(CST) USAF officer Earl D. Holwadel, piloting T-33 jet, and an unnamed officer in the back seat during a night flight heading 50° at 18,000 feet, were 58 miles northwest of Monroe, Louisiana. They saw a bright light due east, then saw it again in the east at 11:15 p.m. Holwadel banked right to the southeast somewhat behind the object now seen in the southeast at great distance. Object suddenly came straight at them at high speed passing in front of the T-33 at about 225 feet away under the "nose" of the object, no jet wash, on a heading of 330° when the object flashed an intensely bright white light from a "greenhouse-shaped dome" or cockpit window at its front end that lit up the canopy of the T-33. Object about 30-40 feet long, elliptical in shape, shorter than a C-47 but wider, a small steady red running light in the center, with no wings, only stubby protrusions extending three to four feet and 25 feet long on each side, bottom surface like steel with ribs extending down 2-4 feet with a wave-like appearance. Object moved away then returned at high speed on a west course with "fantastic" maneuverability never changing flight attitude at any time.

One green-red oval object, , was observed in cloudy weather by two male military witnesses, one of them an experienced observor, in-flight for over ten minutes.
