Thule Air Base Greenland Encounter 1960

◎Thule Air Base, Greenland

Thule Air Base — home of the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System facing the Soviet Union — experienced a close-range UAP intrusion. An orb hovered over the BMEWS radar installation for 25 minutes. Given Thule's role as the primary nuclear attack warning system, the incident triggered the highest alert classification.

Area 51 Early Overflights — UAP Concurrent with A-12 1960

◎Groom Lake, Nevada (Area 51)

Declassified CIA and Air Force records confirm that during the same period when the U-2 and A-12 OXCART were being tested at Area 51, pilots and radar operators at the facility regularly observed objects performing maneuvers that exceeded the classified aircraft they were testing. CIA officer Richard Bissell's internal memoranda acknowledge these observations. The CIA deliberately encouraged civilian UAP reports from U-2 and SR-71 altitude operations to be explained as aircraft, but this cover did not account for observations by cleared personnel who knew what classified aircraft looked like.
