UFO sightings and military response
I saw these lights... they looked like the classic saucer shape... they glowed... had a bluish light on the top... a red glow that seemed almost like a radiant heat element on the bottom.
They scrambled the F-111s that night... these jets went after these things... they were doing 90° turns, 180s.
I found out that was a factual observation because a couple of the guys that were in security called me... they're bringing light towers down from a sack base up in North Dakota to put on the flight line.
I take a book at Barnes & Noble on UFOs... a Freedom of Information Act release classified document that talks about the report to NORAD about the two UFOs on the first night.
