About 0945 Lt McHenry, Billeting Officer in Charge, upon returning from the Post Exchange contacted the witness, Sgt Ruvol and asked him to look up in the sky.

Due to the altitude at which they flew they gave off a definite reflection from the rays of the sun. A few minutes later after the original two discs had disappeared he saw another object at the same altitude doing…
