Case 171, Hong Kong, China, November 2S, 1955-A letter
addressed to the editor of the South China Morning Post gave
an account of a strange light and a jet cavorting over Hong
Kong. It reads as follows:
On Monday, Nov. 28, at 9:4o-48 a.m., another person and I wit- On Monday, Nov. 28, at 9:40-48 a.m., another person and I wit-
nessed a bright light about a few thousand feet over Lyemun Pass, nessed a bright light about a few thousand feet over Lyemun Pass,
too bright to be a reflection of any kind but a source in itself.
First when I saw it, it was a line bulging at the middle, the length
of which was greater than a passenger aircraft. It appeared to re-
main stationary until a Meteor jet tock off from Kai Tak airfield
and flew towards it, seemingly in pursuit. Then the light gradually
became a disc, still brighter than before, moved westward slowly became a dise, still brighter than before, moved westward slowly
as it diminished in size, indicating that it was actually on a south-
westerly course. Now, viewing from Kai Tak, the light appeared to
be over Shau-ki-wan, whence it went on a southeasterly direction,
still diminishing in size and intensity of brightness, until it gradu-
ally disappeared over Lyemun Pass. All the while the light was
changing at irreguiar intervals from a bulging line into a brighter changing at irreguiar intervals from a bulging line into a brighter
white dise and vice-versa, and the surrounding mist was illuminated
producing a mysterious effect. Meanwhile the jet had disappeared produeing a mysterious effect. Meanwhile the jet had disappeared
because of its distance, only to reappear a few minutes later and because of its distance, only to reappear a few minutes later and
landed.
"Now I am quite certain that the bright light was neither a
vision nor anything else but some kind of 'flying saucer' reportedly
seen elsewhere. But I am indeed surprised that such a conspicuous
sight could be seen, excluding us, by none or so few that the matter
did not go into the newpaper, and that is why I did not write until
now, havirg expected that the press got news of it. Didn't any-
ove else see it? Surely the pilot who flew the Meteor jet must have
scen it direc:ly in front?"
Ed: According to my Thailand correspondent, an editorial note
dismissed the story with an Occidental excuse-meteorological
balloon. Please!
