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.”
