January 10, 2004 Huntington, Indiana - On Sunday, January 4, 2004, The Herald-Press in Huntington, Indiana, published a front page story with the headline, "The Object of Their Vexation" and secondary headline, "The day after Christmas (December 26, 2003), three Huntington law officers saw something moving through the sky over the city in broad daylight (around 2:30-2:45 p.m.) - but they can't explain what it was."
December 20, 2003 Phoenix, Arizona - Beginning Friday, December 12th, the Sci Fi Channel broadcast a docudrama about the famous alleged UFO landing incidents at the American and British Air Force joint RAF Bentwaters base in England, near the Rendlesham forest. The exact time line of what happened, and when, has been part of the confusion over the years as various eyewitnesses have had different descriptions of events at different times and dates.

Question: While the Simeone case probably had no connection with the 1942 incident, occurring "north of Georgia," were the three WWII era crashes happening so close together, time-wise, a freak coincidence? Hardly. Or, were the mishaps a result of increased surveillance during a period of world conflict which began in September 1939?
Digressing a moment, despite the reports of early mishaps, I opted to stretch a bit in my working hypothesis to allow for the susceptibility of crashes in 1947 in the USA Southwest, notably in New Mexico. As a postulate, the alien mind set might have had a concern for the U. S. rapid development of a nuclear and rocket-missile arsenal, and thus, were willing to take greater risks in low-level tactical missions. And, despite their marvels of technology, it is feasible that they might have underestimated the effects of radar or New Mexico's sudden violent electrical storms.

Leonard Stringfield died on December 18, 1994. Now, on the tenth anniversary of his passing, I would like to honor Len Stringfield's pioneering spirit and courage to research the politically unacceptable topic of crashed aerial vehicles and entities of unknown origin and to report what he learned - even in the face of threats. Earthfiles will reprint all seven of his famous "Status Reports" about alleged UFO crash retrievals covering the period of 1978 to 1994. This reprinted series will begin with Status Report VII, first published in February 1994, and will go backward in time to the first report in 1978. This is done with the permission and cooperation of his surviving family.
Leonard H. Stringfield 1920-1994
Background
Leonard Stringfield was born on December 17,1920, in Cincinnati, Ohio. He attended the University of Cincinnati in journalism and served in the U. S. Army Air Force from early 1943 until his discharge in November 1945 as a Private First Class. He married Adella Romero in 1947 and they had three daughters. In 1950, Len began working in public relations and marketing services for DuBois Chemicals, a division of Chemed Corp., in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Len told me that he knew in the early 1950s that there was a standing military order to try to bring down "flying saucers," whatever they were. But he said the United States lost a lot of good pilots trying to carry out that order, so it was eventually rescinded.

December 13, 2003 Nine Mile Island, Ruby, Alaska - At the end of August 2003, I reported about a mysterious crop pattern near the Serpent Mound in Ohio discovered on August 24, and the interest of the United States Air Force in that crop pattern and several others that emerged in the Ohio and Wisconsin region during the 2003 summer. What none of us knew was that on the rainy and foggy night of August 22nd near remote Ruby, Alaska (population 188) on the Yukon River, one or more loud jets flew low and loudly up and down the river for about ten minutes, according to witnesses.
