The Night NORAD Went On Top Alert
October 1975
Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado

For some time now we have known that something very strange and important was going on in October and November of 1975. We have proof that there were incidents that, to quote from released documents, "prompted the implementations of a Security Option 3 at our northern tier bases since 27 October." Sightings occurred at Loring AFB, Maine, Wurtsmith AFB, New Hampshire ,and then at Malmstrom AFB, Montana. In late 1983, an informant reported that there had been a major incident at NORAD during that same period. which prompted a Security Option 5 alert and total "lock down" at "the Mountain" which houses NORAD HQ. It was my duty as Field Investigator for MUFON to investigate this report.
