UFO. United States

On October 28, 1975, at Loring Air Force Base, Maine, Sergeant Stephen Eichner, the commander of the B-52 bomber crew, was working with Sergeant R. Jones and other crew members when Jones noticed a "red-orange object" over the nuclear weapons storage area. According to Eichner, it looked like an "elongated soccer ball."

The crew gave chase and soon spotted an object 300 feet away from them, which was hanging 5 feet above the ground. It did not make any sounds and was "reddish-orange" in size about 4 car lengths. Eichner described the object as "as if all the colors were mixed together, as if you were looking at a deserted scene... There were waves in front of the object, and all the colors mixed together. The object was solid and we didn't hear any noise coming from it."

(The events in question, as well as the relevant government documents, were described in detail by researchers Barry Greenwood and Larry Fawcett in their book "Explicit Intent: The Government Coverup of the Ufo Experience).
