EE Pious ~ a

Fr ~ At 00552 om 0 February. 1951} while serving as second Plane Commander:
on above flight,. I wes an eye witness to an unususl sighting of en un

identified object, . This oceurrence took place at approximately 49-50 N
and 50=03 WW, which is approximately 200 miles north east of Argentia,

Newfoundlend, We were at 10,000 feet altituwie cruising on a true course

“of “about 230° at tine of incident.

At time of sighting I was occupying the right hand (CoPilots) seat and
the left hand (Pilots) seat was occusied by Lisutenant G. E. SETHUNE.

My attention was first called to the occurgence by Mr. BETHUNZ, who
asked me to look at an wnusuel light which was to my right. I then saw

. that there was a glowing light beneath a thin layer of strato-form clouds

beneath us, This light was to my right and down at an angle of about 45°.
This object appearel to lie on the surface and was throwing a yellowish-
orange clare throngn the cloud deck, It anpesred to be very large and I

A first thought that it could be a large ship completely illuminated,

Mr. BOTHUNE and I watched the object for several minutes in Srying | to

determine its nature, We then called oud Navigator, Lisutenant N, J. P,

its nature,

KOGER to the eocupts to scrutinize the object and render his opinion as to

——_

While further observing the object I aaw that it suddenly started secending
through the cloud layer and it then became quite bright. The object was
very large and was.circular with-a glowing yellow-orange ring sround its

outer edge. This object sdject appesred to be climbing and moving at a tremendous

speed, and it appeared to be on a more or less collision course with our

aircraft, When it appeared that there was a possibility of collision the
- ofject appeared to make a 180° turn and disappeared over the horizon at a

terrific sceed. During the-course of svents LTJG A, L. JONZS had come to
the cocikoit and he made a tum in the direction of theobdject mt it went
out of sight ina short period of tine,

Due to tae Pact % this object was seen over water at night it would
be most difficult for me to estimate svesd, size or distance we were from
it during the course of events. Howev-r, the speed was tremendous and the
sisa vag at Least 200 *o 300 Peet im diameter, The object was close

2» I was in the cabin of the plane checking the rassengers when one of the
navigatcrs, Lieutenant N, J"J P, XOGER, came aft and gpointed to this
phenomena, J watched it for a minute and went forward to the cockpit to get
a better view, Upon reaching the cockpit, I took the plane off of the auto
pilot and turned to a true heading of 290° in pursuit of the object. The
object left on a heading of about 290° true and went over the horizon in a

diameter to be at least 300 feet,

Le My first view of it resempled a huge fiery orange dise on its edge,

off a fisry ime, When it went over the horizon, i* seemed to co from a

5° At 10/0104Z, I called Gander Tower on VHF and asked them if Gander

A. T. C, had any information of an aircraft at that position and time. ‘They
had no such information and notified the military of ur sighting. when

“we landed at Arzentia st 10/9202, we were interrogated by Cant, D. 3,
PAULSEN, USAF, Pepperell AS, and CDR WEHMZYER, ©.0., VP-3, irgentia. The

‘Subs: Report of: Unusual Sighting on Flight 125/9 February 1951

hee I, Graham EB, BaTEUNE, wes Co-Pilot on Flicht 125 from Keflavik, Iceland
to Naval Air Station, Irgentia on the 10th of February 1951, At 00552
i signed and observed the following object:

While flying in the left seat at 10,000 feet on a true course of
230 degrees at a position of 49-50 North 50-03 West, I observed a glow of
‘light below the horizon about 1,000 to 1,500 feet above the water, Its
bearing was about.2 O'Clock, There was no overcast, there was a thin
transparent group of scuds at about 2,000 feet altitude. After examing
the objsct for 40 to 50 seconds I ¢alled it to the attention of Lieutenant
.KIYGDON in the right hand seat, It was under the thin scuds at roughly 30
to 40 miles away. I asked "What is it, a ship lgzghted up or a city, I kmow
it.can't be a city because we are over 250 miles out", We both observed its
course and motion for about 4 or 5 minutes before calling it to the
attention of the other crew members, Its first ae was a dull yellow. We
Were on sn intercepting course. Suddenly ita angle of attach changed, its
altitude and size increased as though its speed was in excess of 1,000 niles
‘ per hour, It closed in so fast that the first feeling was wewould collide
im mid air, At this time its angle changed and the eolor changed. It
then-was definately circuler end redish orange on its primiter, It reversed
its course ind tripled its speed until it was last seen disappearing over
the. bericon, Because of our altitwie and misleading distance over water it
is aimost imocssible te estimate its size, distance and speed. A rough
estimate vould be at least 300 feet in diameter, over 1, oco miles per hour
in a apees and Bese within 5 miles of tke airerart.

“"" Qn February 10,. 1951, enroute from Keflavik, Iceland to Argentia, New-.
foundland as 4 crew member on flight 125 a strange sight was witnessed by
Lieutenant KINGDon and Lieutenant BETHUNE who were piloting the aircraft
at the time, I had keft the cockpit approximately 1 hour prior to this
sighting, The time of the sighting was 00552 and the position of the
aircraft was 49°=50N: Lat and 50-03W Logitude, I was called to the cockpit
oy Lieutenant KINGDON to witness this scene,

* Whe,/I first saw ‘the sight it was ‘far away from us and rapidly disappearing
over the horizon, Not. being too familiar with flying in this particular
area my first impression was the celestial setting of the moon and the fact
that stratus layers were present to cause the bright red glow and the halo
effect that was apparent, .

I did not witness the entire proceedings as did some of the other pliots,
but from what little I did see of it this was the itpression I received,

Subj: Report of Usual Sighting on Flight 125/9 February 1951

We were off the coast of Newfoundland about 2 hours on fliight 125 from
Iceland on the 9th of Feoruary 1951, when I went forward to find out if
the pilots or crew would like any coffee, sous, or etc, When I entered
the cockpit,compartment the co-pilot called my attention to a light at
about 2 O'Clock and slightly lower than us, It looked very much like an
eclipse of the sun, which was about three-fourths of total eclipse,
in’ size, shape, and color, but the speed of the light must have been at
least 520 knots if not more, The distance the light seemed to be was
from three-quarters to a mile away, At that time Mr, JONES came forward

and [ went aft with.the passengers.

1. The following doscribed unidentified aircraft/object was aighted off the
coast of Newfoundland by “ATS Navy 0-54 crew.

a. Originally alighted as a sinsle, heavy, yellowich lisht, similar in
appearance to that of a city, As object approached observing airc: ral, it grow
very tricht re largs, and aopeared to be semi-circular in shape. Near aircraft,
it did a 150° turn and was last sesn as a small ball disaopearing over tne horizon,
The speed was “terrific” and the size "tremendous" to quote observers. The dif-
ferences in size between the time it was first seen and last seen as a small bail
going over the horizon was cescribed as tremendous, at least 100 times larzer,

be Sighted at 00552 on 10 February 1951 anc remained visible for aporoxi-
mately 7 or 8 minutes.

¢, Visually observed from WATS Navy C-54 #6501 of VR-1 Squadron based at
Patuxent, Maryland, flying at 10,000 feet altitude, 172 knots air speed, 225° true
courssé.

ad, Observing aircraft was at 49° 50" N 50° 30° W at the time of scbserva-
tion. Object appeared near the water's surface at qzproximately a 45° downward
angle from the observing aircraft and was making good a true course of aopressentel y
125°, Upon approaching cbserving aircraft, it executed a sudden turn approximating
180° and disappeared very rapidiy over the horizon.

e. Odject sichted by 5 crew members, listed below, of tne ahove aircraft,
who are all experienced North Atlantic fliers. Gander Traffic Control raports no
