Note: This all beginning to sound like the movie Disappearance
of Flight 412, where the two fighters collided on the intercept
mission of the UFO.

NOW FLYING SAUCERS AREN'T SAUCERS THEY'RE GLOBES WITH ROW OF
WINDOWS.
(Yesterday)
In Sante Fe, high school student Fred Richardson reported sighting
a "huge shining globe" over the mountain peaks about 10 miles northeast
of the capital. He said it hovered over the mountains, then put on a
burst of speed faster than any jet plane I have ever seen and
disappeared to the northeast.

THREE JET FLYERS PARACHUTE TO SAFETY AS JETS COLLIDE OVER THE
SANDIA BASE
The article tells about the collision of a T-33 (training version
of the F-80) and an F-80 over the Kirtland AFB on March 14, 1950.
Wreckage of one of the planes fell on the Sandia Base.
=======================================================================
This
was during the time period of many sightings of round
(globe-shaped) objects that were seen at Kirtland AFB (March 21
and 22, 1950) by 4925th Test Group (Atomic) personnel, and
over Vaughn, New Mexico on March 5, 1950. In this case the UFO was seen
by an Air Provost Marshal, William J. Haynor, for one hour and 25
minutes. According to the USAF report, movie film was taken of the
object. There were three other witnesses.
On March 11, 1950 a round object shaped like a ping pong ball was seen over Holloman AFB, New Mexico.

This is just another case of a midair collision occurring in an
area where UFO(s) were reported on the same day.
