Adak Island, Alaska UFO Hovers
Location Information: Adak is an island midway along the Aleutian Island chain
southwest of mainland Alaska at 177 degrees west. At 52 degrees north it is
not exactly arctic, nor is it temperate; but it is nearly always buffeted by
cold, wet winds. Most of the wind is generated by an endless series of
cyclonic storms. The weather report for aviators almost never varies: Winds
25-40 gusting to 60, mostly cloudy with layers at 800 feet, 1200 feet, 2000
feet. Visibility 7 miles, rain. Temp 40 degrees F (plus or minus 5 degrees for
most of the year). It is bounded on the east and the west by volcanoes. To the
west is Kanaga Volcano, a beautiful perfect cone, and to the east by Great
Sitkin, which nearly always is at least smoking and erupted in the early
1970's.
Brian Vike Director of *HBCC UFO Research* had a nice telephone conversation
with an ex-serviceman by the name of Art. Art was stationed on Adak Island
Aleutian Islands and was part of the crash crew for the fire department. One
late night in January 1976 at the airport, the control tower personnel rang
the crash crew and told the members that an aircraft was going to be landing.
The crash crew members jumped up and peered out the window and did not see an
airplane of any kind, but rather a glowing object approximately 50 feet
across. (Art told me it was the brightest light that he has ever seen in his
life)
Art said it was really eerie to watch, and the humming that came from the UFO,
seemed to resonate throughout all of the crash teams bodies. One has to
remember that the crash team was still inside their building when they could
feel the humming, but they eventually did move outside and stood approximately
100 feet away from this huge and extremely bright UFO which was hovering just
over the tarmac pretty much in front of the control tower and of course all
the men watching.
As everyone stood looking at this unidentified object, more bright lights
about the size of a Volkswagen came from out of the hovering UFO and flew at
an incredible fast rate of speed up to a communication station which was
located on a nearby hill and sat stationary on it. Another light went down and
hovered over the bunkers. After a period of time the lights that were zipping
around did come back to the main object and merged into it. All of a sudden
the large UFO took off at such a high rate of speed it left all of the
personnel watching it dumfounded. As Art mentioned, we have nothing here on
earth that could move as quickly as this thing did and I would certainly be in
agreement with Art on this.
The control tower called the crash crew and asked, "what the hell was that"!
The crew replied back, it was a UFO! Art remembers one of the personnel in the
control tower cursing, as this was something one does not see every day, and
he also mentioned that the object was as bright as the sun and lit up the
entire area as if it was daylight.
Art said, they were really frightened, they were young men at the time, Art
being 19 years old. The thirteen men stood looking at one another saying,
"what the heck was that"?
Soon afterwards, or after the event was over which left a lot of men
scratching their heads, the officer of the day showed up and confronted the
men and told them what they all saw was "Ball Lightning". Art's response to
the officer of the day was, if that was ball lightning, then it had to be the
largest display of lightning on record. Art also said he would be more than
willing to sit down and take a lie detector test to provide what he is
relating is the truth.
He also mentioned that there were people taking pictures of the object. He
could not remember who these people were, but when the pictures came back, Art
remembers everyone looking at them and seeing nothing but a bright, camera
flash type light in each of the photos. One just wasn't able to see anything
other than this brilliant white light.
Art also figures the object sat stationary just feet about the tarmac for 10
to 15 minutes. This object wasn't flying by, it was sitting still for a long
period of time in front of all these men. Also he said that the UFO incident
was placed into the crash crews logbook and also in the control tower's
logbook as well.
Art sat down on another day following the sighting and wrote a letter to his
family back home. This was a personal letter, asking how things were, etc,
then Art added that he saw a UFO. He described just a little about what he
saw.
You can view the letter by clicking on the following link. I also should add
that HBCC UFO Research has not removed any of the names or information. I
asked Art if I should remove names and he told me to leave the letter as is.
The family members who are mentioned in this letter have passed away. I have
also added a link to the envelope the letter came in. After the family members
passed on a lot of their possessions were given back to family and this is how
Art came into possession again of his letter.
You also can listen to the telephone interview I did with Art over the UFO
sighting at Adak Island, Aleutian Islands Alaska. The interview is 23:31
minutes in length. More can be heard by listening to the audio portion of this
report.
On a side note, separate from the sighting Art and the other men had. Art told
me about another time when a Coast Guard ship docked at Adak Island where he
was stationed, and he and others were handling the tying up of the Coast Guard
ship. After the ship was docked and the Coast Guard crew were coming off the
ship, one of the sailors stopped and talked to Art and the other men, saying
you would not believe what just happened as the Coast Guard ship was coming
into port. A UFO came straight up and out of the water in front of the ship
and kept traveling straight up. The sailor said the craft was anywhere from 50
to 100 feet in width. The ship immediately scrambled and went into general
quarters. The sailor said he was as white as a sheet, from the sounds of
things, the entire crew was pretty freaked out over the incident. Also I
should add, this UFO incident happened prior to what Art and the others folks
witnessed.
