| Brad Sparks: Oct. 19, 1952; (Pacific) 500 miles S of Hawaii (BBU 2175)
6:58 p.m. Crew of USAF C-50 transport plane saw a 100 ft
diameter round yellow light, with a red glowing edge, fly at 300-400
knots (350-450 mph). 20 secs. (Berliner)
Dan Wilson: The documents say that the plane (C-50?) was from the 48th Air Transport Squadron out of Hickman AFB, Hawaii and flying to Travis AFB, Calif. The 48th flew the C-54 and the C-97 aircraft, so the plane was probably a C-54 or C-97. The teletype goes on to say the object was observed for approximately 5 minutes.
