11. BRIEF SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS Observer was attracted by a sound similar to a formation of jet aircraft. The only aircraft he saw was a B-29 heading from East to West, at an estimated 1000 ft above the B-29, traveling in the same direction and at much greater speed he sighted 8 disc-shaped objects.
A group of birds flying at a much lower altitude than estimated could have the appearance of large objects traveling at high speeds and high altitude. It is of my opinion that this was the case since the pilot of the B-29 had observed nothing unusual.
