Summary: The 8-year old witness was at her grandmother’s house when her mother sent her out to get an item from her car. While opening the trunk, she got the feeling that she was being watched. She looked around but did not see anybody; she got the sweater and then looked up for no apparent reason. She then saw a round object hovering at about 1500 ft overhead. The object was round and had a cone-shaped bottom, with what looked like six rings around the cone. She remembers seeing some movement at the outer edge of the airframe. The craft then shot up at an extremely high rate of speed and vanished. The witness apparently lost 55 minutes of time.

Location: Bt. Newfoundland and Iceland
Time: 3:00 AM.
Summary: The Incident #26 report describes the event in more detail. Lt. George Williams was piloting a Navy Fleet Logistics airplane cruising at 10,000 feet. At first he thought the object was a ship and then called the copilot forward. Nine witnesses saw the object approach at terrific closing rate. It veered to their port side and hovered momentarily, then rose at extremely rapid rate and disappeared off their port quarter. Size was estimated at 200 feet in diameter, flat elliptical or cigar shaped by side view and seemed to be producing a ring of red-orange exhaust all along the edge. The Moon was also visible and almost full. This indicates Bethune and his crew were not making up a story based on someone else’s experience since their’s was 11 days prior and that the Keyhoe rendition (Cmdr. “Benton” case) was probably the Feb. 21 event.
