Declassified UFO / UAP Document
FSR Bookshelf - 16 and The Case of the Vanishing General
AI-Generated Summary
This document is a compilation of UFO-related book reviews, a specific sighting report involving a robot-like entity, and a summary of a false media report regarding the kidnapping of General William Westmoreland.
This document consists of three pages from a publication titled 'FSR Bookshelf - 16', authored by Janet and Colin Bord. The content is divided into several sections. The first section details a personal account from a witness named Domínguez Díaz, who describes observing a square-shaped, armless robot that emitted a sound similar to high-voltage electricity cables. The witness reported that the object disappeared and later left physical traces, including footprints, scorched earth, and three holes in the ground, which investigators later attributed to a tripod landing-gear. The document also includes a review of various UFO-related books, including works by Loren Gross, Daniel Cohen, and Fred Steckling. It discusses the history of the 'mystery airship' phenomenon from 1896-1897 and provides updates on UFO research groups, such as PUFORG in Plymouth and the 1982 MUFON Symposium in Canada. The final section, titled 'The Case of the Vanishing General', recounts a 1982 news report from The Evening Standard and The Sun regarding a false kidnapping claim. A woman named Edith Mello claimed that General William Westmoreland had been abducted by aliens, leading to a brief military alert before the claim was dismissed. The document serves as a compilation of contemporary UFO reports, book reviews, and media commentary on the subject.
Its body looked square — that's all. We could make out neither head, nor arms. In height, it was a little shorter than myself.
