1977 was not a flap year for UFOs. When MADAR was
picking up anomalies during that summer, it was
somewhat disappointing. The scientific-oriented hopes
had always been to detect a UFO, have somebody phone
in a local report (or somebody on station actually see
and photograph a UFO): a correlation. Up until the
time of this writing there had been no comparative
study of the events of 1977. When the MADAR events
occurred, there was literally nothing to do but wait
until more information was forthcoming since a
sighting a database wasn't available. This
report is not to be confused with the NCP-19 paper (Ref. 1)
concerning the main incident, MADAR-15, a
comprehensive study in its own right. This
intelligence summary concerns ALL of the regional
events of 1977, in particular MADAR events 09-15, and
deals with MADAR region sightings only. However, the
evidence suggests that something was going on in other
parts of the world worth mentioning.
At 3:00 a.m. on July 1, 1977, at Aviano, Italy, electronic alarms suddenly sounded at a NATO base and then home to the 40th Tactical Group. Something had set off the magnetic and motion detectors in the high hurricane type fence protecting the Victor Alert compound, a facility that housed fighter aircraft, their crews, maintenance and support personnel. Simultaneously a power outage occurred at the Victor Alert facility, and though a back-up system immediately kicked in, minor power fluxes went on for the next 15 to 20 minutes. Soon security personnel were reporting a strange light display off to the northwest, off base, perhaps 200 meters beyond the fence line over a soybean field. A luminous round object with dome hovered above a the base security zone, spinning, changing color, emitting a sound like swarm of bees. (Ref. 2) On Oct. 7, 1977, nine disc-shaped UFOs circled
a Soviet Navy submarine tender. The radio,
electronics, and on-board communications were all
disrupted. (Ref. 3)
July 10, 1977 - MADAR Event #9 It simply has to be noted that on Nov. 16, 1977, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" was released at theaters. I attended the premier of this motion picture with the news media. This movie cannot be blamed for the events of 1977, however, since the actions of the people of Earth are being scrutinized at many levels, it seems highly possible that all these things may have been part of an attempt at communication. If not, all this is uncannily coincidental. Sometime in December, near Novy Georgy
Island, in Russian territorial waters the crew
of the fishing trawler Vasily Kiselev observed
something quite extraordinary. Rising vertically
from under the water was a doughnut-shaped
object. Its diameter was between 300 and 500
meters. It hovered at the altitude of four to
five kilometers. The trawler's radar station was
immediately rendered inoperative. The object
hovered over the area for three hours, and then
disappeared instantly. (Ref.4)
"Close Encounters of the Third Kind" was released
(Ref 6) AFTER all of this,
so the motion picture cannot be blamed for the
events of 1977. But its temporal position within
that year in conjunction with the WOW! Signal may
have some significance. There are those of us who
believe that all our actions are being monitored,
even plans, as this movie was in the making since
late 1973. Filming actually began in 1976.  Nov. 16, 1977 - Close
Encounters of the Third Kind released.
Those were just a few of the incidents that occurred in the world, before and after the MADAR events, in 1977. With these in mind we now look at what happened in the U. S. midwest that year. SEVEN MADAR EVENTS IN 1977 On July 10th at 1:04 AM, the siren shattered the
early morning silence. I jumped out of bed and
headed for the control room downstairs where the
equipment was set up, and turned off the audio alarm
switch. While the rest of the county slept, MADAR
was recording a 17-pulse disturbance in the local
magnetic field. The anomaly lasted 55 seconds. This
was the longest disturbance on record at the station
at that time and the fluctuations were the most
erratic recorded so far by MADAR's event recorder.
Background radiation was a normal 16 counts per
minute. I had looked outside to see if there was
anything in sight, in all directions, but there was
nothing unusual, at least near the facility. MADAR
was still recording at that time. About an hour
later when the tapes ran out I was confident that
the event had ended and I reset the sensor,
extracted the data tapes from the recorders, labeled
them and replaced them with new ones. There were no
incoming calls to the UFO Filter Center hotline. I
contacted the police department and spoke with
Officer Kermit Steele. He hadn't heard anything,
either. I then went back to bed.
For days I pondered over what had happened, a
little dismayed that I couldn't get what I'd hoped
for, for years: a more positive correlation between
detections and local sightings. This would be a
documented cause-and-effect relationship, more proof
that UFOs couldn't all be IFOs, and I would also
have the "early warning system". I wanted to be able
to grab a camera and run with it, getting a picture
to go with the other data. Or, have an independent
witness calling in a UFO that was observed at the
same time MADAR was picking up an anomaly.
MADAR Event # 10
Two days later it happened again. On July 12th,
at 1:48 AM, I jumped out of bed with greater
expectations. When it was all over I went over the
tapes. On the sensor data tape there was no reading
of the pulse. The first pulse (I call this the
"phantom pulse") is the one that turns on the
system, therefore it is not recorded. However, the
"pulse" is not actually a quick & short
disturbance. When the needle is pulled from north it
may take many seconds to minutes to return to
normal, indicating the disturbance is not a random
or sudden event. This was a one-pulse disturbance,
however, with no slow "return", indicating the cause
was at the limit of the sensor's range. The
variometer must have moved just enough to allow
enough light to strike the photo cell, then back to
normal. The background radiation reading was 18 cpm,
still normal for the area. No calls. No visual
sightings from our facility. The police department
was alerted, but had heard nothing from callers or
cruisers.
MADAR Event #11
A little over two hours later, at 4:35 AM, I was awakened again by the siren, indicating another anomaly was occurring. Two hours and 47 minutes had elapsed and MADAR had recorded another event. This time it was a 5-pulse, 53-second disturbance. Radiation was a normal 16 cpm. I did everything I had trained myself to do in such an event, then once again stumbled back to bed. It wasn't over. And I don't know why, but this time I didn't record the time. I should have, because sometime within an hour, the facility's smoke alarm started beeping. Not screaming, but beeping. There was no smoke or noticeable fumes. The beeping signal indicated that the smoke alarm was not getting enough power, indicating the batteries were low. Later, the batteries were checked and in perfect order and not replaced until six months later! Something had caused the voltage to drop for a very short time. Whatever had caused it was an anomaly in itself, because there was nothing wrong with the unit or the batteries. MADAR Event #12
Three days later, on July 15th, this time at
10:06 PM, MADAR logged another event. This was a
4-pulse, 4-second disturbance, radiation 13 cpm.
Again, it seemed as if it was all a waste of time.
There were no UFO reports.
Later, when a database was constructed, something interesting turned up in the region. Right across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, Ohio is a little town in Kentucky, called Bellevue. At 10:45 PM that evening, Mrs. Fern Frey (name changed) was lying in bed with her 11-year-old daughter who was asleep. She was shocked to see her bed light up with a bright green glow. Thinking her home was being burglarized, Mrs. Frey jumped out of bed. (There was a lot of this "jumping out bed" this summer). The glow was coming through one of the two windows in the bedroom. She cautiously peeked through the curtain and watched in bewilderment as the green light retreated, "just like a liquid being drawn up through a straw." In a matter of seconds the light was "siphoned" up into a low hovering object that was shaped like an inverted saucer a couple of hundred feet away. She guessed it was about 30' in diameter and was metallic. The moon's glow reflected on it and she could determine that its visible surface was clearly divided into equal-sized squares. The bottom was in darkness, appearing flat, and it was into this section that the recoiling beam of light was drawn. The object then gracefully lifted and disappeared into a wooded area. A few days later, on a routine visit to the Mt.
Vernon Police Department as part of my local PR
work, the dispatcher, Officer Kermit Steele, had
advised me that they had picked up transmissions on
the police radio from two locations. This had
happened RIGHT AFTER I had called him on the 12th!
At approximately 2:l0 AM, citizens had been
reporting UFOs to police at Mt. Vernon, Illinois, 60
miles to the northwest of us! Also, reports were
coming in from Mayfield, Kentucky, 85 miles to the
southwest! Finally, I had a correlation! Not a local
one, but too much to be a coincidence.
That evening a report came in over the KNI Net (police scanner frequency). Somebody had phoned in a report to the Kentucky State Police at Hancock County. They thought they had seen an aircraft "going down". I immediately contacted the Control Tower at Dress-Regional Airport. No aircraft was ever reported missing or crashed. This was either a meteor or, a UFO. We'll never know. But things were starting to look very odd. Coincidences were getting less likely. MADAR Event #13
This was now July 26th. This was in the wee hours
again, at 2:20 AM, a one-pulse disturbance, with
radiation a normal 16 cpm. I was now getting enough
sleep. The events were getting farther apart.
On July 31st, Normal, Illinois, had a daylight
sighting of interest. At 6:30 PM, a university art
professor called his wife and secretary to see the
silver "stretched cigar", three times the size of
the moon in length. It was observed for three
minutes as it flew in a slow straight path from
southwest to northeast, with no trail, no wings, no
details, no sounds. The apparent size and duration
should impress even an ardent skeptic. Good UFO
reports were coming in and MADAR was working. We
just needed a local correlation by a credible
observer.
MADAR Event #14
August 1st at 10:11 PM. It was a 4-pulse,
4-second disturbance with a 16 cpm reading. It was
starting to get boring again.
Then the big one. But we didn't know just HOW big
until 2010! The implications of MADAR 15 are still
reverberating.
MADAR Event #15 The final one for the year, was logged on August
15th at l0:14 PM. It was an 18-pulse, 3-minute and
29-second disturbance. MADAR had logged the best and
longest APD so far. And the background radiation
reading was 30 cpm, a 100% increase! For the record,
this was a significant reading!
All that we lacked was what we were looking for, a good UFO report. MADAR had recorded seven events in a little over a month. Something was going on. This included UFOs reported to law enforcement officers within 60-85 miles, an E-M effect on a smoke alarm, and a significant background radiation reading. But this meager evidence wasn't going to turn any heads. Until 2010, that is, or now. The amazing discovery in 2010 of the correlation with the WOW! Signal being recorded by SETI scientists, 310 miles away in Ohio is a story in itself. As mentioned earlier, NCP-19 is a comprehensive report on that incident. But this paper deals with all 7 MADAR incidents.  Form 146M printout for MADAR 15  Updated MADAR Graph: 1977
In 2015 the events of the MADAR region for 1977 were extracted from the updated 1977 UFO Chronology here at Mt. Vernon, Indiana. Theses events, which include the ones on the graph above, are now listed in chronological order below. |

Dogs barked while object was present. (Woodward)
Jan. 27, 1977; Prospect, Kentucky
1:05 AM. A teenager spotted a rectangular, orange-red object coming down to near his jeep. His jeep's radio failed 15 seconds into the sighting. He felt compelled to watch the object, which stayed in the vicinity only a short time. Later under hypnosis, however, he related being taken inside the object and examined by three strange creatures who were shaped like machines. The electrical system on his jeep went haywire the day after the sighting.

March 5, 1977; McNatt, MO
11:00 PM. Lonnie Stites and his wife, Deborah,
were driving their pickup truck around a bend in the
road when "the whole area lit up like a football
field light was turned on, and a very bright light
was shined on our windshield." He saw a man of
normal height or slightly smaller stature standing
alongside the road. He was human looking, but
dressed in green coveralls with square glasses and a
tight green cap over his ears. He was "waving us
down." Up on the hill was another figure carrying
what appeared to be "a ball of electricity about the
size of a basketball." The second figure was walking
away from an object that looked like a water tank,
about 10 feet across and 10 to 15 feet tall, with
red lights going around it. The UFO was about 50-60
feet from them. Mrs Stites said that she saw two
people on the hillside carrying "basketball sized
lights," and that the UFO at one point flew over the
truck. They turned the truck around and drove away
in great fear. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted
Bloecher, HUMCAT: catalog of Humanoid Reports, case
1977-11, citing Monte Blue Skelton & Bob Pratt).

5:40 AM. Snowy morning. Blue lights were ahead
which lady thought was a snow plow. One blinking
light of unknown shape flew across in; front of her
then suddenly 6 to 12 blue lights took up position 2
to 3 feet in front of her slowly traveling car. The
car was illuminated with a blue light and static
came on radio. When the lights dived a red light
came on as if breaking. The small lights all flew
off together and out of sight over a field. Next day
at spot in road her car radio went dead. (Worley

April 5, 1977: Deerfield, IL
2:17 PM. 1-1.5 mins. Pilot driving on I-94
northbound on a cold, cloudy day (overcast at
5,000') saw object coming toward him (southbound)
first in distance then directly above him later on.
Described as a silver mushroom three times the
apparent size of the moon, moved silently toward
Chicago against the wind. (IUR,2,5)
April 12, 1977; Henschen, Indiana
At 11 p.m. a couple were driving to their trailer
home and had to make a stop to change their baby's
diaper. As the husband looked for a diaper in the
car he glanced out a window and saw a twelve foot
tall hairy creature with fierce glowing red eyes.
The creature uttered some guttural sounds and made
an apparent aggressive move towards the car. They
drove off quickly, but the creature chased their
vehicle as they attempted to flee. It pounded
angrily on their car and dented it, flinging its
arms up and down. The following night the couple saw
a similar creature perched near a tree that was
overlooking their mobile home. The creature took
several steps towards the house and was shot at by
the husband several times, at which point it seemed
to jump up and disappeared in plain sight. (Source:

A car being driven by a 47-year-old woman and accompanied by another female passenger was paced by a white glowing object for three minutes. The description of the shape differed, but one of the women described it as a disc-shaped object. The incident occurred near a Nike missile base. (Source: Allan Hendry, International UFO Reporter, June 1977, p. 3). May 8, 1977; Joliet, IL 2:00 PM. Adult couple driving westbound watched
as a silver "straw hat" the size of the moon rush
eastbound over I-80 (and their car) making no noise.
Object, which was in view 30-seconds, was flying
against the wind. (IUR,2,6)

silver sphere with "Saturn ring" or halo around it,
heading eastbound. 30-secs. (IUR,2,6)
Night? The sole witness....spotted an "entity"
lying on the ground apparently in trouble. Emerging
from the nearby alley were three more similar
entities, who proceeded to retrieve their companion
and retreat back into the alley from whence they
came. All through the experience, an "abnormal"
silence enveloped the area, no one else, nor no
traffic was present... (See details at link.

July of 1977: Connersville, IN *
Evening. Three young boys, Todd being 12-years
old, were playing on the-playground north of
Maplewood School. Low in the sky off to the east
they noticed three lights which they thought were
some type of military aircraft. But as the lights
approached, not changing position, they couldn't see
any stars between them. The other two boys fled, but
Todd was entranced as this now massive
triangle-shaped thing came in over the trees in the
east and moved overhead at, what he thought, was
about 150'. There was a low-toned hum as it moved at
about 25-30 mph. Each side of the triangle looked
about 300' wide, as it passed over Todd fell
backward and laid on the grass looking up at it. It
continued moving west, then all of a sudden
disappeared. The craft was in view about 5 minutes.
The report was filed in 1992 and Todd was unsure
where the other two boys were. It had been a long
time. A Form 5 for Psychological/Physiological cases
was filed because Todd had reported that his
eardrums, as well as other organs, vibrated during
the incident. (Worley files)

Although this report was created to study the
possibility of UFO incidents and MADAR detections in
the midwest, some effort was made to see if there
might have been any national or world correlations of
note.
In 2003 when I instigated the Nuclear Connection
Project one of my staff members, Larry Hatch, provided
a list of 193 sightings in or about nuclear sites and
related places. These are 3-data-lines
each, with a one line ( 78 character ) capsule
summary of events, plus coordinates, date , time
and other fields. As part of the NICAP casework we
processed many of these into our system.
1. Upon checking our NICAP files no case dated 1977
was listed among processed files.
2. The NCP file list has been in place since the
project began but the NICAP work has updated the cases
and the URLs have been changed. No incidents for 1977
were found. Here is the original chronological list of
cases. Please excuse the bad (outdated) links.
3. Extracted from the Hatch Database are the 1977
case printout data only.

4. Manned Space Flights - The Shuttle Emerges
Although the first official manned flight did not
occur until 1981, surprisingly it all started that
very year where five (5) test flights were conducted
in 1977. The first free flight test was on August
12th. Considering the fact that we are being observed,
preparations for these tests probably would have been
of interest before and during these tests.
5. Nuclear Tests

Brazil "Flap"
1977 didn't stand out as a wave or flap year here
in the United States, but apparently there was a UFO
flap of sorts in Brazil.http://www.nicap.org/07-ENTCAT/1977_ufocasebook.com_brazil_ufoflap.pdf
* The Colares flap refers to an
outbreak of UFO sightings that occurred in 1977 on the
Brazilian island of Colares. During the outbreak, the
UFOs allegedly attacked the citizens with intense
beams of radiation that left burn marks and puncture
wounds. These sightings led to the Brazilian
government dispatching a team to investigate under the
codename Operation Saucer the government later
recalled the team and classified the files until the
late 1990s.
* Main article: Operation Prato
The first operation of the Brazilian Air Force
created only to investigate UFO-related issues. This
operation was started shortly after the Colares UFO
flap.
Conclusions
Although the purpose of this paper is to report
or list what happened in regard to MADAR, UAP, and
other events in search of a correlation, the fact
that 1977 wasn't a "flap" year in the U.S. cannot
be denied. However, there was considerable
activity of a highly strange nature that wasn't
taken into account in 1977 that came to the fore
later as data became available. Thirty years later
when the WOW! Signal connection was discovered and
the major motion picture about ET, "Close
Encounters of the Third Kind" was noted, 1977
began looking much more differently than it had
originally. The events in Brazil painted a very
high-strangeness picture as well, with somewhat
slower activity than the landmark year of 1976 and
sort of a preview to the upcoming madness of 1978,
with 1977 right in the middle.
