Ridge: July 23, 1952; Trenton, New Jersey/Dover AFB, Delaware Area
According to Kevin Randle, F-94s from Dover Air Force Base in Delaware made fourteen different visual observations over a two hour period from early in the morning to about ten forty-five a.m. Only one of the sightings was corroborated by radar (Trenton/Dover area). The objects were at a very high altitude. The colors were described in one sighting as bluish-white, in another as orange, and in a third as just "very high, bright lights." According to some of the reports, the objects emitted a whistling noise. It should also be noted that flight crews from the same base were involved, and later would again be involved, in the sightings around Washington, D.C. UFOs were not unknown to them. (Source: INVASION WASHINGTON, page 64.) Tom DeMary located the BB doc that identified the Trenton case which made it possible to find the BBU listing by Brad Sparks below. Brad Sparks: July 23, 1952; Trenton, New Jersey (BBU 1572) 10:50 p.m. 12:45, 1:28-3:47 a.m. Crews of several USAF F-94 jet interceptors from Dover AFB, Del., made 13 visual sightings and one radar tracking of blue-white [orange?] lights. White, green and blue lights were seen by ground observers and F-94 pilots moving in arcs and blinking out suddenly. F-94 crew got radar lock on at 30,000 ft away of object the size of an F94, at 9,000 ft away the object made a sharp right turn, suddenly dropped in height and disappeared. Other sightings in the Dover-Trenton area. 2 hrs. (Berliner; Loren Gross) Detailed reports and documents reports/520723trenton_rep.htm (Tom DeMary) |
