What a strange object was seen at Edwards airbase in 1965

On October 7, 1965 a message was received about a dozen flying objects over Edwards (California) air base. The F-106A fighter was sent for reconnaissance. Official reports said that there was an error in the observations, but the pilot on duty, Darryl Clark, told a different story.

Clark said:

I grabbed my binoculars and began to peer. When first detected, the UFO was about 16 km northwest of my position. The object moved south until it was almost to the west of me. There he turned right 90 degrees and began to rise at an angle of 45-50 degrees. I saw only a pulsing and non-rotating light. There was also something resembling a small cloud pushed by the apparatus.

The UFO never leveled off and just kept climbing. The movement of airplanes always stands out against the background of stars, but this object seems to have stabilized with them. That is, it seemed to me that he flew straight into space until he disappeared from sight ”.

Reports of UFOs and strange lights are common in the Edwards base area. Recall that next is the secret Zone 51, which is associated almost with all the most unusual phenomena. The report from the Edwards database was listed among 12,000 messages collected by the Blue Book project (UFO study). After 4 years, the Air Force closed the project, declassifying most of the information, among which were more than 40 minutes from the 6-hour record, made on October 7. The incident at Edwards Air Base was another strange event during the period of cold war paranoia and problems with radar systems. The participants of the Blue Book project believed that there was no evidence that the observations could be categorized as “extraterrestrial”. Most likely, these are terrestrial vehicles, not alien ones.

However, the specific case seems interesting because witnesses were experienced pilots. They saw something strange, but they could not understand what it was. There are a great many such reports, and the fact of secrecy only stirs the interest of ufologists and supporters of conspiracy theories even more.
