On or during January 1965, at or near Alaska, United States, the source reports the following sequence: BRIER SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS UNIDENTIFIED ASTRONOMICAL OBJECT Appearing as bright star-like bodies and in most cases reported as Bright light, 25 Jan. Grand Rapids), Appeared like Stars but believed by witless to have been very close observed object. We have reports of strange objects flying around our area. They are not getting any sightings other than those that are reported from the SAC people. Born in France, Madam Darlaine was a long-time researcher into psychic and saucer phenomena, and closely associated with many of the leaders in the flying saucer field in the early 1950's, notably the disappearance of "saucer" researchers from the Bethune-Long Island area in 1953. He said this object "came within about 150 feet of me and hovered for a few minutes". Padrick then ran into his house to get his camera but, by the time he returned, the object was gone. Padrick had seen such objects before on his land, and felt that they had been there before, as there was a sort of pathway worn on the ground where they landed. SAUCER SIGHTINGS CONTINUE: Sightings of unidentified flying objects are still pouring in to our office, regarding the "Saucer Flap" which began in late December, and which seems to be continuing without letup. Another sighting was made the same night at the foot of a mountain, and this UFO had sparks flying from it, and was heard to explode. February 4, 1965--Anchorage, Alaska--Dozens of UFOs, multicolored and flickering were reported by many residents at low level flying above homes in Anchorage. At Wallops Station, Va., one of America's NASA rocket launch centers, on January 9th, at 9:30 p.m., NASA engineers and others observed a UFO, according to a story sent to the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) and forwarded by them.
