Dan Wilson: May 8, 1952; Atlantic Ocean (BBU) At 2:27 a.m. EDST, Capt. Clayton C. Gallagher and his co-pilot saw three unidentified aerial objects moving from south to north at approximately the same altitude as the Pan American Airlines Flight 203. The first object resembled a landing light but was much whiter and about ten times as large. It was followed by two slightly smaller orange objects with tapering tails which were fringed with blue. The three objects were equally spaced and between 1/8 and 1/4 mile off the left wing of the Lockheed Constellation aircraft and were traveling straight and level. The witnesses stated that the objects were completely foreign to them. Detailed reports and documents reports/520508atlantic_report.htm (Dan Wilson) |
