Two Navy Chief Petty Officers, Robert L. Jackson
and William Baker, were at the Naval Station whenthey
observed three disc-like objects approximately
20 miles west of the Station, over the Pacific
Ocean. The officers said the objects,
flying at an estimated speed of 400 miles an hour,
came in from the west and circled, then flew back
out over the ocean.
“They were about half-way from the horizon,”
Jackson said. “They appeared to be round as
saucers and were flying fairly close together in
formation.” The wire service accounts of this
report did not say whether a report had been made
out to Navy officials.
