Person

Mario Woods

Former Air Force security airman in Ellsworth's 68th Missile Squadron area. He says that in November 1977, answering an alarm at launch facility November-5 with Michael Johnson, he saw a huge glowing object and small beings, lost about five hours and woke behind a reservoir dam near Newell; a flight surgeon found burns and took a skin sample. He says Richard Doty was at his debrief, and kept the beings to himself at the time to protect his nuclear clearance. After the Air Force he worked for the Department of Energy at Oak Ridge and Los Alamos with a Q clearance. As a boy in 1961 he saw saucers over a church in Port Arthur, Texas. Jesse Michels' team reunited him with Johnson in 2026. He was reported to have died on 16 October 2026 (UFO Feed; not independently confirmed).
