Insufficient Data

Summary

On April 27, 1962, at 9:13 a.m. in Coloma, Michigan, a witness observed a UFO at an angle of 60 degrees from where it first appeared. The object traveled parallel to the ground and seemed to keep that very way to the earth. The witness checked all possibilities of a beacon from an airport and the spot was to faint for a gas light to emit. The witness concluded that either a new aircraft was being tested or it was a visitor from foreign soil. The object was described as one and the course was not noted. The Air Force evaluation is listed as Unknown.
