“Britain ’s
Air Ministry yesterday (6 March 1959) recorded a mysterious yellow disc seen
hovering over London
At least four reliable witnesses saw the ‘object’ between
7.25 and 7.45 p.m.
An air traffic control officer studied it for several
minutes through binoculars before checking with radar operators – but they found no image
on their screens.
One eyewitness said last night it was like the
reflection of searchlights on clouds. However, he added, there were no clouds.
The R.A.F. Fighter Command, which was asked to
investigate, gave this official description: ‘Bright yellow light varying in
intensity. It stayed in one position for about 20 minutes, then climbed away at
high speed.’ ”
