A parade of UFO-related historical stories commences with something that never happened. Joe Blackstock’s tale of a South Californian newspaper piece evokes both the 1896-7 “airship wave” and 1942 “Battle of Los Angeles.” A real 1948 tragedy still resonant today is How a US Fighter Pilot was KILLED While Chasing a UFO & His Death Was ‘Covered Up’ as His Family Call for Answers. The manner of Captain Thomas Mantell’s famous death is still challenged by his descendants. Henry Holloway has the iconic event and its context; thanks to Phyllis Budinger for alerting us to this important article. A strange twist makes another iconic story doubly mysterious as Rex Heflin Talks about His Famous 1965 UFO Photos and How They Got Confiscated. But how the three “originals” returned may be the biggest puzzle. And Keith Basterfield relates a synchronicity which brought to him a life-long narrative of close encounters from a (now) 66-year-old man featuring an Account of an 1986 Abduction in Adelaide, South Australia.
