Multiple residents of Twin Falls, Idaho, including Mr. and Mrs. H.H. Hedstrom and Mrs. Henry Shultz, observed numerous groups of objects flying in formation on August 19, 1947, with appearances in triangular and other formations.
“He said that Mrs. HEDSTROM suddenly shouted and pointed to the sky and thereafter stated that she had seen an object traveling at a terrific rate of speed in a northeasterly direction. While they were discussing what Mrs. HEDSTROM had seen, approximately ten minutes later all three saw ten similar objects proceeding rapidly in the same direction in the form of a triangle.”
