The visitors were treated       to lunch, then driven back up the mountain road where Hoyt said he       saw the crash.               "They wanted to know what the angle was when it came down," he said.       "They used some tool to measure something after we pointed at the       spot."              After developing the film in Hoyt's camera, he says, the Air Force       returned two sets of enlarged prints of the family camping trip -       minus the frames that could have shown the descending aircraft.              An Air Force officer who interviewed Hoyt and his relatives asked       them not to talk to anyone about what they saw, "but said he couldn't       force me," he said.              The Air Force will confirm only that a plane crashed, killing its       pilot. It refuses to divulge what kind of aircraft, the base from       which it took off or its mission.              Military guards armed with M-16 rifles have sealed off a large area       around the crash site.              Back home in Redondo Beach, Hoyt says he feels a bit bewildered by       all the attention his claims have brought.        --------------------------------------               Report #: 200        From: UFO INFO SERVICE        Date Sent: 12-10-1986        Subject: GRANDVIEW, WA               CASE TYPE: LRS - NL        DATE: 4 & 7 SEPTEMBER 1986         TIME: 0400, 2230 HOURS         DURATION: UNKNOWN        WITNESSES: MANY         SOURCE: HERALD, GRANDVIEW, WA         --------------------------------------        Grandview residents were among several people who reported seeing       unidentified flying objects on Thursday morning and Sunday evening.              On Thursday, a Wapato policeman was the first to spot a UFO, about       4 a.m. The object travelled slowly, and was last seen near Prosser       about 6 a.m. It was described as large and changed colors. Although       small in the night sky, it was larger than a star or planet.              An object brighter than a planet was spotted over the Rattlesnake Hills,       north of Grandview, on Sunday evening about 10:30 p.m. It changed       colors rapidly. A witness described it as alternating red and green,       and a ray of light seemed to be coming out the bottom.        --------------------------------------               Report #: 1        From: UFO INFO SERVICE        Date Sent: 07-03-1986        Location: VICTOR HARBOUR,AUSTRALIA               CASE TYPE: LRS - CO         DATE: 25 MAY 1986         TIME: DAY         CFN#: 01        DURATION: UNKNOWN       WITNESSES: MANY         SOURCE: ADVERTISER, Adelaide, S.A. Australia       --------------------------------------------------       RAAF has no plans to seek car-sized UFO                An unidentified flying object much bigger then a family car" is lying       at the bottom of Encounter Bay Victor Harbor, after plummeting to       earth soon after midday on Saturday.               The object, unofficially logged as a meteorite by the RAAF base at       Edinburgh, was seen by dozens of people from as far south as post       MacDonnell in the South-East and south-Western Victoria.               Senior Constable G.A. Clemow, of Beachport, said he and several other       Beachport people had seen a large, smoke-colored vapor trail left by       the object as it speed past at cloud height.              The trail had taken more then five minutes to begin dispersing. Sen       Const Clemow said a thornleigh farmer Mr.Neil Sutherland, had told       him the object looked like a rocket, with a propeller-like device       at the rear, fins and a fair bit of red paint.               Mr.Sutherland had described the fast-moving tube as much bigger then       a family car.              Beachport resident Mr Gary Chambers said he had seen the object for       only a few seconds as it came down. It looked like a falling star,       but in broad daylight, Mr Chambers said it was very high up I thought       it burned up above the horizon.               Mr George Thorn, of Victor Harbor said his wife had seen the object       falling towards the sea. Moments later, though binoculars, he had       seen what he thought at the time to be a very large red and white       boat bobbing up and down in the heavy swell, about five kilometres       offshore. It had sunk monents later and three boats found nothing.               Police and RAAF Officials said they knew of no plans to look for the       object, lying in at least 20 fathoms of water. A department spokesman       in Adelaide said no RAAF Hercules had reported anything and there       was no sighting on any radar screens. He said the department would       investigate but he knew only what had been reported. He said he was       curious about a witness who described the object as looking like a       "cruise missile."              What does a cruise missile look like? I work in defence I've never       seen one, he said as for the chance that the object was an extraerrestrial       that not show up on radar, the spokesman said with a chuckle: "There's       a possibility it could be anything, if in fact there is something,       but at the moment we know nothing."              --------------------------------------------------------------------------                **********************************************        * THE U.F.O.
