Camera of fsf.; t in TX UFO News Report By THOMAS 1\<1. COMELLA E:XCLUSIVE! ... For the last few months TRC hns been exten 'ivcly investigating a lt.'ries of sightings in the Clevelnnd, Ohio, rea. When all of the facts, diaerrams and maps were integrated, w e realized that thete incidenb formed one of the most comprehen .. ive UFO files to be found anywhere. For many weeks TRC pondered what action should he tc,ken nd we finally placed the complete File in the hnnds of the Air echnical Intelligence Center at Wright Patterson Fidd, Dayton, Ohio. The case file was also sent to prominent penon!'l in other ~ovf"rnm~ntal agencies. We feel that this file proves conclu!4iv-ly that unidentified flying objects are controlled by extra-terrestrial intelli nces who are visiting the Earth for a very definite purpo!je. Viaiton Move In Close: Cleveland Observed:. On Octoher 14, 19)5, I w driving north on Kemper Road in CltvelarlcT. Al lp'prt'\X, 7:20 p,m. a string of yellowish lights cau~ht my attention m tla~ upper right of my windshi-ld. I pointed the object!'~ out to m y companion and we were both ama7.ed at the brh.:htrae!'l"l and ar nngement of the strange objects. They were much hri~hter than the nearby car and street lights and stood out brilliantly in thr night sky. I slowed down and we watched them make a ~radual t um. They executed this maneuver fllimultaneously. As :won as po'iible I phon~d my report to other investigators in the area with ... hom we had been working. The case wa~ r~corded but not much ... ,u mncfe of it. Exactly one week later, on October 2 I st at 7: 15 p.m., Ed Smith of Cl~veland telephon~d me. He descrihed an orange object with a dome on top that made several "pa~ses'' at the National Malleable Steel Bldg. The object projected two, h~am-like liKhts downward before di:Uappearing to the east. I im- mediat("ly called AI Rou!h, who lives in South Euclid, an ea!ttern snburh of Cleveland. AI told me that he and his wife had seen ~h~ object p:.ss klw over their home. The next dny, TRC started an extensive investi1ation. The results of that investigation and the condutions drawn follow: Immediate interviewing revealed five other witnt-!'!t~s to the h.appening along a route from west to east. They included a coun- try club doorman. a Sohio gas station attendant and local re~ident ... .'.laps were dri\wn of the object's course and when all of the fach .ere correlated we had a very complete record of a UFO flight over Cleveland. T P establish the unknown classification, AI Roush spoke to many authorities who.e buainPss it is to know what goes on in the air. Mr. Hilliard, Safety Division of the C.A.A . told TRC that the only advertiina plane in this area wa not up during the UFO si~htinar. Also, a discusaion with Mr. Turner of the Goodyear \N"inKfoot Air Ship Bas'! in Akron, Ohio, revealed that no Llimp was over Cleveland that night or any other night that week I Another check with Mr~ Corhan of the Cleveland Air Taxi, fnc . proved that a helicopter could not have been re:Jponsible for I the unusual sighting. With these results, Mr. Roush proceeded to the Canton Air Force Filter Center with hia report. He waa inter- viewed by a Sgt. Lee, who aeemed extremely interested. After .\cveral conferences with officials of the base. Sgt. Lee told Mr. Rou<Jh: well, we think what you saw was an unidentified flying o hject I 1\lo:tt of the UFOs travel at tremendous rates of speed, make ah.ue turnft and hover. This object is not in that cla3s. How- ever, from your account, this was a UFO . . no other explcmation !Fems to fit. IE a UFO is se~n. we :~tudy it, get radnr on it and send a rt-port on to higher autho r ities at \Vright Field. Dayton will con- d .tc t an air investigation if n ecessary. If the sighting can he ex- \in,.d fine. but if it cannot be explained we have orderd not to :ele ... ~,. anythinc on it. So cnd~d the fir.-t part of our investigation. The next step .-1.1s to plot the sightings and approximate the course of the UFO. The rc-3ults were amazinal The first record of the object waa made by Ed Smith, a Pin- kerton detective. He was on duty at National Mdlleable when an ubj~ct. with a dome, made three appcarcnt '"passes" at the huilding. fhe s.,me object, or anotlu:r one just like it. moved east toward the Cleveland auburlu loing altitude all the time.
