Initial data
Test pilots Hughes Aircraft, Englert and Peterson, flying on bomber B-25 at the test site with the ESE air speed 170 mph [true airspeed about 200 mph] at a height of 7,000 ft, saw a metallic object in the shape of a pencil in horizontal orientation at a height of over 30,000 feet. They watched it for an unspecified period of time, while climbing to 11,000 ft and made 30° turn to try better to consider the object.
Peterson, also a fighter pilot in the National guard F-86, tried to intercept him, but was unable to establish radio contact. Aircraft from the USN's seemed to have passed under object without noticing it.

Original news
Hughes Aircraft test pilots Englert and Peterson, flying a B-25 bomber on a maintenance test hop heading ESE airspeed 170 mph [true airspeed about 200 mph] at 7,000 ft, saw a metallic, pencil-shaped object in horizontal orientation hover at above 30,000 ft for an unstated length of time while they climbed to 11,000 ft and made 30° turns to try to get a better view of object [over 4+ mins at max climb rate of about 1,000 ft/min]. Peterson, also a National Guard F-86 jet pilot, attempted to scramble jet intercept from Van Nuys National Guard Ops but could not establish radio contact (EM??). USN aircraft from the S seemed to pass under object without noticing it.
