Sparks: July 8, 1947; 40 miles S of Muroc Army Air Field
(BBU)
4 p.m. The pilot of an F-51 was flying at 20,000
feet about 40 miles south of Muroc Air Base when he
sighted a "flat object of a light reflecting nature."
He reported that it had no vertical fin or wings. When
he first saw it, the object was above him and he tried
to climb up to it, but his F-51 would not climb high
enough. All air bases in the area were contacted but
they had no aircraft in the area. [See previous Muroc
sightings.] (Exact and complete quote from Ruppelt p.
22)
