Los Alamos, New Mexico: More than 15 people watch UFO, scientist sees metallic disc
On 17 April 1950, more than 15 people at Los Alamos, New Mexico, watched a UFO for 20 minutes on the eastern horizon; a scientist viewing it through a telescope described a flat, circular, metallic object.
Background
More than 15 people at Los Alamos, New Mexico, reported seeing a UFO for 20 minutes at about 2,000 feet on the eastern horizon. One scientist watched the object through a telescope and said it looked flat, circular, metallic and roughly 9 feet in diameter. It moved faster than any conventional aircraft. The case is cited in Sparks's catalog of Blue Book unknowns and by Loren E. Gross. 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.
