	The Strange Case Of King Bird Fifty
		Air Traffic Control at Thule Air Force Base first started making intermittent contact with the aircraft when it was approximately 100 nautical miles out of Thule, over the Atlantic.
		Thule AFB is accustomed to having unscheduled visitors many of whom are in distress.
		Since downed aircraft are common on Thule, and the nature of the far northern location often means that such aircraft are soon covered over with literally dozens of feet of snow, this "explanation" is plausible.

		While Air Force personnel drove ice scrapers and loaders, the Danes filled barrels and other containers with debris, which were later dumped into a total of sixty-seven spare 25,000-gallon (95,000-liter) fuel tanks.
		Eleven months later, the Danish Institute for Clinical Epidemiology reported that Thule workers who had participated in Crested Ice experienced a 40 percent greater cancer diagnosis than a cohort of 3,000 Thule workers who were at the base before and after the accident and did not take part in the cleanup.
		To date, the Air Force's refusal to release any information concerning the toxic or radioactive inventory of the bombs or the B-52 continues to stymie Danish hopes of pinpointing the cause of the workers' illnesses.

	THE UFO CASEBOOK Newsletter Issue #7
		References......Due to the nature of the King Bird Story, it is very difficult to "name names", as most of the sources are military or government, and would therefore be in a considerable amount of danger, if their identities were known.
		It is definitely not beyond the realm of possibility that a UFO strayed into the assigned air space of the base and ignored radio warnings to stand clear when spotted on radar.
		The next logical step taken by the authorities of the base would be to send up fighter planes to escort the craft out of the area.

	Project Slide: USAF C-130 Ski Tests - Page 4
		A ski landing was made on the snow at the site, where the temperature was 45 degrees F. During preparation for departure, the No. 4 engine had a "hot start." The crew was unable to control the engine's temperature and the turbine was damaged.
		Consequently, a three-engine ski takeoff was made with a gross weight of 100,000 lbs., which required a takeoff run of approximately 5000 ft. on the snow.
		With the aircraft and paper work back in order, the task force departed for Sondrestrom Air Force Base in southern Greenland, which would be their operational base for ski tests on the ice cap.
