The public rarely hears about interactions between military personnel and unexplained aircraft -- especially during wartime.
As time goes on, however, UFO stories stuck behind red tape begin to see the light of day. The Vietnam War saw its share of UFO activity in the 1960s.
One close encounter, in 1968, involved the crew of an American patrol boat that reported two glowing circular craft following them in the demilitarized zone that separated North and South Vietnam (see depiction below).
The crew aboard a second patrol boat later reported seeing the UFOs over the first boat and a flash of light, followed by an explosion that completely destroyed the boat. These Vietnam reports included close observation of the unknown aerial craft which appeared to house pilots (see recreation image at the top of this story).
Wartime UFO stories are recreated in the premiere episode of the second season of History's "Hangar 1: The UFO Files." The accounts are drawn from tens of thousands of UFO cases in the archives of the Mutual UFO Network, the world's largest UFO investigation group.
"The military was interested in [UFOs] because they had capabilities far above anything that we had, and they wanted to find out what the technology was and, frankly, who they belonged to," according to former Air Force intelligence officer, Capt. George Filer.
While in Vietnam, Filer -- who had a top secret clearance -- gave daily briefings to Gen. George S. Brown, deputy commander for air operations in Vietnam.

I know a brahmin...his family was commissioned by the gov...to translate the sanskrit......most of india is convinced the zorosters had them.....
it’s all very intriguing. I don’t understand how so much can simply be dismissed by some.
Thanks for the links.
I remember a show on cable tv in the ‘90s, “Mysteries From Beyond the Other Dominion”, hosted by an eccentric character named Franklin Ruehl, excuse me, Dr. Franklin Ruehl, Ph.D. He was crazy for the ‘vimana.’ Sounds like an authorized account of the war in heaven described in Revelation.
Yep you are right on the money.
Me either. But US forces supposedly stayed out of the DMZ because it was the Demilitarized Zone,
But then, maybe we had a PBR that could go on land?
I hear that. LOL
That’s been over 42 years ago so I’ve forgotten some things. We were far enough south of the DMZ that we didn’t hear much and when we were moving south to Cam Rahn Bay, the ARVN’s were taking over. I doubt if any Americans were up there at that time.
