On the night of Step 15, 1965, James W. Flynn was camping in the Everglades after live out individual hunting dogs. Brusquely after midnight, Flynn saw a dazzlingly lit object downhill close to a mile impossible. Flynn pondering it was a helicopter until he looked at it immediate binoculars. Evidence it may be individual melodious of a plane in disruption, or individual new intend from Shawl Kennedy' he assemble his bury buggy towards the light, seeing that it was discernible immediate the vegetation. About a division of a mile impossible, 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 bulky, cone-shaped article perched a few feet improved 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, with blonde light burning immediate them. Flynn heard a whirring draw up to 'a diesel generator,' which anxious one of his dogs 'who was wailing in his manipulate and difficult to get apparent, but may well detect no apparatus or occupants.In the past around proceedings, Flynn approached the craft, Trendy 200 yards of the UFO, jumped out of his bury buggy, stepping modish the circle of light and raising his hand as a agreeable gesticulation in case he was being watched. As he did this, the UFO emitted a jet-like signal and a affliction of snake that knocked him off-balance. As he continued to face within a few yards, the UFO emitted a light laugh at draw up to a welder's torch, grand him on the peak and knocking him involuntary. Later he told the pronounced press release "I felt a smack draw up to a sledgehammer together with the eyes, and that's all I experience."When he came to hours behind, he found himself semi blinded, and a revolting tinge was passed away on his peak anywhere the light laugh at had struck. The craft was subsequent to, but acquaint with was a charred round area anywhere it had hovered, and the tops of accessible vegetation had been burned.Flynn sought aid from an Indian knowledge who helped him stomach to Fort Myers. He obligatory remedial procedure and had a trifling murky spot on his peak. In toting up to the revolting tinge on his peak and the go to work on his vision, doctors absolute Flynn very had an dent of stony potential and muscle reflexes, numbness and loss of tribulation.Now the five days subsequently Flynn was in the medical wing, intelligence officers, under the directives of Well-liked O'Keefe, phoned him from accessible Fruit farm AFB. In the past obtaining a significant report, they responsive him they would sample him anew subsequently he was released from the medical wing.Flynn's doctor found dent of potential and muscle reflexes which he made-up may well not shut in been faked, and the NICAP investigation finished that the type of the nation was supported by the genuine evidence: high genuine note evidence was found at the site, among a round area of thirsty sawgrass 72 feet in diameter anywhere the object has been perched, and burns of the accessible vegetation.Unfortunately Flynn's encounter came at a time of maximum trouble for the Air Command, surely at home a foremost bulge in the expanse, and they were statute their best to take steps down the sighting. Attempts were made to smudge Flynn which backfired subsequently numerous leading those, police officers and doctors vouched for him. The Air Force's tinge that Flynn may shut in hoaxed the encounter without being seen the awe-inspiring ground and tree traces and his own genuine impairments which his doctor made-up "may well not shut in been faked".In the end the Air Command permanent for the a little inexpert top that, subsequently questioned, they had whoosh on their files inside the Flynn incident. - "UFOs at Finish off Perceive" - Patrick Gross / Fort Myers, Florida News-Press - Step 18, 1965"
Joan Woodward: Mean Riposte Promontory - NICAP Case File
James Flynn, a rancher of East Fort Myers, Florida, walked modish the office of ophthalmologist Dr. Paul Bronzed in Fort Myers, on Wednesday, Step 17, 1965, and asked to be treated. The area in relation to his eyes was red and distended and he was similar to eyeshade. His argue eye looked draw up to a violent stone. In the past tribulation his story, Dr. Bronzed notified Mrs. Flynn, who came and took her spouse to Lee Place of worship Sickbay, anywhere he remained for five days.The story told by Flynn is major, but so were his wounds. The consequent is reconstructed from conversations and correspondence together with the Receiver Phenomena Groundwork Resound (APRO), Dr. Harvey Element, Flynn's family tree general practitioner, and Flynn himself.On Friday, Step 12, Flynn took his bury buggy, camping trappings, and four dogs, and set out for the Everglades, about eighteen miles east of the Big Cypress Indian Suspicions. On Sunday night, the dogs jumped a deer and ran off. Flynn whistled and called until about midnight, plus started his bury buggy and headed in the government in which he last saw them management.An hour behind, at about 1 A.M. (Monday), Flynn spotted a wonderful light in the sky improved the cypress vegetation about a mile impossible. It inspired from east to west and stomach to its formerly arrangement four period. The object plus permanent to the ground and appeared to self-possession at an echelon of four feet. Flynn assemble quicker, got out his binoculars, turned out the light on his bury buggy, and watched it with the glasses. It was an marked object of together with thirty and thirty-two feet tall and binary as big imaginatively the basis (in diameter) as it was high. Eight feet from the top was a row of windows, under which were three first-class rows of the especially size-about two feet by two feet. Approximately the windows was a black paddle, perhaps two inches gigantic. From the basis of the least row of windows to the basis of the ship was a disaffect of about twelve feet. Flynn judged the magnitude by comparing the object with the around cypress vegetation, which were about twenty-five feet tall. It was cone-shaped, staff the top was not peaked but bowed.The unpleasant object appeared to be showy and comprised of pieces of difficulty four feet by four feet and assumed company with rivets. The windows gave off a slow-moving blonde light, and the area under the object was lighted by an orangish-red set off. He watched the object for thirty to forty proceedings with his binoculars.Flynn was by this time about a division mile from the object and crucial to investigate brand new, so he cranked up his buggy and approached it. He got within a few yards of the feature of the light and bunged, switching off his buggy lamp anew. The dog he had on the buggy in a manipulate was so change around it had begun difficult to opening out of its manipulate.Flynn walked to the feature of the lighted area, raised his arm and waved. He got no key, and after waiting an rough one shared end, he walked about six feet modish the lighted area, raised his arm, and waved anew.On a whim a "take laugh at" of light erupted from unbiased under the basis of the windows and struck Flynn on the peak. He lost fancy.He awoke in the embryonic hours of Tuesday, after twenty-four hours of unconsciousness; although he did not experience at the time that he had been involuntary for such a have a yen alteration. He was lying on the ground considering his buggy, and the dog on the buggy had similar to in shreds his manipulate up your sleeve. Flynn looked in relation to the area, found a without blemish symmetrical circle of burned ground cover anywhere the object had hovered. Positive cypresses on the opposite side of the circle were burned at the tops. He very found imprints in the surrounding area of his buggy emotional that he had crawled in relation to otherwise he regained fancy, although he had no looking back of crowded.Undersized from his have a yen alteration in need food, Flynn assemble his buggy stomach to his campsite about two miles impossible, cooked bacon and eggs, and ate them. He plus assemble to the homeland of a Seminole Indian acquaintance, Henry Billy, on the Protect. The leave-taking was casual as he had only unfinished wooly sight in his passed away eye and was eyeshade in his argue eye.Billy offered to conquer him stomach to Fort Myers, but, with unfinished sight, Flynn felt he may well make the have a break solitary and stylish acquaint with at 4 P.M., Wednesday. He went to Brown's office and it was acquaint with that he speculative that he requirement shut in been involuntary for twenty-four hours instead of unbiased a few proceedings or hours; he had lost a unpleasant day.The first treat in this case is, of course, the candor of the notation, and James Flynn's rank was boundless. He was not a ingestion man. He was a rancher who enjoyed hunting in the wilds of Florida's Everglades. This have a break was not his first. He had not, previous to his style, been remarkable in "In the air Porcelain."APRO requested from Dr. Element his withstand of Flynn, and what follows is the keep a record of his communication to APRO, barred April 28, 1965:"I shut in predictable Mr. Flynn for 25 living and shut in continually deliberate him a constant, angrily lasting merely."I very accompanied him to the site of his observation of the flying object. I shut in made a few pictures of the burned area, which is not conclusive of what on earth but a forward-looking swell up and waterless treetops in a paranormal circle meticulous the area dappled by Mr. Flynn as site of the perched object. Here were very forward-looking pull out imprints on two vegetation 12 or 15 feet up your sleeve in the area overturn the burned circle of vegetation. The imprints were as if a heavy object in a respectable line had slid down the vegetation about 2 feet and acquaint with bunged. Here was no bloom of any melodious on the at a low level dried morass overturn. No monster, human, or way tracks of any melodious. I may well not type for inhabit pull out imprints." Ever so Bona fide Yours, (Signed) H. J. Element, M.D.DR. STRIPE'S Therapeutic Bang READS AS FOLLOWS:"I was asked to see Mr. Flynn about 48 hours after he was admitted to Lee Place of worship Sickbay by an opthalmologist, for an injury to his argue eye. The eye situation was hemorraging modish the forward sanctum of the eye, apparently nerve-racking."Mr. Flynn gave a history of being hit by everything draw up to a glow of light seeing that approaching an unidentified flying object perched unbiased improved the ground."I am sure you are acquainted with the type of his observation of his unidentified flying object. When I first examined Mr. Flynn, he had all eyes cloaked by bandages and I was not able to detect his eyes or peak. He was caveat and helpful. The genuine examination showed a well-muscled, well-nourished male. The courage and lungs were normal. The abdomen was normal. The only copious outcome were neurological. No paralysis was noted, but the stony muscle reflexes of biceps, triceps, patellas, and achilles were omitted. Plantars and abdominal were omitted, but cremasterics were fit."Mr. Flynn was observed attentively for around weeks. His reflexes more and more returned over a five-day to one-week alteration, but returned disproportionately. The peak was totally examined and open a thickened area unbiased improved and medial to the argue eye; in the center of this area was a pathetic, immaterially abraded spot about 1 centimeter in diameter. Ever so trifling bring of haematoma was noted imaginatively argue more eye-lid. Here was never any mental troubled or evidence of Nightmare."About the fourth day in the medical wing, Mr. Flynn complained of tribulation reduce and numbness in arms and hands. This cleared in about 24 hours."When last seen about 16 April 1965, close to 4 weeks after the injury, Mr. Flynn was anew plaid. The abdominal reflexes were not fit, but all others were normal. The pathetic area over the argue eye was stationary fit and unusual. He stationary has a grubby vision of the argue eye. No other copious genuine or neurological outcome were noted."The wonderful burned area, the waterless tops of 25-foot cypress vegetation, the sort imprints 4 feet off the ground, all beam Flynn's type. - "The Directory of UFOs" - 1980"
Garish UFO LANDS IN FLORIDA BogOn the night of Step 14, 1965, James W. Flynn, who is a rancher and hunting dog professor, was camped out for the night in the Everglades. Righteous as he was settling down for the night, his dogs became agitated and change around. He looked in relation to expecting guests, but instead he sighted a durable light furtively and listlessly downhill about a mile impossible.Evidence that perhaps an flat had gotten modish disruption and subsequent to down, he traditional his bury buggy for the stumble and set out to compose aid if popular. He was guided actual to the spot by the set off which continued unabated. This uneasy Flynn as he thought to sign a blistering plane and doubtless injuries or dead. He found neither.When about a division mile impossible, he grounded his bury buggy and continued on foot. Exactly he found himself in a bulky resolution and he wasn't solitary. A few twenty yards impossible he saw a round, cone-shaped object with a lurid set off. It hovered unbiased improved the ground with a immaterially visible wobbling gesture. He detected, after a bit of examine, a highly he may well only image as a hum. He rough the magnitude at well over seventy-five feet in diameter and twenty-five to thirty feet thick. Here were four rows of ports or windows sequence the craft, everybody emitting a blonde light dissimilar the color of the craft's in general set off. A cage up at this time considering the windows prevented him from seeing any within details or occupants.For numerous proceedings Flynn unbiased stood acquaint with, astounded. He had heard of such sound effects, but, until now, had never dependable full them heftily. Overactive artistic quality, he'd pondering. But this was not artistic quality. It was real.Foible overcame fright. He started to face the craft to get a build up watch. He never made it. A pencil thin blue light shot out from "everywhere" on the craft hitting Flynn on the peak "argue together with the eyes." He was involuntary otherwise he hit the ground.When he regained fancy, he was semi eyeshade, belated, had a immense smart and a bulky, bloody tinge on his peak. The craft was subsequent to. In some way he got his bury buggy leave-taking and got to his place of birth of Ft. Meyers, Florida. He was immediate to a medical wing for examination and procedure.In the past he told his story, investigators went stomach to the spot. They found a bulky round spot in the resolution anywhere the ground and feed were charred. The tops of individual accessible vegetation were strictly burned. The bikini and limbs of individual of the vegetation were scarred.The Air Command, at that time, usually debunked and belittled UFO sightings and the staff who reported them out of hand, but in this glasses case, they did not fasten with Flynn's swelling in his home. On this option the Air Command had to semi stomach off. They only took one shot, that I can sign, in that they labeled it by innuendo to be a hoax. Inquest is, how did Flynn deceptive the charred circle of ground, how did he swell up and damage the vegetation and, most crucially, how did he self-inflict a tinge of such shape and intensity?One unquestionable piece of writing of evidence helped transparent James Flynn. One of his genuine injuries was remaining of within brute force.
