UFO News Report
MELLA
EXCLUSIVE! . . . For the last few months TRC has been exten-
sively investigating a series of sightings in the Cleveland, Ohio.
area. When all of the facts, diagrams and maps were integrated.
we realized that these incidents formed one of the most comprehen-
sive UFO files to be found anywhere.
For many weeks TRC pondered what action should be taken
and we finally placed the complete file in the hands of the Air
Technical Intelligence Center at Wright Patterson Field, Dayton,
Ohio. The case file was also sent to prominent persons in other
governmental a agencies. We feel that this file proves conclusively
that unidentified flying objects are controlled by extra-terrestrial
intelligences who are visiting the Earth for a very definite purpose.
Visitors Move In Close: Cleveland Observed:. On October
14, 1955, Iwas driving north on Kemper Road in Cleveland.At
approx. 7:20 p,m. a string of yellowish lights caught my attention
in the upper right of my windshield. I pointed the objects out to
my companion and we were both amazed at the brightness and ar-
rangement of the strange objects. They were much brighter than
the nearby car and street lights and stood out brilliantly in the
night sky. I slowed down and we watched them make a gradual
turn. They executed this maneuver simultaneously. As soon as
possible I phoned my report to other investigators in the area with
whom we had been working. The case was recorded but not much
was macle of it. Exactly one week later, on October 2lst at 7:15 was made of it. Exactly one week later, on October 2lst at 7:15

mediately called Al Roush, who lives in South Euclid, an eastern
suburb of Cleveland. Al told me that he and his wife had seen suburb of Cleveland. Al told me that he and his wife had seen
the object pass low over their hone. The next day, TRC started the object pass low over their home. The next day. TRC started
an extensive investigation. The results of that investigation and
the conclusions drawn follow:
Immediate interviewing revealed five other witnesses to the :
happening along a route from west to east. They included a coun-
try club doorman, a Sohio gas station attendant and local residents.
Maps were drawn of the object's course and when all of the facts
were correlated we had very complete record of a UFO flight
over Cleveland.
To establish the unknown classification, Al Roush spoke to
many authorities whose business it is to know what goes on in the
air. Mr. Hilliard, Safety Division of the C.A.A., told TRC that the
only advertising plane in this s area was not up during the UFO
sighting. Also, a discussion with Mr. Turner of the Goodyear
Wingfoot Air Ship Base in Akron, Ohio, revealed that no blimp
was over Cleveland that night or any other night that week!
Another check with Mr. Gorhan of the Cleveland Air Taxi,
Inc., proved that a helicopter could not have been responsible for
the unusual sighting. With these results, Mr. Roush proceeded to
the Canton Air Force Filter Center with his report. He was inter-
viewed by a Sgt. Lee, who seemed extrernely interested. After
several conferences with officials of the base, Sgt. Lee told Mr.
Roush: "Well, we think what you saw was an unidentified Roush:"Well, we think what you saw was an unidentified d flying flying

DESTROYED
Evidence that the Air Force destroys some official U UFO reports has been given
to Prof. Charles A. Maney, NICAP Board Member, by an AF source. The photo-
copy below reproduces the top part of an Air Intelligence Information Report, cover-
ing a UFO sighting by t two AF officers. Though the report is not unusual, the
"Destroy"" order--which the source said was not uncommon--indicates a form
of censorship previously unknown to NICAP.

Dear
Attached herewith are the original three (3) photographs and
five (5) negatives which you submitted to this organization for review
and comment on 7 November 1956. Reference is also made to your
letter of 12 January 1957 I in which you requested status and dis-
position of s material.
We regret the delay, but as part of the study and reviews, the
photographs were submitted to a scientist who later was assigned to
t, leaving them behind.
With respect findings, please be advised that the photo-
graphs and negatives were subjected to a series of microscopic and
other e examinations, including a motion picture size projection. The
light appears to be emanating from an outside source into a container,
believed to be the inside of a telescope tube, and photographed with the
camera at the eye piece and being at a slight tilt or angle. A comn-
state is an astronomer, ras or was not aware of this, or if this is
merely a case of you as inter-

with our analysis and other data in case files.
