| Don Berliner: Feb. 1956; Nr. Fishguard, SW Wales Evening. A man considered in some circles to be the greatest test pilot of all time, Eric "Winkle" Brown, of the Royal Navy described a disc sighting he made in February 1956 (perhaps located in the vicinity of Fishguard, in SW Wales). He was flying a deHavilland Vampire jet fighter, and could not climb to the saucer's altitude or catch it. Detailed reports and documents reports/5602XXfishguard_report.htm (Don Berliner) |
