Background
At 8:25 a.m. Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Swigert of south-central Indianapolis saw a cymbal-shaped or domed-disc object to the west of their home. It was about 20 feet across and 6–8 feet thick, white without shine but shadowed on the upper right. It flew straight and level from west to east on a heading of 90°; they estimated its altitude at 2,000 feet and that it covered 5 miles in 10 seconds. It shimmered in the sun as if spinning, was silent and left no trail. The case appears in the Air Force incident summaries released in the PURSUE program. 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.
