NEAR<-LANOING IN MINNESOTAs A nine-year-old boy named Gary Green, living
on 8 fare near New Landon, Minnesota, made an unusually close observation of a

flying saucer at 5 p.m. last April 26th. The machine descended noiselessly to
within a few inches of the ground, @t a distance of about 200 feet from the
boy. It then raised a "stick" of some sort, resembling an antenna or peri-
scope. At that point, a weird noise began, which was heard by the boy's fa-
ther, who was across the road ina silo, doing chores. His father looked
around but could see nothing, as a grove of trees was between him and the UFO.

Gary Green stated that after a minute or two, the protrusion sticking
out from the UFO was withdrawn, and the noise ceased. Then the craft lifted
Slowly into the air, and when it was a few yards off the ground, it zoomed
away at unbelievable speed, ina westerly direction. He described the UFO as
looking like two saucers “placed lip to lip.” It was black in color, and about
five feet in diameter.

FLYING SAUCER REVIEW
Jan-Feb 66

AUSTRIA

Formation flight

From the Turin (Italy) journal
Secolo XIX of April 8, 1965, we learn
that a report from Vienna on Apgil 7
told how four boys had witnessed five
or six UFOs in the sky of Eisenerz in
Styria.

The objects passed swiftly from
south to north, leaving a luminous
wake. Visible for between six to

eight seconds, they made no noise.

Fireball

Over Howth, Irelan

Mr. John Knowles and Miss Rose Ward
of Dublin, Ireland were travelling by car

to ‘the Summit Inn at Howth Head on
the 9th of April 1965 when they observed
a UFO. Miss Ward told the Dublin Eve-
ning Herald that they were on Clontarf
Road when she spotted what appeared to
be a blue star “floating along”. She
brought it to Knowles’ attention but he
saw nothing.

“When we got to St. Fintan's Golf Club
on Howth Head, we were both amazed to
see a ball of light floating along—about
the “size of a football", Miss Ward re-
ported.

She said it changed color from white
to red and after a while it became blue
again. It was not flashing or pulsating.

Knowles said they watched the object
for about 20 minutes as it moved about
and changed color almost overhead. It
finally “zoomed” away and was lost to
Sight in the clouds. Knowles told APRO
Representative Austin Byrnes that the
object appeared to be the “size” of a
tennis ball” but could have been very
large and at a great distance. It came
in from the East, finally disappeared
southwest. Knowles also said the object

uppeared to come toward him and then
to recede in a kind of “wave motion”.

An Air Lingus spokesman said on the
14th that they nad no planes in the vicin-
ity at the time of the sighting which took
place at about 9 p.m. Dunsink Observa-
tory did not observe. anything unusual
and could offer no explanation.

Mr. Byrnes also interviewed Mr. Wil-

liam Devitt of Dun Looghaoire on the
South Dublin Coast. On March 31, at
3:30 a.m. Mr. D., who works in a loading
yard at a milk depot, saw a brilliant
white light come from the west, pass a
point in the sky above the planet Mars,
hover for a while, then “shoot up” into
space. It was so bright he could harly
look at it.

On April 7th at 4 a.m., Mr. D. was in
the same spot when he saw, in approxi-
mately the same direction as the object
on the 3ist, a bluish-while parsnip-shaped
object which “shot-up” into the sky.

UFO Observation, 30 Apr 65, Bogertown, Pa 12 May 65

Ha USAF SAFOI-CC (Mrs Hunt)
Wash DC 20330

Reference the attached letter from be rr rare reporting
an unidentified flying object on the ni of 30 Apr 65. The
following is a suggested reply:

a. The objects observed by you and your son onthe night
of 30 Apr and 1 May are very similar to many reports of birds,
such as plovers. The description of the objects as gray, to-
gether with the duration of 3-6 seconds and the distance traveled

is in accord with sightings of this nature. Birds generally
migrate at night and are visible to an observe on the ground

only during very bright moonlight or when they are close enough

to the ground to reflect light from a ground source. Birds which
reflect light from a ground source will be visible only for a very
brief period of time. Sightings of this nature, while rare, are
reported on an average of three or four times a year.

THE NUCLEUS OF SECURITY!

ecoeIn the night of April lst, Mrs. Elizabeth Chorney of Boston, Mass., was
returning home sith Ror Tasybit-old son when she made a remarkable”sighting of
@ cigar-shaped object not more than 100 yards in the air. It had four windows
and a red light, in the rear, which was alternately bright and dim. She watch-
ed as it made slow maneuvers for about 35 minutes, whereupon it was joined by
three smaller objects. Shortly thereafter, all four objects disappearad at tha
same time. Almost as soon as the UFOs were out of Sight, Mrs. Chorney sav
seven Air Force planes in the area. Said Mrs. Chorney: "I think they were from
Hanscom Field in Badford. They seemed to be searching for something!"...

UAO Scouts Town In Eas?

‘Mrs. Evelyn Chorney and her son Stev-
en, 14 of Westford, Massachusetts, were
leaving the library at 8:50 p.m. on 1
April 1965 when Mrs. C. saw an uncon-

“ventional object in the sky. There were
stars out but no moon and there were
light scattered clouds in the sky. Lights
from the city of Lowell illuminated the
clouds over that city. The air was very
still and sounds carried a great distance.
A train near Lowell 8 miles away was
heard clearly.

The library is located in the Center of
town which is on a hill and is the highest
‘elevation for miles around. Upon leaving,
Mrs. Chorney stopped on the library steps
to talk to a special policeman—then they
both spotted a bright red light and what
appeared to be four slanted windows in
“front” of it. They viewed them through
the treetops. There were no leaves on the
trees so they got a fairly clear view.

They heard no sound at any time. The
policeman said nothing, neither did Mrs.
Chorney. She made an excuse to leave,
got her son who was talking to other
children and they got into her car. She
drove to the south down the side of the
Hill where she'd seen the object, and
stopped. She spotted the object moving
very slowly, with a “wobbling” effect. It
started a slow wide turn to its left and
Mrs. Chorney started up her car again
and drove further. She and Steven got
out and viewed it for several minutes.

Watching it continue to bear left, Mrs.
Chorney drove to the High School area
on the Northeast side of the hiil about
one-quarter of the way around the hill.
She drove through the town (3 blocks)
which took only a few minutes. Swinging
into the road which leads to the high
school, they stopped the car and got out
again and viewed the object. The “win-
dow” lights were out but there were two
bright red lignts, one on each end of the
cigar-shaped craft. The iights constantly
dimmed and brightened alternately.

As the object moved past the high
school, the red lights went out and a
light which gave the appearance of a
straight vertical line, appeared just “in-
side of the end” of the object and it
blinked on and off very fast for about 20
seconds. As the craft completed the end
of its S-shaped route, and appeared under
the cloud cover over the Lowell area, the
blinking light stopped and the red lights
began pulsating again. Moving very slow-
ly over the Lowell area the cigar-shape
could be seen very clearly. It was dark
—almost biick. It moved on into the
southeast and faded out of sight.

To their right toward the end of the
sighting, the observers saw three bright

red round pulsating objects. When the
big cigar-shaped object headed toward
Boston, the small lights moved in the
same direction. They also disappeared.

The entire sighting lasted between 30
and 40 minutes, after which Mrs. Chor-
ney returned home, about 2 minutes from
the center of Westford.

The Chorneys then saw aircraft circl-
ing Westford and they continued to do
so for about an hour. Mrs. Chorney

stipulated that no conventional aircraft
were seen in the whole area during the
time of the sighting.

We feel Mrs. Chorney is an extraordin-

detailed sighting reports we have receiv-

Bishop for a complete investigation.

Wailing Light In Washington

“It was like a Science-fiction thing you
see on TV,” said Donald Peterson of
Seattle, Washington, of the object he,
his wife and another couple observed
while staying at the Peterson’s cabin on

Whidbey Island, Washington.

On the night of the 3rd of April 1965
the two couples were outside when they
heard a wailing noise like a dog howling.
“It is usually so quiet up there that we
noticed at once,” Peterson told reporters
later.

Peterson first saw a reflection in the
water, then looked up and saw a bright
object apparently hovering over the Lake
in the direction of Bremerton and Olym-
ia. He looked at it through a rifle scope
tut could see no details because of its
brilliance. Peterson then shot his rifle
into the air to see if that had any effect.
It apparently didn’t. Fifteen minutes
later the bright object disappeared leav-
ing clusters of different-colored lights
behind.
