Object reported was round, large, yellow ball changing from red to yellow to white; very fast; 6 more tracked by radar; visual 2-4 min.
In the PBB file was a “discrepancy report” indicating a problem with the Air Force communicating to the University of Colorado study of UFO's pertinent information for them to analyze. This delay was a promised report...that took months to finally materialize and with some excuses to rival "my dog ate my homework."
R. Craig to E.U Condon, 21 Feb 1968 “re: comment on air base cooperation with the CU-UFO Project about Nov. 8, 1967 sighting by a military pilot while airborne near Chicago Center Visual Observation and radar. Pilot Major Vanevehoven, Ouffitt AFB, officer interviewing Capt. Roy Cunningham. Tapes of Dec. 19 conversation w pilots (TWA and other) destroyed; All information sent to Chanute AFB Command Post. Reports sent to Ouffitt AFB.'
“As of Feb 21 1968” no report rec’d by Colorado Project.” That kicked it up the chain of command. and a letter from Project Blue Book administrator was the next specimin.
Letter “Hector Quintella, Lt. Col.” Dated May and April. “FOR COMMANDER” This label seems to be the equivilent of a notice that this matter will be brought to the Commander's attention. It has the unmistakable quality of threat in those capital letters and the context.
Letter dated June from Cunningham continued the excuses by saying Vanenhoven had been on vacation [note: since Jan?? This seems an excessive amount of time for a vacation....], he also implies all sightings had been on radar. In fact the letters and reports state just that:“2. While on mission…he noted a fast moving return on the radar scope.” “The objects were never sighted visually or otherwise identified.”
In the file, HOWEVER, is a form filled out via phone call with the PILOT who hailed from Bellville, NEB. He clearly described the colors, speed, and noted five other (as in addition to) objects had been seen on the scope.
The story then, interpreted, appears to express the idea that strange round objects - colors ranging from red to yellow to white, moving very fast, had been observed by pilots in a plane by their naked eye. Other objects had shown up on the electronic radar equipment.
The fact that the report was delayed, that the facts were so obscured and 'rearranged' that is clearly apparent SOMETHING was in the skies seventy miles west of Omaha that night in November 1967.
