Summary

Headquarters, 2466th Air Force Reserve Combat Training Center at Atterbury AFB reports that a Seymour druggist and his wife saw two white, cloudy ring-shaped objects, each with four bright rotating points of light, hover and then leave at "incredible speed" toward the southwest; the time observed is given as three to four minutes, and elsewhere as five to six. The story came to light through the witness's doctor while he was in hospital. The report was prepared by an NCO because no officer was assigned.

Note

The report's coordinates read "85° 49' East," an evident error for West; coords used here are Seymour's town center. Index and inventory say 1953; filename says 1954.
