A 1957 SIGHTING THAT READS LIKE A SCIENCE FICTION ADVENTURE
By Doc Vega
The year is 1957. There have already been succession of UFO flaps that have been occurring through-out the US since 1947. The Korean War has finally ended and war nerves are thankfully over by now. Captain Edward Ruppelt has long ago asked for reassignment and left the US Air Force after his tenure as Director of Project Blue Book, and Air Force investigations have once again descended into the depths of denial and repudiation. Although the United States is now in an unprecedented era of post war prosperity that will last for another few years to come.
The prevailing atmosphere of an era
American industry has reasserted itself as an undeniable economic power in the world and Americans are enjoying better salaries and more time for leisure. The classic chromed American cars of Detroit adorn the highways. A new generation of American sports cars are now fueling profitable sales in Ford and Chevrolet showrooms. Car buyers now drive the Thunderbird and Corvette Stingray to take their dates out in. Young kids are enjoying the Mickey Mouse club or Romper Room on the new TV sets their fathers have been able to afford as their stay at home mothers keep the house in order and the laundry fresh.
As a cold war goes on uneventfully between the US and the Soviet Union and President Dwight Eisenhower keeps America on a steady course, all things are not as they seem. As high school kids enjoy malts and hamburgers at the numerous soda shops that line the main streets of America, something unknown lingers menacingly in the skies. Something just beyond the spectrum of generally accepted knowledge lurks on the edge of town and at the twilight of man’s science and dreams. It is a mystery that stubbornly continues to raise its unwelcome head above the distant horizon of fiction and fact, and it simply will not go away.
Widespread bedlam
From the dusty deserts of west Texas in Levelland to the air space over Carswell, AFB in Ft. Worth, Texas UFO’s were being tracked by radar, sensitive reconnaissance aircraft such as the RB-47, and sheriff’s departments across the southwest. As relative normality seeming to settle over America economically and in terms of world conflict that US armed forces were not compelled to engage in, the strange and unusual were moving in from the skies overhead particularly at night. As the news media documented UFO reports with small newspaper articles relegated to the back pages of most publications, an undeniable concentration of worldwide flying saucer activity was in a definite increase in at least three continents and 2 different hemispheres.
As the US armed forces deal with UFO activity over the continental US other regions on the globe are in a frantic contest with the weird and threatening presence of unknown aerial activity in South America. October 15, 1957 Antonio Villas Boas of Brazil became the first reported human abductee aboard a UFO having had a sexual encounter with a humanoid entity induced by a type of transdermal ointment that aliens applied to his arm. In Britain on May 20, 1957 Lieutenant Milton Torres flying out of Manston Royal Air Force Base was ordered to intercept a UFO in his F-86D. It seems in the absence of war or economic strife that flying saucers were making an effort to create their own kind of turmoil.
However, in all of this most of the sleepy rural communities of the US remained the ideal environment for many kids to grow up in and enjoy the virtues of the creeks and woods that gave them such memorable playgrounds that would mark some of the last vestiges of a changing world that would give American children less and less of such blissful recreation. In years to come the infringement of electronic entertainment would over shadow the joys of this kind of upbringing, but for now the unknown was at work.
Setting for a mystery
Near Yonkers, New York a child of 1957 could still find that idealic childhood that made growing up with nature a very wholesome and positive experience to enrich the future of a growing adult who would always have such memories to look back on through the course of their lives. Yet, on one strange unsettling evening something that seemed more like a science fiction movie than everyday life ocurred. As though the perfect backdrop for a film crew had just been set up for a bizarre episode from a B movie with robots and creatures from another planet Yonkers had become a stage for something just as unreal and just as disturbing.
The cloak of darkness had just set in upon a neighborhood nestled against a lush field of green and dense woods that formed the landscape for an inexplicable incident that would make an indelible impression in the minds of all involved. As a young man gazed outside his window he watched an intensely bright object like a shooting star descend from the starry sky, and apparently land just behind a hill behind his parent’s house. Having not gotten ready for bed yet on that early evening, the kid ran out of his room excitedly telling his mother that he had seen something come down behind the backyar. Before his mother could find out more the front door had already slammed shut as he ran into the cool night and wondered just exactly where the shooting star had come down.
