MEMO FOR THE RECORD 24 October 1968
Subject: UFO Observation, Minot AFB, North Dakota, 24 October 1968
At about 173O hours the FrD Duty Officer called Lt Marano and said that they had
a pretty important UFO sighting from Minot AFB. I (Lt Marano) asked him what
it was about and he said the only information he had was that the crew of a
B-52 had sighted and photographed an UFO and that the Base Commander and
Major General Nichols of the 15th Air Force were both interested. I got
back to the office at about 1745 hours, called Col Quintanilla and told him
of the sighting, then called Minot and talked to Lt Col Werlich, the Uvo
investigator, 897-1850 ext 3020 or 2231.
I asked him if he wanted immediate reaction from our office and he said no, that
he hadn't necessarily wanted us to call him back that night and that our
Duty Orficer was really more excited than he was. However, since it was such
an unusual sighting he wanted to know if we could halp him in any way.
I asked him the details of the sighting and he gave them.
At about o300 hours local, a B-52 that was about 39 miles northwest of Minot
AFB and was making practice penetrations sighted an unidentified blip on their
radar. Initlally the target traveled approximately 2 mile in 3 sec or at about
3,ooo mi/hr. After passing from the right to the left of the plane it assumed
a position off the left wing of the 52. The blip stayed off the left wing for
approximately 20 miles at which point it broke off. Scope photographs
were taken. When the target was close to the B-52 neither of the two transmitters
in the B-52 would operate properly but when it brok_off both returned to normal
function.

At about this time a missile maintenance man called in and reported sighting
a bright orangish-red object. The object was hovering at about looo ft or
so, and had a sound similar to a jet engine. The observer had stopped his car,
but he then started it up again. As he started to move the ob,ject followed him
then accelerated and appeared to stop at about 6 - 8 miles away. The
observer shortly afterward lost sight of it.
In respnse to the maintenance man's call the B-52, which had continued its
penetration run, was vectored toward the visual whichwas about lo mile
northwest of the base. The B-52 confirmed having sighted a bright light of
some type that appeared to be hovering just over or on the ground.
Fourteen other people in separate locations also reported sighting a similar
object. Also, at this approximate time, security alarm for one of the sites
was activated. This was an alarm for both the outer and inner ring. When
guards arrived st the scene they found that the outer door was open and the
combination lock on the inner door had been moved. The weather was generally
misty, the temperature was 28 - 29 deg F and the wind 5 - l0 knots.
He did not have all the information such as: Whether it had been painted by
the radars at the contrel tower? If control tower personnel had sighted anything
unusual? If he had computed the azimuth and elevation from the fourteen witnes-
ses to determine if they were looking at the same object or if they could have
been possibly looking at stellar bodies? He didn't know whether anyone had
Seen a physical object or if they had just seen lights. Also, Col Werlich
did not have an exact time sequence for the events. Col Quintanilla told
Col W_rlich that without this information there wasn't too much we could do.
Col Weclich agreed and sald that he would gather the information.

MEMO FOR THE FECORD
SUBJECT: 24 Oct 68 UFO Sighting from Minot AFB, N. D.
At ll:15. 28 Oct 68, Sgt Jonaa recaived a call from Col Weyant, HQ SAC,
Offutt AFB, Nebr.
He wantad to kacw how we received the UFo report from Minot AFB. Sg
Jones informed ibx him it was received by phone.
Wanted to know what interest we take in a report like this and what we
do when we receiva tha report. Sgt Jonea told him it should have been
given to the Uro Investigator at Minot, but since it was phoned into
Wright-Patterson, Lt Marano would gat in-touch with the Uro Investigator
at Minot. Col Weyant then said,"the investigator would handle it in
accordance with AFR 8o-l7". Sgt Jones told him that was right.
Col Weyant then said, "then you can't do anything until you recaive
their report". Sgt Jones said, thats right.
Col Woyant also wanted to know if there was any other reports for that
period of time frcm that area, Sgt Jones told him to the best of hia
knowledge, he didn't think there was. Col Weyant said, who ever is
handling the report to givs him a call at 5556/4236, Sgt Jones
informed that would be Lt Marano.

MEMO FOR THE RECORD 28 Oct 68
Subj: Call fm Col Wyatt, SAC Hqs
At 1250 hours, 28 Oct 68, Col Wyatt, called Lt Marano and wanted to know if
we (Lt Marano) had received any indication of any other reports from Minot.
Lt Marano informed him that we haven't received any other reports from that area.
We do get a copy of reports in accordance with AFR 8o-l7. Lt Marano told
Col Wyatt that Col Werlich at Minot was doing the investigation. Col
Werlich had called the Duty Officer at Wright-Patterson who in turned called
Lt Marano and he (Lt M) called Col Cuintanilla and they both called Col Werlich
back and Col Werlich said he would do the investigation. Col Wyatt said he was
trying to determine whether AD c had any known phenomena on radar. Col Wyatt
asked Lt Marano if we ever participated in any investigations. Very seldom
do we ever go out in the field. As far as Lt Marano was concerned Col
Werlich was quite competent and he didn't feel that Col Werlich needed any
additional help at this time. Col Wyatt said he gave Col Werlich the guidance
and he guessed that Col Werlich got our telephone number out of the regulation.
Col Wyatt said he felt that we couldn't give him any more information so he
ended the conversation .

MEMO FOR THE RECORD 29 October 1968
Subject: UFo Sighting, 24 Oct 68, Minot AFB
On 29 October 1968, at O945, Lt Marano called Minot AFB and asked for
Col Werlich. It seems that Col Werlich is flying this morning so I
talked to Mr ac. Mr-e said that he thought that Col Werlich
had prepared the UFo report and it was either sent out this morning of would
be sent out today.

MEMO FOR THE RECORD 30 October 1968
Subj: Need for Additional Info on Minot Sightings
At O9oo hours, Lt Marano called Minot AFB, HaseOps, however, Col Werlich
was flying so Lt Marano spoke with Sgt Hoy. Lt Marano requested that
Sgt Hoy have Col Werlich obtain the following information and TWX it to our
office.
Have the navigator accompany someone and go out and interyiew the
individual observers at the missile sites. Information that is needed is:
2. Duration 1. When first observed
3. Course 4. Description
5. Az and eley when first seen 6. Az and elev when last seen
7. Could they also see stars
Obtain statements from aircraft personnel to include:
1. Speed of B-52 during radar paint 2. Tize, duration of aircraft radar sighting
3. Time, duration and position of aircraft for visual sighting. 4. Why did they feel the light was an Uro, could it actually
have been a car, ete on the ground. Did the ground observers see
5. Is there more thancne radar on B-52 (EcM) Did it paint anything? the airplane and the UFo both at the same time?
Was there an EcM operator on board, was he using his equipment?
Other: Did RApcoN paint anyurOs while painting the aircraft.
What other radars are in the area? Did they paint any unidentified
targets? Are there sage sites in area?
We need a statement that the missile sites had been broken into before and
what results.
Did ground maintenance check the equipment out after the Ba52 landed ?

The following is to be sent to us by mail.
Map of area Plot of flight path of B-52 from O258 hours local, till landing, with time
sequence markings on plot.
AF Form ll7 from each observer. Could be completed by observers at the
time they are interviewed.
Copies of the Scope Photos.

MEMO FOR THE RECORD 30 October 1968
Subj: Telephone conversation with Col Pullen, Hq SAC
On 29 October 1968 at 1530 hours, Col Cuintanilla telephone Col Pullen, Hq SAC,
autovan 631-3600 (regular ext 2828, however he was at 4336). Col Pullen wanted a
brier run down on the Minot sightings. Col Cuintanilla told Col Pullen that he
thought that the aircraft transmission receiver might also have caused the blip since it
occurred for only a short period of time. The weather could have been a factor since
there was an inversion. Also, the complete sighting is listed as having occurred for
almost two hours and fifteen minutes. I feel that some of the men were looking at
celestial bodies because of the inversion, causing scintillation. There were a number
of stars in the area at the time. Col Pullen said he would like to receive a preliminary
report giving a quick look. Col Quintanilla told him he would however we have to get the
times. This business of two hours os too long to make an accurate report. There was an
inversion between ? and 5 and haze. I'm (Col Guintanilla) pretty sure it was either caused
by an internal radar malfunction that also caused the blip or because of the inversion
he might have also picked up an anomalous blip. Unfortunately, Col Werlich wasn't
able to have them pull a quick inspection of the set. Col Pullen wanted to know if we
sent anybody up there to investigate the sighting. We did not send anybody up because I only
have four people on my staff, myself, an assistant, a secretary and an admin sergeant. I
talked to Col Werlich for over thirty minutes and since this didn't appear to unusual I
didn't send anyone up. Col Pullen requested that Col Quintanilla send a preliminary report
so that he could give it to General Stewart to get this thing simmered down. Sand it
SSO SAC, attention Col Pullen. He requested thatCol Quintanilla hit a little heavy on
what hashappened to other aircraft on occasions like this, this would help to ph y the
issue down.

MEMO FOR THE RECORD 1 November 1963
Subj: Telephone conversation of 31 Oct 68, Col Werlich - Lt Marano
Col Werlich had the people fill out the AF Forms ll7, of course, he
said, I monitored them while they filled them out, but I can't
see where a navigator can halp. What I did was take a blotter
to get the angles and show them what 60,90 ete angles were.
The deseriptions of this will take care of these sightings also.
The courese were quite varied over a couple of hours and the
aircraft took many courses. It will be interesting to cross check
its path with the RApcon versus the ground observers. Most of
the original sightings were of the aircraft.
The one we (Lt Marano) are mainly interested is the one that cannot
be identified. The one of radar and the aircraft correlated
pretty well. Col Werlich said Lt Marano should get a section map
of the area. Base Ops at Wright-Patterson has hundreds of the
sectional maps of the Minot area.
Look on mnap, half way down the runway, TAccAn, 320 radius, 16
nautical miles. This is where aircraft saw the object. There's
farm fields there. There is nothing there that would produce
this, type of light. The same for O'Connar and Nicely from
November 7 which is near Greno. I have gone over that are with
a chopper. This weekend I would like to go down with a geiger
counter and go down to the OScAR 7 break-in. I (Col Werlich)

think you will find that the most information comes from Airman
O'Conner and Isley, and an aircraft insturctor. Much of their
discussion and description incorporates the activity of the E-52.
It was only at the end that I was unable to pin point the fact
that they did observe a light source and the B-52. You can
see the lights of the base for at least SO miles away. I (Col W)
asked if they saw the B-52 come towards the object. We know
the 52 got real close to it. Did they see the object on the
ground? (Lt M asked). They were able to see a light source
while the 52 got in real close then it disappeared.
Lt Marano asked if it was going with the wind and explained
how we have had trouble with hot air balloons and he gave the
deseription, duration, ete.
Col Werlich informed Lt Marano that if he was familiar with
the geography he woulid wee why this wouldn't be possible.
There must be fonr or five farm houses within a ten miles radius
and Grano with six to ten small dwellings and the area is
deserted at this time of the morning. I doubt that there would
be any activity like this, The sighting was about eleven miles
from November 7 site. This is a sensitive subject. Anybody
that could unlock the padlock wouldn't be a prankster from the
farm areas. There are keys for these padlocks and it's hard to
2

judge how many keys have been made. It looks like a Navy hatch
and underneath is the combination lock. Pranksters just could't
go and open it. The person, if it was a person, would have to
know how to open it. We have had about three occurrences of this
in the last two or three years doing this. All three of these
cases were traced back to AP's. Guys who had been in the service
on these areas. It is not a serious offense. 99 chances out
of loo, that if a person, a human being, accomgished this
thing then it had to be somebody who had a key to the padlock.
Lt Marano told Col Werlich that we have no evidence though
that the UFo events did this. Col Werlich agreed but said
that a Lieutenant examined the area the next day and could
find no evidence of cars, tire tracks, footprints, etc. Col
Werlich said he didn't know if an examination investigation
was going on or not but fel: they probably were looking into it. Lt
Marano asked him to get the results of their investigation. Col
Werlich said he was trying to take a postive approach towards
this investigation. Almost 80 per cent were looking at the
B 52. If you would take a look at an aircraft at 20,ooo ft,
then you wouldn't sea mucn but I'm am to place logic in that
it was there and what they saw was there. There is enough there
that it is worth looking at. Nobody can definitely say that
these people definitely saw the aircraft, but within reason
they probably saw it. Lt Marano told Col Werlich that SAC
was giving us trouble because they wanted to know what we are
3

doing. Thursday afternoon I (Col Werlich) called, with the
personal opinion that we needed technical assistance at that
time and that is what we requested and we didn't get it and
we have tried to do what we could. Gen Hollingsworth is
interested.
Anyway, I'm sending the RAPCON TAPES, PHOTOS, and an overlay
showing a movement of the aircraft, deseription of the aircraft
movement prior to VFR. Aircraft was going through maneuvers
and it would be most impossible to track it perfectly cquse he
was doing steep turns, "S" turns, ete. Now time and duration
of the sighting was in my message. Speed of the B-52 was in the
TWX. I only stated one ralar in the message because there was
only one radar set. The ECm equipment hadm't been used.
RAPCon was painting, IFF eguipment was operating in the airplane.
It's a fairly good size blip. Every time it sweeps it
shows the blip. The ooject would have been covered by the blip.
There is a Sage site to the south. Theydo not remember having any
unidentiried paints. The only one I have is the one on the plane
The unusual part is the B-52 was in the middle of a sentence
and the voice just quit transmitting right in the middle of
the word. Because we had an accident a couple of weeks ago
We were quite interested. Ground control asked them if they
had any trouble to give Moday Squawk. The airplane changed
both UhF and neither would transmit but they could receive,
and each time to show that the could receive they hit the
ldond sguawk whleh would last for thirty serodds,aaek tls.

There was quite a bit of this. The navigator was the paint
disappear as fast as it appeared. Mu personal opinion is
that it couldn't be a malfunction because they transnitted
before and afterwards. The aircraft was not cheeked out
afterwards because the transmission was working. I don't
know if the heavy haze would have been enough to blank
out the transmission. Lt Marano explained that we do not have
a good time sequence. Col Werlich said he tried to start
with the first things first in his TwX. The most important
things are the AF Forms ll7 and the transcription with RAPcoN. Lt
Marano then explained about the many astronomical bodies
that wete over the area at the time and when there is quite
an inversion they are magnified even greater. Col Werlich
said some of the observers could see stars and others couldn't.
We had a Ragged Ann type of cover. So many layers of haze,
quite a layer of haze. Col Werlich then put Sgt Dickson from
the weather office on the telephone. Sgt Dickson was sending us
complate weather data, however, he said we should be able to
obtain the weather from the base weather office at Wright-
Patterson since they get it as it comes off the wires. The
weather data Sgt Dickson used was obtained from Glasgow.
The following data was given:
2000 ft alt temperature +h cent Due point -33° cent
3200 10.5 0 -20
5000 9 0 0o
8500 1 0 -50
11,500 1t -n130

There was a pretty good temperature inversion.
Col Werlich said he would send an overlay for the 2o0 series
map chart which is used by the bomb people in the targetting
section and the people over at W-P should have the master chart.
The chart is classified so to save time, signatures, etc, Col
Werlich is just sending the overlay so that we can put it
over the chart that the Bomb people here. See the Bomo Nav
targetting people for the 2o0 series chart.
Gen Hollingsworth has been given all the information that Col
Werlich obtained. Col Werlich said that Gen Hollingsworth
was briefing Gen Compton and this briefing was probably going
on at the time that Col Werlich was speaking with Lt Marano
(time was approx 2 pm, EST, 3l Oet). Col Werlich said that you
had to realize that there is only one person looking at the
radar sent. le didn't take seope photos at first until the
pilot said why don't you take some photos. This was towards
the end, They had it visually all the way down. Each scope
photos is three seconds. There is nothing of value in the
conversation. The blip changes shape, round, rectangular, etc.
Col Werlich said he would be flying tomorrow and Monday. Col
Werlich said he had done tha initial investigation in accordance
with the regulation and I'm at the limit of my capabilities.
Col Werlich I can send supplemental data snd will if we make
oor desires known and inform what specitic informatlon we
need. Col Werlich sald we were hoping for technical assistance
6

and we didn't get it. Lt Marano told Col Werlich we felt that
he was doing an adequate job as far as technical data. Col
Werlich said thes was his first report and did't know how
to ask questions or anything and he had spent too much time
on it already.

MEMO FOR THE RECORD 1 Novemoer 1968
Talked to Mr Goff, TDPA, who is quite familiar with air-borne radars. Mr Goff said
that from the evidenee avadlable at this time it would appear to him that the
sightings may have been precipitated by some type of ionized air plasma similar to ball light.
ning. He felt that a plasma could account for the radar blip, loss of transmission and
some of the visual sightings. The entry of the missile site is being investigated by
local authorities and with the information at our disposal at this time no explanation
is offerred.

On 24 Oct 68 the following personnel at the listed LoF's sited the UFo
at times indicated.

At O3oS hours the initial report was received from a maintenance team
enroute from Nov-8 to Nov-7. An Alc O'connor was the maintenance Team
Chief and he stated that all members of the team observed the lighted
objeot. They further stated that it was reddish orange in color, a very
large object, with flashing green and white lights. After they entered
N-7 IF the object came directly over head with the sound of jet engines.
SSgt Bond the FSC at Nov Flt stated that the object which looked to him
as the sun, came near the handred antenna at Nov-l. It then moved to the
right and he bent the SAT out to check and see what it was. The object
then moved about one mile away with the Nov SAT following. They came
within  mile from where it appeared to be landing. When it reached
surface the lights became dimmer and finally went out. After this thay
could see nothing. SSgt Smith at Oscar-l saw the objeot saperate in two
parts and go in oposlte directions and return and pass under each other.
At this time Julelt Flt and Mike Flt Team ohserved the same things and
described it the same way. The approzimate grid coordinate of the
apparent landing was at Aa-43. The entire observation period as near as can be
determined was about 45 minutes.

RESUME
Airman Isley stated thet he observed the object fron Oo3o to
O430, for 3 to 4 hours. It was seen south of his position, first
being seen in the east and dlsappearing in the southeast. The
lights looked like the lights of a jet aircraft and it came within
hearing distance twice. The sound was that of jet engines.
During the period of observation it went out of sight a few times
and then reappeared. At one time he sighted two objects. Also
sighted B-52 on its first pass.
Alc O'Conner, who was with Airman Isley, stated that he saw
the UFO from 0230 to 0345 hours. (No explanation for conflict in
duration.) The light was seen moving in various directions in the
southern skies. The object appeared as a self-luminous big ball
of white light that seemed to change to a green light, then later
to a dim amber color. Heard a noise similar to that of a jet
aircraft. A B-52 in the area was asked to check out the sighting
and was saen west of the object. The ooject did not appear again
after the B-52 made its first pass (52 made pass at about
0335 hours).
AlC Jablonski, who was dispatched by SSgt Bond to November 1
with Airman Isley and Alc O'Conner, reported that he sighted the
object for two hours off and on. The object was self luminous with
glowing orange-red, white, and greenish alternating and at times
FEL2

combinations could be seen. Unen first dispatched, sighted another
object exactly the same as that which appeared out of the east and
moved toward the other. A B-52 was diverted to the general area.
First seen and heard about 35 minutes after first sighting of
object. Object stayed basically to the southeast, while B-52 was
in southwesterly position.
AlC Adams, who was dispatched with Alc Jablonski, also stated
that he sighted the object for about two hours in the southern
skies. The UFo seemed to assuma a stationary position, first in
a hovering position, then it would speed up. The reddish orange
light kept changing white and occasionally green. B-52 bomber
heard approximately 45 minutes after seeing UFO. B-52 west and
much higher than Uro.
SSgt Bond sighted the object in the southern skies for two
hours twenty-six minutes. The UrO appeared as a point of light.
It appeared about the same as landing lights on the B-52 which was
diverted to the area, except for the flashing red lights on the B-52.
SSgt Smith sighted the UFO from O230 to O4l5 hours. It was
seen primarily in the south-southwest off and on for l hour 15 minutes.
The object appeared as though a star would appear on the horizon
on a clear night. The phenozenon appeared to be a reddish burnt
orange. SSgt Smith saw it fade and change as a star might twinkle.
2

He also noticed a slight hint of green. The object resembled the
planet Mars, in color and size, as it rises on the horizon.
Major Partin, the pilot of the B-52, visually sighted an
unidentified light from O430 till O435 hours local. It appeared
as a bright orange ball of light about l5 miles away in the west-
northwest, and was either on the ground or slightly above the ground.
The light remained stationary as he flew toward it. He turned onto
base leg about one mile south of the light and was above it. The
light did not move during this time.
No detailed information was submitted to this office relative
to the sightings of Alc Bajgiar, Alc Vennedall, SSgt Wagla, Alc Allis,
Alc Derr, SSgt Halko, Alc Jenkins, and AlC Richardson. Nor was
any information submitted with regards to the possible visual
observation by aircraft at o335 hours local, radar paint by weathers
radar at O352, or exact time when the B-52 first entered the area
of the sightings.

DISCUSSION OF BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Weather conditions were such that there was haze and scattered
clouds in the area of the sighting. There was also a temperature
inversion at the 2 - 5,ooo ft altitude level. Stars could be
seen and this was indicated in all the AF Forms ll7 submitted to
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
A.
1. Sirius was the brightest astronomical object in the
skies during the period of the sightings. It has a stellar
magnitude of -l.58, has characteristic colors of blue-red-white-green,
and would have been visible in the southeastern sky during most of
the sightings. (See Atch #1)
2. The scintillation of Sirius would have been increased
by the temperature inversion.
3- Common celestial objects when seen through haze are
often misiaterpreted. (See Atch #②)
4. Clouds passing in front of the star would have caused
it to disappear and then reappear.
5. Stationary lights when seen against a black background
can appear to move. This process is called autokinesis. (See Atch #3)
B.
1. Initial report indicated a simultaneous ground visual
and air visual at about O335 local. This was not substantiated by
the pilot's form ll7. The pilot indicated he sighted an unidentified
light at about O435 local.
Ath

2. The B-52 arrived in the area on a 50 nautical mile
radius clearance and began various manauvers including a vertical
"S" pattern. This took place at almost the same time as the first
ground sighting- It is entirely possible that the initial sighting
and the subsequent activities of the object were in fact the B-52
accomplishing upper airwork. Later sightings of bright lights
and flashing green and white lights, accompanied by a low jet
engine sound, correlate with the B-52 making a VoR penetration,
low approach, and missed approach. Portions of the maneuver are
accomplished with the aircraft landing lights on. The hase layered
cloud conditions could have diffused light sources and cade
identification difficult (ref TWX from Lt Col Werlich).
3. At O435 local, the pilot or the B-52 sighted a bright
light in the west-northwest on or near the ground. At O435 Vega
was on the horizon at azizuth 345 degrees.
C.
1. Plasmas can effect electrical equipment and can also
be painted on radar.
2. Plasmas, such as ball lightaing, can occur in clear
weather as well as stormy weather.
3. Plasmas, such as ball lightning, can be seen visually
