In
1978, an incredible incident allegedly took place in New Jersey, USA,
which has somehow evaded both the attention of many UFO researchers and
the mainstream community alike.
Two adjacent military bases Fort Dix and Fort McGuire played host to an incredible extraterrestrial and UFO encounter.
UFOs were sighted flying over the bases during the early morning hours
of January 18, and shortly afterwards Air Force security patrol were
ordered to the back gate of McGuire AFB to allow entry to New Jersey
State Police who were searching for something, but what?
State
trooper Sgt. Jeff Morse (pseudonym) was one of the airmen on duty and
was told that a Fort Dix MP was pursuing a low-flying object that had
hovered so close that it was actually just above his car. Then
according to the MP a small being with a large head and slender body
appeared in front of his car, causing him to panic and shoot the alien
several times with a .45 automatic. The being then fled over the fence
which separates the two bases, before collapsing on the deserted
runway and dying.
The
body was found lying on the runway by Morse and his colleagues before
other "blue beret" forces unfamiliar to Morse and his companion took
over once Morse had followed the routine procedure of cordoning off the
area of the "crime scene".
Later
that day a C-141 cargo aircraft arrived from Wright-Patterson AFB,
Ohio, where a team crated up the body, loaded it on board, before taking
off. Morse and other participants were taken to Wright- Patterson AFB
two days later where they interrogated and warned not to talk about the
incident to anyone. (Morse supplied the names of the interrogation team
taken from their name badges, and their identities have been verified.)
The information
that follows is taken from the MUFON Symposium Proceedings, "THE FATAL
ENCOUNTER AT FT. DIX-McGUIRE: A CASE STUDY; Status Report IV." by
Leonard H. Stringfield.
The
setting at Wright-Patterson was like that of a court martial, a table
and chairs in an unadorned room which Morse describes as follows: "While
there we were all together except for actual interrogations. Mine had
two men, one apparently a civilian with pipe and beard who never spoke. At
one point there were three men. One played nice guy, one mean guy, and,
of course, the silent civilian. All they wanted to know was the nature
of the incident, what I knew and then told me about my duty to keep my
mouth shut... I signed a form and it is supposed to bind me for life."
Never
once, as Morse recalls, did any of the interrogators offer information
or an explanation of the incident. Nor did anyone ever refer to the
retrieved dead body or suggest that it may have been of extraterrestrial
origin. Said Morse, "they beat around the bush, all references to it
were indirect." The
day after the interrogation, Morse returned to McGuire, was debriefed
by his Commanding Officer, Lt. Col. FM, and released for normal duty.
The incident, he said, was not discussed again by anyone as though it
never happened. Morse
was debriefed by his commanding officer, a lieutenant colonel shortly
after returning to McGuire AFB and heard no more about the incident. But
it wasn't long before each of the airmen who had been involved was
transferred to a separate overseas base. Morse was shipped to Okinawa,
Japan.
Morse
was within 40 to 70 feet from the dead body on the abandoned runway #5
at various times during his patrol duty but was never close enough to
observe details such as facial features, or its hands and feet. However,
under the glare of truck headlights, Morse did recall seeing the skin
of the naked hairless body which he described as being wet, shiny, and
snake-like. As reported in his initial letter, the entity was about 4
feet in height with a large head, slender torso, thin arms and legs, and
overall, of greyish-brown colouration. The humanoid which was not
human, seems to fit the anatomical description so often heard from
military sources who have made claim to having seen entities at crash
sites in the past and most likely fits the Zeta-Reticulan model commonly
referred to as the Greys.
UFO researcher Leonard Stringfield wrote to the man using the pseudonym Sgt. Morse, to hear his version of events. Below is a copy of the letter Stringfield received as a reply to his correspondence:

1.
In January of 1978, I was station at McGuire AFB, N.J.. One evening ,
during the time frame of 0300 hrs. and O500 hrs., there were a number of
UFO sightings in the area over the air field and Ft. DIX Army camp. I
am a security policeman and was on routine patrol at the time. N.J.
State Police, and Ft. Dix MP's were running code in the direction of
Brownsville, N.J.. A state trooper then entered Gate #5 at the rear of
the base requesting assistance and permission to enter. I was dispatched
and the trooper wanted access to the runway area which led to the very
back of the air field and connected with a heavily wooded area which is
part of the Dix training area. He informed me that a Ft. Dix MP was
pursuing a low flying object which then hovered over his car. He
described it as oval shaped, with no details, and glowing with a blueish
green color. His radio transmission was cut off. At that time in front
of his police car, appeared a thing, about 4 ft. tall, greyish, brown,
fat head, long arms, and slender body. The MP panicked and fired five
rounds from his .45 Cal into the thing, and one round into the object
above. The object then fled straight up and joined with eleven others
high in the sky. This we all saw but didn't know the details at the
time. Anyway, The thing ran into the woods towards our fence line and
they wanted to look for it. By this time several patrols were involved.
2.
We found the body of the thing near the runway. It had apparently
climbed the fence and died while running. It was all of a sudden
hush-hush and no one was allowed near the area. We roped off the
area and AF OSI came out and took over. That was the last I saw of it.
There was a bad stench coming from it too. Like ammonia smelling but it
wasn't constant in the air. That day, a team from Wright-Patterson AFB
came in a C-141 and went to the area. They crated it in a wooden box,
sprayed something over it, and then put it into a bigger metal
container. They loaded it in the plane and took off. That was it,
nothing more said, no report made and we were all told not to have
anything to say about it or we would be court-martialed.
3.
I will be getting out of the air force in about two months. Do Not
disclose my name as I could get into trouble. I am interested in
pursuing this and other matters if you need help. Forgive me for not
signing this but I can't take any chances. Please reply to the above
address and my parents will forward it to me or I will be home already.
Don't send it here because they monitor all mail closely and I again
don't want to take any chances.
Another
military figure has come forward in connection to the remarkable
incident in New Jersey, but he has been brave enough to use his actual
name. Major George Filer now retired (see image above), who was also
stationed at McGuire AFB in 1978 was serving as an intelligence officer
at the time of the incident and although he
was not on duty that morning, he was witness to a lot of unusual
activity and he heard talk about the "alien body" the following
morning.
Discussing
the case with Dr. Steven Greer for The Disclosure Project, Filer said
"This particular morning, when I went into the command post, I was met
by the head of the command post, and he said that it [had] been a very
exciting evening - that [we'd] had UFOs over McGuire all night, that one
had apparently landed or crashed at Fort Dix, and that when a military
policeman came upon the alien, that he had pulled out a gun and shot
him."He told researcher Richard Hall "Our security police went out there
and found him at the end of the runway dead. They asked me to brief the
general staff," but was later told not to.
In Greer's book Disclosure, Major
Filer continued, "The security police were out there and had captured
the body, so to speak, and were guarding it. He said that a C-141 from
Wright-Patterson was coming in to pick up the body. That made me stand
up, because I didn't realize that Wright-Patterson had C-141s." Filer
was then told by his superiors that "We want you to brief us at the
standup general briefing this morning and explain what happened to
everybody".
"And, I said you want me to tell General Tom Sandler and everybody in the command post that we captured an alien?! They said, "Yes, we want you to brief them this morning." Well, I did some checking around, and I called the 38th Military Airlift Wing Command Post to check with them to see if the story was the same I was given. They said, yes, that they had heard the same information; they said that this actually did happen - that an alien was found on the base."
Filer
is not new to UFO sightings either. He also chased a UFO over England
when flying for the U.S. Air Force. "I didn't believe in UFOs until
London Control called us in the winter of 1962 and asked us would we
chase one? So we said sure." Since that day he has maintained an
interest in the subject, claiming that "I personally have observed a UFO
both visually and on radar. I've been chasing them ever since,".
Despite
the apparent lack of physical evidence to legitimise this particular
case, it is certainly consistent with other stories of a similar kind.
The secrecy, the threats, the involvement of Wright-Patterson AFB once
again as the site to house and conceal extraterrestrial bodies and
craft. To delve deeper into this case click HERE to read Leo Stringfield's investigation in more depth.
