- White Sands
-
-
- I was born in March of 1957. Raised an Army brat my family and I
- traveled extensively before finally settling down in Augusta, Georgia
- during the mid-sixties. During the past 15 years of my life I have
- been involved, until recently in law enforcement in several counties
- in Georgia.
-
- During these 15 years I have encountered many unusual situations both
- that had an explaination and those that did not. My interest in UFOs
- resulted from exposure by my father during the 60's to every
- imaginable form of literature on the topic that he could find . I
- never really understood why he had this facination until much later
- in life. I can remember the magazines and paperback books
- accumulating and standing at the news-stand with my father looking
- for any newly released material on the topic. When Project Blue-Book
- was published he purchased it and after reading it he told me that
- the book was a cover-up and that I should read it but not believe
- what it said. He would respond to no further questions on the topic.
-
- In the summer of 1969 after my fathers return from Viet-Nam we were
- walking across a field to a neighbors house when he called my
- attention to a light in the sky near the full moon. We stood there
- observing the light (solid white) approach the moon and indeed appear
- to go behind it and come out the other side. The light then appeared
- to enter into the Earths atmosphere and pass directly over head
- without a sound or any detectible running lights. After a fashion it
- passed out of sight over the horizon. At this point we entered our
- friends house and my father called the local airport to check on any
- confirmed radar reports of the object. He was told by the on-duty
- air traffic controller that he had had no aircraft on his scope for
- the past 20 minutes nor were there any flights logged to be coming in
- prior to 23:00hrs. The sighting took place shortly after 21:00hrs
- with the call being made approximately 15 minutes later. My father
- hung up the phone shaking his head and related to me what the ATC had
- said. We both new what we had observed regardless.
-
- Shortly before my fathers death in 1981 he had a conversation with me
- one evening that took me totally by surprise. I don't remember
- exactly how the conversation of UFOs came up but it was during this
- time he told me what it was that had triggered his interest in the
- topic.
-
- During the mid-50's my father was stationed at the White Sands
- Proving Grounds in New Mexico.
- His MOS at this time was a Combat Photographer. He was assigned to
- photograph various launches of test missles at this time. I believe
- I still have some of these photos showing missles of various types
- sitting on their launching trailers or just as they are leaving their
- launchers.
-
- He went on to tell me (exact dates and times are long since
- forgotten) that one afternoon he was not assigned duty but was in the
- lab puttering around. At this time a jeep containing several M.P.s
- drove up and they told him to get his camera and anything else needed to
- take pictures and come with them.....NOW! As he was getting his
- equipment he asked what was going on and was told he wouldn't believe
- them if they told him but he was needed at one of the firing ranges
- immediately.
-
- After getting into the jeep they arrived at the range in question
- shortly there after where my father states he was confronted by a
- crowd of people consisting of men in white lab coats along with very
- high ranking officers. He stated that he was quickly hustled to the
- front of the group and shown what he was wanted to photograph. My
- father stated that on this desert range a missle had been set up on a
- launcher down range from the (blockhouse?, pit?) as was standard
- procedure prior to a missle launch of which he had photographed many
- before. I do not recall what the distance from the safety area to
- the launcher was, whether it was measured in miles, yards, kilos,
- etc. However my father stated that the distance wasn't extremely
- long. The launcher was set up at a saddle point between two low
- hills. He went on to state that next to the missile was hovering a
- very large silver disc shaped object. He said it was of the classic
- inverted cup and saucer form except bigger, much bigger than the
- launcher itself. He was ordered to begin taking photographs which he
- did for approximately the next thirty minutes before the object took
- off extremely fast straight up, disappearing from sight within
- seconds. My father said that he was immediately transported back to
- the photo lab and ordered to complete the first stage of the
- developing process but to stop there. He learned later that a
- different man was brought in for each stage that followed so that no
- one ever saw the next stage. He said shortly thereafter all those
- involved in the developing process were ushered into a room and told
- that the situation that they had been involved in was top secret and
- was not to be discussed by them with anyone from this point on. My
- father said shortly after every member of the development team came
- under orders sending each of them to a different corner of the earth
- effectively separating the participants. He further said that he
- never discussed the matter with anyone before he told me. This
- explained to me his keen interest in the subject.
-
- My father was an honest man, he always meant what he said. I asked
- him questions about the event but he could only say that to this day
- he did not know what type of craft it was that he had observed on
- that desert missile range. I also know that my father was not alone
- on that day. He had a group of approximately 40-50 others there with
- him at the time. I would be very interested to hear from someone
- that was present during this sighting. My father stated that prior
- to this event he had heard scuttlebutt that sometimes there were
- unusual occurances at White Sands but he never had reason to believe
- them until this incident. I would like to hear of other similar
- incidents from people stationed at White Sands Proving Grounds.
