Artillery Takes Out Landed UFO At Da Nang, RVN - Happy Valley In 1966
Date: Between February and July of 1966
Time: 2:00 - 4:00 a.m.
Location of Sighting: Da Nang, RVN - Happy Valley.
Number of witnesses: Unknown.
Number of Objects: Believed to be 1
Shape of Objects: Unknown.
Full Description of Event/Sighting: Radar track from Danang, and Aerial
observer. Taken out by
Artillery fire. More info if you are interested. Did not get any TDA
following the counter fire.
I was in the US Marine Corps, and served in the SE Asia area during 1964,
1965, 1966, 1968,
and 1969. It was during my 1965-66 tour that we were located to the northeast
of Da Nang, and
I was in an Artillery Fire Direction Center (FDC). We controlled close to 100
Field Artillery
pieces in the Da Nang area, and could bring about 500 rounds onto one football
field sized spot
in about 3 minutes.
I have had some injuries from auto crashes since then and do not remember just
when the
incident occurred, but it was between February and July of 1966. I was on the
late night shift
and we got a call from the air base that a UFO had come in and landed at a set
of coordinates
generated by the GCA Radar. These plotted out in an area that we referred to
as "Happy Valley."
The IFF response had been un heeded and the radar and visual tracking from an
airborne craft in
the area did not match any known aircraft. Since we were close to the DMZ, no
one wanted to
take any chances and we were given clearance to fire all available artillery
on it. We had about
70+ pieces that could range the target so we plotted a time on target mission
and fired 6 rounds
per piece on the target.
The GCA radar kept watch on the area and the observer stayed a safe distance
out of the lines of
fire. We got the usual artillery bursts and at the end of the barrage there
was a huge flash that
registered on the GCA radar. The air observer reported that nothing had left
the area, and it was
too dark to look for damage until sunup. We filed the fire mission request
and record of fire
with the other log sheets and had been advised that a ground crew was going in
for TDA at first
light. When we came on shift 2 days later we looked for the record of fire
sheet to see what the
ground crew had found.
We were amazed to find that the entire set of records for that mission had
vanished. No one
would admit to being told to pull it and we never did find out what we had hit
other than the
initial comments that had come back to us while we were firing on the target.
I still have no clue
what we shot. It was big and got a lot of people excited. No other sightings
were reported in
our area that I heard about before I left in August of 1966. This has always
been a puzzling
experience, wandering around in the back of my mind. I have often wondered if
we had in deed
taken out an extraterrestrial space craft, and how badly we had irritated whom
ever it belonged
to.
Sorry I don't have more or better descriptive information on the craft or the
post attack findings.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to tell this story. I would be
interested in hearing about
any thing that may have been found out about this incident as it has been
bothering me for over
40 years now.
