      June 24, 1967; Austin, Texas. 3:12 a.m.  Witness:  artist Ray
      Stanford. One solid, blue-white, elliptical object flew from
      northwest to northeast and stopped, seemingly in response to
      flashlight signal, for 1.5 minutes.  The object then proceeded
      along its original path at high speed and disappeared behind
      clouds. Sighting lasted 9 minutes.

    June 29′ 1967; Scotch Plains, New Jersey. 1:30 a.m. Witness:
    truck driver Damon Brown. One oyster-shaped object–2OO’ wide,
    and 25-30′ thick–with a huge red light at each end and one on
    the bottom, and a row of blue lights along the bottom.  Circled
    m.n aircraft, hovering then moving rapidly, and then followed the
    witness’ car for about 500′, veered south and departed at great
    speed after 8-10 minutes.

    July 10, 1967; Lizelia, Mississippi.  5:50 p.m.  Witness:  golf
    pro Harold Washington (Capt, USMC, ret.). One object with a
    dome, the top colored gunmetal blue, the bottom the color of old
    lead.  Moved east, crossed the highway tilted upward, moved to
    the right, accelerated and disappeared into the clouds after 3-5
    seconds.  Object made a swishing sound.

    Oct. 18, 1967; Lake Charles, Louisiana. 9 p.m. Witness:  John
    Herbert. One bright, fiery ball flashed four times while moving
    east, just above the tree tops.  Sighting lasted 1 minute.

    Feb. 9, 1968; Groveton, Missouri.  4:20 a.m.  Witness:  Mr. R.W.
    Bland. One object, 100′ in diameter, with concave sides having
    “portholes” in the center of each gave off yellow-green light.
    Hovered 25′ above ground, then moved rapidly toward the
    southwest.  Gave off pulsating sound, like a length of wire
    whirled at high speed above the head.  Sighting lasted 1-5
    minutes.

    Sept. 15, 1968; near Ocala, Florida. 9:30 p.m. Witness:
    missionary pilot Jay Cole, flying a Beech C-45 twin-engined
    utility plane.  One light performed aerobatics for 15 minutes and
    then vanished.  A second light appeared, heading toward them on a
    collision course, made a 90* turn and disappeared.  Later, ground
    radar told them a target was following them.  Sightings lasted 15
    minutes.

    Nov. 23, 1968. Newton, Georgia.  8:05 p.m.  Witness:  Mr. Jones,
    accountant.  One oblong light, 120-150′ wide.  Hovering 75′ above
    the ground, it emitted a beam that lit the ground.  Radio gave
    off static, then car engine stopped. Light flew away vertically
    and car engine restarted itself.  Sighting lasted 3-4 minutes.

    Jan. 17, 1969; Crittenden, Virginia.  3:24 a.m.  Witness:  Mr.
    Roman Lupton, test facility mechanic.  Several amber lights–one
    of them blinking–in an elliptical formation, flew forward slowly
    while moving up and down, then turned and disappeared after 2
    minutes.  Made a humming sound.
