Mystery Photo October 1965 in Oklahoma: UPDATE?

Has this mystery been solved? One person has suggested that this was Tulsa and another that it was the area where Alan Smith, the 14-year-old who took the famous color photo of the UFO, August 1965 lived. The Smith family lived then at 4719 S. 29, in "west Tulsa."  

Maybe someone can provide some information on this scene. It is in a Project Blue Book file labeled "OklahomaReports 6978166 9984 " and contains this one photo. It is dated October 1965. 

The cases for Oklahoma for 1965 do not include any with an October date. What is there are three files for Hinton (Jan.), Hugo (Feb) and Tulsa (August).   

The Tulsa is a photo file with attempts to duplicate the UFO photo of a 14 year old Tulsa boy (possibly the first color UFO photo). That file is number 08 6977940 9666, Given the hundreds of cases and firsthand reports of the summer of 1965 in Oklahoma the sparse files in intriguing. Especially, when the "reports" and data for Oklahoma can be found in two other MASSIVE files for other locations instead. 

If anyone knows where this photo was taken and what event it represents, please leave your information through the comment form portion of this webpage.

BURNED BY A UFO!

 Recently (2022). a British tabloid released information they said they had obtained via a FOIA request. The alleged declassified Pentagon records state that people reported encounters with UFOs had left those witnesses with a variety of conditions, listed as ranging from abductions to radiation burns. 

More than a thousand pages of documents were released in early April 2022, according to the  The Sun , what some label a British tabloid, submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), a part of the U.S. Department of Defense.

The Sun released the report, titled “Anomalous Acute and Subacute Field Effects on Human Biological Tissues,” on its website on April 5, 2022. The report, conducted by the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program (AATIP), looked at the supposed health impacts on humans who claimed they had paranormal encounters with unidentified objects or alleged occupants. 

In the files of UFO cases there are several instances of people claiming - and often having medical support - burns. In those cases, often the story is supported by other accounts of people seeing strange things or also observing the same objects reported. When injuries are claimed by people who have encountered a UFO the resultant diagnosis is often "radiation burns."

Radiation burns can refer to a simple sunburn but usually the reference is related to one of three groups of radiation.  (1) Radiation, or ionizing radiation which is the release of free radicals. (2) Microwave is radiation producing heat and the effecets of this thermal rdiation may not appear until sometime after the exposure. Then there is (3) Electro-magnetic, a range of radiation including radio frequency engergy (REF) and extra-low frequency (ELF).

For cancer specialists the conern , according to the Cancer Society website, is ordered as thermal, radio frequency energy, and ionizing energy. In 1946, the danger in the concept of radiation was largely ignored and forgotten as the killer of Marie Curie and many others. After the bombs fell on Japan, in an attempt to halt a global war and reduce projected future casualities, the word took on a new and more horrorific reality. One of the number one topics of science-fiction post WW2 was not flying saucers as some have promoted but the impact of using such a weapon on the environment and its human population: the mutants, the end of the world, and the monsters were the real fear. 

It is most probable that most UFO alleged burns are the result of very Earth based attempts to harness nuclear power or electro-magnetic forces for power or flight, or they were the result of encounters with experimental craft with some serious leaks or design flaws.

It must remembered that several gorvernment jobbers contracted to design new technology and aircraft were contracted by the CIA, NSA, DOD and others unnamed.  Most of these companies have blanks in their records covering years they held top-secret contracts and records were destroyed. Agencies were working behind the scenes to develop some super-secret craft, working with EM power sources,, and other systems that are only now making their way into mainstream awareness.  A recent news piece spoke about one major research agency was looking into making "teleportation" a reality. 

Some of the major stories of encounters and burns:

1951 - In Korea, GI's 60 miles north of Seoul reported in May an object caused burning and tingling sensations on skin and other effects.

1957 - Several "accidents" occurred : September Mayah, Russia, a Plutonium plant accident; October 10, Windsalk, UK labeled the worst UK accident; November 10, an incident at Madison, Ohio.

1964 - April 24, a 10 year old year reported seeing an object, and then reported burns, New Mexico, Sharon Stull, was also reported to have had rapid growth spurt.

1967, May - In Oklahoma county, Oklahoma, a 11 year old girl reported to have been burned on seeing a UFO in  her back yard. 70 % of body burned but clothes not burned, according to story.

1967, May 20, Falcon Lake, Canada, a miner was marked by a grid pattern burn on his chest through his clothes.

1977 - January 22, Laguna, Mexico, a man was burned

1978 - Fresno, California, a police officer was burned and a spot where something was did not grow anything for years.

1980 - December 29, The Case-Landrym Case in Texas. Two women and a little boy saw an object, 20 or more helicopters, felt heat and received classic "radiation" burns per doctors. 

The last case, probably the strongest from an evidence standpoint, has seen the victims attempt to gain restitution from the military and the government. This was based on the witnesses seeing helicopters of that look during the sighting. To date both have denied knowledge of the object, the 20 or more helicopters reported or of the case at all. 

Since, reasonably, the only entity in the country to have access to that many helicopters of the styles reported or be near an experimental craft the size of the one described would be the military or the government the likelihood of this being a run-amuck government experiment run high.

Aliens, it might be expected, arriving at our planet in the galactic equivalent of a run-down junk heap, held together with wire and hope, seems an unlikely scenario.  Too many accidents, like too many crashes argue for human testing - and carelessness - rather than advanced power systems and equipment malfunctioning so often in and around the planet. 

Rebuilding alien technology could be a source of the much noted advances of technology and account for the numerous "accidents" when average citizen encounters something strange. 

THE BARIUM AND COPPER OXIDE LAUNCH: SEPT. 24, 1966



 On September 24, 1966, from the Wallup Island, Virginia launch site, at 043 EST (5:13 am) a Javelin rocket was launched with a payload of barium and copper oxide. This was then ejected at 319 and 570 statute miles.  The dispersal created a cloud two times the size of the moon and most witnesses reported a) a cloud of first green tinged with red and blue, b) others saw a bright blue comet coming straight toward them. This object expanded to a size 1 1/4 miles and 100 feet deep that moved eastward in a ball shape. It gradually disappeared from view. but it left a tail or streak.

There were numerous visuals by ground and air September 24, at 0913z.

The cloud that resulted generated reports from Alabama, Louisiana, Ohio and Arkansas. The Wallop Island site was located on the Atlantic coast of Virginia but the drift of the "cloud" was to the east. In 2017, a similar test was conducted to "stain" the atmosphere.  (Project Blue Book, 1966-09-6978900, File 8295987, with two photos).

LIGHTS AND SHADOWS: MARS

I had reason to re-examine the whole face on Mars story and the images of 1976 and the more recent ones that look so different.  At the same time, I was looking at maps of the surface of Mars I was intrigued by the fact that some shadows seemed to have slightly different slants to them. This might be explained by the overlapping of layers of photographic scans taken at different times. It is an interesting point and it was difficult to find a source that explained the process of stellar cartography to the point that how maps of Mars are created is explained in detail.

Playing with the older image I wondered how it would look if the two halves were placed together. The resulting image was interesting. If  you mirror the one side the end result seems to suggest a long haired dog; so those who claim DOG is GOD spelled backwards may have been close...

UPCOMING BOOKS

 Several projects are winding down. Still time to add your stories though! Just use the comment form to submit your story (see the tips page). 




Two monographs are also in the works. These will be chronological lists of sightings, with significant historical events providing informative context, influences, and consequences.  These draft covers are the direction of the series of "UFO SKIES".






LOOKING FOR THE STORY: Saucers at the Cinema (A Drive-In)

Project Blue Book closed in 1969, the office packed up by 1970 and yet the reports of people seeing things in the skies continued. Sometimes they garnered no story of their own but were merely mentioned in another news piece. Events common knowledge by word-of-mouth in a community sometimes never made into the pages of the newspaper. 

That was the case of the CIGAR SHAPED OBJECT over a drive-in theater in Norman, Oklahoma in 1971.

Having lived in the university town when there was no drive-in, I was intrigued. To my amazement, there were actually two drive-ins in the town plus three traditional movie theaters. There was the Rancho Drive-in managed at one time by OU Alum Jim Shrewberry.  It was located in the area of Alameda and 12th Street.  The one most people seemed to remember was on that remained open into the 1980's and the Riverside Drive-in Theater, 1 1/2 mile southwest of Norman.

The incident was briefly recounted in an article of November 1971 in the college newspaper, Oklahoma Daily, discussing a science fiction literature class deciding to do a survey of campus and public related to the UFO phenomena. In passing it was mentioned that several different people had reported seeing the same object over a local drive-in theater. It was described as "cigar shaped", and of "lighted metallic" material and that when it disappeared, it did so by raising straight up. 

CAN YOU HELP? Anyone have any personal, first-hand information about this event? Use the contact form on this page to send it to me. The volume 2 of SOONER SAUCERS is coming to a close but your information just might make the publishing date!

A final note, those who like to argue that most UFO sightings of the 1950-1960 period were caused by movies at the theater or the drive-in or on television. Turns out there were more horror movies made in those years than UFO movies and so with that logic there should have been a lot more "monster" sightings in that time frame. Oddly, there were not.  Also, a comparison of sighting details and reports indicates the same re-occurring shapes and movements from 1947 were consistently reported through the years of Project Blue Book.  Good, academic-sounding, reports on the topic but deeper looks into the facts appear to indicate something else. 

Thanks, and "keep watching the skies!"

The 54/12 Group (1964): Who Watches the Watchers?

An edition of the A.P.R.O. newsletter of 1964 mentioned the "54/12 Group" and reading the context it was clear that this was a group said to be functioning in the manner later attributed to the so-called MJ-12 or Majestic secret government group.  (See The Invisible Government - 1 (bibliotecapleyades.net) and the APRO issue here AFU 19641100 APRO Bulletin November : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive ).

Fast forward to the sweeping uncensored history of Area 51 and the revelations of the super-secret compartmentalization of a level of government that could easily produce both the 59/12 and the MJ-12 scenarios easily. (See AREA 51 | Annie Jacobsen

The concept of the ultra secret hidden government takes on a level of realism and possibility that can cause shivers to the thoughtful person.  Especially, when on replays the answer of one head of the CIA when asked to reveal something to a sitting President. He was informed that he - leader of the United States and global leader -  did not have clearance for the requested information.

Juvenal asked :  “Quis custodiet ipsos custodes."  A phrase that, roughly translated, means, "Who will Guard the Guardians, or Who watches the watchers.”

Accountability and supervision are crucial to insure laws are honored, rights maintained, greed and hubris are contained, values are upheld and actions always align with mission and goals.

Who is watching today's watchers and how will we know when they do not?
