UFOs Baffle Airmen Over Southern California Skies
Unidentified flying objects swarmed into Southern California skies on Tuesday evening, concentrating above Long Beach and Los Alamitos. Air Force weather observers and several personnel reported six saucer shaped objects near a cloud base around 3 60 pm at Long Beach Municipal Airport, with others seen between 6 05 and 7 25 pm. Observers described the objects as circular or disc like, shiny, and capable of rapid, edge free movement, with at least one pilot noting flight characteristics resembling mock dogfights. Authorities cited cloud bases at about 7 000 feet and distances of roughly ten miles from observers, while experts considered possible explanations and dismissed a simple aircraft theory. The incident prompted ongoing search efforts and further observations.
