Brad Sparks: Jan. 29, 1953; Presque Isle, Maine (BBU) [9:55 a.m. (EST) ?] Three or more fighters (at least one F-94) saw gray oval UFO (from 7th Fighter Interceptor Squadron and other squadrons). Radar tracking ? by Air Defense Direction Center. (Hynek UFO Rpt p. 58) Dan Wilson: Jan. 29, 1953; Houlton near Presque Isle, Maine
9:55 a.m. EST. A small gray oval-shaped object was seen by 2nd
Lt. Fred T. Goetting, pilot of an F-94B fighter jet. Goetting pointed
out the object to his Radar Observer, Lt. Howard C. Kelly. The object
appeared to be 10
degrees above the F-94B which was at 23,000 feet. Goettering attempted
to intercept the object at a speed of 0.8 Mach. This chase continued
for
8 minutes without the F-94 gaining on the object. At this time the
chase was broken off because of low fuel. According to the AIR
INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION REPORT, the object was also sighted by at
least two fighter aircraft from other squadrons.Martin Shough: A nice example of an utterly ludicrous BB explanation. A
"dark grey oval", 3/4 the apparent size of a dime at arm's length,
which explicitly did not shine or emit or reflect light of any kind,
pursued for 4 mins, in bright daylight, on a continuous heading of
70deg. Conclusion "Venus, at 100deg". Stunning.
