Aerial Encounter With Disc
July 9, 1951
Augusta, Georgia
Francis Ridge:
In 1964 NICAP was aware of this incident. It was mentioned in the UFO EVIDENCE
in Section III, on page 20: The exact date was not known until later, but
the incident was known to have taken place in the summer of 1951 somewhere
near Augusta, Georgia. Here we have another instance where Project Blue Book
did not list a case as "unknown". The actual Air Force intelligence
report is now on file (compliments of Richard Hall).
Richard Hall:
Air Force Lieutenant George H. Kinmon, Jr., a World War II
combat veteran, was flying an F-51 out of Lawson AFB, Georgia, at 1340 hours
when a white, disc-shaped UFO ("completely round and spinning in a clockwise
direction") confronted his aircraft; at one point making a head-on pass at
it.
