“Joe Swink, news editor of the Hugo Daily News,
reported Thursday that he and 15 others saw two ‘flying saucers’ over Fort
Hood, Tex.
Swink, just returned from Fort Hood where he took two
weeks reserve training, said he and others saw two whirling discs traveling at
tremendous speeds in daylight. He and other soldiers were on a field problem
when they saw two objects travel from horizon to horizon in a span of some 30
seconds.
‘The objects appeared silver in color,’ Swink said, ‘and
went through maneuvers no ordinary plane could accomplish, including a 90
degree turn from the horizontal to the vertical – then shot out of sight into
the upper atmosphere.’
Swink said Fort Hood officers said similar discs had
been sighted in the area before.”
Fort Hood (U.S. military post) is located on the west
side of Killeen, Texas.
