At 9:17 PM. A strange blip appeared on Westover tower radar
scopes. Jets were quickly scrambled, then vectored toward the
circling UFO. Flying the lead interceptor, Captain E______,
closed in on a large round object, near enough to illuminate it with
his landing lights. The strange machine appeared to be 100 to 150
feet in diameter, and 8 to 12 feet thick at the center.
The pilot noted a green fluorescent glow around the outer edge. As
he tried to get closer, the weirdly glowing disc, climbed steeply, the
disappeared in the night at 30,000 feet. The report named a tower
operator and radioman,
besides the jet pilot.(Reference: Donald Keyhoe, FLYING SAUCERS: Top Secret,
pages 78-79.)
