Donald E. Keyhoe, the Marine officer who advanced the outer-space-spy-in-the-sky theory on behalf of the Na- tional Investigations Commit- tee on Avrial Phenomena, called on the U.S. Government yesterday to release all the information it has on UFO sightings. “There is substantial evi- dence we are being observed by some sort of device which is far more advanced than anything we have and is con- trolled by a superior civiliza- tion,” he told a press confer- ence, “These things are real and under {nteiligent control,” he added. He urged the air force to “end the secrecy on sight- ings and stop ridiculing the competent witnesses” who have seen them. Keyhoe, who has written several books on the subject of UFO's, is director of the investigations committee. Te majority of the Western Ontario sightings came from London and Sarnia. Mrs. J, Fielding, of 1025 Ox- ford St. E, London, reported seeing a white light in the northeast sky, headed toward Stratford at 7:25 p.m. A Thorndale ‘area man, Floyd Baxter, at 7:40 reported seeing an orange and yellow light moving very slowly to the northeast.

POLICE CHIEF "CONVINCED THEY SAW SOMETHING Six Teens Tell of ‘Chase’ by Buzzing, Lighted UFOs By ROBERT KISTLER Denver Post Staff Writer Six picnicking Denver teen-agers reported Thursday night they were chased for an hour by unidentified flying objects in Daniels Park south of Denver in Douglas County. The high school students—three boys, three girls—told Police Chief John C. Maclvor of Littleton they witnessed un- y “hovering” red, blue and white lights began about 9:30 p.m. ‘The teen-agers, all 17, who described what they saw hesitantly, were described by Maclvor as being “sincere, ‘cold sober and a little shaken by what they saw.” The group appeared at Maclvor's office shortly before ll p.m. , .. “I was real skeptical at first,” Maclvor said. “But each ‘of the kids called their parents—who knew they'd been pic- nicking—to tell them where they were. “| don't know what they saw,” he said, “bat I'm con- vinced they saw something.”” Alan Scrivner, son of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Scrivner of 10 Jackson St., a junior at East High School, gave the following account Scrivner and five friends drove to Daniels Park, 10-12 Injles southeast of Littleton, about 6:30 p.m. They parked the car and walked about a city block down a small incline and up again to a stone shelter built in the side of a hill The group was sitting around a fire they'd built inside when they heard “what sounded like a man walking on top of the shelter.” The roof can easily be reached on foot from the slanting hillside. Scrivner and Don Otis, an East High junior, son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmo Otis, 1999 Fairfax St., stood on top of the shelter and shined a flashlight into the surrounding area. They saw nothing. The two—leaving the others behind in the shelter—made their way through the underbrush back to the road. “I thought someone was messing around my car,” Scrivner said. “Just as we got to the car,” he said, “both of us heard a.real weird buzzing noise. It seemed to be all around us.” As they reached the car, the youths saw “two red lights —about a foot each in diameter—about two feet off the ground and parallel to each other.” There was a white light in the center of the reds. ‘The lights, about 20 feet apart, appeared to be in a field on the far side of the road “about 25 yards" from the car, The two, thinking “it might be two parked cars or something,” crouched in the ditch and waited. About three minutes later, they again approached the car. They saw and heard nothing. They returned to the shelter. The four in the shelter said that, while the two had been gone, they'd heard the same “‘footstep-like"’ sound on the roof again. Two of the girls said they'd also seen a “tall Area UFO Buffs Report Skies Clear of Saucers Recent sightings in other sec-\south of Spokane at Christm: tions of the country have stimu- lated interest in unidentified fly-/have been Super-Space World | Sought By Soviets | Montreal Gazette, 4-30-66) man, who might've been wearing a raincoat,” dart through the light showing through the window into the area. They also said they heard his footsteps. The group decided to leave, As they were walking back to the car, Otis turned and saw “a real bright flash behind the hill over the shelter and it lit up the whole area,” Buzzing ‘All Around’ The ominous buzzing began again. No direction, “just all around — never heard anything like it in my life,” Scrivner said. Shortly afterward as the group neared the car, they all agreed they saw the same thing: Two blue lights hovering low in the sky, about three- quarters of a mile away. The lights were stationary and went from bright to dim. A third — white — light appeared to rise up and down between the blues and “lit up the area.” No outline —other than the lights—was visible. They atop the car's hood and watched the blue and white lights “off and on” for about a half hour. The lights appeared in back of the shelter — in the opposite di- rection from the first lights seen in the field. Twenty minutes after the blues appeared, another set— these, blues with a bright red in the center — appeared “off to the left of the others and about a block away.” These hovered near the ground. The buzzing continued, The night was overcast with no stars visible but “real Deputy Gets Too *THE DENVER POST Friday April@, 1966 3 clear beneath the clouds where the lights were." As the third set of lights hovered, the youths agreed they could see a dark outline between the lights. : “It looked like.a black football—the blue lights on each end — with an orange on top, like a bubble. The red light was at the bottomi. It didn’t move up and own, but did cast a beam of light at the ground,” Scrivner said. "Car Didn't Work Right’ The youngsters piled in car — a 194 Ford — and started out of the park. “You'll all think we're nuts,” Scrivner said later, “but my car didn’t work right. I could get it up to about 30 (miles an hour) then it would cut out like someone turned the ignition off, Then it would start up again.” Scrivner also complained that the radio was “playing nothing but static” while they left the immediate area of the shelter. As they drove off, two of the girls and Otis saw what appeared to be a “large, oval circle of light — it covered the whole road — following the car.” Mary Zolar, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack A. Zolar, 45 Fairfax St., a senior at East, was in the back seat with two others. “It was huge and glowing,” she said, “and came right up to the back of the car, then went out. It lasted about three seconds.” As the car left the park area, it quit “missing out” and the radio played normally, Scrivner said.
