“Two airmen verified each otehr’s [sic] report
yesterday (19 June 1972) of seeing a ‘bright orange object’ about 1 a .m. that seemed to be 375 feet in diameter as it
sank behind a building southwest of their security-police beat at the base.
The airmen, Gary Corley and Randolph Wogoman, said the
UFO (unidentified flying object) sighting apparently went unobserved by anyone
else. They reported it to the air police, and to the Victorville Sheriff’s
Office and Adelanto Police Department.
No evidence was found of the object having landed, it
was reported by the base information office.”
George Air Force Base was located within the city
limits, 13 kilometres
(8 miles )
north west of central Victorville , California
