Edwards AFB UFOs

On the night of October 7, 1965, according to UFO Hunters, up to seven UFOs flew over Edwards Air Force Base for about six hours. The objects were seen by USAF personnel and picked up on several radars in the area. The USAF report on "The Incident"-- recently declassified-- said the objects were that old standby, weather balloons. Edwards, then as now, deals with some of the most advanced aircraft in the world; it's certainly questionable whether many people at that base would be fooled by weather balloons.

The program featured the man in the air traffic control tower at the time of The Incident, and played snippets of what the program claimed were six hours of audiotape detailing what went on that night. A special, covering more of those tapes, might be appropriate. If the story hangs together, the Edwards Incident, because of its duration, the presumed quality of the witnesses, and the corroboration of those sightings by radar hits, could possibly change everything.
