INCIDENT: On March 12, 1965, James Flynn of East Fort Myers, Florida, an interested woodsman, headed mighty in the field of the Everglades amongst his four hunting dogs. He had slow to lay out uncommon time show. On the night of the 14th his hunting dogs took after a deer. Then, acoustic a nice such as a gunshot, Flynn started up his bog baby carriage and headed off in search of his dogs. One of his dogs had returned, which he had located in its round up, and it accompanied him on his search for the others.
Encircling 1 a.m., on Monday, March 15th, Flynn spotted whatever thing unusual that he judged to be dimly over a mile ready. Doesn't matter what it was, it was suspended, formed such as a ample, upside-down cone, an tough 200 feet in the air chief some cypress leaves. What time a such as it began flying off on the way to the Northeast. What time some 2 to 3 minutes, it returned to the exact handle, and hovered once more, this time for an tough 5 minutes. Subsequently it took off on the way to the Southwest at a high rate of speed. Exactly, save for, it returned to the exact arrangement once more. At this belief, Flynn was solitary about a area of a mile ready, and the object seemed to use down among some leaves in the field of a model growth. Flynn figured, up to this belief, that he was observing a helicopter of some identifying mark, but subsequently he began to investigation it outspoken a combine of binoculars and he realized that he wasn't looking at a helicopter at all. Subsequently he began to disbelief that it was some secret craft from Headland Canaveral.
Flynn described the object as some 25 feet high, and bend in two that in its diameter. Up close by the top were four tiers of two-foot-square playing field window-looking sections that emitted a yellowish burn. The thing was lippy, and seemed to be ended of four-by-four porcelain that appeared to be theoretical together amongst rivets. Encircling the base show was an orange-red untroubled that seemed to cast a burn on the ground some 75 feet brusquely its rim.
One day last he regains carrying out. Intelligence himself initially roof he lays show for a ache such as until he recovers a model hoard of vision in his spent eye. By this time, the sun is lively and its Tuesday emergence. Flynn gathers up his dogs and makes his way to the den of Henry Osceola, a Seminole Indian who lived show in the Everglades bog.
It isn't until lunchtime Wednesday that Flynn takings den. He and his spouse go up front to pay a understand to ophthalmologist, Paul R. Brown. Dr. Brown finds Flynn's vision 20/800 in his confirmed eye, 20/60 in his spent eye. He commentary a thin grind over his confirmed pinnacle. The spent eye appeared normal, but in the confirmed eye he could not see the retina.
Flynn complained of acoustic respite and numbness in his arms and hands biased the encounter. Knocked out kind sight and operate by Dr. Harvie J. Stipe, a general practitioner who had particular Flynn for 25 sparkle, Flynn was treated, and soon populace symptoms consumed. On March 26, Flynn, Dr. Stipe, and two others, returned to the encounter site in the Everglades, and show found a burned circle some 72 feet agilely. The circle looked such as it had been swept bathe of trees, undergrowth, limbs -- normal forest waste. Eight cypress leaves were desiccated from their tops down to about middle from the ground.
In October 1966, in a e-mail audition amongst Arizona physicist James E. McDonald, Flynn fixed that the UFO was maybe, he figured, some secret aircraft of ours, and that if he could perpetually show it subsequently a big cheese would pay for the decorous eye he used to gorge.
In July 1996, Flynn ended a uncooked conventional din in at Wharf Charlotte, Florida, somewhere he stated: "I'm waiting for the day any person turns up the truth about this thing. I depend on I live that ache." - "The UFO Fact list, The Feature from the Create, Mass 1" - Jerome Clark - 1998"
On the night of March 15, 1965, James W. Flynn was camping in the Everglades after task some hunting dogs. Gruffly after midnight, Flynn saw a acutely lit object downstairs available a mile ready. Flynn meant it was a helicopter until he looked at it outspoken binoculars. Stand it may be some formula of a plane in impenetrability, or some new workings from Headland Kennedy' he herd his bog baby carriage towards the light, such as it was discernible outspoken the leaves. Almost a area of a mile ready, he got out and headed towards the light on foot.
As he neared the object, Flynn saw the craft was not a plane, but a good, cone-shaped vending machine suspended a few feet chief the ground. The craft was about 75 feet in diameter at the base and 25-30 feet high. Four rows of ports of windows were discernible, amongst golden-haired light lively outspoken them. Flynn heard a whirring such as 'a diesel generator,' which irregular one of his dogs 'who was sobbing in his round up and violent to get unconfined, but could notice no gear or occupants.
What time uncommon minutes, Flynn approached the craft, Incoming 200 yards of the UFO, jumped out of his bog baby carriage, stepping in the field of the circle of light and raising his hand as a obliging perfunctory in case he was being watched. As he did this, the UFO emitted a jet-like hubbub and a setting off of weave that knocked him off-balance. As he continued to road inside a few yards, the UFO emitted a light down such as a welder's torch, pleasing him on the crest and knocking him mandatory. Then he told the outmoded periodical "I felt a cuff such as a sledgehammer connecting the eyes, and that's all I let know."
In the role of he came to hours last, he found himself one-sidedly blinded, and a ache grind was spent on his crest somewhere the light down had struck. The craft was off course, but show was a charred around area somewhere it had hovered, and the tops of shut down leaves had been burned.
Flynn hunted aid from an Indian assistant who helped him bring about to Fort Myers. He compelled medical operate and had a model shady spot on his crest. In complement to the ache grind on his crest and the kill on his vision, doctors partnership Flynn else had an destruction of mighty muscles and ligament reflexes, numbness and charge of acoustic.
Participating in the five time at the same time as Flynn was in the infirmary, intelligence officers, under the advice of Popular O'Keefe, phoned him from shut down Fruit farm AFB. What time obtaining a pitch report, they perceptive him they would audition him once more at the same time as he was released from the infirmary.
Flynn's doctor found destruction of muscles and ligament reflexes which he invented could not gorge been faked, and the NICAP investigation widespread that the elucidation of the prove was supported by the definite evidence: entire definite shoot evidence was found at the site, through a around area of scalded sawgrass 72 feet in diameter somewhere the object has been suspended, and burns of the shut down leaves.
Regrettably Flynn's encounter came at a time of limit misfortune for the Air Brusqueness, indeed popular a fundamental flounder in the area, and they were put-on their best to frisk down the sighting. Attempts were ended to shame Flynn which backfired at the same time as abundant give somebody the lowdown folks, legalize officers and doctors vouched for him. The Air Force's idea that Flynn may gorge hoaxed the encounter ignored the exotic ground and tree traces and his own definite impairments which his doctor invented "could not gorge been faked".
In the end the Air Brusqueness permanent for the to some extent inept send the bill to that, at the same time as questioned, they had no one on their files linking the Flynn incident. - "UFOs at Go up to Detect" - Patrick Remuneration / Fort Myers, Florida News-Press - March 18, 1965"
Joan Woodward: Animal Answer back Characteristic - NICAP Covering Key
James Flynn, a rancher of East Fort Myers, Florida, walked in the field of the office of ophthalmologist Dr. Paul Brown in Fort Myers, on Wednesday, March 17, 1965, and asked to be treated. The area brusquely his eyes was red and enlarged and he was just about roof. His confirmed eye looked such as a singular granite. What time acoustic his story, Dr. Brown notified Mrs. Flynn, who came and took her partner to Lee Headstone Medical wing, somewhere he remained for five time.
The story told by Flynn is mock, but so were his wounds. The biased is reconstructed from conversations and epistle connecting the Mast Phenomena Investigate Loft (APRO), Dr. Harvey Specialization, Flynn's specific general practitioner, and Flynn himself.
On Friday, March 12, Flynn took his bog baby carriage, camping luggage, and four dogs, and set out for the Everglades, about eighteen miles east of the Big Cypress Indian Doubts. On Sunday night, the dogs jumped a deer and ran off. Flynn whistled and called until about midnight, subsequently started his bog baby carriage and headed in the contract in which he last saw them deed.
An hour last, at about 1 A.M. (Monday), Flynn spotted a amazing light in the sky chief the cypress leaves about a mile ready. It moved from east to west and bring about to its salubrious perspective four time. The object subsequently permanent to the ground and appeared to dodder at an flatten of four feet. Flynn herd nearer, got out his binoculars, turned out the light on his bog baby carriage, and watched it amongst the spectacles. It was an unusual object of connecting thirty and thirty-two feet tall and bend in two as big agilely the baffle (in diameter) as it was high. Eight feet from the top was a row of windows, beneath which were three better rows of the exact size-about two feet by two feet. Encircling the windows was a black extent, conceivably two inches yawning. From the baffle of the least amount row of windows to the baffle of the ship was a alienate of about twelve feet. Flynn judged the portliness by comparing the object amongst the roundabouts cypress leaves, which were about twenty-five feet tall. It was cone-shaped, salt away the top was not peaked but direct.
The great object appeared to be lippy and comprised of pieces of count four feet by four feet and theoretical together amongst rivets. The windows gave off a blank golden-haired light, and the area under the object was lighted by an orangish-red burn. He watched the object for thirty to forty minutes amongst his binoculars.
Flynn was by this time about a area mile from the object and deep to seek further, so he cranked up his baby carriage and approached it. He got inside a few yards of the mountain of the light and inoperative, switching off his baby carriage lamp once more. The dog he had on the baby carriage in a round up was so knock over it had begun violent to graze out of its round up.
Flynn walked to the mountain of the lighted area, raised his arm and waved. He got no feedback, and after waiting an tough one unfinished minuscule, he walked about six feet in the field of the lighted area, raised his arm, and waved once more.
Hotheadedly a "short-tempered down" of light erupted from without prejudice under the baffle of the windows and struck Flynn on the crest. He lost carrying out.
He awoke in the infantile hours of Tuesday, after twenty-four hours of unconsciousness; period he did not let know at the time that he had been mandatory for such a ache period. He was lying on the ground bring down his baby carriage, and the dog on the baby carriage had just about shabby his round up faint. Flynn looked brusquely the area, found a solely symmetrical circle of burned ground cover somewhere the object had hovered. Assorted cypresses on the defiant side of the circle were burned at the tops. He else found text in the sphere of his baby carriage mobile that he had crawled brusquely otherwise he regained carrying out, period he had no recall of heaving.
Inappropriate from his ache period weak spot feed, Flynn herd his baby carriage bring about to his campsite about two miles ready, suitable for eating bacon and initiate, and ate them. He subsequently herd to the den of a Seminole Indian group together, Henry Billy, on the Mistrust. The departure was dense as he had solitary one-sided inexact sight in his spent eye and was roof in his confirmed eye.
Billy existing to notice him bring about to Fort Myers, but, amongst one-sided sight, Flynn felt he could urge the manipulate stumped and inside show at 4 P.M., Wednesday. He went to Brown's office and it was show that he scholarly that he want gorge been mandatory for twenty-four hours slightly of without prejudice a few minutes or hours; he had lost a great day.
The first forethought in this case is, of course, the makeup of the look into, and James Flynn's confirmation was decorous. He was not a expenditure man. He was a rancher who enjoyed hunting in the wilds of Florida's Everglades. This manipulate was not his first. He had not, prior to his try, been questioning in "Flying Best china."
APRO requested from Dr. Specialization his reasoning of Flynn, and what follows is the marks of his letter to APRO, primeval April 28, 1965:
"I gorge particular Mr. Flynn for 25 sparkle and gorge always calculated him a devoted, intensely relentless living being.
"I else accompanied him to the site of his sight of the flying object. I gorge ended a few pictures of the burned area, which is not concluding of doesn't matter what but a emerald exaggerate and desiccated treetops in a classic circle close by the area mottled by Mr. Flynn as site of the suspended object. Dowry were else emerald hold text on two leaves 12 or 15 feet faint in the area foot the burned circle of leaves. The text were as if a fat object in a found line had slid down the leaves about 2 feet and show inoperative. Dowry was no scratch mark of any formula on the quiet shrunken sticky situation foot. No animal, human, or sedan tracks of any formula. I could not elucidation for populace hold text." Favorably Very Yours, (Signed) H. J. Specialization, M.D.
DR. STRIPE'S Health check Click READS AS FOLLOWS:
"I was asked to see Mr. Flynn about 48 hours after he was admitted to Lee Headstone Medical wing by an opthalmologist, for an disfigurement to his confirmed eye. The eye official was hemorraging in the field of the fore secret place of the eye, seemingly worrying.
"Mr. Flynn gave a history of being hit by whatever thing such as a glamor of light such as draw up to an unidentified flying object suspended without prejudice chief the ground.
"I am sure you are au fait amongst the elucidation of his sight of his unidentified flying object. In the role of I first examined Mr. Flynn, he had every one eyes submersed by bandages and I was not able to notice his eyes or crest. He was alert and group home. The definite ordeal showed a well-muscled, well-nourished male. The phantom and lungs were normal. The abdomen was normal. The solitary deviant upshot were neurological. No paralysis was noted, but the mighty ligament reflexes of biceps, triceps, patellas, and achilles were obtainable. Plantars and abdominal were obtainable, but cremasterics were present.
"Mr. Flynn was observed assiduously for uncommon weeks. His reflexes a little at a time returned over a five-day to one-week period, but returned rarely. The crest was finally examined and vacant a thickened area without prejudice chief and medial to the confirmed eye; in the center of this area was a depressed, dimly abraded spot about 1 centimeter in diameter. Favorably model hoard of haematoma was noted agilely confirmed summit eye-lid. Dowry was never any emotional perplexity or evidence of Sight.
"Almost the fourth day in the infirmary, Mr. Flynn complained of acoustic respite and numbness in arms and hands. This cleared in about 24 hours.
"In the role of last seen about 16 April 1965, available 4 weeks after the disfigurement, Mr. Flynn was once more checkered. The abdominal reflexes were not present, but all others were normal. The depressed area over the confirmed eye was nonetheless present and superior. He nonetheless has a soil vision of the confirmed eye. No other deviant definite or neurological upshot were noted."
The amazing burned area, the desiccated tops of 25-foot cypress leaves, the scrape text 4 feet off the ground, all grasp Flynn's elucidation. - "The Fact list of UFOs" - 1980"
Glowing UFO LANDS IN FLORIDA Multitude
On the night of March 14, 1965, James W. Flynn, who is a rancher and hunting dog trainer, was camped out for the night in the Everglades. Moral as he was settling down for the night, his dogs became restive and knock over. He looked brusquely expecting troupe, but slightly he sighted a crafty light too quietly to be heard and methodically downstairs about a mile ready.
Stand that conceivably an flat had gotten in the field of impenetrability and off course down, he program his bog baby carriage for the be conveyed and set out to turn out aid if popular. He was guided direct to the spot by the burn which continued unabated. This dreadful Flynn as he time-honored to get a boiling plane and maybe injuries or victims. He found neither.
In the role of about a area mile ready, he grounded his bog baby carriage and continued on foot. Exactly he found himself in a good completion and he wasn't stumped. One twenty yards ready he saw a around, cone-shaped object amongst a vivid burn. It hovered without prejudice chief the ground amongst a dimly clear wobbling steadfastness. He detected, after a bit of investigation, a nice he could solitary attraction as a hum. He tough the portliness at well over seventy-five feet in diameter and twenty-five to thirty feet tough. Dowry were four rows of ports or windows set the craft, both emitting a golden-haired light several the color of the craft's foul burn. A severance up front bring down the windows old hat him from seeing any habitat details or occupants.
For abundant minutes Flynn without prejudice stood show, speechless. He had heard of such bits and pieces, but, until now, had never inevitable lovesick them somberly. Overactive invention, he'd meant. But this was not invention. It was real.
Catch your eye overcame fearfulness. He started to road the craft to get a leader roll up. He never ended it. A pencil thin blue light shot out from "wherever" on the craft drumming Flynn on the crest "confirmed connecting the eyes." He was mandatory otherwise he hit the ground.
In the role of he regained carrying out, he was one-sidedly roof, slow, had a gigantic headache and a good, tender grind on his crest. The craft was off course. In some way he got his bog baby carriage departure and got to his hometown of Ft. Meyers, Florida. He was quick to a infirmary for ordeal and operate.
What time he told his story, investigators went bring about to the spot. They found a good around spot in the completion somewhere the ground and grass were charred. The tops of some shut down leaves were harshly burned. The swimming suit and limbs of some of the leaves were scarred.
The Air Brusqueness, at that time, as a rule debunked and belittled UFO sightings and the people who reported them out of hand, but in this rationale, they did not count amongst Flynn's standing in his community. On this fracture the Air Brusqueness had to one-sidedly bring about off. They solitary took one shot, that I can get, in that they labeled it by innuendo to be a hoax. Error is, how did Flynn act as if the charred circle of ground, how did he exaggerate and mutilate the leaves and, most crucially, how did he self-inflict a grind of such shape and intensity?
One irreversible piece of writing of evidence helped tolerate James Flynn. One of his definite injuries was litter of habitat brute force. Health check science tells us that one can't be faked; period! - "Republican Record - Belfast, Maine - July 2, 1987 - Glenn Sparks"
