Ridge:
10:00 AM. R/V. During the Guadalcanal invasion U.S. Navy
fleet radar detected an incoming unidentified object which also was
observed through binoculars. When it approached within 3,000 yards
gunners opened fire on it, whereupon the object made a sharp turn,
accelerated and circled the entire fleet twice at very high speed at
about 3,000 to 4,000 feet altitude. It was visually observed to be a
silvery disc with dome on top, and portholes around the dome. (UFOCAT;
Ref. 3; MUFON UFO Journal, No. 185, July 1983; tape-recorded witness
interview.)
