UFO SIGHTINGS AND CONTACT IN WISCONSIN IN THE 70'S CLICK HERE
After all but ignoring UFOs since 1969 the nation's press and news media in 1973 gave prominent space to sightings - both in this country .and
overseas. The massive wave of UFO sightings worldwide in 1973 opened up a "new era" in public and official acceptance, veteran civilian UFO
investigator and researcher George D. Fawcett of Mount Airy, N.C. stated. The current flurry of UFO sightings actually started with the
opening of 1972 (contrary to what is generally thought) and brought with it a flood of UFO landing reports on a global basis that is expected to
spill over into 1974. Over 80 landings of UFOs were recorded and documented from 24 states in the U.S.A. and from over 11 foreign lands.
Overseas these excellent encounters came from such far away places as England, Canada, Africa, Argentina and Australia, etc. with Australia
heading the list. Mexico, France, New Zealand, Central America also.
Stateside, such on the ground experiences were reported from North and South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Alaska, Oklahoma, California, Iowa,
Georgia, Tennessee, Ohio, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Virginia, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, Florida, Maryland, Wisconsin,
Kansas, Colorado, New Jersey and Arizona, etc. California, Tennessee, Mississippi and Georgia ranked in that order for UFO landings.
Most controversial of all were the sightings of UFO occupants on the ground or through `windows' in low level flights. Such encounters were
reported in conjunction with landings and/or near landings in twelve states and two countries overseas. These experiences were recorded in
Dobson and Copeland, North Carolina; at Gaffney, South Carolina; at Robesonia, Pennsylvania; at Balls Ferry and Chatsworth, California; at
Athens and Danielsville, Georgia; at Giles County and Watauga, Tennessee; at Pascagoula, Mississippi; at Falkville, Alabama; at Danville,
Virginia; at Hampton, New Hampshire; at Pensacola, Florida; at Baltimore, Maryland; at Kimbra, Australia and at Bahia Blanca, Argentina. For
the most part the UFO occupants (UFOnauts) were around 4 feet tall, dressed in divers suits and/or white coveralls (with and without
helmets) and they seemed to be busy with surveillance and specimen gathering. These types of reported UFO happenings almost led to panic
situations at varied localities across our nation and overseas.
Trigger happy and badly frightened witnesses shot at UFOs and sometimes their pilots at Ft. Beaufort, South Africa; at Griffin and
Danielsville, Georgia; at Gadsden and in Mobile County, Alabama and in Georges County, Tennessee. In some of the incidents the bullets
bounced back, while the emotional excitement made for bad marksmanship at other locations.
The U.S. Air Force, the Department of Defense and the Federal Aviation Agency were involved with UFO-jet interceptions and were greatly
concerned by the growing number of radar tracking of UFOs reported from the Eglin AFB, Florida; from the Baer Air Force Base, Fort Wayne,
Indiana; from FAA radar at San Antonio, Texas; from Civil Defense radar in Columbia, Mississippi, from Ft. Sill, Oklahoma; from Bahia
Blanca, Argentina and from Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Pilot reports of UFOs were often reported by both commercial and military
pilots from Braniff, Eastern, Pan American, Delta Airlines, Colorado NORAD Air Force pilots, BOAC, TWA, Bell Huey Jet Helicopters,
Scandinavian Airlines, private Australian and Missouri pilots. General George S. Brown, U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff admitted for the first
time that UFOs had triggered many air, sea, land battles earlier in Vietnam. The DOD and FAA issued new UFO regulations, and the USAF
started two new UFO studies, code-named Old New Moon and Blue Paper.
Other radar tracking came from military bases in Maryland, Arizona, Delaware, Massachusetts and Washington State. Reports of UFOs came
from the governors of Ohio and Georgia, from President Abi Amin of Uganda; from the Skylab-2 astronauts, from police and law enforcement
officials in all 50 states and from both highly qualified scientific observers. Astronauts Gene Cernan and Gordon Cooper stated they believed
UFOs represented `other civilizations' and visitations from 'afar' over a long period of time, a thought shared and spoken by Senator Barry
Goldwater also in 1973. The 1973 Gallup Poll indicated that 15 million Americans had seen UFOs to date and that over 51% of the population
had accepted UFOs as being real, both astonishing increases over the last Gallup Poll on UFOs which was taken in 1966. Dr. J. Allen Hynek,
astronomer at Northwestern University opened a "Center for UFO Studies" in early December, just after a secret Rand Corporation study, as
well as a two year study by the American Institute for Astronautics and Aeronautics (AIAA) recommended new UFO studies after the
previous ill-fated Air Force Project Blue Book and University of Colorado Condon Committee UFO probes had failed to either explain or
duplicate the UFO phenomenon. Both national and international security and advanced science and technology are involved with the growing
number of UFO sightings worldwide over the past 28 years and more.
While others investigate, a large number of scientific, aerospace companies and technical laboratories have set up anti-gravity and artificial
gravity projects, many under secret contracts; in an all-out crash project to try to duplicate the technology inherent in UFO observations. Some
of them are military, AEC, NASA, NSF, RCA, MIT, Bell, Boeing, Convair, Martin, Lockheed, Douglas, Hughes, Air Force Flight Dynamics
and Air Force General Physics Research.
In the meantime a large number of UFO photographs and movie film were taken in 1973 in North Carolina, Alabama, California, Pennsylvania,
Georgia, Ohio, S.C., Italy, Peru, Missouri, Tennessee, Washington State and Australia - which are still being evaluated and analysed.
Electro-magnetic interferences with car motors, headlights, houselights, CB radios, TV, radio, magnometers and other communication devices
were widely reported in conjunction with UFO encounters, as were numerous cases of severe animal reactions and human physiological effects.
UFO-related power failures (documented over the past almost 3 decades) again cropped up time and time again in 1973 on March 14 in
Piedmont, Missouri; on May 26 in Morwell, Australia; on June 28 in Columbia, Missouri; on September 10 in Atlanta, Georgia; on October 16
in Yazoo, Mississippi and on November 11 in Farmville, Louisiana ... just to mention a few of the growing incidents on a global basis.
At UFO landing sites impressions and ground markings such as burned 20 to 30 foot circles, tripod landing-gear marks, background radiation
increases above normal, chemical soil changes, denuded vegetation and dehydrated and depressed areas have been found, along with many
deposits of both metallic and non-metallic fragments. Many reported ammonia, sulfur-like and ozone odors near UFOs.
On October 3 a motorist suffered impaired vision when burned by a UFO at Jackson, Missouri while on October 19 at Rutledge, Georgia
another witness was burned on her face by the heat given off by an approaching UFO. Over 170 cases of eyewitnesses being burned, blinded,
paralyzed and injured by UFOs in close encounters have been documented since 1945, so that witnesses of UFOs are urged not to touch or
approach UFOs on the ground, until more can be determined about their origin and nature. Consistent features of UFOs are being reported
independently by witnesses thousands of miles apart. In 1973 two important books were published, both of which tell-it as it really is. Dr. J.
Allen Hynek's book THE UFO EXPERIENCE (A Scientific Inquiry) and Major Donald E. Keyhoe's book "ALIENS FROM SPACE". For
many in 1973 UFO's became part of their experiences and alien appeared to be the correct adjective used to describe the growing number of
worldwide UFO sightings that were being reported.
