The Holloman AFB Landing — Three Craft, Official Footage Offered Then Withdrawn

In April or May 1964, radar at Holloman Air Force Base allegedly tracked three unidentified objects approaching the base. One craft wobbled or struggled before landing on the desert tarmac. A panel opened and three beings emerged — described as wearing tight-fitting jumpsuits with a blue-grey complexion, eyes set far apart, and large heads. Air Force officials and scientists at the base were present and waiting, suggesting this was an expected arrival, not an emergency. THE EMENEGGER DOCUMENTARY: In 1971, filmmaker Robert Emenegger was approached by the U.S. Department of Defense and asked to produce a documentary about UFOs using official DoD and NASA source material. Emenegger was reportedly brought to Norton Air Force Base (the same base where Mark McCandlish later witnessed the ARV/Fluxliner craft) and told he would be given access to actual Air Force footage of the 1964 Holloman landing. According to Emenegger, he was shown some of the footage — enough to confirm it existed — but at the last minute, the offer was withdrawn. The resulting 1974 documentary 'UFOs: Past, Present, and Future' used illustrations and re-enactments instead of the real footage. The withdrawal was reportedly ordered from above, not by Emenegger's direct contacts at the base. THE BEINGS: Witnesses described the beings as approximately human-sized, wearing skin-tight black or dark jumpsuits resembling turtlenecks — all black, long-sleeved, covering the full body. Large heads, large dark eyes, blue-grey skin. Multiple beings emerged from the craft, not a single entity. This description — beings in tight-fitting dark suits at an Air Force base — has been consistently reported and matches footage that circulated on early internet platforms and file-sharing networks in the late 1990s and early 2000s. THE NORTON AFB CONNECTION: Emenegger was brought to Norton Air Force Base for the briefing — the same facility where Mark McCandlish witnessed three ARV/Fluxliner craft hovering in a hangar in 1988. Norton AFB was closed in 1994 under BRAC. The base's involvement in both the Holloman footage offer and the ARV demonstration suggests it served as a hub for classified aerospace programs. THE EVIDENCE STATUS: The Air Force has never officially acknowledged the Holloman landing. Project Blue Book, which was still active in 1964, contains no record of the event. However, the DoD's approach to Emenegger — offering then withdrawing real footage — is itself evidence: you don't offer footage of an event that didn't happen, and you don't withdraw it unless it's real.
