EOTS Mentions Rapid City AFB Incident
Weaver, SD
Bt. 15-20 August, 1947


Brad Sparks:
As further documentation, the (EOTS) report quoted an interview with an Air Force Major from the Rapid City AFB (now Ellsworth AFB) who saw twelve UFOs flying a tight formation. When he first saw them they were high but soon they went into a fantastically high speed dive, leveled out, made a perfect formation turn, and climbed at a 30 to 40 degree angle, accelerating all the time. The UFOs were oval -shaped and brilliant yellowish-white.
