Inverted bowl glowing bright red, three feet long and one foot high
U.S. Navy pilots Lieutenant jg. Blacky, Lieutenant jg. O'Neil flying on 18° (about NNE) heading at 2,000 feet over NAS Range Station saw to their left an inverted bowl glowing bright red, three feet long and one foot high, with vertical slots, approaching at high speed on 300° heading, straight and level at 2,000 feet, passing 300 feet from their aircraft and below overcast at 4,200 feet. (Red glowing trail?) An unidentified object was sighted, but with appearance and behavior that most likely would have a conventional explanation. One red domed disc, about 2 feet across, was observed by two military witnesses for under 45 minutes (Blacky, O'Neil).
