Number 3, page 5, has an article entitled, “What To Do In A Close-Range UFO Sighting.” The article mentions a case in Utah, where “Michael Compeadors emptied his pistol clip at a domed flying-disc a few yards above his car. The bullets ricocheted, he said, with no effect on the UFO.”<br /><br />Of course, there are two cases of the US military engaging in gunfire with UFO occupants; one in Xenia, Ohio during the late 1970s and the other at Fort Dix and McGuire AFB in New Jersey in 1978. The Xenia, Ohio case is mentioned in Kevin Randle’s “The History of UFO Crashes” and the Fort Dix/McGuire AFB case is mentioned in retired USAF Major George Filer III’s book, “Strange Craft: The True Story of an Air Force Intelligence Officer’s Life with UFOs.”Oldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00078463397041715544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-26833304991015591742021-09-10T05:03:51.753-07:002021-09-10T05:03:51.753-07:00In the November/December, 1967 issue of NICAP’s “T...In the November/December, 1967 issue of NICAP’s “The U.F.O.Investigator,” Volume IV, Number 3, on page 5, there is an article entitled, “What To Do In A Close-Range UFO Sighting.” The article mentions a case in Utah, where “Michael Compeadors emptied his pistol clip at a domed flying-disc a few yards above his car. The bullets ricocheted, he said, with no apparent effect on the UFO.”<br /><br />Mr. Randle cites the late Len Stringfield’s account of an armed conflict between a US military group and the crew of a crashed or landed UFO near Xenia, Ohio during the late 1970s, in his book, “The History of Crashed UFOs.”<br /><br />Of course, retired USAF Major George Filer III, alleged that a US Army sentry shot an E.T., who was trying to re-enter a hovering UFO at Fort Dix, New Jersey in 1978. The wounded alien supposedly managed to climb a fence to make it onto the tarmac at adjacent McGuire AFB, where USAF air policemen discovered the dead body there, before I identified USAF personnel secured the area and later flew the corps to Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio.Oldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00078463397041715544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-19010515380607052872021-09-09T18:21:31.890-07:002021-09-09T18:21:31.890-07:00I don't know why you are so sensitive about th...I don't know why you are so sensitive about this, Kevin. I was not attempting to engage in any political debate. I was making an obvious joke about people carrying (NOT PURCHASING) a firearm and aliens. Maybe I should be as sensitive about your obvious joke about arming bears, but that would be silly.<br /><br />Since you are so sensitive about an obvious joke about firearms perhaps you should not mention anything about them in your blog. I certainly will think twice before making any more jokes about firearms (or anything else) in this blog. <br /><br />And by the way, again not making a political statement, but stating a fact in reference to an issue YOU brought up, Texas DOES NOT require background checks of those purchasing guns from private parties. Texas licensed gun dealers must still comply with federal law by contacting the FBI to do background checks.<br /><br /><br /><br />Louis Nicholsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08504089634070585120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-37791060776069401172021-09-09T16:01:19.620-07:002021-09-09T16:01:19.620-07:00Louis -

The object was also seen by several other (unarmed) witnesses. <br /><br />Not sure how reliable it is, but in Keyhoe's Aliens From Space, he mentions a Dutch F-86 pilot who tried shooting a Sidewinder missile at a UFO in 1962. And there is the story in Ruppelt's book about a USAF F-86 pilot who tried shooting down a saucer with his six .50 caliber machine guns (failed). <br /><br />No doubt there are others, but I'll do some more digging in my UFO library to see if there are any other shooting incidents (no doubt there have been some in war zones).Matt Wiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07849512258519428584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-25212306000602163642021-09-01T14:37:06.973-07:002021-09-01T14:37:06.973-07:00Sorry but beer doesn't work.
