Quote from the article:

“Ford (Bob Ford) said the pulsating object changed from red to green and, when viewed through binoculars, had a definite saucer shape. It was seen between 9:30 and 10:30, he said.

At the same time, four men from the Navajo Ordnance Depot reported seeing a saucer-shaped object south of Flagstaff. They said the object was red and green and emitted alternating white and blue flashes.

The four said they too used binoculars and detected a saucer shape.”

“I believe that you begin by defining the field conservatively [based on the tonnage of USAF, NICAP, APRO, McDonald, CUFOS, Dick Hall, Keith Basterfield, Bill Chalker, GEPAN, etc. etc. etc. data ‘in the books’] and then as rigorously as possible analyze whether a new thing qualifies,” Michael D.
