The whole UFO report:
“On Jan. 27, Maj. John Nayadley, a retired AF pilot
who is now a NASA research engineer, sighted a fast-moving object at Hampton,
Va. At first, its speed led him to think it a ‘shooting star.’ But when it came
closer, he saw it was a V shaped object with blinking red-orange lights on the
outer edges. The sighting was fully confirmed by another NASA engineer, A. G.
Crimmins, Jr., who saw the UFO maneuvering close to the ground.
‘It was zigzagging as if searching for a landing spot,’
said Mr. Crimmins, in his report to NICAF (read: NICAP). ‘I watched it through
20 x 50 binoculars and I could see the same flashing lights. They appeared to
be on the edge or rim of a rapidly rotating disc.’
After a brief touch-landing, the flying disc took off
and rapidly climbed out of sight.
The AF quickly explained the UFO as a helicopter. When
an investigator from Langley AFB questioned Crimmins, he said that ‘no helicopters
were flying at that time.’
But AFHQ still uses this false answer, ridiculing an
experienced AF pilot and a NASA engineer as too befuddled or excited to
recognize an ordinary ‘whirly-bird.’
Soon alter this case broke, Maj. Hector Quintanella
[sic], UFO Project chief, came to Richmond to debunk the numerous recent
Virginia sightings. Playing up frauds, delusions and fake photos, Quintanella
combined ridicule, evasion or denial of documented facts and claimed not a
single UFO report had ever been proved true.”
