LRG Carl Y. Edwards AF-14215231 T/Set At 1900GCT 2 February 1953 I was in the CFC gunner's position of B-50 type aircraft No. 9365 flying at an altitude of 25,000 feet. I was searching for fighter attacks from F-86 aircraft which were in the area. I1 sawa B-52 at (3). three o'clock high. As this aireraft passed, I noticed a silver object in its wake. I ealled on the interphone. "Does anyone see that silver object behind that B-52?" I was answered by my right gunner saying, "yes". Neither one of us could identify the object. We both took gun camera nictures to confirm the sighting. The object looked like a silver disk, first showing its circular side and then the flat side. It first appeared high at (3) three o'clock and was left high at (4:30) four thirty. I watched until it went out of sight. CARL DWARDS é j ot dl Pe y| F ee ¥) a: ee ay. fA e LA ey 2 UA .
