Failing lights and Aerial shocks
This preview account of the 1965 scene in Latin
America closes with an important incident in America closes with important incident in
Mexico, one which readers will be quick to Mexico, one which readers will be quick to
associate in their minds with an event some six
weeks later in the United States.
The newspaper Ultima Hora of September 24 The newspaper Ultima of September 24
told how, on the previous told how, on the previous e ing, the important the important
town of Cuernayaca. 75 km. south-east of Mexico town of Cuernayaca. 75 south-east of Mexico
City, suffered three failures of electric power and
lights. The cause-a huge, luminous plate-shaped
object-was photographed, and the picture ap-
peared along with the accounts of several witnesses
who included the Governor of the City, Emilio Fmik
Riva Palacio. He, and other officials, were at a
private cinema show when the light and power
supply failed: as they cmerged from the cinema,
the whole party saw the UFO. The intense light
from this object lit up the valley around Cuerna-
vaca.
Shortly afterwards, Cuauhteroc Betanzos, a
pilot of Mexican Airways, saw the saine UFO over
Lake Tequesquitengo. Although on a routine
flight from Mexico City to Acapulco, he attempted
to approach the object, but it caused his aircraft to
suffer a series of"crazy and fearful shocks".

On the night of September 30 1965.
Ken Skinner, photographer for the Nor-
wich (Connectient) Bulletin, spotted a
UAO and photographed it. See above.
Skinner claimed the object seemed to
change color as he watched it move about
for several. minutes. "It was like a bril-
liant light bulb the center, then a
glow all around it," Skinner said. At var-
ious times it looked bluish-green, then
orange, grey and blue, Skinner reported.
Although the object seemed to be very
high in the sky it was much larger than
a star and at one point it moved across
the face of the moon, creating an effect

The photograph has been examined by
our photo analyst, John Hopf, and is con-
sidered to be authentic.

Unidentified flying objects were sighted in the Bryan
County area Sunday night - glowing red and skimming
just above tree-top level, according to witnesses.
"Maybe Mars has an ALCOA plant there, too," one
wiseacre commented.
The fleet of objects over Brazil was first seen by two
little girls. They saw four over the horizon in
daylight at Astorga, about 25 miles west of Sao Paulo.
They called three neighbors, who reported seeing 14 oth-

some object with a reddish light on too and a white light

you up; it's no laughing matter."
Stark said he called his wife over when he had the
object lined up between two houses. It hovered there, he
said, as lights from a plane passed at the same level,
then took off and disappeared.
Stark said the lights on the object were "six or eight
times brighter than a star." Stark, a pre-dental student

1. The attached information pertaining to unidentified flying object
(UFO) sightings reported in this area during the period of 31 July
through 3 August 1965 is submitted in accordance with Paragraphs 13(b)
and 14, AFR 200-2. Paragraph 1 of TIC Brief Nr 11, Volume XVI, dated
22 May 1964, stipulates that such objects as described in this report
are not to be reported as unidentified flying objeets; however, due to
the wide publicity regarding UFOs in this area, this information is
submitted in an effort to clarify the matter.
2On 31 July 1965 at 0735 Zulu (Z) hours, the initial report in this
series of reported UFOs was received in this office from Winnewood,
Oklahoma. This object was determined to be a weather balloon released
from this installation. Since that time, local news media, i.e. news- from this installation. Since that time, local news media, i.e. news-
papers, radio, and television stations, highly publicized the report papers, radio, and television stations, highly publicized the report
to the extent one local radio station held a contest to see how many
UFO reports could be reported during one evening and also held what
was rsferred to as a UFO party at their radio station on another evening.
Such publicity has generated a tremendous amount of interest in sky
watching among the populace of this state, which has resulted in a flood
of UFO reports (see attached newspaper clippings). Investigation of
these reports has revealed the UFOs as being stars, which are extremely
visible during this time of year from this location; high flyihg airoraft,
aircraft in landing patterns, and weather balloons.
3. On 1 August 1965, Harry P. Aderill. Meteorlogical Technician and
Supervisor, 6th Weather Squadron, Tinker AFB, was interviewed regarding
the UFOs reported i this area. Aderill stated his organization releases
Weather balloons twice daily, one at 1715 Z hours and one at O515 Z
hours. Aderill described the weather balloons as being light tan, brown,
or white in color, 6 to 8 feet in diameter, with radio sound equipment
attached to a 100 foot long train. According to Aderill, all weather
balloons released at night or during the hours of darkmess have a small balloons released s of darkm re a small
white light is attached on the balloon. Aderill
stated that the balloons ascend to approximately 100,O00 feet altitude, stated that the balloons altitude,
at which time they burst or develop a leak at which time they burst or develop a lea and start to descend, at start to descend, at
which time the radio sound equipment wo which time the radio sound equipment would normally begin to oscillate, ormally begin to oscillate,
which in turn would cause the parachute to oscillate. According to which in turn would cause the parachut oscillate. According to
Aderill, the light shining on the oscillating parachute would reflect Aderill, the light shining on the oscillating parachute would reflect
different shades of redish and white color. Aderill stated that if the
balloon did burst, normal descending time would be approximately forty
minutes; however, if the balloon developed a leak and did not burst, the minutes; however. if the balloon developed a leak not bursto ths

descending time would be considerably longer, depending on the extent of
the leak in the balloon, which would allow the balloon to drift to a
number of different locations, changing courses erratically, depending
on wind currents and velocity as it drifted back to the earth.
L
4. Aderill checked records and stated that the weather balloon released
by his organization at O5i5 Z hours, 31 July 1965, was tracked until
O657 Z hours, 31 July 1965, at which time the balloon was located 26
miles due south of this installation, which is approximately thirty
miles north of Winnewood. Aderill stated that the balloon was at 1oi,000
feet altitude and was drifting toward Winnewood at that time. He con-
tinued that due to wind direction, the balloon should have continued
traveling toward Winnewood while descending. traveling toward Winnewood while descending.
5. Records maintained by the 746th Aireraft Control and Warning Squadron,
Oklahoma City Air Force Station, reflect that SSgt William C. Teaney,
AF1Sz2296s, Radar Operator, was on duty and received information on the AF1SL2296s, Radar Operator, was on duty and received information on the
initial report of an unidentified flying object on 31 July 1965 at O740 Z
hours in the vicinity of Winnewood. The records indicate that an object hours in the vicinity of Winnewood. The records indicate that an object
was picked up on radar at approximately 10,Ooo feet altitude and was
tracked to within fifteen nautical miles southwest of this installation.
Radar contact was lost at 205 azimuth, twenty-nine nautical miles from
this installation, which is in the area'of the Goldsbie Airport. Position
and tracking characteristics correllated with Garswell AFB, Texas radar.
These records do not reflect any other objects in that area during that
period of time.
6. Lt Walter J. Harrison, A03131704, Chief Weather Forecaster, Detach-
ment 13, 24th Weather Squadron, Ti er AFB, was interviewed on 3 August
1965 regarding reported i his area, Harrison stated that in
this area during th July, and mid-August, there is
a transparent haze in the atmosphere that is particularly heavy. Accord-
ing to Harrison, on clear nights the haze will reflect lights and scenes
from other areas which results in unusual sightings and mirages. Harrison
concluded that this could possibly account for some of the reported
unidentified flying objects.

unidentifiable and unexplainable. stated that a number of
stars are extremely brighter than others at this time of year, also
an unusually large number of meteors are visible in this area during
the summer months. According to these conditions, plus the
temperature inversion and mirages could result in numerous reports of
UFOs by persons not familiar with the sky.
8. Floyd J. Wilson, Chief Proficiency Offi cer, RAPCON, Tinker AFB,
was contacted regarding radar markings of during the period
of 2400 Central Standard Time (CST), 31 Jui of 24o0 Central Ltime (uo1/, J1 vuly through 2400 CST,
3 August 1965. Wilson stated that his organization operates on a
twenty-four hour day basis and tracks aircraft within a forty mile
radius of this installation. Wilson was unable to produce records on radius of this installation. Wilson was unable to produce records on
records had been sent to Ft Worth, Texas. Wilson's records indicated
that during those dates a total of 1,O30 aircraft were tracked by his that during those dates a total of 1,O3o aircraft were tracked by his
organization.
9. Investigation revesled that balloons are released at the following 9. Investigation revesled that balloons are released at the following
times and locations:
a. Tinker AFB, 6th Weather Squadron. Release two balloons daily,
one at CST and 15 CST.
b. US Weather Station, Will gers Field, Oklahoma City. Release
two and one at 1715 CST.
c. US Weather Station, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Release two balloons
daily, one at and one a 300 CST.
d. Target Acquisition Battalion, Ft Sill, Lawton, Oklahoma. Release
three balloons daily at no set time; also four other organizations at
that location release balloons. The number of releases and the time
depend on the amount of artillery firing that is scheduled. All
balloons released at night are equipped with lights.
Balloons are relessed at numerous other locations in this state; Balloons are released at numerous other locations in this state;
however, only those listed above were found to have released balloons
during the dates in question.
