Team watches 35 meter disc executing a series of violent turns and maneuvers

Geophysics Lab and/or AMC Watson Lab balloon observers Olsen, Johnson, Chance, saw one to two "irregularly rounded," round, gray-white or golden objects, indistinct in outline like a "major's insignia ... slightly concave on top," one estimated 100 feet size. Both were rising straight up then one veered to the right, dropped, made a large loop, went upward again, then disappeared "suddenly" not due to distance. The other object arced off to the west at "terrific" or "tremendous speed," made three vertical loops or "violent maneuvers" then disappeared "suddenly" not due to "fading away in the distance."


One saucer was observed by three geophysicists for 30 minutes.
