Fort Dix/McGuire AFB, New Jersey: MP Shoots Entity, Body Recovered by Blue Berets, Sent to Wright-Patterson

At Fort Dix, New Jersey, three nights after a bluish-green oval hovered over an MP's patrol car, the MP confronted a short being and fired five rounds. The being ran to the adjacent McGuire AFB fence line as the UFO ascended to join eleven more intruders overhead. A sergeant found the entity's body: four feet long, unclad, hairless, with a large head, slender torso, gray-brown scaly skin, and an ammonia smell. Blue Berets dispatched a C-141 aircraft from Wright-Patterson AFB for removal.
