| Fran Ridge: This is apparently case #11 of Major Dewey Fournet's "motions study" UFOs
cases as presented to the Robertson Panel in January of 1953, whereby
he deduced that UFOs were guided by intelligence and the
flight characteristics indicated that the intelligence was beyond
"us". Two Pentagon Colonels in a B-25 reported three silvery triangular
UFOs
sped past their bomber at an estimated speed of 1,000 mph. Official
Blue Book "unknown". [UFO Evidence (1964), page 21]
