Two Soldiers and a Revolving Disc at Fort Dix
In the late afternoon of 3 August 1947 two soldiers at Fort Dix, New Jersey, reported a flying disc about 200 yards up, revolving slowly but moving fast, and said it was neither a kite nor a balloon. A one-paragraph entry in a released Air Force compilation is all the record holds, and it gives no conclusion. This is the record of what the two soldiers reported, not a verdict on what crossed Fort Dix.
