A UFO Military Alert was activated at Edwards Air Force Base in California on the night of October 7, 1965. Other Air Force bases in California were also involved: NORTON, GEORGE, HAMILTON and MARCH plus NORAD and THE WESTERN AIR DEFENSE COMMAND.

During this event, F-106 Interceptors were sent up to intercept 12 luminous UFOBs (Air Force Classification), which were high tech solid craft, under apparent intelligent control, which easily outdistanced the F-106s at 40,000 foot altitude.

The objects were no known craft to the military personnel at Edwards, where astronauts are trained and exotic classified military test aircraft fly. The people there were well aware of government projects and the known technology of the time.

Major Struble from an outfit known as LAADS (Los Angeles Air Defense Sector), a division of ARADCOM (Army Air Defense Command) authorized the making of Recordings of voice transmissions made by military personnel to and from Edwards Air Force Base- from BASE TO BASE COMMUNICATIONS, PHONE PATCHES, GROUND TO AIR RADIO and TOWER TO AIR RADIO. These recordings archived the conversations which documented this event of UFO visitation of a highly secure military base. The audio recordings were made on an extra track of large reels of Radar Visual Tapes, which were running all the time in the case of an accident and the need to review the radar tracks.
