Initial data
On 10 February, the flight of the US Navy "Atlantic - Continental air transport squadron", located on the USN airfield on the Patuxent river in Maryland , was out of Keflavik (Iceland), at 49-50 degrees North latitude and 50-03 degrees West longitude about 150 kilometers [90 miles] West of gander (Newfoundland), across the Atlantic ocean .
The plane probably had to refuel in Gander, judging by his position and the true course of 230 degrees, although the report does not say this.
Us naval reserve Lieutenant Graham Bethune, copilot of flight 125, was ranked captain on the left side of the cockpit in the passenger plane when he first saw a huge object with a diameter of not less than 300 feet next to his plane.
The copilot stated in his official report:
"I watched the glow under the horizon at the altitude from 1,000 to 1,500 feet [330-470 meters] above the water. We both watched his movement for 4 or 5 minutes before to attract the attention of other crew members..."
Suddenly, his angle of flight changed. Its altitude and size increased as though its speed was more than 1000 miles [1670 kilometers] per hour. He was approaching so fast that the first feeling was that we would face in the air.
At this time, changed his angle of movement and color. Then he went round and reddish-orange on the perimeter. It changed its course and tripled its speed until it disappeared over the horizon.
Further, the communication of the second pilot stated that the object was five miles from their plane, which was confirmed by radar evidence of a collision because the object was tracked by ground radar DEW lines at the base in goose Bay (Labrador).

Original news
On February 10, a US Navy flight, Atlantic – Continental Air Transport Squadron one, located at USN Air Station,Patuxent River, Maryland, was out of Keflavik, Iceland at 49-50 degrees north latitude and 50-03 degrees west longitude about 150 kilometers [90 miles] west of Gander, Newfoundland out over the Atlantic Ocean.
The aircraft was probably bound for Gander to refuel judging by its position and course of 230 degrees true, though the report does not mention this.
US Naval Reserve Lieutenant Graham Bethune, co-pilot of Flight 125, was occupying the captain’s seat on the left side of the cockpit in the passenger plane when he first sighted a huge object [at least] 300 feet in diameter on a near collision course with their aircraft.
The co-pilot stated in his official report,… I observed a glow of light below the horizon about 1,000 to 1,500 feet [330-470 meters] above the water. We both [the pilot as well] observed its course and motion for about 4 or 5 minutes before calling it to the attention of the other crew members…
Suddenly its angle of attack changed.
Its altitude and size increased as though its speed was in excess of 1,000 miles [1,670 kilometers] per hour. It closed in so fast that the first feeling was we would collide in midair.
At this time, its angle changed and the color changed. It then [appeared] definitely circular and reddish orange on its perimeter. It reversed its course and tripled its speed until it was last seen disappearing over the horizon.
The co-pilot’s report goes on to say that the object came within five miles of their aircraft which was borne out by radar evidence of the encounter because the object had been tracked by DEW Line Ground Radar at the base in Goose Bay, Labrador.

Maj. Donald E. Keyhoe:
When the plane landed, the entire crew was interrogated by AF Intelligence officers. At their destination, Patuxent Naval Air Station in Maryland, the pilot and the rest were questioned again by Naval Intelligence and required to sign full reports.
Later, a government scientist (supposedly from the CIA) confidentially showed the pilot secret UFO photos – one portraying a disc like the one over the Atlantic.
In a final interview, the commander was interviewed by Air Technical Intelligence officers at Wright-Patterson AFB. But none of the Navy or Air Force men, or the government scientist, would answer any questions about the UFOs.
