Holloman Air Force Base - Two Objects with Erratic Flight
Two objects were observed over Holloman Air Force Base with erratic flight patterns. One veered right and descended; the other made an arc to the west at terrific speed. Both disappeared suddenly rather than fading away.
“All witnesses agreed that the object was very high, moved faster than any k»own alreraft, possessed a rounded, indistinct form, and disappeared suddenly rather than fading away in the distance, It was under observation 1/2 minutes or slightly less. +t was definitely not a balloon, and apparently not manned, judging from the violent maneuvers which were performed at a high rate of speed,”
