UFO History: Nov 11, 1975 — The Northern Tier Incursions

With it being another Veterans Day, I figured I would jump back into my on-again, off-again project and try to stay focused and on task. I love researching topics and sharing them to help inform the public on these strange topics. 

Incredibly, today is the  51st anniversary of the CINCNORAD message that closed a two-week wave of reported intrusions at Strategic Air Command nuclear sites that took place from Oct 27 to Nov 11, 1975. During these incursions, many military personnel from across North America reported suspicious objects in the sky. These locations include:

Loring AFB in Maine

Wurtsmith in Michigan

Malmstrom in Montana

Minot in North Dakota

Canadian Forces Station Falconbridge in Ontario. 

In the message, these five locations were specified, with the incursion at Malmstrom described in the most detail. The report documents height-finder radar returns between 9,500 and 15,500 feet, and two F-106s that never made contact.

While these took place in 1975, another anonymous account places an event at Malmstrom in 1980, where a football-field-sized disc flew over site K-7 and scrambled the missile codes. This was not documented by NORAD and has not been released in the TRACHE.
