General Gerald W. 'Jerry' Johnson

By MUFON
7-8-15

      This military UFO encounter occurred while the witness was piloting a plane east of Los Angeles.

BIO

General Gerald W. "Jerry" Johnson's military career began as a second lieutenant fighter pilot with the mighty Eighth Air Force - 30 years later he was the Commander.

Born in 1919, he interrupted his college education in September 1941 to enter the Aviation Cadet Program. Upon earning his commission and pilot wings, he joined the 56th Fighter Group at Bridgeport, Connecticut, flying the P-47 Thunderbolt. In January 1943, his unit deployed to England, and eight months later, on August 19, he shot down his fifth German aircraft to become the first ace in the 56th and the second US Army Air Force's ace in the European Theater.

Johnson assumed command of the 63rd Fighter Squadron in February 1944, but on March 27, he was forced down by ground fire and captured by German forces.

By that time, he had flown 88 combat missions and scored 16 and one-half aerial victories. He spent the remaining months of WWII in Stalag Luft I. Following the war, he commanded the 62nd Fighter Squadron of his old group - the 56th. After graduating from Boston University in 1950, he returned to flying at Turner Air Force Base, Georgia. There, from 1951 to 1957, he served in many leadership positions. He began as Deputy Director for Operations in the 31st Fighter Escort Wing, flying the F-84 Thunderjet, and ended as the first Commander of the 4080th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing in the RB-57 Canberra and top secret U-2. . . .

     Is it a bird, is it a plane? No, it’s a UFO, according to one Romford resident.

The witness, David, logged a strange sighting on website uk-ufo.co.uk, claiming he saw a “slow moving silver orb” coming towards him at 7.27pm on Friday.

In his “witness statement,” he said: “I saw a slow moving silver orb from a distance coming towards me. I thought maybe it was a plane but as it got closer to me, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t, it went directly over my house so I ran from where I was in my back garden to the front.

“Its light went out for a couple of seconds and then came on again, then completely disappeared from sight.” . . .

     An Oklahoma witness at Bridge Creek reported briefly watching a hovering, silver-colored disc UFO before it quickly disappeared in broad daylight, according to April 13, 2013, testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was driving along SH 4 and about to enter the Kilpatrick Turnpike Spur between Blanchard and Tuttle about 1 p.m. on April 5, 2013, when the object was first seen.

"I was looking up at the signs making sure I was in the correct lane and saw a silver disc hovering toward my right," the witness stated.

The sighting was brief.

"I looked back and forth at it 5-6 times, trying to figure out if it was a reflection or a highway lamp, etc. The last time I looked it was just gone."

The witness described the object.

"It was flat, silver, no lights. . . .

Silver Disc UFO Reported '20 Feet Off Ground' Over Small Alabama Town

By Roger Marsh
The Examiner

     An Alabama couple driving north along I-65 in Calera reported watching "a silver disc 20 feet off of the ground and about 50 feet" away, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witnesses first noticed "two bright, white flood lights and a blinking red light in the middle."

"The lights were brighter than any I have ever seen," the reporting witness stated. "We thought it was a tower. I was supposed to turn left after getting off at the Shelby Co. Airport exit, but just had to go right and check it out."

The couple disagreed over whether the lights were on a tower or not.

"We saw from very close up, a silver disc with white lights on either side and a red flashing light on the middle front. I felt as if it was watching us because it was tilted towards us. She said 'lookout!' as I was going into the other lane and a car was coming."

MY UFO EXPERIENCE | Scottsdale, Arizona: ". . . Spheres Immediately Started Moving and Literally Disappeared Right Before My Eyes"

MY UFO EXPERIENCE - Scottsdale, Arizona - Spheres Immediately Started Moving and Literally Disappeared Right Before My Eyes

     This morning (March 3, 2011) as my boyfriend was driving me to work, we saw an arrangement of what looked like large metallic balloons in the sky over Scottsdale, AZ. Since I was a passenger, I was able to focus completely on the objects without looking away. I immediately told my boyfriend to look and he caught some glances as he was driving, but wasn't able to pay as close attention as I could.

As we got closer, I saw that it looked as if it were actually 2 separate arrangements of 4 or 5 silver circles, each in their own straight line. I originally thought that maybe they were balloons because they weren't moving. But they were reflecting the sunlight, so they were obviously made of metal.

While I was hypothesizing with my boyfriend over what they might be, one of the arrangements of spheres immediately started moving and literally disappeared right before my eyes. Completely dispelling the idea that they were balloons. I even shouted in the car "One's gone! Where did it go?!" And as we moved further south on the road, the second aircraft of spheres moved in the same direction, but veered east away from us. I tried as much as I could to follow its path, but it moved much too fast and before I knew it, it too had vanished before my eyes. Totally non-existant when only minutes before I could make out every detail of it.

They looked like they were individual spheres, but somehow the groups of 5 spheres moved in unison in each aircraft. But they didn't appear to be connected. Needless to say, it was totally bizarre and I wish I would have taken a photo, but they entire experience lasted only a few moments and I didn't want to look away and miss anything.

I wish I knew exactly what it was, but I'll probably never know. That's the worst part of all. I am just so baffled.

MY UFO EXPERIENCE | Tonight Over Addison Texas: "I Saw a Weird Oblong Shape Flying Across the Sky . . . It Was Silent and had a Silver Shine to It"

     Was walking my dog around the apartment complex this afternoon at 6pm and since I have been wanting to see a UFO for myself, I always look up at the sky.

Well this time, I saw a weird oblong shape flying across the sky from south to north, near Spring Valley Road and Marsh Lane. It was silent and had a silver shine to it and as it passed by and ascended into the clouds, I am sure I saw some red on it.

It was silent and about the size of a small private plane but without the wings and tail. As I am situated between three airports, DFW. Love field and Addison I am used to seeing and hearing planes flying overhead but this was not a plane and it reminded me of a probe.

I watched it for about three minutes until it disappeared into the higher clouds. Right after that, a Southwest plane flew over but it was on a lower flight path so this UFO was on a higher flight path. I am hoping someone else saw it today Monday the 18th October.

MY UFO EXPERIENCE:
Glittering UFO Ejects Hot Metal Slag

My UFO Experience

[Unedited]
5-8-09

      I live in Rathdrum Idaho and it was 7/31/07: 10:20 pm. very clear skies, with no cloud cover and not wearing glasses.

I was just star gazing, looking to the eastern horizon saw a bright white cigar shape do some extremely fast left and right movements then it decended to about 3000 ft. and came my direction extremely fast and then it was stationary and about 2 to 3miles out and the same elevation.

I had nothing to use for scale to say how large it may be but I saw really good details of it. It changed color from bright white to a glittering silver and yellow or gold color. Have you ever seen someone wear a glitter jacket on t.v. when the lights are on it? it was attractive to look at.

It started to get much brighter, as it did,what looked like welders slag began to drip off both ends of the object pretty evenly. As it got brighter more hot metal as it appeared was falling at least 100 ft. or more, cooling off before it reached the ground. This went on for 2 or 3 minutes. Then it grew dimmer and less hot metal fell till it stopped all together and then proceeded N.E. at a pace much slower than when it showed up till it was out of my sight.

I went in into my house and started to write down everything just as it happened to get it all correct. I did report it to MUFON and to NUFON. MUFON was the one very interested in it and sent me a report packet and I returned it.

I live in the country where theres no aircraft except small planes. The next night about 09:00 pm and for the next 5 nights, I saw a military twin prop with a round radar disc on top like the AWAK or PVY flying back and forth in the same area I saw the object for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours each night. eversince I have been hunting for the same type of story everywhere to better understand it. Ive only found 2 that help a little. 1 at maury just outside tocoma Wa. 1947 and Rendleshaw with colonal Holt"s story 1980 I think. If you know more about it or other sightings simular, I would greatly like better understanding.

My Father was in the Navy 30yrs as a ADJ-C ,and Ive seen alot of different aircraft, but nothing like this even close. Sorry I wrote a book here, I still get excited telling the story and promise you have the detailed truth as it unfolded.

Thankyou very much Mr. Warren for your time.
