Object Causes Mass Mental Effects

Mufon Case Number 23268 – This part (23273) was submitted to the MUFON.com ‘Last 20 Reports’ site on May 14, 2010:

“Primary witness was a air force pilot for the majority of his life and has never seen anything like it.

“Spoke to primary witness who witnessed a object at Cape Canaveral Beach {actually a small inland beach on the Indian River, near Cape Canaveral} in 1964 with a date. Described it as a steel ball like a steal barring. It had two rings one horizontal the other vertical. Color of the rings were yellow green fuzzy color. At arms length the object was about the size of a tennis ball.

“He noticed the object due to the silence that occurred at the beach area. Looked up and saw the described object. All the people on the beach area were all silent and starring at the object. The object then took off straight up in seconds. The primary witness then described the reaction of the people on the beach as not alarmed but were described as zombie like and all of them began to walk out of the beach area, get in their cars and leave. Even a vendor attached his cart to his vehicle and calmly got in his vehicle and drove off. Ray and his date followed soon after.”

A recorded interview was attached:

Snippets from the interview:

‘it was a Sunday afternoon  - walking west  200-300 people on that narrow stretch of beach

400-500 feet in air     steel ball     real shiny    it had 2 rings

the rings pulsated  - no wobble it just hovered    we watched it for 2-3 minutes     it started to rise slowly     then shot straight up

all real calm as everybody left       all seemed mesmerized 

nothing in papers or TV

it was just hanging there, silent    
surface very reflective – top was reflecting blue sky

at arm’s length – size of tennis ball      1500 ft up max.

on Indian river      just north of Cape Canaveral   
not a cloud in the sky 
1 PM or so     200 or more on the strip of land   kids running and hollering and radios  - everything went quiet all of a sudden

nobody pointing, just standing there looking at it

when it left, everyone like zombies, left

one of the strangest thing I’ve ever encountered in my life

could hear only slight breeze through the vegetation

only thing in the sky’     “just like somebody had just hung it there”


Incident With NASA Capsule Retrieval Helicopter  May 1964

The following report was submitted to MUFON on Jan. 17, 2010:

“In May 1964 My father obtained a job working . . . at the Kennedy Space Center. At the time my family and I were living . . . on the Atlantic Ocean Cocoa Beach. That late evening I went down to the beach and had my binoculars with me just looking over the ocean N. E. and S. to my left or North I could see the Cape Canaveral Pad all lite up for another Gemini missile launch for some future date. I focused my attention to the ocean right in front of me and the Sun was just setting behind th Banana River when I saw a helecoptor about a mile or two of shore out in front of me droping a capsul and practicing retreaving the capsul from the water as one of the neighbors told me it was standard practice.”

“As I watched the stars just start to come out that cold blue sky, the missile pads are well let to the North and Patrick AFB to my right Is lit up as well. I continued to watch the the helecoptor with it running lights on shinging down on the capsule crew below it, when above the helecoptor I saw an increadable fast light what I thought was a star at first or meator like brightness heading straight for the helecptor. It was increadably fast and like a blink of an eye it was over the helecoptor an huge I would say at least a 100 ft and all of this is happning withen 30 minutes between sun set and dark. I just watched with other apartment neighbors on the beach we just stood there stairing.”

“The helecoptor with capsul hanging below it and crew already in the coptor started evesave manuvers away from the bright round object. No one said anything and I thought for sure it was going to crash into the helecoptor because of how close it was and remember I'm watching this through my binoculars. It was fantastic! at least I thought since I was 15 years old. No sooner had the helecoptor started for Cape Canaveral when I looked to my right and saw two jets with full after burners on from Patrick AFB heading for the helecoptor with the bright ball of fire following it. As fast as it took me to turn my attention back to the activity out in front of me, the jets were gaining on the Bright Ball of Fire, and it took off straight up like a flash of lightning and the jets were climbing after it. I was amazed at how fast that fire ball went up and away, it was like the jets were just being toyed with. During the incident some one had gone and called Patrick AFB Military up and as we started to leave the beach and not one person spoke up about what just happened. An MP Vehicles from Patrick AFB pulled up and took statements from everyone who was watching the whole thing. This type of incident happened over the years in Coca Beach many times and just before night launches the ball of fire appeared, all the way up from the Gemini Program to the Saturn one "B" projects. It is something many of us will never forget.”


From ‘On This Day’:

1964-06-24 - Vero Beach, Florida – predawn - Fifteen or more disc-shaped objects paced a truck driver and his wife. The discs flew along, tipping back and forth. They formed a V formation, then a circular formation. Finally the objects split the formation and passed on either side of a group of trees. (Source: NICAP UFO Investigator, August 1964, p. 1).

1964-09-07  Daytona Beach, Florida – Night   Large Egg with Beings
A silver colored, egg-shaped object with two rows of windows was estimated to be over 200 feet long. Inside 12 "large people" could be seen moving about. The witness was familiar with blimps and aircraft. (Source: Ted Bloecher investigation files, case investigation dated February 11, 1965).
