USAF Lieutenant Meyers, who led a flight of 4 fighters P-47 flew at 8° in the direction of 180° at 1,500 ft when he saw a "flying wing" with a length of about 30 feet. At its top was barely visible "dorsal fin".

The object was flying North. Suddenly, he immediately made the turn at 270 °, is accelerated and disappeared after 5 seconds without a trace [subject distance increases 10 times, to reduce visibility below the limit of visual resolution and constant acceleration, the final speed will be about 11 miles per second or 39,000 miles per hour].

Original news

USAF Lt. Meyers leading a flight of 4 P-47 fighters of the 67th Fighter Sq was flying S heading 180° at 1,500 ft altitude when he saw a half-moon shaped “flying wing” about 30 ft wide 20 ft long, with a barely perceptible dorsal fin, flying on a N heading 360° at about 1,000 ft about 3 miles to his E [evidently silhouetted against the surface 9 miles away at a depression angle of about 2°]. He immediately made a 270° left turn to identify the object when it made a 90° left turn [banking evidently] leveled out on a W heading 270° accelerating rapidly to disappearance in 5 secs, no trail [assuming 10x distance increase to reduce apparent size below visual resolution limit, and constant acceleration, terminal velocity would be about 11 miles per second or 39,000 mph at about 350 g’s].
