In June 1970, I had occasion to come in direct contact with a UFO. I was stationed in San Juan, Puerto Rico, with the Federal Aviation Administra- tion (FAA) and was flying with the Puerto Rico Air National Guard. In the early morning, a report had been received from two air carriers; Pan American, and a local carrier, Caribair, that at dawn a large balloon-like object was sighted drifting slowly southwestward at an approximate altitude of 5,000 to 7,000 feet. The object was detected on the Air Route Traffic Control Center radar and subsequently tracked. Movement appeared to be in a southwesterly direction at 4 to 8 knots per hour, varying slightly hour to hour. I was a member of a flight of 104s and a T-33 aircraft that went to the site where the object had been sighted to observe and to photograph it if possible. The object was visible from the ground at Isla Verde Airport, San Juan, Puerto Rico, lying low in the skies on a south southwesterly heading. Its appearance was similar to a balloon. After becoming airborne and flying towards the object, it became immediately apparent that it was at a very high altitude and was quite a distance away. The object was approximately 40 miles southwest of Ponce, Puerto Rico, at an altitude in excess of 60,000 feet, estimated roughly at 80,000 feet. Myself in a T-33 and four other pilots in f104s observed and photographed the object. The following details are noted: 1. It was a manufactured item. 2. It was at least 125 feet in width with the same approximate length. 3. It was shaped similar to the forward one-third of a speedboat hull with a flat rear section and a pointed nose section. (See sketch.) 4. There was an area of high reflectivity on the "keel" approxi- mately one-third from the nose of the object. (See sketch.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Document #: 39 From: UFO INFO SERVICE Date Sent: 09-22-1986 Subject: 1977 FAA REPORT PAGE 2 FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT DOCUMENT FILES --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 5. The object remained oriented in a northeasterly/southwesterly direction with the nose pointed northeast; the stern to the southwest, and drifting slowly against the prevailing winds to the southwest about 8 knots per hour. 6. There were no signs of any type of propulsion unit on the object. Extensive gun-camera film was collected showing the object very closely. A B-52 from Ramey Air Force Base acquired the target on the radar. Upon "locking on," the B-52 received electronic jamming. The object was kept in surveillance throughout the remainder of the daylight hours and was lost after dark. The prevailing weather at the time of the incident was clear skies and unlimited visibility. The object was viewed by the majority of the popu- lation of the island of Puerto Rico; visible in plain sight for most of the day, and reported to all military intelligence activities, National Weather Service, etc. We have yet to receive a satisfactory explanation as to what the object was. The San Juan Star published a series of articles concerning the incident. I am presently the Deputy Chief at the Kansas City Air Route Traffic Control Center and would welcome any additional inquiries on this subject and perhaps I could direct you to where film could be obtained of the object. Thank you, CHARLES M. BUMSTEAD, Deputy Chief Kansas City ARTC Center -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Document #: 40 From: UFO INFO SERVICE Date Sent: 09-30-1986 Subject: 1978 BLUEFLY & MOONDUST FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT DOCUMENT FILES --------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE WASHINGTON 20330 OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY __________________________________________________________________________ 13 November 1978 Mr._____________________ ________________________ ________________________ Dear Mr.________________: This is in response to your letter of October 21, 1978 requesting information on MOONDUST AND BLUEFLY. BLUEFLY was a project for the acquisition of airlift for a quick reaction capability. It was determined that the need did not exist and the project was discontinued several years ago. MOONDUST is a program in which the Air Force provides technical assistance in determining the origin of space debris, U.S. or foreign. These programs are under the purview of Air Force Systems Command, Andrews AFB, MD, 20034. Please write to the Director of Information there, if you desire additional data. He may be able to help.
