Approach Direction: West to East
Departure Direction: East
Witness Direction: Straight up
Description: Staying at the "Mid Trail" resort which is halfway through the Cabot Trail and adjacent to Pleasant Bay.
The sky was perfectly clear.
I was laying outside on the patio with a blanket and pillow just watching the stars.
I saw several planes fly behind the mountains nearby and a couple of satellites fly by.
At 1am directly above me a round light appeared as though it just phased in. It was nearly 3 times brighter than any star in the sky including Venus. Once it peaked its brightness it moved as slow as a satellite does from West to East across the sky. As it moved it began to fade in brightness until it looked much like a normal satellite does. It travelled for another 4 or 5 seconds then just simply disappeared.
I have seen many satellites and planes over the years as well as meteors and this was like nothing I have ever seen before.
Color/Shape: Bright white light
| Project Beta: The Story of Paul Bennewitz, National Security, and the Creation of a Modern UFO Myth
- Greg Bishop In 1978, Paul Bennewitz, an electrical physicist living in Albuquerque, New Mexico, engaged in some aggressive radio monitoring of the nearby Sandia Labs, then managed by the Department of Defense. When he became convinced that the strange lights hovering over the labs and Kirtland Air Force Base signaled the vanguard of an extraterrestrial alien invasion, he began writing TV stations, newspapers, senators -- and even President Reagan -- to alert them.
For the most part Bennewitz received form-letter replies, but Air Force investigators paid him a visit, as did Bill Moore, author of the first book on the Roswell incident. Before long Moore -- then a new force in civilian UFO research -- was tapped by a group of intelligence agents and a deal was struck: Moore was to keep tabs on Bennewitz while the Air Force ran a psychological profile and disinformation campaign on the unsuspecting physicist. In return, Air Force Intelligence would let Moore in on classified UFO material.
This is Bennewitz's harrowing tale, told by fringe-culture historian Greg Bishop. It is the troubling account of the custom-made hall of smoke and mirrors that eventually drove Bennewitz to a mental institution, as well as the story of the explosive propagation of disinformation that began in 1979 and reverberates through the UFO community and pop culture to this day.
