Background

At 7:30 a.m. a witness saw a UFO hovering 300 to 400 feet above the Douglas Aircraft plant in Santa Monica, California, and called the West Los Angeles police station. Desk Officer Don Anderson went outside and saw a dark triangular object moving slowly to the northeast at about 3,000 feet. It disappeared in the vicinity of Santa Monica Boulevard and Beverly Glen Street. The San Pedro News-Pilot and the Springfield Daily News reported the sighting the same day. 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.
