Brian
Vike's Favorite Cases.
Dear
Brian, I read your article on the UFO incident at NAS Memphis (Millington). I
was stationed on the north side of NAS Memphis from 1981-1983 with MAG-42 Det
B.
The
reason that I am sending you this email is not because of your particular
story, but because one of the unit commanders, a Lieutenant Colonel was
stationed with me there and we began talking about UFOs.
This
man was a reservist who was a Tennessee state worker (a biologist) who told me
of his own UFO story that he said he shared with very few people.
I
figured that because he was an A-4 pilot, a Lieutenant Colonel and a scientist
working for the state that his word was as good as gold to me.
I
don't know if you want to hear it, but if you do, please let me know and I will
send it to you. Thanks.
Additional
Information:
Brian,
Thanks for taking the time out to respond to my email. The story is in general,
I don't know the exact locations or times of the main event, but the Lieutenant
Colonel and I use to golf regularly and he use to tell me that I should hear
his UFO story some time.
Finally,
one day we finished golfing (at the NAS Memphis golf course) and we sat down in
the bar and I asked him about his incident.
He
told me that when he was a Lieutenant, and was one night the "Officer of
the Guard" that his guards frantically called him on the radio stating
that there was a UFO hovering over the storage building that held the ammo and
weapons (the Armory).
He
and his Sergeant of the Guard got in a jeep and sped to the location and saw a
very large shiny silver flat disc hovering about 30 feet above the building. He
said that his guards were beside themselves over it! He added that the disc was making a low
humming sound.
Then
he ordered all his guards to open fire on the disc. Even he himself was
shooting at it. He said that the rounds
just bounced off the disc and finally it sped away at an incredible speed. When
I asked him if he thought it was of 'Earthly origin', he told me that there was
no way that any human could have endured the G forces at the speed the object
was moving.
When
I asked him how big it was, he told me that it was bigger than the building it
was hovering over. He said that he submitted a report on the incident and never
heard anything again! He wasn't even
questioned by any higher authority.
As
I stated in my last email, this man is a scientist and was a military fighter
pilot of high rank. I worked with him for 3 years and not once did I ever see
anything that would make me question his sanity. He was extremely sober minded
and a 'matter of fact' type of person.
Why
he insisted on telling me this story I do not know. I always wondered about
that. Maybe he just trusted me and wanted to tell somebody. I was just a lowly
Sergeant that did his paperwork for him.
I
know this doesn't give much detail, and I apologize over that. I wish I would
have had the presence of mind to ask him more details. Thanks for listening. Hope
it helps somehow.
Our
thanks to the person for relating this interesting story.
