Description:

- 2 Civilians observe multicolored lights for 30 minutes

- This also has been observed by Naval Air personnel on radar screen hovering with a speed of 3knots – UFO changed direction and interfered with radar (computer equipment) unable to track further.

-Naval Air Station reported that no known aircraft was in the airspace

-Total of 8 Naval personal observed visually the incident however the Naval report claims that the personal was influenced by the 2 civilians

-Naval reporting system was delayed, story appeared first in Newspaper.


Notes to research:

- Story never went to the Head Quarter until about a year later (1 August 1997) – The original reporting letter was apparently lost.

-Story appeared first in the newspaper 16th May 1978 with important comments from the Naval Air Base but this has not investigated when UFO appeared (PA officer N.P. Young claimed that incident was not been reported before it appeared in the newsletter)

Note to original post “Information Account”:

•The document dated ‘1979-08-01’ refers only to 1 document (2pages).
•The incident occurred on the 14th May 1978
•The Newspaper reported this incident on the 16th May 1978
•Initial NAS Jacksonville report shows the numbers 0 171824Z May 78 and ADS-17 June 1978 ( very confusing)
•Handwritten notes dated the 14th May 1978 (unable to read notes)

I would suggest the date in the “Information Account” should include the date of the incident because this is a 11 page document collection with various dates.
