SIOUX CITY
1/20/51
(McDonald)
The night of 1/20/51 was clear and cold at Sioux City at the
time that a Mid-Continent Airlines DC-3,piloted by Lawrence W.
Vinther, was about to take off for Omaha and Kansas City, at
8:20 p.m. CST. In the CAA control tower, John M. Williams had
been noting an oddly maneuvering light high in a westerly
direction. Suddenly the light abruptly accelerated, in a manner
clearly precluding either meteoric or aircraft origin, so
Williams alerted Vinther and his co-pilot,James F. Bachmeier.
Shortly after Vinther got his DC-3 airborne, under Williams' instructions to investigate the oddly-behaving light, the object executed a sudden dive and flew over the DC-3 at an estimated 200 ft vertical clearance, passing aft and downward. Then a surprising maneuver unfolded. The object suddenly reversed course almost 180 degrees, without slowing down or slewing, and was momentarily flying formation with their DC-3, off its port wing. Moonlight gave them a good silhouetted view of the object, which they described as having the form of a fuselage and unswept wing, but not a sign of any empennage, nor any sign of engine-pods, propellers, or jets. Prior to its dive, it had been seen only as a light; while pacing their DC-3, the men saw no luminosity, though during the dive they saw a light on its underside. After about five seconds, the unknown object began to descend below them and flew under their plane. They put the DC-3 into a steep bank to try to keep it in view as it began this maneuver; and as it crossed under them, they lost it, not to regain sight of it subsequently.
