cluding two veteran pilots, of
disk-shaped objects streaking

pacent formation by the- three-man
erew of a Northrup Aircraft Co.
plane yesterday afterncon.

A Marine Corps jet fighter pilot
said he chased a fiery object for
nearly 25¢ miles Wednesday night
before hetwas forced to turn back
when he-‘ran low on fuel. At the
same time, control tower operators
at Long Beach Municipal Airport re-
ported they saw an. “eerie orange
flame” in'the sky.

The two pilots and photographer
in the Northrup: plane said they
watched the four disks yesterday
for about five minutes until the
mysterious objects disappeared | be-

yond a mountain peak.”

Photographer J Wilkinson did
not try to ‘photograph them. «

He said two of the disks \were
flying. above the other two and es-
timated their attitude at about 20,-
000 feet. .

The Marine pilot failed to iden-
tify ‘the “round amber light” he
chased for some 25 miles.’

The pilot, Maj. Harvey N. Patton
