At 9:10 a.m. on 30 June 1947, Naval Lt. William G. McGinty, flying a P-80 from Williams AFB near the Grand Canyon, Arizona, saw two circular objects dive at great speed and land about 25 miles south of the canyon.
Background
At 9:10 a.m. Naval Lt. William G. McGinty was flying a P-80 from Williams AFB (now Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport), Arizona, near the Grand Canyon. He observed two circular objects diving at what was described as inconceivable speed. The objects landed about 25 miles south of the canyon. The case is listed by NICAP and Bloecher and appears in case files of the PURSUE release. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
