Maj. Donald Keyhoe:
One ... case, classified Secret, was buried for years in AF Project Report Number 10. The action occurred on a wintry night as an F-94 interceptor, with two AF pilots aboard, was cruising above the atomic energy station at Hanford, Washington. The jet was at 26,000 feet when the gun sight radar suddenly picked up an unknown object approaching at high speed. Then a red glow appeared ahead, outlining a disc- shaped machine larger than any known aircraft. As the UFO raced toward the jet the pilot at the controls hastily banked to avoid a collision. The flying disc swiftly reversed direction, heading back toward the F-94. Believing it was an attack, the pilot hurriedly prepared to fire. But at the last moment the UFO whipped to one side. Again and again, the disc flashed back toward the interceptor. Each time, the senior pilot started to fire, but the UFO dived or shot away at fantastic speed. For fifteen minutes, the flying disc kept up this grim cat-and-mouse game. Then it came to an abrupt stop, flashed a red light twice, and streaked off into the night.

I had contacted Maj. U.G. Carlan some years back. His name was Ulysses G. Carlan, and worked at the Pentagon at the time for General Survey Corps (GSC). He said they got reports like that all the time.

The following was furnished Maj. Carlen by Lt. Col. Mildren on 4 Aug. 1950

MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD: 

          SUBJECT:    Flying Discs 

          The following information was furnished Major Carlan by 
          Lt. Colonel Mildren on 4 August 1950: 

          Since 30 July 1950 objects, round in form, have been 
          sighted over the Hanford AEC Plant.  These objects re- 
          portedly were above 15,000 feet in altitude.  Air Force 
          jets attempted interception with negative results.  All 
          units including the anti-aircraft battalion, radar units, 
          Air Force fighter squadron, and the Federal Bureau of 
          Investigation have been alerted for further observation. 
          The Atomic Energy Commission states that the investiga- 
          tion is continuing and complete details will be forwarded 
          later.
