Vike’s Note: The gentleman who reported for the first time this UFO event at
Biggs AFB, Texas got a not so good of a surprise after observing a UFO while he
was on duty. It is such a shame that servicemen and women are put through the
ringer for doing their jobs.
I
have lived with this since it happened in 1964 or 1965. I was an air
traffic controller for the Air Force at Biggs AFB, Texas. I was on duty
alone for the midshift. At about 2:00 a.m. or so, radar approach
control came on the speaker asking if I had an inbound. I responded that I
did not.
He
mentioned that there was something out over the military range north of the
field maneuvering. I was asked to look with my binoculars and did so and
saw nothing. This went on for an hour or so and then the rapcon operator
advised me that the craft was making what appeared to him to be an approach to
my runway.
By
that time I started getting calls from security, and base-ops and a slew of
others that had the ability to contact the tower. I was questioned as to what I
saw, which by that time was visible on the final to my runway, which was
21/03. He was making a perfect approach on my instrument landing system
glideslope and localizer. It was just an object that seemed to glow, at
least it made itself visible by its own light.
By
that time I was getting called by strategic air command post and asked
"airman, what do you think you see?". I was a bit innocent in
that I didn't at the time suspect that he was wanting me to deny what I was
experiencing. At the same time, I was getting calls on the primary
military frequency on uhf from what I later found out was Air Defense Command.
Using
the land based transmitter he was using is not legal, so at first I thought it
was an aircraft. He asked what I saw, to which I attempted to describe to
him. As we were talking, he came on and exclaimed in an agitated voice,
"Holy shit, it just busted through one hundred thousand!". I saw
the object streak straight up and out of my vision as it went past my range of
vision due to the ceiling.
I
was hammered for hours by a major from SAC asking what I had smoked, drank or
what medications I was on. As I mentioned before, I was a very honest
person, so I continued to insist on what I had seen. By that time,
security had sent a squad, very well armed and led by a young second
Lieutenant, who ordered me to surrender my log, stood by while I was told what
to enter, and after he was satisfied I had not entered what I had entered in my
original log, he asked to surrender the tapes.
I
resisted as best as I could telling him that I was not to allow anyone to
remove the tape recordings from my custody. He indicated to me that I had
no options, as he was armed and had several security personnel very well
armed. He took the keys from me and forced me to remove all the tapes from
the time I came on duty.
We
only had one line that wasn't recorded, and after they left, that phone rang,
it was the civilian tower asking me if I was alone and if I could talk. He was
an ex Biggs air traffic controller and knew my tower well.
He
asked me to not say a thing until I walked out on the catwalk on the outside of
the tower. He told me to not say I saw anything because I would be interrogated
and driven out of my mind by the military. I thanked him for the advice and
went back inside.
I
was called again during the course of the shift by Sac command post. The
last time I spoke to the officer I was still adamant as to what I saw. His
first words when he called that time was to inform me that I was to report to
the flight surgeon for a medical and mental examination, and not to leave the
base until they allowed me to go. I lived off base. Since I was given
the advice by the civilian controller I now recanted, and told him that after
thinking about it, I really didn't see much.
There
is a lot more to this, but I would like to make contact with you people to see
if anything was ever recorded about that encounter. I also was on duty when a
civilian contractor flying what was called logair, departed my field flying up
the corridor to White Sands when they came on screaming about the lights that
were attacking them.
They
were very agitated and crying and almost losing control of the C47 that they
were flying. I never reported that based on my previous experience. Controllers
at approach control and the civilian tower and I communicated over the
unrecorded phone line, so I wasn't making this up.
The
way the government treats these encounters makes it almost impossible to prove
that these things really happened. To the point that had I not mentioned
it to my now deceased ex wife, I would not have believed it either.
I
have never drank alcohol, taken drugs, even am reluctant to take prescription
medications unless I must. So I have never been addicted or used
any substances that would alter my thinking. I would like to communicate
with someone that is in a position to help to research this and other
sightings.
Thank
you.
Thank
you to the gentleman for his fascinating report, also for taking his time to
come onto the Jeff Rense radio program to explain what went on at Biggs AFB
in Texas many years ago. If anyone else has information about this
sighting, I and this gentleman would like to hear from you. You can write Brian
