1965..........A date to remember in ufology. Most people who know of this land mark case might know of these things but buried in the facts of this famous sighting are some most intriguing things you might not know. I will quote right from the book and give you page numbers for reference. Now let us look at some facts as presented in this book that was written in 1965.
As much as the main incident centered around a young man who witnessed a huge ufo over a field on the morning of Sept 3, 1965 much more then that happened over the next month or more. Why go over this sighting? Because it is pertinent to us today.
Pg 159 of the book the mother of Norman, Mrs. Dolores Gazda, pleaded with her son to keep it quiet but he wanted to tell his story. She was adamant to keep it quiet as she did not want the stoey to get out as she did not want her house invaded. This is a direct quote:
"I knew that dozens of people would be coming up here trooping into our house and I hate any kind of publicity and that sort of thing.
I had no sooner said that, later in the morning, when all these people started coming to the door. And then the people from the air base started coming, then the navy and it just did not look right, plus half the time my son was not there and I was stuck talking to them. Now let us think about that."
Why was the navy involved? This sighting was over land! In a horse field about 15 miles from any sea water!
On page 160 it tells how, "he said he sat there until day light and they saw one in the daylight. SomebodyNorman and his friends would sit in a car watching the field until day light. He said it definitely a saucer shape, and it had a bluish hue to it.
Then the mother got interested in it and tried to see it herself but had no luck." " But 2 of her friends saw it one morning as they came out of the Exeter hospital. Right over the hospital!!!! Somebody in the hospital called the police that night and said it was bothering all the electricity in the hospital- lights and equipment"!!!!!! Where have we heard that before.
As John Fuller was questioning her she asked John if, "Has anyone ever mentioned to you about these things following power lines? And also water I heard some people say they look for water but of course thats all but guessing."
Some facts that John Fuller pointed out in his book:
- These UFOS areand can: exiist in uncountable numbers
- Move at incredible speeds and impossible patterns.
- They hover for a considerable time often less then tree top level.
- They are usually silent although some times a high frequency hum is heard.
- At least four people report large objects 60-68 feet in diameter rising up silently behind trees.
- The falling leaf pattern is a common pattern.
Then John relates that, "reliable, but off the record information from the Pease Air Force Base indicates frequent radar blips and fighters are constantly scrambled to pursue these objects."
Also John in this book that, "No one has ben harmed physically by any of these objects but psychological trauma has been evident.
Some other interesting tidbits are: A coastguardsman from N.H. told me(John) that although his station would never release any official information, he was on watch one night when an enormous red-orange disk moved slowly up the beach, not more then 15 feet above it!!
From an Air Force pilot I (John) learned that pilots had been ordered to shoot down any ufo it came across to bring it down.
A military radar operator told of an object came in to the base and was clocked both visually and on the radar scope. It brazenly loked like it was going to land but instead of landing it hovered over the base!
A brilliant orange object landed directly off the edge of one of the runways at the Pease AFBilluminating a wide area where many o fthe Air force officers and their families lived.
Constant radar reports were being made at the Portsmouth Navy Base. NOTE: (That is where a ufo was shot at in 1869) In one instance an object hovered over the tower at the base before taking off at an incredible speed.
