(McDonald)
United Flight 105, piloted by Captain Emil J. Smith, had left
Boise at 9:04 p.m. About eight minutes out, en route to Seattle,
roughly over Emmett, Idaho, Co-pilot Stevens, who spotted the
first of two groups of objects, turned on his landing lights
under the initial impression the objects were air craft. But,
studying them against the twilight sky, Smith and Stevens soon
realized that neither wings nor tails were visible on the five
objects ahead. After calling a stewardess, in order to get a
third confirming witness, they watched the formation a bit
longer, called Ontario, Oregon CAA to try to get ground-
confirmation, and then saw the formation spurt ahead and
disappear at high speed off to the west.
Almost immediately after they lost sight of the first five, a
second formation of four (three in line and a fourth off to the
side)moved in ahead of their position, again travelling westward
but at a somewhat higher altitude than the DC-3's 8000 ft. These
passed quickly out of sight to the west at speeds which they
felt were far beyond then-known speeds.

(Bluebook)
12 noon. Witness: Henry Clark, manager of a flying service,
flying a Piper Clipper. Seven delta-shaped objects, 35-55' in
span, 20-30' long, 2-5' thick; light colored except for a 12'
diameter dark circle at the rear of each. They flew in a tight
formation of twos with one behind, and made a perfect, but
unbanked, turn. During the 10 minute sighting, they displayed
decreasing smooth oscillations. Clark's engine ran rough during
the sighting, and upon landing was found to have all its spark
plugs burned out.

(Magonia)
Two civilians returning from a sporting event observed what they
first thought was the moon. After driving for about 1 km, they
saw that it was a flat, well-defined object, which had blocked
the road. The object was the size of a truck and cast an intense
yelow-orange light on the ground. The witnesses turned their
vehicle around and drove back to Rexburg.
