The Nha Trang UFO Incident,During the Vietnam War Nha Trang Air Base was one of the largest joint US - South Vietnamese military bases in South Vietnam.  Located along the coast of Khanh Hoa Province, it was home to over 40,000 soldiers and airmen.  On the night of June 19th, 1966 a strange object appeared over the base, becoming one of the most unusual wartime UFO encounters in history.Witnessed by several hundred soldiers, at 9:45 PM a large, bright, glowing object appeared directly over Nha Trang base.  Appearing over the base at 300-500 feet, the strange object was at first thought to be a simple flare.  However, as the object continued to hover it became apparent that it was no flare.  Then suddenly all power went out on the base.  All lights and electricity cut out.  All vehicles on the base went dead, including two aircraft that were preparing for takeoff.  In addition, an oil tanker off the Vietnamese coast lost power and was temporarily set adrift.  The glowing object drew the attention of a large group of soldiers who were viewing an outside movie at the time. The soldiers gathered below the object, which continued to hover over the base for a total of 4-5 minutes.  Then suddenly the object began to slowly ascend, before suddenly rocketing to the sky at seemingly impossible speeds.  Upon the departure of the mysterious object, power returned to the base and surrounding area.The incident was investigated by the military.  Later the National Investigations of Aerial Phenomenon (NICAP) investigated the incident, interviewing witnesses and obtaining military reports through the Freedom of Information Act.  In the reports, the object was reported as “an enemy helicopter”. -- source link
