to be about a hundred feet in length\". \"The fuselage appeared to be about three times the circumference of a B-29 fuselage. It had two rows of windows, an upper and a lower.\" The windows were \"white with light which seemed to be caused by some type of combustion\". Watched \"at least 5 seconds and not more than 10 seconds\". \"We heard no noise nor did we feel any turbulence from the object.\" Chiles had the company radio operator at Columbus, Ga., ask Lawson Field (Fort Benning). Lawson reported \"they had no planes flying in our area\".","Chiles (firsthand, letter of 3 Aug 1948): Twenty miles SW of Montgomery, \"At 2:45 A.M. we were cruising at 5,000 feet when there came, what looked like a Jet type of aircraft to our right and slightly above meeting us. It was a clear moonlight night with the visibility excellent\". Viewed \"for a period of around ten seconds. It was clear there were no wings present, that it was powered by some jet or other type of power shooting flame from the rear some fifty feet. There were two rows of windows, which indicated an upper and lower deck, from inside these windows a very bright light was glowing. Underneath the ship there was a blue glow of light.\" \"After it passed it pulled up into some light broken clouds and was lost from view. There was no prop wash or rough air felt as it passed.\" \"The only passenger awake at the time\" saw \"only the trail of fire as it passed\". ATC reported no such aircraft.","AIIR 102-122-79 (Sneider), Conclusions (report p. 5): 1. \"The flying anomaly observed, remains unidentified as to origin, construction and power source.\" 2. \"A definite trend of flight headings has evolved as generally south in bearing.\" 3. \"Supporting evidence from separate reliable sources establish existence of this configuration.\" 4. \"An aircraft of the configuration described could support itself in flight by aerodynamic means.\" The report also says that if the object has a long range, \"it is probable that the method of propulsion is one which is far in advance of presently known engines\".","Astronomical analysis, NARA T1206 roll 2, frames 1414-1415: \"For #144, there is no astronomical explanation if we accept the report at face value.\" \"The two reliable pilots obviously saw something.\" Parts of the description \"could be satisfied by a brilliant, slow-moving meteor. The orange-red flame is particularly suggestive.\" The passenger's description \"does not tally with that of a 'space ship' but does agree with that of a meteor\". \"It will have to be left to the psychologists to tell us whether the immediate trail of a bright meteor could produce the subjective impression of a ship with lighted windows.\" It compares the case with a report by \"a qualified Robins Air Base observer\" of \"a cylindrical object trailing a red flash of fire\". That report was about one hour earlier, and Macon and Montgomery both lie on the stated line of flight. It sets out two readings: an aircraft (the schedule would fit) or a fireball.","Blue Book index card (MAXW-PBB4-5). Partly legible on the NICAP scan: \"Incident 144\", \"24 July 1948\", \"20 mi.

George F. Gorman of the North Dakota Air National Guard was flying an F-51 over Fargo. He chased a small, blinking white light for about 27 minutes. It turned inside him, came head-on at him, and outclimbed him. A Piper Cub pilot and his passenger, and two CAA tower men, saw a light over the field. Project Sign sent investigators within two days. Its project officer wrote that Gorman's statements should \"be accepted as truth until any part thereof is proven wrong or inaccurate\". Later the Air Force (Ruppelt, citing an Air Weather Service letter of 24 January 1949) attributed the light to a lighted weather balloon. Brad Sparks has since challenged that from the weather records. The balloon explanation has never been demonstrated against the flight data.","rec":["Project Sign letter, 7 Oct 1948: On 3 Oct 1948, Laurence H. Truettner (aeronautical engineer, Project Engineer for Sign) and Maj. Paul Kubala (ATI investigator) interviewed the witnesses to the incident, \"which occurred from 2100 to 2127 hours Central Standard Time\". Newspaper reports were \"substantially correct\", except that \"description of the object as a 'disk' is inaccurate\". \"All testimony from witnesses agree that one object was sighted and that it consisted only of a small round ball of clear white light with no physical form or shape attached ... about six to eight inches in diameter. At times it traveled faster than the F-51 and performed circular maneuvers in both evasive and aggressive manner.\" When first seen it was travelling at about 250 mph at 1,000 ft, blinking off and on. \"At higher performance the white light was continuous.\" Gorman first noticed it about 3,000 ft below his 4,500 ft cruising altitude.","Sneider memo, 6 Oct 1948 (MAXW-PBB4-721): repeats the summary above, then: \"Possibilities of other aircraft, meteorological balloon releases, Canadian Vampire Jets having been in immediate vicinity have been discredited.

He was \"favorably impressed ... as to sincerity, veracity, reliability and trustworthiness\". The report poses questions for study. Could an object \"without appreciable shape\" appear to manoeuvre intelligently? Could rumoured foreign or domestic technology account for it? Ball lightning?

Deke Slayton's sighting is on the record. It is in a contemporaneous Air Intelligence Information Report from his own wing, 133rd FIW Report 3-51 of 19 Dec 1951. Flying an F-51 on a test flight, he chased a small white object that resolved into two overlapping counter-rotating discs, outpaced him in a turn, and vanished. Blue Book's status reports first listed it with \"no conclusions\". The later record card reads \"Was Balloon\", without any documented balloon match. Gordon Cooper's 1951 sighting rests on his own later statement, a letter of 9 Nov 1978 that was read into the UN General Assembly's Special Political Committee record. In it he says he had \"two days of observation of many flights of them ... flying in fighter formation, generally from east to west over Europe\", above the reach of his jet fighters. No contemporaneous document of Cooper's sighting has been found.","rec":["\"At 2150Z on 12 December 1951, Capt. Donald K. Slayton, observed an unidentified object five (5) miles southeast of Hastings, Minnesota.\" He was \"cruising at 10,000', and had just pulled out of a loop and was heading back towards Wold-Chamberlain Airfield, when he first spotted a white object about one (1) mile out and 1,000' below his left wing tip\". The flight was a test flight in an F-51; he was with the 133rd Maintenance Squadron, 133rd Fighter-Interceptor Wing.","It \"appeared to resemble a kite\". Then it was \"round white object ... the pilot assumed the object was a weather wind balloon riding down-wind. It appeared perfectly round, 18\" to 2' in diameter, white or silver. The object gave an illusion of spinning, which at this stage was attributed by Capt. Slayton, to light diffusion.\"","He made a left 180° turn to intercept. \"The object began to turn to the left and seemed to gain speed rapidly ... It was at this point the pilot became aware the object was not floating in space, but rather had accelerating and maneuvering abilities.\"","At an assumed 500 yards, \"the object appeared to be two disks 18\" to 2' in diameter and approximately 1' apart, spinning at a rapid rate\". Then \"the object or objects gained speed ... at a very rapid rate, and took on the appearance of a single object\". \"Rotational effect appeared to be in a counter-clockwise direction at all times.\"","Slayton's speed was about 280 mph. \"The pilot assumes the speed of the object at this point was about 380 or 400 mph.\" He \"lost sight of object\" when he went back into the turn.","\"Visibility on this day was exceptionally good ... Due to the fact that the aircraft was at 10,000', no correct estimation of distance was obtained.\" Status Report No. 2: \"White object resembling a kite about 1000 ft. below a/c\"; 3-4 min; sound none; speed 380-400 mph; \"Action or comments: Pending\".

Nash (acting first pilot) and William H. Fortenberry (co-pilot) were flying a DC-4 at 8,000 ft from New York to Miami. They watched six glowing red-amber discs in echelon below them approach, flip on edge, reverse course by about 150° almost instantly, and be joined by two more. Then the discs blinked out and reappeared climbing. The whole sighting lasted about 12-15 seconds. Air Force intelligence and OSI debriefed them in Miami the next day. The file holds the debriefings, the OSI report, a cable to Air Defense Command, CIA and the JCS, and Nash's correspondence with Donald Menzel. Brad Sparks lists it as a Blue Book \"Unknown\" (BBU 1444). Menzel's searchlight-and-haze explanation was published in 1963 and never tested.","rec":["AIIR (Sharpe), 15 July 1952: \"the undersigned, with the local OSI Chief Agent, debriefed two PAA pilots who had sighted a formation of eight (8) unconventional flying objects over Chesapeake Bay near Old Point Comfort on the night of 14 July 1952\". The pilots were W. B. Nash and W. H. Fortenberry, \"apparently of high integrity and above average intelligence. Both are pilots of several years experience.\" It attaches their written statement and an overlay of the path. Evaluation: B-2.","OSI Special Inquiry (OSI interview, firsthand from both pilots): DC-4 No. 88901, New York to Miami. \"The captain of the aircraft, FRANK KOEPKE, was not at the controls of the aircraft at the time of the sighting.\" At 2012 EST, at 8,000 ft, true heading 200°, about 24 miles from Norfolk, Nash saw \"six (6) unconventional type aircraft approximately ten (10) miles distant in echelon formation. Each object was emitting a brilliant reddish amber glow\", at about 2,000 ft, heading toward the DC-4. The front three seemed to decelerate. Then \"the entire flight of six (6) unconventional aircraft rolled to the left in perfect unison and then recovered to level flight. Instantly thereafter the entire flight of six (6) aircraft changed their direction by one-hundred-fifty (150) degrees to a true heading of two-hundred-seventy (270) degrees. No slip or arc was observed. The aircraft appeared to be weightless\". Two more objects came \"from the right of the original formation\". All illumination went out, reappeared \"in a steep climb\", then went out \"in sequence rather than simultaneously\". \"The objects were definitely not eliminated from view by cloud formation or distance.\" Shape: \"Definitely circular in shape and very flat.\" Size: \"approximately 100 feet in diameter\", judged with \"pencil at arm's length\". Colour: \"Whole top surface appeared to be a hot coal ... a little more amber than a cheap tail light. Far more brilliant glow than the lights of Norfolk and Newport News.\" No exhaust and no navigation lights. Speed: \"approximately 1000 plus miles per hour\". Sound: \"non-discernible over 4 engines\". Length of observation: \"approximately 15 seconds\". They used a Dalton Mark VII computer for directions and an E6B compass. Nash: born 15 May 1917; ATR licence 88195; U.S. Naval Reserve pilot (Lt. jg); commercial airline rating since 1945. Fortenberry: commercial licence 455055; with Pan Am one year (as of 1952).","AFOIN 53722, 16 Jul 1952 (cable): \"Eight unidentified luminous circular objects flying in formation, vicinity Langley AFB VA sighted by Captain Frank Koepko [sic], Pilot Pan American Airways ...

Estimated speed — thousand miles per hour.\" The cable garbles the crew roles.

Two F-86D interceptors of the 317th Fighter Interceptor Squadron (Pronto Blue 1 and 2), on combat air patrol from McChord, were vectored to it. Blue 2's airborne radar picked it up at about 28 miles and saw it split into two \"clear distinct\" blips at 25,000 ft. Blue 2 descended to 6,000 ft and closed to about six miles at Mach 0.85-0.9 before the blips slid off the scope. Blue 1 held a 20-second contact. Neither pilot saw anything. The 25th Air Division ruled out radar malfunction, weather balloons, ships and known aircraft. It tentatively assessed the blips as true airborne targets, about the size of B-36 or B-52 returns, with \"an estimated pullout speed of Mach One or better\".

Tower staff, ground observers and the pilot of a C-47 reported white lights at the same times. The RAF scrambled de Havilland Venom night fighters. One was vectored onto a target by Lakenheath radar, and its crew reported an airborne radar contact and gun-lock. The target then appeared on the ground radar to circle behind the fighter and stay there despite its manoeuvres, until the Venom returned to base short of fuel. The USAF reported the event to Project Blue Book by teletype. The University of Colorado UFO study (the Condon Report) published it as Case 2 and called it \"the most puzzling and unusual case in the radar-visual files\".

Three radars were involved: West Freugh itself, Balscalloch near Corsewall Point, and Ardwell. An echo first held station at about 50,000 ft and then climbed to about 60,000-70,000 ft. Smaller echoes at about 14,000 ft were tracked moving toward the Isle of Man. The press got the story within two days. The station's commander told reporters he had been ordered to say nothing but that it was \"an object of some substance\". The Air Ministry's Deputy Directorate of Intelligence (Technical) wrote a report, DDI/C.290/3, dated 30 April 1957. As quoted by researchers, it concluded the incident was due to \"five reflecting objects of unidentified type and origin\", and it rejected aircraft, weather balloons and charged clouds.

They show a Saturn-shaped object passing over the island's peaks. People on deck said they saw it too. The Navy developed the film on board and kept the matter quiet for about a month. The press broke the story in February 1958. The Navy then issued an official note, and a federal deputy (Sérgio Magalhães) formally demanded answers in the Chamber of Deputies. The Navy Minister wrote that the case had been kept secret so an internal inquiry could be finished. A Navy officer's report, known through a 1964 leak, said a prior photomontage could be neither proved nor disproved. The photos remain disputed: a hoax by Baraúna has been argued but not demonstrated. The primary trail I could read directly is thin: one parliamentary document.

William Booth Gill and dozens of Papuan mission staff, teachers and pupils reported lights over Goodenough Bay near Boianai. On 26 June, 38 people watched a large lit object, with four \"legs\" below, for long periods. Figures that looked human appeared on its upper \"deck\". On 27 June Gill waved, the figures seemed to wave back, and the object appeared to respond to torch signals. Gill kept contemporaneous notes. On the night of 26 June he had three observers draw what they saw separately, and, by his account, 27 of the 38 witnesses signed a statement. Civilian groups forwarded his report to Prime Minister Menzies and to the RAAF. The RAAF file in the National Archives of Australia holds that report. It also holds a later Directorate of Air Force Intelligence minute stating that, after investigation, the RAAF had concluded the Boianai sightings \"were either known planets seen through fast-moving cloud, or natural phenomena\". The official trail is solid on what was reported and what the RAAF concluded. The RAAF's own investigation papers for Boianai were not in the part I read.","rec":["The DAFI minute (official, NAA A703 580/1/1 Pt 2, PDF p. 54): the Gill sighting \"was very similar and occurred under almost identical weather conditions. On that occasion, after investigation, we concluded that the sightings were either known planets seen through fast-moving cloud, or natural phenomena.\" The minute adds that Gill's objects \"were brightly lit and, in one case, allegedly contained humanoid beings.\"","The civilian societies' letter to Menzies (in the RAAF file) says that, as of DAFI's reply of 15 October 1959, the Directorate \"claims to have carried out no investigations into the incidents\". This is the official file, quoting the DAFI reply secondhand. It conflicts with the later minute's \"after investigation\". Unresolved.","Gill's procedure, as recorded on 26 June (official file copy of the witness's own record): 38 witnesses were gathered in a lit room. Three of them (William Gill, Ananias Rarata and Stephen Gill Moi) drew the object separately. \"27 observers of a total of 38 voluntarily signed\".","The weather Gill recorded: \"variable sky - scattered clouds to clear at first, becoming overcast after 10.10 p.m.\"; cloud height about 2,000 ft (file copy)."],"cl":[{"text":"A large lit object with four legs, \"clearly visible and mostly stationary for 25 minutes\" between 18:55 and 19:22 on 26 June 1959, with \"men\" appearing on its upper deck (a blue spotlight is also noted on 27 June)","witness":"firsthand","grade":"sourced","by":"William B.

He drove up onto a ridge and saw a whitish, aluminium-like oval object on the ground in a gully, with two small figures in white coveralls beside it. When he approached, there were thumps and a roar, and the object rose on a blue-and-orange flame, then flew off low and fast to the southwest. Burning brush and four depressions were found at the site. Zamora's report, the Air Force investigators' summaries, J. Allen Hynek's trip report and an FBI teletype all survive. Project Blue Book carried the case as UNIDENTIFIED, and its chief, Maj. Hector Quintanilla, called it \"the best-documented case on record\" in a CIA journal. A student hoax and a test vehicle have both been proposed. Neither has been demonstrated.","rec":["Zamora's own report (firsthand; Blue Book file, NICAP transcription). The main points: About 5:45 PM, chasing a speeding car south of the courthouse, he heard a roar and saw a \"bluish and sort of orange\" funnel of flame to the southwest. He thought the dynamite shack had blown up. Topping the hill, he saw \"a shiny type object to south about 150 to 200 yards\", which at first looked \"like a car turned upside down\". He saw \"two people in white coveralls very close to the object. One of these persons seemed to turn and look straight at my car and seemed startled\". They \"appeared normal in shape — but possibly they were small adults or large kids\". He radioed \"possible 10-44 (accident)\". He got out of the car and heard \"two or three loud 'thumps'\". Then came a loud roar, and the object \"slowly rose straight up\" on a flame \"light blue and at bottom ... sort of orange\". He described the object as \"oval in shape ... smooth — no windows or doors\", with red lettering or an insignia \"about 2 1/2' high and about 2' wide\". He ran, lost his glasses, and ducked over the edge of the hill. The object went away in a straight line at about 10-15 ft, cleared the dynamite shack \"by about three feet\", and seemed to \"just clear the Box Canyon or Six Mile Canyon Mountain\". He noted \"brush was burning in several places\". He saw \"two legs of some type\" slanting outward when he first saw the object. He drew the insignia before Sgt. Chavez arrived.","New Mexico State Police Sgt. M. S. Chavez (the spelling varies: Chavez or Chaves) was on scene within minutes. Zamora says Chavez \"pointed out the tracks\" and told him he was \"white, very pale\".","FBI teletype, 25 April 1964. The informant (redacted) is described as \"considered sober, dependable, mature, not of fantasy\". On scene, the redacted officers \"noted four small irregularly shaped smouldering areas and four regular depressed areas approximately sixteen by six inches in rectangular type pattern averaging about twelve feet apart\". Object: \"oval shaped, similar to football, possibly twenty feet long, and had a red insignia about thirty inches high and two feet wide\". \"No other witnesses known to noise, flame or object.\" The commander of Stallion Range Center was advised. \"Military presently conducting operation known as Cloud Gap ... Not known if above incident relates to Cloud Gap.\" The Albuquerque office was \"conducting no investigation\" and maintaining liaison with the military.","Air Force summary, Blue Book file pp. 11-12. The main findings: A search the evening of 24 April by Sgt. Chavez, \"Agent Byrnes of the FBI\" and Capt. Richard Holder found no tyre marks or other markings \"other than those located at the site of the alleged landing\". Radioactivity: none (Maj. Conner, Sgt. Moody). Helicopters: all White Sands helicopters were in their hangars. Kirtland helicopter gear \"did not coincide with the marks\". Military helicopters within 300 miles, including those of Project Cloud Gap, were \"eliminated\". However, \"civilian helicopter activity was not completely determined\". Radar at White Sands and Alamogordo saw \"no unidentified activity\". Soil (lab analysis completed 19 May 1964): \"no foreign material\" and no propellant chemicals. VTOL aircraft and lunar modules: a lunar module configuration \"conform[s] not only to the description of the object but also have girder like legs\". \"One known experimental model, constructed by Bell Aircraft Corporation, is located at Edwards AFB.\" No operational craft could be placed at Socorro. Additional witness. The *El Defensor Chieftain* of 28 April 1964 reported an unidentified tourist on US 85 who saw the UFO just before it landed. Mr. Opal Grinder of the Whiting Brothers Service Station confirmed by phone that he was the source. That is secondhand: tourist to Grinder to newspaper and Air Force. The tourist was not identified. Conclusion: \"a sighting definitely did occur\". The Air Force's statement for the press was that investigators \"have not been able to identify or determine what type of vehicle or object\" Zamora saw, and that \"the sighting cannot be attributed to atmospheric or astronomical phenomena\". It went on: \"I can categorically state that the vehicle or object observed by Mr Lonnie Zamora was not an inter-planetary space vehicle\". \"This case is still open.\"","Record card: final carried status UNIDENTIFIED (see \"Primary sources\").","**Quintanilla, *Studies in Intelligence*, 1966.** He says the following were all checked: Geiger counters from Kirtland AFB, the Holloman balloon control center, weather balloon releases, helicopters statewide, government and private aircraft, the Pentagon reconnaissance division, the White House Command Post, the Holloman commander, White Sands down-range controllers, and industrial firms in lunar vehicle research. \"The findings were altogether negative.\" The down-range Holloman MTI radar closest to Socorro \"had been closed down for the day at 1600 hours\". His verdict: \"There is no doubt that Lonnie Zamora saw an object which left quite an impression on him. There is also no question about Zamora's reliability ... He is puzzled by what he saw, and frankly, so are we.

He walked out of the bush and that afternoon flagged down an RCMP constable on the Trans-Canada Highway. The RCMP \"D\" Division report of 26 May 1967 survives in Library and Archives Canada (LAC) holdings and is reproduced on the ufotransparency.com mirror.

Its author leaned toward a hoax but did not demonstrate one. LAC's own podcast notes that the Department of National Defence still lists the case as unsolved. The burns and illness are documented. What caused them is not.","rec":["First police contact (firsthand, Cst. Solotki). About 3 pm on 20 May, Michalak flagged down Cst.

Solotki recorded that Michalak looked \"as though he had been on a drunk\". He thought the marks on the chest looked like ash rubbed on the skin. These are the constable's impressions; no blood-alcohol test is recorded.","Interview at home. On 23 May, Cpl. Davis and Cst. Zacharias visited Michalak at 314 Lindsay St., Winnipeg. J.B. Thompson of APRO, a private UFO group, was present. Longer interviews, about 2 hours, were recorded on 24 May.","Background checks. Michalak came to Canada in 1949. Checks at the Selkirk and Brandon mental hospitals and the Winnipeg Psychiatric Institute were negative. His employer, Inland Cement, called him a good and trusted employee.","Medical. He reported a 13 lb weight loss and a taste like burned wiring. He told an intern at Misericordia Hospital that the burns were from aircraft exhaust. The report notes he did not then mention a UFO. Dr. R. Douglas Oatway examined him and found nothing wrong mentally. The burn was about 1 ft across, blotchy, without blistering.","Radioactivity. He would not at first hand over his shirt, citing radioactivity fears. Dr. Gillies of the Cancer Research Clinic tested his undershirt, cap and skin and found no radioactive material. A damaged glove was taken by Thompson (APRO). The RCMP report says it was not recovered. Michalak said a nickel strike in the area was a reason he had been reluctant to show the site. He had also phoned the *Winnipeg Tribune*.","Search. On 25 May, RCMP officers and 7 RCAF personnel searched by helicopter and on foot from the Falcon Lake golf course.

Some heard a whistle. Witnesses then saw a single light floating on the sea, which drifted with the ebb tide for several minutes. RCMP officers arrived in time to see it. Within the hour, the officers, local fishing boats and a Coast Guard boat were on the water. They found only a patch of unusual foam. The Canadian Forces Rescue Coordination Centre at Halifax ruled out a missing aircraft. Maritime Command sent navy divers, who found nothing. The University of Colorado UFO project (Condon Report, Case 34) took the case by telephone and closed it without explanation. The event itself is solidly attested by police and the military. What the object was has never been established, and no physical evidence is known to survive. Most of the military message traffic is known only through private researchers' transcriptions, which I could not check against the originals.","rec":["Naval Maritime Command watch officer (Condon Case 34; secondhand, since he relayed reports he had received). Reports said \"an object about 60 ft. long with four lights on it had gone whistling into the sea; it flashed when it hit, and a white light remained on the water afterwards.\" The original report came from two teenagers, and the Navy was searching for wreckage. No aircraft were missing. Five days later, Maritime Command told the project the search had ended. The watch officer read from an RCMP report saying that \"a 60 ft. object had been seen to explode upon impact with the water.\"","RCMP corporal (Condon Case 34). Ledger names him as Cpl. Victor Werbicki of the Barrington Passage detachment. The first report came from five young people, 15-20 years old. While driving near the shore, they saw \"three or four yellow lights in a horizontal pattern comparable in size to a 'fair-sized' aircraft, descending at about 45°\" toward the water. After losing sight of it for about ten seconds behind a hill, they saw \"a single white light on the water\". \"Two officers and the corporal had arrived about 15 min. later, in time to see the light on the water. It persisted about five minutes longer.\" This is firsthand police observation of the light. Ten minutes after the light went out, the officers were on the water in a rowboat, along with a Coast Guard boat and six fishing boats. They found \"only patches of foam 30-40 yd. wide that the fishermen thought was not normal tide foam\". \"Apparently no one actually saw anything enter the water.\" Other witnesses: two young women on the island saw three yellow lights tilt and descend, then a yellow light on the water. A man about two miles away saw three red-orange lights descending at \"aircraft speed\" with \"a whistling sound like a falling bomb\". The corporal said the light was not on any boat. Air Search and Rescue had no missing aircraft. \"An RCAF radar station nearby reported no Canadian or U.S. air operations in the area at the time, nor any unusual radar object.\" The night was clear and moonless. Navy divers found \"nothing relevant\".","A fishing captain's report of red lights and radar targets was judged unrelated by Condon, because his position was about 175 nautical miles from the site.","Condon closure: \"No further investigation by the project was considered justifiable, particularly in view of the immediate and thorough search that had been carried out by the RCMP and the Maritime Command.\"","Cited in BAASS's capabilities summary for DIA (DOW-UAP-D175, November 2010, PURSUE Release 07)."],"cl":[{"text":"Laurie Wickens (18) and four friends saw four amber lights flashing in sequence descend at 45°.

The Aeronautica Militare (Italian Air Force), through its Stato Maggiore, publishes its UFO (\"O.V.N.I.\") records on aeronautica.difesa.it/ovni. Reports from the public reach it mainly through the Carabinieri, and Air Force personnel check them against known flight activity, radiosonde launches and natural phenomena. Two kinds of document are published:\n\n- Retrospective dossiers (summary tables, one row per event, not the case files):\n\n- \"Archivio OVNI 1972-1990\": 227 pages, about 208 entries. The PDF was made in May 2023.\n\n- \"Archivio OVNI 1991-2000\": 122 pages, about 112 entries.\n\n- Annual reports since 2001, as short monthly tables.\n\nEach entry gives the date, time, place, shape, colour, speed, direction, altitude, weather and who reported it (private citizens, Carabinieri, Air Force, Navy or airline crews), plus a one-line verdict (\"RISCONTRI\").\n\n- In the 1972-1990 dossier, about 201 of 208 entries are marked \"catalogato come O.V.N.I.\" on review of the archive data. Only a handful are attributed to a star, a meteor, space debris, a sounding balloon or an airliner landing at Linate.\n\n- From 2001 the standard verdict is that the event could not be associated with known flight or radiosonde activity or a known natural phenomenon.\n\n- Many reports come from pilots and military personnel. For example: Alitalia AZ 122 on Fiumicino-Palermo, 14 Dec 1972; an ATI DC-9 captain and Air Force staff at Ronchi dei Legionari, 29 Sep 1973.\n\nThe case. The strongest entry I found is Caselle Torinese, 30 November 1973 (dossier 1972-1990, entry 7 for 1973, PDF p. 11). The reporters were a civilian private pilot and Air Force personnel. The object was \"luminescente non uniforme\" with variable speed and direction, and the verdict is \"catalogato come O.V.N.I.\" In the contemporaneous press (AFP via France-Soir, 2 Dec 1973; Le Provençal, 3 Dec 1973):\n\n- Caselle radar showed a return comparable to a DC-8. The tower warned private pilot Riccardo Marano of an object about 400 m up.\n\n- Marano approached and saw a luminous sphere shifting from purple to blue to garnet-red, and followed it toward the Ligurian coast before it climbed sharply away.\n\n- Col. Rustichelli, commander of the military side of Caselle, confirmed the sighting, and an Alitalia crew departing for Rome also reported it.\n\nThe Air Force summary itself mentions no radar. The radar detail rests on the press. The official trail is therefore a dated government entry confirming the event, the reporters and the \"OVNI\" classification, without the underlying file.","rec":["The Air Force entry (official): place \"Caselle Torinese (TO)\"; date 30/11/1973; time 19.00; form \"non indicato\"; colour \"luminescente non uniforme\"; speed \"variabile\"; direction \"variabile\"; altitude \"non indicato\"; reported by \"pilota civile di velivolo privato\" and \"personale Aeronautica Militare\".

They said it hovered at roughly 200-300 ft, shone a steerable spotlight, made flat turns, and twice seemed to blink back in answer to headlight signals. The first report came at 01:45 on 3 April from Lumberton patrolman Phil Stanton, who saw it over the town's water tower. The best investigative record is CUFOS Report No. 3, Jennie Zeidman's The Lumberton Report (May 1976). It is built on interviews and on the police logs, and it counts at least 57 events and at least 48 police witnesses. Separately, the Strickland/Locklear party reported five red lights landing in daylight near Pembroke, with ash-like traces left behind. No government investigation file has been found. A Piedmont Airlines Boeing 737 on night proficiency flights was proposed locally as the cause. Zeidman showed it could not account for several of the key reports.","rec":["01:45, 3 April, Lumberton.

I saw a beam of light just directed straight down and it lit up the lettering on the water tower.

The water tower is 162 ft high (Robeson County Public Works).","About 01:55, near St. Pauls. Patrolman R. T.

Woods says Richard Doty was at his debrief, and an old chain of researchers says Doty forged the only paper, the 'L-9' report about a neighbouring site 8 miles away. Woods was reported to have died on 16 October 2026 (not independently confirmed).","rec":["Two named airmen, Woods and Johnson, each give a firsthand account of the night (American Alchemy, 2026).","Michels phoned Johnson cold on 26 June 2026; prompted only with 'Ellsworth, 1977, November-5', Johnson said 'Oh, the UFO'.

Wellington air traffic control radar and the aircraft's own weather radar showed unexplained targets. On 30-31 December, an Australian TV crew (reporter Quentin Fogarty, cameraman David Crockett, sound recordist Ngaire Crockett) flew with Capt. Bill Startup and First Officer Robert Guard to re-create the earlier flights. They filmed bright lights, some of which matched radar returns. The footage went around the world. The Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) opened file AIR 1080/6/897. The Defence Department and the DSIR (Department of Scientific and Industrial Research) concluded that the main sightings were Venus seen through a disturbed atmosphere, squid-boat lights, and radar anomalies. Their own reports concede some exceptions. The DSIR placed Startup's main sighting about 10 minutes before Venus should have risen. The RNZAF Director of Operations wrote that for some sightings \"no explanation can be offered\". The released file is a strong primary record. The explanation it gives is partly demonstrated and partly assumed.","rec":["DOPS report, 11 January 1979 (official; Clements): Para 23: Startup's sighting was at about 0225, while \"Venus did not rise until about 0328\". The DSIR suggested super-refraction, and the report refers to a \"troublesome layer\". The radar return was \"most probably … spurious or of a ship\". Para 26: orange lights near Nelson Bay: \"No explanation can be offered\". Para 29h: \"Almost all the sightings can be explained by natural but unusual phenomena. The few for which the evidence to date in [sic] inconclusive may well be explained in due course\".","DSIR interim report, 12 January 1979 (official; Collins): Startup's sighting shortly after 0230 was \"some 10 minutes before Venus should rise\". Its appearance was \"classic for that of a planet substantially refracted\". Using the reflection on the sea, the object was at least 100 km away. Exceptions it noted: Powell's pulsating light of 20/21 December, with on-board radar contact, at about 15,000 km/h, which it speculated might be a meteorite; and a radar target on Startup's aircraft radar keeping station at about 16 km, attributed to a possible atmospheric mirror reflection. Conclusion: \"major sightings are consistent with observations of the planet Venus through a disturbed atmosphere\".","PEL film analysis (McDonnell and Fowler): the restored image of the Clarence River TV1 film segment is consistent with Venus.","Defence News Release (official): it attributes the sightings to \"natural but unusual atmospheric phenomena\", Venus, and squid boats (50+ boats, each with about 200 kW of lights). The Ministry \"totally discounts the possibility of visits… of alien aircraft\".","Dennis Grant statement (firsthand witness, TV One). At 2.18, First Officer Guard pointed out the object. Startup's radar showed it as close as 10 miles. Grant saw its reflection on the ocean.","Startup interview summary (firsthand, as recorded by the RNZAF, pp. 172-173).

The captain, Francisco Javier Lerdo de Tejada, made an unscheduled landing at Valencia-Manises. Airport staff on the ground also reported lights. In the early hours, a Spanish Air Force Mirage F-1 from Los Llanos (Albacete), flown by Capt. Fernando Cámara, was sent up. He chased lights for about an hour and a half without closing on them. The Spanish Air Force file on the case was declassified in 1994 and is held by the Ministry of Defence's Biblioteca Virtual de Defensa (BVD). I could read only the catalogue record of the main 147-page file. Its page images block automated access. I read a related 12-page file covering the 11, 17 and 28 November 1979 incidents, which deals mostly with a later Madrid scramble. The best-known prosaic explanation was proposed by Juan Antonio Fernández Peris: refinery flares and stars. Other researchers dispute it, and it has not been demonstrated.","rec":["The 12-page file (official, read). It contains: A 1992 Mando Operativo Aéreo (MOA) message asking units to recover information on UFO cases, partly to counter \"ocultismo\", with a list of incidents. The Madrid scramble of 28 November 1979: An F-4 from Torrejón took off at 03:30 after the Villatobas radar (EVA-2) reported contacts at about 80,000 ft. The crew got no visual contact. They had four fleeting radar contacts, three of them elongated, diffuse echoes. Their radar warning receiver (RHAW) showed strobes in band I at 7:30 o'clock. Visibility was good and there was no interference. A letter from the Mando Aéreo del Centro saying the relevant logbooks had been destroyed after 6 months.","What the main 147-page file says about the Manises flight itself. This could not be read here. A press summary (*El Debate*, 9 Dec 2024, secondhand) quotes the file: \"No hubo contacto radar con objeto alguno\", and says there were radio interference and some blockages (\"blocajes\") in the aircraft's alert system. It also says Cámara's pursuit lasted \"hora y media\" and he returned to Albacete short of fuel, as the object was not getting closer.","Declassification. The 1994 release (JEMA 3216) is recorded in the BVD catalogue (official)."],"cl":[{"text":"Two powerful red lights approached the Supercaravelle from the left, matched its climb from 23,000 to 28,000 ft, and stayed about 500 m away (chain: crew to Barcelona control on the night; later interviews with J.J.

As it left, it was surrounded by many twin-rotor helicopters they took to be military; they counted 23 and 26. All three became ill afterwards: burns, blisters, hair loss and vomiting. Betty Cash was hospitalised for weeks. They pressed a claim against the U.S. government. On the record are their recorded interview with Air Force claims officers at Bergstrom AFB (17 Aug 1981) and an Army Inspector General inquiry (Lt. Col. George Sarran, 1982), which, by the secondary accounts, couldn't trace the helicopters. A federal suit was dismissed in 1986.

I knew that there was no way we could go under it the way the fire was shooting out the bottom of it.\" The car was a 1980 Oldsmobile Cutlass. Helicopters: \"there was helicopters completely around the object ... They were the ones that had two deals, two rotors on them ... I counted twenty three.\" On markings: \"'United States Air Force'\". She wrote out exactly what she saw and initialled the paper. \"Vicki says she counted 26.\" The helicopters followed the object toward Crosby and Intercontinental Airport, \"on both sides of it and looked like they were trying their best to get around the top of it\". Injuries: \"I was completely blistered ... I stayed in the hospital for a month, maybe a little bit longer ... at Parkway Hospital in Houston.\" She reported continuing diarrhoea, weakness, severe headaches and failing eyesight. Vickie Landrum: \"I was in the incident ... and so was Colby Lee.\" Colby: aged seven, \"going to be eight in January\". The officers did not offer the witnesses any finding during the interview, as far as the transcript runs.","Hospital dates (quoted by the *Birmingham News*, 1989, from records): Cash was admitted to Parkway Hospital on 2 Jan 1981 and discharged on 14 Jan, then readmitted on 25 Jan and released on 9 Feb.

The Peruvian Air Force (FAP) runs an office for anomalous aerial phenomena. The press calls it the DIFAA (Departamento de Investigación de Fenómenos Aéreos Anómalos). The FAP's own state news agency, Andina, calls it the OIFAA (Oficina de Investigación del Fenómeno Aéreo Anómalo).\n\n- It was created in 2001. Its first documented case was Chulucanas, Piura, 13 October 2001: reportedly eight red-orange spheres watched by hundreds of people for over five hours. The chief investigator then was Anthony Choy.\n\n- It went dormant around 2005-2008. Sources differ, and the reasons were \"administrative problems\".\n\n- In October 2013 the FAP's Dirección de Intereses Aeroespaciales (DINAE), headed by Col. Julio Vucetich, announced it would reopen. It was to bring together Air Force personnel with sociologists, archaeologists, astronomers and meteorologists, and to take reports from the public.\n\n- It has been led since October 2013 by Cmdr. (ret.) Julio César Chamorro Flores. He is a former La Joya radar operator trained in the USSR.\n\n- I found no published OIFAA case file or archive. The UFO Transparency mirror has no Peruvian files.\n\nThe case. In 2013, OIFAA's head pointed to La Joya as the reference case. On the morning of 11 April 1980, Lt. Óscar Santa María Huertas was scrambled in a Sukhoi Su-22 from La Joya to intercept an object over the base. The base suspected an espionage balloon. He fired about sixty 30 mm rounds at it with no visible effect. He then chased it for about 22 minutes up to about 63,000 ft, and broke off short of fuel. The incident was reported by the US defence attaché in a June 1980 DoD message titled \"UFO Sighted in Peru\". That message is widely cited, and Santa María submitted a copy of it at the 2013 Citizen Hearing. It states the object's origin as unknown. I could not obtain or read that message, and the date (April or May 1980) and other details vary between accounts. So this is graded sourced, not record.","rec":["OIFAA (DIFAA) is an FAP office.

From December 1981 residents reported unexplained lights, sometimes several a week. Most were white or yellow-white. Some hovered for over an hour, others moved fast, and many stayed below the surrounding mountain tops. Volunteers founded Project Hessdalen in 1983, with help from the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (NDRE) and the universities of Oslo and Bergen. Its instrumented field campaign in early 1984 used cameras with spectral gratings, radar, a magnetometer, a seismograph, a spectrum analyser, a Geiger counter, an infrared viewer and a laser. Erling Strand's final technical report concluded that \"the phenomenon, whatever it is, can be measured\", by radar and laser as well as by eye and camera. In 1998 the project installed the \"Blue Box\", which it calls the world's first automated anomaly-detection station; it was re-equipped in 2024. Bjørn Gitle Hauge published an investigation of the lights in Acta Astronautica (2010). Østfold University College, where Strand taught, still holds events in the valley. Several authors have proposed natural mechanisms, chiefly a dusty plasma (Paiva & Taft 2010, 2012). The lights have not been explained.","rec":["Background in the 1984 report — firsthand (project report) — Strand 1985: the project \"was born on 3 June 1983\"; it was presented at BUFORA's congress on 27 August 1983; report forms went to 3,300 households in January 1984; fieldwork ran from 21 January to 26 February 1984.","188 light reports came in during the field period. 135 were rated \"a known light\" (F1-F4). 53 were rated F5 or higher, meaning \"might be the Hessdals-phenomenon\". Of these, about 68% moved along a north-south axis and 39% flickered. One photographed light showed an oscillation of 7 ± 2 Hz — analysis — Strand 1985.","There were 36 radar recordings, 3 of them probably also seen as lights. On nine occasions a return travelled in a nearly straight line. Two returns photographed on the screen were as strong as returns from the mountains — firsthand (instrument record) — Strand 1985.","On those radar returns, an NDRE radar expert said: \"If this isn't a reflection of a solid object, but only gas in the air, the gas has to be locally and strongly ionised. Otherwise, it wouldn't give such a strong reflection\" — analysis — unnamed NDRE radar expert, quoted by Strand 1985.","On 12 February 1984 a laser was pointed at regularly flashing lights 9 times. There was a reaction 8 times: the light changed from a single to a double flash pattern and back when the laser was removed — firsthand (field team) — Strand 1985.","The Geiger counter, seismograph and IR viewer recorded nothing.

He saw a lead-coloured object shaped like two inverted plates come down onto a terrace on his property. It stayed only moments, then rose and left toward the north-east. Next morning he showed his wife a circular mark on the ground. A neighbour alerted the gendarmerie, who examined the marks and took soil and plant samples on 9 January. GEPAN, the UAP unit of the French space agency CNES, collected more plant samples on 17 February. GEPAN had soil and vegetation analysed by several laboratories, including the biochemist Michel Bounias at INRA Avignon. Its Note Technique nº 16 (1 March 1983) concluded that the analyses showed \"an event of great magnitude\" involving mechanical deformation, heating (below 600°C) and possibly trace deposits of material, and that the plant samples showed distance-graded biochemical changes. It also stated that these results did not definitively confirm the witness's account. Sceptics (Michel Figuet in 1995; Rossoni, Maillot and Déguillaume in 2007) argue the marks were tyre skids and the case a hoax. That is proposed, not demonstrated. GEIPAN is reported to classify the case as \"D\" (unexplained after investigation). I could not load the GEIPAN case page to confirm this.","rec":["Gendarmerie PV of 9 January 1981 (firsthand witness statement, extract in NT16 §3.1): \"Hier, 8 Janvier 1981 … Il était environ 17 heures … Mon attention a été attirée par un léger bruit, une sorte de petit sifflement … j'ai vu en l'air un engin qui se trouvait à la hauteur d'un gros pin.\" \"l'engin avait la forme de deux assiettes renversées, l'une contre l'autre. Il devait mesurer environ un mètre cinquante de hauteur. Il avait la couleur du plomb.\" When it lifted off he saw underneath \"quatre ouvertures par lesquelles ne s'échappait ni flamme ni fumée\"; he was about 30 m away; it left toward the north-east. \"Je n'ai ressenti aucun trouble de la vue ou de l'ouie.\" He had been on an invalidity pension since a 1973 heart attack and had not worked since November 1979.","Gendarmerie description of the traces (official, quoted in NT16 §4.2): \"deux cercles concentriques l'un de 2,20 m de diamètre, l'autre de 2,40 m … une couronne de 10 centimètres d'épaisseur … deux parties diamétralement opposées de 0,80 m environ … qui présentent des stries noires semblables à des traces de ripage.\" The phrase about tyre skid marks is the gendarmes' own comparison.","Investigation timeline (NT16 §1): The gendarmerie was alerted by the neighbours and arrived on 9 January at about 11:30. It took photos, a soil sample (P1) and plant samples. GEPAN learned of the case on 12 January. Heavy rain fell on 10-11 January. GEPAN did not go at once and asked the gendarmerie to send samples to the labs. The gendarmes took control plant samples on 23 January. GEPAN visited on 17 February, 40 days after the event, and took 8 plant samples (E1-E8) along one line plus a soil control (P2).","GEPAN's witness assessment (NT16 §3.3-3.4): Single witness; no other witness was found. His various accounts differ mainly in wording, which GEPAN attributes more to the interviewers than to the witness. He thought it was \"sans doute un engin militaire\", pointing to a large military training camp nearby. The anonymised note calls it \"JOUVAN\"; my guess is that this means Canjuers, but that is unverified. GEPAN found no sign of invention or exaggeration, but noted that \"l'absence de preuve n'étant pas … la preuve de l'absence\".","Air activity (NT16 §5.2): The army aviation (ALAT) reported one Alouette II helicopter over the area at about 200 m altitude around 16:30 local on 8 January. At that camp, the only notable activity was short-range inert tank-gun firing more than 25 km to the north.","Soil analyses (NT16 §6; labs: SNEAP Boussens, Université Paul Sabatier / Rangueil, LPMIA Faculté de Metz, LDP Pau). Findings: compaction and surface striation, with a flint fragment cut and polished; no organic combustion residues from hydrocarbon engines (SNEAP); iron or iron oxide in micron-thick streaks on limestone grains; phosphate and zinc traces, and a polymeric carbon matrix \"analogous to … certain polymers or petroleum residues\" (Metz); a monocrystalline compound absent from the control sample; heating, but \"dont la valeur n'a pas excédé 600°\"."],"cl":[{"text":"The object was metallic, heavy (estimates ranging from 500-700 kg to 4-5 tonnes) and emitted pulsed microwaves","witness":"analysis","grade":"sourced","by":"Jean-Jacques Velasco (later head of SEPRA) in later books (*Ovnis, la science avance*; *Ovnis : l'évidence*, 2004), as quoted by Rossoni, Maillot and Déguillaum"},{"text":"Je ne vois pas quoi d'autre que ce qui a été décrit par M.

On 29 January 2009 the Royal Danish Air Force (Flyvevåbnet) released its UFO archive. The release came after years of requests from journalists. It is 329 pages, published as four PDFs, and covers reports registered by the Danish armed forces from about 1978 to 2002. After 2002 the civilian group SUFOI (Skandinavisk UFO Information) took over collecting reports.\n\n- Contents. The file is mostly the standard questionnaire \"Spørgeskema til brug for militære og civile myndigheder ved afhøring angaaende observerede 'raketter' o.l.\" (RCS: CHODDEN INT-20209). Alongside are letters from Flyvertaktisk Kommando (FTK, Tactical Air Command, Karup) to witnesses and to SUFOI, police reports, telexes from Grønlands Kommando (GLK), newspaper cuttings and a few laboratory reports. Witness names are blacked out.\n\n- Danish press on the release:\n\n- Ingeniøren reported over 300 reports since 1978, and that \"according to the Air Force, most of the observations have never been explained\".\n\n- UPI reported more than 200 unsolved cases.\n\n- Capt. Thomas Pedersen said \"there is nothing really secret in them.\"\n\n- The archive explains some cases itself:\n\n- An FTK letter of 26 Feb 1979 (OP-2 307/UFO-111) attributes the Viborg photo of 17 Nov 1974 to steam from the Viborg district-heating plant.\n\n- A 1980 Jydsk Teknologisk Institut test identifies an \"ice lump\" that fell in Brabrand as frozen toilet waste.\n\n- FTK letters attribute several 1979-80 sightings to Draken jets.\n\n- Reading caveat. The PDFs are scanned images with no text layer. I viewed contact sheets of parts 2-4 and read selected pages in full; I did not read all 329 pages.\n\nThe case. The strongest case I found is a set of Greenland reports in autumn 1983, which went through police and Grønlands Kommando. At Egedesminde (Aasiaat) on 2 November 1983, a local man and three others watched two lights for about 50 minutes and reported to a police officer.\n\n- The first looked like an \"airship\" or cabin with 4-5 white lights in a row and a projector-like beam sweeping the water and the Manitsoq hills.\n\n- The second was round and ball-like, with two red lights and then a bright white one.\n\n- The police officer checked at once. Grønlands Kommando reported no aircraft in the area. Egedesminde Radio said no ships had sailed and that ships arriving in port did not match.\n\n- The coastal ship Orsiaat reported a very bright white light in the clouds over Qutdligssat the same evening.\n\n- The Søndre Strømfjord flight information centre (FIC BGSF) reported nothing on radar in the period.\n\n- Grønlands Kommando's telex calls the four witnesses \"fire paalidelige personer\" (four reliable persons).\n\nThe file contains no explanation for this case. Other autumn-1983 Greenland reports in the same bundle (Godhavn, Angmagssalik/Kulusuk, Nuuk) include one entity description and one light the police officer himself thought was the Pole Star.","rec":["GLK telex r 031352z NOV 83 (official; my translation): \"politiet i egedesminde har oplyst at fire paalidelige personer i egedesminde har obs en flyvende genstand to gange. foerste gang 022145z til 022215z…\". Further: \"et skib i farvandet [har] obs en lyskegle i skyerne\"; the first object was \"aflang (luftskibsform)\" (elongated, airship-shaped) and the second \"kuppelformet\" (dome-shaped). \"fic bgsf oplyste at der ikke havde vaeret noget at obs paa radar i det paagaeldende tidsrum.\"","The Egedesminde police report (official): The witness reported at 19:45 to the officer, who happened to be nearby on other duty. The sighting ran 18:45-19:35. The officer himself searched from high points in town from 20:00 to 20:50 and saw nothing of interest. At 21:30 the GLK duty officer had no other reports. At 22:15 GLK said there had been no aircraft in the area, and that other UFO reports around Egedesminde were coming in but were for now put down to rumour (\"rygtedannelser\"). Egedesminde Radio listed the ships that arrived that evening (*Bistrup* 19:15, *Tugdlik* 19:40, *Elith Knudsen* 19:45) and said none had sailed. The crew of KGH ship *Orsiaat* had seen \"et meget skarpt hvidt lys oppe i skyerne over Qutdlissat\" before 22:00. The officer notes that the crew mentioned this only after the radio operator told them of the town's reports.","The witnesses denied they could have mistaken ships' lights, though two red lights \"kunne være lanterner ved havneindsejlingen\" (could have been lanterns at the harbour entrance), which blink.

Tower controllers and the crew of a civil aircraft saw lights. The Brazilian Air Force (FAB) scrambled F-5E fighters from Santa Cruz (Rio) and Mirage F-103 fighters from Anápolis (Goiás). Several pilots got radar contacts. One F-103 pilot reported a radar lock on a target that pulled away even when he was supersonic. Most pilots saw no object, or saw only lights. The Air Minister, Brig. Octávio Moreira Lima, held a televised press conference with the pilots and controllers on 23 May. The Air Defence Command (COMDA) sent an occurrence report dated 2 June 1986 to the Armed Forces General Staff. It concluded that the phenomena were \"solid\" and reflected \"a certain intelligence\". That report has been public since 2009 at the Arquivo Nacional. A more cautious CINDACTA I report of 27 May 1986 said the radar returns were only \"plots\" that never formed tracks. No explanation has been demonstrated.","rec":["COMDA occurrence report (ARX.0.0.249, 2 June 1986). It notes the radar system was oriented to air traffic control, with manual track initiation, and was deficient for air defence. Timeline, roughly: 2315Z: São José dos Campos (SJC) tower sees lights. 0008Z: PT-MBZ, the EMBRAER aircraft, reports. 0039Z: Santa Cruz aircraft alerted. 0110Z: APP-AN (Anápolis) echoes. Then further alerts. The Anápolis aircraft had 5 radar presentations, the closest at 2 NM, with zigzag movement, and the target pulled away even at supersonic speed. \"13 plots\" behind the second Santa Cruz aircraft. Landings between 0237Z and 0330Z. \"Final considerations\" list characteristics a-f: echoes seen at the same time by ground radar and by the interceptors' radar; speeds from subsonic to supersonic, and hovering; altitudes from below FL050 to above FL400; white, green or red lights, or none; abrupt acceleration; turns of constant or indefinite radius. Conclusion (quoted): \"os fenômenos são sólidos e refletem de certa forma inteligência, pela capacidade de acompanhar e manter distância dos observadores como também voar em formação, não forçosamente tripulados.\"","CINDACTA I report (CENDOC Env. 08, pp. 131-134), 27 May 1986, by 1º Ten. Francisco Hugo Nunes Freitas (chief controller, COpM) to the COpM I information section. Witnesses include the SJC tower operator, 2S Sergio Mota da Silva. Aircraft involved: JB17, JB07 (13 plots), JG116 (5 presentations, \"JUDITE\" radar lock, 2 miles), JG98 and JG107. Its conclusion is more cautious. The ground radar returns were all \"PLOTS\", which \"não chegaram a constituir pistas\" (never became tracks). Anápolis's data did not match the Gama radars. About 20 plots in total.","Pilot reports (firsthand, written; CENDOC Env. 08): Ten. Kleber Caldas Marinho (1st F-5E, Santa Cruz), report of 28 May 1986, pp. 35-36. Radar contact at 10-12 NM. The target moved from 1-2 o'clock low to 12 o'clock high, between FL170 and FL330. He saw green, red and white lights, and noted anomalies on his HSI, ADF and DME. Cap. Márcio Brisolla Jordão (2nd F-5E), p. 37. Clear sky, \"lua cheia\" (full moon). No visual on the radar contacts; he later saw a red light toward the sea. Cap. Armindo Souza Viriato de Freitas (1st F-103, call sign JG116), Anápolis report, pp. 38-42. Radar lock (\"JUDITH\") at 13 NM, with the target in zigzag. At 6 NM, while flying at Mach 1.05, the range opened rapidly. The closest approach was 2 NM. No visual contact; he notes the moon's brightness.

The FAA documents spell these names variously, e.g. \"Takonori\", \"Tsukuda\" and \"Yoshie Tsukuba\". At about 18:19 AST (02:19 UTC) the crew reported unidentified traffic with lights pacing the aircraft over eastern Alaska. They reported it on the aircraft's own weather radar, and both Anchorage Center (ZAN) and the military Regional Operations Control Center (ROCC) saw intermittent primary returns near the 747. The encounter lasted about 30 minutes in the ATC chronology; the crew put it at about 50 minutes. A United flight and a USAF C-130 vectored to look saw nothing but the JAL aircraft. The FAA Alaskan Region interviewed the crew that night and again in January 1987. On 5 March 1987 it released a large documentary package (NTIS PB87-184206) and said the second radar target was a split (\"uncorrelated primary and beacon\") return from the 747 itself. It said it was \"unable to confirm the event\" and did not try to say what the crew saw. Primary documentation is unusually rich: ATC transcripts, controller statements, radar printouts, interview transcripts, and the captain's written statement and drawings.","rec":["Chronology (ZAN memo, 18 Dec 1986, -012): 0219 UTC: the crew reports same-direction traffic about 1 mile ahead at their altitude, showing \"white and yellow strobes\". 0225: the traffic is on the 747's own radar at 11 o'clock, 8 miles. 0226: ROCC reports \"a primary radar return in JL1628's 10 o'clock position at 8 miles\". At 0227 ROCC no longer has it. 0232: descent from FL350 to FL310, and the traffic descends \"in formation\". 0236: a 360° turn. 0238: ROCC \"confirmed a 'flight of two' … one was a primary target only\". 0245–0250: United flight diverted to look. It saw the JAL aircraft \"and could not see any other traffic\". The memo concludes: \"Radar data recorded by Anchorage Center does not confirm the presence of the traffic reported by Flight 1628.\"","Controller Carl Henley (-018, 19 Nov 1986): \"ROCC did have primary target in the same position JL1628 reported.

CRIDOVNI (Comisión Receptora e Investigadora de Denuncias de Objetos Voladores No Identificados) is the Uruguayan Air Force (FAU) commission for UFO reports. It was set up in 1979, and Uruguayan officials describe it as the first official body of its kind in South America. It is a mixed military-civilian commission: three FAU officers plus civilian investigators, building on the methods of the civilian group CIOVI. It works with universities, laboratories and planetariums, and has no budget of its own.\n\n- Caseload, 2010 (Col. Ariel Sánchez): 2,200 reports received since its creation; 1,204 investigated; about 3% (\"unos cuarenta casos\") unresolved.\n\n- Breakdown, given by Lt. Daniel Silvera: 70% closed as explained and 27% on \"stand by\". 11% of testimonies came from qualified witnesses (pilots, meteorologists, controllers), and 7% of cases had physical evidence.\n\n- Recent work: it took on the Paysandú lights in 2023. A 2026 report says it began sharing information with the US AARO.\n\n- No public archive. Unlike Chile's, Argentina's or Italy's, Uruguay has published no file archive. Sánchez said the files stay confidential under Uruguay's privacy law because they hold witnesses' names and addresses. The commission answers specific questions and releases final reports, not the folders.\n\n- The CRIDOVNI material on the UFO Transparency mirror is empty (the /international/files/uy listing has no files).\n\nThe case. By CRIDOVNI's own account, its most important unresolved cases are two involving the FAU itself, in which aircraft made visual contact with \"esferas lumínicas\" and failed to intercept them. The one Sánchez described in detail is the Palmar dam case of 1986:\n\n- FAU IA-58 Pucará aircraft on training manoeuvres near the dam, in a restricted zone, saw a round luminous object hovering over the dam.\n\n- They checked with the control tower, which had no traffic. They closed on the object twice, and it evaded both times, the second time heading west and changing from yellowish-white to reddish-orange.\n\n- A major blackout hit Montevideo, traced to an overheated line or transformer at the dam. Sánchez said the timing coincided but \"we are not able to prove that the object actually affected the transformer.\"\n\nEvery detail comes from interviews with commission members. No document from the case file has been published, so this is graded lead.","rec":["CRIDOVNI is an official FAU body, created in 1979. Officials quoted in the press: Col.

The reports reach us only through the KGB \"blue package\": 124 pages of military reports that the KGB (cover letter signed by deputy chairman N. A. Sham, ref. 1953/III, 24 Oct 1991) sent to cosmonaut Pavel Popovich, then president of the All-Union Ufological Association. Extracts first appeared publicly in Komsomolskaya Pravda on 4 February 2003. I have not seen any scan of the original documents. Their custody chain after 1991 is murky: the package reportedly went missing, was allegedly sold abroad, and copies resurfaced with ufologists. The case is therefore a well-specified lead, resting on newspaper transcriptions of documents that could not be independently checked.","rec":["Cover letter, KGB, 24.10.91, no. 1953/III: \"The Committee of State Security does not engage in systematic collection and analysis of information on anomalous phenomena (so-called unidentified flying objects).

Among them were reports from an RAF police patrol at RAF Cosford and from the duty meteorological observer at RAF Shawbury. Nick Pope, the desk officer at Sec(AS)2a, wrote that \"an unidentified object of unknown origin\" had operated in the UK Air Defence Region. The Assistant Chief of the Air Staff was briefed. The UK National Archives (TNA) files show that a radar replay found nothing unusual. The TNA's own release guide states that most of the sightings were caused by the re-entry of the Russian rocket that launched Cosmos 2238. Pope argued in 1993 that the re-entry did not explain the low-level sightings. The Shawbury observer later accepted that what he saw was probably a police helicopter. The main file, DEFE 24/2086, was released in 2009. I could not read it directly here. The trail rests on TNA's published summaries, David Clarke's detailed reading of the file, and a related file I read in part.","rec":["TNA highlights guide (official summary; quoted above).","DEFE 24/1962, E95-E97 (official, read).

The MoD's stated position: \"Our only concern is to establish whether or not they pose a threat to the security of the United Kingdom. Unless we judge that they do, and this has not been the case so far, we do not attempt to investigate further.\" The replies refer witnesses to BUFORA, Quest International and Contact International.","Not part of this event, although the mirror implies it is. DEFE 24/1962 also holds a letter dated 30 March 1993 from a Royal Navy Lieutenant Commander, an ex-naval pilot, answering an MoD letter of 24 March 1993. He describes three high-intensity \"Group Flashing (2)\" lights in Cassiopeia near Schedar. Because it answers a 24 March letter, his sighting predates 30-31 March. In its reply (E90, 6 April 1993, per the mirror; I did not view this page), the MoD said it would \"simply have to describe what you saw as 'unknown'\".","From DEFE 24/2086/1, via David Clarke (analysis by a named investigator quoting the file; secondhand to me): Pope's briefing: \"an unidentified object of unknown origin was operating in the UK Air Defence Region\".

One was Aerolíneas Argentinas flight 674, a Boeing 727 commanded by Jorge Polanco. The other was a Gendarmería Nacional Piper PA-31T Cheyenne, GN-705. The airport was running on its generator, and it had no air-traffic radar at the time. The 727 crew reported a light that approached, sat off their right side and \"formed\" on them, and they called it a possible flying saucer. The Gendarmería crew later saw a white or amber light skim over the lake and climb sharply. Controllers and ground witnesses also reported lights, and the airport generator failed during the 727's final approach, forcing a go-around. The Argentine Air Force's UFO commission (CEFAE, now CIAE) revisited the case twice:\n\n- 2018: it declared the case solved. The light the Gendarmería crew described matched, position for position, the beam of a powerful sky-searchlight that Juan Carlos Rivero was testing that night from the Rocket discotheque, reflected on the cloud base. This confirmed a hypothesis put forward in 1995 by Heriberto Janosch.\n\n- 2025: it reclassified the case as \"multicausal\". The over-lake (west) phase remains a GEIPAN Type A, an identified searchlight. The airport (east) phase is now a Type B, \"probable\". There the 727 crew most likely saw the Gendarmería Piper itself, about 11 nm closer than anyone thought, together with the searchlight testing coloured gels over Dina Huapi.\n\nThis is one of the best-documented official reinvestigations in Latin America. The official trail comes from the Air Force itself, and it has a named light source and a named operator.","rec":["The participants (CEFAE 2018): 727 crew: Polanco (captain), Carlos Atilio Dortona (co-pilot) and Jorge Allende (flight engineer), with Roberto Benavente, a B-747 captain, visiting the cockpit.

In early 1997 it opened a formal military police inquiry (Inquérito Policial Militar, IPM) at EsSA, prompted by Pacaccini and Maxs Portes's publication \"Incidente em Varginha\". The IPM took depositions from soldiers and officers. They explained the trucks' movements as routine maintenance at a Mercedes-Benz dealer, and denied any capture.

Its Star Safire II infrared camera (FLIR) recorded a group of up to 11 bright thermal points, and its radar showed at least one target. Nobody aboard saw anything with the naked eye. In April 2004 the Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional (SEDENA) gave the tapes to journalist Jaime Maussan. On 11-12 May 2004 they were shown to the press, and Defence Secretary Gen. Clemente Vega García said he had no explanation. SEDENA has never published a formal technical report. What survives officially is the video, Vega's public statements and later freedom-of-information answers confirming SEDENA holds the record. From May 2004, independent analysts identified the lights as gas flares on the Cantarell oil platforms in the Bay of Campeche. That identification is supported by satellite fire data showing flaring on the day. It is the strongest prosaic explanation, but no official body has adopted or formally tested it.","rec":["The aircraft was a Merlin C-26A, 501st Air Squadron, on a counter-narcotics patrol.

The reporting staff included ramp mechanics, a supervisor and, by some accounts, the crew of a departing B737. The object then rose steeply through the cloud and left a roughly circular hole that persisted for some minutes. FAA tower records obtained under FOIA show that controllers were told of a \"flying disc\" at C17 and said they saw nothing. The FAA put the sighting down to a \"weather phenomenon\" and did not investigate. The story became public through Jon Hilkevitch's front-page Chicago Tribune article of 1 January 2007. NARCAP (Richard F. Haines et al.) published a detailed investigation, Technical Report 10 (Case 18), dated 9 March 2007 and revised 24 July 2007. It reproduces the FOIA'd tower logs and audio transcripts. Every eyewitness is anonymous at their own request. No photograph or radar track exists.","rec":["FAA tower log (FOIA): at 2245 UTC, \"Sue\" from the United ramp tower asked about a flying disc near C17 at about 1,000 ft, and the tower replied it had not seen one.","Phone recording, \"Tower, this is Dave\" / \"Sue in the United tower\" (TR-10 Recording No. 1, start about 16:30 CST): Sue says \"that's what a pilot in the ramp area at C17 told us. They saw some flying disc above them. But we can't see above us.\" The FAA supervisor jokes and says \"No, I have not seen any flying disc at gate C17.\"","Ground-control recording, TR-10 Table 6, using Haines's clock times: 15:58:09: \"Gateway 5668, you can use Alpha to northport and use caution for the, ah UFO.\" 15:58:59: \"Somebody reported a UFO or a flying disc above Charley concourse, seriously … Nobody can see it. But use caution.\" About 16:47–16:48: the controller asks Gateway 5668 to \"look out your window … somebody observed a flying disc about a thousand feet above the, ah… gate Charley 17\". A \"United taxi mechanics\" voice replies \"Oh, we saw it a half hour ago … A whole bunch of us over at Charley concourse … We thought it was a balloon but we're not sure.\" TR-10 itself notes that these times are hard to square with the 16:30 phone call and the 2245 UTC log entry. The timeline is not settled.","FAA public statements (via the Tribune, quoted in TR-10 §2.1.1 and §8.2): spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory said no tower controllers saw the object and \"a preliminary check of radar found nothing out of the ordinary\". She also said: \"Our theory on this is that it was a weather phenomenon. That night was a perfect atmospheric condition in terms of low ceiling and a lot of airport lights. When the lights shine up into the clouds, sometimes you can see funny things.\" Spokesman Tony Molinaro is later quoted as saying that the \"absence of any kind of factual evidence\" precluded an investigation (via Kean, 2007, cited in TR-10 §9).","Radar: NARCAP's review of FAA-supplied primary radar data confirmed that nothing was detected at that location and time (TR-10 Executive Summary).

Some described a huge object, in one account \"a mile long and half a mile wide\", and some said military jets were chasing it. Named witnesses in AP coverage included a private pilot (Steve Allen), a machinist (Ricky Sorrells) and an Erath County constable (Lee Roy Gaitan). The Air Force reserve wing at NAS JRB Fort Worth (former Carswell AFB) first said none of its aircraft were in the area. About two weeks later it reversed itself and said roughly ten F-16s had been training there. Glen Schulze (a radar engineer) and Robert Powell (MUFON Director of Research) obtained 2.8 million FAA radar returns from five sites, covering 16:00–20:00 local, through FOIA. They reported primary-only (non-transponder) targets that matched several witness sightings in time and direction, including one tracked for about an hour heading towards President Bush's Crawford ranch. Their report and the raw FAA radar files are public. That makes this a rare UAP case where independent re-analysis is possible. No government body has analysed the unknown tracks.","rec":["Air Force, first statement (AP, 14–15 Jan 2008): Maj. Karl Lewis, spokesman for the 301st Fighter Wing at NAS JRB Fort Worth, said no aircraft from the base were in the area. He said \"I'm 90 percent sure this was an airliner\" and \"With the sun's angle, it can play tricks on you.\" AP also reported that Dyess and Sheppard AFBs said none of their aircraft were in the area.","Air Force, revised statement (AP, 23 Jan 2008; NPR, 24 Jan 2008): military officials \"now say they did have about ten jets on night training flights\" from the 301st Fighter Wing. Lewis to NPR: \"There was an error that was reported and we corrected that error as soon as possible.\" He knew of no unusual reports from the F-16 pilots, and as far as he knew they had not been interviewed.","10th AF FOIA reply (report p.10): the on-board radar Digital Recording Cartridge files for 8 Jan 2008 \"have been overwritten\".","FAA radar (Schulze–Powell analysis, pp.20–46), all of it the authors' analysis of government data: Ten jets from Carswell flew through the area: sorties of four at about 17:52 and 18:15, and two at 18:29. Only the lead aircraft had transponders on. An aircraft on code 1462 flew a racetrack pattern at about 41,000 ft for the full four hours. The authors suggest it was an AWACS. Primary-only targets appear near Selden at 18:15:03, 7 miles north, with a second return 20 s later. Reading the two as one object implies about 2,100 mph. A slow primary-only target, mostly under 60 mph, was tracked from about 18:51 for over an hour, heading southeast towards the Crawford ranch. It was about 10 miles from the ranch at the last return at 20:00. At 19:32 the data show an apparent jump to 532 mph and back to 49 mph, which the authors concede \"could be due to imprecision with the radar\". The radar floor in the area was about 2,500–3,000 ft.","Witness testimony on the public record (AP, 14–15 Jan 2008): Steve Allen, pilot: \"It was positively, absolutely nothing from these parts\". He estimated the object at about a mile long and half a mile wide.

An engineer at a nearby aircraft factory, looking through the footage for a poster image, noticed a small object crossing the frame very fast. CEFAA eventually gathered seven videos: two clear ones from cameras about 20-30 ft apart, and five poor mobile-phone clips that it no longer holds. In February 2012 CEFAA's director, Gen. Ricardo Bermúdez, presented the case at the International UFO Congress in Phoenix. He said an external expert committee had ruled out a meteor, comet, re-entering debris, aircraft and bird, and the object was publicised as moving at over 4,000 mph. Two independent analyses commissioned later disagreed. Richard Haines (NARCAP) said at least one object was very likely not an insect. Bruce Maccabee said the two clips did not show the same object at the same time, and that insects were most likely. CEFAA's final stance, per Kean, was that the case remains unidentified but cannot be called insects either. No CEFAA document was readable here (cefaa.gob.cl unreachable). The trail rests on press and the analysts' summaries, which is why it is graded lead.","rec":["CEFAA presented the case as unexplained.

Its Wescam MX-15 infrared turret then recorded about three minutes of video of a small warm object crossing the airport area and moving towards the coast. In the video the object appears to dip into the sea and re-emerge as two. The video leaked onto YouTube, and in 2013 The Black Vault received an anonymous message about it. SCU obtained an original copy from a vetted, anonymous source on 20 Oct 2013. In 2015 the Scientific Coalition for Ufology (SCU; Robert Powell et al.) published a 155-page analysis. It concluded the object was 3–5 ft long, travelled at about 40–120 mph, at times below 40 ft altitude, and entered water without slowing. On 20 March 2025 the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) published a case resolution. It assessed with high confidence that the objects showed no anomalous or transmedium behaviour, and with moderate confidence that they were a pair of sky lanterns drifting at wind speed, about 8 mph. The apparent high speed was attributed to parallax and the apparent \"water entry\" to loss of thermal contrast. SCU disputes AARO's reconstruction. The key primary items, the video and FAA radar data, are public, so both analyses can be checked.","rec":["AARO (25-P-0553), pp.1–7: \"AARO assesses with high confidence that the objects did not exhibit anomalous behavior or transmedium capabilities … with moderate confidence that the objects were a pair of sky lanterns.\" Its STK reconstruction puts the objects at about 656 ft, moving about 8 mph in a straight line, consistent with a recorded 9.8 mph east-northeast wind. It says they stayed over land. The apparent \"split\" is two objects, which separate visibly at 00:29.56, 00:40.76 and 00:47.00. Pixel analysis gives a size under 1 m. AARO says the objects did not pass behind the utility pole. The apparent vanishing into the sea is \"thermal crossover\" or lack of contrast against the ocean, plus increasing range and scattered cloud at 3,000 ft. AARO \"confirmed with local hospitality industry vendors\" that hotels commonly release sky lanterns. It acknowledges that \"the video's poor quality reduces AARO's confidence in categorically identifying the objects.\" It also records two partner assessments it rejected: marine birds, with the partner estimating 35–130 mph at 300–900 ft, and mylar balloons.","Date discrepancy: AARO dates the event \"April 26, 2013\" and the recording \"9:22 p.m. local time\". SCU (p.1, App. E) and the on-screen UTC times put it at 21:20–21:22 local on 25 April, which is 01:22Z on 26 April. AARO appears to mix the UTC date with local time. Its thermal-crossover argument rests on sunset at 19:48 local and the time since sunset (about 1.5 h), and that holds on either date.","SCU, from FAA radar data: the DHC-8's radar track matches the video telemetry, which confirms the video's authenticity.

It recovered about 850 small spherules. The team says a subset (\"BeLaU\", rich in beryllium, lanthanum and uranium) has a composition unlike any known Solar System material, and links them to IM1. Every link in that chain has been challenged in print:\n\n- the speed may be overestimated (Brown & Borovička, ApJ 2023);\n\n- the seismic signal used to place the fireball was probably a truck (Fernando et al., GJI 2024);\n\n- the spherules match coal ash (Gallardo, RNAAS 2023);\n\n- the spherules are terrestrial microtektites (Desch 2024, preprint).\n\nThe Loeb group has replied in RNAAS and Chemical Geology. A third Chemical Geology paper, by an independent team, re-evaluates the spherules' origin.","rec":["The CNEOS entry gives, as queried today: 2014-01-08 17:05:33 UTC, 1.2°S 147.1°E, altitude 18.7 km, speed 44.8 km/s, impact energy 0.13 kt — firsthand (official catalogue) — NASA/JPL CNEOS.

A lieutenant and a security police officer followed it by vehicle and watched it through binoculars. Another crew tracked it for 3-5 minutes on a CROWS weapon-station camera. It was described as silent, with no visible propulsion, about 4 ft tall and 2 ft wide, \"diamond\" shaped and rounder at the top. It left the site to the north and the officers lost it near County Road G and FM 1342. Radar-tower video went to Sandia National Laboratories for enhancement, and all the evidence was turned over to the FBI. The plant's own incident report, released by DOE, is the primary record.

A U.S. Navy P-8A was monitoring \"KCTG\" activity in the eastern Mediterranean. At 1310Z on 18 November 2016 its EO/IR sensor saw an object rise from an unknown origin, about 55 NM northwest of Latakia. The crew treated it as a possible missile launch. The object travelled at about 500 knots on a southeasterly heading in what looked like sea-skim mode, outbound from the KCTG. Visual contact was lost at 1312Z, about 40 NM northwest of Latakia, after the object passed between the Russian ship INGUL and an unidentified vessel. The mission commander called the encounter safe, and the task group assessed it as \"standard activity consistent with\" the KCTG. In other words, the slide treats it as probably a Russian missile, not as anything anomalous. war.gov nonetheless released it under the UAP programme.\n\n*Method note: war.gov blocks this server. The slide was read from the original PDF served by the ufotransparency.com mirror. It is a single image with a poor OCR layer (which, for example, misreads \"55 nm\" as \"86 nm\"), so quotations were read from the page image. The slide calls the group \"KCTG\". The map labels Russian ships, and the faint label \"(RUS) KUZNETSOV CV-063\" can be made out.

NASA describes it as up to about 400 m long, possibly ten times longer than wide and slightly red, with a brightness that changed by a factor of ten as it spun. It showed no visible coma. In June 2018, Micheli et al. (Nature) reported a non-gravitational acceleration at 30σ, falling off roughly as r^-2 (or r^-1) with distance from the Sun. They proposed cometary outgassing as the cause, but called that hypothesis \"tentative\" because no gas or dust was seen. This anomaly started a long debate:\n\n- Bialy & Loeb (2018) asked whether sunlight pressure on a very thin sheet, like a light sail, could explain it.\n\n- Loeb (2022) argued that an artificial origin \"must be considered\".\n\n- Others proposed natural bodies: hydrogen ice, nitrogen-ice fragments, hydrogen released from irradiated water ice, and fragmentation models.

Late on the night of 24 August 2020, during routine operations in the North Arabian Sea, the crew saw three possible small unidentified air contacts. None produced an electronic-support, radar or IFF track. The first was on a westerly heading and went behind a cloud. Two more then appeared due east. All three seemed to keep their relative course, speed and altitude. The form ticks \"Round\" and \"Wings/Airframe\" for shape. No explanation is given. A PURSUE video from Release 02, DOW-UAP-PR090, carries the same date (\"24 AUG 2020 ... Observes UAP\"), but nothing in the release links the two.

caught a solid white object passing through the field of view at 20:40Z. They lost it briefly, reacquired it, and followed it as it made \"erratic moments\" above the water, reaching 4x zoom before poor track placement lost it. The writer notes that the operator kept moving the sensor, which is why the waves sometimes appear and sometimes do not. The form records one round contact at 20,000 ft, moving, with an intermittent trackfile. DOW-UAP-PR36 is a byte-identical copy of the form. The mirror's page for PR36 also summarises a video timeline (a blue reticle at 02:10 that fails to lock; track lost at 02:15-02:17), but no video file is in this set. No explanation is offered.\n\n*Method note: war.gov blocks this server. The form was read from the original PDF served by the ufotransparency.com mirror. It is a scanned Range Fouler form with a poor OCR text layer, so the quotations were read from the page image.

Range Fouler Debrief about a dark, maroonish object about 12-15 ft tall seen at dusk over the Atlantic in 2020. In the WSO's words it \"appeared as a large, somewhat deformed balloon\". The crew then returned to the ship and landed without incident. U.S. Northern Command submitted 32 seconds of infrared video to AARO, released as DOW-UAP-PR116. Per its official description, the debrief says the object travelled with the wind and did not maneuver. Of the four incidents in this batch, this one comes closest to a stated prosaic reading, but the file stops short of saying it was a balloon.\n\nMethod note: war.gov blocks this server.

They say they saw a large, stationary, off-white object with an irregular panelled surface hovering over a saddle of Cheyenne Mountain, about 6 miles west, for between 30 seconds and a few minutes. It then vanished while they looked away, or \"cloaked\". Each man later drew it independently. One witness, former Army intelligence officer Caison Best, reported the sighting to AARO and later to Ryan Graves's Americans for Safe Aerospace (ASA). The FBI interviewed him in June/July 2024 for a forensic sketch, and in March 2025 the FBI interviewed a witness (identity redacted) by Microsoft Teams. On 12 June 2026 the Department of War's PURSUE Release 03 published four files:\n\n- two FBI interview records;\n\n- an FBI digital rendering;\n\n- an intelligence-community analysis prepared for AARO. It assessed, with low confidence, that the object was \"possibly backscattering of sunlight\" off snow onto low cloud, and found \"no anomalous data\".\n\nThe primary trail is good for a ground sighting: government interview records and an official analysis exist. But the witness accounts disagree on time of day and on cloud cover, and the analysis rests on weather reports that contradict the witnesses.","rec":["FD-302, March 2025 (D001), p.1–2: The sighting was \"on a workday in early February 2022, at approximately 1:00 or 2:00PM\" near Fort Carson. He \"and four other persons from his unit\" saw an object \"hovering just over Cheyanne mountain, in a low point or 'saddle'\". It was \"matte white, or off-white … non-metallic … oval shaped … 'bean-shaped'\", \"completely motionless\", with no sound. It was seen for about 3–5 minutes and was \"covered in intersecting lines or ridges which formed an abstract polygon pattern\". It was about \"the size of a pool cue at arms-length\". No one had a phone. When they looked back after deciding to fetch one, \"the object had vanished\". Each of them \"independently drew what they remembered\", and the drawings were \"consistent\". He believed a colleague (redacted) \"made an official report to the army\". He \"was contacted by AARO in early 2024 … provided a response, but … was never interviewed by AARO or anyone else.\"","FD-1057, July 2024 (D002), p.2: Time 11:25 am. The witness was \"a former U.S. Army intelligence officer\" with four others from his unit. There was a \"blue bird\" sky with no clouds, at about 50°F. The object was \"'potato' shaped with distinct edges … creamy/whitish opalescent … somewhat translucent with a slight shimmer\". It was made up of \"articulating fish scales or panels that were non-symmetrical, non-overlapping, and irregular shaped … each panel on the object shifted in slow waves\". \"After approximately two minutes, the object vanished … the object 'cloaked' in the space of time it took to turn a head and there was no shadow.\"","IC analysis (ICA-UAP-D001), pp.3–4: The object was \"observed by five U.S. Army service members at Fort Carson, Colorado at 0935 MNT on 15 February 2022, was possibly backscattering of sunlight\". The analysis has \"low confidence … based on uncertainty in the field of view of each witness, amount of snow cover, and exact elevation and amount of cloud cover. No anomalous data or characteristics were recorded or assessed, and the event did not represent an unknown adversarial capability.\" Witness summary: about 6 miles west, for 30–180 s, \"roughly the size of a large jet … angular, non-symmetrical potato made of uneven panels … stationary about 300-500 feet above Cheyanne Mountain while slowly changing shape.\" \"Although witnesses reported clear, blue skies, multiple weather reports, including those from AFWA and Weather Underground, indicated … partly to mostly cloudy\" skies. Snow depth on the mountain was about 6–12 in. \"No aircraft or balloons were noted active in or around Cheyenne Mountain during the time.\"","Discrepancies in the official record itself: the time is given as 09:35 MNT (ICA), 11:25 (FD-1057), and 13:00–14:00 (FD-302). The date is 15 Feb (ICA) or \"early February\" (FD-302). The duration ranges from 30 s to 5 min.

Its two pilots were Mark Hulsey, a former U.S. Navy F/A-18 pilot, and a second pilot identified only as \"Keith\". They reported 4–7 luminous objects, which they put roughly 5,000–10,000 ft above them, \"going around in circles\". They asked Los Angeles Center what they were. LA Center did not know and saw no primary targets. By the pilots' and researchers' accounts, an American Airlines flight and other airliners also reported the lights. Hulsey filmed the lights on an iPhone and reported to MUFON (case 124552) and to researcher Ben Hansen, who published the case in October 2022. Hansen called the reports \"racetrack UAPs\", since similar circling lights were reported by other crews in August–October 2022. An ATC transcript said to come from a FOIA request was published by The Debrief.

He said that in October 2023, at about 10:50 PM, he and his wife were sitting on their back porch in Colorado Springs when a triangle passed low over the house from the northeast and moved off to the southwest. He put it possibly as low as 300 ft and about the size of a large SUV. It looked hazy, as if seen through mist or water, with rounded corners and a band of silverish-blue light along its trailing edge. It was completely silent and visible for about four seconds. Just before it vanished, its left side banked up almost vertically without changing course. His wife also saw it and recalled a dark seam around its edge. The FBI made a digital rendering (FBI-UAP-D027) for the PURSUE release. This is a separate event from the \"large triangle with red lights\" reported in Colorado Springs the same month (colorado-springs-red-light-triangle-2023).

It appeared only on the short-wave infrared (SWIR) camera, and the event lasted about two minutes. The crew assessed it as benign and solid, holding a steady path while rising and falling in altitude. The accompanying video, DOW-UAP-PR28, is 1 min 5 s of split electro-optical/SWIR footage. The official description says it shows an inverted-teardrop contrast with a vertical trailing mass, which is lost when the operator switches to the visible spectrum.

These are sheets of carbon one atom thick, rolled into seamless tubes about a nanometre across, a hundred thousand times thinner than a hair. The team checked the same spots with several kinds of microscope and spectrometer, and the tubes sat in tiny soil fragments clustered around micrometeorite impact scars. Far-side carbon showed more defects than the near-side carbon from Chang'e-5. *On the record: peer-reviewed, Nano Letters, 2026.*\n\n### Why this is extraordinary\nSingle-walled nanotubes are one of the hardest things human industry makes. They were first made in 1993, at NEC and IBM, two years after the multi-walled kind. Every route since needs the same narrow recipe:\n- **A carbon gas to grow from**, such as methane, carbon monoxide or vaporised graphite.\n- **Metal catalyst particles of exactly the right size**, iron, cobalt or nickel about one to two nanometres wide. The particle sets the tube's width; too big and you get multi-walled tubes or soot.\n- **Steady high heat**, roughly 600 to 1,200 °C in a furnace (or an electric arc or laser), held long enough for the tube to grow.\n- **A sealed, oxygen-free chamber.** Without control, you get soot, not tubes.\n\nNature has never been shown to follow that recipe. Multi-walled nanotubes, the cruder kind, have turned up on Earth in a 10,000-year-old Greenland ice core, in combustion soot and in an oil-well deposit. Single-walled ones had never been found anywhere in nature, on Earth, in meteorites or in space. The authors say so themselves: these materials were \"assumed to require artificial preparation.\"\n\nThe lunar surface looks like the worst place to try. It has no air, so there is no gas for a tube to grow from. Its soil holds only about a hundred parts per million of carbon, most of it single atoms implanted by the solar wind. And the heat it gets from an impact lasts a fraction of a second, not the minutes a furnace runs.\n\n### The explanation on offer\nThe team proposes that micrometeorite strikes flash-vaporised carbon from the solar wind and from meteorites, that the vapour cooled within moments, and that tiny iron grains in the soil caught the carbon and threaded it into tubes. They add early volcanism and solar-wind irradiation as helpers. Lunar soil does contain plenty of nano-sized iron made by space weathering, which is what makes the idea plausible.\n\nBut it is a proposal. Nothing published shows anyone reproducing it: no lab has fired a micrometeorite into simulated lunar soil and made a single-walled tube. The abstract states the tubes \"were formed through\" this process as a finding, without an experiment behind it. **Natural cause proposed, not demonstrated.**\n\n### The \"what if\"\nPhysicist Max Derakhshani made this point on Ross Coulthart's Reality Check days after the announcement. The team \"simply asserts without evidence that they formed naturally… but they never actually attempt to establish it with actual experimental tests.\" He sets out two possibilities. Either the tubes got into the sample on Earth, which would make it no discovery at all. Or they really were in the far-side soil, and then \"the hypothesis that this is a technosignature of some kind by an ET civilization has to be taken seriously.\"\n\nThe second reading has a logic to it. A single-walled nanotube is exactly what a technical civilisation makes: we prize them for super-strong composites, electronics and space-elevator tethers. A material that, until this paper, only a factory had ever produced has turned up in the soil of the hemisphere Earth never sees. That is also where Carl Sagan's 1963 NASA-funded paper suggested a visitors' base would be best placed. Battered, defect-rich tubes in impact-worn grains are what manufactured material left lying for a very long time would look like. *Speculation, but not ruled out by anything on the record.*\n\n### What would settle it\n- A lab reproducing single-walled tubes by impact on iron-bearing simulated lunar soil.\n- Carbon isotope ratios in the tubes. Solar-wind carbon has its own signature, distinct from Earth's, so this separates lunar origin from Earth contamination.\n- The same tubes in other far-side or near-side samples (Apollo, Chang'e-5), or their absence.","ed":{"v":"pass","n":"Named or documented sources; a serious reader would weigh it.","d":"2026-10-26"},"pl":{"rating":4,"score":12,"note":"A peer-reviewed study of returned Chang'e-6 soil found the nanotubes; the natural route has not been reproduced.","assessed":"2026-10-23","factors":[{"key":"access","s":2,"note":"Returned samples."},{"key":"no_gain","s":2,"note":"Science."},{"key":"restraint","s":2,"note":"Authors propose natural cause."},{"key":"character","s":2,"note":"Peer-reviewed."},{"key":"checkable","s":2,"note":"Published."},{"key":"traces","s":2,"note":"Physical samples."}]},"ld":1,"gal":[["im-lunar-nanotubes.jpg","Chang'e-6 far-side soil under a stereomicroscope","Chunlai Li, Hao Hu, Meng-Fei Yang et al.

Stephen Lovekin, a White House Army Signal Agency technician in 1959-61, told the Disclosure Project he was shown a metal piece from the 1947 crash and that Eisenhower \"lost control\" of the UFO matter to corporations.

And a public that has to be told one day gets prepared slowly: [[case/nyt2017|the Times story]], [[case/videos2020|the Navy videos]], the hearings, and now [[case/pursue|PURSUE]]. Even that is metered. In 2026 the White House asked DIA for [[case/aawsap|the AAWSAP reports]] and was told they couldn't be found, though [[document/aaro-hrr-vol1-2024|AARO's own 2024 history]] had placed them in DIA's archives. Weeks later DIA [[person/robert-bigelow|wrote to Bigelow]] that it holds the material and intends to redact and release it.

Japan meters it the same way: since a 2020 directive its forces must record unidentified objects, yet in 2023 the Defense Ministry [[document/japan-diet-uap-2014-2024|told the Diet]] it would not say whether it holds any such records, because that would reveal what it can collect, and that it shares them with Washington. Germany's government, which [[document/bundestag-ufo-paper-trail-2008-2023|said in 2008 it held no UFO files]] although its intelligence service had opened [[case/puttgarden-bnd-1986|one in 1986]], [[document/bt-drs-21-8662|told the Bundestag in October 2026]] that it has no knowledge of UAP and would not detail what it exchanges with allies, while it keeps even its count of unidentified drones over German military sites too secret for the Bundestag's own classified registry. Spain opened its Air Force files up to the mid-1990s, but [[document/spain-ufo-files-classified|every file since is still marked confidential]] and the transparency council upheld the refusal in 2024; Mexico's Congress held two hearings in 2023 and drafted a bill that no UAP information should ever be classified, then let it lapse in 2024."}]},{"h":"They use the water","k":"1964 to 2025","p":[{"t":"The [[case/tictac|Tic Tac]] hovered over churning water before it shot away.

At Volkel, the Dutch F-35 base that stores American nuclear bombs, guards opened fire on objects in November 2025, and the defence minister told parliament their origin is still unknown; the files on it were withheld in full for state security. It goes on: in October 2026, during a naval exercise, [[case/toulon-typhon-drones-2026|unidentified drones flew over France's Toulon naval base]] for four nights; jamming failed and a prosecutor opened an inquiry. In India, [[case/imphal-airport-2023|a white object hung over the Imphal airport tower]] for an hour and a half in November 2023; the airport closed, flights were diverted, the Air Force activated its air defence and sent two Rafales, which found nothing, and the government confirmed it all in parliament. Beside Lakenheath, where American nuclear bombs were reportedly flown in during 2025, a plane spotter watched a dark object bigger than his van float silently over the base for hours while the F-15s circled far above, and heard a pilot on a scanner say 'We're chasing the UAP'. Two years on, Britain has shown no image, track, operator or wreck; a think tank calls a Russian campaign 'highly likely' but concedes the proof 'isn't yet public'. Denmark blamed Russia within days, yet nine months later its police could not even confirm the objects over Copenhagen were drones, and the airport says its own cameras recorded them but will not release the footage. When an MEP asked whether such incursions had reached nuclear sites, [[document/ep-p-003904-2025|the EU Council answered]] that 'it is not for the Council to produce findings'. In October 2026 Israel's lookouts and Air Force tracked [[case/galilee-aramshe-2026|an object crossing from Lebanon into the Western Galilee]], sirens sounded, the army searched seventeen border communities through the night and never found it; it settled on 'most likely a balloon-like object' but says it cannot determine what it was. [[document/pla-unidentified-air-conditions-2019|China's air force wrote in 2019]] that the 'frequent occurrence of unidentified air conditions in recent years' poses 'severe challenges to air defence', and built an AI system to track them; in February 2023 a Qingdao bureau warned fishing boats that [[case/rizhao-shijiazhuang-2023|an unidentified object off Rizhao]], near a navy submarine base, was 'being prepared to be shot down', and told them to recover any debris. Italy's air-safety agency logged in 2023 [[case/ansv-drones-2023|a blue object]] 'probably military' crossing under an airliner's wing at 38,000 feet, and two more at 34,000 feet that no radar showed.

Congressman [[person/eric-burlison|Eric Burlison]], briefed on it, says three or four dozen orbs came, with ODNI, CIA, FBI and Defense intelligence people on site, at a western base where they keep returning during certain activity on the range; the officials were there, he says, the way a hunter waits for deer.
