Two pilots together in a de Havilland Vampire jet fighter sighted a UFO over Kent, UK in early November 1953. This is probably the Johnson and Smythe UFO incident (BBC TV news report, 4 August 2010).

Quote from the article:
“The R.A.F. is now exchanging information on the subject with America.

The U.S. Air Force is beginning to suggest hesitantly that ‘flying saucers’ could be inter-planetary.”
