Narrative

At 1000 PST 27 January 1953, T/Sgt Koonce and S/Sgt Wise observed a single oval bright silver object one mile west of March AFB CA. Object appeared larger than B-29 aircraft and varied in speed from stationary to tremendous speed exceeding any aircraft. Object moved in apparent straight course with side-to-side wobble; diffused glow appeared only during movement; the oval shape was clearly defined during the absence of glow. Sgt Koonce had 10 years AF service and witnessed many aircraft.
