Background

At 5:30 p.m. a Boeing RB-47 reconnaissance aircraft flying near Melville Sound, Nunavut, Canada, at 32,000 feet tracked an unknown object visually and by radar for 9 minutes. The crew chief described it as "glistening silver metallic" and "obscured by contrails." The crew obtained gun camera film, but of poor quality. After staying low and to the rear of the aircraft at about 4 miles distance, the object sped off to the north. Eberhart cites the Blue Book unknowns list (Sparks), Good, Stone and Printy. 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.
