Dr. R. E. McIndoo observed a formation of 16-20 bombing planes over Thessalon Lake, Ontario, Canada on July 27, 1952. The planes dropped objects that initially fell straight down before spurting vapor and flying off at high speed in a southwesterly direction.
“Dr. R. E. McINDOO, 820 West Walnut Street, Kokomo, Indiana, on July 30, 1952 advised Special Agent JOHN F. GERDIS that on July 27, 1952 at approximately 10:00 A.M. while fishing in the back waters of Thessalon Lake, Ontario, Canada, he noticed a formation of bombing planes, sixteen to twenty in number, in two groups flying south at a height estimated by him to be four or five miles.”
