Great article BC!. I remember this happening when I was younger. I did not remember or know all about the harrassment Danny went through for coming forward. Now my question is this. Why would any agency care if some guy with a camera is taking pictures of lights in the sky? It makes no sense at all to me.

I believe he saw and photographed something. We had some very interesting things in the air in the late 80s, and the location isn't all that far from either Langley or Seymour Johnson, as well as a couple naval air stations. I don't believe the bulk of his story however. The bit about having called the Pentagon and "talked to the air force general there,” is pure bunk. He'd have been lucky to have talked to a CGO in public affairs. Same thing with statements attributed to "the spokesman for defense at the Pentagon." What kind of reporter would not get names and duty titles if he interviewed DoD officials? And aerial refuelings with probe and drogue systems do occur at altitudes as low as 3000 ft.

The "men in black" thing is a myth, it all started with a joke played on the gullible John Keel by noted ufologist/prankster Gray Barker. Once Keel started talking about them, suddenly others started seeing them.

I’m so glad we have you to look at these reports with sensible and knowledgeable view.

Nice of you to say. My problem with many, if not most, UFO stories is they make no sense and hurt the credibility of serious ufology. Anyone with experience in, or even with, the DoD would question this tale, but it seems believable to the uninitiated. I'm seeing a similar situation now with COVID, stories that I wouldn't know are BS if not for having both a wife and daughter who are critical care nurses.
