Feb. 11, 1952; Pittsburgh, Penna. (BBU 1052)
3 a.m. EST. USAF Captain George P. Arns, of the 47th Bomb Wing and Major Richard J. Gedeon, while flying a T-11 aircraft from Cleveland, Ohio, to Langley AFB, saw an unusual flying object near Pittsburgh, Pa. The object had a bright comet-like appearance of yellow to orange colored flame. It was flying above the plane on a reciprocal course and as it approached one to two second pulsations of the flame were noted. These pulsations continued until the object passed out of sight. The sky was clear and illuminated by a bright moon which afforded continuous observation of the object for approximately one minute prior to disappearing from sight.”
