Two flying discs trailing jet-like streams of fire were sighted from the bridge of the tanker Ticonderoga, early Wednesday. Second Officer Claude Lee Williamson radio-telephoned the United Press. The discs moved at tremendous speed out of the north horizon and curved in a westerly direction in a long low arc. Thought they were moving between 700 to 900 M.H. Didn't think they were meteors because they generally do not travel in pairs and usually fall to the horizon. Thought they were "flying discs" Also observed by: Ordinary Seamen James S. Lynde who claimed he also saw "discs"
