One of the most intriguing crash reports to have surfaced over the years is
a report of a crash that occurred in the Air Force Base of Nellis AFB, Nevada in 1962.
For many years this case was thought of nothing more than a rumour amongst UFO researchers. However,
reports and statements from many eyewitnesses slowly emerged, enough so, for researchers
to start digging for more information.
The object was first spotted over Oneida, New York and was heading in a westerly direction. There were also
reports of the object in Kansas, Colorado and Eureka, Utah. The object was the seen
in the town of Reno, Nevada and was seen to 'turn' and head towards Nevada, where it
disappeared over the Nellis Air Force Base. The object was also tracked at several
radar sights.
The object was reported by over a thousand people, most of whom, assumed that the object was a meteorite.
Various newspapers covered the story the following morning although most of them concluded
also that it must of been just a very spectacular meteorite.
However, Air Defence Command, after watching the object for
several hours scrambled several fighters (not something that they do for meteorites normally !).
It was claimed the object came down near Eureka, and at the same time the town experienced
a total blackout. However, the object was then seen to take off again, and as it did the
power came back.
The object was also seen at various times by several commercial airline pilots who
reported that the object was below them, again unusual for a meteorite.
The official air force explanation was that the object witnessed was a meteor. However, this does not explain
why fights were scrambled, why the object changed course, why the object appeared to land
and then take off again.
