Date: February 21 1963
Location: Cape May Court House, NJ
Time: 2130 Duration: 3 to 4 min.
Summary: This event happened during the height of the worst NorthEaster the Jersey Cape had in my lifetime. It may have been 1962, but I reported above 63. I’m not sure, I am sure it is a matter of record, I can’t recall the exact day either. Myself and two highschool buddies were cutting thru backyards in my neighborhood. The clouds were very low to the ground and the winds were at gale force. Three extremely bright lights stopped over head and hovered. That is to say, they never stopped moving, but they didn’t change direction (up, down, forward, back) for several min. They continued moving in a pattern that could best be likened to someone braiding rope. It could NOT have been rotating spotlights on a helicopter, I don’t know how you would get lights to rotate in that fashion. The movement was also unaffected by the gale force winds. Except for the unusual pattern there was no other movement. >There was also no other sound than the wind blowing thru the trees. These lights could not have been more than 300 feet off the ground. Because of the intensity of the lights, you could not see any other details. >This event scared me so much, I remember it like it was yesterday. I’ve lost track of the other two individuals involved, but the unusual thing is: neither of these two individuals could remember it the next time we saw each other. I thought that was odd at the time, but didn’t give it any more thought until years later. My interest in Coast to Coast has has made aware of what may have happened. I might also add, I’ve noticed street lights go out around me all the time. I started noticing this as far back as the early eighties, and have been telling my close friends about for years.

Date: Feb. 28 (?), 1963
Location: Arctic Ocean
Time: 3:15 a.m.
Summary: It involved the contingent of the Royal Navy’s North Atlantic Fleet which had been participating in exercises off Norway for about three days. Briefly, the incident occurred at 3:15 AM somewhere in the Arctic Ocean, between Spitzbergen’s Island and Norway (30-50 miles off the Norway coast). The object was tracked on the ship’s radar at 35,000′ and then by sonar after it entered the water and was tracked at 50′ below the surface and continued into deep water at a range of 20,000 yards. The radar signature indicated it was 100′ to 120′ in diameter. Object was also tracked by other ships and the order was issued for the fleet to execute an evasive “Z” pattern maneuver. Jets were scrambled. The duration was at least 15-20 minutes and the incident included maneuvering. No visuals were made. .
