UFO Chronology

On. December 17, 1969, Secretary of the Air Force
Robert C. Seamans, Jr., announced the termination of the
two decades of operations of the highly visible AF
investigation of UFO's, Project Blue Book. This was only
the announcement date, not the actual termination date,
but the AF release was worded in such a way as to
suggest immediate termination of BB. In fact BB did
not terminate until Jan. 30, 1970, at 3:30 p.m. EST, as
NICAP found out and published in the May 1970 UFO
Investigator (p. 3a).
In the last year of its official existence, Blue Book
received 146 UFO reports of which only one received the
unidentified classification. For the 22 years that
the Air Force investigated UFO's it received nearly
15,000 reports of which some 587 were classified as
unidentified. (Air Force press releases listed the total
number of 701 unidentified in the statistical summaries
of yearly totals. But today only about 587 are
listed by UFO sighting date and location in the
declassified monthly indexes.) Due to diligent
research, the number of "unknowns" has doubled from that
701 figure to more than 1,600 in Brad Sparks' revised
catalog, and may reach as high as possibly 3,000 to
5,000, based on estimates of the late Dr. James McDonald
and Sparks.
Towards the end the BB files received fewer and fewer
military cases. The Air Force's position was that
UFO's were no longer seen by the military simply because
they were trained observers who cannot be fooled by such
things. Historically, however, that was not true
and did not explain why so many military observers in
the past saw and even instrument-tracked UFO's. In
reality, the trend in the BB files reflected the changes
in UFO reporting channels. The Air Force had
started shifting military reporting of UFO's into
operational reporting channels such as those set up
under AF Manual 55-11 of 1965 (now AF Instruction
10-206), and many classified regulations, which bypassed
BB.
All seemed dead on the UFO front, but major events were just a few years away. The UFO debate was rapidly dying out in 1969 in the wake of the Condon Report and the closure of BB. NICAP and APRO catastrophically lost members, down from roughly 14,000 for NICAP and 8,000 for APRO to just a few thousand.

"There is no conclusive evidence about 'flying
saucers.' Most men of science,
therefore, have expressed either disdain or
disinterest in the subject. The handful
of bona fide scientists who did want to
speculate on UFOs found themselves in the
uncomfortable company of pseudo scientists,
commercial cultists, pulp booksellers and
crackpots. Last December's issue of the
respected Journal of Aeronautics and
Astronautics changed all that."

was released later. The conclusions of the
Colorado University UFO project were fully
negative, as NICAP predicted.

Jan. 17, 1969; Crittendon, VA (BBU 12607) 3:25 AM. A 30 Year old Test Facility Mechanic (civilian) – National Aeronautics and Space Administrator working at NASA Langley Field, Virginia witnessed a UFO from his bedroom window (17/0824Z). The sighting lasted 2 minutes. The sky was clear except for haze effect when looking at lights at night. The Observer was awakened by a sound similar to the hum of an electric motor or a transformer that was in the process of going bad. Upon looking out the bedroom window the observed sighted several amber lights that were arranged in an elliptical fashion. (One was blinking). It appeared to have a slow forward up and down motion except when it made a left banking turn. COMMENTS: The most likely stimulus was a helicopter with an unusual lighting system, However, a check of the 4 airports in the areas revealed that 3 definitely did not have any helo activity in the area and the other had destroyed flight records for that date and was therefore unable to say if any helicopter activity originated from their airfield that night. It is also possible that a light aircraft such as an aerial advertiser, the Goodyear blimp, or an aircraft doing infra-red photography many have been the stimulus for the sightings. However, because it has not been definitely established tht an Aircraft of this type was in the area, The sighting is being carried as unidentified. Cigar – A cigar would not have the same proportion unless it were a stubby or blunt cigar one third as wide as it was long, The ends were half round instead of kind of pointed as a cigar would be. It was very much larger than a cigar and it was lighted all around the bottom with an incandescent-amber looking type of lighting with one of these blinking. These lights were glowing through glass or some semitransparent material. Speed: 30 mph. Distance: 100 feet. Sound: Like that of an Electrical Transformer or motor. (U.S. Air Force Project Blue Book File, NARA T1206, Roll 0082, Crittenden, Virginia, January 1969; retrieved at fold3, John Chace “Unidentified”) Jan. 25, 1969; Plattville, IL 12:30 & 1:00 AM. (See drawing link above) A
couple was driving home. She had picked her
husband up after he had injured himself on a
construction project and he was asleep in the
front seat. She saw a bright light ahead of her
and approaching. As it neared, it was revealed to
be like a giant "ice-cream cone" traveling round
end first. They were very near home, on the last
roadway in fact. The object came to a halt over
their landlord's house nearby. It then hovered at
treetop level and reoriented itself with the point
of the cone upwards. The thing was tremendous,
perhaps between two and three stories high. It had
a surface consisting of "paneling" each slab of
which was the same bright white illumination. At
the "bottom" [around the circular end of the
cone], was a wide strip of multicolored lights,
sparkling like jewels. The bottom "flat" area was
mainly open and when the object tipped, it
revealed a large dull light within and walls the
color of iron ore. At one point, a panel on the
surface swung out and closed again without
anything else noticeably happening. All this of
course was bizarre and mystifying but the worst
was yet to come. The car engine died and the
lights went out. The car rolled to a stop. The
wife also noticed that all the outdoor farm
security lights were out as well. And then...the
front end of the car began to rise off the ground!
"I thought: it"s going to pull us up inside it !"
She frantically tried to restart the car, shouting
as she did so. This woke up her husband to what
was probably the strangest situation he ever had
to rapidly adjust to. [the car was, by the way, a
Chrysler Imperial; no lightweight]. He was nearly
blinded by the brilliance of the object but
recovered to try to help his panicking
wife--himself ineffectively trying to restart the
car. Both of them then felt the car lowering,
ending in a final quite noticeable "bump" as the
front end hit the road. The object rose and flew
away to their northwest [they had been facing
north]. The car was able to be restarted, and the
farm security lights came back on. The couple
drove the short distance to their landlords' home
and told the story. The lady of the house said
that she had seen a very bright flash of light
that illuminated the interior of her house;
however, none of the lights in her home were
affected. To those who may be interested, a
diagram of the object, "cleaned up" from the
witness' drawing, has been attempted by this
reporter (Michael Swords) and is appended to this
case. Plattville stands as one of the best
"mass-displacement" cases in the literature [due
to multiple credible witnesses and some degree of
corroberation] and is one of a handful of
incidents which make researchers wonder if some
sort of control or unexpected counteraction of
gravity is possible with these objects. [Mike

conclusion that there are too many unexplained

19, 1969: 14 miles south of Norseman, Western
Australia, Australia
At
an unknown time, a 43 year-old, company
representative was driving alone when he saw
what appeared to be another car's headlights.
Cresting a rise in the road, he then saw a
glowing blue-white light, 'hovering' at
tree-top height. The light then followed the
vehicle, as he accelerated to 80 miles per
hour. After two minutes he stopped the car and
got out. The object then veered away. The
witness, a Mr Rose, had left the car door
open, and the car was filled with leaves and
dust, when the object sped away. The
Department of Civil Aviation advised that
there were no known aircraft in the area at
the time.

March 4, 1969; Atlanta/ Elmer, MO 6:40 AM.
William Overstreet, a rural postal carrier,
was rounding a curve in his truck. About 1/2
mile to his right there was a large reddish
colored object traveling 50 feet above the
ground. He judged it as 100 feet in
diameter. It hesitated briefly, and then
made for his vehicle. It took up position in
the air over the road, traveling in his same
direction slowly. As he closed the distance,
a strong white light came from the bottom of
the disk and shown on the road. This beam
was the full diameter of the object at the
top but narrowed to an 8-foot diameter spot
as it hit the street. * This beam was
extremely hot, and it affected the driver.
Also, when the beam shot down, the whole
object changed colors. It became bright blue
with a red aura about it. There was also a
yellow band around it which gave the
impression of small racing lights as if the
thing were turning. The great brightness
made it difficult to see any details, if
there were any. His radio was breaking up
though not completely out. But when he got
right to the edge of the light beam, the
radio did quit, and the truck's motor did
also. His vehicle then rolled slowly forward
as the object moved a small bit further
along. Once away from the beam, the radio
started again and he was able to restart the
truck. The object gradually moved away, once
flashing mightily as it crossed a power
line. It had changed back to red, as it
cruised along in synchronization with the
contours of the ground and went out of
sight. He said: " I had never believed in
them too much until I saw this. Now I know
that there is something to these UFOs. I
don't know why it was there or where it was
going. Neither do I know what it was after I
saw it, but I don't care about being that
close to another one." (Mike Swords;

The event occurred while the "British Grenadier" was sailing through the Gulf of Mexico. The UFO (like an arrowhead) appeared directly above the ship at exactly noon on the first day. It just seemed to appear as nobody saw it arrive and it remained above the ship for the next 3 days. E-M effects

7:38 P.M. Bright fireball meteor traveling south-southeast to north-northwest, leaving long trail, sparks.
Reviewed by Robert M. L. Baker Jr., this
half-million-dollar, 965-page report (Condon
Report) probably represents the ultimate case
against the UFO "cult" in fact, it was to be the
last scientific word on that controversial
subject. But, paradoxically, the report contains
some evidence suggesting that the UFO phenomenon
should be studied further. (Scientific Research,
April 14, 1969, p. 41) (CUFON)
April 14, 1969; Hill City, KS Multicolored object came within 100', hovered. (Ulysses, Kans., News, April 24, 1969; CUFOS report, dated as April 19 [E] car) April 23, 1969; Silver Spring, MD Dogs, cats and horses reacted to object. May 11, 1969; Pembroke, Ontario, Canada 2:00 AM. Chapeau/Ile aux Allumettes, Quebec
[there is some confusion about the location of
this event, and it is sometimes labelled for the
town across the river, Pembroke, Ontario]. The
dog was making a howling racket. The husband and
wife were awakened and saw about 600 feet away
in their farm field a bright light source. The
man went outside noting that the source was so
intense that it was easily casting shadows. The
thing was hovering, apparently, 15 feet or less
above the ground. The light switched off, but he
could still hear a purring sound. This purring
seemed to recede into the distance and all was
back to normal. Before the switch-off the
husband thought he could resolve the structure
of the object into a dome-shaped object with a
flat bottom. The following day, the man went out
to the location where he judged the disk to have
been and found "three circular depressions,
equally spaced to form a triangle with a
rectangular depression one to two inches in
depth near the midpoint of the base of the
triangle". A guess to explain this would be
three "landing legs" and a hatchway which
extended out of the object to press into the
earth. Now, at this point it must be admitted
that the various references describing this case
don't agree. What has just been described was
the most conservative of them [by J.Allen
Hynek], but it is probably not the most
accurate. Landing trace expert, Ted Phillips,
says that yes such a trace was there but it was
only one of four such markings. Phillips
describes the circles as 32ft, 28ft, a 28 1/2ft
half-circle, and a 9ft circle. The first was
most like Hynek's with a true external ring [2ft
6in wide] of depressed grass and the three
"pod-marks" arranged in the center grass. The
second was similar, with again three internal
marks in a perfect triangle. The half-ring had a
rockpile placed at the centerpoint. The small
circle was entirely of depressed grass. As
Phillips is a trace specialist, this is probably
fairly accurate and everyone else is dealing
with second-hand newsprint. One element of the
newsprint may have been true, however, in that
some burning was allegedly evident. This caused
samples to be taken and sent to the Ontario
Department of Lands and Forests for testing.
This apparently did happen but the report came
back that nothing unusual was found. As a
post-script to the case, less than a month
later, and less than 15 miles away [at
Meath,Ontario] another large [33ft] annular ring
trace was found that had occurred overnight. In
this case the affected ground would not grow
plants for three years. [Mike Swords;

May 31, 1969; Memphis, TN C1 reported by Baird. No details available. (MUFON Skylook 8, 6) June 5, 1969; St. Louis, MO 4:00 p.m. This radar/visual was "written off" as a meteor and observed by three air crews. Four dart-shaped objects witnessed by American Airlines Flight 112, a 707 heading east at 39,000 feet, a United Airlines flight eight miles to the rear at 37,000 feet, and a National Guard jet four miles further at 41,000 feet. Objects were tracked on FAA radar at St. Louis. The pilot of the National Guard plane later claimed the UFO formation had approached his craft almost "directly ahead" before altering its course abruptly and ascending quickly at the last moment. Two radar paints confirmed. (NICAP UFOI Feb 1972)

E-M effects on car, static electricity; bluish object shaped like inverted mushroom hovered overhead. Took off at high speed (Ref. 1, Section IV). July 13, 1969; Van Horne, IA 11:00 PM. (See link above for photos of crop circle). A high school girl was having her cousin [a beautician] over for a visit and a sleep-over. The two young women were still up when they heard a sound outside. Looking out their window, they saw an object above the field across the road. It was less than a mile away. The thing appeared to be a gray metallic disk, non-luminous, but with a orange-red band of light around the circumference. This light enabled the girls to see the shape clearly: like "a shallow inverted bowl with a curved bottom". The object was "clean" [no protrusions nor individual lights]. The object came directly over the farmhouse, its vibrations rattling the bedroom windows. [The parents were asleep already and did not awaken]. The girls felt that the disk was "the size of an automobile" and was rotating counter-clockwise as it rose and sailed away. The next morning they told the one girl's parents what had happened but were not believed. That morning however, the father was out walking the fields and came across a forty foot diameter circle of dried out soybean crop, which had not previously been there. This area was not only a "perfect" circle but in the proper location for the sighting of the UFO. The appearance of the affected crop was "all of the leaves of each plant were hanging wilted from the stalks" as if, the UFO field researcher hypothesized, "they had been subjected to intense heat". The spot was apparently the result of a "near-landing" rather than an actual touch-down, as the plants were not broken off nor crushed. A fine aerial photo of this circle has been made and is attached to this report. The UFO community was on the scene relatively early, with the APRO investigator taking the photos and soil samples, and Walt Andrus of MUFON/APRO interviewing the daughter [the only early interview of the cousin was by news persons]. As was almost universally the case APRO dropped the ball on the analysis of the samples and reported only that the plants were dry, shriveled, and not radioactive. Dr. J. Allen Hynek even visited the site and was later quoted: "I still don't know what the hell this thing is all about... It looked as though a big heater had been held six feet above the ground". Neighbors of the family contributed the remarks that their dogs were making a racket that evening. Van Horne stands as one of the best "landing effects" cases on record. This is because it has multiple witnesses, an immediate corroberation of the trace by someone who knew exactly the state of his farm fields, no desire for publicity [in fact a parent who blocked almost all of it], no motivation [in fact, a loss of valuable crop], multiple, early-on-scene investigators with good track records for straight-shooting, and a fairly large and mysterious effect. On some scales of rating "trace" cases, this might be #1. [Mike Swords; References: a). APRO UFO Report Form (case field investigation), undated but c.

can we logically reject this theory when we accept
theories of rotating neutron stars to explain
pulsars? Of course, a better theory might be
devised if more data were collected and the
present data examined in broader terms."

. Oct. 24, 1969; Chilian Navy, Chile 12:43 a.m. Chilean Navy destroyer radar detected UFO. The radar officer reported a long-range flying contact. A minute later the "contact" was at 400 miles. Because of the "object's" speed, the operator suspected a malfunction in his equipment. In the next minute the contact was approximately 150 miles away closing from 331 degrees of true north. But the operator and officer in charge during the late night duty (an officer of second-class rank) speculated that the contact was a "plane flying southeast" --but at 213 miles in a minute: 12,780 mph!

Circular object with lights hovering over airport sped away making high, whining sound when security guard shone spotlight on it (Ref. 1, Section VI). Nov. 30, 1969; Quincy, IL
5:30 PM. A family was driving between Plainville and Payson, Illinois, just SE of Quincy. They noticed a flashing red-colored object to their right, which then began to pace the car at a distance of about 200 yards. At a distance, the thing looked like a circle of lights, but as it came nearer it seemed that the entire object was glowing like neon red. The wife had the best view of it at that time and said it resembled an equilateral triangle with rounded sides. After two minutes of this pacing, the object made a right-angle turn and rushed directly overhead. The thing was larger than small airplanes but in that general size range. Despite its proximity, it made no sound. So far, this is "just" a good old fashioned close encounter of the first kind, but....[lets quote directly from the field report]: "When the object was directly over their automobile, their car seemed to rise from the paved highway about ten inches and then settle back to the paving with only a noticeable bump. [The driver] thought it was conceivable that it might have been less than ten inches, but the car raised up as if there were a suction or a force acting upon it. There was no sound of rushing air and the automobile did not sway either right or left, but remained directly in the right lane of traffic." The investigator returned to the site and drove the highway several times: there were no bumps in the road of any kind. After the car returned to the street, the father and the son saw the object make another very sharp turn a disappear behind a grove of trees. This appears to be a "mass-displacement" case, one of the rarest of the UFO types. To have two of these in one year in the same general area of the country [see, Plattville, IL, earlier in this year] is probably unique. [Mike Swords; References: Walt Andrus. Illinois APRO field investigation report, December 6, 1969 (Hynek/CUFOS files); and SKYLOOK 26, January 1970 "Car Rises From Highway As UFO Passes Overhead"; and Letter: Walt Andrus to J. Allen Hynek, February 25, 1971.] Dec. 5, 1969; Klamath Falls, OR Evening. Three Southern Pacific Company Railroad men on a train with 106 cars moving southwest toward Klamath Falls, Or., saw a UFO the night of Dec. 5th, as reported by the Klamath Falls "Herald & News" on Dec. 8. Noel Cailloutte, the conductor, said "It was a bright light heading north. It had a long, narrow beam. It was moving diagonally across the tracks," he added, "I tell you, it gives me the creeps." He thought the light was at least 5,000 ft. high as it crossed the track in front of them. "I've never seen anything as bright as that," he reported. The engineer and flagman also saw the object, (Credit: Lou Farish. Rob Swiatek)
Secretary of the Air Force Robert C. Seamans, Jr.,
announced termination of Project Blue Book UFO
study. This was only the announcement date, not the
actual termination date, but the AF release was
worded in such a way as to suggest immediate
termination of BB. In fact BB did not
terminate until Jan. 30, 1970, as NICAP found out
and published in the May 1970 UFO Investigator.
