California highway inspector named Rex Heflin who took a series of Polaroid photographs of a circular object near a Marine Corps air field on August 3rd, 1965. He had copies made of these pictures, fortunately, and turned over the originals to two men who claimed to represent the North American Air Defence Command (NORAD). Later NORAD officials emphatically denied that any of their personnel had visited Heflin, and the original photos have never been located. Two years later, soon after scientists front Colorado University began their investigation of the Heflin case, he received another group of strange visitors. They appeared at his home at dusk on Wednesday, October 11th, 1967, dressed in Air Force uniforms. Because of his earlier experience, Heflin inspected their credentials carefully and wrote dowa their names and other information. They questioned him about the photos and asked him if he knew anything about the Bermuda Triangle (an area where many planes and ships have vanished). 'During the questioning, the witness says he noted a car parked in the street with indistinct lettering on the front door,' the Colorado report states. 'In the back seat could be seen a figure and violet (not blue) glow, which the witness attributed to instru- ment dials. He believed he was being photographed or recorded In the meantime his FM multiples radio was playing in the living room and during the questioning it made several loud audible pops.* Dr James E. McDonald, a meterologist from the University of Arizona, and other investigators later tried to check out the identity of these visitors. Again, they drew a complete blank. Despite their credentials and uniforms, these men were apparently imposters. Numerous other witness have also reported visits from men in big black cars, usually Cadillacs, with peculiar purplish glows lighting their interiors. There are even a number of witnesses who claim to have been temporarily kidnapped in such automobiles. They have described strange psychedelic lights on the dashboards which caused them to fall into hypnotic trances. Some of these phantom vehicles have a special insignia printed on their doors - a triangle with a bolt of lightning passing through it. In other cases witnesses said the symbol was the classic triangle with an eye - the ancient symbol for the deity — and the MIB identified themselves as ‘agents for the Nation of the Third Eye." Such stories are rarely given wide circulation and are almost never published. So it is quite interesting that so many far-flung witnesses manage to come up with the same identical details. One of the first clues that a UFO flap was about to break on Long Island in the spring of 1967 was a series of random reports describing strange Oriental or Gipsy-like entities parading across people's lawns in the middle of the night. One man living on an isolated farm near Melville, New York, said he saw a metallic disk hovering a few feet above one of his fields in broad daylight. A ladder was hanging down from it, he said, and as he watched, it was retraced into the object, and the whole thing flew off soundlessly. A few days later he answered a knock on his door and was surprised to see a Gipsy lady standing there. She was dressed in a long grey gown and wore sandals. Her skin was a deep olivej and her eyes had an Oriental cast. She was about 5 feet 4 Inches tall, and her hair was long and 'so black that it looked dyed*.
