10 March 1950 (The Bend
Bulletin, Oregon)
The article contains reports on
two March 1950 mass UFO sightings:
On 10 March (according to
NICAP.org), a disk shaped UFO hovered over Orangeburg, South Carolina for 15
minutes, then disappeared leaving a vapour trail (night-time sighting) and a
bright, disk shaped UFO was sighted over Van Nuys, Los Angeles (San Fernando
Valley), California on 8 March (according to the website, UFO DNA).
Quote from the article:
“Another flying saucer was
reported yesterday by residents of Van Nuys, Calif., who told police they saw a
bright disk flying about 400
feet in the air. All witnesses said they were sure it
was not an aircraft of any known variety.
Composer Eddie Coffman and
actor Reed Hadley and his wife said they studied the disk through a telescope.
Coffman said it appeared to be 50
feet in diameter and have a dark smudge on the top.”
