Part 42 (2/2)

Then, there was the UFO over Dayton, Ohio, in the summer of 1952

I first heard about it at ho and it was one of the tower operators at Patterson Field

The tower operators at Lockbourne AFB in Columbus, Ohio, 60in a V- formation” over their base Two F-84's had been scraht now So far, the tower operator told me, the intercept had been unsuccessful because the objects were traveling ”two to three thousand h for the old F-84's

He wasthe two jets' radio conversation and he put his telephone near the speaker

I heard:

”At 28,000 and still above us”

”High speed”

”Headed toward Wright-Patterson”

”Low on fuel, going home”

I ht- Patterson, about twelve ht, although the sun was low, and as I drove I kept looking toward the east Nothing I reached the gate, showedoff as another UFO report when I saw them

They convinced me

Off to the east of the airbase were three objects that can best be described as three half-sized suns

By the time I arrived at base operations there were three or four dozen people on the ra up

The standard coo”

About this time a C-54 transport taxied up and stopped It was the ”Kittyhawk Flight” froot off

One passenger, an officer from ATIC, ran up to me and handed me a roll of film

”Here's soht I'd see one”

The next passengers I recognized were two other officers, PhD

psychologists from the Aero Medical Laboratory I knew the data for a paper they riting on UFO's

The title of the paper was to be: _The_ _Psychological_ _Aspects_ _of_ _UFO_ _Sightings_

Al over each other in their effort to tell their story they told me how they had watched the UFO's fro” between the?” I asked

”Like hell,” was their only answer but the way they said it and the looks on their faces emphasized their statement

The crowd on the ramp had increased by now and some of the newcomers had binoculars The men with the binoculars were the focal point of several individual groups as they watched and gave blow-by-blow accounts
