OCTOBER 25, 2013 - UNITED STATES - Newspaper headlines on July 27, 1860, announced that a sectarian civil war had just broken out in Syria between the oppressed Druses and the region's dominant Christian sect.
File illustration.
In the United States, Abraham Lincoln, Stephen Douglas, John Breckinridge and John Bell were campaigning for president.
In New York City, many people were at their windows and doors seeking relief from the day's sweltering heat. The sky was clear, except for the occasional vivid flash of sheet lighting. At about 9:30 p.m., the sleepy evening's peace was broken by an unexpected great luminance in the sky and the appearance of two great red balls of fire silently passing overhead. The local press called them "Chariots of Fire."
The New York Evening Post reported that the flaming objects moved too slowly to be meteors, as it took nearly a minute for the objects to cross the sky. Observers stated that the objects appear to be as large as dinner plates with trails that appeared to be about 10 feet long.
In Philadelphia, reports described objects the size of a full moon as they blazed across the sky. The reporter noted that the motion was not as fast as expected of a meteor, but certainly faster than anything man made.
In the nineteenth century, Washington, D.C., was a sleepy southern town. The Washington Star reported the blazing objects to be about 10 degrees of elevation off of the horizon. The account further reported that the two objects coming from the northeast faded into a cloud bank and that the whole sighting lasted about 30 seconds.
The Norfolk Day Book newspaper, in Virginia, pronounced the event as "... a strange and beautiful display...," and "... exceedingly brilliant..." It described the two balls of fire as resembling a pair of "dumb bells." In that era, dumb bells were cast iron gym weights that were round balls separated by a hand hold. The Norfolk sighting ended when the fire balls entered a sizable cloud bank.
Finally, on Saturday morning, The New York Evening Post reported that the two objects had also been sighted in Albany and along the Hudson River valley.
All through the newspaper accounts, the reporters refer to the two fire balls as moving fast from the northeast towards the southeast. Most of the articles also note that the event wasn't as fast as one might expect from a typical meteor.
Most of us who have seen meteors know that such events are usually "Oh My" moments that briefly appear and are gone in the blink of an eye. In the research I have done, most meteors and small asteroids enter our atmosphere at between 20,000 and 50,000 mph. Space craft in low Earth orbit typically fly at about 17,600 mph. The near Earth asteroid that entered the atmosphere over Chelyabinsk, Russia, in February came in at an estimated 41,000 mph, or 60 times the speed of sound. At that speed in the high atmosphere, a pressure wave forms in front of the meteor and forces it to explode. In Russia, that explosion occurred at about 76,000 feet and had an explosive force of about 440 kilotons of TNT, or about 25 times that of the Hiroshima atom bomb. The Russian asteroid was in their sky for mere seconds as you might expect from a meteor.
I did some very rough math to calculate the speed of the 19th century New York City "Chariots of Fire." OK, some assumptions: A bright object on a clear night at 10 degrees off the horizon could easily be seen 30 miles out. So we'll assume a 60- mile flight path across the horizon. The New York Star reporter said that the event was in the NYC skies for about a minute. A 60-mile window for 60 seconds would give us a rough speed of 3,600 mph. That speed divided by the average speed-of-sound in air of 770 mph would suggest that the two fire balls were flying at about Mach 4.7, or nearly five times the speed of sound. That is very slow for a meteor, but that speed is typical of a space craft like the space shuttle or the Russian Soyuz capsule still in its high altitude phase of its re-entry.
Also, if you take into account the time window the fire balls were observed over the 460 airline miles between Albany and Norfolk, Va., the whole transit time would have taken about seven and a half minutes. This is consistent with the loose time around 9:30 p.m. each of the newspapers reported.
For my money, I would wager that the 1860 balls of fire over the East Coast were a pair of space craft entry events.
Let's look at some October sightings in our New York Skies:
* Oct 1: At about 10:45 p.m. near Middle Island (Long Island), roundish orange/yellow fiery balls of light were reported that made no sound and that moved quickly across the night sky from the northwest to southeast.
* Oct 2: At about 10 p.m., a Naval veteran was driving down state Route 5 near Caledonia and witnessed a large triangular craft as it passed overhead about 500 feet off the ground. The craft was reported to be the size of a passenger jet. It rotated, turned 90 degrees to the right and silently vanished.
* Oct 9: At about 7 p.m., three Bronx residents witnessed a group of up to 15 red/orange lights in the sky for about 10 minutes, before they just disappeared.
* Oct 11: At about 8:45 p.m., a Rochester couple was coming home from the grocery store and noticed a very large, bright, star-like object hovering in the sky below the cloud cover. They indicated it winked out then reappeared in about the same spot.
* Oct 11: At about 9 p.m., a Fayetteville resident reported a brilliant white chevron with no blinking lights silently traveling to the northwest. This white light changed to pink.
* Oct 12: At about 1 p.m., a trained observer in Owego witnessed a disc-like object flying from the southwest to the northeast over the western horizon by the village of Owego. The object made no sound and had no visible wings. Shortly afterward, a second object of similar configuration was observed flying from the east to the northwest near Binghamton, but at a higher altitude.
* Oct 14: At about 2:15 p.m., a Peekskill resident observed a silvery/gray oval or egg-shaped object at high altitude moving across the sky for eight to 10 minutes before it vanished.

GREAT PHOTO OF A UFO OVER GEORGIA
1-13-13 CALHOUN GEORGIA
It was about 4 am; I was driving northbound on I-75 and with the exception of a car in front of me the road was empty. Then a very bright green object just appeared in the sky ahead of me. It wasn't flying in a path, it just appeared, then sort of dropped on an angle but you can tell it was a path to the ground and then disappeared under the tree-line. I was able to see enough detail that it appeared to be a ship. I know this is crazy but it reminded me of those fighter type ships you see in Star Wars. This was no airplane, no balloon and the green light coming from it was just a very bright fluorescent green that lit up the sky. The entire time couldn't have been more than 15 seconds but it was clear, I was wide awake and I'll never forget it. As soon as it seemed to descend to the ground the car in front of me pulled over at what I now know as the Gordon Rest Stop. I followed the car because I had to see if this person saw it. I parked next to the other vehicle and as he got out, I said "did you see that"? He confirmed and said, "what was that?" I said: "that was a UFO, I'm not crazy right?" He said it caught him off guard and he didn't get a good look at it, but knew it wasn't normal. While he didn't get as great of a look at it as I did, he confirmed to me I wasn't crazy. I saw a very good shape of it; I can draw and send you a picture of what I believe I saw if you like. AS I drove off, the next exit was Calhoun, GA. I did not get the other person's name.
Second witness:
It was around 6:40 when I glanced out my window facing the South. To my left I saw a bright white/green light in the East and that was moving in my direction and I had a feeling about it; it just didn't seem like a typical plane.
I noticed it stop getting closer for a few seconds, appearing to just hang in the sky just over the trees.
It then abruptly yet so smoothly turned to the South and then again back to the West towards me. It looked very strange, so I decided to take snap a picture of it and my jaw dropped when I saw the photos!

Let us talk about UFOSOPHY.
Several interpretations of the UFO Strangeness.
Initial we prerequisite ponder the UFO as Ecosystem.
UFO as something that is forever display, inquiring definitions and promoting charlatans, profiteers and self-proclaimed contactees and devoted fauna.
UFOs were forever display as outlook. Go is better terrestrial than UFOs. Existing were forever give to, plus us, most probably beforehand us. Unchanged, forever better or underneath the same form and office.
The Egyptians were waiting for a disclosure, and the Indians, and the Jews.
Of course display was no disclosure and never motivation be, ever since UFOs are forever give to, for us but never plus us.
Like not an iota knows what UFOs are, charlatans talk. Disprove themselves, and most of the times grow ill-advised.
UFOs are promoters of talk, talk and talk, worthless talk.
UFOs are display but are not display. Ply a incomplete existence, crack space-time signs. Fiddle plus us perhaps? No, display are no indications of this.
UFOs are what we think of they are, and as well give the lie to us. The phenomenon is not insincere genuine but as well, not insubstantial.
Words about a disclosure is solely absurd, ever since display is go like a bullet to charge. The UFO phenomenon has no "sincere nature". We motivation never recognize what IS. Existing is no secular summary ever since UFOs cannot be compared plus go like a bullet else.
UFOs are a broadcast for recently a few community.
Greatest extent family solely do not kindness about UFOs.
UFOs motivation forever be display, in the outlook, as a joke, as a idiotic plan.
In the role of can we do? Go, solely watch pleasure-seeking that not even this is central in any way.
Chief original and funny is to watch the "Exopoliticians" and other EXOS, native tongue jargon, contradicting themselves, prose New Age finer points and by chance nature a catch of dollars or pounds plus all this silliness.
That is all we recognize about UFOs and Ufologists.

1. ROSWELL, 1947
Sin duda es el incidente OVNI m'as famoso de la historia - y ahora un fen'omeno de la cultura pop -. Los cazadores de OVNIs afirman que los militares de EE.UU. hab'ian capturado una nave alien. Mientras que los militares sostienen que el "platillo volador" fue en realidad un dispositivo de vigilancia de una operaci'on no clasificada, los creyentes todav'ia citan actividad extraterrestre en la actualidad.
2. EL CASO DE KENNETH ARNOLD, 1947
Con este incidente se acu~no el termino 'platillo volador'. Kenneth Arnold, hombre de negocios estadounidense y piloto, afirm'o que hab'ia visto nueve platillos volantes volando cerca de Multiply Rainier, en Washington.
3. AVISTAMIENTO EN WASHINGTON, D.C.,1952
El Piece "Robertson" de la CIA se form'o despu'es de que los reportes de avistamientos de OVNIs en los cielos de Washington fueran respaldados de manera convincente por los contactos de radar de tres aeropuertos diferentes. Sin bar, la Fuerza A'erea de los EE.UU., disipando los temores de una invasi'on alien'igena, sugirieron que los cambios en la temperatura hab'ian provocado que las se~nales de radar se doblaran y dieran resultados falsos.
4. LA ABDUBCI'oN DE Climb, 1961
En 1961, Barney y Betty Climb de Portsmouth, New Hampshire, informaron de que hab'ian sido abducidos por extraterrestres. Seg'un la pareja, hab'ian sido seguidos por un platillo volante mientras conduc'ian su coche, luego abducidos y posteriormente sometidos a un examen f'isico 'intimo. Tambi'en recuerdan haber observado un "mapa de las estrellas 'en 3D dentro de la nave. Incluso bajo hipnosis, los Climb mantuvieron su historia y despertaron un inter'es masivo entre la poblaci'on.
5. LAS LUCES DE RENDLESHAM Forest, 1980
Uno de los m'as famosos casos OVNI del Reino Unido es el que se produjo por el avistamiento de varias luces inexplicables cerca de las bases de la Affirm Air Push en Rendlesham Forest, en el internal de la costa de Suffolk. Las autoridades insistieron en que no hab'ia nada misterioso en marcha y que no hab'ia riesgo para la seguridad nacional, sin bar, como los testigos que estaban de guardia eran militares, a los informes se les dio una gran credibilidad, y la creencia persiste: las luces eran de una nave extraterrestre. Incluso ahora, las solicitudes para obtener m'as detalles todav'ia se est'an haciendo bajo la Ley de Libertad de Informaci'on.
6. AVISTAMIENTO DE CLYDE TOMBAUGH, 1949
El respetado astr'onomo estadounidense Clyde W Tombaugh ruminate un jarro de agua fr'ia sobre el consenso que hab'ia en la 'epoca sobre que la mayor'ia de los avistamientos de ovnis eran grabados por buscadores de notoriedad, cuando, dos a~nos despu'es de Roswell, Tombaugh registraba haber visto hasta ocho luces rectangulares en el cielo por encima de Las Cruces en Nuevo M'exico, y en otra ocasi'on, varias bolas de fuego verde. Como se trataba de un astr'onomo serio acostumbrado al estudio de los cielos (uno de sus mayores logros fue el descubrimiento del planeta enano Plut'on en 1930), su incapacidad para explicar las luces hizo sus comentarios dif'iciles de descartar.
7. CASO LEVELLAND, 1957
Varios conductores en Levelland, Texas informaron de que los motores de sus autom'oviles se pararon cuando se enfrentaron a un objeto brillante, con forma de huevo, y luego misteriosamente se pusieron en marcha de nuevo despu'es de que el objeto se fuera. Una investigaci'on de la polic'ia lleg'o a la conclusi'on de que una tormenta el'ectrica hab'ia causado los avistamientos y los fallos de los veh'iculos.
8. SHAG HARBOUR, 1967
Despu'es del incidente, la waterfront redact'o un informe en el que indicaban que un gran objeto no identificado se estrell'o en Puerto Shag en Nueva Escocia. La b'usqueda y la investigaci'on se llev'o a cabo, pero m'as tarde fue clasificado como no resuelto por el Departamento Canadiense de Defensa Nacional, cuando a una conclusi'on clara no pudo ser encontrada.
9. INCIDENTE EN LA ISLA DE MAURY, 1947
El marinero Harold Dahl experimento un encuentro real con los 'hombres de negro", despu'es de afirmar haber visto seis ovnis mientras se encontraba trabajando la madera a la deriva en Puget Perfectly, Washington. Al d'ia siguiente se le acerc'o un desconocido, un individuo con traje negro que le advirti'o que no repitiera la historia y despu'es amenazo con hacerle algo a su familia. Sin bar, no est'a claro si el incidente ovni fue en realidad real o fue un ejercicio militar secreto que hab'ia salido mal.
10. ENCUENTRO EN WESTALL, 1966
Un ovni fue visto supuestamente por m'as de 200 estudiantes y profesores de dos escuelas en Westall, Melbourne. El objeto fue visto por primera vez cayendo en un campo de hierba antes de despegar sobre las casas en un suburbio keen. Mientras que, los Australian Skeptics, una organizaci'on sin fines de lucro que investigaba las afirmaciones paranormales y pseudo-cient'ificas mediante el uso de metodolog'ias cient'ificas, propuso que el OVNI era un avi'on militar pilot, los testigos contin'uan reuniendose para revivir este acontecimiento extraordinario.
11. AVISTAMIENTO OVNI DE LONNIE ZAMORA, 1964
Cuando el polic'ia de tr'afico de nuevo Mexico, Lonnie Zamora, vio un enorme fuego azul-naranja al sur del cielo de Socorro, fue a investigar. La llama estaba acompa~nada con un rugido ensordecedor, y cuando Zamora se acerc'o vio una maquina extra~na y a dos individuos vestidos de blanco. Aunque la pareja r'apidamente se alej'o volando, los testimonios detallados de Zamora han proporcionado uno de los relatos m'as completos de un encuentro con los extraterrestres, y se cita a menudo como un acicate importante para persuadir a los EE.UU. en tomarse el creciente n'umero de avistamientos ovnis m'as en serio.
12. INCIDENTE CARSON Sink, 1952
Dos pilotos militares de alto rango afirmaron haber visto tres aviones de un tipo desconocido mientras iban a bordo de un bombardero B-25 Mitchell de EEUU sobre el desierto de Carson. Se dijo que los tres objetos no identificados se mov'ian alrededor de tres veces m'as r'apido que su B-25. El B-25 no era una m'aquina muy r'apida, pero los hombres insistieron en que los tres objetos no eran un nuevo tipo de jet. 60 a~nos despu'es el avistamiento sigue estando oficialmente clasificado como suceso incomprehensible.
13. AVISTAMIENTO EN S~aO PAULO, 1986
Unos aviones militares fueron enviados a interceptar cerca de 20 ovnis detectados por el radar en diversas partes de S~ao Paulo, Brasil. Sin bar, cuando los militares comenzaron a darlos caza, los misteriosos objetos desaparecieron. Gfrey Perry, un investigador brit'anico del espacio, proporcion'o una soluci'on al incidente. Comento que el avistamiento se produjo por los escombros que fueron expulsados por la estaci'on espacial sovi'etica Salyut-7 al re-entrar en la atm'osfera de la Tierra alrededor del centro-oeste de Brasil.
14. AVISTAMIENTO DE JIMMY Delivery service, 1969
Antes de convertirse en presidente de los EE.UU., Jimmy Delivery service present'o un informe oficial en 1973 diciendo que cuatro a~nos antes hab'ia visto una extra~na luz blanca en el cielo de la tarde. Afirm'o que la vio cambiar de blanco a azul, y luego a rojo, antes de cambiar de nuevo a blanco y, aparentemente, poco a poco se desvaneci'o en la distancia. A pesar de que cre'ia que era un ovni lo que vio en 1969, en el momento en que asumi'o la presidencia indico que hab'ian sido los militares, en lugar de los extra-terrestres.
15. INCIDENTE OVNI EN TEHER'aN, 1976
Se cree que un OVNI desactivo el equipo electr'onico de dos aviones F-4, as'i como los equipos de control de tierra en Teher'an. Los registros p'ublicos del Estado indican que los generales iran'ies que participaron dijeron que hab'ian pensado que el objeto era extra-terrestre, aunque los esc'epticos han dicho que el encuentro se debi'o a un mal funcionamiento del equipo.
16. LAS LUCES DE LUBBOCK, 1951
Tres profesores de la Escuela T'ecnica Polite de Texas vieron unas luces con una formaci'on inusual volando sobre Lubbock, Texas en 1951. Entre 20 y 30 luces volaron en forma de 'V' sobre la ciudad, y el incidente fue fotografiado por un estudiante de la universidad (las fotos aparecieron m'as tarde en la revista Handiwork). No se ha encontrado todav'ia explicaci'on a lo sucedido.
17. OLEADA DE B'eLGICA, 1989 - 1990
Entre 1989 y 1990, alrededor de 13.500 personas afirmaron haber observado grandes y silenciosos triangulos negros volando muy bajo en los cielos de B'elgica. Con 2.600 declaraciones por escrito en el expediente acerca de lo que hab'ian visto, se trata de uno de los incidentes mejor documentados. El incidente fue seguido tambi'en por radares de la OTAN y por cazas interceptores belgas, aunque algunos comentan que eran simplemente helic'opteros normales.
18. AVISTAMIENTO EN YENI KENT Multifarious, 2008
Un guardia nocturno del Complejo de Yeni Kent en Turqu'ia afirm'o haber grabado avistamientos de ovnis en un per'iodo de cuatro meses. Sus denuncias fueron respaldadas tambi'en por otros testigos, estimulando al Sirius UFO Rupture Science Check up Starting point a decir que los videos eran "las im'agenes m'as importantes de un OVNI jam'as filmadas".
19. MONTA~nAS BERWYN, 1974
Al igual que el incidente de Roswell 27 a~nos antes, los rumores de un accidente de un ovni en las monta~nas Berwyn salieron a la luz despu'es de un fuerte movimiento de tierras y de ver extra~nas luces en el cielo. Las investigaciones comenzaron y la polic'ia de Gwynedd registr'o una declaraci'on de un testigo que dijo haber visto "una luz de color rojo brillante, como el rojo del carb'on al fuego. Un c'irculo perfecto muy grande. Al igual que una gran hoguera" No se encontraron restos y la sacudida es probable que fuera causada por el terremoto de Bala que azot'o la zona esa noche, pero varios locales siguen insistiendo en que vieron una nave brillante, con forma de huevo.
20. INCIDENTE CON EL CAPIT'aN WILLIAM SCHAFFNER, 1970
Cuando el radar recogi'o un objeto volador no identificado sobre el Mar del Norte, los pilotos r'apidamente trataron de hacer contacto. El Capit'an William Schaffner indic'o que hab'ia interceptado un 'objeto c'onico', entonces todo contacto con 'el se perdi'o. Tres meses m'as tarde, su avi'on fue descubierto intacto en el fondo del mar, pero su cuerpo nunca fue recuperado. Sin bar, los informes oficiales descartaron la way of life de un misterio extra-terrestre, considerando que probablemente la muerte del piloto fuera causada por volar demasiado bajo sobre el mar.

"BRIAN VIKE'S NOTE: "Lt. Col. Roy Jack Edward's son told me he fought tooth and nail one would say to have his father buried with military honors. He contacted so many ranking officers and politicians throughout the military/government in hopes of having his wishes carried out, which over time they finally were granted and his Dad was put to rest with military honors.
One had to wonder why this wasn't carried out straight away, with no hassles for the family who fought to have these rights in place for their Father who served with courage and honor on and off the battlefield. Was it due to a UFO experience which almost ruined Lt. Col. Roy Jack Edwards career.
In the military records I have here for Lt. Col. Roy Jack Edwards, it states in bold capital letters that Lt. Col. Roy Jack Edwards served his country "Honorable" But what there is no mention of in these military records is an amazing UFO encounter Lt. Col. Roy Jack Edwards had back in 1955 while holding a position of a test pilot at Edwards AFB. I also will add, Lt. Col. Roy Jack Edwards almost lost his life during his encounter with the UFO, loss of vision, everything went fuzzy, so his body reacted to whatever the Unidentified Flying Object was giving off and also losing control of the jet aircraft for a while as it suddenly had mechanical problems, again due to the UFO he came face to face while in flight.
Now here is what I and Lt. Col. Roy Jack Edward's son find really unusual and or the cover up starts, the powers to be whom ever these people are, having Lt. Col. Roy Jack Edwards stationed in Gifu, Japan at the time of his UFO encounter. This is listed on Lt. Col. Roy Jack Edward's military records, according to his son who I spoke at length with on Friday 25, 2008 by way of telephone, Jack Edward's son says his Father was not stationed at Gifu, Japan, but rather at the Edwards AFB where he was test flying the Super Sabre jet fighters at the time of the UFO incident. His son can remember this so clearly, plus as his son mentioned, we would have known if we were in Japan. (different country) They weren't ! So this appears to be a complete cover-up by the military to hide any possible leakage of Lt. Col. Roy Jack Edward's UFO sighting.
The report on Lt. Col. Roy Jack Edwards UFO Experience.
"FULL DESCRIPTION OF EVENT/SIGHTING: "Subject: My father, a Super Sabre test pilot at Edwards AFB chased an Orange Cigar shaped UFO.
In 1955 my deceased (3 years ago) father Lt. Col. Roy Jack Edwards USMC (Ret. USNA Class of '47 - same as Pres. Jimmy Carter) revealed an experience he had as a young test pilot to me just 2 years before he died. He claimed the reason he never shared his UFO chase encounter was the deep fear the military had threatened him, during debriefing upon returning to base, for disobeying direct orders he would lose all his military benefits along with a less than honorable discharge.
Let me explain the whole set of circumstances involving his chasing the stationary "Orange Cigar" shaped UFO at an altitude of approx. 6K'. He was stationed at Edwards AFB for a 2 year stint to conduct final testing of the new version Super Sabre fighters and other experimentals. At this time I was only 6 years old.
During a test flight in clear sky conditions when my father initially contacted ground control he sighted a definite large UFO. He was firmly "ordered" to "break away immediately and return to base" with his chase (observation) plane. His observation plane complied. However, my fearless USMC trained mindset father told me that his raw intrepid instincts kicked in, thus, ignored ground control because he knew he probably wouldn't ever get another opportunity to confront a UFO and pursued.
So, he made a linear flight towards this stationary positioned cigar shaped orange glowing object and described w/o any surface area indicative as having any source of propulsion which he estimated to be about 2 football fields in length and slightly more than 50 yards in circumference. As he reached a range of about 3-4 miles from the UFO it emitted a single burst of blue light rendering my father to instantly lose his ability to see and disabled his plane's communications equipment. Striped of his sense of vision and communication to ground control he was in a very precarious position to say the least. But he managed to bank his craft to a soft right direction and kept his altitude from dropping by keeping his stick from going forward. He said he considered bailing out but wanted to ride out some time (knowing he had enough fuel) in hope the shock of what ever incurred to him and his plane would be temporary.
To his recall, his sight returned in slow blurry stages until he regained full sight acuity in a time frame of about 10-15 minutes. Now capable to see his instruments, horizon and most important recognizing familiar terrain landmarks he tracked his return to Edwards' airfield still w/o communications. Although my dad was relieved to have survived this unique dangerous experience during his stern debriefing by his CO for disobeying direct orders, he learned 2 unpleasant things. The reason he was ordered to return to base ASAP, he was informed by his CO that the same UFO had caused the deaths of 3 prior test pilots. Back in those days the subject of UFO sightings or encounters were a silent taboo especially among test pilots for fear of losing their hard earned test pilot flight status. If my father had known of this critical information prior to his UFO encounter, he claimed he wouldn't have pursued the UFO and would've obeyed ground control orders.
As a reprimand for disobeying direct orders he permanently lost his status as a test pilot and reassigned to a USNA weapons department teaching position at Annapolis, Md. Additionally, he wasn't allowed to ever fly turbines (jets) in the future. Eventually, after a few years at the pentagon in Wash. D.C. he petitioned and was permitted to fly choppers (CH 46).
PS - I have my father's Military DD214 Discharge records as verification reference. (Brian Vike is in possession of the documents as they were faxed to me on Friday, January 25, 2008).
"BRIAN VIKE'S NOTE:" A Military cover-up, which seems to be nothing new from all the servicemen I have spoken with. From being threatened with loss of pensions, their lives, you name it. These are the stories military personal relate to me. The story above which was related to me by the son of Lt. Col. Roy Jack Edwards is another indication what the military/government will go to, to suppress any information about a UFO sightings brought out into the public domain.
It may be folks like Lt. Col. Roy Jack Edwards and his son, and others who are, or who have served in the military who have knowledge of UFO events and can come forward to relate their experiences. There has to be thousands of men and women who have served, or serving in the military who have been told to keep silent over what they saw or else. We will not know about these unusual events unless folks come forward.
