Flying Saucers Back Over Florida Radar Experts Report
A Pan American Airways radar crew led by Donald Freestone said they tracked an unidentified flying object on November 8 over south Florida. The object zigzagged for about 20 minutes, appeared 65 miles southwest of Miami at 7000 to 8000 feet, and moved at an estimated 4000 mph, four to five times faster than any known aircraft. Freestone and six other radar experts confirmed the sighting, describing the craft as oval or egg shaped. He notes he previously did not believe in such phenomena but now considers it beyond current aircraft experience. The report references giant rockets like the Viking fired last week.
