1973 ÐYear of the ÒGlobal UFO WaveÓ
1973 ÐThe ÒYear of the HumanoidsÓ
1973 ÐThe year of the Pascagoula alien abduction claim
1973 ÐSeveral witnesses observed two Unidentified Flying Objects: one
temporarily landed on a US Interstate road while the other hovered close-by. An entity appeared from the landed object. A car driver approaching from the opposite direction stops, turns his/her car and races off. This is classed as a Major Incident in Ufology.
1973 Ða driver observes a landed UFO and entities and opens fire with his gun when he felt threatened. A High Strangeness account.
Neither of these cases was investigated despite requests for local investigators to do so. Even in 2020 the idea of opening up either as a cold case was flatly
Rejected by AmericaÕs Ôtop UFO investigationÕ group. Reports now probably lost to history.
1973 Ða year in which UFO reports from African-Americans were frowned upon and ignored. Nothing has changed.
