WYTHEVILLE UFO UPDATE --
|
|
|
|
HUGE UFOS EQUIPPED WITH STROBES CONTINUE TO FLY OVER WYTHE
|
|
COUNTY, VIRGINIA, WHERE MORE THAN 1,000 SIGHTINGS HAVE BEEN
|
|
REPORTED SINCE THE FIRST WEEK IN OCTOBER, ACCORDING TO BROAD-
|
|
CAST NEWS DIRECTOR DANNY GORDON OF WYVE RADIO IN WYTHEVILLE.
|
|
ALTHOUGH BOTH THE PENTAGON AND THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT HAVE
|
|
REPEATEDLY DENIED ANY KNOWLEDGE OR INVOLVMENT IN THE RAFT OF
|
|
UFOS, GORDON, WITH TWO OTHER RESEARCHERS, SUSPECTS A MILI-
|
|
TARY EXPLANATION MAY BE FORTHCOMING. "WE THINK IT MAY
|
|
BE A MILITARY CRAFT OF A HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL NATURE," GORDON
|
|
SPECULATES, "OR SOMETHING THEY DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT'S
|
|
NOT THEIRS! (WYTHE COUNTY) IS A TESTING AREA FOR DAYTIME
|
|
FLIGHTS BY THE ARMY, NAVY AND AIR FORCE."
|
|
SENATOR PAUL TRIBLE (R-VIRGINIA) IS OFFICIALLY CONTACTING THE
|
|
MILITARY REGARDING THE UFOS, ACCORDING TO HIS WASHINGTON,
|
|
D.C. PRESS SECRETARY JOHN MILLER. SUBSEQUENT ACTION
|
|
WILL DEPEND ON THE MILITARY'S RESPONSE MILLER SAYS.
|
|
REPORTS HAVE DEPICTED V-SHAPED CRAFT, ROUND AND DOME-TOPPED
|
|
OBJECTS AND FAST-MOVING COLORED LIGHTS. WITNESSES HAVE DES-
|
|
CRIBED SEEING THE CRAFT MANAGE 90-DEGREE TURNS AND SPEEDS
|
|
FASTER THAN KNOWN AIRCRAFT, ALONG WITH INCIDENTS OF THE
|
|
UFOS DOGGING AUTOMOBILES. ONE WITNESS CLAIMS HE SAW SOMETHING
|
|
ON NOV 2 WHICH RESEMBLED A SHIP FROM STAR WARS.
|
|
DAYTIME MILITARY ACTIVITY PROVES INCONCLUSIVE AS A POSSIBLE
|
|
EXPLANATION. THE SILENT UFOS ARE MOST OFTEN SEEN AFTER DARK,
|
|
AND AT ALTITUDES APPARENTLY INCONSISTENT WITH POSSIBLE TEST
|
|
FLIGHTS OR REFUELING OPERATIONS.
|
|
GORDON FIRST BROKE THE NEWS TO WIRE SERVICES AFTER LOCAL LAW
|
|
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS REPORTED UFOS ON OCT. 2, SEEN IN THE
|
|
NORTHERN SECTION OF THE COUNTY OVER INTERSTATE 77. "LESS
|
|
THAN A WEEK LATER, THE SHERIFF'S DEPATMENT REPORTED THAT A
|
|
FAMILY VISITING FROM OHIO - WHO WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY UFO
|
|
SIGHTINGS BEFOREHAND - HAD BEEN FOLLOWED BY A ROUND OBJECT,"
|
|
SAYS GORDON.
|
|
"IT CAME AT THEM AT A LOW ALTITUDE WHILE THEY WERE ON A
|
|
SECONDARY TWO-LANE ROAD."
|
|
REPORTS OF SIMILAR OBJECTS - DOME-SHAPED CRAFT OUTFITTED
|
|
WITH BRIGHT LIGHTS AND OFTEN FOLLOWED BY A SMALLER, RED-
|
|
LIGHTED OBJECTS, POURED INTO GORDON AT WYVE. AS INTEREST
|
|
IN THE SIGHTINGS MOUNTED, HE DECIDED TO HOST A CALL-IN
|
|
PROGRAM WHERE PEOPLE COULD ANONYMOUSLY REPORT WHAT THEY
|
|
HAD SEEN IN THE AREA. "I HAD ABOUT 25 CALLS IN THE FIRST
|
|
HOUR," HE SAYS.
|
|
MILITARY MANEUVERS IN THE WYTHE COUNTY AREA ARE NOT UNCOMMON.
|
|
GORDON, WHO'S HAD ONE DAYLIGHT AND FOUR NOCTURNAL SIGHTINGS
|
|
HIMSELF, IS CONDUCTING AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION INTO
|
|
THE WYTHE COUNTY UFOS. WITH FASHION PHOTOGRAPHER JOHN
|
|
STEMBER AND MILITARY DECEPTION SPECIALIST ANDREW CONVERY, WHO
|
|
BOTH OFFERED THEIR ASSISTANCE AS NEWS OF THE "FLAP" WENT
|
|
NATIONAL, GORDON MADE SEVERAL VISITS TO LOCAL SIGHTING
|
|
VICINITIES. THEY OBSEVED A LARGER UFO ("HUMUNGOUS CRAFT
|
|
ABOUT 900 FEET LONG - BIGGER THAN A 747") LINKING WITH A
|
|
SMALLER CRAFT IN WHAT APPEARED TO BE A DOCKING MANUEVER.
|
|
SEVERAL PHOTOGRAPHS AND POOR-QUALITY VIDEOTAPE WERE
|
|
TAKEN.
|
|
OFFICIALS AT THE TENNESSEE AIR NATIONAL GUARD, WHO SPOKE WITH
|
|
GORDON SHORTLY AFTER SOME OF THE FIRST SIGHTINGS, SUGGESTED
|
|
THAT THE UFOS WERE CONVENTIONAL AIRCRAFT CONDUCTING REFUELING
|
|
OPERATIONS. THE PENTAGON DENIES THAT, GORDON SAYS. "PEOPLE
|
|
LOCALLY ARE MAD - THEY'RE LIKE ME; THEY'VE SEEN SOMETHING AND
|
|
THEY KNOW IT WASN'T REFUELING."
|
|
ON OCT. 23, GORDON ANDHIS COLLEAGUES HELD A PRESS CON-
|
|
FERENCE AT WYVE STUDIOS IN WYTHEVILLE. THE PANEL DES-
|
|
CLARED THEIR BELIEF THAT SOME SORT OF CRASH TOOK PLACE IN
|
|
THE AREA - BUT DECLINED TO ELABORATE.
|
|
a REPORTER RECENTLY QUESTIONED GORDON ON THE UFOS FEASIBLY
|
|
BEING EXTRATERRESTRIAL. "BECAUSE I'M A REPORTER, i
|
|
HAVE TO DEAL IN FACTS AND LOGIC," GORDON RESPONDED.
|
|
"THERE'S NO PROOF THAT THE UFOS COME FROM ANYWHERE BUT THE
|
|
UNITED STATES. IF SO, THEY'RE DOING A VERY GOOD JOB OF
|
|
SNEAKING IN AND OUT OF OUR COUNTRY. AND IF IT'S A STEALTH
|
|
EXPERIMENT, IT'S A ROUND ONE.
