Key Articles and Features

"Two Police Officers Are Signalled by Hovering UFO"

This article recounts an encounter on July 9th in Kingston, N.Y., where police officers James Wallace and Richard Ramsell, described as reliable, spotted a hovering, football-shaped object. The object, approximately 30-40 feet in diameter, displayed alternating red and green lights and a hazy white light in the center. It moved towards their patrol car, prompting the officers to investigate. When Officer Wallace stepped out, the object moved closer. Officer Ramsell turned on his spotlight, and the object responded with a brilliant white light that bathed the cruiser. The object then raced away at a fantastic speed. Both officers expressed their belief that the object was extraterrestrial and that the light was a form of acknowledgment.

"Look! Up in the sky!"

This piece details a sighting by Laura Miller in Brooklyn, N.Y., on January 10, 1975. While walking home, she observed a low-flying object with no sound, exhibiting lights that moved in a rotary pattern, changing from blue to yellow to red. Suddenly, another set of lights appeared above the first, and both sets began changing positions in wavy motions, traveling south-west toward Coney Island.

"UFO REPORTED IN OHIO, 3 DECEMBER"

This brief report describes a sighting by a Xenia, Ohio woman on December 3rd, who saw a large, round UFO with red and green rings and bright lights around it, moving in the direction of Centerville.

"UFO's sighted in area"

Inge from East Flatbush, N.Y., reported a sighting on December 9, 1974, while waiting for a bus. She observed a yellow-white light moving from north-east to south-west at an estimated speed of 150 miles per hour. She was certain it was a solid object and not a plane.

"U.S. AIR FORCE HIDING BODIES OF 12 MEN FROM OUTER SPACE"

This is presented as the most important article in the issue, detailing a supposed 25-year cover-up by the U.S. Air Force. According to TATTLER Special Projects Editor John Moulder, Managing Editor Bill Sloan, and Correspondent Taris Savell, two leading researchers claim the Air Force seized a crashed alien spacecraft and the bodies of its 12 deceased occupants in New Mexico in February 1948. Robert Carr, director of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP), asserts that these bodies are still held at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. The article also includes the testimony of C.M. Tenney, a retired businessman who claims he witnessed a UFO crash in Montana in 1953 and was interrogated by Air Force officials, during which he saw bodies in laundry bags. Tenney recounts being ordered to an Air Force base, grilled extensively, and witnessing men carrying large laundry bags containing what appeared to be doubled-up bodies. He also describes seeing a dirigible-shaped object and a fiery ball of smoke and noise. Air Force Sgt. William B. Kelly reported tracking multiple UFOs at high speeds in Montana in 1953. Carr further claims that the Air Force has been suppressing information since the Kenneth Arnold sighting in 1947 and that the Condon Report was a whitewash. He states that the Air Force has hundreds of feet of motion pictures of UFOs and that many cases remain unexplained. The article also mentions that the Gallup Poll indicated a significant portion of the American public takes UFOs seriously.

"The Incredible Story of 25-Year Coverup Nears an End as Two Witnesses Describe Bodies"

This section continues the narrative of the alleged Air Force cover-up. It details how the Air Force allegedly seized crashed spacecraft and their occupants, intimidating witnesses. Robert Carr claims an alien spacecraft crashed in New Mexico in 1948, and its 12 occupants' bodies are at Wright-Patterson. C.M. Tenney's account of witnessing a crash in Montana in 1953 and seeing bodies in laundry bags is reiterated. The article mentions that the Air Force officially closed its UFO investigations in 1968, following the Condon Report. Tenney's correspondence with Professor Condon went unacknowledged. Tenney's experience involved a dirigible-shaped object and balls of fire. Air Force Staff Sgt. William B. Kelly reported tracking multiple UFOs at high speeds in Montana. Carr also discusses a spacecraft found near Aztec, N.M., in 1948, which was undamaged except for a small hole in the cockpit dome. The 12 occupants, described as small, fair-skinned, male beings between three and four feet tall with blue eyes and light hair, died of decompression. Their organs and blood type were human-like, suggesting a relation to Earth humans and that they came here because they are oxygen-breathing. The brain of one occupant was found to be that of a man several hundred years old. Carr believes the government is covering up this information. The article notes that the Air Force has been trying to discredit UFO witnesses, including police officers. It also mentions that the Gallup Poll found that over half of Americans take UFOs seriously. Russia is reportedly studying UFO phenomena more seriously than the U.S. Carr's information is said to come from a biologist who participated in the New Mexico case.

"MANY INCIDENTS of Air Force coverup or disregard for UFO sightings have been reported..."

This section continues to discuss alleged Air Force cover-ups. It mentions another disc found near Farmington, N.M., which was also removed and kept at Wright-Patterson. Carr suggests that some evidence might be hidden elsewhere, possibly in Virginia. A retired security guard at Wright-Patterson reportedly provided information about the New Mexico craft, including manuals written in an unknown alphabet and food supplies found in one body, described as a white square biscuit wafer, which were analyzed and found to be wholesome. The article suggests that if the Air Force released this information, it could be deciphered. Dr. J. Allen Hynek is mentioned as an authority on UFOs who has cited examples of the Air Force attempting to discredit witnesses. The article concludes by suggesting that with the public's belief in UFOs and extraterrestrial life, the government may be ready to end its secrecy.
