Roswell Incident: Response to UFO Air Force Report - Fund for UFO Research - 1997

Now response to last week's U.S. Air Force report on an alleged U.F.O. crash at Roswell New Mexico in1947. Today a group called the fund for U.F.O. research hosted this 40 minute event at the

By C-SPAN 7-2-1997

National Press Club. They outlined their position on the Roswell incident and the possibility of extraterrestrial life.

Don Berliner: My name is Don Berliner, this is Rob Swiatek. We are both members of the Executive Committee of the Fund for U.F.O. Research. The Fund is a nonprofit corporation set up to support scientific research and educational projects aimed at shedding some light on the U.F.O. mystery. We don't know what U.F.O.'s are. We would like to know. A long term mystery like this must be solved sooner or later. And we want to do our part by mainly by bringing the scientific community into this problem. Our reason for being here today concerns the latest Air Force attempt to explain the July, 1947 Roswell incident. And one of the things that keeps us going is not only the nuts and bolts of U.F.O. sightings, but the increasingly peculiar behavior of the U.S. government, in particular the United States Air Force. This latest report is far and away the least believable of a series of reports the Air Force has issued on this particular aspect of UFOs. Each one intended as a final answer to the question. And obviously not succesful.

UFO Lands Near Near Nuclear Missile Site; Security Forces Dispatched

"... personnel on the surface reported seeing a UFO with a red light high in the sky. At the same time, a radar crew picked up the object ..."

More than three months after it reportedly occurred, and Unidentified Flying Object sighting in the Minot area has been blown up as a lead-off topic in an article entitled, "Are Flying Saucers Real" which appears in the latest issue of the Saturday Evening Post magazine.

By The Minot Daily News 12-6-1966

This sighting says the Post article occurred at a Minot Air force Base Minuteman missile launch control center. Date of the incident is given as Aug. 25, 1966.

Base information offices confirmed such a report was made. It was never released in Minot, but was sent to Wright-Patterson Field in Ohio. From there, it presumably was channeled to the Secretary of the Air Force's office–and again, presumably, released to the magazine.

The article is by J. Allen Hynek, identified as chairman of Northwestern University's astronomy department and an Air Force consultant on "Flying Saucers" from 1948 until this year.

The Minot incident is detailed in this manner:

A launch control center officer, who was in an underground capsule, discovered static was interfering with radio transmission, while he was attempting to clear the problem, personnel on the surface reported seeing a UFO with a red light high in the sky. At the same time, a radar crew picked up the object at a height estimated at 100,000 ft.

Static stopped when the object climbed, the report maintains. After climbing, it began to swoop and dive, then apparently landed some distance away.

"Missile-site control sent a strike team ... to check. When the team was about 10 miles from the landing site, static disrupted radio contact with them. Five to eight minutes later, the glow diminished and the UFO took off. Another UFO was visually sighted and confirmed by radar. The one that was first sighted passed beneath the second. Radar also confirmed this. The first made for altitude toward the north and the second seemed to disappear with a glow of red."

U.S. Shoots Down UFO Above Alaska

"A U.S. F-22 fighter jet on Friday shot down an unidentified object flying high over Alaska, U.S. officials said, less than a week after the military brought down a Chinese balloon that had flown across the United States."

A Sidewinder missile downed the latest craft, which was about the size of a small car, said U.S. Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder, the Pentagon's chief spokesperson. "We don't know who owns this object," said White House spokesperson John Kirby, adding that it was unclear where it began its flight.

20 Questions About Flying Saucers (UFOs / UAP) For The Air Force - 1950

The recent announcement by the Air Force that its Operation Saucer had been closed failed in its purpose to put an official quietus on discussion of Flying Saucers [UFOs]. The announcement followed by 24 hours of the appearance in True Magazine of an article by Lt. Donald E. Keyhoe, entitled, "Flying Saucers Are Real." Lt. Keyhoe spoke in Buffalo and repeated his statements after the Air Force announcement had been issued. Among the columnists and commentators who have taken part in the discussion is Frank Scully, who writes a column entitled

"Scully's Scrapbook." Mr. Scully scoffed at the Air Force announcement and listed 20 questions which he would like to ask the Air Force top command.

Subsequently, Mr. Scully said the questions were propounded in utmost seriousness, that whatever others might think, he saw no reason for treating the subject of Flying Saucers lightly. Mr. Scully's questions follow:

FORMER USAF OFFICERS TO PRESENT EVIDENCE OF UFOS TAMPERING WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS

Declassified U.S government documents and witness testimony from former or retired U.S. Air Force personnel to be presented as evidence of ongoing incursions by unidentified aerial objects at nuclear missile sites over several decades.

By Press Release The UFO Chronicles 10-8-21

These will be cited to support the claim that nuclear missiles were inexplicably disabled while a UAP object silently hovered nearby. Four former officers involved in such encounters will discuss these and other incidents at the National Press Club and urge the U.S. Congress to investigate and hold public hearings.

Former Air Force officer, Robert Salas, was the on-duty commander of an underground launch control facility assigned to Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana, on March 24, 1967. He has publicly stated over a span of twenty-five years, that all ten of his ICBMs became inoperable and that eight days earlier, on March 16, 1967, a similar incident occurred at another missile launch control facility.

Numerous other UFO-related incidents with possible implications for national security have been publicly acknowledged by former public officials—whose efforts resulted in the creation of a secret Pentagon UFO investigations group, the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP).

This Press Conference will present witness testimony and other evidence of a many of such incidents.

The first UFOs and Nukes press conference, held on September 27, 2010, which Robert Salas co-sponsored with researcher Robert Hastings, was extensively covered by the media worldwide.

WHO:

Robert Salas, former USAF captain and nuclear missile crew commander.

Robert Jamison, former USAF captain and nuclear missile targeting officer.

David Schindele, former USAF captain and nuclear missile crew commander.

Robert Jacobs, former USAF lieutenant and missile test photographic officer.

WHAT:

A panel of former U.S. Air Force officers will discuss their involvement in UFO incidents at nuclear missile launch facilities and test sites during the Cold War era. Witness affidavits that substantiate the reality of UFO activity at nuclear weapons sites will be available.

Tuesday, October 19, 2021 8:30 -11:00 a.m.
