First, I’d like to
provide a little more insight into the government’s and by that, I mean the
DNI’s that is the Director of National Intelligence, UAP high school level report.
It was a superficial job and I have heard some defending it saying that there
were only two people assigned to it on a parttime basis. I believe Congress
required the report and I’d think that the DNI would have been able to provide
more support for the investigation if he had wanted to do so. True, we haven’t
seen the alleged classified version, but there is no real hint that they did
anything other than look at the Navy’s and Air Force’s reports of 144 incidents.
I’ll say again that I would have thought that a review of what has gone before,
if only looking at the Project Blue Book files and the Condon Committee report
would have provided some necessary insight. That is almost always the first step
at the beginning of an academic research project.
Had this been left to
me, I believe a review of the Blue Book index would have provided a few clues. Yes,
the index contains only the bare bones of the reports, but then, it does
provide information that would narrow the search. You could sort, manually, for
physical evidence, radar, photographic or just look for those labeled as
unidentified.
There are some very
interesting cases listed as unidentified, such as the landing in Socorro
witnessed by Lonnie Zamora, that would have provided a case with multiple
chains of evidence that included landing impressions and burn marks. There are
hints of additional witnesses who called the police before Zamora made his
discovery.
But of even more
importance, at least to those of us paying attention, is the way the Air Force
investigated the sighting, proving that they were not overly interested in
gathering evidence as opposed to suppressing it. I made that obvious in Encounter
in the Desert, which is an in depth examination of the Socorro landing.
Even ignoring those
sources of information because the cases are so old, there are many newer cases
that provide some interesting insights.
On May 27, 2021, a man
in White Hall, Illinois, said that he had looked out a window late at night and
watched several lights move across the sky. He then saw a bright orange object
with six or seven lights to the northeast. As he watched, the UFO suddenly shot
up into the sky. He thought, originally, that it was cigar-shaped, but it
looked more saucer shaped as it climbed out. He heard no sound.
Not really an
impressive case with just a single witness. However, the next day he drove out
into the field where the UFO had landed. There he found a circle in the wheat looking
as if it had been pushed over without breaking the stems rather than crushed.
Yes, there are photographs and so that everyone can see what the landing traces
looked like. You can find the photographs here:

And I thank William
Puckett at his UFOSNW website for that information.
Please note that this
took place on May 27, which means that it happened while the DNI was
investigating UFOs. I suppose the answer will be that the DNI was interested in
those sightings made by military personnel and had some photographic and sensor
evidence of the UFO. And I suppose they will complain that the landing took
place a little less than a month before the report was due. Of course, I don’t
know how many times I’ve had to revise a book or posting because I suddenly had
new information. That kind of goes with the territory. That case was not just a
single witness, but there were also those landing traces.
On May 15 of this year, three people watched several bright balls of light heading northeast and then saw a large disk on the horizon. Through binoculars, the witness saw the disk had a row of windows on the side and that it didn’t appear to be rotating. There were multiple witnesses who used an optic device, that is, the binoculars, to study the object. The sighting lasted about four minutes and I mention this only because it happened in Randle, Washington, and they spelled Randle correctly.
Again, neither are spectacular, but they do provide a bit of favor as to what is going on today. Not as important as what the military is sighting, but important information might have been recovered had they bothered to take a look.
