Narrative
Between 1545 and 1600 hours PST on 10 January 1953, Colonel Robert McNab USAF (Ret) and Mr. Fay Hunter of the Federal Security Agency observed an unidentified flying object at high altitude. The object performed three 360-degree tight turns to the right (each taking 2-3 seconds), two 90-degree right-angle turns, and twice slowed to nearly a complete stop before accelerating to high speed. The object then rose vertically and disappeared from view. Total observation time was 60-75 seconds. No radar contacts were made.
