At 12:15 p.m. a huge flat black disc over Boise, Idaho executed a series of staircase maneuvers for 45 seconds. Motion picture filming was attempted, but resulted in poor quality images. 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.
