Incident No. 64 — 19 August 1947, 2150 hours, Twin Falls, Idaho.

Several people were reported as sighting numerous groups of objects in the night sky. These objects were described as a glow in the air with a color similar to regular electric lights. The objects were said to have traveled at "terrific" speed. Some flew in triangular formation. Three objects peeled off of one group of ten, and proceeded on another course. The sky was overcast. Two observers stated that the objects could not have been birds since the lights were not a reflection of city lights.

APC Opinion: Many familiar object…

Incident #64 -- Twin Falls, Idaho -- 19 August 1947
