◆ CASE FILEThe facts, corroborated
Two Wingless 'Belly Tanks' over Redmond
At about nine in the morning on 13 August 1947 two men near the post office in Redmond, Washington, watched two bright, silent objects shaped like aircraft belly tanks streak north-east at what one judged three times a plane's speed. A third witness glimpsed "two silver balls". The FBI's Seattle office reported it to Washington and drew no conclusion. This is the record of what three people reported, not a verdict on what crossed Redmond.
