The whole article:
“It didn’t get into the papers, but the
Panama Canal Zone was completely mystified by two flying saucers which flew
over the area for five hours and 36 minutes Nov. 25 [1952].
The Air Force actually sent up two B-26’s, one B-17,
and one Navy patrol bomber to try to intercept the flying objects, but failed.
An official cable to Washington from the Panama Canal
Zone states that ‘two unidentified objects’ were sighted over the Canal Zone
Nov. 25 from 6:06 p.m. to 11:42 p.m.
The sighting was made by radar attached to
anti-aircraft guns.
The two flying saucers, or whatever they were,
remained over the Canal Zone for 5 ½ hours, traveling at an estimated speed of 275 mph and maneuvering
from 1,000 ft.
to 28,000 ft.
in altitude.
Since no U.S. aircraft were supposed to be flying in
the vicinity at that time, the air defense commander was sufficiently stirred
up over the mysterious sighting to send three Air Force bombers and one Navy
patrol bomber up to intercept the flying saucers.
However, they were unable to catch the elusive
objects, which made absolutely no sound.”
