Oracle / Titan Site 570-1 UFO Report

August 7, 1962 as published by the Lorenzens; Hastings notes the date creates a major site-status problemTitan II Site 570-1 near Oracle, Arizona, Arizona, United States

Hastings quotes a 1969 APRO account in which anonymous witnesses said a brilliant object descended above the future Titan II complex and departed when two interceptors approached, later returning. Hastings then establishes that, if the date is correct, no Titan II had yet been installed and the complex was not operational.
