We have had ~ny reports of strange objects fl7ing arou~d our area. If you have an~r informatiol!l o the sightings, would you please let me know. Also, if you have any literature at all or U. F .O!s would vou please send some to me. Sincerely Yours, AFTR fiVE OA~ U1'UfUI TO Anchorage, Ala~ka ~entegon Building Wa.shingt:.on Are they taking any action? No NORAD is getting several reports from reliable sources of there own interest. Namely people in the various defense sector regions. That have been reporting sometbings. Now ~e you still there? Right. Listen there' s one entry here L-:pelieve you've got let me see. Yeh. 935 CO of the CO Army Depo&- at S~ey, Alaska reported 5 UFOs heading east. That was at 0935 I believe r--dia . ."pass on up. Right. What is the weather conditions at this time and the visibility? Hold on one sir. Okay ... Colonel, yes. SE 1 is reporting clear and 15. Clear and 15 and the conditions of darkness~ What is it there now is it daylight? Stand by 1 sir. --Colonel, Okay go ahead. They just about passed the twilight and -the sun is beginning to come up. Right, so some of these observations have been made under twilight condi tiona. Well sir I ;rould say some were but most were made in periods of darkness. See the first entry we have on this was at 0700z. Right I have been here all night and I've been listening to everyone of them. Well let's see the last one was 104o and that would be just about 30 minutes ago and the sun is just about breaking so I would say oh the last one was seen at 1017. I would estimate it began aDOund the end of twilight. Keep us posted this is starting to look interesting. well pass on as quick as we get it after we pass on to NORAD. Okay thanks. Bye. No radar pickup. Are you getting any sightings other than those that are reported from the SAC people? We had reports from our people out at the 25th region and the 29th region. Are these numerous and about the same pattern from SAC. Right. Just about identical. Well okay, as long as we're following directions here we thought ~e were getting numerous sightings when our SAC was Well we've had this reported to us by them. We bad similar reports from the objects in the air from our sources as well as from SAC. Does this reach a point where your instructions require for you to make an aerial observationt We have no such instructions.

NEW "CONTACTEE" STOAYz On february 11th, a Watsonville, California television repairman named Sid Padrick told newspaper reporters that he took a ride in a flying sau- cer at 2 a.m. one night the previous month. Padrick claimed that he was invited aboard with assurances that the nine-ma n crew was "absolutely not hostile,'' and that he f ound the craft perched on a hillside near his home. The contactee was vague about some aspects of his trip, but did say that the crew looked like nor mal human beings of a verage height, and that the ship's motive power came from "energy transferred through a light source known to them," i.e., known to the space people. The commander of the craft als o told him that they have been here before and that they are visiting us on an exploratory tri p of some sort, t hough Padrick feels that they have other peaceful motives, as well. Padrick claimed that the Air force had as~ed him not to discuss the incident in detail. His report of the adventure was m~da to Ma jor D. a. Reeder at Hamilt on Air force Base, ano t he date was forwarded to Wright-Patterson Air force Base in Dayton, Ohio, as is the routin4 procedure in UfO cases. More details on this incident will appear in our forthcoming J une issue of SAUCER NEWS. SAUCER fLAP IN VIRGINIA CONTINUESa Clippings are still pouring into our office regarding the saucer flap which began in Virginia last December, and which extended at least through the end of J anuary. On the night of January 25th, several people watched a twinkling object, shap- e d 'like a pia plate a nd looki ng like a s pinni ng top, which bobbed up a nd down at very lo ~ alti t ude over the Aappahanneck Ri ver, at Fr edericksburg , Va. The ob ject was observed for a period of ten minutes. Another s i ghting was made the same nigh t at the f oot o f a mountain nea r Mar- ion, Va. This uro had sparks flying from it, a nd was heard to explode with a '' c r acking sound." A few seconds l ater, something ros e up from the explosion and headed toward Mar- ion. A sm8ll fire resulting fro~ the explosion was put out by forestry officials, bu t ~ppar~ntly no phy~ical e vldenca was round (See Reverse) Fearuary 4, 1965--Anchorage, Alaska--Dozens of UFOs, ~ulticolorad and flickarir.~ rrere reoorted by ~ar.y reside~ts at lo~ le1el fli~hts abova hoc.es in )~c~orage. SOilliCE: ?~l~er F=o~tiers~an, Alaska . (Page Two) At Wallops Station, Va., one of America's NASA rocket launching facilities, a SA engineer and others observed a UfO on J anuar y 5th, at 6 p.m. The engineer, named empsey Burton, descriqed it as a bright object shooting up from the southwestern hori- zon. It appeared about one fourth the size of the moon; was yellowish-orange in color; and traveled from the horizon to directly overhead in just a few seconds. 9urton added that the mysterious object looked ''like an oversized comet without a tail.'' The Air force is investigating the incident as well as another previously unpublished UfO sighting which took place at Wallops Station back in October of 1964. finally, we have a report from Staunton -scene of several previous UfO inci- dents -which tells of a group of seven teenagers who saw and later photographed little men from outer space. This story has all the earmarks of a hoax to us, but we give it to you for what it is worth: Steven Houffer, 16, was driving on U.S. Route 250 with several friends when he saw a suspicious-looking man near the side of the road . He stopped the car and chased the individual until the man was joined by two others, all about 3~ feet in stature. They were allegedly wearing one-piece, skin-tight gar mets that were silver in color. Later Houffer went to a nearby barn with a photographer, whera a color picture of one little man was taken. Just how they knew the creature was in the barn is not clear, nor had the picture been developed at last report SAUCER fLAP IN ALASKA: On the night of January 27th, dozens of residents of . Anchorage, Alaska, contacted local police and newspapers in concern over a multicolored flickering UfO which hovered near the c ity. Dr. William C. Langworthy, assistant profes- sor of chemistry a t Alaska methodist University, trained a 100-power telescope on the ob- ject and concluded that it was ''odder than anything I've seen before.'' The professor stated that although smaller than Jupiter in apparent size, the unknown object cast off more light than does that planet. Whatever the object was , it apparently stayed beyond the range of our radar, according to an Air force spokesman, who said the incident was un- der investigation. Many other sightings were made the previous night, including one by Mrs. Ed of Anchorage. She was sitting in her living room with the family when she saw an ex- tremely bright light ''with the intensity of an arc light'' shining through one of the house's large windows. The frightening event was accompanied by a buzzing sound, which turned into an explosion a few seconds later. The whole family observed that the light was coming down through the traes from above, and for a few moments, just before the ex- plosion, it shined into the living room with blinding intensity.
