emitting orange flashes. A dome on top of the object started
spinning, the legs disappeared, and the object rose
vertically above the trees, without noise. Less than 20 sec
later, it had cleared the hill and was lost to sight in the
southwest. The next day the witness went to the site and
found no trace, but his dog turned around and ran away.

toward the United States. Within minutes, Strategic Air
Command crews around America were scrambling to their
nuclear weapons laden B-52s and taking to the skies. When
SAC Headquarters signaled Thule for further confirmation,
their calls were answered with silence. Had Thule already
been taken out? Anxious moments as the Generals prepared to
send the B-52 crews to their targets inside Russia, when
suddenly the radar blips changed course and disappeared.

• USA, California, Red Bluff: On August 13, Officers
Charles A. Carson and Stanley Scott of the California
Highway Patrol were on patrol near Red Bluff about 11:50
p.m., when they saw a large illuminated object apparently
falling from the sky. Thinking it was an airliner crashing,
they quickly stopped and leaped out of the patrol car to get
a position fix. "The first thing we noticed was an absolute
silence," Carson stated in his official report. "We
continued to watch until the object was probably within 100
feet to 200 feet off the ground, when it suddenly reversed
completely, at high speed, and gained approximately 500 feet
altitude. There the object stopped. It was an oblong or
elliptical object with a definite red light at each
extremity. In between the red lights, about five white
lights could be seen occasionally. The object was capable of
moving in any direction. Up and down and back and forth. It
moved at high (extremely) speeds and several times we
watched it change directions or reverse itself while moving
at unbelievable speeds." Carson and Scott talked with
several deputies at the Tehama County Sheriff's office who
had also seen the UFO and observed the same maneuvers. The
sighting lasted a little over two hours. The UFO was
estimated to be about 150 feet in its longest dimension.
• USA, Florida, Sarasota: A yellow, elliptical object with
four evenly spaced window-like openings was observed at
ground level by an architect.
• USA, Louisiana, Lacamp: Mr. Arnold saw a round object,
fiery red in color, arriving at high speed from the south.
It touched the ground about 300 m away with a loud explosion
heard by many people, and a flame. It bounced in an easterly
direction for about 300 m, then rose again, turned west and
disappeared. The ground was scarred in nine places, and a
substance resembling metallic paint was found.
• USA, New York, Syracuse: An electronics engineer was
fishing when he heard a shrill, whirring sound and saw a
round object, with a rotating light on top, land on the
shore. The sound gradually stopped, an opening became
visible, and two dwarfs with oversized heads came out with a
hose and pumped water from the river. Later they appeared to
play like children. Their bodies glowed with lights of
changing colors.
