Sonora, California: Red oblong object hovers, angel hair found next day shows tritium

At 7:30 p.m., multiple independent witnesses in Sonora, California, were drawn outside by a loud noise like “six jets.” They saw a large red oblong object hovering with a wobbling motion. After five minutes it shot upward and disappeared. The next day strands of angel hair were found and sent to David Miletich at the University of Chicago, who described a whitish, fibrous material of uniform composition consisting mainly of carbon and nitrogen and not spider web. A sample tested at the Michael Reese Hospital microbiology laboratory was found to be contaminated with a low level of radioactive tritium. 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.
