An artist in Chicago observed a white circular disc with bluish tinge emerge from a cloud, stop briefly, then accelerate southward at 600-700 mph before disappearing within three seconds.
“Mr. KUHN stated that approximately 10:20 p.m. on March 13, 1952, while standing in the back yard of 1900 Graybar Lane and looking toward the moon, which was then in the southwest section of the sky, he observed an object which appeared approximately 20 degrees above the horizon. Lt. KUHN described this object as being circular in shape, approximately one-half the size of the moon, deep bright blue in color, very vivid blue. He stated the object had a slight reddish fringe on the aft end.”
