1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,640
Yes, this is the Persian County Sheriff's Department in Lovelock, Nevada.

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:07,640
Yes, sir.

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:13,920
We had a report of a UFO that was in the area of Emily, Nevada.

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:14,920
Okay.

5
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:23,800
And it was reported to have hovered over the highway at about 500 feet for 10 to 12 minutes

6
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:28,120
and went over into a mountain range and exploded.

7
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:35,360
People, we have one person that has stopped and will give a witness report.

8
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:40,760
And we have about four or five other people that were talking about it on the CV and several

9
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,120
phone calls to this effect.

10
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,120
They said they didn't see debris falling.

11
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,120
Okay, you have a part of his name?

12
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,120
No, we do not.

13
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,120
NHP is handling the party there in Winamaka.

14
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,120
They are quite a ways away from us, so we couldn't get the statement from them.

15
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,120
Okay.

16
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,120
Do they have an officer we could contact?

17
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:04,120
I do not know his name, but you might be able to get it from Elko NHP.

18
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,120
Okay.

19
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,120
He should be handling it in Winamaka.

20
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,120
All right, sir.

21
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,120
We sure appreciate his tip.

22
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,120
Thank you very much.

23
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,120
Right.

24
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,120
Bye.

25
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,120
Do you want me to help you?

26
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:16,120
Yes, ma'am.

27
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,120
The CUFO Reporting Center in Washington.

28
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:23,120
We understand that you have had something seen or seen to explode in the sky down here

29
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,120
away.

30
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,120
Could you give us any information on that?

31
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:27,120
Okay.

32
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,120
All right.

33
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:33,120
Well, most of the reports came to our trooper on CV.

34
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,120
He was in the Winamaka area.

35
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,120
It's supposed to be about...

36
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,120
Let's see.

37
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,120
29 miles with the Winamaka matter.

38
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,120
Uh-huh.

39
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:56,120
And it went towards the Star Peak range, which is south of Interstate 80.

40
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:02,120
The Highway Patrolman and the M.L.A. Deputy rolled out that way and hasn't seen anything,

41
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:07,120
but he does have witnesses, and he's going to take statements from the truck drivers

42
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,120
that've seen it, because they haven't found anything.

43
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:16,120
All his reports said there was an op-dude.

44
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,120
Thank you, beautiful.

45
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,120
Any?

46
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:26,120
Hovering over the Interstate about 500 feet, and then it zipped off towards the south

47
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,120
and seemed to explode in the sky.

48
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,120
He didn't see it himself.

49
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,120
I see.

50
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,120
These were just the reports given to him on CV radio.

51
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,120
I see.

52
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,120
Okay.

53
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,120
Now, is he operating out of your office?

54
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,120
Yes.

55
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,120
Uh-huh.

56
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,120
When will he be in?

57
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,120
Do you have any idea?

58
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,120
Hold on.

59
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,120
When is your 29th o'clock?

60
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,120
That's 7188.

61
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,120
7188.

62
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,120
7188.

63
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,120
7188.

64
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,120
That's 10 miles south of the Indian Steel Road.

65
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,120
I'll look for it at least, here.

66
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,120
Back to the station.

67
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,120
7188.

68
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,120
He should be there at 30 to 45.

69
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,120
Okay.

70
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,120
I'll give him a little bit of help.

71
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,120
That's quick.

72
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:12,120
He should be back into town in about 30 or 45 minutes.

73
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,120
Who should I have in call?

74
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,120
U.S.

75
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,120
O'Reporting Center.

76
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,120
Could you hold the line just a minute?

77
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:21,120
Yes.

78
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,120
7156.

79
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,120
On the branch.

80
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,120
The green board pick up.

81
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,120
North Dakota.

82
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,120
111.

83
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,120
865.

84
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,120
111.

85
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,120
865.

86
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,120
Okay.

87
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,120
Mr. Bribble, as soon as he comes in, I'll have him on my line.

88
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,120
You okay?

89
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,120
Thank you very much.

90
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,120
Bye-bye.

91
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,120
U.S.

92
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,120
O'Reporting Center.

93
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,120
Good evening.

94
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,120
Yes, this is House of Public Patrol.

95
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,120
Oh, yes, sir.

96
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,120
I'm going to go over there.

97
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,120
Right.

98
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,120
It's supposed to return your calls.

99
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,120
Is this Mr. Bribble?

100
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,120
Yes, sir.

101
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,120
Okay.

102
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,120
Okay, we're interested in what happened down there tonight.

103
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,120
Well, I'll let you know what I have so far.

104
00:03:53,120 --> 00:04:04,120
I got a citizens ban report from several truck drivers, and I was talking with one specifically.

105
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,120
And this incident occurred.

106
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:11,120
I haven't been able to pinpoint it exactly in the general area.

107
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:21,120
But supposedly several truck drivers going both east and west, deserve a bright light

108
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:28,120
hovering above the freeway, approximately, oh, maybe I told me about 500 feet.

109
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,120
Okay.

110
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:38,120
And this bright light was stationary for, oh, approximately 10 to 15 seconds.

111
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:45,120
And then it took off horizontally toward the mountain range, ascended above the mountain

112
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,120
range, and then exploded.

113
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:58,120
Now, the gentleman told me he's been in the military, familiar with Flair's aircraft,

114
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,120
helicopters, and things of that nature.

115
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,120
He says it was nothing like that.

116
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,120
He couldn't see the object because of the intensity of the light.

117
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,120
But he didn't know what it was.

118
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:16,120
And when I got the call, I had just come back from lunch, or just come on the air from lunch,

119
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,120
and he was hollering like a banger to some base station here in Winamucka.

120
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:26,120
And by the time I could get in, he had already gone through town, and I talked to him as

121
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,120
long as I could, and was relaying from the base station back and forth.

122
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,120
And of course, I went right out to the area and was talking to other people all the way

123
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:40,120
out to witness the, some of them had witnessed the aircraft or whatever it was going toward

124
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,120
the mountain, and then explosions.

125
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:48,120
Some of them did witness just the explosion itself.

126
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:53,120
Did this man give any estimate as to the altitude that this thing was flying right off of the highway?

127
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:58,120
It's approximately 500 feet.

128
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,120
Okay.

129
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,120
Now, I've contacted Fallon Nagle Air Station in Nevada here.

130
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:12,120
They've reported no aircraft in the area, no aircraft overdue, and we contacted Mountain Home Air Force Base.

131
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:18,120
They have a flight pattern which crosses the area where this sighting was,

132
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:24,120
and they have low flying aircraft in this area at all times, both day and night.

133
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:29,120
And they reported no overdue aircraft at all.

134
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,120
Okay.

135
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,120
Did you get the names of any witnesses?

136
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,120
I've got two witness statements here.

137
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:39,120
I've got a witness statement from a truck driver who just witnessed the flash.

138
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,120
Now, I jotted it down for him.

139
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,120
He signed it.

140
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,120
I'll read you what he says here.

141
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,120
Okay.

142
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:52,120
Uh, an 113076 at approximately 650 p.m.

143
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,120
Oh, excuse me.

144
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,120
I got the wrong statement there.

145
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:57,120
Okay.

146
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,120
Here we go.

147
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:03,120
An 093076 at approximately 7 o'clock p.m.

148
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,120
I was eastbound out of Love Lock, Nevada.

149
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:11,120
Approximately one mile south to southeast of Star Peak.

150
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:16,120
Observed the bright flashes light that led up the whole top of the mountain.

151
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:21,120
The first flash was followed by two more flashes of the same intensity,

152
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,120
as soon as I was in radio range and contacted Highway Patrol.

153
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,120
Now, he said they weren't three separate flashes.

154
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,120
It was like one big giant flash.

155
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,120
It kind of died down, and then two more.

156
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:39,120
I also obtained a statement from a resident here and went about it,

157
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:44,120
who said at approximately 650 p.m.,

158
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:49,120
a low-flying jet aircraft passed close to his home here in Winamucka,

159
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:56,120
when his direction of travel would have taken him close to this UFO sighting,

160
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,120
if that's of any help.

161
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,120
Uh-huh.

162
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,120
Okay.

163
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:05,120
Now, the driver that did witness this UFO hovering over the freeway

164
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,120
was actually taken off and exploding.

165
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,120
I got a company he worked for in a CB handle.

166
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:16,120
He advised me and the Winamucka base station that was relaying for us

167
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,120
that he would be back through Winamucka sometime next week.

168
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,120
He would contact this office and give a complete statement.

169
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,120
Okay, beautiful.

170
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,120
Now, is there any chance of us getting hold of a copy of those statements?

171
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,120
Yes, I'll have them here at the office.

172
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:39,120
I can mail them to you or however you'd like.

173
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,120
Now, the one question I'd like to ask you is,

174
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,120
anyone going to come down and check this out,

175
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,120
or what, since the military won't know when to attend a missing aircraft?

176
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:53,120
The Sheriff's Office in Lovelock is supposedly going to mount a search in the morning

177
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,120
and check for an aircraft, probably an aerial search, I presume,

178
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,120
because it's a pretty rugged mountain there.

179
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,120
Well, right now, of course, as far as inspection or investigation is concerned,

180
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,120
we're kind of up in the air until we find out if anything actually hit the mountain.

181
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:09,120
Uh-huh.

182
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:15,120
And of course, we would have to wait to see what the other agencies picked up on that.

183
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:22,120
Well, what I might suggest is, tomorrow afternoon you contact the Persian County Sheriff's Office

184
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,120
in Lovelock, Nevada.

185
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,120
They might be able to finish you with some results there, or whatever.

186
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,120
They're going to handle that then.

187
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,120
Yeah, according to the deputy I talked to down there, they would probably be going down,

188
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,120
or I don't know for sure, you might double check.

189
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,120
There are these small agencies, they're notorious for shelving things.

190
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,120
Right.

191
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,120
Okay.

192
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:44,120
Well.

193
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,120
We sure appreciate this information.

194
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,120
Okay.

195
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:52,120
And, uh, if we can come up with anything regarding this identification,

196
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,120
why, we'll get back to you and let you know.

197
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:55,120
Okay, sure.

198
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,120
But we sure thank you for the cooperation.

199
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,120
Okay.

200
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,120
And, uh, I'll get these two statements I have mailed out to you right away.

201
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,120
And when I'm in contact with the other gentleman, I'll change his statement and I'll mail that out to you.

202
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,120
Thank you very much.

203
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,120
Okay.

204
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,120
All right, have a good evening.

205
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,120
See you back.

206
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,120
Bye.
