Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode we're talking about the FBI document dump.
That's correct, the FBI document dump.
Now they've rounded up all these files and we've got the first,
the first bunch has been dropped that that President Trump has
ordered to be dropped. Interesting stuff.
I went over there to ufo.gov and got started on this.
There's a quite a bit there. I haven't come across anything
earth shattering yet, but there's so many pages and
there's a lot of cool stuff. I just kind of started from the
top here. And the very first file, it's
184 pages and it ranges from elderly people sending in
letters to J Edgar Hoover thinking that UFO clubs were
communist. I've gotten into these
collection of newspaper articles now.
These are the funnest, I think when you go back into the 50s,
sixties, 70s, and you read these first hand accounts of people
actually seeing these UFOs. Now they've got a few of them
listed here. I just want to take a look at
them. This first one, the title that
the headline says track by radar UFO sighted over wide section of
district and this looks like it's from London ON Canada.
It's dated March 29th, 1966. It says unidentified flying
object tracked briefly on radar by a by US Air Force base in
Michigan last night and a multitude of new sightings were
reported by western Ontario residents.
A retired U.S. Marine Corps major said
yesterday there is a There is substantial evidence that they
are observation devices controlled by a superior
civilization. Sightings of the objects were
reported last night over an area stretching from Serena to
Contour, north of Woodstock. Northwest of Woodstock, the
mysterious objects came in a variety of forms, according to
their observers. So it sounds like we have a mass
sighting going on there, people seeing a lot of different types
of UFOs. There was an orange one at
Sarnia and another giving off red, white and blue flashes.
There was a red one in London that had a pulsating white Halo.
The one at Cantore was a bright white light that intermittently
faded to dull red. Some of them were hightailing it
through the skies like mad, and some of them were sitting stock
still in mid air. Some were poking along and some
were traveling slowly with intermittent bursts of speed.
A spokesman at the US Air Force Base in Selfridge, Michigan,
said one was tracked briefly on radar but could not say what it
was. Some observers said their
sightings lasted for about 7 minutes.
Others reported the object Insight for up to two hours.
The Free Press sent five men out Martian hunting 2 of them in a
chartered plane, but found only two high flying jet planes
carrying the usual red and green running lights and leaving white
vapor trails. Major Donald E Kehoe, the Marine
officer who advanced the Outer Space in the Sky theory on
behalf of the National Investigative Investigations
Committee on Aerial Phenomena, called on the US government
yesterday to release all the information it has on UFO
sightings. There is substantial evidence we
are being observed by some sort of device which is far more
advanced than anything we have and is controlled by a superior
civilization, he told a press conference.
Now you kind of get the idea here of how folks in the know
viewed these things 50-60 years ago.
They were looking at these things as physical objects
controlled by physical entities from a civilization somewhere
off into deep space. They weren't looking at these
things so much as being interdimensional or or spiritual
or anything like that. These things are real and under
intelligent control, he added. He urged the Air Force to end
the secrecy on sightings and stop ridiculing the competent
witnesses who have seen them. Kiho, who has written several
books on the subject of UFOs, is director of the investigations
committee. The majority of the Western
Ontario sightings came from London and Arnia.
Missus Jay Fielding of 1025 Oxford St.
East London, reported seeing a white light in the northeast sky
headed towards Stratford on 7:25 PM.
Of course, we're still talking about London, Canada here.
A Thorndale area man, Floyd Baxter, at 7:40 reported seeing
an orange and yellow light moving very slowly to the
northeast. He estimated it to be more than
1000 feet high. 15 minutes later at Kentori, 6 miles northeast
Thorndale, a mother and her two children saw a white light quite
high in the sky that seemed to be blinking, Misses JH Haynes of
Kentori said. There was no sound and we
watched it for 10 minutes anyway.
It would brighten up, then it would dim down.
It was moving ever so slowly, she added.
Now this sounds an awful lot like one of these orb sightings
that we see today. It was moving ever so slowly,
she added. Her daughter Wendy, 15 year old
Ingersoll District Colgate Institute student, also said she
saw a clear white light which kept dimming and getting
brighter. Larry, her 13 year old brother,
saw the same object, but he insisted that when it became
dim. Quote.
I could see a red collar coming from it.
In London, James T Deus of 572 Hutton Rd., came home from a cub
meeting with three young boys. At 8:20 he sighted an object
moving southward in the sky. I saw it first at 8:20,
traveling at an enormous rate of speed almost directly South.
Then it swooped back up northward and it never moved for
an hour. Mr. Dais said.
It was a mass of red and blue lights flashing off and on.
It was no plane. There wasn't any sound.
A neighbor, Harold J Kennedy of 550 Kingsway Dr. said he saw
around 9:00 PM and it was sitting low in the northern sky.
By 10:00 PM, the object was higher and further to the South
in a stationary position. Now these people are just seeing
these things all over the place. Just notice it's what I would
call a mass sighting, really multiple people, but they're all
seeing different, different expressions of these UFOs.
Now here's one from the sun bulletin.
It says Birmingham, New York, March 17th, 1966.
This is how these FBI files, not star, says collector of flying
saucer photos. The director of Unit 40 of the
Amalgamated Flying Saucer Club of America is not convinced that
the object sighted in the skies over Fort Dickinson Tuesday
night was the star Arcturus. I know enough about astronomy to
know that a star does not have, does not behave in that manner,
Gerald M Reynolds of 684 State St. said last night.
Mr. Reynolds said he talked with persons who witnessed a strange
object flashing multi colored lights around 8:30 PM Tuesday.
He hopes to talk with others who saw the object.
Mr. Reynolds, a construction foreman, is 60 years old.
He has a large file of photographs of flying saucers
and other material relating to spaceflight.
He admits that not all sightings are mysterious and told of the
time 2 persons called him to tell him about strange lights
seen over Binghamton. 1 turned out to be the planet Jupiter and
the other came from a house or a car on Elk Park Hill.
He laughed. Yeah, well, you know, not all
sightings I guess are the actual thing, but it's kind of cool
this guy's still out there doing that.
And this is back in 1966. I'm sure he's long since gone.
Swamp gas still flying. This is from the Telegram,
Toronto, Saturday, March 28th, 1966.
Detroit. EU Air Force closed its books
today on the case of two visits. Quote UN quote by unidentified
flying objects. It's verified swamp gas.
Well, there you go. Well, if it's verified suave
gas, and I'm sure they could go out and reproduce it, right?
But some of the people who witnessed what they thought was
a landing by a glowing extradition spacecraft were not
completely convinced the experts were right.
And even while the two most spectacular Michigan sightings
now wore the tag of an official explanation, UFO sightings
continue to pop up across the country in rural areas and
cities alike. Doctor J Allen Heineck, the top
Air Force advisor on UFO sightings, climaxed 3 days of
the on scene investigation by telling a news conference it
appeared very likely swamp gas was responsible for mass reports
of strange going objects this week at Hillsdale and Dexter in
southern Michigan. That we've covered this case on
the podcast before. I should probably do it again.
But one of the men that ported, seeing this, they just pretty
much tried to destroy his life. It was very sad case.
William Van Horn, Little Hills Hill Civil Defense director,
said he was dissatisfied with the explanation because
Heineck's investigation of the sighting was too brief and
because Heineck sidesteps mention of the report from 2
college coeds who said they saw the UFO close up as it swept
past their window. Now here's the thing.
You had a working class guy who had reported this and you had I
think this maintenance guy, and they just destroyed them.
Especially this guy. He was, I think he was a he was
a rural guy, had a large family, saw this thing out in the
country and the media just trampled his reputation.
He said he was so disgusted by the whole process, he said he
wished he hadn't even talked about it.
Heineck was part of that. I think he acted just terribly,
in my opinion. But you had Hillsdale College
where a lot of these wealthy girls went to school at and they
were connected and they had parents that were wealthy and
had social status and nobody touched them.
They didn't have their reputations destroyed for
talking about it. This case was to me a black mark
on Alan Heinrich's record and reputation, in my opinion.
And later on, he went on to say, well, UFOs are real and this and
that, but boy, he left some real damage in his wake.
Other UFO sightings, meanwhile, were reported from a drive in
restaurant in Des Moines, from some police officers in Saint
Louis, from a truck driver on a Michigan Interstate highway,
from sheriff's deputies in Toledo, OH, from a farmer in
Upper Sandusky, OH, from a housewife at McComb, Ms., a news
man at Toma, Wisconsin, and a man at Bangor, ME, who took a
potshot at his object. Nothing like shooting at these
things, huh? Yeah, that that was the one in
in Michigan there. 66 This next article says Mont dot Dash star
.41966 photograph flying saucer picture censored.
Associated Press Dateline Ravena, Ohio, April 19th.
We were close, closer than I ever want to be again, said a
deputy sheriff who chased an unidentified flying object from
Ohio into Pennsylvania. Hundreds of persons in both
states reported seeing the brilliant and shiny object early
Sunday morning. Police Chief Gerald Burchard of
Antua, about 8 miles north of Ravina, said he took a picture
of the object from his front yard, but the Air Force told him
not to release it. Butcher said it looked like 2
table saucers put together. Well, that's interesting.
It makes you wonder whatever happened to that picture, huh?
This says Sixteens tell of chase by buzzing lighted UFOs 6
picnicking Denver teenagers reported Thursday night they
were chased for an hour by unidentified flying objects in
Daniel Sparks South of Denver and Douglas County is written by
Robert Kistler, Denver Post staff writer.
I think that's a pretty good sized paper.
The high school students, three boys, 3 girls, told Police Chief
John C McIver of Littleton they witnessed unexplained,
apparently hovering red, blue and white lights accompanied by
a series of pulsating buzzing sounds, which began around 9:30
PM. The teenagers, all 17, who
described what they saw hesitantly, were described by
McIver as being sincere, cold, sober and a little shaken by
what they saw. The group appeared at Mciver's
office shortly before 11:00 PM. I was real skeptical at first,
McIver said. But each of the kids called
their parents, who knew they'd been picnicking, to tell them
where they were. I don't know what they saw, he
said. But I'm convinced they saw
something. Alan Schreibner, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Russell Schreibner of 1040 Jackson St. a junior at East
High School, gave the following account.
Scribner and five friends drove to Daniels Park, 10 to 12 miles
southeast of Littleton, about 6:30 PM.
They parked the car and walked about a city block, down a small
incline and up against a stone shelter built into the side of a
hill. The group was sitting around a
fire they built inside when they heard what sounded like a man
walking on top of the shelter. The roof can easily be reached
on foot from the slanting hillside.
Shrivener and Don Otis and East High School junior, son of Mr.
and Misses Elmore Otis, 1939 Fairfax St. stood on top of the
shelter and shined a flashlight into the surrounding area.
They saw nothing. The two, leaving the others
behind in the shelter, made their way through the underbrush
back to the road. I thought someone was messing
around my car, Schrebner said. Just as we got to the car, he
said, both of us heard a real weird buzzing noise.
It seemed to be all around us. As they reached the car, the
youths saw two red lights, about a foot each in diameter, about
two feet off the ground and parallel to each other.
There was a white light in the center of the road.
The lights, about 30 feet apart, appear to be in a field on the
far side of the road about 25 yards from the car.
The two, thinking it might be two parked cars or something,
crouched in the ditch and waited.
About 3 minutes later, they again approached the car.
They saw and heard nothing. They returned to the shelter.
The four in the shelter said that while the two had been
gone, they heard the same footstep, like sounds on the
roof again. Two of the girls said they'd
also seen a tall man who might have been wearing a raincoat,
dirt through the light showing through the window into the
area. They also said they heard his
footsteps. The group decided to leave.
As they were walking back to the car, Otis turned and saw a real
bright flash behind the hill over the shelter and it lit up
the whole area. Things are getting a little
stranger buzzing all around. The ominous buzzing sounds began
again. No direction, just all around.
Never heard anything like it in my life.
Shrivener said shortly afterward as the group near the car, they
all agreed they saw the same thing, 2 blue lights hovering
low in the sky and 3/4 of a mile away.
The lights were stationary and went from bright to dim.
A third white light appeared to rise up and down between the
Blues and lit up the area. No outline other than the lights
was visible. They perched atop the car's hood
and watched the blue and white lights off and on for about 1/2
hour. The lights appeared in back of
the shelter in the opposite direction from the first lights
seen in the field. 20 minutes after the Blues appeared,
another set. These Blues, with bright red in
the center, appeared off to the left of the others and a block
away. These hovered near the ground.
The buzzing continued. The night was overcast with no
stars, but real clear beneath the clouds where the lights
were. As the third set of lights
hovered, the youths agreed they could see a dark outline between
the lights. It looked like a black football,
the blue lights on each end with an orange on top, like a bubble.
The red light was at the bottom. It didn't move up and down, but
it did cast a beam of light at the ground, Shriver said.
Now says car didn't work right. The youngsters piled in the car,
a 1954 Ford, and started out of the park.
You'll all think we're nuts, Shrivner said later.
But my car didn't work right. I could get it up to about 30
mile an hour, then it would cut out like someone turned the
ignition off, then it would start up again.
Shrivner also complained that the radio was playing nothing
but static while they left the immediate area of the shelter.
As they drove off, 2 of the girls and Otis saw what appeared
to be a large Oval circle of lights that covered the whole
Rd. Following the car, Mary Zolar,
daughter of Missus and of Mr. and Missus Jack Azolar, 945
Fairfax St. a senior at East, was in the back seat with two
others. It was huge and glowing, she
said, and came right up to the back of the car.
Then it went out. It lasted about 3 seconds.
As the car left the park area, it quit missing out and the
radio played normally. Trevor said the youth stopped at
a service station and called the Arapahoe County Sheriff's
Office, then went to Macgyver's office.
MacGyver said one of the impressive things about their
story was all six didn't claim to have seen the exact same
thing at the same time. And a couple of them are real
shook up, he added. The operations officer at Lowry
Air Force Base said early Friday he'd received a call, apparently
from the Arapahoe County Sheriff, reporting the
sightings. Others in the group were Michael
Symington, son of Mr. and Misses James E Symington, 773 Jackson,
a junior at East, Patty Rutherwood, daughter of Mr. and
Missus Neil Rutherwood, 742 Harrison St. a junior at
Mapleton High School, and K Hurley, daughter of Mr. and
Missus Lloyd Hurley, 5736 Montview Blvd. a junior at
Mackaboof High School. Two other UFO sightings were
reported in the state, one in Delta and the other in Denver.
Delta Police Chief DC Morgan, Patrolman Ernest Marklay and
reporter Dan Prather of Delta Independent watched an object
which was glowing green in color and very bright.
The men observed it for almost 2 hours before it disappeared by
rising straight up and Denver. Terry Dats, 19, a University of
Denver student, said he and Dennis Sullivan of Mount Vernon,
NY, sighted about 7 UFO's which appeared garbage can lid size.
The students said the object. Logics disappeared into the
clouds after about 10 minutes. So there again, you have all
these multiple sightings happening on.
I really like that article though.
I mean, talk about getting the, the dates, the places down,
getting the witnesses down. I mean, they first last name,
address, parents name. That's what you call some actual
reporting right there. We see so little of that today.
I mean, they've got this, they've got the sources down.
They they write the story and they actually bring the
receipts. We'll do a couple more of these
short articles here. This says deputy gets too close
to saucer. Now, this doesn't have a date on
it, but it's the dateline is Ravena, Ohio.
We were close, closer than I ever want to be again, said a
deputy sheriff who chased an unidentified flying object from
Ohio into Pennsylvania. Hundreds of persons in both
states reported seeing the brilliant and shiny object early
Sunday morning. That's hundreds.
Police Chief Gerald Booker of Mantis, about 8 miles north of
Ravena, said he took a picture of the object from his front
yard, but the Air Force told him not to release it.
Imagine that. Why?
Booker said it looked like 2 table slots just put together.
Portage County Deputy Sheriff Dale Spauer said he and his
partner, WL Neff, were close to the object in separate cars and
chased it 86 miles for an hour and a half from Ravena to
Conway, PA, near Pittsburgh. Spauer said he clocked it at
speeds up to 103 mile per hour. From the ground, Spauer said it
looked like the head of a flashlight about 40 feet wide
and 10 feet high. Bauer said the lines of the
object were very distinct. Somebody had control over it.
He said it wasn't just floating around, it can maneuver now.
Interesting. The one law enforcement officer
says he took a picture of this saying 2 plates together but
sounds like a flying saucer. But the other guy describes more
of a cigar shaped shaped like a flashlight.
He says wow. Here's one from Montreal Gazette
dated 43066. Space world sought by Soviets
Soviet scientists, undeterred by Western skeptics, believe it is
possible that a super civilization exists in space and
is trying to make contact with Earth.
Because of Moscow's refusal to abandon hope, a new controversy
may be started in world astronomy circles.
Western experts scoffed a year ago when a young Russian
astronomer, Nikola Karashev, claimed he heard strange signals
from space and speculated they might have come from a man made
radio source. A Popular Science magazine then
polled 8 leading Soviet scientists to find out what they
think Friday. Tekla Moldethal Young Techniques
reported that no one is prepared to rule out the possibility.
I agree completely. It is necessary to look for
extraterrestrial civilizations, said academic Vladimir
Koltenakov, 58, a veteran radio engineer.
The Russians say it's time Earth Man started investigating
whether there may be sister civilization in space.
Three months ago, a group of Soviet astronomers suggested a
worldwide research program. Last April, Kardashev, 34,
turned his sensitive radio telescope to CTA1O2A quasi
stellar radio source originally discovered by the Mount Wilson
Polymer Observatory in Pasadena, CA.
These scientists said the signals picked up were 1,000,000
times stronger than previous earthbound radio emissions.
There are a number of elements which do not contradict the
theory that there is another civilization, he said.
Kind of funny how back then Russia seemed to be a lot more
interested in outer space civilizations than today.
Here's one last one here. We'll do and then I'll wrap this
up. I think it's just so much fun
though, to go back in time and look at these old newspaper
accounts. This is from the Spokane Daily
Chronicle, Saturday, April 2nd, 1966.
Since December, it says area UFO buffs report skies clear of
saucers Recent sightings and other sections of the country
have stimulated interest in unidentified flying objects in
the Spokane area, but none have been reported seen in this local
in this locality since December. There was reported today by
Missus Jack A Campbell, Route 3 director of the Spokane unit of
Algamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America.
Mrs. Campbell said there is going to be a regional
convention of the Flying Saucer Club in Spokane in early summer
and a lecture by a Seattle authority on unidentified flying
objects is scheduled by the local unit April 9th.
Missus Campbell said she was among several Spokane persons
who saw such a flying object South of Spokane at Christmas
time, but no subsequent sightings have been reported by
the UFO buff since that time. In this area.
She said the object was seen as a streak of blue which flashed
straight across the sky in the vicinity of Browns Mountain,
southeast of the city. Mrs. Campbell said it could not
have been a falling meteor or similar object, as its movements
was horizontal rather than vertical.
The Amalgamated Flying Saucer Club of America is a nonprofit
organization conducting research and investigation into the
subject of flying saucers and interplanetary travel and
communication and related subjects.
You can see it seems like things back then were mostly done on a
lot more of a of a grassroots level.
I mean, you had these small flying saucer clubs.
People like minded people were getting together reporting this
stuff and the newspaper reporting a lot of it does seem
more fair than what we've seen. There's a bunch more articles in
here. I'll take a look at these maybe
later on. I know there's been a lot of
complaining about the files that were released, that it's not
good enough, not enough. But I almost wonder.
This could just be narrative control, if they could just be
throwing some stuff out there to quiet people down.
But at the same time, it might be a situation where some of the
powers that be are testing the waters a bit.
And the easiest way to do that would be to take some of these
old newspaper articles, some of these old reports, some of these
old files, and begin releasing them.
Now, I did see an article where there'd been some stuff released
to the Black Vault that have been redacted and they're saying
that they have released an unredacted version of that.
There's quite a bit of material here and I think it's going to
take a while to go through it just like this one file that I'm
looking at 184 pages. Well, I mean, you could, you
could talk about that for a month.
We'll keep at it. We'll keep looking up the stuff
and I'll keep bringing it to you.
And if anybody has found other interesting reports coming out
of this latest document dump, then go ahead and leave comments
in the comments section and we can all look at it together.
Hey, don't forget to like, follow, subscribe.
Doesn't cost a dime. Until next time.
This is UFO warning over and out.
