Военно-воздушная база Эллсворт, SD
United States

The Sergeant and three pilots from the 717 squadron of strategic reconnaissance of the 28th strategic reconnaissance wing reported that three milky white discs were between 30,000 to 40,000 feet.

The pilots were behind the runway East-West, when they observed the objects. They appeared between 3 and 4 inches in diameter (at arm's length), moving faster than any jet plane that they saw.

Direction of travel: North.

The objects were seen one at a time with approximately one minute between observations. Each object was observed for about 5 seconds.

The significance of this report lies in the fact that before the observation of a similar object was observed by other pilots on this station.

15:30 two pilots on the Eastern side of the runway East-West reported that the object was discovered at an altitude of 20,000 feet or higher. They had the shape of a disk and was grayish-white color. Each of them had a length of about 3-4 inches in diameter at arm's length.

The object came from the South-West direction and crossed the North-West corner of the airfield. The object seemed to have stopped and hovered over the territory to the North of the runway East-West. He then lost altitude, and then reportedly "brought her back".
