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!!
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
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.
"He said they were all informed they had witnessed a NORAD exercise, and were threatened with imprisonment if they talked about it. All radar data was confiscated."
And there you have in a nutshell why they're never going to disclose any significant information to the general public. Because if they did it opens up a pandoras box of past incidents like this one that were squashed.
All they want to do is release just enough information to make sure that the normal citizens understand who's really in control.
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.

Fascinating!! Great story. Well written. Now we know.
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/
"James Fox makes it clear that him and others have recorded interviews with "intel folks" that have already testified to AARO
"If the government is not going to release it, we're going to release this to the public so they'll know that this is going on."

I've always like this case. Thank you for sharing it and reminding me of it, Billy.
Woah, Forgot to add what a great story and one I'd never heard! Thank you, Billy.

A reminder that, perhaps, they're here to be seen, but if you get too close the gloves come off.
That was compelling. Excellent writing, which is par for the Billy course. Wow.
Good story. Never heard this one. 1967 was big year for UFO/ military encounters.
