1964 Dec 10th: Fort Riley, Kansas
On 10th December 1964,
at Fort Riley army base, Kansas, a guard was on duty in the motor pool.
He and 3 other men were ordered by a senior officer to make there way to a remote
corner of the base.
When they arrived they
noticed a large military chopper shining a large searchlight on a strange object
which was resting on the ground.
The object was already surrounded by several other military types.
The guard was then given 'shoot to kill' orders to stop any civilians who tried
to get near it.
He was also warned not to tell anyone about the incident.
He described the object as like a giant hamburger, 12m by 5m, with a dark line
along its rim and a small tail-fin stabiliser.
He also observed that the
air near the craft was very warm despite being a bitterly cold night.
Some time later UFO researchers managedto obtain some collaboraty evidence.
Another
guard reported that on the morningfollowing the alleged incident, he witnessed
a large flatbedtruck with a
roundish object covered with canvas sheets being driven out under high security
from the base.
