AudioBlog- A 1966 UFO Police Chase

On the morning of April 17, 1966, two sheriff deputies, Dale Spaur
and Wilbur “Barney” Neff, chased a UFO from Portage County, Ohio,
for 86 miles all the way into Pennsylvania. They chased the object
at speeds ranging from 80 mph to 105 mph. According to them, there
were times when the object actually stopped and waited for them to
catch up to it. Other law enforcement officers witnessed the object
after being alerted by radio communications between the deputies
and their dispatcher. According to Project Blue Book Director
Hector Quintanilla, the officers chased the planet Venus. Spaur
stuck to the story that they had chased a physical object as others
went silent, and he ended up losing his job and his family. A case
that is remarkably similar is reported to have occurred in June of
that year, and the officer who reported it also seems to have
suffered for speaking out, but to a lesser extent than Spaur.There

like that, to keep your mouth shut.” Read more
