Reported UFO/UAP Sightings

Object Over Detroit

On March 10, 1963, in Detroit, Michigan, several individuals witnessed a cigar-shaped UFO approaching from the north. They estimated its minimum altitude to be between 300-400 feet. The witnesses followed the object along the expressway for several minutes. The incident occurred at 6:00 P.M. and was reported by Earl J. Neff via Ricky Hilberg.

Strange Lights and Blasts in Riverdale, New Jersey

In Riverdale, New Jersey, mysterious explosions and multi-colored lights have been observed in the sky recently. The Borough Council is actively investigating unexplained blasts, tremors, or explosions reported by residents over the past three weeks. While no damage has been reported, shock recording machines are being set up to determine factors about the tremors. The Mayor's recommendation for this investigation stems from the fact that all but one insignificant company has not experienced blasts during the specified period. Additionally, residents have reported seeing strange moving lights in the sky on several nights, with varying descriptions from different viewers, including red, blue, orange, and multi-colored lights. This report is attributed to (FSRO).

Organizational News and Mergers

USCO-ROAP-HRS Merge

On March 18, 1963, in Atlanta, Georgia, a significant merger occurred involving The United Saucer Council of Ohio, The Research Organization of Aerial Phenomena (ROAP), and the Hawk Research Society. This merger is described as the largest in the history of UFOlogy, creating a new group named the United Research Council of UFOlogy (URCU). The URCU will be the third largest UFO group in existence, with the original names (USCO-ROAP-HRS) maintained as divisional names. The official publication of the URCU will be the "UFO Sighter-Reporter," continuing the format of the "UFO Sighter," which is in its fourth year of publication.
