The 1978 McGuire AFB Alien Encounter: Allegations, Eyewitness Accounts, and Ongoing Skepticism

An alleged 1978 incident at McGuire Air Force Base near Fort Dix involved the shooting of a grey extraterrestrial on a runway and reports of a hovering flying saucer and a Wright-Patterson transport; eyewitness Jeff Morse provided an incident report and NICAP regarded him credible, while U.S. Air Force officials dismissed it as fiction, a civilian base historian called it complete fiction, and attempts to retrieve records have not yielded confirmation; Major George A. Filer III, who later led MUFON on the East Coast, recalls hearing that aliens were found and shot, a disc-shaped craft and a body guarded by multiple people, with a Wright-Patterson C-141 arriving to pick it up, key personnel transferred to prevent discussion, radar sightings of UFOs, and photos kept from view, leaving the case controversial with no definitive public evidence.
