The whole UFO case report:
“Brad Sparks:
June 10, 1954; Estacado ,
Texas
9:09 p.m. USAF pilot Capt. Bill McDonald, in flight,
saw a white light descend at 45° from great altitude, pass under his aircraft,
make two 360° turns and blink out. (Berliner)
Fran Ridge:
This was a CIRVIS report and listed as an UNKNOWN by
Project Blue Book (BBU 3042). After we found the three documents in the Blue
Book files I was able to find a few more details. There were actually two
pilots which improves the rating somewhat. The other one was Capt. Howard
Hendrix. The aircraft (not given in the report) was on a heading of 270 degrees
when the white light came from very high altitude at 45-degrees going west to
east and passed under the plane and then proceeded to almost touched the
ground. The speed was estimated at 500 to 600 knots, then slowed down and made
the two 360 degree turns before blinking out. Time in sight was probably more
than 30 seconds but the maneuvers preclude any type of meteor or aircraft.”
No radar return of the unknown object was registered.
And no EMI was registered.
