Damn! This is a very good case (and article) I hadn’t heard about. I can’t imagine how many cases are like this scattered across multiple investigators and journalists without any public coherence. I wonder just how coherent the DoD files are. Thanks for this one!!

And for more information about the 1966 Westall Flying Saucer Incident, which happened a year-to-the-day before the incident at Crestview Elementary School in Opa-Locka, Florida, see it's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1966westallflyingsaucerincident - or the documentary "Westall '66: A Suburban UFO Mystery": https://theeducationshop.com.au/optical-media/dvds-and-blu-rays/westall-66-a-suburban-ufo-mystery-dvd/

A great article - thank you Billy. Just a note: the sightings at Crestview Elementary School in Opa-Locka, Florida started on April 6, 1967, and continued for two more days. Hundreds of witnesses in daylight to several UFOs over the fields adjacent to the school - teachers, students and local residents. The USAF responded to the school. So, April 6, 1967 - a year to the day after the very similar incident centred on two schools at Westall in Melbourne! :) See the Crestview Elementary School Incident here in this episode from the Discovery Channel Canada's "Close Encounters" series: https://youtu.be/jvgQ0xFEBNE

Maybe they're dropping in on the wrong schools. None of these kids have become heads of state.

Yeah. They never visit Skull and Bones at Yale. Go bother those rich kids some.

Woah, Forgot to add what a great story and one I'd never heard! Thank you, Billy.

Activity sure to increase with threat of nuclear war due to Russia/Ukraine. Plus the planet being destroyed by climate change. They probably like the planet-- but us? Probably not. I doubt we are going to have public disclosure from the DOD ever. And there could be all sorts of reasons for that, both benevolent and malevolent.

Maybe abductions are their way of creating a genetic Ark, or a frozen zoo. So, like, when our final acts of stupidity are complete, they'll have enough viable material to play around with and try it again somewhere else.

Could very well be! I created a hypothesis about how a type of interaction between some NHI could have fast tracked human evolution. If that's the case (and there is some physical evidence to support the hypothesis) 'they' wouldn't want the entire experiment to go to waste!

Another really good account that has a lot of credibility. Would totally agree that AARO and or the Congressional hearings are never going to say 'jack' about real UFO encounters. Those encounters will always be 'Classified'. I also believe those hearings are setup to tire the public and or scare them into the realm of adversarial advanced tech that should be countered by our esteemed military industrial complex.

Makes me wonder about the human mind and what we will/can believe and what we reject. Life after death, a peaceful demonstration in what was obviously an insurrection, Trump won an election.........you get the picture. BTW I'm the female friend who weighed in on invading various orifices. I stand by what I said. Get well Billy.

You have to have something pretty special to take my attention away from politics and weekend political analysis. But I just turned off "Face the Nation" to read this, because, who wouldn't? Never heard of these men or their story. Just wow.

A reminder that, perhaps, they're here to be seen, but if you get too close the gloves come off.

Good story. Never heard this one. 1967 was big year for UFO/ military encounters.

Thank you. I am fascinated by disclosure being forced out of the confines of DOD, but with as much mainstream governmental legitimacy as possible!
