CONFIDENTIAL Capt E. J. Smith, UAL Pilot, enroute to Seattle reported that he and the entire crew of the westbound UAL plane saw nine flying discs near Emmett, Idaho. At first he saw 5 discs flying what appeared to be a "loose formation." They called Marty Morrow, Stewardess, to the cockpit to verify that they were actually seeing the discs. She saw them too. Then they saw 4 more of them, three cluster together, and a 4th flying by itself, way off in the distance. Capt Smith described them as follows: 5 "somethings" which were "thin and smooth on the bottom and rough appearing on top." Silhouetted against sunset shortly after the plane took off at 8:04 p. m. "We saw them clearly," he reported. "We followed them in a northwesterly direction for about 45 miles. Finally they disappeared. We were unable to tell whether they outsped the plane or disintegrated. He couldn't determine the shape "We can't say whether they were saucer-like, oval or anything else," "But whatever they were, they were not other aircraft, nor were they smoke or clouds."
