This is a potential EOTS sighting and we didn't have docs on from the unpublished Ruppelt manuscript until now.

Brad Sparks:

July 9, 1947; Bet. Meridian and Boise, Idaho (BBU)
12:17 p.m. (PDT). Idaho Statesman aviation editor and former (AAF) B-29 pilot Dave Johnson flying in an Idaho Air National Guard AT-6 saw a black disc, standing out against the clouds, make a half-roll then a stair-step climb. Object the size of a 25-cent coin [at arm's length?]. (Berliner)
