A News-Post Telephone reporter said he heard a dozen similar reports on Saturday evening March 29, 1952, and dismissed them all as hallucinations.
Investigations later revealed that George Mason and John Mason on April 19, 1952, between 10 and 11 P.M., observed an airborne disk 50 feet in diameter 200 feet in the air over Stoney Creek Bridge. The disk had luminescent edges and gave off an unsteady green exhaust. The disk took off with the speed of a jet plane toward Annapolis.
