Michael Johnson

Former Air Force security airman from St. Louis, now living in South Carolina, stationed at Ellsworth AFB from 1975 to 1977. He was Mario Woods' partner on the night of the November 1977 encounter at launch facility November-5, covering for Woods' usual partner. Afterwards he drank, fought, received an Article 15 and left with an honorable discharge and a re-entry code that kept him out of the Marines and Navy; he later drove trucks. Jesse Michels' team found him through a Facebook post and phoned him on 26 June 2026, when he recalled 'the UFO' unprompted; the two men were reunited and he was regressed on camera.
