34. Rosalia, Wash., February 6, 1953. A B-36 report, very accurate
sighting description, showing object circled as B36 approached it, and
light commenced flashing at short intervals.
A B-36 aircraft was in flight in the vicinity of Spokane,
Washington, when one round white omnidirectional light was sighted at
0913Z time. The light was
at an altitude of approximately 7,000 feet on a southeast course
circling and rising as it proceeded. It was visually observed for
a period of three to five
minutes. The B-36 made 180 degree descending turn toward the light
which was estimated to be moving at a speed of 150 to 200 knots.
The aircraft was inbound to Spokane 15 miles out and located over
Rosalia, Washington.
