Background

At 8:45 p.m. Army S/Sgt Ira L. Livingston watched a procession of glowing round objects moving at 500 mph over Birmingham, Alabama. A new object appeared every 5 seconds. Many others reported UFOs in the area between 8:00 and 9:00 p.m. Robert Crossland, a copy reader for the Birmingham Age-Herald, took a photo that shows two round white spots close together. 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.
