2300 hours" I Corps" was the location. Sound of rushing wind
in a distance. It took about 5 min. to reach or area. It rattled the cans tied in the barbwire. It was at this time that me
and another Marine looked up. It was black no lights 200ft. off the ground and disk shape. It was Hugh and moving no more
than 10 MPH. It took about a min. for it to completely cross over. We were in a free fire zone but no one fired a round. It
was also reported a the other end of our perimeter by two other Marines.

UFO Shot at by Hanoi Missiles
Dr Rimili Avramenko, a Russian scientist revealed that during
the Vietnam War, a massive UFO flew over Hanoi. Although every major weapon in that city had its sights set on the craft,
it didn't budge. The spherical object had a luminous, orange glow was sited at high altitude over Hanoi where it remained
nearly stationary for an hour and a half. Thinking that some kind of the air raid was eminent, the North Vietnamese fired
three anti-aircraft missiles at it. They were completely ineffective, however, as none could reach the extreme altitude of
the UFO according to Allen J. Hynek, in "UFOs Merit Scientific Study," P. 179.
The Great Helicopter Mystery
Friday, Jun. 28, 1968
The news that South Vietnamese officials flashed from I Corps
last week was nothing less than astonishing: swarms of North Vietnamese helicopters had been sighted in the Demilitarized
Zone, they claimed, and more than a dozen had been brought down by allied fire. Thus began the Great Helicopter Mystery.
Beginning two weeks ago and lasting for several nights, allied
counter-mortar radar along the eastern edge of the DMZ, where the zone is bordered by the South China Sea, had indeed showed
blips that looked like slow-moving, low-flying aircraft—like helicopters. American artillerymen had also reported sighting
a series of strange moving lights near the Ben Hai River, the dividing line between North and South Viet Nam. Artillery and
aircraft promptly opened fire on the targets and the blips disappeared.
No visual sightings of helicopters were made, and reconnaissance
planes found no wreckage. But at about the same time as the U.S. response, several strange things happened. A U.S. Navy patrol
boat was sunk off the DMZ by unidentified fire, the nearby Australian destroyer H.M.S. Hobart was holed in at least 200 places
by what turned out to be three U.S. air-to-air Sparrow missiles, and three other vessels, including the cruiser U.S.S. Boston,
reported that they had been fired on.
Opinion as to what had happened seesawed. Some officers thought
it "highly probable" that a misreading of radar signals—images that looked like slow-moving helicopters but were really
friendly vessels patrolling offshore—caused the allies to fire on their own ships. At week's end, while a special board
of inquiry tried to fathom the mystery, U.S. officials in Saigon allowed that North Vietnamese helicopters might indeed have
been in action in the DMZ. Whether or not they have come that far south, big Russian-built helicopters are now a standard
part of North Viet Nam's much-improved weaponry.

NEW Viet Nam STORY POSTED FEB.23,2008
RE: UFO's in the DMZ

Hello: Cosmo
I have a submission to add to your stories "UFO's in the DMZ." I was in South Vietnam in March of 1968; my Marine Corps
artillery battery was deployed at the Quang Tri Combat Base, about twenty miles south of the DMZ.
Late in the day, just before sunset, we noticed three round objects to our southwest, far down the horizon.
We were all trying to relax a bit before sunset and night watches started. The objects caught our attention because they moved
together; when originally sighted, they appeared to be far down the horizon but moving towards us at a rate of speed that
was abnormal.
Suddenly, they stopped on a dime, all three at the same time; by now over a hundred Marines on the west perimeter
had seen and were watching the objects. Suddenly they accelerated and appeared to move about one quarter of the horizon distance
instantly. In one place to the south, a quick accelerating blur, and they were almost due west of our position. They then
moved to our right, all you could see was a blur where they had been and then they would reappear, stopping instantly. They
moved back to the left (south) hovering about a minute; now, a few hundred Marines were watching all commenting there was
nothing on this earth that could move that fast. Suddenly, they went straight up, only the initial blur and they were gone.
Needless to say, there was quite a buzz among all the Marines who had saw the objects. They appeared completely round and
were a brightish white in color.
The next morning there was a release from our battery CO stating what we had saw the night before were "weather
balloons" and nothing more, No need to write home or anything else, they were not UFO's. We bought that the same as if they
had told us we were not at war...
The day passed and night was again fast approaching; suddenly there was a yell "there they are again" Sure
enough, the same three round objects were doing their show in the SW/western sky. It lasted about ten minutes and once again,
they accelerated straight up into space, only a brief blur where they had been. The next morning the same release, weather
balloons again... They never reappeared during the last month of my tour...
I rotated home at the end of the month; I never talked about the objects, who would believe me? Then in 1988
something happened that I always considered "more than chance." I was working with a "Veterans Christian Ministry" just east
of Seattle, Washington my home town. I had married and returned home after the war; a local pastor from Gig Harbor, Washington
had stopped by the national offices. I think his name was Rob Harper, (that might be wrong) we had gone through normal, "where
were you" conversation; he had been in the Army and with myself in the Marine Corps there was little chance we would have
been in the same locations. I mentioned I spent 62 days at Marine Corps Firebase Gio Linh, South Vietnam, a very heavy combat
location. He stated he had been briefly there; I assumed army artillery but he said no, army intelligence. I asked him what
in the world army Intel was doing at Gio Linh; he stated he was a photographer and had been sent there to photograph "Russian
helicopters" moving through the DMZ at nighttime with a Marine Corps general and some of General Westmoreland's staff. Suddenly,
he said "that's not true" I was there to photograph UFO's; he said the date was March 1968.
I was stunned, I told him not to say another word and I then proceeded to tell him what they looked like,
where they approached from and where they went. He was at Gio Linh the second evening we saw them in response to the first
night. The Marine Corps general was Lieutenant General Lewis Walt, CG of the 111 MAF. He told me he had an extremely "high
powered" zoom lens; his pictures took him close enough to actually see the sides of the vehicles were some form of fabrication.
After he had taken the photos, he descended the 65 foot tower he was on. General Walt ordered him to hand over his film and
never speak a word of what he had seen; if he did, General Walt told him they would bury him so deep in Leavenworth he would
never be heard from again.
Hundreds of Marines saw these objects from many different units. My artillery battery was Golf Battery, 3rd
Battalion 12th Marine Regiment. I do not care what people think, I know what I saw those two nights and what were the odds
of running into the army Intel photographer twenty years later...

Hi Cosmo:
I would be happy to help get this information out; I know of one other Marine who was there when it happened. I have never
talked to him about the incident although I would be glad to track him down and talk to him, seeing what he remembers. My phone number is below.
