| Ray Fowler: March 5, 1967; Minot AFB, North Dakota ADC radar tracked an unidentified target descending over the Minuteman ICBM missile silos of the 91st Strategic Missile Wing. Base security teams saw a metallic, disc-shaped object ringed with bright flashing lights moving slowly, maneuvering, then stopping and hovering about 500 ft above ground. Object circled directly over the launch control facility. F-106 fighters were scrambled but at that moment object climbed straight up and disappeared at high speed. Richard Hall:
On March 5, 1967, Air Defense Command radar tracked
an unidentified target descending over the Minuteman
missile silos of the 91st Strategic Missile Wing at
Minot AFB, ND. Base security teams quickly converged on
the area and saw a metallic, disc-shaped craft ringed
with bright, flashing lights moving slowly. The disc
stopped and hovered about 500 feet (150 meters) off the
ground, as security police held their fire and watched
in awe. Suddenly the object began moving again and
circled directly over the launch control facility. F-106
fighter-interceptors were standing by on the flight
line, waiting impatiently for an order from NORAD to
scramble. When the order was not fortthcoming, base
operations decided on their own to scramble the
interceptors. At that moment the UFO climbed straight up
and streaked away at incredible speed.
