Brad Sparks:
I have the June 2, 1947, incident descibed (in the comprehensive Catalog of Project Blue Book Unknowns) as "Daytime meteor?" Hard to say whether the details attributed to June 2, 1947, really might belong to the Sept 1946 sighting. In any case the only reason I have kept it, in hopes that more details might settle it one way or another, is because he described it as "mayonnaise jar" shaped and at low altitude, though both of these could be errors or could fit a meteor with some fuzzy reporting. The low altitude is about the same as Wenyon's altitude and may simple mean it was near the horizon and could still be a meteor.

June 2, 1947. Rehoboth Beach (near Lewes), Delaware (BBU)

Pilot Forrest Wenyon in aircraft flying N at 1,400 ft saw a silvery jar-shaped object 15 inches [?] in size cross in front of the plane at 1,000-10,000 mph heading E on a straight course at same altitude, with a silver-white fire exhaust. [Daytime meteor?] Sev secs. (Project 1947; McDonald list; FOIA; Bloecher 1967)
