Background
At 1:50 p.m. US Weather Bureau observer Stanley H. Brown in Yuma, Arizona, tracked a white, oblong object with a theodolite. It was surrounded by a thin white mist, flew straight up and leveled off. After 20 seconds a second object joined it, flew away twice and returned. Both were lost to sight behind clouds to the south-southwest; the sighting lasted 5 minutes. James E. McDonald cited the case in his statement to the US House Committee on Science and Astronautics symposium of July 29, 1968. 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.
