Unidentified Flying Objects Reports

Defense Intelligence Agency · 140 pages · text by OCR

This Defense Intelligence Agency release gathers Army and Air Force intelligence reports on unidentified flying objects from several countries. It contains translated Finnish Border Guard reports of glowing spheres and lights seen near the Soviet border, a Costa Rica sighting near Puntarenas, and Afghan news items from 1959 on bright objects over Kandahar, Mazar-i-Sharif and Kabul. Other reports describe objects over Kuldja in Sinkiang, China. A 1969 OSI report from Nakhon Phanom, Thailand concludes that a pilot's ground sighting was probably a religious procession carrying ceremonial drums.

During 13 to 14 minutes this strange object followed us. It gave me the impression that when it located us it tried to identify us. At once we requested information from the Flight Control Tower in Arica and Iquique. We were informed that no other flights had been scheduled in that zone. Then I told them what we were watching.

"The pilot of the DC-6B LAN Flight #904 is Chief of Flight Operations. He has been a LAN pilot for eleven years.

"I have never had a similar experience. I didn't believe in "them". It was not an optical vision due to atmospheric reflections. I am sure it was a mechanical apparatus. The plane was flying at an altitude of 8,500 feet, at a speed of 500 Kms. The night was cloudy and without stars. I was not the only one who saw this strange object, the co-pilot, the engineer, hostess and steward also saw it. It emitted a light of an intense color, then changed and turned to radiant white. It was suspended at a distance of about 3 Kms. from us, in a straight line--it was more or less 2130 hours. Suddenly the same way it appeared it withdrew at an incredible speed, without leaving any track.

"Pilot Marcelo Cisternas was interviewed by La Nación when he arrived, and then called urgently to the LAN Vice President's Office."

Comments: Many sightings have been reported in the northern area of Chile. Personal conversation with the Chilean Air Force Wing Commander at Antofagasta reveals that none of the Chilean Air Force personnel in that area have been fortunate enough to catch sight of one.
