At 10 AM on 1 August 1952, as I was entering the Security Service compound with a group of airmen returning to work after a movie at the Base theater, someone called attention of the group to something in the sky. Upon looking up, I saw a round disc like object, white in color. It seemed to be at a high altitude and was moving at a high rate of speed in a southwesterly direction. It performed no maneuvers of any kind, only flew in a straight and level flight until too far away to be seen with the naked eye. I saw nothing that could be taken for wings or tail surfaces. The plane

4 August 1952

On Friday, 1 August 1952, at approximately 1000 hours, I noticed a flying object in the sky. The altitude of the aircraft was impossible for me to judge but appeared to be considerably above the cloud layer, which was reportedly 2500 ft. The relative speed appeared supersonic. The azimuth was about 25 to 30 degrees. The aircraft was heading in a WSW direction. It traveled a straight course on a horizontal plane. Its appearance was discus shaped with a ratio of diameter to width of about 6:1. It was metallic or white in color. It remained in view for about 1 and 1/2 minutes.
