U.S. Government UFO Document:
“PROJECT 10073 RECORD (CARD):
DATE – TIME GROUP: 19 June 1968/
LOCATION: Rocky, Oklahoma”


(Project Blue Book, U.S. Air Force, Washington, D.C.)

Source: Fold3.com, Lindon, Utah

Quote from the document (Page 1):
“An illuminated ‘object,’ glowing and very bright in the center, with a great many white lights bordering the glow, approached the witnesses from the southeast, descending at a 45 deg. angle. The ‘craft’ or lights were rotating in a counterclockwise direction. Object made noise at first like helicopter – then silent when close by. The two boys were frightened and took refuge in the hay barn after two or three minutes. They claim positively that it was not an aircraft or balloon. Dogs barked, presumably at object. Based on evidence given, and unless boys’ evidence is very largely discounted, cause of sighting is not known. No aircraft in vicinity.”

The case is listed as “UNIDENTIFIED.”

“Subject: Minuteman II ICBM Deployment
to SAC Bases in 1966 And The UFO Sightings”


By Daniel Wilson, 19 October 2006
(NICAP.org)

Quote from the article:
“In 1966 the Minuteman II ICBM was deployed to 5 SAC bases, Malmstrom Air Force Base, Ellsworth Air Force Base, Minot Air Force Base, F.E. Warren Air Force Base, and Whiteman Air Force Base. Malmstrom Air Force Base was also selected as the location for an additional Minuteman squadron, and LFs and LCFs were consequently constructed at this base. The first Minuteman II was deployed at Grand Forks Air Force Base, North Dakota, in August 1965.

In early 1966 UFOs were being reported at these same SAC bases.”

“PROJECT 10073 RECORD (CARD):
DATE – TIME GROUP: April 1966 (not 1959)/
LOCATION: Grand Forks, North Dakota”


(Project Blue Book, U.S. Air Force, Washington, D.C.)

Quote from the document:
(Project Blue Book (Wright-Patterson AFB, Dayton, Ohio) memorandum) (Page 2):
“Call from SSgt Levy ext 6621 or 6622, Grand Forks, N Dakota regarding observation of approximately ten days ago by (blacked out text) of McHenry, North Dakota. Phone through exchange Tolna, (blacked out text). He is a farmer and saw this object near the Minuteman I-37. Sighting 60 miles ESE of Grand Forks AFB. Looked like glass Bulbs inside of a ring. The sound was like a tractor back firing. He has made sketches of it  It was at 8 pm that he observed the object. This man had reported it to Minot but they hadn’t done anything about it so he called Grand Forks and told them he had reported it to Minot and was worried cause the UFO was near the Minuteman site. He hadn’t thought anything about it at first but then got to thinking it was near the Minuteman site. SSgt Levy said the whole thing was pretty well confused and the man had wanted to hear from someone on his observation to fill out forms or something of the kind. Informed Sgt Levy that we would send this man a form 164 to complete. Sgt Levy is going to send us a report of his conversation and how the mess got into his hands. He would inform the man that he was going to be sent some forms to fill out, and that he was sure this would please him.

(Letter from Department of the Air Force, Headquarters 4th Strategic Aerospace Division (SAC), Grand Forks Air Force Base, North Dakota to Project Blue Book, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio) (Page 3):
1. Following is a written recount of a telephone call between this directorate and the UFO Center. This is the information offered to the Center.

2. A call was received at Grand Forks AFB Base Operations on Wednesday morning, April 13. It was from a Mr. (blacked out text), a farmer, of McHenry, N.D., telephone number Tolna (blacked out text). His farm is located 7 1/2 miles north and 2 miles east of McHenry. The farm is approximately 1 1/2 miles away from a Minuteman II missile site, I-37, and this is the reason he made the report, because he was worried that the sighting was in the vicinity of the site. Sometime between 3-7 April 1966, he made a sighting at 8 p.m. in the evening. All he could tell was that the object resembled glass bulbs in a ring and made a sound like a farm tractor backfiring. He didn’t make the report at first, but later changed his mind because of the Minuteman II silo.

UFO Article (Blog):
“Significant Release Of Never-Before-Seen
Australian UFO Policy.... And Get Excited....
Because Some Of It Is Still Classified – Part 4”


By Paul Dean, 21 February 2016
(UFOs – Documenting The Evidence, Melbourne, Australia)

Quote from the article:
“I have been recently reporting on the release of Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) policy material which concerned the cancelling of Australia’s official 40 year acceptance and study of UFO reports. My work can be found in three previous parts: Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3. At the end of Part 3, I wrote:

‘I could continue providing textual transcription and imagery of this significant piece of Australian DoD history, but this series needs to be finalized, and anyone who wants to study the records provided to me merely needs to ask. It is absolutely worth other researchers having a look at this material. I have taken much away from these records, and, if nothing else, it proves that the RAAF can locate and prepare 20 year old records with what appeared to me to be relative ease. Also, in regards to the redactions of text found in this release, on the 17th of January, 2016, I appealed the DoD’s FOI decision makers and asked for the blacked-out text to be released in full. I expect an answer by February’s end.’

And that is where, even considering my appeal for redacted (blacked-out), I believed the matter would probably end. Gut instinct told me, on this occasion, that the Department of Defence (DoD) and its Freedom of Information (FOI) branch, had provided me with what I wanted, and that the sections of redacted text would stay like that until I revisited the issue in years to come.

To my surprise, I was quite wrong.

The DoD have not only released most of the records with far fewer redactions, they’ve done so without cost and at an impressive pace.”

“The 444th Air Expeditionary Wing is a provisional unit of the United States Air Force assigned to Air Combat Command to activate or inactivate as needed. It was last activated in 2003.

During World War II, the 444th Bombardment Group was a United States Army Air Forces combat organization. The group was the first Boeing B-29 Superfortress Group formed for the 58th Bombardment Wing, and served in the China Burma India Theater and Pacific Ocean Theater as part of the Twentieth Air Force. The group’s aircraft engaged in very heavy bombardment operations against Japan. The group received the Distinguished Unit Citation for its combat operations on three occasions.”

“Foo Fighters, revisit your namesake”


By Billy Cox, 3 February 2016
(De Void, Sarasota Herald-Tribune, Florida)

Billy Cox reports about Keith Chester’s foo fighter research:


Quote from the article:
“Anyway, this guy, Keith Chester, he pays about a hundred visits to the National Archives and Records Administration over the years. He collects, like, two shelf-feet of pertinent military records and comes back with a gold mine, man: official memos, debriefing accounts, after-action reports, you name it. I mean, who does this stuff anymore?”
