This is a massive, 85-page, chronology of UFO incidents and events for 1967
. Our thanks for these chronologies must go to our documentation team: Richard Hall (the original 1967 chronology from UFOE II and a huge updated file), William Wise (Project Blue Book Archive), Dan Wilson (archive researcher), and Brad Sparks (Comprehensive Catalog of Project Blue Book Unknowns). Last, but not least, our thanks to Jean Waskiewicz who created the online NICAP DBase (NSID) that helped make it possible to link from the cases to the reports themselves.

The year, 1967, encompassed a major part of the most intensive and long-lasting UFO sighting wave of all time. The wave was a U.S. and international UFO sighting wave that actually began in 1966. Not only was this a massive sighting wave involving nuclear equipped missile shutdowns, but also a number of humanoid incidents were reported along with the usual ground and air incidents. Other information pertaining to the wave are explored in the following reports, the first one available from the Fund for UFO Research; the others online on the NICAP site:


  • On April 21, 1967 the Strategic Air Command reached the level of 1000 operational Minuteman I and II ICBMs.
  • It is extremely interesting, too, that it was actually 1966 when the US reached a peak of 31,700 of stockpiled nuclear warheads. The year 1967 had 30,893 stockpiled, the third highest total, and 1965 had 31,642 stockpiled warheads, 2nd highest total.
  • This was also the year of the third Arab/Israeli war (June 5-10).
  • By year's end Project Blue Book received 937 UFO reports, even though they classified only 17 as unidentified.
Regarding the incident at Malmstrom on March 16, the 142-page report by Robert Salas and James Klotz can be ordered at Faded Giant. Other missile incidents are explored in the paper by Robert Hastings,  "UFO Sightings at ICBM Sites and Nuclear Weapons Storage Areas" For information on missile deployment, see To Defend & Deter.

The latest update comes from Ref. 3 (see footnotes) by Jacques Vallee, and lists cases from the USSR.

The 1967 UFO Chronology
___________________________________________________________________________________    
 
 

Jan., 1967 (Unknown date); Galesburg, IL
City, county, and state police were dispatched to an area west of Galesburg, Illinois after reports of sightings of a large UFO, "bigger than a trailer", with blue lights and a funnel on top were received. One Knoxville farmer and several motorists reported that the UFO "was round, big as a house, had no flying lights, but let off a greenish-blue light." Vibrations from the craft could be felt in the farmer's truck as it followed him along the Victoria blacktop about 7:00 PM. ( Skylook 41, p. 13)

Jan. 3, 1967 (approximate); New Richmond, Indiana
Dome-shaped object hovered over car, roadway brightly illuminated. Forward motion slowed, unable to accelerate, loss of steering control (Section VI).

Jan. 5 [25?], 1967; Winsted [Howard Lake?], Minn. (BBU)
4:30 a.m. Civilian man [Lenz?], 32, driving to work stopped to check his 1964 Chevy truck when its engine stalled. He then saw an intense light to his right, coming closer, then landing on the road, so he locked himself inside the truck. Object 75 ft diameter 30 ft high settled on tripod landing gear, an elevator-like device came down, and a man dressed in blue coveralls with "a glass fishbowl on his head," of medium height, seemed to check something then left. (Vallée Magonia 812; FUFOR Index)

Jan. 5, 1967; Philadelphia, PA
5:40 p.m. EST. A bank employee and three others watched a disc-shaped object with alternate red and green lights around it. The object circled over the area and emitted a buzzing sound. Each time it reached the western part of the circle, it stopped and changed to a vertical position, only the red lights visible and brightening, then it flipped back and resumed circling as before. After 45 minutes it shot away to the south. From the point where it disappeared, a square object sped into view going north. This object had a dim, blue-green light on each corner. Shortly afterwards, many aircraft were active in the sky. (U.F.O. Investigator, Vol. III, No. 11, Jan.-Feb., 1967, p. 4.)

Jan. 6, 1967; Harwich, MA
11:45 p.m. EST. A man and his daughter saw a thick, double-convex (lens) shaped disc with a dark upper surface, trapezoidal sections of fluorescent light on the lower portion, and pulsating colored lights (body lights). The object responded to house spotlights by blinking in the same sequence (light reaction). (Air Force report form in Colorado Project files.)

Jan. 7, 1967; St. Louis, MO
5:45 p.m. CST. A man first saw 4-5 square lights in a tilted row (body lights). The object, a domed disc shaped like a straw hat with flickering lights on the dome, then turned bright red. It appeared to be metallic. It hovered, tilted, leveled off, and sped away. (Letter dated 1/21/67 in NICAP files.)

Jan. 7, 1967; Goose Bay AFB, Labrador, Canada (BBU)
11:05 local time. (changes date to Jan 7). An airman radar operator of the 641at AC&W Squadron with his scope on 20 mile range picked up a target. The controller estimates its speed for the first eight sweeps to be 200 knots. During the next four sweeps its speed was 2100 knots 2,400 mph). The target was held for twelve sweeps then was lost off the scope. The radar was an AN/FPS-93.  The object appeared on two different radar sets operating on different frequencies and then was seen by an experienced pilot of a MAC C-97 aircraft. (Project 1947)

Jan. 9, 1967; Lake St. Clair, Detroit, MI
2:30 p.m. Photos by Grant and Dan Jaroslaw, Mt. Clemens, Michigan, four Polaroids depicting a flying saucer. The boys claimed that they observed the saucer pass over low and silently not far from their home. The object remained in view for ten minutes, after which they reported seeing an Air Force helicopter give chase. Dr. Hynek examined the photos and stated in a Detroit News article that there appeared to be no indication of a hoax. Unfortunately, it was. In 1976 the Jaroslaw brothers admitted to perpetrating the prank.

Jan. 9, 1967; Malta, Montana
9:00 p.m. MST. Alerted by their dog, (animal reaction), a farm family saw a large rectangular object that had glowing red light along the bottom and a large amber light on top (body lights) moving at high speed. It landed in a field where it remained for an hour with the red glow its distinguishing feature. Then the object suddenly disappeared as if it had taken off at high speed. (Billings Gazette, Montana, 1/20/67, copy in Donald E. Keyhoe Archives files.)     

Jan. 10, 1967; Bruceville, IN
8:30 p.m. EST. A woman and her son, 16, were driving home when they saw an elliptical dull gray object glowing a bluish color around the rim. It was estimated to be 25 feet over the car, 30 feet in diameter and 8 feet thick. The object hovered, moved slowly, then accelerated away. It displayed a disc shape when it banked slightly, and it had several dim lights (body lights) on its rim. (Ridge, 1994, p. 19. from APRO Bulletin No. 15.)

Jan. 10, 1967; Bangor, PA
10:50 p.m. EST. An electronics technician heard an intermittent sound that changed in pitch, then saw over the treetops two brilliant lights. Each light was dome-shaped and had a ring at the outer circumference. The objects maintained a constant position relative to each other. They moved, hovered, and then faded. A light beam was emitted to the ground, then disappeared. The initial lights then reappeared and the objects departed vertically at high speed. (Narrative from witness in Donald E. Keyhoe Archives files.)

Jan. 11, 1967; Aveyon, France
Cat. 3.  White ball, oval near ground, whistling sound, heat, paralysis, car vibrating, road sign. (Flying Saucer Review, Vol. 17, No. 1; See Rodeghier, 1981, p.31)

1:30 a.m. CST. A 9-year-old saw a circular object with lighted dome, numerous body lights, short wings, three wheels hanging down, a door, and windows. A strange-looking man wearing a crinkley green suit stood in the door, sometimes illuminated by a rotating red light. The object hovered over a field, circled the house, and flew away. (Report from a dairy farm owner, Iola , KS, in NICAP files.)

Jan. 13, 1967; SW New Mexico, NW of El Paso, Tex., to Flagstaff-Winslow, Ariz. (BBU)
10 p.m. Pilot Carl M., an FO, and a passenger Jimmie Moran on a Lear Jet 23 en route from Houston, Tex., to Las Vegas, Nev., at 41,000 ft and 300 knots airspeed (Mach 0.82 or about 540 mph TAS) on a 300° heading saw a flashing [?] red oval luminous object in the 10 o'clock position. Object split into 4 similar red oval objects vertically a number of times, each separated by about 2,000 ft and each emitting a "red ray," then retracting the lowest objects up into the top object. Albuquerque radar tracked the object 39 miles ahead of the Lear jet moving on the same heading, with no transponder signal and at that moment the object blinked off visually for 30 seconds then blinked on. Albuquerque control contacted a National Airlines DC-8 over Casa Grande, Ariz., whose pilot confirmed the Lear pilot's reports. Albuquerque control warned the Lear that the object suddenly darted towards the Lear at high speed within seconds until the radar blips merged [possibly 39 miles in 10 seconds or roughly 14,000 mph]. Object flooded the Lear with intense red light so bright the pilot had difficulty seeing his instrument panel, and it maintained position in front of the Lear for a few minutes then, then blinked out then came on again and started falling back behind the left wing, then pulled forward again. (When the object blinked off radar at Albuquerque controllers would lose the object then regain it when it blinked on again (?).) Both UFO and Lear jet made left turns over Winslow, Ariz., then Los Angeles Center radar picked up both targets. Past Flagstaff the object climbed at a 30° angle disappearing to the W in <10 seconds. (Hynek UFO Experience chapter. 7, case RV-1; NARCAP; BB files??)

Jan. 15(?), 1967; Boxford, MA
3:00 a.m. EST. A witness saw a bright red object that looked like an upside down saucer (disc) with a white glowing rim. The object approached and circled the witness's home before moving away and disappearing. (Fowler, 1974, p. 343.).

Jan. 15, 1967; Granville, MA
5:45 p.m. EST. A woman and her two nieces saw a domed disc with white light emanating from portholes in its base. A humming sound was heard, and the sky and ground were illuminated by white light. Red flame jets appeared at one end when motion occurred. Speed was variable. At one point all its lights went out, and when they came back on, the portholes were showing red light. The object was seen three times within 20 minutes before disappearing. (Hartford Courant, Conn., 1/16/67; Gillmor, 1969, case 13; Keyhoe and Lore, 1969a, p. 45; U.F.O Investigator, Vol. III, No. 11, Jan-Feb, 1967, p. 4.)

Jan. 15, 1967; North Granby, CN
Unspecified time. Six miles to the southeast of Granville, MA in North Granby, Conn., two women saw a disc-shaped object with a flange around it and white beams of light from portholes. The object passed  between witnesses and a mountain.  (Springfield Union, Mass., 2/22/67, copy in Keyhoe Archives)

Jan. 15, 1967; Roosevelt, UT
6:00 p.m. MST. Two couples saw a yellow glow coming from inside a dome-shaped object estimated to be two miles away. The object hovered and moved around slowly. (Salisbury, 1974, Case 40, Table 1)


Jan. 16, 1967; Charleston, South Carolina (BBU)
(McDonald list)

Jan. 16, 1967; Warner, NH
5:00 p.m. EST. A motorist noticed a bright light seemingly pacing him. A long cigar-shaped object with amber windows eventually came toward him on a slow and steady course, and he heard a soft purring sound. On one side was a blinking red light. Two very bright white lights were on the ends of protrusions sticking out from the sides near the front and these lights shone ahead like headlights. A second witness (retired missionary), was alerted and she reported seeing two bright light beams pointed earthward with a dark area between. The lights were bright yellow in the center and white around the edges. (New Hampshire NICAP Subcommittee report, NICAP files.)

Jan. 16, 1967; Warner, NH
5:15 p.m. A couple in the same area reported seeing a slow-moving gray object with body lights. At 5:30 pm a woman and her daughter saw an object that looked like a box kite without paper (presumably rectangular) with two bright headlights on the front. The object was moving slowly, and hovering soundlessly, but there was a purring sound when it started to move away rapidly. All witnesses reported the object to be huge. (U.F.O Investigator, Vol. Ill, No. 12, Mar.-Apr., 1967, p. 5.)

Jan. 16, 1967; Southeastern United States
Approximately 4:30-6:30 A.M. Sodium vapor clouds from rocket launched at Eglin AFB, FL, blue-green color, visible over wide area.

Jan. 17, 1967; Freetown, IN
Francis Bedel, Jr., (23) of Portland, Indiana, was driving on State Highway 135, a two-lane blacktop road, north of Freetown, he later reported to State Police, when a brilliant glowing white light darted into his field of vision. It apparently hovered over the road for a few seconds, then slowly reversed its course. Bedel was so busy staring at the spectacle that he lost control of his car, which left the road and was badly damaged. State Police who investigated said that Bedel was not drinking and was not injured in the crash. (NICAP files)

Jan. 17, 1967; Same evening; Freetown, IN
On the same stretch of highway on the same night, Mr. & Mrs. Phil Patton of Freetown, reported to State Police that a brightly lighted disc-shaped craft, about 30 feet in diameter, came down alongside their car. Mr. Patton told State Trooper Conrad that the object moved along the highway right in front of their car and about one hundred feet distant from it. They estimated that it was about 100 feet above the road and they described it as a circular in shape and about the size of a small house. The Patton's reported to police that they heard no sound from the object but that its outstanding characteristic was the extreme brilliance of its lights, predominately red but with flashing yellow and white along the side or bottom of the thing. After a half a minute, it flashed up and away. According to state police who investigated, the description given by the Patton's was identical to that given by Francis Bedel, the young man who wrecked his car while watching a similar spectacle, about a mile from the scene of the Patton's experience. (NICAP files)

Jan.18, 1967; S. Williamstown, MA
12:15 a.m. EST. Four witnesses saw a flash in the sky just before a power failure occurred. Then they saw a domed disc with body lights. It was near the ground on the opposite bank of the Green River. A red glowing object buzzed their car as they drove away. (Air Force report, Project Blue Book files, National Archives; Fowler, 1974, p. 343.)

Jan. 18, 1967; Norton, MA
6:30-6:45 a.m. EST. A man saw a cloud-like object with flat bottom, a dome on top, and a blue stripe. It hovered over an airport, then accelerated and sped away, disappearing in 3 seconds. (Robinson letter, NICAP files.) Independent observation: At 7:00 a.m. a patrolman in Mansfield, Mass., about 6 miles north of Norton, apparently independently of the above witness, saw an object with flat bottom and domed top that appeared fuzzy and cloud-colored, with a horizontal stripe of gas-flame-like blue color. (NICAP report form.)

Jan. 18, 1967; Shamokin, PA
6:00 p.m. EST.  A family watched a disc with a red light on a projection at the rear approach at low altitude (estimated 400-500 feet), viewed through binoculars. As it neared, the object emitted two pinkish-white light beams downward at about a 45-degree angle from its forward edge. It then turned, rose suddenly, joined a second object and both sped away. (Keyhoe and Lore,1969a, p.43.)

Jan.19, 1967; Dunbar, WV
9:05 a.m. EST. The owner of an appliance store saw a dull aluminum-colored sphere with a flange around the middle and a window at the top hovering about 4 feet over the road ahead of him. He estimated it to be 25 feet in diameter. When he was 10 feet from it, the object took off and swiftly rose out of sight. Two projections like antennae were visible on the top and two legs underneath, with an apparent propeller between them that revolved slowly while the object was hovering, faster during ascent. (NICAP report; Charleston Gazette, 1/20/67; Huntington Herald 1/20/67; Keyhoe and Lore, 1969a, sketch p. 46; Flying Saucer Review, 13 (3), May-June 1967, p. 4; U.F.O. Investigator, Vol. Ill, No. 11, Jan.-Feb., 1967, p. 4, dated as Jan. 17.)

Jan. 19, 1967; Milan, IN
3:00 p.m. A photograph was reportedly taken of a UFO by Reed Thompson, a 15-year-old boy from Milan. The town constable stated that the boy was reliable and said that he had seen the photo himself. His report to NICAP Indiana Unit No. 1 stated he watched the object for 5-7 minutes before it sped off. Later, one of Indiana's field investigators, Don Worley, obtained further information and a black & white copy of the original color photo, along with a report and drawings. (Ridge, APRO & NICAP files)

Jan. 19, 1967; Shamokin, PA area
Around 6:00 p.m. Another family reported two objects, one with light beams with red/green blinking lights across the front, a halo of bright light, and two "antennae" on the top. About 45 minutes later, a pastor reported following an object in his car that had two antennae on the top near the rear of the object.  (U.F.O. Investigator, Jan.-Feb., 1967, p. 8.)

Jan. 20, 1967; Methuen, MA
6:30 p.m. EST. Three girls, 16-17 years old, were traveling in an automobile when they saw a string of 9-10 bright red lights on a dark object that was moving over a field. The object hovered, and swung around, revealing lights of a different color and configuration. When the girls stopped to watch, their car stalled and the radio and lights went off (EM effects). Four glowing body lights were arranged in a trapezoid pattern, red lights on top and white lights forming the base. The lights appeared to be reflecting off a metal surface. The object started moving slowly and then shot away at high speed. Independent observation: A second car about 3 miles away driven by an adult male accompanied by his daughter and a friend saw 7-8 bright lights flying low. (Fowler, 1974, pp. 138-43; Sagan and Page, 1972, p. xxvi.).

Jan. 20, 1967; Over Lake Ontario
10:15 p.m. EST A pilot and his three passengers saw a round, glowing white object the size of a large apartment building, with a ring of red lights around it that blinked off and on. The object was above the plane at about 2,000 feet. The pilot was so disturbed by the sighting that he aborted the flight, returned to the airfield and landed. (Letter to APRO dated April 2, 1967, posted on NICAP web site.)

Jan. 21, 1967; Gering, NE
4:15 a.m. MST.  Two men saw a white or silver object with red, white, and blue pulsating body lights. It hovered for about 2 minutes and then seemed to follow their car. (Hall letter, Scottsbluff, NE., in NICAP files.)

Jan. 22, 1967; Providence, NC
8:35 p.m. EST. A man saw a bright light that changed to a series of lights which maneuvered, hovered, and bobbed like a cork on water. The object seemed to ascend with less effort than when it descended . (Compare to Sept. 20, 1966, Sebring, Fla., case.) A wind-like sound was heard. (NICAP report form.)

Night. FAA Flight Service Specialists plus control tower personnel saw a large round red object that moved slowly under the cloud layer. Smaller objects emerged from the larger and flew away rapidly toward the southwest. (Letter dated 2/22/67, in NICAP files

Feb. 2, 1967; Lima, Peru
Airliner buzzed by maneuvering cone-shaped object, took position above tail. Lights in plane dimmed, radio interference, radio compass oscillated (section I).

Feb. 2, 1967; Lima, Peru
This is the only surviving photo of the funnel-shaped flying object that paced the Fawcett Airlines DC-4 passenger liner in flight from Piura to Lima on February 2, 1967, at 06:30 P.M. The passengers were all held for interrogation by authorities after the plane landed. Several of the passengers had taken photos of the strange craft alongside the airliner, but all cameras were taken and all film was confiscated. One passenger, who insisted on remaining anonymous, succeeded in saving his film from which this single photograph was made.
 
Feb. 2, 1967; Sumner, IL
A well-known craftsman, who requested anonymity, reported to the Lawrenceville-Vincennes Airport that he observed an object for one and a half hours that was doing some pretty good stunts. It hovered, accelerated, changed shape and color, was observed with the naked eye, 7- power binoculars, and a 20x spotting scope. It was described as a very bright red object, flashing like a red neon sign. The upper portion was a very bright white and red and green lights were observed around the object. The object was seen in the east northeast and noticed because of its brightness arid erratic movement. It seemed to have a very thick rim (Ridge, NICAP files).

NARA-PBB86-1249 document is a table of contents for a 71-page report and  a cover page by the Foreign Technology Division, AFSC (Air Force Systems Command).
 

Feb. 3, 1967; Piggott, AR
Time not reported. Numerous witnesses saw maneuvering objects with domes and flashing lights. Separate (satellite) and merging objects also were reported. Dogs reacted (animal reactions). (Keyhoe and Lore, 1969b, p. 71.)

Feb. 3, 1967; Lindsborg, KS
7:40 p.m. CST (8:40 p.m. EST). Five people watched a disc or ellipse that first flew like an airplane, but then moved with irregular, jerky, up and down motions, and sometimes with hesitating forward motion. The object hovered over the highway for 15-20 seconds, then sped from sight in 15 seconds. Witnesses could see military bombing practice in the distance at the same time. (NICAP report form.)

Feb. 3, 1967; Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
8:30 p.m. EST. A man saw an object estimated to be 30 feet in diameter and 15 feet thick with a row of white lights and a tangerine-colored light on the bottom (body lights). The object zipped back and forth at terrific speed. Observations were made from various points coordinated by two-way radios. (Hamilton Spectator, 2/4/67, copy in NICAP files.)

Feb. 4, 1967; Gary, IN
7:00 p.m. CST. A woman saw two large, square amber lights with a green light between them from her home. The lights approached silently and hovered an estimated 30 feet above the ground about 100 feet away from her. One light turned bluish-white and illuminated the area (environmental illumination). A dark shape was visible behind the lights (body lights). The object bobbed about 2 feet vertically while hovering and eventually sped away. (Letter from witness, 2/5/67, Donald E. Keyhoe Archives files.)

Feb. 4, 1967; Homer City, PA

6:00 a.m. The woman reporting requested anonymity. The report she gave to the DAILEY HERALD-TELEPHONE provided the most vivid description of an unidentified flying object observed as far southwest as Oakland City and as far east as Crothersville......35 miles away. At this time she arose because of noises on the roof roof. She thought it was raining. That's when she saw what looked like a quarter moon that was moving toward her. "I watched it for a half hour," she said. "It would move, then hover, getting closer all the time. It had a bright light on the bottom. The light kept going around and back and forth an the ground like it was looking for some place to land. As it got closer I could see a bright band around the middle of it," she continued. "It was oval-shaped, sort of like a cigar. The top was shiny, like metal, and the bottom was kind of orange. There was a crater on the bottom of it--and bumps, like legs." It hovered near a utility pole behind her house for ten minutes. She said when she started to dial her telephone to call someone about it the object "turned real bright orange and then blue and took off." (Ridge, Clipping in NICAP files)

Dusk. Confirmed by MUFON Field Investigator and State Section Director Eldon E. Ervin.  A building contractor, his wife and three children were traveling east on Interstate 80 when the wife first no­ticed a bright object to the north, just north of the intersectio of U.S. Highway 80 and Nebraska Highway 281 and adjacent to a Drive-In theatre. The observers stopped the car, got out, and watched for 15-20 minutes while the object fluttered across the Cornhusker Ordinance Plant some 3 miles west of the theatre. At times the object wobbled as low as 40 feet from the ground. Later it disappeared to the north. The family drove as far north as Silber Creek but could not sight it again.

8:45 p.m. EST. Independent witnesses in six locations saw a glowing object with lighted ports. A pharmacist saw and followed the object as it flew up the Ohio River at an estimated 500 feet altitude. The object circled back and emitted two huge light beams to the ground from its bottom. This appeared to be a reaction to his flashing his headlights (light reaction). Three miles away a boy in a pony wagon crashed when the animal bucked as it saw the object. Another woman said that her dogs were upset when the object passed (animal reactions). She sketched a round shape with two cone-shaped protuberances sticking out from the sides of the white ball. These protuberances contained rows of porthole-like openings. A farmer reported that the craft hovered above a field and shone its lights down. He said the lights were blindingly bright. Several witnesses, including a sheriff, reported a bright yellow light with objects protruding from it. Yet another witness reported an object that stopped for 2 minutes, then reversed direction without turning and flew directly overhead at an estimated altitude of  400-500 feet. He reported that bright lights were coming from windows on the protuberances, and a row of steady red lights was visible around the object (body lights).

Investigator, Vol. IV, No. 1, May-June 1967, p. 6; APRO Bulletin, May-June 1967, p. 6 (case misdated as May 13.)

May 6, 1967; Schirmeck, Bas-Rhein, Germany
7:00 p.m. LT. Seven lenticular (disc-shaped) black objects, aligned diagonally, each with a diameter estimated as 50 feet or more, were seen above a grove of trees about 2 km away. Each had a "smoky halo" around it. The objects suddenly vanished, then reappeared and vanished again, leaving traces in the forest. Truncated light beams ("solid light") were emitted from three of the objects, one white and two greenish. Although the beams did not reach the ground, a band of light was visible on the ground beneath them. A larger object was seen near the ground. A flexible light beam was also reported that detached from a lenticular object and then retracted itself. (Haines, 1994, pp. 91-92, from UNICAT catalogue #403.)

May 7, 1967; Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
2:00 a.m. MST. A 14-year-old boy and four others saw a spherical object with spinning top and bottom and with red and green lights (body lights) which they followed and observed for 4 hours. As it hovered at about 200 feet altitude, a "white ribbon of light" (light beam) was emitted from the bottom of the object illuminating the ground. A "muffled whistling noise" was heard as the object hovered. Then a "screaming noise" like a jet engine starting up was heard, all lights went out, and the object took off with 7-8 explosive sounds. Black streaks were found on the charred road surface (physical traces). (Edmonton Journal, 5/8/67, copy in Donald E. Keyhoe Archives files; U.F.O. Investigator, Vol. IV, No. 1, May-June 1967, p. 3; APRO Bulletin, May-June 1967, p. 7; Phillips, 1975, p. 48.)

May 8, 1967; Chester Heights, PA
11:00 p.m. EDT. A woman saw a round object with four red lights (body lights) in a curving row and a very bright center light that flashed on and off. The object hovered, moved up and down and from side to side. It darted away, reappeared, and hovered again before moving away for good. (Ritter report received 7/28/67, copy in NICAP files.)

May 9, 1967; Champaign, IL
Evening. Two people saw a white-lighted object that changed color to red as it flew rapidly from north to south. The object circled the airport, turned on a bright light, made turns, and hovered, then moved south above the witnesses, who followed it in a car at speeds over 90 m.p.h. (Witness letter, NICAP files.)

May 9, 1967; Beloit, WI
9:05 p.m. CDT. On the same evening, about 200 miles north-northeast of Champaign, Illinois, a woman heard a hissing sound, then saw an object with flashing blue, red, green, and yellow lights. The object "swayed, jumped" and shot out of sight. (The Daily News, 5/10/67, copy in NICAP files.)

May 10, 1967; Wayne County, IN
3:00 a.m. EDT. Fishermen saw a missile-shaped (elongated) object that had a glowing red ball at each end.

May 11, 1967; Wareham, MA
2:05 a.m. EDT. Four witnesses saw two inverted-dish (saucer) shaped objects with rotating lights. The objects hovered, descended behind trees into a bog, bobbed up and down like a yo-yo, and sped away when police shone a light at them (light reaction). (Fowler, 1974, p. 348.)

May 11, 1967; Torrance, CA
This picture, although a fairly clear shot, does not have a lot of details. Taken on a Saturday night, a group of pals, Allen, Bobby, Rick, and Danny were hanging out when they saw this object that "glowed reddish-white." One of the boys had a camera, and allegedly took this photo.

May 12, 1967; Putney, England

May 13, 1967; Colorado Springs, CO
4:40 MDT. At the Colorado Springs airport an object was picked up on radar. During this time a Braniff flight was coming in for a landing on runway 35. The track of the object behaved like a ghost echo, perhaps a ground return being reflected from the Braniff aircraft. The object blip appeared at about twice the range of the Braniff blip. When Braniff touched down, however, the situation changed radically. The UFO blip pulled to the right (east) and passed over the airport at an indicated height of about 200 ft. The object track passed within 1.5 miles of the control tower. The object was not visible even through binoculars by personnel in the control tower. This case was written up in the SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS, conducted by the University of Colorado, and it was stated there: This must remain as one of the most puzzling radar cases on record, and no conclusion is possible at this time. It seems inconceivable that an anomalous propagation echo would behave in the manner described, particularly with respect to the reported altitude changes, even if AP had been likely at the time. In view of the meteorological situation, it would seem that AP was rather unlikely. Besides, what is the probability that an AP return would appear only once, and at that time appear to execute a perfect practice ILS approach? (Wilson)

May 13, 1967; Vermillion, SD
8:00 p.m. CDT. A University of South Dakota faculty member and five others saw a lens-shaped object (disc) that passed under clouds, turned over, and changed direction (maneuvered). (Witness report, 7/18/67, in NICAP files.)

July 1967 - Memo Found
The most famous scandal began after Colorado Project (2) coordinator Robert Low wrote a private memorandum to the administrators of Colorado University back on August 9, 1966, to brief them on the project's aims. In July of 1967, Roy Craig, who did work very conscientiously as a researcher for the Colorado study, came across the memo and innocently showed it to project member, Dr. Norman Levine. Levine and another project participant, Dr. David Saunders, were appalled by a short passage on page five of that memo suggesting irregularities in the study's aims. During a secret meeting in early December with Hynek and James McDonald, they revealed its contents. McDonald, then a NICAP board member, made the memo public because it demonstrated in his mind a clear bias.

July, early, 1967; Taipei, Taiwan
Time not reported. Personnel at Yuanshan Observatory saw a red, cigar-shaped object that flew low and fast to the southwest. They observed it through a telescope.

July 3, 1967; Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Dr. J. Allen Hynek stated: "best daylight disc photograph I have personally investigated. That says it all! Warren Smith and two of his friends were returning from a weekend prospecting trip when they spotted the object. Smith grabbed the camera, and took two photos of the object. Definitely one of the best of the early days.

5:15 a.m. PDT. At least five witnesses from two independent locations saw an odd oblong, metallic-appearing object with a brilliant light on top and a smaller light on the bottom near the front (body lights). Two policemen and a businessman described it as a dark gray flattened sphere with a brilliant light beam on top directed upward, and a smaller and dimmer light on the bottom directed downward. A dark band circled the midsection. Two men north of Corning independently saw the object. The witnesses estimated a diameter of 50-100 feet. At first the object appeared to be hovering, then it moved slowly at a few hundred feet above the ground, finally picking up speed and disappearing from view to the south after being visible for about 10 minutes.

10:30 p.m. CDT. A farm family saw a luminous object that moved erratically, both horizontally and vertically, almost touching the ground at times. The object was round or top-shaped with a well-defined edge. It was blue-white when moving slowly and bright red at faster speed (color change/speed correlation). Animal reactions by dogs and cattle initially alerted the witnesses. An object of this description had been repeatedly sighted in the area near a Minuteman Missile site for 8-9 months. (Hall, 2001, pp. 212-13; NICAP Report Form and North Dakota subcommittee report, NICAP files; U.F.O. Investigator, Vol. IV, No. 2, Oct. 1967, p. 4.) [Near Minot AFB, Minuteman ICBM Complex]
 
July 25, 1967; Southern part of State, MI
11:30 p.m. EDT (10:30 p.m. CDT). A woman and several teenagers about 1,200 miles to the southeast reported a very similar phenomenon. They saw 5-6 objects radiating bright white lights "wobbling" over a field. When a plane flew into the area, the objects (lights) rapidly disappeared after turning bright red (color change/speed correlation). As the color changed, dogs in the area howled (animal reactions). (Stinson letter, NICAP files.)

July 26, Rowley, MA
11:15 p.m. EDT. A woman looked out her bedroom window when she heard a loud whining, whirring sound and saw a glowing orange object in the sky. Others in the neighborhood also saw and heard the object. Seven miles away to the northwest, the superintendent of a military school heard a loud intermittent whistling sound, but could not find the source. (Fowler, 1974, pp. 151-52, 349.)

July 26, Dauphin, PA
11:20 p.m. EDT. A woman saw a red light hovering near her house and illuminating the interior of her house. The color changed to white and then to rose, and the light seemed to rotate as the color changed. TV interference was reported (EM effects). (Pennsylvania NICAP Subcommittee report, 10/4/67, NICAP files.)

July 27, 1967; Farmville, NC
12:30 a.m. EDT.  Two witnesses saw an orange-yellow, "tri-level" object with lights coming from the upper area, apparently from within. The object appeared to be spinning. It hovered, crossed the highway, and was joined by three other objects (rendezvous). (Greenville Reflector, N.C., 7/28/67, copy in NICAP files.)

July 27, 1967; Newton, NH
1:00 a.m. EDT. Three people, including an electronics technician and former Air Force radar operator, and a laboratory technician and former Navy radar operator, saw an orange-red star-like light that began to move. Through a telescope they could see an elongated oval object with bright white lights at front and rear (body lights). Other red and white body lights were visible, a string of white lights along the side flashing in sequence. When a flashlight was shone at it, the object responded by reversing direction without a turn and flashing its lights back in the same sequence (light reaction). When a jet approached the object, its lights disappeared until the aircraft had passed (aircraft avoidance). Afterwards the object reappeared as a brilliant white oval. Additional signals were flashed at it, and the object responded in kind. After responding to a pattern of four light flashes, the object disappeared behind trees. (Fowler report, 8/14/67, NICAP files; NICAP report forms; U.F.O. Investigator, Vol. IV, No. 2, Oct. 1967, p. 3; Fowler, 1974, pp. 152-55, 349.)

July 27, 1967; Alexandria-Leesville, LA
2:00 a.m. EDT. Throughout several states, distress calls were heard on Citizen's Band radio from a pilot whose plane reportedly crashed. The pilot said that a red glowing object with a bright glow toward the tail approached the side of the aircraft and then the tail, forcing the aircraft down. The Civil Aeronautics Board reported a plane down and the pilot killed, but to the northeast of this area and at 8:00 pm on July 27. No apparent follow-up investigation report. (Shreveport Times, LA., 7/28/67, copy in NICAP files.)

Oval object approached fire lookout tower, hovered, illuminated ground (section IX).

July 28, 1967; Pacheco Pass (Gilroy), CA
9:30 p.m. PDT. A state forestry employee at a fire lookout tower saw an oval blue-white light coming toward him at low altitude, a dark band visible around the middle (see July 4, Corning, Calif.). A bright white light also was visible on the top (body lights). The object alternately hovered and moved around, circling the fire tower. At one point it emitted a blue-white light beam which illuminated the ground. As the object circled the tower, the citizen's band radio emitted a variable pitch whining noise (EM effects), interfering with any effort to communicate. Finally the object accelerated and sped away leaving a comet-like trail behind it. (NICAP report form; U.F.O, Investigator, Vol. IV, No. 2, October1967, p. 3; Gillmor, 1969, case 28.)

Aug. 23, 1967; Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
9:45 p.m. EDT (8:45 p.m. EDT). A commercial pilot saw a series of white lights that flashed on and off at 1-2 second intervals. Ground radar showed a target at the approximate location of the lights, and said that the object was in the sky and lower than 50,000 feet. The pilot lost sight of the lights after about a minute, but Halifax radar tracked the objects as they moved from 36 to 16 miles from the aircraft and the blips were still on radar after the aircraft continued on its way. The object also was reported by a separate ground witness. (Letter from witness, 8/31/67, NICAP files; U.F.O. Investigator, Vol. IV, No. 2, Oct. 1967, p. 1; Weinstein, 1999, p. 36, from Flammonde, 1976.)

5:00 p.m. LT. A man riding a motorcycle was surrounded by bright blue-white light that illuminated the road. As he stopped, a bright lens-like (double convex) disc estimated to be 25-30 feet in diameter, with a dome on top descended within a few feet of the ground about 100 feet away. Two humanoids about 5 to 5.5 feet tall with round helmets and silver suits emerged. One stepped nearer the witness, who fled. The object, surrounded by a pinkish glow, followed the motorcycle flying about 100 feet off the ground. A humming sound was audible above the motorcycle's engine. The witness stopped again and the object stopped and hovered, the hum subsiding. After 30 seconds the color around the object changed from pink to brilliant red, and the object tilted up at a 45-degree angle, then shot away (color/motion correlation).

10:00-10:30 p.m. LT (6:00-6:30 p.m. EDT). Multiple independent witnesses had a complex series of UFO sightings. One witness gave a detailed description of an object first seen with unaided eye, then through a telescope. It moved vertically and horizontally, changing colors from white to red, orange, and green. Through the telescope it was seen as a disc with dome, a row of "ports" around its base, apparently rotating slowly. The object glowed a bright orange, but changed to brilliant white or silvery while hovering (color change/motion correlation). At one point the object emitted a light beam to the ground. Other sightings in the area featured "bright" or "brilliant," often red-orange objects that alternately hovered and moved around. (Stanway and Pace, 1968, pp. 29-34.)

A bright, glowing orange oval then emerged from the "cloud" and headed southeast at "fantastic speed." A light again flashed in the cloud for about 10 seconds, then stopped. Scattered clouds, dull moonlight. Mode of disappearance of the "cloud", not reported. (Stanway and Pace, 1968, pp. 14-15.)

Sept. 8, 1967; Newton, NH
10:30 p.m. EDT. Four people saw a Saturn-shaped object with two white lights on its leading edge. Pinkish lights were visible along its rim, and a red light on top (body lights). The object crossed the sky, returned, and crossed again, and apparently responded to lights flashed by witnesses (light reaction). These same witnesses had a similar sighting on July 27. (Massachusetts NICAP Subcommittee report, NICAP files; Fowler, 1974, p. 349.)

Sept. 10, 1967; Barcelona, Spain
5:35 p.m. GMT (1:35 p.m. EDT). Just before sunset, an airliner crew flying northbound at 16,000 feet watched a metallic, maneuvering cone, with point upward and with mist around its lower portion. The object turned, changed course, descended and approached the airliner, passing under its starboard wing at an estimated 600-700 knots and disappearing to the south after 2-3 minutes. (Hall, 2001, p. 130 from: Volunteer Flight Officer Network, report via United Airlines; McDonald, 1968b, Case #6, reprinted in Vaughan, 1995, pp. 127-28; MUFON UFO Journal, Sept. 1987, p. 19; London Daily Express, 9/11/67 and 9/14/67; U.F.O. Investigator, Vol. IV, No. 3, Nov.-Dec. 1967 p. I.)

Sept. 10, 1967; Shepherdstown, PA
10:35 p.m. EDT. Two men in separate cars stopped and discussed their sighting of a bullet-shaped object with a flashing red light on each end (body lights) and a white glow on the bottom, that moved slowly across the sky at low altitude. (Pennsylvania NICAP Subcommittee report, 10/4/67, NICAP files.)

Sept.11, 1967; Port Elgin, Ontario, Canada
3:30 p.m. EDT. Six or more employees of a nuclear power plant saw a saucer-shaped object passing over the plant going east. The object hovered about 1.5 miles out over the lake and dropped something into the water. Reportedly the object returned two nights later and for the next five nights, the assumption being made that it was trying to retrieve the dropped object. (Bondarchuk, 1979, pp. 122-24.)

Sept. 11, 1967; Silver Spring, MD
9:30 p.m. EDT.  A couple and their five children saw a flash of bright orange light, then resolved into a bright light seemingly mounted on an object about the size of an automobile. The object appeared to make a search of a park area, moving back and forth and in figure 8's, at about 200-300 feet altitude. The sighting lasted about 2 hours, until witnesses went inside. At one point, the witnesses said, they signaled with a flashlight and the light immediately moved toward them (light reaction). (Letter and visit to NICAP Office 11/8/68, NICAP files.)  [Except for the reported light reaction, which easily could have been illusory, the report fits to a "T" with the motion pattern of a NASA instrument calibration aircraft with which NICAP was familiar, and it caused several other false UFO reports. NICAP had access to its schedule. It is important to note that, except for some inaccurate size and distance estimates-a very common error-the witness reports of the phenomenon that they observed were sufficiently accurate to allow a definite explanation.]

Sept. 11-12, 1967; Kincheloe AFB, MI (BBU)
10:42 p.m.-12:01 a.m. A senior radar operator with 7 years experience tracked 17 unknowns in an 80-minute period. The unknown targets gave stronger, harder returns than a B-52 flying in the area. Most of the targets were tracked one at a time, hovering, slowing, speeding up, changing direction. In one of two instances when two were tracked at a time, two targets joined up and both went east at 2,000 mph. These passed overhead, but witnesses saw nothing. A B-52 pilot was alerted to a potential collision course with a target, but the pilot saw nothing. (McDonald, 1970.)

Sept. 12, 1967; Arlington, VA
12:35 p.m. EDT. A witness in the vicinity of Washington National Airport saw a silver disc with a dome (sombrero shape) hovering, then it banked and moved out of sight behind trees. (Phone call from witness, 9/12/67, NICAP files.)

Sept. 13, 1967; east Bridgewater, MA
10:53 p.m. EDT. A man saw a row of orange-yellow lights (body lights) with a vague form behind them. The object hovered, changed to one light, then returned to its original appearance. The lights were seen three separate times as the witness changed position and tried to get other witnesses. (Letter from witness, 9/15/67, NICAP files.)

Sept. 13, 1967; Southbridge, MA
Evening, time not specified. Multiple witnesses, including a pilot, saw a cigar-shaped object with a row of white lights (body lights) on the side. The object hovered and maneuvered around, and once appeared to approach an airport as if to land. (Southbridge Evening News, 9/14/67 and 9/15/67, copies in NICAP files.)

Sept.14, 1967; Kanagulk, Victoria, Australia
Night. A man saw an object shaped like an inverted bowl (dome-shaped) flashing red and white for 10 minutes. The object hovered, moved to another position, and hovered again. The man's car radio would not work (EM effect) during the sighting. (Unidentified newspaper clipping, NICAP files.)

Sept. 14, 1967; Washington, DC
2:20 a.m. EDT. A woman saw a bright, orange-yellow sphere that hovered and then sped away. The object was many times brighter than the moon and was seen for 10 minutes. (NICAP report form.)

Sept. 14, 1967; Rockville, MD
Unspecified time. A boy saw a bright sphere hovering near the moon. The sphere divided into three parts, two of which accelerated out of sight, and the third lingered, then sped away in a different direction from the first two. (Phone call from witness's father, 9/15/67, NICAP files.)

Sept. 14, 1967; Western part of State, VA
4:00 p.m. EDT. A man onboard a plane enroute from Atlanta to Pittsburgh saw a flat object that appeared orange at long range and white when closer. The object moved past the plane in the same direction of travel, but at much greater speed. (Report from Colorado NICAP Subcommittee, 9/26/67, NICAP files.)  

Sept. 14, 1967; Barstow, CA
7:50 p.m. PDT (10:50 p.m. EDT). A man saw n a green light in the sky that sometimes appeared white. It circled, zigzagged, moved up and down (maneuvered), and appeared to circle an aircraft. (NICAP report form and letter, NICAP files.)

Sept. 15, 1967; Winsted, CT
7:50 p.m. EDT. Two witnesses saw a red-orange, clam-shell-shaped (disc), fuzzy object move across the sky. The object stopped and hovered, then moved away. (NICAP report form.)

Sept. 15, 1967; Winsted, CT
8:50 p.m. EDT. Separate witnesses in Winsted reported seeing a large glowing, pulsating object hovering nearby and several small beings with large heads (humanoids) moving around it. The object's  light dimmed when cars approached. (Report in NICAP files; Gillmor, 1969, p. 347.)

Sept. 17, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais State, Brazil
Time not given. Two witnesses reported that a saucer with portholes landed on a soccer field. (Beings seen in association with the object were over 6 feet tall, hefty, used breathing apparatus, and had bulging eyes.  Physical traces were left by the object. (Baltimore Morning Sun, Maryland, 9/25/67, copy in NICAP files.)

Sept.18, 1967; Cannock, Staffordshire, England
9:00 p.m. LT (5:00 p.m. EDT). A family had several sightings of red lights like glowing coals beginning about 8:30 pm. At 9:00 pm, two red lights glided in front of a full moon, disappearing behind nearby rooftops. When silhouetted against the moon, the lights were seen to be attached to a larger object. The body lights were positioned near the bottom center. The object was grey and shaped like a "saucer upturned on top of a disc" (lenticular disc). In a direct comparison, the diameter of the object was 3-4 times that of the moon (1.5-2.0 degrees of arc). (Stanway and Pace, 1968, p. 15.)

Sept. 18, 1967; Sault Ste. Marie, MI
6:00 p.m. CDT (7:00 p.m. EDT). A woman saw a flat, round (disc-shaped), dark-colored object with a band of light around its circumference. The object landed in a field, ascended, then moved out of sight. No traces of the landing were found in the field. (Evening News, Sault. Ste. Marie, 9/20/67, copy in NICAP files.)

Sept.19, 1967; Belgogradskaya, Russia
7:40 p.m. A witness named A. Serdyukov, who was traveling with a group of communications technicians, observed a luminous half-moon rising high in the sky directly in front of them. It descended rapidly, leaving a cone-shaped tail. The men stopped their vehicles to watch it. After about forty seconds the half moon appeared to swing in the sky, becoming smaller in size, as its color turned to red. It assumed a drop-like shape and stopped, hanging in the sky for a minute, after which it seemed to dissolve. (Ref. 3)

Sept. 20, 1967; Bucknall, Stoke-On-Trent, Staffordshire, England
8: 30 p.m. LT. At twilight, with a clear sky and bright moon, seven witnesses watched a large, bright silvery oval move slowly overhead, stop, and hover. Two (possibly three) smaller bright round silvery objects emerged and sped off in different directions. One dropped vertically and one moved back in the general direction the parent object had come from. The parent object then moved away slowly and disappeared in the distance in the direction of Leek, Staffordshire (Stanway and Pace, 1968, p. 16.)

Sept. 20, 1967; Leek, Staffordshire, England
Around 8:30 p.m. Three witnesses saw a very bright round, slightly oval object "bright as a car headlight" hover overhead in the clear sky for about 30 seconds. The object then began moving away slowly toward the east, suddenly accelerated, stopped abruptly and hovered again for about 15 seconds. Finally it accelerated and shot away to the east at "fantastic speed" and disappeared into distant clouds. (Stanway and Pace, 1968, p. 16.)

Sept. 21, 1967; Barcelona, Spain
12:30 a.m. Small beings (humanoids) with large heads and white garb were seen moving toward a brilliant round object on the ground. Their car was lifted (mass displacement) and witnesses were in shock. (Ballester Olmos, 1976, p. 12.)

Sept. 23, 1967; Amherst, MA
1:37 p.m. EST. A geology professor saw an elongated, silver object and then a second similar object about 5 degrees from the first. The objects flew straight, parallel paths at steady speed, no sound, no wings, and no change in brightness over 40 seconds. They disappeared into low cumulus cloud and never emerged. (Hall, 2001, p. 161; letter to Raymond E. Fowler, Massachusetts NICAP Subcommittee Chairman, copy in NICAP files; Fowler, 1974, p. 349.)

Sept. 23, 1967; Mount Holly Springs, PA
9:35 p.m. EDT. A policeman saw two lights, one was stationary. The second light moved toward the first, and the two merged. The resultant single light hovered, then divided, with one light moving away and the other remaining motionless. (Pennsylvania NICAP Subcommittee report, NICAP files.)

Sept. 24, 1967; Minot, ND
10:30 p.m. CDT. A podiatrist and his wife saw two disc-shaped objects with domes on top. They first appeared as a string of lights flying at high altitude. The string of lights split up and dove below 10,000 feet. Then the two discs separated, one moving away to the north-northeast and the other to the southeast. (North Dakota NICAP Subcommittee report, received 11 /7/68, NICAP files.) [Minot AFB Minuteman ICBM Complex]
 
Sept. 25, 1967; Tavigny, Buret, France
Daytime. Two hemispherical objects with flat bottoms were seen by a woman to emerge from some mist. The objects were about 65 feet in diameter, and had a 5-foot-thick rim around the bottom, and a chrome-like surface. At one point, a small red ball of light came out of each object. One of the objects flew around a house and the other seemed about to land, then both rose and flew off. (Haines, 1994, p. 84, from UNICAT #629.)

Sept. 25, 1967; Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Night. Five policemen saw a white light that moved at low altitude over the highway ahead of a pursuing police car. The object suddenly stopped, then veered and accelerated away. (Toronto Telesram, 9/25/67, copy in NICAP files.)

Sept. 28, 1967; San Mateo, CA
3:24 p.m. PDT. Two witnesses saw six silver discs that moved rapidly across the sky, entered clouds, emerged with a 7th disc, then moved off until lost in clouds. (Letter from witness, NICAP files.)

Sept. 29, 1967; Bt. Zaporoje and Volgograd, USSR
Time not reported. An airliner encountered an unidentified object flying above the plane. The aircraft's engines stopped (EM effects) and then started again when the object disappeared. (Weinstein, 1999, pp. 36, 50.)

Sept. 30, 1967; Lakewood, CO
9:45 p.m. MST. A couple and their children saw a hat-shaped object (disc with dome), an "antenna" extending from the top that moved steadily in level flight across the sky, hovered, and dropped three fireballs. (Colorado UFO Project report form, NICAP files.)

Early Oct. 1967; Sukhumi, Russia
Noon. Engineer V.N. Chechyanov and his coworkers saw a strange object in the clear blue sky for half an hour. It hovered for a while, then moved along the shore, rose and disappeared. A man who watched it through binoculars reported that the object was shaped like a triangle, with no fuselage and no tail, and was the color of aluminum. (Ref. 3)

Oct., No date, 1967; Glencoe, Ontario, Canada
Night. Three adults and their children saw a cluster of unidentified red and white lights that seemed to be spinning as they apparently paced the witnesses' car. The lights then hovered over the farm when the car stopped, and then moved away. (London Free Press, Ontario, 10/12/67, copy in NICAP files.)

Oct. 2, 1967; Rockford, IL
Time not reported. A policeman, an FAA specialist, and another man saw an unidentified silver-white, egg-shaped object. (Omaha World Herald, Nebraska, 10/3/67, NICAP files.)

Oct. 2, 1967; Melville, NY
7:30 p.m. EDT. An aircraft company engineer and his children saw a white disc with rectangular windows, and a white light on top (body lights). A white light beam from the bottom illuminated the ground. The window lights blinked in sequence. The object hovered at low altitude, then moved slowly off. The witness tried to follow in his car. When he blinked his headlights, the lights on the object blinked out in sequence (light reaction). (Hall, 2001, p. 161.)

Oct. 2, 1967; Ipswich, MA
8:30 p.m. EDT. Four witnesses who were together plus two other single, independent witnesses saw red, greenish blue, and white lights (body lights) apparently on an oval object that gave off a yellowish glow. At times the object glowed red all over. It hovered, spun, and moved up and down slightly. Dogs were barking (animal reaction) during the sighting. (Massachusetts NICAP Subcommittee report, NICAP files; Fowler, 1974, p. 350.)

Oct. 4, 1967; Nova Scotia, Canada - Shag Harbor Crash/ Retrieval Incident
Evening, ADT. From early evening until 11:30 pm, numerous independent witnesses observed unexplained aerial activity. Near Sambro at 9:00 pm,  the captain and crew of a fishing boat saw four brilliant red lights in a box formation that appeared to be on or just above the water. Occasionally one would flare up so bright that it would cause an afterimage in their eves. The objects also were tracked on ship's radar. Between 11:00 and 11:30 pm, northwest of Briar Island, the captain and crew of a fishing vessel saw a brilliant white light the size of the moon. As they watched, three brilliant yellow lights emerged and formed a triangle around the larger light. The satellite objects then moved across the sky and back at high speed. Observations also were made by other vessels. Lower (southwest) portion of Nova Scotia, opposite Maine. Sambro is about 12 miles southwest of Halifax. During this same time interval 5 miles southwest of Weymouth, in the general direction of Briar Island, a policeman and three game wardens saw an orange-colored light just above the tree line moving silently and slowly with spark-like objects emanating from the light. At about 11:20 pm just west of Shag Harbor, teenagers in a car saw an object flying low, flashing four lights, one after the other, in a straight line. It appeared to be slowly descending at a 45 degree angle. When next seen, the object had impacted the water's surface 200-300 yards offshore. It drifted on the surface showing a pale yellow light. Boats were sent out to rescue passengers from a presumed downed airliner, but searchers found only a dense yellow foam. (Ledger and Styles, 2001, pp. 14-17, 21-44.)

Oct. 5, 1967; Johnson City, TN
10:15 p.m. EDT (11:15 p.m. ADT). Multiple witnesses reported an object with blinking multicolored lights, three portholes, and a prism-like component on the bottom that emitted light rays. The object hovered, moved slowly, sometimes rising and falling, and ascended. (Johnson City newspapers of 10/5/67 and 10/17/67, copies in NICAP files.)  

Oct. 6, 1967; Vandenberg AFB, CA
7:00 PM. Vandenberg AFB radar detected a very large stationary object some miles over the Pacific off the Northern California coast. Later, radar detected numerous small, but strong, targets traveling eastward in irregular flight. The location and time of Case #35 was listed in the Condon Report as "South Pacific, Fall 1967." Dr. James McDonald looked into the case but I couldn't find any record of his actual findings and comment. 

Oct. 10, 1967; Bow River Forest, Alberta, Canada
Time not reported. A forest fire lookout saw an oval object with a rim around the circumference and a green light on top. The light rotated, and when the object moved it turned white (color/motion correlation). The object hovered, then moved off and disappeared emitting four blue flames as it departed. (London Evening Free Press, Ontario, 10/16/67, copy in NICAP files.)

Oct. 10, 1967; Leek, Staffordshire, England
7:00 p.m. LT (3:00 p.m. EDT). Three witnesses using 7 x 50 binoculars saw a yellowish oval with a small dome on top, a yellow light rotating around the dome. The object also had one red and two green body lights that pulsated off and on. As the lights pulsated, the color of the object changed from yellow to white. At 7:30 p.m. a similar object shot across the sky, stopped and joined the first object (rendezvous). Both objects were gradually obscured by clouds. (Stanway and Pace, p. 16.)
 
Oct. 11, 1967; Aldersyde, Alta, Canada
7:50 p.m. MDT. A woman reported that a dark oval object with a dome on one side circled above her car. The car's electrical system went dead during the sighting (EM effects) and restarted after the object departed. The witness felt cold (physiological effects) during the sighting. (Unidentified clippings from Calgary newspapers, copies in NICAP files; Rodeghier, 1981, p.37)

Oct. 11, 1967; Unitah Basin, UT
8:30-9:00 p.m. MDT. Many people, singly and in groups, independently reported seeing a brilliant reddish-orange object moving south to north. It was described as a large, flat-bottomed dome (hemisphere) with pulsating red, green and yellow lights (body lights). A man driving a truck into the mountains reported that a luminous orange object approached and hovered over a truck, changing to green and blue. Its light illuminated the ground as bright as day. The object followed the truck then departed at high speed. (Salisbury, 1974, p. 55-61.)

Oct.12, 1967; Roanoke, VA
6:37 p.m. EDT. A man saw a bright, blue-white sphere hovering over a mountain. The object moved laterally when an aircraft approached it (aircraft avoidance), then accelerated and sped away. Witness had seen similar objects before. (NICAP report form.)    .

Oct. 12, 1967; Dubuque, IA
6:30 p.m. CDT. Seven children saw a silver, egg-shaped object with legs that appeared to be preparing to land in the yard where the children were. The object moved off when the children approached. It was estimated to be the size of a picture window. Reportedly a similar object was seen several hours later over a nearby town. (Stars 6t Stripes, 10/15/67, NICAP files.)

Oct.13, 1967; Bt. Elnora and Mirror, Alberta, Canada
1:50 a.m. A locomotive engineer reported that his freight train was paced by an unidentified object for 30 miles. The object once came within 100 yards. was seen to be flat on the bottom with a dark dome-like structure on top (domed disc). It was estimated to be 40-50 feet wide and 15-18 feet tall. The underside was circled by brightly colored, blinking lights of red, yellow, orange, and blue-green (body lights) that seemed to be recessed into the object (not protruding). The bottom center had a large white light about 10 feet in diameter. A vapor-like light trailed the object. The engineer called the attention of other railroad employees to the object. Possible EM effect noted on radio. (Keyhoe and Lore, 1969a, pp. 10-11.)

Oct.14, 1967; Ouray, UT
7:45 p.m. MDT. Two men in a car saw a sharp-edged, bright orange object shaped like a "haystack on fire" (hemisphere), flat on the bottom, that rose from on or near the ground emitting blinding light as their car approached. It moved at "terrific speed" and circled across the face of the nearly full moon, blotting out a fraction of the moon for a second. No sound was detected. The object ascended vertically and disappeared. (Salisbury, 1974, pp. 53-55.)

Oct.17, 1967; Holmeschapel, Cheshire, England
6:00 p.m. LT (2:00 p.m. EDT). A truck driver on the M6 Motorway watched a dark circular craft moving parallel to his path for 5-1/2 miles as he drove at 35-40 m.p.h. He stopped and got out to better observe the object, which was disc-shaped with a rim around the center and had illuminated portholes. He heard a whirring sound and rush of air and saw what appeared to be exhaust flames issuing from the rear portion of the rim. Finally the object turned and, with a "sliding" motion, moved across the Motorway, accelerated, and departed at "incredible speed" back in the direction it had come from. (Stanway and Pace, 1968, pp. 17, 44-46.)

Oct. 17, 1967; Somerset County, NJ
9:20 p.m. EDT. A policeman and another man saw red and green lights in a square pattern that glided, hovered, ascended, then divided into two groups which moved off. A popping sound, like fireworks, was heard during the sighting. The object or group of lights once approached when a spotlight was shone at it (light reaction). (Plainfield Courier-News, N.J., 10/18/67, NICAP files.)

Oct.17, 1967; Roosevelt, UT
10:00 p.m. MDT. A couple saw a large orange, ball of light that hovered over a corral. It was joined by a second orange ball (rendezvous), and they flew away together to the east. (Salisbury, 1974, Appendix B, Table 1, case 54.)

Oct.17, 1967; Berkeley, CA
10:04 p.m. PDT (11:04 p.m. MDT). A woman saw an egg-shaped object which swooped down, skimmed over rooftops, stopped, retreated, then fell to the ground. Initially it appeared like a balloon with orange fire at one end and seemed to rotate and wobble. When stopped, it became a ball of fire that expanded as if about to explode. When it retreated it diminished to a bright light, then to a flowing ash before falling. (Letter from witness, 10/23/67, NICAP files.) [Very probably a flare or candle-carrying hoax balloon, often made from a laundry bag, which were common at the time.]

Oct. 18, 1967; Pyatigorsk, Russia
6:00 p.m. Astronomer Z. Kadikov, from Kazan Engelgardt observatory, saw a bright object in the northwest. It was a crescent with sharp edges and pointed horns, yellow in color with a pale bluish tail, moving at about 1.5 degrees per second. It became smaller as it flew and was eventually reduced to a point. Finding other witnesses, Kadikov was able to triangulate the phenomenon. He estimated it may have been about fifty miles above the earth and some 1,800 feet between the "horns," flying at about three miles per second. (Ref. 3)

Oct. 18, 1967; Lake Charles, LA (BBU)
9 p.m. John Herbert [and Sonnier?] saw a bright, fiery ball flash 4 times while moving E, just above tree tops. (Berliner; FUFOR Index)

Oct.19, 1967; Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada
9:45 p.m. MDT. Five teenagers saw a disc with two white lights at one end and a red light at the other (body lights). The object appeared to be spinning. It swooped down from high altitude, leveled off, and moved away at high speed. (Unidentified newspaper clipping, NICAP files.)

Oct. 20, 1967; Milledgeville, GA
4:36 a.m. EDT. Two police officers reported that a bright red ellipse followed and illuminated the interior of their patrol car. Later police sightings that morning very possibly or probably were astronomical. (Hitt, 1999.)  

Oct. 21, 1967; Blytheville AFB, Arkansas (BBU)
6:16 a.m. 2 control tower operators and an observer at the S end of the runway saw 2 dark oblong table-latter shaped objects with 7 ft long exhaust at about 1,200-1,500 ft height fly E to W, tracked by RAPCON radar at a distance of 2 miles, make a turn to the SW when they disappeared. (Hynek UFO Exp ch. 6, case DD-3)

Oct. 22, 1967; Newnan, GA
4:30 a.m. EDT. Two police officers saw a ball of white light flying at treetop level. They stopped to get a fix on it, then tried to approach it, but it apparently outdistanced them so they turned back. The object then reversed course and began following them. Some sightings during this period appear to have been of astronomical objects, but in this case the object gained on them, caught up, began climbing vertically and emitted a bluish light beam that illuminated the roadway, then "zoomed up into the sky." (Hitt, 1999.)

Oct. 22, 1967; Maritimes, Nice, France
3:38 p.m. LT. Two witnesses saw a metallic-appearing sphere with a dark central band. The object crossed the sky quickly in a zigzag pattern. (Report from local investigator, NICAP files.)

Oct. 22, 1967; Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Evening, CDT. Two real estate salesmen saw three brilliant, 2-3 foot diameter, pulsating red lights floating over a field, apparently body lights on a larger craft. A car stopped with six people who also saw the lights. Two similar objects (apparent craft with body lights) appeared, one illuminating the low cloud cover as it descended, and took up positions relative to the first object (rendezvous). The three objects then silently moved away in formation, changing positions to form a triangle. Through binoculars, they could see the shape of the craft behind the lights against the lighter background of the sky, resembling rectangular masses of black glass. Dipping and bobbing, the formation approached power lines, lighting the lines with a red glow as they flew by. They moved to a TV tower area, now appearing as three pulsating orange-red lights. After 5 minutes, the objects broke formation and flew away to the northwest in single file. Physical traces, including small footprints, were found in the field at the site where the object had been seen hovering. One witness reported a bad headache, leg ache, burning on the face, chills, and other physiological effects suggestive of exposure to ionizing radiation. (Bondarchuk, 1979, p. 47-50.)

Oct. 22, 1967; Humboldt, Saskatchewan, Canada
7:45-8:00 p.m. CDT. Two witnesses saw three lights that were about 4 feet in diameter. The two outer lights were orange/amber and blinked or flickered. The center light was a bright red inverted teardrop shape that moved up and down at regular 2-3 second intervals. The lights were seen intermittently for a half hour as they followed a truck, appearing to descend to within 3 feet of the road surface. The truck made a U-turn, and the lights reversed their direction so the truck was then following them. The lights moved away and blinked out. A few minutes later, one of the witnesses saw a dark object the size of a locomotive in a field. (Clausen report, NICAP files.)

Oct. 22, 1967; Milledgeville, GA
Night. Two groups of policemen about a half-mile apart, while in radio communication, saw a glowing orange-yellow, cylindrical object rise from near the ground about one-quarter of a mile away from one of the groups.

2:30 a.m. CST. A police patrolman (Herbert Schirmer) saw a hovering, bright aluminum, elliptical object estimated to be 15 feet tall and 20 feet wide with flashing red lights inside. The object rose to about 50 feet off the ground, then emitted a loud twanging noise followed by a beep which got faster, louder, and shriller. The object then shot up and disappeared in 3 seconds. While rising, it emitted a red-orange light beam toward the ground. Under hypnosis, the officer recalled EM effects on his vehicle, meeting with beings, and being on the craft.

The small object left a long streak behind it as it circled around the children at a distance of  18-24 inches and then disappeared. The larger red object disappeared at the same time. Similar reports were made to the police and to the Space Engineering Department at the University. (Report from Saskatchewan UFO club, NICAP files.)

Dec. 8, 1967; Deputy, IN
12:30 a.m. EST. A woman reported a large bowl-shaped orange object that levitated her, and she suffered unspecified physiological effects. She had a time confusion and later reported visits by small beings and  physical marks left on her body (suggested abduction). (Ridge, 1994, p. 24.)

Dec. 8, 1967; Idaho. Falls, ID
7:40 p.m. MST. A 15-year-old girl saw a very bright white illuminated circular object (disc) the size of a car hovering over her house. The object tilted and rotated so she could see a transparent dome on top with two humanoid figures inside. It appeared to wobble as it moved away, and in the distance the light dimmed and turned orange. (Hall, 2001, p. 459, from: Keyhoe and Lore, 1969a, pp. 29-30.)
Idaho Falls Disc

Dec. 11, 1967; Chico, CA
Night. Two women saw a hat-shaped object with a rounded top (domed disc), a glowing light in the center of the underside, and a series of blinking white and green lights along the rim (body lights). The object maneuvered at high altitude, circling, starting and stopping, and bobbing up and down like a yo-yo. Reportedly a similar object was seen 2 hours earlier at low altitude by other witnesses.

December 12 Meeting
Important event regarding University of Colorado UFO project (2) under AF contract takes place. At this December 12 meeting, Dr. David Saunders, Norman Levine and Robert Low's Administrative Assistant, Mary Lou Armstrong were surprised to hear that James McDonald knew about the Low Memo, apparently from Donald Keyhoe, so they decided to give him a copy so he would at least know for certain exactly what it said and not have to rely on hearsay.  McDonald briefly mentioned the memo in his own lengthy 7-page critique of the Project sent to Low himself on Jan 31, 1968, and this is what got Saunders and Levine fired a week later, on Feb. 8, 1968. (Sparks)

Dec. 12, 1967; Grand Rapids, MI
Exact time not given. A woman and four others saw three silvery-white, oblong objects that were flat on the bottom, hat-shaped on top (domed disc). One was larger than the other two. The two smaller objects disappeared when a jet came near (aircraft avoidance); the larger one disappeared when the jet got even closer. (Unidentified newspaper clipping, NICAP files.)

6:45 p.m. EST. A woman driving with a child in the car reported that a disc with dome, red and green square windows, and white light from underneath passed near the car illuminating its interior and forcing the car off the road. The object hovered nearby at telephone-pole height. The car experienced EM effects (engine and lights failure). A humming sound, and "voices" were heard. The two cities are about  40  miles  apart.  (Syracuse Herald-Journal, N.Y., 12/21/67, copy in NICAP files. Case investigated by Ted Bloecher and J. E. McDonald, report in NICAP files.)

2:00 a.m. MST. A motorist reported that a dome-shaped, metallic-appearing object with body lights around its edge hovered about 150 yards away. The car lights dimmed and the engine sputtered (EM effects). The witness's flashlight would not work during the sighting. (Rodeghier, 1981, p. 39.)

Dec. 13, 1967; North Granby, CT
5:10 p.m. EST. Three members of a family saw multiple cloud-like rings with dark centers that appeared from behind a storm cloud. They moved into a tall vertical formation, then suddenly accelerated away. The number of objects was estimated to be 8-10, and they were observed for 10 minutes. (Unidentified newspaper clipping, NICAP files.)

Dec. 14, 1967; Clinton, MI
11:30 p.m. EST. Two aircraft pilots in a car saw a triangular object with a red light at each tip (body lights). It hovered, approached at low altitude, changed course (maneuvered) while overhead, then moved off at high speed. (Unidentified newspaper clipping, NICAP files; U.F.O. Investigator, Vol. IV, No. 4, Jan.-Feb. 1968, p. 6.)

Dec. 15, 1967; Saxon, WI
1:00 a.m. CST. Three men driving to Saxon saw a rapidly spinning sphere with a white light on top and on the bottom, and red and green lights around the equator (body lights). The object approached at low altitude, hovered over a nearby field. While hovering, a smaller sphere discharged from the bottom, and it discharged a smaller sphere, which then discharged a yet smaller sphere These small spheres hovered momentarily one beneath the other, then returned to their original positions within each other and into the original object, which then sped out of sight. (U.F.O. Investigator, Vol. IV, No. 4, Jan.-Feb. 1968, p. 6.)

Dec. 22, 1967; Millersburg, OH
Time not reported. A silvery disc with multicolored body lights revolving around its perimeter buzzed a car. (UFO Fact & Comment, Goodyear UFO Society, Akron, OH, Jan. 9, 1968.)

Dec. 24, 1967; Belmont, MA
Night. Eight witnesses saw 6-7 lights move across the sky one after the other (procession), spaced 30 seconds apart and each following the same path. Their brightness was comparable to Venus and their color was orange. Small twinkling lights, dropping vertically, seemed to fall from several of them, and some of the main lights dimmed or went out while some flew off over the horizon. (Haines, 1994, p. 44, from UNICAT #302.) [Apparent "fireball procession"]
