US Army v UFO's, Korea 1951

[MrPosti...@kymhorsell.com]

Another collection of incidents the US military interacted, chased
and/or fired on strange objects in the past 70+y.
The statements from one soldier in the first item are interesting.
Canon fire against a UFO (apparently including 20mm aircraft
canon) seems to have no effect on UFO's. But small arms fire gets
a reaction in at least this case.
Seems the meteor shielding is designed for very energetic impacts but is
not so good at deflecting small & "slow speed" projectiles.
Hence maybe the "signature management" noted elsewhere,
I've prev posted data showing sighting density drops off closer to
groups of AFB's according to various power laws characteristic of how
the various "they" evaluate relevant threats.

UFO Encounters & Sightings Reported During The Korean War

UFO During Korean War

The following information is an update to an article I submitted in
Sept 2013. Some of the references provided are no longer
available online:

This text is an edited transcript of an interview between Mr. Francis
P. Wall, a private first class (PFC) in the US Army during the
Korean War, and John Timmerman, an associate of the J. Allen Hynek
Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) in Chicago, Illinois. The interview
took place in Jan, 1987. Noted UFO researcher Richard F. Haines
checked military records and found Mr. Wall listed as a Korean
combatant in the infantry unit he names below. Haines also requested
and received from Mr. Wall a drawing of the aerial object he claims to
have seen. The drawing depicts a very typical "flying saucer." CNI
News thanks John Timmerman for permission to reprint this
text. Mr. Wall recounts his experience as follows:

Bizarre Craft Hit Soldiers With Debilitating Light Beam

"This event that I am about to relate to you is the truth, so help me
God. It happened in the early Spring of 1951 in Korea. We were in the
Army infantry, 25th Division, 27th Regiment, 2nd Battalion, `Easy'
Company. We were in what is known on the military maps as the Iron
Triangle, near Chorwon.

"It is night. We are located on the slopes of a mountain, below
[which] there is a Korean village. Previously we have sent our men
into this village to warn the populace that we are going to bombard it
with artillery. On this night, we were doing just that. We had aerial
artillery bursts coming in.

"We suddenly noticed on our right-hand side what appeared to be a
jack-o-lantern come wafting down across the mountain. And at first no
one thought anything about it. So we noticed that this thing continued
on down to the village to where, indeed, the artillery air bursts were
exploding. It had an orange glow in the beginning. We further noticed
that this object was [so] quick that it could get into the center of
an airburst of artillery and yet remain unharmed.

"[The] time element on this, I would say, [was] anywhere from, oh,
forty-five minutes to an hour all told.

"But then this object approached us. And it turned a blue-green
brilliant light. It's hard to distinguish the size of it; there's no
way to compare it. The light was pulsating. This object approached us.

"I asked for and received permission from Lt. Evans, our company
commander at that time, to fire upon this object, which I did with an
M-1 rifle with armor-piercing bullets. And I did hit it. It must have
been metallic because you could hear when the projectile slammed into it.

"Now why would that bullet damage this craft if the artillery rounds
didn't? I don't know, unless they had dropped their protective field
around them, or whatever. But the object went wild, and the light was
going on and off. It went off completely once, briefly. And it was
moving erratically from side to side as though it might crash to the
ground. Then, a sound -- we had heard no sound previous to this -- the
sound of, like, diesel locomotives revving up. That's the way this
thing sounded.

"And then, we were attacked. We were swept by some form of a ray that
was emitted in pulses, in waves that you could visually see only when
it was aiming directly at you. That is to say, like a searchlight
sweeps around and... you would see it coming at you. Now you would
feel a burning, tingling sensation all over your body, as though
something were penetrating you.

GI Fires Upon an Unidentified Aerial Object

Following is a transcript of an interview between Mr. Francis P. Wall,
a private first class in the US Army during the Korean War and
Mr. John Timmerman who is Project Manager for the photo exhibit of the
J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies in the Fall of 1987. It has not
been edited in any way. This interesting event began at dusk and ended
at about 9 pm local time.

American Pilots Report UFOs over Korea

This chapter presents 30 UFO sighting reports that were made by
US Air Force, Navy, and Marine pilots during the war. They are
interesting because they show that the UFO was capable of out
performing the combat aircraft the US had at that time.

Ground Observers Report UFOs

This chapter presents a number of UFO sighting reports obtained from
project Blue Book files which involved observers on the ground. That
such sightings continued long after the Korean War is shown by an
interesting case which took place in 1974 which was reported by
Stringfield (1977).

Korean UFOs

Whether you believe in aliens or not, mysterious objects have been
seen buzzing the skies of Korea. A simple Internet search will reveal
hundreds of Korean UFO home pages. So far, no crashes. No
abductions. But that doesn't mean you can shelve your camera.

Seo Jong-han has dedicated 20 years to studying, tearing apart, and
occasionally verifying the twenty or so UFO photographs that crop up
every year. Apart from his day job as computer game developer, Seo is
a member of the Korea UFO Research Association (KUFORA), a small group
of analysts that subjects each reported sighting in Korea to close,
computer-aided scrutiny.

"When I was in the fifth grade, I read a magazine called `Boys
Central.' They had articles about UFOs every month, and I just got
curious about it," Seo said.

Australian Defence not looking at UFOs despite landmark report to US Congress
ABC News, 26 Jun 2021 05:02Z
Australia's Dept of Defence says it has no protocols to record
or analyse UFO sightings, despite a report urging the US govt to
give more attention to military sightings.
[For some reason the UK and AUS are not taking UFO's seriously and, if
anything, seem to be repressing reports harder than the US ever
did. There seems to be a pattern for how transparent national UFO
programs are and it has something to do with market capitalization and
our old pals the oil biz. If there are confirmed high-tech gizmos whizzing
around the Earth's atm and oceans that don't use gasoline that maybe could
undermine the status quo].
