Quote from the article:
“Flying saucers are with us again.
First report of the saucer came at 5:10 a.m. when
deputy sheriff’s in two cars sighted it over the city of Monterey
Deputies Al Bolman and Jim Mattney were patrolling in
one car and reported it first. A few minutes later Lieut. Thomas Martin and
deputy Ed Atkinson, also in the area spotted it.
‘At first we thought it was an airplane on fire,’ the
deputies reported. ‘But it was throwing sparks and flame from both ends,
cruising along apparently under control at about 1,000 feet .’ They
estimated its speed at more than 700 miles per hour.
The craft swung in a wide arc over Monterey Bay
and then headed for Fort
Ord.
Military police were alerted at the fort, but
personnel were unable to pick the saucer up on radar, they reported.
After leaving the Fort Ord Greenfield
It was last seen shortly thereafter dropping below
Johnson’s canyon east of Gonzales.
At the naval air station at Monterey
Comdr. McGinnis said that ‘considering the large
number of military airfields in the area it is very possible that a large jet
plane was in the area.’
The defense command would not say whether any
unscheduled aircraft were authorized to fly over the Monterey-Fort Ord area at
that hour.”
