Initial data
The pilot and copilot of C-47 US air force saw a round object with white lights on the leading edge.
One of the witnesses was Colonel Whitman, who shortly afterwards was appointed to the intelligence Department, headquarters United States air force.
The object flew in front of C-47 aircraft at an altitude of about 7000 feet, about 2000 feet higher than the C-47. The object was in the direction of approximately 270 degrees with a speed greater than that of a fighter jet in cruise mode.
According to estimates, the object was 1-2 miles West of the C-47, and at this time the object made a very steep turn of approximately 145 degrees.
The pilot, captain Gerald M. Jones turned the plane to try to intercept the object. The object approached quickly. At this time captain Jones was able to observe the silhouette of the object. It was round with white lights on the leading edge. At this point, the object turned sharply to the left 270 degrees and disappeared under the nose of the aircraft.
The estimated total time of observation of the object was not more than 3 minutes.
