The whole UFO case report:
“Loren Gross:
March 21, 1950; Kirtland AFB and Sandia Base, New Mexico (BB)
Bt. 1300 & 1330 hrs. UFOs observed from Kirtland
Air Force Base and Sandia Base ,
New Mexico . Objects were silver
in color, size approximately that of a dime at arm’s length; left no trail or
exhaust, had no effect on clouds, and there was no sound or odor detected.
Appeared more maneuverable than any known aircraft. The tactics used were
similar to the change of positions during dog fights involving two airplanes.
However, the way the objects changed position, there seemed to be no similarity
to the maneuverability of a conventional plane. Were very maneuverable, made
right angle turns, also appeared to reverse (back up) the direction of flight.
Another witness, whose name was deleted, viewed two small white objects 15
minutes later from the Sandia Ordnance Area. He said the objects were traveling
about 600 miles
an hour on an eastward course, while adding: ‘One made a complete circle around
the other just prior to disappearing.’ About the same time, between 1:00 and
1:30 p.m., four enlisted men: M/Sgt. Guy Johnson, S/Sgt. R. E. Bedwell, Sgt.C.
D. Byzewski, and Sgt. M. B. Woodward, sighted a bright silver object, round,
and the size of a dime at arm's length, flying over Kirtland Air Force Base. As
the object sped in a southeast direction, the witnesses noticed that it was
very maneuverable. Zigzag motion up and down. More maneuverable than jet
aircraft. Sort of floated like piece of large paper in the air. (Loren E.
Gross, UFO'S: A HISTORY 1950: JANUARY - MARCH )”
