RONAN, MONTANA - UFO reported by several hundred witnesses and
two local papers over the Mission Valley in western Montana. The
sightings began 10-16-1998 and have continued at various
intervals and various durations since, up to this report filing
of 10-31-1998. They have occurred somewhere between the hours of
2AM and 5AM on non pattern evenings.

The UFO is roughly located above the immense Mission Mountain
Range hovering in place at approximately 20,000 feet above sea
level and 9,000 feet above the top of the Mission Range. It is
reported, as of this writing, by more than 500 witnesses
including professional, police personnel who have gone on
record, night shift workers, travelers, and locals as well as
others in witnessing these unknown-origin craft.

The UFO is reported to be quite large with one continuous red
light, a flickering (not blinking) green light and a flickering
blue glow that appears under the craft. Outline and shape has
been undetermined at this time for the UFO.

The primary locale for observation of the craft has been in and
around areas of Polson Montana, a town of 6000 that is located
10 miles north of the town of Ronan. At Ronan a large
manufacturing facility is located 2 miles south of the town off
highway 93 which runs north and south as does the Mission Range
itself and the valley that lays below to the west of the range.
At this manufacturing facility many of the night shift have been
observing the UFO in the same location and time for the last
week or more.

Scott Johnson, night shift foreman for the manufacturing
company, has brought his entire night shift outside on the east
side of the facility to observe the craft during breaks on
various evenings.

Mr. Johnson has stated when interviewed, "this is not a vehicle
of known origin. Its behavior, its ability to hover as it does,
its soundless in that it is strictly visual, all make for
something that is not natural by our standards of known air
vehicles."

On the latest night of observation, 10-30-1998, there were two
of the UFOs roughly at the same altitude but approximately 9
miles apart. No one has seen the vehicles appear or have noted
when they leave. They are just there when they are noticed and
after several hours they are gone.

Conditions in the area have been cloudless, clear, and cold
temperatures. There has been no other air craft in the area at
the time of the UFOs presence over the entire 700 square mile
area of the Mission Valley where the observations have been
reported from.

The only contingent element is the fact Malstrom Air Force Base
is exactly due east of the sighting location for the UFOs at 200
miles.

A further report excerpted from the two local papers that have
covered the sightings in depth as well as further observations
of the UFOs as they appear in upcoming nights will be posted and
filed here accordingly.

Dear Mr. Stephens:

In the email passed around on the UFONetwork it doesn't mention
the name of the company that the ufos are seen at. Nor does it
mention the newspapers that picked up the story. Can you please
fill in some informational gaps in the story. I'm wondering why
the major media hasn't jumped on this considering the magnitude
of the sightings; lengthwise and all?

Sincerely;
Mike Beaver yoda@band1.bandwidth.net

I'm not a UFO buff, per se. Just reported what others had
reported to me and asked if I would compile a story of the event
on the net. In interviewing for this story the manufacturing
company did not want its name used. The employees at the same
company and law enforcement personnel had no problem going on
record.

As of last night, the UFO was back, the 14 night out of the lat
17 since the event first occured, further south, and 4000' feet
lower. Tonight cloud cover is 70%, thus we were going to try and
scope it and get some data on the thing.
(To) No Avail.

The Newspaper in question is the: 'Lake County Leader'
406-883-4343 (Polson Montana) Lake County Sheriffs Office
406-883-7279 (Polson Montana) As far as the media outside of
Montana its the same as its ever been I suppose. Government
believes and hides--public dumb. I don't know why.

Dear Bob:

Please check out our web site under Aerospace to find out why
the red, green & blue. These are undobtedly our crafts. Please
note we saw the crafts on more than one occaision. Once at a
distance of ten feet away in on Oct. 18, 1981. We reported it to
FBI in 1986 after finding out that the US government does not
have this technology. We now have official patent and are ready
to build. I would like to hear from you. Thanks,

For 11 of the 16 nights hence the first sighting at 1:23 AM,
10-16-1998, there have been numerous air vehicles attempt to
intercept the bogeys after they have appeared and stayed in one
locale. The interception attempts have failed by those of local
magistrate who have taken this to task. Malstrom Air Force Base
pilots have attmepted to intercept said bogeys after they are in
place. They too have been unsuccessful in that the bogeys seem
to 'phase' away into nothing when any of the nine F-16s that
have been deployed have come close to them. I find this
inexplicable, but then so do many others I have contacted. I am
trying to get infrared gun camera footage of this phenomenon at
this time through various long time NASA/Malstrom contacts

I received two emails in response from this report among several
hundred, that, these were our craft. Having spent a great deal
of time at Dryden Air Force Station at Edwards Air Force Base in
CA and with NASA at KSC over the last 19 years I can attest
these unknowns are not of our technical ablility at this time.
Unless evidence to the contrary can be produced this conclusion
must still stand.

What is the address of your website [URL]? Could not find
anything in relation to your insinuation above. Am most
interested. Also, please clarify the 'we' part of your mail.
Thanks.

Hello,

In reference to your "Stunning Ronan, Montana UFOs Said To Have
Eluded Multiple F-16 Intercepts", an interesting thought
occurred and I thought to pass it along. Could this craft simply
be a "Holographic Image"? It has all the earmarks of a possible
military test of a new high power image projector. Please look
at these statements carefully - Quoting your article:

1.) " The UFO is reported to be quite large with one continuous
red light, a flickering (not blinking) green light and a
flickering blue glow that appears under the craft."

2.) "Mr. Johnson has stated when interviewed, "this is not a
vehicle of known origin. Its behavior, its ability to hover as
it does, its soundless in that it is strictly visual, all make
for something that is not natural by our standards of known air
vehicles.""

3.) "No one has seen the vehicles appear or have noted when they
leave. They are just there when they are noticed and after
several hours they are gone."

4.) "They too have been unsuccessful in that the bogeys seem to
'phase' away into nothing when any of the nine F-16s that have
been deployed have come close to them."

Three primary color light emanations are clearly evident (Red,
Blue & Green). These same three colors are used in all image
reproduction equipment such as TV's, digital movie projectors
and very high tech holographic projectors. To the eye a
modulated light beam would appear to flicker, not strobe or
flash but described precisely and accurately as "flickering".

It's very curious to note that this craft (image?) never
appeared to move, ever! Not vertically or laterally, it simply
appeared or disappeared (phased?) like the activation or
deactivation of a projector? Absolutely no noise came from this
supposed craft, described as "strictly visual"! Then when
approached this image simply "phases away".

All these statements would tend to make one think that nothing
physical was actually there in Montana, just light! It is common
knowledge that government contractors developing, God knows
what, requires proper testing to certify operability of their
equipment for sale to our Government. I believe that a new ultra
high tech holographic projector was being operationally
demonstrated and a UFO image was used as cover.

What precisely is being manufactured at this company? You know,
the one that wishes to not be named.

Thank you again, William MacIntosh
