Chorwon Orange Object

In May 1951, near Chorwon, South Korea, PFC Francis P. Wall and his Army company reported a pulsating orange object descending through active artillery fire undamaged. Wall fired his M1 rifle at it and heard metallic ricochets. Three days later the entire company was evacuated with elevated white blood cell counts, rapid weight loss, and severe dysentery, physiological effects that baffled attending Army physicians.

Brief

In May 1951, near Chorwon, South Korea, PFC Francis P. Wall and his Army company reported a pulsating orange object descending through active artillery fire undamaged. Wall fired his M1 rifle at it and heard metallic ricochets. Three days later the entire company was evacuated with elevated white blood cell counts, rapid weight loss, and severe dysentery, physiological effects that baffled attending Army physicians. Wall gave detailed testimony to John P. Timmerman of the Center for UFO Studies in 1987; his account was unchanged from his original 1951 military report. The object changed color from orange to a pulsating blue-green before directing what Wall described as an energy beam across the troops. NICAP compiled 42 corroborated Korean War UFO sighting reports drawn from Project Blue Book files.
