 | Close Encounter
1952 seems to have been the peak of terrestrial UFO sightings. On March 29th at 11:20am U.S. Air Force pilot LT David C. Brigham was on a training exercise in the skies of northern Japan when had a UFO which came within 50 feet of his aircraft. It was easily able to fly faster that the jet fighters that were accompanying him with no visible means of propulsion. If there were any little green men aboard they were very little as the object was only 8 inches in diameter and very thin!
Mulder: Grey.
Me: Excuse me?
Mulder: "Grey. You said little green men. A Reticulan skin tone is actually grey. They're notorious for their extraction of terrestrial human livers due to iron depletion in the Reticulum galaxy."
Me: "You can't be serious."
Mulder: "Do you have any idea what liver and onions go for on Reticula?"
In any case the Project Blue Book investigation states "CONCLUSION: UNSOLVED". Available in the media attached to David's page are newspaper accounts of the incident as well as government documents related to the investigation. |
