Lo11nd•rlng for f h fino,f • om•• colonelcy. A Los Angeles p.1stor wrote
and telegrams demanding in formation
and o ffering advice. One of the :.mailer
airline:, supplied ih crews with ca meras
a nd ordered them to photograph any
saucers the) encountered. A civilian
wrote to the Air F orce that he would
let it in on "the secret" in return for a
fourtec~ minutes, Pierm:i.1A wA
bri(!'ht lights tha t resemh1W ta~
sh~oting stars, hut three o f them were
moting horizontally, unlike a ny shoot
ing star he hnd ever seen. A nother com
mercial pilo t who was reached in flig ht
nenr b) said that he saw a light off his
left wing; Ba rnes found a corre~ponding
pip on the radarscope. Other pilots in the
vicinit\ repon e<l, howeH r, that they
could sec nothing unu~ual. T oward
daybreak, ten pecu~lia r pips were counted
,1multnneously on Barnes' screen.
" There is no other conclusion I can
reach but that for six hours on the
morning of the twen tieth of JulJ there
were a t least ten unidem ifiahle ohjects
movin (!' above \ Vashington," Barnes
wrote: " They were n o~ ord inary air
cra ft. • • • or in my opinion could a ny
na tural phenomena account for these
spots on our radar. N either shooting
:,tar~, electrical di:,turbances, nor clouds
could, either. Exactly what the) arc, I
don't know. row J ou know as much
about them as I do. And you r g uess is •
as good as mine."
:.\ week la te r, at 9:08 P .M. on '
J ulr 26th, the A ir R oute T raffic Con
trol Center's radarscope again showed
unidentifiable object:, over \Vashing
ton. So did the screen a t the .\ndrews
Air Force Base, j ust outside the capi
ta l. T wo jet interceptors, capahle of '
do111g six hundred m iles a n hour,
were dispatched from a hase nea r N e w
Ca\de, D elaware, to 111vest1gatc. \Vhen
the interceptor:. appeared on the radar
scopes, the) were g uided towa rd the
objeers. One of the pilots sighted
four lights approxima tely ten miles
111 front of his plane and slif!htly a bove
tt, but the) vani, hed while he was
tr} ing to o verta ke them. Twenty
minutes later, he s."lw "a steady white
light," hut within a m inute it, too,
disappeared. " \ Ve ha \•e no evidence
they were Rying saucers," a n Air Force
repre~entative said later. "Con versely,
we have no evidence they were not
firing saucers. \ Ve don't know what
the) were."
•\ s a re~ult of these two incidenfa,
pa rticula rl) the one in \'Oh in~ the inter
