10:00 p.m. local. A pilot of a C-47, serial number 263,
complained of something following him. Major Frank J. Gshwandtner and
2nd Lt. Robert P. Lommori, flying in the Columbus area in an RB-47E
aircraft observed a white object the size of a baseball at 25,000 feet.
The object was extremely fast. The object made a gradual turn and began
a slight climb. It then flew out of sight. The length of the
observation was 30 seconds. A radio transmission from WPAFB put
the crew on alert.
