"I'm one of those guys who has never seen a UFO. I've been asked and I've said publicly I thought they were somebody else, some other civilization."

"Four objects lined up in a row. I knew that they weren't stars."

"Certain reports of flying saucers to be legitimate."

"Several days in a row we sighted groups of metallic, saucer-shaped vehicles at great altitudes over the base, and we tried to get close to them, but they were able to change direction faster than our fighters. I do believe UFOs exist and that the truly unexplained ones are from some other technologically advanced civilization. From my association with aircraft and spacecraft, I think I have a pretty good idea of what everyone on this planet has and their performance capabilities, and I'm sure some of the UFOs at least are not from anywhere on Earth."

Omni, Vol. 2, N° b, mart 1980.

"I believe that these extraterrestrial vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet from other planets which obviously are a little more technically advanced than we are here on Earth. I feel that we need to have a top level, coordinated program to scientifically collect and analyze data from all over the earth concerning any type of encounter, and to determine how best to interface with these visitors in a friendly fashion. We may first have to show them that we have learned to resolve our problems by peaceful means, rather than warfare, before we are accepted as fully qualified universal team members. This acceptance would have tremendous possibilities of advancing our world in all areas. Certainly then it would seem that the UN has a vested interest in handling this subject properly and expeditiously."
"For many years I have lived with a secret, in a secrecy imposed on all specialists and astronauts. I can now reveal that every day, in the USA, our radar instruments capture objects of form and composition unknown to us. And there are thousands of witness reports and a quantity of documents to prove this, but nobody wants to make them public. Why? Because the authorities are afraid that people may think of some kind of horrible invaders. So the password still is: We have to avoid panic by all means."

"We all know that UFOs are real. All we need to ask is where do they come from."

"I was testing a P-51 fighter in Minneapolis when I spotted this object.
I was at about 10, 000 feet on a nice, bright, sunny afternoon.
I thought the object was a kite, then realized that no kite is gonna [sic] fly that high.
As I got closer, it looked like a weather balloon, gray and about three feet in diameter.
But as soon as I got behind the darn thing, it didn't look like a balloon anymore.
It looked like a saucer, a disc.
About that same time, I realized that it was suddenly going away from me - and there I was, running at about 300 miles an hour.
I tracked it for a little while, and then all of sudden the damn thing just took off.
It pulled about a 45-degree climbing turn and accelerated and just fat disappeared.
A couple of days later, I was having a beer with my commanding officer, and I thought, `What the hell, I'd better mention something to him about it.'
I did, and he told me to get on down to intelligence and give them a report.
I did, and I never heard anything more on it."
