Unknown over Rogue River, near Gold Beach, Oregon, USA

Description

Rogue River, Oregon — May 24, 1949. Five people (three men and two women) watched a circular, pancake-shaped object hover for about 2½ minutes before accelerating silently southward at jet-like speeds. Two witnesses were technically trained Ames Research Laboratory employees; observers described a silvery, coin-shaped object with a vertical fin on its upper surface, no wings, no exhaust, and no sound. Officially explained by Project Blue Book as a radar-reflector "kite," though Battelle Memorial Institute scientists working on Blue Book Special Report No. 14 considered this one of the best unexplained cases in the set.
