The First Scientific UFO Field Study 2
UFOs were big news in 1973. Besides the\xa0Pascagoula\xa0and the\xa0Coyne\xa0incidents, there were flaps all over the United States. One in Piedmont, Missouri, got started that year in late February with UFO reports involving cars stalling and radio interference. These caught the attention of a physics professor, Harley D.
