Background
At 10:11 p.m. an unidentified illuminated object was seen above the Second Army Radio Station at Fort George G. Meade, Maryland, by the supervisor radio operator and two coworkers, Cpl. Flath and Pfc. Hough. They described it as round, the color of the sun and three to four times the size of a star. The object appeared in the southwest, blinking on and off. When it reached the station it stopped blinking and disappeared by going straight up. The sighting lasted 7 minutes. Eberhart cites Loren E. Gross (UFOs, a History: 1954, January–May) and Timothy Good's Above Top Secret. 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.
