8 p.m. USAF crews of 2 B-25's saw a round white object make rapid maneuvers, effects on radio and compass. (Weinstein) Dan Wilson: Jan. 16, 1957; NW of Fort Worth, Texas (BBU) 8:00 p.m. CST. Two B-25 aircraft within a few miles of each other observed one round object alternating bright and dim white light and appeared to give off sparks. The object was the apparent size of a grapefruit held at arm's length and maneuvered vertically and laterally at very high speed. A B-25 aircraft was dispatched to search. After four hours, negative results. Mike Swords: My take on this issue is that the only
documentation that we have here with details is
Wright's report to McDonald. No good government
documentation. Wright says that the thing affected
the "radio compass", and no mention is made of
"radios" nor regular "compasses". BUT since the
"radio compass" is a device for detecting radio
signals and then orienting towards them, it seems
legit to still list this case as an electromagnetic
effects case. Concerning the lost records idea, it
almost has to be true that the details about this
case were taken which never made it to Blue Book or
got "lost" there.
