Salandin Case / Encounter With Disc
By Gloster "Meteor"
Essex, England
October 14, 1954
Richard Hall:
On October 14, 1954 an RAF pilot encountered a UFO over Essex. Flight Lt.
J.R. Salandin of the 604th Fighter Squadron, flying a Meteor jet out of North
Weald, Essex, nearly collided head-on with a huge, metallic appearing object.
The UFO was shaped like two saucers pressed together, one inverted on top
of the other. At the last second, it flipped to one side and streaked past
at tremendous speed. Two round UFOs had been sighted speeding between two
other Meteor jets in the vicinity just before Lt. Salandin's sighting.
