Narrative

On 13 August 1956 at 0515Z, an operator at Stapleton Airport in Denver, Colorado, observed two balloon-shaped objects with strings of lights moving slowly east-southeast for over one hour. Captain Wayne R. E. (T-33 AF29594 from Lowry AFB) and Lt. Davenport (T-33 AF18573 from George AFB) intercepted at 17,000 feet at speeds 150-180 knots and identified the objects as two balloons. Subsequent telephone conversation between Lt. Davenport and Lt. Machyowsky confirmed no doubt the objects were balloons.
