Adickes TWA DC-3 Case
Goshen, Indiana
April 27, 1950
Francis Ridge:
This famous incident occurred over my home state of Indiana. The case was
investigated personally by NICAP's Director, Maj. Donald E. Keyhoe. For the
detailed account, see below.
The NICAP UFO Evidence (1964):
Near Goshen, Indiana, April 27, 1950, a bright orange-red disc paced a Trans
World Airways DC-3, which was piloted by Captains. Robert Adickes and Robert
F. Manning. As the crew and many passengers watched, the UFO pulled alongside
the plane. It looked "like a big red wheel rolling along." Each time the pilot
moved toward the object, it moved away as if controlled by repulse radar.
When the pilot turned, the disc dove (presenting an edge-on view) and sped
off to the north toward South Bend.
