UFORadio International Interviews & Investigations

Dear colleagues.

I'll open a thread for some of my special presentations, audio documentaries or podcast interviews that I will be able to finalize from time to time.

Here is an interview that I recorded this Saturday with a former NAC pilot over the telephone.

NAC pilot joined me over the telephone all the way from New Zealand. It took me some effort to obtain his telephone number, and he was kind enough to grant me an interview. I wanted to locate him 2 years ago, but finally put some effort into it during last few weeks. I had to dial multiple telephone numbers to locate him.

He described me an important Radar-Visual UFO Incident from 1970s while he was flying NAC Fokker 27 Airplane from Tauranga to Auckland.
Based on his testimony, case involves visual sighting with a radar detection from ground and on-board radars. Most dramatic element is a near-miss incident which is raising Air Safety concerns.

I was personally interested in this incident due to the similar characteristics with Pan Adria incident from 1976 that I am researching for the last 21 years.
Pan Adria incident happened above former Yugoslavia.
More about special events that I organized based on Pan-Adria incident and other cases that I collected during last 21 years (former Yugoslavia as a country doesn't exist anymore):

In both of these cases (NAC and Pan-Adria), we can find these crossover aspects:

- Both incidents happened roughly in the similar period (middle of 1970s).
- Both pilots flew similar air planes: Fokker models.
- Radar detection with on-board and ground radars in the same time.
- Frontal confrontation with an UAP which allowed detection from Fokker's on-board weather radar with a very strong signal.
- Visual sighting from the cockpit.
- UFO followed air plane during considerable part of the flight route maintaining speed and distance in relation to the plane.
- Enormous speed increase of an UAP at certain point from and a near-miss incident.
- In both of these cases, curious passengers moved towards side of the aircraft to observe the phenomena through windows.

Hope you will find it interview interesting for your archives.
Best wishes.

Incident participants: Bill Schroeder & Dennis Force

Please explore this map to get better insight into overall incident:

On March 31, 1967 two US Military Air Defense Radar Operators tracked a total of eight unidentified targets over coastal areas of southern Florida. Radar site located at AFB, Florida was stationed by Dennis Force, and second radar battery site at Key West, Florida was served by Bill Schroeder. The operators and radar stations were separated by approximately 100 miles.

The case involves radar detection from multiple radar sites, several interception attempts by fighter jets, visual sighting, and a possible ECM effect caused by an unknown target. Duration of this dramatic incident lasted for approximately 4 hours. Two separate UFO flight groups were identified. Group A was flying over Atlantic area near Miami and Group B was flying over south of the Florida mainland. This remarkable case is presented by Bill and Dennis: 1-hand witnesses that were on official duty that night.

This is from my companion podcast but it is related to this subject so could be interesting for UFORadio-International section too:

InSPiRaTiOnS #4: Philip Connaughton - UFOs in Art: Extraterrestrial Events
Guest: Philip Connaughton
www.youtube.com...

Dance opera "Extraterrestrial Events" - created by Philip Connaughton - will be performed in Cork Opera House on October 24th, 2017. This intriguing dance piece is based on UFO cases that were collected by GEIPAN - official french organization that investigates UFO reports.

In this in-deepth interview with Phiip Connaugton, we will go through his amazing international artistic career to learn what has inspired him to adopt UFO subject into a dance piece. With exclusive audio clips from the play, Cork audience will get a glimpse what can be expected this Tuesday on 8pm in Cork Opera House.

Author Larry Hancock is back and this time we are starting UFO History series. Every few months we will cover different historical periods of unidentified intrusions and National Security implications based on his book.

Larry's book "Unidentified - The National Intelligence Problem of UFOs" explores that intelligence failure, beginning during World War II and continuing over some three decades of official inquiries. It also profiles the events – including inter-service and inter-agency political posturing – which prevented the problem from being elevated to a level of true national security tasking. The ongoing Air Force decision to study the problem only at the level of individual incidents and the larger failure to task the broader intelligence community with a longer term, strategic analysis of security related UFO activities ensured that the fundamental problem was simply not addressed. The end result was nothing more than over a thousand highly unconventional and anomalous UFO reports officially classified and archived as “Unknowns”.

In this episode Larry has covered these historical events:

1944-1945: Foo Fighters WWII

1946: Ghost Rockets above Sweden

1947-1949: Beginning of modern UFO era and sightings above US skies / General Nathan Twinning and formation of SIGN - initial official body to study UFOs

1949: Sightings above Los Alamos and Albuquerque atomic facilities

I am discussing another Radar UFO incident with Gerry Flood, former US Air Force GCA radar air traffic controller. Incident happened in 1958 while Gerry was stationed in Eielson AFB in Alaska. Gerry observed a target on search radar (MPN-11) which was able to fly over 5,000mph and make turns instantly of over 90 degrees. Other radar sites were contacted and target was confirmed on their scopes too.

This is a companion episode to previous special that presented 1967 Radar Visual UFO Incident above Southern Florida:

Hi uforadio,

I hope you are well - it's been a while since we had any contact. (I've sent you a "friend request" on Facebook...).

I've embedded your interesting interview below, since I find members of ATS are more likely to watch a video if it is embedded rather than if someone posts a link to Youtube.



As you know, I'm not generally a great fan of podcasts and audio material because I find them rather inefficient. I can read faster than I can listen to podcasts. Also, I keep wanting to see documents relating to the material discussed.

I suppose it's a bit difficult in a telephone/podcast interview to ask the interviewee to display any contemporaneous correspondence they've obtained (or that their sources have) relating to the story they are telling ... but that's what some of these stories call out for. (I fear I'll have the same problem when James Fox's documentary is eventually released - we'll be faced with stories but limited, or no, contemporaneous supporting material/documents being made available).

I hope your recent activities indicate you'll becoming more active again and will be posting more material (hopefully including more written material!).

On December 17th 2017, New York Times has published historic article on the front page titled: "Real U.F.O.s? Pentagon Unit Tried to Know". The article described Pentagon's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program which had a mandate to evaluate UFOs. Luis Elizondo was a former director of that program. In this exclusive interview that I did for Croatian Television, he explains his involvement in the program and what was learned through the years. This is the uncut version of that interview. On the date of this release, this is as far as I am aware, the longest interview with Mr. Elizondo.
During this exclusive interview we covered these subjects:

- Lue's career and his patents.
- The AATIP timeline and the budget.
- Mandate of the program.
- Detection of UFO Phenomena by DOD sensors.
- Witnesses, technical data and credibility factor.
- The USS Nimitz UFO Incident.
- 5 main categories of the UFO phenomena.
- AATIP findings vs Condon Committee conclusions.
- Alleged exotic materials.
- Possibilities of another and more hidden UFO program.
- To The Stars Academy.
... and more.

Due to a huge response to my previous interview with Luis Elizondo who was a head of an official body for UFO investigations within US DOD, we are continuing with a similar theme. This time I am opening my archives to present you official UFO studies in France (GEIPAN) and Chile (CEFAA).

In an archived exclusive interview from December 8, 2006, head of GEIPAN (at the time) discussed with me history of official UFO research in France.

Excerpt from an interview with an amazing artist Philip Connaughton will show us how he was inspired by the works of GEIPAN to create dance opera "Extraterrestrial Events".

The e-mail interview from October 24, 2000 with the head of CEFAA - General Ricardo Bermudez - presents official UFO research in Chile.
