It's one the best evidence cases in my opinion. It involved multiple witnesses in different locations, scrambled jets and two (iirc) radars
tracking. The incident is captured on tape and transcribed in a great
NICAP page with related
mp3 files per section.
It was reported in Blue Book too, with the official documents available
as pdf here.
In this part, they receive conformation of several moving lights and a paint on the radar...
Okay. Captain Clark, uh, Lieutenant Reed?
Yeah.
Uh, we have some confirmed reports of, uh, some unidentified flying objects your area. .
Okay.
Approximately six or more, uh, from Edwards, uh, just south of Victorville, and we'd like to use-- We have information from 28th --- We also have
some height-finder cuts from anywhere from 3,000 up to 13. They're moving slowly.
Uh huh.
And they're climbing slowly.
I see.
They're red, white and green flashing lights.
Uh huh.
And, uh, they have been confirmed on radar.
This is my favourite part of the transcript, because it's pretty funny and captures the excitement and puzzlement of the incident...
Uh, San Pedro is painting them, uh, three targets, and they're all three around 9,000 feet.
San Pedro's pickin' 'em up at 9,000, huh?
Roger.
What about Boron?
Boron? We're, uh, working with them to see if we can get 'em on 'em now. That's those three little dots out there [OVERLAPPING] and
[OVERLAPPING] Yeah.
I'd say that, uh, there are three definite objects. It's not weather. It's not clutter.
Uh, they, they can see the objects, but they don't see, uh, [SOUNDS LIKE: it's not an aircraft?]
No. They can't tell what they are.
[01:29:02:02]
Uh. Oh. Scramble 'em.
[SOUNDS LIKE: You are scramblin' 'em] [UNINTELLIGIBLE]? [LAUGHS] [SOUNDS LIKE: I'm curious to] find out what the hell they are.
I am too.
And you'd be within your right to scramble 'em, wouldn't you?
I don't know. [SOUNDS LIKE: Be up to me just] [WORD?] I guess.
Well, [UNINTELLIGIBLE].
They're not moving [SOUNDS LIKE: hard] at all. [SOUNDS LIKE: They did?]
They watched 'em for 30 minutes and they didn't move at all and then all of a sudden, boom.
Oh yeah? Hmm. [SOUNDS LIKE: What are they?]
[LAUGHS] Don't know.
Little green men?
Nobody [SOUNDS LIKE: has ever accepted these things yet?.]
Yeah.
[SOUNDS LIKE: Let's] [WORD?] a pilot in from [SOUNDS LIKE: home.]
[UNINTELLIGIBLE]
[STAMMERS] He-- They needed special pilots [SOUNDS LIKE: for these?]
Well, [SOUNDS LIKE: they're still thinking that] these are [UNINTELLIGIBLE].
Yeah. I guess those things aren't hostile, because they haven't done anything yet
