Background
At 2:44 p.m. an RB-47 flying at 30,000 feet south of Bathurst Island, Nunavut, briefly detected a UFO on its gun-control radar and made visual contact for 20 minutes with an object trailing 5–10 miles behind it. A second RB-47 some 80 miles behind the first spotted the contrail left behind as the UFO disappeared. Eberhart cites Clifford E. Stone's UFOs Are Real and Tim Printy's analysis of the 1955 RB-47 contacts in SUNlite (2012). 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.
