MILITARY PARATROOPER SEES MULTIPLE UFOS IN ABINGDON, VA
By Pat Regan
The Abingdon UFO Event
Dennis J. Wisnosky Jr, a former paratrooper, contacted me this autumn with an intriguing UFO account that he informs me has been briefly highlighted elsewhere.
Regardless of his military background, Dennis courageously granted me full permission to use his real name, photo, etc in an effort to bring more attention to the situation at hand.
In order to fully understand the situation Dennis wished to go back a little way to explain the background behind his amazing account.
As a child, Dennis grew up on a great number of military installations as his father was in the Air Force serving as a security police officer.
“We had been stationed at several installations to include the base that I was born at Ft. Wainwright in Alaska, Minot, N.D., MacDill A.F.B., FL, Wurtsmith A.F.B., MI and Anderson A.F.B., Guam. Throughout those travels and bases, I had seen a great many aircraft, never thinking too much on the circumstances. Although most no longer experienced air raid drills, they were still a common practice at these places, as most of these bases were top targets in the instance of nuclear attack. They housed the B- 52's, ALCM (Air Launch Cruise Missile), KC- 135's, AWACS and various others like the B-1B's while others stopped in occasionally, and some were TAC (Tactical Air Command) like MacDill, which had the standard strike and fighters of the day, the F-15 and 16's, A- 10's and other whatnots in the A.F. arsenal.” explained the witness.
Dennis had a rather strict upbringing. His father, in his later years, was high ranking enlisted security at these bases and then left security due to the stress for the Civil Engineers. When his father retired Dennis returned to FL in St. Petersburg where he finished his last two years in high school. After noticing the public abuse his father suffered after returning from Vietnam, Dennis initially promised his dad he wouldn't join the military. However, he was his father’s son and felt obliged to join up.
Dennis originally had planned on being a jet jockey, applying for the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs in the beginning of his junior year in FL. Dennis informed me.
“Low and behold it wasn't meant to be, they requested that I do another two years of HS as I went my first two in Guam (in spite of the fact that it is a DOD funded school). Go figure. That just wasn't going to work. To say the least, I wanted to get the he** away from home, be my own man, that whole bit, so I said I was going to join whomever called first. Turned out to be mother green, and off to take the ASVAB I went. Seeing "Platoon" and "Full Metal Jacket", I was set on the SUCK, the Infantry. Due to testing scores, the Army wanted me to do Apache Avionics. (Hind sight is always 20/20) But, nope....gimme the suck. Between the testing and everything else, I found out about jumping out of planes, can’t fly them, I can fly a chute, close enough for me! I had no idea of the direction it would lead.”
From this point on, I shall let Dennis progress the tale in his own inimitable way. This will hopefully transmit the basic militaristic flavour of the situation better than I could…
