Two strange saucer-shaped discs in close formation at 3,500 ft height
USN pilot C. R. Allen flying F-6F for Fleet Training Center, Norfolk, Virginia, at 3,000 feet heading W, three miles southwest of Fentress, Virginia, saw two strange saucer-shaped discs in close formation at 3,500 feet height about 15 miles away at about two miles NW of Lake Drummond heading northeast, seen below and against cloud base of scattered cumulus clouds at 3,000-3,500 feet. Allen turned right to follow objects as they covered about 140° of arc maintaining about the same distance, disappearing near Cape Henry to the northeast about 20 miles, covering 30 miles total in about 25-30 seconds (3,600-4,300 mph). One star was observed by one witness for under 25 minutes (Allen, C R).
