UFOs Have Carefully Monitored US Missile Checks For the reason that Nineteen Forties

Whereas the
1964 Massive Sur Incident
was essentially the most dramatic case documented so far, encounters involving UFO
surveillance and even interference have occurred on an ongoing
foundation.

One solely has to do some analysis to find that the Massive Sur Incident was not distinctive. Truly, confirmed episodes of UFOs maneuvering close to airborne U.S. missiles occurred on quite a few events, each earlier than and after the now well-publicized occasion, throughout which a UFO was filmed disabling a dummy nuclear warhead in flight, utilizing beams of sunshine. After former USAF Lieutenant Bob Jacobs—head of the Vandenberg AFB-based telescopic-photography crew that inadvertently filmed the superb incident—went public with the story in 1982, he shortly acquired nameless loss of life threats over the phone and,

independently, was harassed by a small group of “skeptics” with fascinating however
unpublicized authorities connections. An earlier
article
of mine discusses that scenario.

However, one other officer, retired Main Florenze Mansmann—who analyzed
the Massive Sur movie frame-by-frame with a magnifier—has
confirmed
that it confirmed a “traditional disc” UFO capturing 4 intensely luminous beams at
the warhead, which then tumbled out of digital camera body.

However the dramatic 1964 encounter was hardly the primary case of UFO surveillance
of our missile exams. For instance, in March 1950, a True journal
article written by U.S. Naval Commander Robert B. McLaughlin, a rocket
specialist at White Sands Proving Floor, in southern New Mexico, revealed
that small, spherical UFOs—we might now name them orbs—had been sighted on the
extremely secret base throughout a V-2 rocket check carried out on June 10, 1949.
Referring to the incident, he wrote,

At the present time we have been firing a Navy higher ambiance missile. Shortly after its
take-off, two small round objects, guessed to be roughly 20 inches in
diameter, appeared from no place and joined the Navy missile on its upward
flight.

At concerning the time the Navy missile was doing nicely over
2,000 ft per second, the item on the west aspect handed by means of the exhaust
gases and joined its pal on the east. They then apparently determined the
missile was not going quick sufficient for them. They accelerated, handed the Navy
missile and sailed off upward and eastward.

News coverage of McLaughlin’s revelations was widespread at
the time. In keeping with veteran UFO researcher Richard Corridor, McLaughlin was
later punished by the Navy for writing the article—shedding his job at White
Sands and being shipped off to sea obligation. UFOs snooping on navy missile
launches was clearly a highly-sensitive topic that was to be rigorously
saved from public view.

In any case, unexplained UFO exercise at White Sands within the Nineteen Forties and ‘50s was
ceaselessly noticed by navy and civilian personnel working on the check
vary, and close by Holloman AFB, involving aerial objects that have been radically
completely different in look and vastly superior in efficiency, in comparison with our
personal plane and rockets.
Reports
periodically issued by the Air Power summarized varied incidents over time.

By the early Nineteen Sixties, UFO sightings throughout navy missile exams started to happen
at different areas. Main Donald E. Keyhoe (USMC Ret.), Director of the
Nationwide Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP), a
well-respected UFO analysis group, has written,

In [NICAP’s] information is a photocopy of an official monitoring log from Cape
Canaveral (now Cape Kennedy), protecting operations on January 10, 1961. A
Polaris missile was fired that day. In keeping with the log, the missile was on
its manner up when an ‘unidentifiable flying object’ got here in over the vary. The
UFO was evidently so massive and maneuvered so near the Polaris that computerized
monitoring radar on the bottom, set to observe the Polaris, locked onto the UFO
by mistake. The UFO finally flew out of the radar’s ‘sight.’ It took
trackers 14 minutes to seek out the Polaris once more.

A declassified navy teletype message, often known as a TWX,
summarizes the encounter, however the information first turned identified to the general public after
they have been leaked by somebody with entry to inside info. Importantly,
the intriguing 1961 occasion occurred solely three years earlier than the incident
reported by Bob Jacobs and Florenze Mansmann and the parallels between the 2
circumstances are apparent.

Predictably, UFO exercise throughout US missile exams continued to happen following
the Massive Sur incident. In a single case, a Minuteman ICBM carrying a dummy nuclear
warhead was launched from Vandenberg AFB, California, at some point in August 1973.
On June 17, 1974, the Chicago Tribune carried the next
news item:

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama – Specialists at an Military missile base say they’re puzzled
about unusual “ghost ships” picked up by highly effective radar scanner within the Pacific
throughout a monitoring train final summer time.

There was little official touch upon what the scientists discovered through the
train, however Main Dallas Van Hoose, an Military spokesman, confirmed lately
that “some unexplained aerial phenomena” have been noticed through the train
final August. Scientists, lots of whom are reluctant to be named in interviews
due to common public skepticism over unidentified flying objects, say
privately they’ve been unable to seek out any clarification for the “ghost
ships”.

“We’ve by no means seen something exactly like this earlier than,” stated one ballistic
missile protection knowledgeable who works for an Military company right here and who’s acquainted
with the superior radar used to check missiles and warheads. Huntsville homes
the Military’s ballistic missile protection techniques command which exams within the
Kwajalein Atoll area of the Marshall Island Belief Territory held by the U.S.

Final August the Air Power launched a Minuteman ICBM from Vandenberg Air Power
base aimed for the Kwajalein missile vary which is utilized by the Military, Air
Power, and Navy. The radar consultants within the Pacific discovered they have been additionally
monitoring an flying saucers subsequent to the ICBM’s nostril cone. Radar
picked up an inverted saucer-shape object to the appropriate and above the
descending nostril cone and watched it cross the warhead’s trajectory to a degree
which was under and to-the-left of it earlier than the phantom ship disappeared. The
ghost ship was described as being 10-feet excessive and 40-feet lengthy. Two separate
radar techniques noticed it on the identical time which can remove the likelihood that
there was a malfunction in one of many radar techniques. It was additionally reported that
3 different equivalent objects have been seen within the neighborhood—the identical dimension, form, and
dimensions. One scientist stated the info indicated that the phantom ship “flew
beneath its personal energy” however couldn’t clarify what kind of “energy” was
concerned.

Thus far not one of the consultants right here consider the ghost ship was a pure
phenomenon brought on by freak climate situations or echoes generally seen on radar
screens.

(Radar alone couldn’t have decided that the unknown targets had an
“inverted saucer-shape” so some optical pictures of the UFOs needed to have been
taken as nicely. The reporter writing the article apparently misunderstood some
of what he was instructed by Military Main Van Hoose, and mistakenly attributed this
explicit discovery to the evaluation of radar knowledge.)

In any occasion, the sooner incident at Vandenberg AFB, described by each
Lieutenant Bob Jacobs and Main Florenze Mansmann, involving close-proximity
UFO exercise throughout an Atlas ICBM check launch, was apparently not just one to
happen on the base.

Relating to the unnamed ballistic missile knowledgeable’s assertion within the article
above, about by no means having seen “something exactly like this earlier than”, given
that the 1964 Massive Sur incident was instantly labeled Prime Secret—with solely
a handful of people realizing the information—it will have been unknown to different
navy and civilian personnel conducting missile exams a decade later.

Researcher Barry Greenwood later reprinted this newspaper story in his
co-authored guide, Clear Intent (later republished as
The UFO Cowl-Up). He wrote,

When FOIA inquiries have been filed with the Military, they denied having any information
in regards to the sighting. We have been referred to Vandenberg AFB, California.
Vandenberg responded that “in accordance with Air Power guide 12-50 which
implements the Federal Information Act, the launch operations information for August
1973 have been destroyed.” Observe that it’s not acknowledged that the UFO monitoring
report was destroyed, solely a really common assertion is provided that “launch
operations information” have been destroyed. That [records of] such a mysterious occasion
as this could not be saved someplace for doable future use is
incomprehensible. But this excuse is obtainable time and time once more to disclaim
entry to information…

In 2016, researcher Richard Hoffman positioned the Military spokesman cited within the
article, retired Main Dallas Van Hoose. Upon studying that, I secured Van
Hoose’s contact info and tried to interview him. Regardless of repeated
tried cellphone calls, he decline to talk with me.

Regardless, right here we’ve one other dependable story, printed by the
Chicago Tribune, involving a UFO maneuvering close to a dummy nuclear
warhead (contained throughout the missile’s nosecone) in flight over the Pacific
Ocean. Contemplating this case, in addition to these at White Sands Proving Floor
and Cape Canaveral, there will be little doubt that those that function the UFOs
have repeatedly monitored U.S. missile exams because the late Nineteen Forties. In reality,
given the continuing secrecy surrounding these occasions, the identified circumstances are
undoubtedly solely a fraction of the entire quantity which have occurred.

Consequently, regardless of the repeated and unfounded assaults upon them by varied
debunkers over time, Bob Jacobs’ and Florenz Mansmann’s assertions about
having watched on movie a UFO maneuvering close to, and disabling, a dummy nuclear
warhead in 1964, are unquestionably credible.

Certainly, as I lately talked about in one other
article, former Superior Aerospace Risk Identification Program (AATIP) director
Lue Elizondo, has already confirmed to a handful of former US authorities
personnel that he personally considered a video copy of the Massive Sur UFO encounter
whereas on the Pentagon.

Due to researchers
Barry Greenwood and
Jan Aldrich for offering
documentation referring to the White Sands, Cape Canaveral, and 1973
Vandenberg AFB circumstances. And particular due to researcher Frank Warren of
