April 19, 1948; Greenville AFB, South Carolina (BBU)
4:15 p.m. 2 Lts. Henning (Henning?) and Loomis heard jet
fighter(s) and when looking for it saw a stationary silvery or white
sphere directly overhead at about 15,000-20,000 ft, which looked like a
weather balloon (but none had been launched), and after 1 min it was
joined by an identical object at 15,000+ ft which remained relatively
stationary (about 1 min) then both suddenly accelerated to high speed
off to the NNE in trail formation disappearing in about 30 secs, while
the original object drifted N [?]. Size estimated at slightly smaller
than a 42 ft AT-6 at the indicated altitude. (FOIA; FUFOR Index)Blue Book evaluation: Balloon
