In 1968, when I was an intelligence officer, I informed General George S. brown at the headquarters of the 7th air force in Saigon, Vietnam, about a UFO near the demilitarized zone. 

General brown States in a transcript of a Department of defense press conference in Illinois on October 16, 1973.

"I don't know if this story was ever told or not. They weren't called UFOs. They were called enemy helicopters. And they were only seen at night and only in certain places. In the summer of ' 68, they were seen in the demilitarized zone. And this led to a small battle. And in the course of this, an Australian destroyer was hit, and we never found the enemy. We were only there when it was all settled. And it caused a firefight there, and there was no enemy, but we always reacted. Always after dark. The same thing happened at Pleiku in the Highlands in ' 69."

Thank you to General George S. brown, chief of staff of the United States air force, and then Chairman of the joint chiefs of staff.

Summary: In 1968, when I was an Intelligence Officer, I briefed General George S. Brown, at 7th Air Force Headquarters in Saigon, Vietnam about UFOs near the DMZ. General Brown states in a Department of Defense transcript of press conference in Illinois, October 16, 1973. “I don’t know whether this story has ever been told or not. They weren’t called UFOs.” They were called enemy helicopters. And they were only seen at night and they were only seen in certain places. They were seen up around the DMZ in the summer of ’68. And this resulted in quite a little battle. And in the course of this, an Australian destroyer took a hit and we never found any enemy, we only found ourselves when this had all been sorted out. And this caused some shooting there, and there was no enemy at all involved, but we always reacted. Always after dark. The same thing happened up at Pleiku at the Highlands in ’69.” Thanks to General George S. Brown, USAF Chief of Staff and later Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
