A border patrolman saw a bright, shiny disk on its edge, 10 meters in diameter, 5 meters high, floating down the side of a hill, wobbling from side to side 3 meters above the ground. It reached the valley floor, climbed to about 30 meters, and moved across to a small reservoir where it assumed a horizontal position. A dome then became visible on top of the disk. It hovered for one minute and seemed about to land less than 80 meters away, but instead tilted back on edge and flew into the clouds at high speed.

Lt. George Gorman of the North Dakota Air National Guard sighted a UFO while coming in for a landing in his F51. He gave chase, and found himself in something of a dogfight with a lighted object. The official explanation was that he was seeing a lighted balloon part of the time and the planet Jupiter at other times.
