13 August 1959 : Corona, New Mexico, USA 
Three small gray slightly fuzzy elliptical objects in close echelon formation
Between Roswell and Corona, New Mexico (at 33°52' north, 105° 6' W). Jack H. Goldsberry, former USN PBY, flying Cessna 170 from Hobbs to Albuquerque, N.M, at 8,000 feet, noticed halfway between Roswell and Corona, that his Magnesyn electric compass suddenly moved around a slow 360° rotation in about four to five seconds, and his other standard magnetic compass was spinning wildly. About this time, he saw three small gray slightly fuzzy elliptical objects in close echelon formation passing in front from left to right and around his plane at a distance about 450 to 600 feet and a speed of about 200 mph. Magnesyn compass followed the objects' position as they circled the plane, and after one full circle they disappeared to the rear, then both compasses settled back to normal. CAA controller at Albuquerque canceled his flight plan and ordered him to land at Kirtland AFB, where he was interrogated by a USAF major. One oval object, about 20 feet across, was observed by one witness (Jack H Goldsberry). Hynek rating: DD: Daylight Discs Vallee rating: FB1: A simple sighting of a UFO traveling in a straight line across the sky. Other sightings in this area Sources: 809 |
