Air Guard At-6 incident. Black disc, standing out against the clouds, made a half-roll and then a stair-step climb. Explanation: Balloon.

Idaho Statesman aviation editor and former AAF B-29 pilot Dave Johnson flying in an Idaho Air National Guard AT-6 saw a black disc, standing out against the clouds, make a half-roll then a stair-step climb. Object the size of a 25-cent coin at arm's length.


An object was observed. It zig-zagged through the air. It departed by rapidly flying straight up until lost to sight.

One black saucer, of huge size, was observed by one experienced male military witness in a warplane for over ten minutes (Johnson, Dave; Hunt; Noe). No sound was heard.
