29 sight UFO's over White
Sands Range
by Dorrance Guy.
Alamogordo, N.M. - At least 29 White Sands Missile
Range personnel were eyewitnesses to one or more
Unidentified Flying Objects between 10.30 and 11
a.m. Thursday.
News concerning the UFOs has been cutoff by
orders from the Pentagon.
All service personnel and civilians working for the
services have been forbidden to discuss the sight­
ings.
An investigation is under way at Holloman Air
Force Base, N.M., with Maj . James Stephens, UFO
officer, in charge. He, too, is not allowed to discuss
the sightings.
Terry Clark, president and general manager of
radio station KALG, Alamogordo, said the UFOs first
were spotted near Ruidoso, N.M., then went near
Holloman AFB, then south toward Orogrande, N.M.,
and then disappeared over the Sacramento Moun­
tains.
Inform ation offi cers at Holloman AFB and WSMR
were contacted by Clark and he was told the Flight
Safety Office at Kirtland AFB at Albuquerque, N.M .,
would handle the investigation. Ki rtland would make
no comment exept that all information would have to
come from the Pentagon.
Clark called the assigned number at the Pentagon
and was told that no information was available.
Capt. Frank J. Morris, director of information at
Holloman AFB, Saturday night said that Maj. Step­
hens is handling the investigation. He said the re­
sults would be sent to Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio,
and from there would go to the Pentagon. He said
no information wculd be re leased except through the
Public Information Office under the Secretary of the
Air Force.
Neither WSMR nor Hol loman AFB personnel has
any authority in the case.
Clark said eyewitnesses, when they could be ident­
ified, would not allow use of their names beca:ise
of the Air Force regulation.
However, these witnesses estimated that the " silv­
ery discs" were flying at an altitude of " 20,000 to
25,000 feet" and moving at a speed of " approximat­
ely 2,000 miles per hour."
There were several Air Force planes in the air
over WSMR at the time of the sightings. While it
took a few minutes to transfer from Army to Air
Force communications, the pilots were notified of
the UFOs. They circled around, but none of the
pilots was able to see anything unusual.
Missile firings at WSMR were checked . There were
none at this time. There was little cloud cover during
the half hour involved and, at this time of day, it
would be impossible to see a meteor. The objects
were moving much faster than a balloon.
One WSMR individual said the UFOs were tracked
on
radar. There is no accu rate estimate of the
number of objects spotted. There may have been
one -
may have been more.
There is no indication when the Pentagon will
release any information on the sightings -
if ever.

UFO's over British Columbia
On April 14th, 1967, at about 8.05 p.m., Ian Squire
and Scott McNeil! (two boys aged about 14) were
on their cycles going along Cedar Hill Crossroads,
Virginia, B.C. They crossed over Cadboro Bay Road
into
Upper
Terrace
Road
(Uplands
res idential
district), and proceeded down into Ripon Road as
far as the Circle. From there, they saw a red and a
green light hovering over what they thought was
probably the area of the Uplands Golf Clubhouse
on Cadboro Bay Road. They were on their way down
to the Yacht Club, and didn't stop to investigate,
however. The two lights were not blinking, and
seemed stationary (but it must be remembered that
on their cycles, they were moving, which prevented
their being certain about this last point). The sky
was dark and starry: there was hard ly any wind at
all.
At 8.10 p.m. the same evening, i.e. f ive or six min­
utes later, Ian Squire's grandmother (name withneld
at witness' request) was driving uphill along Cad­
boro Bay Road southwards towards the northern
gates into The Uplands district, when suddenly she
saw a red and a green light over the roadway, i.e.
higher than the height of a very tall tree. The wit­
ness, who is personally known to me through her
daughter and grandson, unfortunately did not stop
to investigate. Instead, she continued on right under­
neath the object which, she said, seemed to be
spread entirely over the width of the wide roadway.
The two colored lights seemed to be shining only
forwards, and to be from 4 to 6 feet from the extrem­
