Elmwood and the Landing Pad That Was Never Built
A Wisconsin town of eight hundred where three sightings came one after another in 1975–76, one of them by a police officer. Patrolman George Wheeler radioed that an object with a row of windows was hanging over a hill, after which the radio cut out and his engine died. Wheeler died six months later, and the town connected the two. After the wave a resident proposed building a UFO landing pad outside the town — with a tower, lights and a reception centre — and put a committee together for it. The fifty-million-dollar project stayed on paper. Elmwood has held UFO Days at the end of July since 1978.
Holloman and the Landing That Is Not on Film
In the 1970s a story spread through the subject that in April 1964 an unidentified craft had landed at this New Mexico base and that a meeting with its crew had been filmed. The source was a producer, Robert Emenegger, preparing a documentary; he was never able to show the film. The base is genuinely associated with the unusual: high-altitude balloon programmes ran here and rocket sleds were tested, and things that fly nowhere else were regularly seen overhead. It is a good example of how a real closed site attracts stories. Nothing in this one is checkable except that the account exists, with a precise date and not one document.
