Publisher's Note
Had UFOs not been a world-wide phenomenon in scope, extent and observation, V&S Publishers would not have considered publishing this book. According to reliable reports this phenomenon has been witnessed in 133 different countries. Indeed, it has touched on the lives of an increasing number of people around the world.
The sightings are so strange and foreign to our daily mode of thinking that it is frequently countered by ridicule and derision by persons and organizations not acquainted with the facts. Yet, the phenomenon persists; it has not faded away as many of us expected it would when, years ago, we regarded it as a passing fad.
UFOs... Unidentified Flying Objects... which is defined as any aerial or surface sighting, or instrumental recording (e.g., photography, radar, etc.) remains unexplained even after examination by qualified persons. Nonetheless, in the popular mind the UFO phenomenon is associated with the concept of extra-terrestrial intelligence and this might yet prove to be correct in some context. Surely it would be a big joke on all of us should it develop that proof for extra-terrestrial intelligence was here right under our noses all the time while we were searching for it elsewhere!
The terms Flying Saucers and UFOs now appear in the dictionaries of many countries... itself a sure sign of the popular awareness. UFO reports in significant numbers have been made by persons in responsible positions: astronauts, commercial pilots, radar experts, and military men... officials of governments, and astronomers, and even scientists!
In case you have observed any, do write to us about the event in detail!
We hope you enjoy the thrill of reading the findings as reported in newspapers and journals!

Introduction
Unidentified flying object (UFO) is a strange light or object that appears in the sky or near the ground. Its existence defies scientific explanation. Some people believe UFO’s may be spaceships from other planets. Others think UFO’s have natural causes, even though scientists cannot explain all UFO reports. Observers have described various kinds of UFO’s. Many of these objects resemble a glowing tube or saucer and fly silently at high speeds, displaying manoeuvres that would be unusual for an aircraft of any kind. UFO’s have been reported to have frightened animals, caused static on radios, and landed and left marks on the ground.
From 1966 to 1968, a major study of UFO’s took place in the United States. The U.S. Air Force sponsored the study, by scientists at the University of Colorado. The scientists could not explain all the UFO reports.
Occasionally the number of UFO sightings increases rapidly. For instance, waves of sightings occurred in France and Italy in 1954, in New Guinea in 1958, and in the USSR in 1967. In the United States, waves have occurred in every decade. UFO researchers have not been able to predict or explain these waves.
A study of reports suggests that UFO sightings are random. The witnesses cannot be usefully categorized. Instead they cut across economic, class, racial, and educational lines. A greater percentage of reports, however, have come from people living in rural areas than from those living in urban areas. The reasons for this disparity are unknown.
Lt. Gorman’s Dogfight
Full Report/Article
One of the early “classics” of UFO history involved Lieutenant George F. Gorman of the North Dakota Air National Guard, who said he had a twenty-seven minute “dogfight” with a UFO in the skies above Fargo.

Date October 1, 1948 Location Fargo, North Dakota, United States

Gorman, then manager of a Fargo construction company, told this story to Air Force investigators:
On the night of October 1, 1948, he had been on a cross-country flight with his squadron. Upon return to Hector airport in Fargo, he elected to log some night flying time, so he remained airborne after the other planes had landed. He had circled his F-51 over the lighted football stadium and around the city and was preparing to land about 9 P.M. The control tower cleared him to land, advising him about a Piper Cub in the vicinity - the only other plane - and he could see the light aircraft outlined plainly about 500 feet below him. What appeared to be the taillight of a plane passed him on the right, but the tower insisted they knew of no other planes in the area.
Gorman informed the tower that he was going to investigate the other aircraft and pulled his F-51 up and out toward the moving light. He closed to within about 1,000 yards and took a good look at the object.
“It was about six to eight inches in diameter, clear white, and completely round without fuzz at the edges [i.e., sharp and clear]. It was blinking on and off. As I approached, however, the light suddenly became steady and pulled into a sharp left bank. I thought it was making a pass at the tower. I dived after it and brought my manifold pressure up to sixty inches but I couldn’t catch up with the thing. It started gaining altitude and again made a left bank, I put my F-51 into a sharp turn and tried to cut the light off in its turn. By then we were at about 7,000 feet. Suddenly it made a sharp right turn and we headed straight at each other. Just when we were about to collide, I guess I got scared. I went into a dive and the light passed over my canopy at about 500 feet. Then, it made a left circle about 1,000 feet above, and I gave chase again.”
Gorman said he cut sharply toward the light, which was once more coming at him. When collision again seemed imminent, the object shot straight up into the air in a steep climb-out, disappearing overhead. Gorman again attempted to pursue it but his plane went into a power stall at about 14,000 feet, and the object was not seen again. It was then 9:27 P.M.
Gorman was so shaken by the encounter that he had difficulty handling his plane, although he was a veteran pilot and a flying instructor during World War II. He had noticed no sound, odour, or exhaust trail from the object during the “dogfight,” and no deviation on his instruments. At times during the chase, he had pushed the F-51 to full power, sometimes reaching 400 m.p.h.. He described the object as round and somewhat flattened.
In the airport control tower, traffic controllers Lloyd D. Jensen and H. E. Johnson also saw a strange light near the airfield:
“After passing to the east of the airport it seemed to take a northwest heading, The object seemed to be at about 2,000 feet and appeared to be travelling at quite an a high speed compared to a Piper Cub that was east of the field at the time. No definite outline could be identified. Both objects [the UFO and the Piper Cub] were sighted at the same time.” Jensen said that through binoculars he sighted,
“An object or a light travelling at a high rate of speed, apparently on a southwest heading. The F-51 [Gorman’s plane] was some distance behind and the object was travelling fast enough to increase the spacing between itself and the fighter. The object appeared to be only a round light, perfectly formed, with no fuzzy edges or rays leaving its body. The edges were clear cut. No other shape was observed. The main identifying characteristic was the high rate of speed at which it was apparently travelling.” The pilot of the Piper Cub, Dr. A. E. Cannon, and his passenger, Einar Nielson, also witnessed the swiftly moving light while in radio communication with the tower:
“While circling the football field at NDAC at 1,600 feet, Fargo tower advised us that there was an F-51 in the air and a few moments later asked us who the third plane might be,”
Cannon said, “We had noticed the 51 and when we were over the north side of Hector field going west, a light, seemingly on a plane, passed above and to the north, moving very swiftly toward the west. At first we thought it was the 51, but we then saw the light of the 51 higher and move over the field. We landed on Runway 3, taxied to the administration building, and went up to the tower and listened to the calls from the 51, which seemed to be trying to overtake the plane or lighted object, which then went so
