1945 UFO Crash at Belfast, Maine The incident allegedly happened back in March 1945, as a man out squirrel-hunting in a wooded area in Belfast, Maine, claimed that he was surprised when he sighted a large dull black elongated object slowly moving along just above the trees. It’s front end appeared to be tilted slightly downward, and thus assuming that the object might be a dirigible about to crash, the witness began to run in the direction in which it was headed and from which he had soon lost it from view because of the dense evergreen foliage of this site. Coming to a small field however, the hunter stopped in his tracks as he watched the mysterious object crash into some trees at the far end of the clearing. A large pine tree had been split almost completely in half. The witness noted an odor like burned rubber, and observed white wispy cloud-like formations rising from underneath the object. The frightened hunter took a position behind a tree and just continued to watch. The witness recalled that the object was so large he felt that several B-36 aircraft could have fit inside of it. Next, the front end of the craft, which had been lower than the back end, began to rise, and the hunter noticed a humming sound, which gradually increased to a low whine. He stated that he had to cover his ears to prevent his eardrums “from splitting.” In the meantime, the object was on a horizontal plane and spinning slowly, in a manner similar to a football in flight. As the sound had increased so did the spinning motion of the object. Suddenly, from one end of the object, a shower of fine, silvery threads spewed forth. The object now seemed to glow a white metallic color, and then rose straight up at high speed, and was “out of sight in seconds.” References: The UFO Encyclopedia, The Phenomenon from the Beginning, Vol. 2, 2nd Edition, by Jerome Clark.
