6/18/81--FIVE MILES SOUTH OF NEW HAVEN CONNECTICUT-- : 6 PM: While flying eas oun a ee e pi o an passenger o a ama a rcraft watched in amazement as an egg-shaped object--made of highly polished metal--passed off of their left side at a distan ce of about one-half mile at the same altitude. The pilot made a sharp turn to the left in a futile attempt to follow the object which appeared to be moving in excess of 300 knots. The object was estimated to be 15 to 20 feet in diameter and was visible for about 20 seconds. 6/ 6/81--NEAR KANSAS CITY MISSOURI-- :0 PM: A black object like two soup wit in a wings length of a small Estimated to be about three feet in diameter plane, the object was headed due east and /21/81--1 0 MILES SOUTHWEST OF DOVE CREEK COLORAD0--8:10 PM: A large g owing o Ject, mov ng in e ve ght, was o served y the three man crew of a United Air Lines flight traveling from Los Angeles to Denver, Colorado.

The object was climbing from the southeast to northwest, accelerating at extremely high speed with a long blue flame coming out the aft end. At 11:45 PM the pilot and first officer of a Flying Tiger airliner--flying 100 miles northwest of Sparta, Penn., at 37,000 feet and inbound to Kennedy International Airport--observed a bullet- she.ped object moving at about 1200 miles per hour. At the same time a United Air Lines DC-8 located 100 miles west of Sparta reported seeing a long glowing object streaking across the sky. The object was not tracked on radar. ii/ /80--NEAR OZONA TEXAS--6: 0 PM: A small aircraft had just ta.ken off and was a out 000 o t e groun when the pilot spotted a glowing object coming rrom the direction or Sonora at a ver y high rate or speed. It ~&s long in shape and pointed on both ends. About six miles out of Ozona the object seperated into two parts and the back section moved into a position directly under the rront section and the two objects passed the plane. They were both the Sli111e intensity of light. As the pilot watched the objects move over Ozona their glow disappeared. Instantly the airplane engine stopped and its lights went out. A few seconds later the glow around the objects reappeared. The plane's engine started by itself and its lights came on. Both objects then dropped to a lower altitude and moved away toward the Mexican border. Five additional witnesses on the ground also observed the objects. Later that same evening what could have been the same object was observed in the middle of U.S. Highway 87, southeast of Sterling, Texas and about 7$ miles north of Ozona. The object was on the highway and lunged upward to avoid being hit by a car occupied by two women. 9/27/80--NEAR POMPANO BEACH, FLORIDA--3 PM: The pilot of a small airplane observed whit appeared to be two aircraft approaching head-on. As they neared his plane he could make out two objects shaped like hamburger buns which were moving side-by-side. 'When they got to within 200 feet of his aircraft they began to circle his plane without banking. The objects were yellow in color, about 10 feet in diameter, and remained about 200 feet distant. The two objects circled the small airplane about 50 times in five minutes, then broke away to the north. The ob jects were not detected by radar. *********************** ***************Phenomena Research was founded in 1955 under another name for the purpose of conducting a scientific study of the UFO phenomenon. The volume of evidence and information which has been analyzed to date indicates that intelligently controlled, structured wingless vehicles and devices are entering Earth's atmosphere and that they represent highly advanced civilizations and technologies whose ports of origin are on other planets in other solar systems. Some. of the reported UFOs are someone else's spacecraft. The National UFO Reporting Center is manned 24-hours every day so that any individual or agency wishing to report a UFO may do so without fear of . ridicule or unwanted publicity. The Phenomena Research Report is distributed without charge to cooperating individuals and agencies. Our addre~a is: P.O. Box 1807--Seattle , WA 98111. Phenomena Research is non-profit. (6)
