Emmett, Idaho: United Air Lines Flight 105 crew sees two groups of discs
On the evening of July 4, 1947, the crew of United Air Lines Flight 105 from Boise to Seattle saw a formation of five discs, then a second group, over Emmett, Idaho.
Background
At 8:12 or 9:12 p.m. Capt. Emil J. Smith and First Officer Ralph Stevens of United Air Lines Flight 105, flying from Boise, Idaho, to Seattle, Washington, saw a formation of five discs over Emmett, Idaho, silhouetted against the sunset. Stewardess Marty Morrow also saw them. The objects appeared to merge and sped away to the northwest; another group then appeared and arranged itself in a straight line. The nine objects were seen for at least 12 minutes over a distance of 45 miles. The case appears in Brad Sparks's list of Blue Book unknowns, in three documents of the PURSUE release and in James E. McDonald's 1968 statement to the House Committee on Science and Astronautics. 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.
