Incident No. 134 -- 28 May 1948, 1500 Hours, Monroe, Michigan. One passenger in a C-47 at 8000 ft observed three disc-like objects and later two more (another observer saw only the two). The objects appeared to descend from above, level off at altitude of C-47 and travel in the opposite direction at great speed. They left no trail, were disc shaped and were "silvery-gold" or "shiny brass" in color. One observer said they were 300-400 feet across with well rounded contours, the other said they were four feet in size. The first observer later said all had a hazy or fuzzy outline. There was an overcast at 13,000 feet and a thin, broken stratus layer at 3000 feet, the level of the aircraft.
AMC Opinion: Dr. Lynck suggests these individuals could have seen successive shafts of sunlight through breaks in the high overcast illuminating portions of the lower cloud stratum. Apparent speed could be a combination of projected motion of the break in the overcast and the velocity of the C-47. This explanation partially fits the contradictory evidence.
