July 29, 1947; Hamilton Field, Calif. (BBU 69)
2:50 p.m. (PDT?). Assistant Base Operations Officer Capt. William
H. Ryherd and ex-Air B-29 pilot 1st Lt. Ward Stewart saw for unknown
length of time two round, shiny, white objects with estimated 15-25
foot diameters, fly 3-4 times the apparent speed of a P-80, also in
sight, (or at 750 mph), at 6,000-10,000 ft heading S or SE at 120°.
One object flew straight and level; the other weaved from side-to-side
like an escort fighter. (Berliner; FOIA; FUFOR Index)
