3. PERTINENT FACTS. Bourbon is a small community on Highway
66, approximately 75 miles southwest of St. Louis, Missouri. The
area of the sightings is approximately 2 and 1/2 miles northwest of
Highway 66, and is a rural area with homes separated by distances
of a few hundred yards to one mile. Areas around the homes have
been cleared and are maintained as lawns and/or open fields. Most
of the remaining area is in woodland.
a. Most of the sightings have occurred at the home of Mrs
The first sighting occurred on 8 February 1967, and sightings have
reoccurred almost nightly since that time until the present. Generally,
the objects appear as a reddish glowing light the size of a large
grapefruit, originating over the trees in her backyard. They some- grapefruit, originating over the trees in her backyard. They some-
times come out of the woodland itself, and as they approach the house
can be seen to increase in light intensity, changing to a brilliant
white light which bathes the area in light as though an outside house-
light had been turned on. The lights hover near the ground as if
searching for something and emit a fan shaped sweeping white light.
On occasion the objects touch the ground and give off sparks
(described as like popcorn shooting into space). The objects wander
back and forth at low level, sometimes drifting off into the trees or
over them, and again shooting straight up and disappearing.
b. The lights have distinct form, although a solid vehicle has not
been observed. Sometimes three lights appear as a triangle,
approximately five feet separating each light. On other occasions a
single light has been seen as an elongated object with legs
2

approximately three feet long protruding from all sides except toward
the back of the object. The legs can be withdrawn and extended.
The legs had white lights on the end of each one. This object emitted
a whirring noise whenever it moved, and the noise stopped whenever
it hovered. Mrs eported that she received a "beep" signal
on her TV whenever the objects were in the area. Also, the furnace
made a roaring noise and acted erraticly. She claimed that many
people in the area had complained of unusual furnance troubles.
c. On one occasion there was a strong odor of orange peel in
the outside area when the object had been sighted.
d. The objects appear regardless of the weather, being seen on
clear nights as well as during rain and sleet storms. They can be
seen shortly after dark, and sometimes stay throughout the night.
e. Mrs dog seems to sense the objects, andbarks
whenever they are in the vicinity.
f. Mrs. attends an invalid husband and is fearful of going
outside to investigate; therefore, has never attempted to approach
the objects.
g. There is a garden approximately 100 yards from Mrs
home containing rhubarb, and she claims that one one occasion the
leaves were torn and burned, and some stalks pulled out of the leaves were torn and burned, and some stalks pulled out of the
ground.
h. She has counted as many as a dozen lights at one time hovering
and flitting about her yard, in the garden and in the trees. She has
observed them with binoculars through the windows, but this did not
make them more distinct in form.
i, Mrs. i. Mrs. has been told that the area is rich in magnesium
deposits, and feels that "some foreign government is gathering the
mineral, and our government should be looking into this matter and
saving it for their own use."
3

j, Mrs. is a sister of Mrs and has seen the
objects on three occasions. She describes the lights essentially as
Mrs did. Her observations were sometime in March and
lasted up to 3 and 1/2 hours at a sighting. Otherwise much of her
comment was based on what her sister had told her. She did
emphasize that the dogs hair stood on end when the objects approached.
k. Mrs. has two boys, ages approximately 5 and 7 years,
who went out to dispose of the garbage one evening at dusk. They
came racing back to the house, stating that a luminous round object
had come down over them and then zoomed off. It flared up and
became quite bright. There was no noise at the time, but the dogs
started barking. No physical signs could be found in the area later.
This incident occurred before word had gotten around that Mrs.
hadalso seen theobjects. Later on Mrs. also saw
lights similar to those described by Mrs. They were visible
across a field in her backyard, and were in the woodland approximately
one-fourth mile, behind the house. Mrs property and that of
Mrs. Hunter ajoin with approximately one mile separating the houses.
1. The Reverend visited Mrs. home approximately
two months ago, having heard of the sightings. He, too, saw the same two months ago, having heard of the sightings. He, too, saw the same
type of single lights, which became quite bright as they hovered over type of single lights, which became quite bright as they hovered over
the garden area. They moved back and forth, at a height of 20 feet
down to 6 feet. They changed color three times, changing from red to
a greenish color and then orange. The lights became diffused when in
the orange stage, covering an area of approximately25 feet with the the orange stage, covering an area of approximately 25 feet with the
light. He observed the lights for 15 minutes and described them as
phenomenal. The Reverend
approximately six months, and although not her pastor does visit her approximately six months, and although not her pastor does visit her
home periodically. He described her as a very honest, straightforward
person, not tending to exaggerate, and having seen the lights himself
must agree with her report. must agree with herreport.
m. Mr. was a bit reticent, and had to be drawn out, but
did confirm that he had seen the lights on two occasions in Mrs.
backyard. His home is approximately 150 yards down the
road from Mrs. property.
4

n. The W live about a mile from Mrs.
on the opposite side of the road, and about 1/2 mile off the highway.
There is a junkyard across from the entrance to their side road
which can be seen from their property. About a month ago they had
guests one evening, and as they were leaving at 9:30 p.m. they
commented on the bright car headlights at the junkyard. After the
guests left the noted the lights still there and they
realized it could not be a car, as the lights moved up and down.
They would dim and then get bright again. They watched the lights
for approximately 1/2 hour and have not seen them since.
4. COMMENTS:
a. There is no doubt that these people have seen something,
and are not letting their imagination play tricks on them.
b. The area is in the country, with no street lights. The
nearest airport is at Sullivan, Missouri, six miles distant, which
is a small community and has no night time air traffic as far as is
known. There are no radio or television towers in the area. The
lights could not be sightings of planets as they move around, and
were at Various elevations. Initially, the signtings were made were at various elevations. Initially, the sightings were made
without knowledge that other people had had similar experiences.
Although there are farm ponds throughout the area, the land is
generally at same elevation and is dry and rocky. This, therefore,
should rule out swamp gas. Fireflys are also ruled out as these
sightings occurred initially in rather cold weather. sightings occurred initially in rather cold weather.
c. I was impressed by Mrs sincerity and interest in
this matter. While most of the people I spoke to were elderly, they
were not senile. They were all very rational, and were curious as were not senile. They were all very rational, and were curious as
to what this unusual phenomena might be. I feel that it is especially
significant that a minister would confirm these sightings, and could significant that a minister wouldconfirm these sightings, and could
vouch for Mrs character.

4. The witness did state that she had contacted the State Highway 4. Ihe witness aid state that she had contacted the State Highway
Patrol concerning her observations. Contact was made with the State
Highway Patrol Station, Rolla, Missouri. An incident report revealed
that a Trooper Shelton went to visit the witness on 6 March 1967 after
she had reported observing unusual objects. During his visit, the
witness pointed out to Trooper Shelton eight light configurations witness pointed out to Trooper Shelton eight light configurations

Dear ir.
We refer to your inquiry in behalf of Mr
regardingher unidentified flying object(UFo)sightings.
Within the Department of Defense the Air Force haa the
responsibility of investigating UFos reported to it and determining
whether or not these objects constitute a threat to our nationel
security. This program, Project Blue Book, is explained in the
attached brochure.
Blue Book personnel at Wright-Fatterson ir Force Ease inform
me they have not received any UFo reports from Mrs. Brume's area.
However, since February 1, l967, six reports have been received from
your State. These were from Kirksville, Holland, Kansas City, and
Springrield. Two of the reports have been evaluated as the planet Springfield. Two of the reports have been evaluated as the planet
Venus. Venus, with a stellar wagnitude at this time of yeer of -3.4, Venus. Venus, with a stellar magnitude at this time of yeer of -3.4,
is the brightest astronomical body in the western sky. The other
reports have been evaluated as possible aircrart performing various
maneuvers, refusling missions, etc. maneuvers, refueling missions, etc.
I have inclosed an FTD Form l64 which is used in officially
reporting a sighting to the Air Force. If Mrs. willcomplete will complete
this form, an attempt will be made to evaluate the sightings in her mt din be mede to evaluate the sizhtings in her
area. The form should be mailed to TDET/UFO, Headquarters FTD (AFSC),

Dear Sir:
We have been bothered with UF0s since February 8, 1967, to my knowlodge. Possibly they were here before but do to a
new dog, I know of them sineo then.
They are here every night rain, shine, or sleet. They come at 7 and stay some times as late as 5 in the morning. I
sent my report to Nicap and ask some of my neighbors ineluding our postmam to do the same which they said they would. Its
real aggravating when they fly right over the house and flood it with that piereing white light. They ran across our front
find out but neither was my company of three. lawn ground level but I wasn't brave enough to go out and
Nicap said they were trying to get Congress or I should say "seek open Congressional hearings." I hope this can be done
as it is real hard to see this every night, knowing they are as it is real hard to see this every night, knowing they are drawing something from the ground and are kept in such
complete darkness about these things. I understand that they have a metal we can't produce. If some one could watch them
work fron side to side, back & forth then up & down they could probably figure out how & why as they tell me our country
here is full of maguesium.
We had so many on the ground and in the sky you just wonder how there can be so many and our radar can't pick them up
it sure seens to me that we're not so safe. I can't seem to get help fron the highway patrol. I guess they would
them. It or they came down close to the Hunter children be at a loss as they shoot up so fast your eyes can't follow
(6 children to be exact) and they deseribe it as large ay dascrihe it as larga
round with smaller round things on top with red & piereing
white lights.
Hope you can give me some answers as I just don't know where
toturn.
please don't just brush this off as it is true and I don't
lie believe me.
Rev. &.Mrs and their daughter were here last night,
as from heat as there were no marks from stones or anything they can tell you. They found their back car window broke

U E 0 P y
Page 2
They had their car sitting in the yard, They have so many
times shot out that white light, its not so funny. Hope
you can help me some how. Mr. & Mrs. of Bourbon
and their son was here when I counted 16 and you can ask
them as that was one night when it went across our lawn.
It's not our quiet country any more. They are so different
than anything you ever seen. Will sond a stamped envelope,
hoping to hear some news, as I'm indeed serious and I don't
need the publicity.

Dear Congressman Ichord:
Thank you so much for answering ny letter. This to me
alone would make me vote as I boliove you do care what
concerns your voters. I was told by a neighbor you would
answer as you did answer her. I filled out forms for
Ni-Cpa, and then the Air Force. The Air Force did not
answer but our sky was full of planes for a week the
first of April and the UFOs aro at a minimum now. Hy
trouble hore is that I don't have a camera. My husband
had a stroke and is paralized on his right side, and we
are on his social security as I'm not yet 62 so they tell
me in order to film these things I'd havo to get a good
camera & a telescopic lens. Well wish I could but I can't
right now. Mr. and Mrs. F & their son was here
when they crossed the front of our house so I'll send them all
stamped addressed envelopes as I'm sure they will send you
the details.The children 17 yrs, 14 yrs., and 4
younger seen it and can describe it. I've seen this so many
ways its puzzlingme as I did not believe in them either until
I seen them and know there has to be seme explanation, The
only one now I can believe as they had a program on Channel 1l
at 8 p.m. Tuesday, one expert said a piece of metal was found
and its of high grade magnesium and they tell me Bourbon is
setting on lots of it.
When they are ground level they work bake & forth & side to
side, then up and down. All the time shooting out this
piercing white light, it goes like this off and on.
I watched it one night when I couldn't sleep until 2:30 a.m.
Then it was there at 4 or 4:20 until 5 a.m. then I finally Then it was there at 4 or 4:20 until 5 a.m. then I finally
slept.
I have Mr. & Mrs. , Mr ,Mrs. Ind her 3 children, ind her 3 children,
Mr. & Mrs. ,Mrs. Mrs. s children, Mrs. R and
several from St. Louis that seen them. Then there were quite
a few men that I don't have their address but works in

St. Charles but comes often. They had a tape recorder
with a funny sound but they didn't come back to tell me what
it was all about. I'll tell you one thing this past winter
it would come like the sun a little smaller, land in Hunters
woods behind us then these small red-orange things would
shoot out fron it and land every where.
Now I see them small, as big as an orange, red-orange and
some weeks white. The ones that came up the road in front
of us is largo or larger than a headlight white different
than any light we have. Then it turns into the woods across
from us. I saw this large white one in the sky when it
passed over me. I could see the lights only but it looked
like this
this was this was the
red-orange piercing white
headlight
The round one in the back was not lit but could be the larger
red one I see some times as they go any way back or front.
I heard you were speaking at Cuba a short distance from us
wish we could have seen you.

Dear Sir:
My sister Mrs. asked me to write and tell you
our experience with the UFO.
We were at ny sisters home on highway C in Bourbon, Mo.on
Tuesday Hareh 7th. I looked out the window at 6:50 p.m.
and here was this big orange objeet in the sky. I called
my sister and my husband.We watched, it was moving towards
us. My sister went to the phone called her next door neighbor
about 2 city blocks away. She told her to look out the back
window it was coming in. She had just told her this and it
was gone. It was just like it had vanished. Later in the
evening, we saw it again. It was like a bright star. We
had to leave and come back to St. Louis. They later came
down on the ground after we left and stayed until 2 a.m.
Then 2 weeks later we went out again. It was a cloudy day
so we missed it coming in but we did see six on the ground.
They move from place to place, This night they had a very
loud hum.
I didn't sleep after I saw this, was worried about my sister.
She and her husband who has had a stroke are alone out there.
There has been quite a few people that has seen this thing.
I called the Highway Patrol. They told me they had reports
from Rolla but none at Bourbon. All they did was drive by.
Then I called the airport in St. Louis. They told me to call
Scott Air Force Base. This I did and did I ever get a. run Scott Air Force Base. This I did and did I ever get a run
around. A man answered you have the wrong dept. Call the
same number but ask for this dept. I told him it was toll same number but ask for this dept. I told him it was toll
and asked him to transfer the call. "I'll try." I was
connected with the second dept a man answered, you have to talk connected with the second dept a man answered, vou have to talk
toMr. and he isn't in.Call back. I told him
to have him call me back. Oh! I think he is in the next
office. Hold on. This I did, so another man answered. He
listened to my story, then he told me to report it to the
field that is nearest to her home which is Sedalia, Mo.

主 R U E C
Page 2
Then I got mad, told him ny sister was 70 miles wost of
St. Louis, that Sedalia is much, much farthor as I visited
relatives many times at Sedalia, so Seott Air Force Ease
was the closest one. I can't do a thing for you, so this
is the way this ended.
I called KSD-Ty in St. Louis. This was too far from St. Louis
yet one of their men was in Texas covering something.
It doesn't seem that no one is interested at all. All they
would have had to do is spend an evening or two and they
would have seen it.
For a month they were out thero most evory night. They still
come, but not as often as they have been.
This has been going on almost 3 months, you would sure think
someone would be interested enough to check in to it.

1. On Harch 5, l967, Troop I Rolla advised reporting officer that they hed re-
ceived a letter fron a M who lives about two andone-half miles
northwest of Bourbon, Missouri, on Route "C". She stated in the letter that
she had been seeing lights in the woods behind her house and acress the road
and she seemed to think that they were unidentified flying objeets.
2. Reporting officer contacted lirs the afternoon ofMarch 5, 1967,
and she talked for sometine about the lights. She showed this officer where they
had been seen and just what they did. She stated the first time she saw them to they did. She staced the lirst time she saw thom
they landed in the woods behind her house. She stated that there was one about
the size of a dinner plate and after the one landed several smaller ones would
leave it. The small ones were about the size of a baseball. The small ohes
would then go back to the large one and they would leave. The first time they
were seen was February 8, 1967, and she stated she had seen them almost every
night since. She also stated that several other people had seen them, including the children of
ed the who live directly behind her. This officer contact- who live direetly behind her. This officer contact-

teen years old. They stated they were carrying out some trash one afterneon late teen years old. They stated they were carrying out some trash one afterneon late

sky. They all dropped their trash and ran into the house. They have not seen
any more. any more.
3. The night of March 6, 1967, this officer went back to the heme of Mrs. Brune 3. The night of March 6, 1967, this officer went back to the heme of Mrs. Brine
and observed the aree for about two hours. During this time officer observed and cbserved the aree for about two hours. During this time officer obsemed
sight airplanes, ell flying from east to west or west to east. They have flash-
ing red, green and white lights. Mrs pointed to one and said, "There is
one now."
4. It is the opinion of this officer that Mrs. lives in a flight path and
what she is sseing is airplanes. When the airplanes are off some distance, they
appear to be coming through the woods. Mrs. is getting up in years and
sinee she has been watching this for so long, this officer feels that her imagi-
nation is contributing to some of the things she sees.

Conments:
From the majority of the descriptions it is difficult to determine
exactly what (if only one object) was responsible for the sightings.
The witnesses have seen strange lights continually sinee the first
of Feb 67; however, no specific dates and times are available except
the Sth of Feb. 67. The general descriptions of the objects are not
consistent with that of an aircraft observation, since the lights
were reported to be quite low near the ground. The witness did
report that the lights appeared to come from the woods. There are
two air refueling tracks in the area, plus a high speed low level
training route. It dces not appear that satellites were responsible
for the sightings. The lights were reported to be seen in all dir-
ections. Also the lights have been seen in all weather conditions.
State Trooper Shelton had the prime witness point out 8 UFOs to
him on 6 March 67. The trooper said the lights were nothing more
than aireraft. These aireraft would come over the woods giving the
appearance of lights coming up from the woods.
As mentioned above it is not clear at all as to what was seen
on a specific date. Thus, it is extremely difficult to reach a positive
identification of the lights. Since there was a lack of definite dates,
and the information available does not lend itself to reaching a

ceived a letter frem a Mrs who lives about two and one-half miles
northwest of Bourbon, Mssouri, on Route "C". She stated in the letter that
she had been seeing lights in the woods behind her house end across the read
and she seemed to think that they were unidentified flying objeets.
2. Reporting officer contacted lirs the aftermoon of Merch 5, 1967,
and she talked for semetime about the lights. She showed this officer where they
had been seen and just what they did. She stated the first time she saw them
they landed in the woods behind her house. She stated that there was one about
the size of a dinner plate and after the one landed several smaller cnes would
leave it. The small ones were about the size of a baseball. The small ohes
would then go back to the large cne and they would leave. The first time they
were seen was February 8, 1967, and she stated she had seen them almost every
night since. She also stated that several other people had seen them, including night since. She also stated that severel other people had seen them, including
the children of the children of who live directly behind her. This officer contact-
ed the   amily and talked with the six children ranging from five to seven- ed the amily and talked with the six children ranging from five to seven-
teen years old. They stated they were carrying out some trash one afterneon late

ing red, green and white lights. Mrs. ing red, green and white lights. Mrs. pointed to one and said, "There is
one now."

what she is secing is airplanes. When the eirplanes are off some distance, they
appear to be coming through the woods. Mrs. wwis getting up in years and
sinee she has been watching this for so long, tris officer feels that her imagi-
nation is contributing to some of the things she sees.
