Initial data
Liaison officer air force MATS Lieutenant William G. Gormley, Colonel William W. brown, Lieutenant Colonel Lloyd W. Brauer heard an aircraft overhead (a Turkish C-47 at the height of 9500 feet, heading South-East to Beirut) and looked for his eyes, but saw a small round (or elliptical) bright object directly overhead.
The object was flying to the West with incredible speed and at high altitude, somewhat erratically passing through the glare of the sun about 15 ° below Zenith with no change in the brightness [sun then at the height of 58° on an azimuth of 231° to the South-West] until it was gone for about 30-35° above the horizon.
The weather was clear, visibility 50+ miles.
Brown drew the attention of Brauer at the object in the last 2-3 seconds. Total observation time can be estimated as 15-20 seconds.
