date. And there would have been quite a commotion if there had been a missing aircraft or an accident. As a matter of fact, I have no recollection of any missing aircraft in that area, this district, for a long, long time." So from whence came all those jet airplanes and helicopters that were seen by Police Sergeants Ben Thompson and Bobby Gordon over the Wanaque Reservoir on the night of October 11, 1966? It seems doubtful that both police officers were suffering from illusions. Yet all of the basic sources of such aircraft have been checked carefully - and they all deny their helicopters and/or jets could possibly have been flying in the area at the time Thompson and Gordon reported them there. If any reader has a suggestion about where to check out this strange situation further, we would be extremely grateful for his or her ideas. The same kind of enigma enshrouds the identity of the Government UFO investigator mentioned to me by both Sergeants Thompson and Gordon as well as by other police officers in the Wanaque and Pompton Lakes area. But after extensive research and interviews of Government personnel who would be most qualified for such an investigation, again no positive evidence was uncovered to indicate that anybody was sent on an official mission to investigate reports of that first UFO sighted above the Wanaque Reservoir on January 11, 1966. Certainly no Air Force officer gathered the UFO observers into the auditorium of Lakeland Regional High School to deride them about their sighting. Nor was any officer of the Army or Navy responsible for this situation. Such a situation, by the way, is normally outside the province of the FBI. If CIA personnel are involved - and I personally doubt this very much - they are not in the habit of agreeing to be interviewed by reporters. An example of how little the Air Force knows about the Wanaque UFO sightings was a statement made by Lt. Col. George Freeman, Chief, Civil Branch, Community Relations Div., and Pentagon spokesman for Project Blue Book. Colonel Freeman said: "We keep hearing about those Wanaque sightings and people keep writing to us about them - but we never received any report on them here in the Pentagon." Project Blue Book has no record in their files of interviews with any police officer from the Wanaque Reservoir, the Wanaque Borough or the Pompton Lakes Police Forces. If any of these police officers had been interviewed by an Air Force investigator, he must send a report of the interview in to the Blue Book Office at Wright-Patterson AFB near Dayton, Ohio. Lieutenant William Marley of Blue Book made an extensive search of the files for me while I waited on the long-distance telephone for more than a half-hour. The only report he could find that referred to the Wanaque sightings was a copy of the standard UFO reporting form filled out by Howard Ball, who was then. Suburban Editor of the Paterson Morning News. Ball had requested a copy of the form by telephone. He had never been interviewed in person by an Air Force investigator. Newsman Ball himself told me: "I don't remember any Air Force investigators coming out to interview the police here. I hope they (the Wanaque police officers) aren't mixing up the Air Force with NICAP. The NICAP did sent investigators. "The Air Force," he continued, "interviewed me by telephone - because I called them. Except for
