Released: 30 July 2023
Duration: 54 Minutes 21 Seconds

This is our first anonymous API Conversation, although we are using the real first name of our Witness. A former Air Force F111 technician tells us his story about a UFO encounter captured on RADAR at Cannon Air Force base in New Mexico in the mid 1970s, and what followed after that.

If you served with Airman Pat at Cannon AFB in the mid 1970s, or if you were in Clovis, NM at that time, we’d like to hear your side of the story.

Our growing photo library

We’re always adding new photos to our library. Some are IFOs (like the one below from the U.S. Department of Defense), some are genuine unknowns, and quite a few are in that grey area where we spend much of our time.

If you have any photos you would like us to look at, please contact us. If it is a real UFO photo or video you took, then please use our reporting form. In either case, we want to know as many of the specifics as possible, including the provenance of the image. If it’s a really good one, and contains no PII, we may feature it here or in one of our videos.

I regret having kept the ufo printout, and having believed the providing co worker.  I know exactly what you listeners are thinking of that.  Just as it was derogatorily repeatedly made known to me in no uncertain terms, over the years, by certain ufo enthusiasts and online commenters.

I have a reason, that is not an excuse.  

In the year 2018, I see and know the truth about me, of 1981.  

I would rather not publicize (in medical vernacular,) a condition.

I am an Autistic person, which I was not awake to that fact, until my mid 40’s.  

We types tend to latch our focus onto one thing, with mental blinders on the sides.

I was naive and socially inept, and my then-unacknowledged condition also did not help me on polygraph exams.

If I could go back in time knowing what I know now, I would never have entered the service
