More info from NICAP on the egg shaped UFO wave from the first two weeks in November, 1957.

Between November 2 and November 14, 1957, in several different localities in the United States, as well as one each in Canada and Alaska, the sighting of UFOs was attended by the stopping of car engines, the dimming of headlights, and the interference of car radios, only during the times UFOs were visually in evidence. Among these localities are the following 13 different places:


Nov. 2 & 3 Levelland, Texas


Nov. 3 Springfield, Illinois


Nov. 3 Calgary, Alberta, Canada


Nov. 4 Elmwood Park, Chicago


Nov. 4 Alamogordo, New Mexico


Nov. 4 Kodiak, Alaska


Nov. 5 San Antonio, Tex.


Nov. 5 Houston, Texas


Nov. 6 Plattsburg, N. Y.


Nov. 6 Danville, Ill.


Nov. 7 Moutville, Ohio


Nov. 10 Hammond, Ind.


Nov. 14 Jamara, Ill.


In most instances reports of these occurrences were made by officers of the law, such as sheriffs, policemen, and highway patrolmen. Officers of the law are not given to tall tales of fantastic happenings. Moreover, they are trained to observe, record, and report accurately on all happenings in the districts in their charge, where such happenings pertain to the public safety, or are related to the protection of the general public.

A New Dimension in UFO Phenomena

Calgary eh? Used to live near there awhile back. I wonder if the egg shaped ufo's will ever return.....

a reply to: clt1994

Thanks for the reply mate and certainly didn't think there'd be this many similar (and separately located) reports when I started this thread - just take a look at how many entries there are here for November - don't know if the egg shaped UFOs will ever return but think it's fair to call the first 2 weeks in Nov, 1957 a 'flap'.


Here's the report for Calgary - also plenty of other reports at the link.

3 November. Highway 9, near the Alberta-Saskatchewan boundary, Canada. (about 7:00p.m.)


It had no wings. The car started acting up.

According to a Canadian press account:


"An unidentified flying object was seen over eastern Alberta Sunday evening by a Calgary woman. The Herald learned today as results of similar sightings filtered in from all over the continent.

''Not since the first flurry ofUFO sightings burst upon the world eight to 10 years ago has there been so much activity about mystery objects in the sky.

"Majority ofthe sightings in the U.S. have been near secret military installations and of a nature which almost exactly duplicates the experience of 28-yearold Calgarian Edna Ireland.

"She as driving back from Saskatchewan with two women friends Sunday evening when she saw the object about 7 p.m.
"They were about 15 minutes inside the Alberta-Saskatchewan boundary on highway No.9 when it appeared in the sky.
"It was a blinking light, almost centered over the car above them, and about 15 times the visual size of a star. 'I thought it was a lane at first but it had no wing lights as a plane would have.

"'It looked like the blinking beacon at the airport fixed up in the sky. " 'It was moving very fast in a curve which carried it toward the .northwest horizon. By the time it reached the horizon it had blinked 15 times from the first sighting.'
"As it curved over the car 'the car started acting up ... [not clear] coughed and the headlights flickered. We chalked it up to loose wiring."' (xx.)

(xx.) Calgary, Canada. The Calgary Herald. 6 November 57.

" Also thought it was interesting this occurred near the Saskatchewan border as that place has had more than it's fair share of freaky UFO incidents (link).

Cheers.

Which regions of space are 26 years away? a reply to: greyer

Cannon AFB 1976
In NM between ABQ and Levelland (Lubbock area).
Note: I grew up in Clovis, went to NMSU (near White Sands) and now live in Northern NM.

Maybe it was looking for the H Bomb my Grandfathers'
B-36 accidentally dropped there a few months earlier ?
He was the pilot and to be clear it ripped through the bomb bay
after shearing the rod designed to hold it.

Similar object at the end of this Hangar 1 episode(season 2, episode 6), starting at 43 minutes in.

Two officers in a helicopter report encountering a large yellow orb like craft. The orb takes notice the officers are following it and it moves up eye level with the chopper, literally right next to it.

Well ,I head this same story before but I heard it from my father who was stationed Kirkland AFB. He witness this object. I can say the flight path in the article accurate from what my father told me. Never thought I would see the day that this ever came up on the ATS board in such detail. And yes my father was on their runway along with a few bomber crews watching this object.

So it is a real sighting that you can be sure of. My father is still with us and is 84 ,still sharp as as tac. I'll show this to him and verify if the article writer had missed anything. He will be surprised that's unclassified now.

I read some of the report ,yes it was raining just like my father told me. People did think it was aircraft or a stunt aircraft of some kind. Then it became very apparent that it wasn't. Yes it did reach that B58 pad, just like the report states . I'd didn't read all of it yet ,but there were more personal not just the ATC personal.

Some are probably thinking why did he tell you? Well I'm retired military . Enough said. I'll touch base with my father and run this by him.

The photo of KAFB runway shows only half of it. Which is the upper half. The other half is on the is part that black access road it get way bigger . It your photo is good representation .


Keep mind that run 26 east west was 5 miles long at time.
And the tower was at one end and the B58 pad near the other end. A good 2 or 3 miles apart. That why they picked up the 7x binoculars. The runway today is still 5 miles long , but has been gated off halfway and is somewhat divided by a road with gate that easily opens up the entire runway if needed. Oh and yes my father said that craft flew very low like 20 feet off the main runway very slow, then hovered 4 or 5 minutes not far from the B58 pad.
kind of like if they were taking a tour of it base. Lol


Night everyone
