July 26, 1952; Hampton, and bet. Newport News and Langley AFB, Va. (BBU)

12:52 a.m. (radar) At 12:15 a.m. EST, a luminous rotating object was sighted by many witnesses over and  near Newport News, Virginia. The object was apparently at a height of approximately 1500-2000 feet over the James River Bridge. At around 1:45 a.m., two airmen on duty at the Langley AFB Control Tower saw a bluish colored object to the WSW at 240 degrees azimuth. This was in the same general direction as the sightings at Newport News. This object moved straight up. Earlier at 12:52 a.m., the Naval Radar at Norfolk said they detected four objects that seemed to be stationary. This contact was maintained for 4 minutes. At around 1:25 a.m. two F-94 fighters from the 148th Fighter Interceptor Squadron were scrambled from Salisbury ADIZ, Fort Eustis, Va., and they reported radar contact at 10,000 feet with four objects in a V-formation. Contact was lost after about three 3 minutes.
