An obscure UFO sighting from 1951 (but don’t let that deter your reading)

In a comment to CDA and Don, here, I mentioned that I had stumbled upon a 2012 documentary at my ROKU account:
The video recapped old (and newer) UFO sightings and had clips of UFO notables (when they were kids or looked like kids anyway): Richard Dolan, Nick Pope, et al.

There were several interesting accounts, including a not-bad presentation of the now screwed up 1980 Rendlesham/Bentwaters case.

But the tale (report) that I found intriguing was a 1951 encounter, in the air, by a Navy pilot, Graham Bethune:


This “sighting” is typical of the period, the early 1950s, when flying saucers were not beclouded by idiotic accounts, as one can see in the documentary’s Phoenix Lights presentation, where only one witness was articulate and sensible in his rendering of what was seen that night in 1997.

Of course, any documentary has a clip or more of faked UFO film and photos, and this one has a few, including those of Billy Meier.

Anyway, read pilot Bethune’s account (linked above), and see if it erases Zoam Chomsky’s objection to the UFO reality.
