ford atomic plant at Richland,
Wash.
Capt. John Baldwin of Coral
Gables, Fla., an Air Force pilot
in the Pacific during World War
II who has 7,000 hours of airline
pilot experience, said the object
he and his companions saw early
Saturday was a "perfectly round
disc, white in color and almost
transparent with small vapor
trails off it like the tentacles of
octopus."
He said he was flying at about
9,000 feet and saw the object
"just below a deck of wispy
clouds about 10,000 to 15,000
feet directly above us. .
"All of us have been flying
a number of years and we've
seen all kinds of clouds and for
mations, but none of us had ever
seen anything like this before,"
Baldwin said.
"The object seemed to back
away from us and change shape.
It was perfectly round and still
at first. Then it seemed to back
away from us and change shape.
It became flat, gained speed and
then disappeared quickly. .
Baldwin's report was attested
to by Capt. George Robertson of
Miami, who flew a C-46 over the
hump to Burma in World War
II; D. Shenkel of Miami, a form

Summers of Hialeah, Fla., who
has been flying since shortly

Baldwin and Robertson are
pilots and Shenkel and Sum

lines.

Baldwin said that after spot

rear of our C-46 for my camera,
but by the time I could get it,
the object had disappeared. Boy
what a shot that would have
made!"
Baldwin called the object a
"flying saucer," but then added
that "I've never believed in
them, but this definitely wasn't
a cloud formation nor a weather
Instrument. It was an, object
that none of us had ever seen
before."
Baldwin said the object was
spotted over the "Hanford Atom
ic plant" between Ellensburg
and Yakima, Wash., at about 6
a.m.
This is about 75 miles east of
an area where the first of the
