We think it would be well for your 4602nd people
|
|||
|
in the ZI, to discuss a particular sighting with the
|
|||
|
public or press, anytime the object can be identified.
|
|||
|
Meaning, if they can verify the object as a balloon,
|
|||
|
aircraft, helicopter, etc., go ahead and inform interested
|
|||
|
parties. However, for those times where the object is not
|
|||
|
explainable, it would be well to advise your people to say
|
|||
|
something on this order, "The information on this sighting
|
|||
|
will be analyzed by the Air Technical Intelligence Center
|
|||
|
at Dayton, Ohio", and leave it go at that. If your people
|
|||
|
get into analyzing the 10-20% area to the public, every
|
|||
|
news media across the country will pick up the story.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
For your information, we have requested ATIC to sub-
|
|||
|
mit to this office, a report that can be released to the
|
|||
|
public. If you desire we could forward to your office a
|
|||
|
copy of this report, that could be used by your agency,
|
|||
|
for release purposes.

2. The reported incident happened as follows: Army Helicopter 68-15444 was
|
|||
|
returning from Columbus, Ohio to Cleveland, Ohio and at 2305 hours east,
|
|||
|
south east of Mansfield Airport in the vicinity of Mansfield, Ohio while
|
|||
|
flying at an altitude of 2500 feet and on a heading of 030 degrees, SSG
|
|||
|
Yanacsek observed a red light on the east horizon,90 drgrees to the flight
|
|||
|
path of the helicopter. Approximately 30 seconds later, SSG Yanacsek
|
|||
|
indicated the object was converging on the helicopter at the same altitude
|
|||
|
at a airspeed in excess of 600 knots and on a midair collision heading.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Cpt Coyne observed the converging object, took over the controls of the
|
|||
|
aircraft and initiated a power descent from 2500 feet to 1700 feet to
|
|||
|
avoid impact with the object. A radio call was initiated to Mansfield
|
|||
|
Tower who acknowledged the helicopter and was asked by CPT Coyne if there
|
|||
|
were any high performance aircraft flying in the vicinity of Mansfield
|
|||
|
Airport however there was no response received from the tower. The crew
|
|||
|
expected impact from the object instead, the object was observed to
|
|||
|
hesistate momontarily over the helicopter and then slowly continued on a
|
|||
|
westerly course accelerating at a high rate of speed, clear west of
|
|||
|
Mansfield Airport then turn 45 degree heading to the Northwest.
|
|||
|
Cpt Coyne indicated the altimeter read a 1000 fpm olimp and read 3500 feet
|
|||
|
with the collective in the full down position. The aircraft was returned
|
|||
|
to 2500 feet by CPT Coyne and flown back to Cleveland, Ohio. The flight

THAT THEY HAD SEEN STRANGE OBJECTS IN THE SKY. SOME REPORTED A KIND OF
|
|||
|
BIRD-LIKE OBJECT WHILE OTHERS REPORTED A HELICOPTER WITH A LIGHT ON.
|
|||
|
THERE WERE NO HELICOPTERS AIRBORNE AT THAT TIME.------------------------
|
|||
|
------------------------- AFTER. HE TOLD THE CITIZEN IT WAS ONLY STARS
|
|||
|
AND HAD TALKED TO MEHRABAD TOWER HE DECIDED TO LOOK FOR HIMSELF. HE
|
|||
|
NOTICED AN OBJECT IN THE SKY SIMILAR TO A STAR BIGGER AND BRIGHTER. HE
|
|||
|
DECIDED TO SCRAMBLE AN F-4 FROM SHAHROKHI AFB TO INVESTIGATE.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
B. AT 0130 HRS ON THE 19TH THE F-4 TOOK OFF AND PROCEEDED TO A POINT
|
|||
|
ABOUT 40 NM NORTH OF TEHRAN. DUE TO ITS BRILLIANCE THE OBJECT WAS
|
|||
|
EASILY VISIBLE FROM 70 MILES AWAY. AS THE F-4 APPROACHED A RANGE OF 25
|
|||
|
NH HE LOST ALL INSTRUMENTATION AND COMMUNICTIONS (UHF AND INTERCOM).
|
|||
|
HE BROKE OFF THE INTERCEPT AND HEADED BACK TO SHAHROKHI. WHEN THE F-4
|
|||
|
TURNED AWAY FROM THE OBJECT AND APPARENTLY WAS NO LONGER A THREAT TO IT
|
|||
|
THE AIRCRAFT REGAINED ALL INSTRUMENTATION AND COMMUNICATIONS. AT 0140
|
|||
|
HRS A SECOND F-4 WAS LAUNCHED. THE BACKSEATER ACQUIRED A RADAR LOCK ON
|
|||
|
AT 27 NH. 12 O'CLOCK HIGH POSITION WITH THE VC (RATE OF CLOSURE) AT 150
|
|||
|
NHPH. AS THE RANGE DECREASED TO 25 NH THE OBJECT MOVED AWAY AT A SPEED
|
|||
|
THAT WAS VISIBLE ON THE RADAR SCOPE AND STAYED AT 25 NH.
|
|||
|
C. THE SIZE OF THE RADAR RETURN WAS COMPARABLE TO THAT OF A 707 TANKER.
|
|||
|
THE VISUAL SIZE OF THE OBJECT WAS DIFFICULT TO DISCERN BECAUSE OF ITS
|
|||
|
INTENSE BRILLIANCE. THE LIGHT THAT IT GAVE OFF WAS THAT OF FLASHING
|
|||
|
STROBE LIGHTS ARRANGED IN A RECTANGULAR PATTERN AND ALTERNATING BLUE-
|
|||
|
GREEN, RED AND ORANGE IN COLOR. THE SEQUENCE OF THE LIGHTS WAS SO FAST
|
|||
|
THAT ALL THE COLORS COULD BE SEEN AT ONCE. THE OBJECT AND THE PURSUING
|
|||
|
F-4 CONTINUED ON A COURSE TO THE SOUTH OF TEHRAN WHEN ANOTHER BRIGHTLY
|
|||
|
LIGHTED OBJECT, ESTIMATED TO BE ONE HALF TO ONE THIRD THE APPARENT SIZE OF
|
|||
|
THE MOON, CAME OUT OF THE ORIGINAL OBJECT. THIS SECOND OBJECT HEADED
|
|||
|
STRAIGHT TOWARD THE F-4 AT A VERY FAST RATE OF SPEED. THE PILOT ATTEMPTED
|
|||
|
TO FIRE AN AIM-9 MISSILE AT THE OBJECT BUT AT THAT INSTANT HIS WEAPONS
|
|||
|
CONTROL PANEL WENT OFF AND HE LOST ALL COMMUNICATIONS (UHF AND INTERPHONE)
|
|||
|
AT THIS POINT THE PILOT INITIATED A TURN AND NEGATIVE G DIVE TO GET AWAY.
|
|||
|
AS HE TURNED THE OBJEAZ FELL IN TRAIL AT WHAT APPEARED TO BE ABOUT 3-4 NH.
|
|||
|
AS HE CONTINUED IN HIS TURN AWAY FROM THE PRIMARY OBJECT THE SECOND OBJECT
|
|||
|
WENT TO THE INSIDE OF HIS TURN THEN RETURNED TO THE PRIMARY OBJECT FOR A
|
|||
|
PERFECT REJOIN.
|
|||
|
D. SHORTLY AFTER THE SECOND OBJECT JOINED UP WITH THE PRIMARY OBJECT
|
|||

OTHER SIDE OF THE PRIMARY OBJECT GOING STRAIGHT DOWN. AT A GREAT RATE OF

SPEED. THE F-4 CREW HAD REGAINED COMMUNICATIONS AND THE WEAPONS CONTROL
|
|||
|
PANEL AND WATCHED THE OBJECT APPROACH THE GROUND ANTICIPATING A LARGE
|
|||
|
EXPLOSION. THIS OBJECT APPEARED TO COME TO REST GENTLY ON THE EARCH AND
|
|||
|
CAST A VERY BRIGHT LIGHT OVER AN AREA OF ABOUT 2-3 KILOMETERS.
|
|||
|
THE CREW DESCENDED FROM THEIR ALTITUDE OF 26H TO 15H AND CONTINUED TO
|
|||
|
OBSERVE AND MARK THE OBJECT'S POSITION. THEY HAD SOME DIFFICULTY IN
|
|||
|
ADJUSTING THEIR NIGHT VISIBILITY FOR LANDING SO AFTER ORBITING MEHRABAD
|
|||
|
A FEW TIMES THEY WENT OUT FOR A STRAIGHT IN LANDING. THERE WAS A LOT OF

INTERFERENCE ON THE UHF AND EACH TIME THEY PASSED THROUGH A MAG. BEARING
|

|
OF 150 DEGREE FROM EHRABAD THEY LOST THEIR COMMUNICATIONS (UHF AND

|
CIVIL AIRLINER THAT WAS APPROACHING MEHRABAD DURING THIS SAME TIME
|

|
EXPERIENCED COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE IN THE SAME VICINITY (KILO ZULU) BUT
|
|||
|
DID NOT REPORT SEEING ANYTHING. WHILE THE F-4 WAS ON A LONG FINAL
|
|||
|
APPROACH THE CREW NOTICED ANOTHER CYLINDER SHAPED OBJECT (ABOUT THE SIZE
|
|||
|
OF A T-BIRD AT 10M) WITH BRIGHT STEADY LIGHTS ON EACH END AND A FLASHER
|
|||
|
IN THE MIDDLE. WHEN QUERIED THE TOWER STATED THERE WAS NO OTHER KNOWN
|
|||
|
TRAFFIC IN THE AREA. DURING THE TIME THAT THE OBJECT PASSED OVER THE
|
|||
|
F-4 THE TOWER DID NOT HAVE A VISUAL ON IT BUT PICKED IT UP AFTER THE
|
|||
|
PILOT TOLD THEM TO LOOK BETWEEN THE MOUNTAINS AND THE REFINERY.
|
|||
|
E. DURING DAYLIGHT THE F-4 CREW WAS TAKEN OUT TO THE AREA IN A
|
|||
|
HELICOPTER WHERE THE OBJECT APPARENTLY HAD LANDED. NOTHING WAS NOTICED
|
|||
|
AT THE SPOT WHERE THEY THOUGHT THE OBJECT LANDED (A DRY LAKE BED) BUT
|
|||
|
AS THEY CIRCLED OFF TO THE WEST OF THE AREA THEY PICKED UP A VERY
|
|||
|
NOTICEABLE BEEPER SIGNAL. AT THE POINT WHERE THE RETURN WAS THE
|
|||
|
LOUDEST WAS A SMALL HOUSE WITH A GARDEN. THEY LANDED AND ASKED THE
|
|||
|
PEOPLE WITHIN IF THEY HAD NOTICED ANYTHING STRANGE LAST NIGHT. THE
|
|||
|
PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT A LOUD NOISE AND A VERY BRIGHT LIGHT LIKE

Dear Sir:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I am in receipt of your letter concerning your research on the mystery
|
|||
|
of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and I understand that you are
|
|||
|
participating in an international effort to establish contact with
|
|||
|
persons having past experiences involving UFOs.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
In June 1970, I had occasion to come in direct contact with a UFO. I was
|
|||
|
stationed in San Juan, Puerto Rico, with the Federal Aviation Administra-
|
|||
|
tion (FAA) and was flying with the Puerto Rico Air National Guard. In
|
|||
|
the early morning, a report had been received from two air carriers;
|
|||
|
Pan American, and a local carrier, Caribair, that at dawn a large
|
|||
|
balloon-like object was sighted drifting slowly southwestward at an
|
|||
|
approximate altitude of 5,000 to 7,000 feet. The object was detected on
|
|||
|
the Air Route Traffic Control Center radar and subsequently tracked.
|
|||
|
Movement appeared to be in a southwesterly direction at 4 to 8 knots per
|
|||
|
hour, varying slightly hour to hour. I was a member of a flight of 104s
|
|||
|
and a T-33 aircraft that went to the site where the object had been
|
|||
|
sighted to observe and to photograph it if possible. The object was
|
|||
|
visible from the ground at Isla Verde Airport, San Juan, Puerto Rico,
|
|||
|
lying low in the skies on a south southwesterly heading. Its appearance
|
|||
|
was similar to a balloon. After becoming airborne and flying towards
|
|||
|
the object, it became immediately apparent that it was at a very high
|
|||
|
altitude and was quite a distance away. The object was approximately
|
|||
|
40 miles southwest of Ponce, Puerto Rico, at an altitude in excess of
|
|||
|
60,000 feet, estimated roughly at 80,000 feet. Myself in a T-33 and four
|
|||
|
other pilots in f104s observed and photographed the object. The
|
|||
|
following details are noted:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
1. It was a manufactured item.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
2. It was at least 125 feet in width with the same approximate
|
|||
|
length.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
3. It was shaped similar to the forward one-third of a speedboat
|
|||
|
hull with a flat rear section and a pointed nose section.
|
|||
|
(See sketch.)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
4. There was an area of high reflectivity on the "keel" approxi-
|
|||
|
mately one-third from the nose of the object. (See sketch.)

5. The object remained oriented in a northeasterly/southwesterly
|
|||
|
direction with the nose pointed northeast; the stern to the
|
|||
|
southwest, and drifting slowly against the prevailing winds to
|
|||
|
the southwest about 8 knots per hour.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
6. There were no signs of any type of propulsion unit on the object.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Extensive gun-camera film was collected showing the object very closely.
|
|||
|
A B-52 from Ramey Air Force Base acquired the target on the radar. Upon
|
|||
|
"locking on," the B-52 received electronic jamming. The object was kept
|
|||
|
in surveillance throughout the remainder of the daylight hours and was
|
|||
|
lost after dark.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The prevailing weather at the time of the incident was clear skies and
|
|||
|
unlimited visibility. The object was viewed by the majority of the popu-
|
|||
|
lation of the island of Puerto Rico; visible in plain sight for most of
|
|||
|
the day, and reported to all military intelligence activities, National
|
|||
|
Weather Service, etc. We have yet to receive a satisfactory explanation
|
|||
|
as to what the object was. The San Juan Star published a series of
|
|||
|
articles concerning the incident.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I am presently the Deputy Chief at the Kansas City Air Route Traffic
|
|||
|
Control Center and would welcome any additional inquiries on this subject
|
|||
|
and perhaps I could direct you to where film could be obtained of the
|
|||
|
object.
|
|||
|
|
|||

Thank you,
