I used the "sanitized" version of this report--it it much
better quality than the Maxwell version.
June 14 [23?], 1947. Bakersfield, Calif. (BBU)
2:15 p.m. Veteran pilot Richard Rankin and a young boy saw 10
"almost round" or Flying Flapjack-shaped objects in formation at 9,000
ft and 300-400 mph headed N on a straight level course, then 7 returned
on reverse S course at 2:15 p.m. (McDonald list; FUFOR Index; Bloecher
