Case 188s. January 12th, 1965. U.S.A., Custer,
WA. 20.20 Hrs.
Four witnesses, Mrs Jubert and her three teenage
daughters, observed an extremely bright light coming
towards their house. Thinking it was about to hit
the house, they ran outside. The light descended
below a tree line and could not be seen. The object
was tracked by Blaine Air Force Base radar. The
driver of a border patrol vehicle saw a slightly
domed object, 30 foot in diameter, pass over his
car. The object finally ascended vertically at high
speed and disappeared to the northeast. Where the
object had landed in the 14 to 18 inches of snow,
there was a large circular imprint, 12 foot in
diameter. In addition to the snow being melted, the
ground showed evidence of scorching. Tracks were
found leading from the site, oval and about 8 inches
long and 8 inches apart in single file. The tracks
led into a wooded area and ended. (Vallee and

Ted Phillips:
I have mixed feelings about this case. The presence of "tracks" could indicate the involvement of hoaxers, yet the account of the light sounds very intriguing. Did the UFO really appear on radar ? I find that difficult to believe. This is a difficult case to evaluate without a proper case summary to examine. |
