United States

Jack H. Goldsberry, former USN PBY, flying Cessna 170 from Hobbs to Albuquerque (nm), at 8,000 feet, noticed halfway between rosellon and the Crown that his Magnitsky electric compass suddenly moved around at 360 ° in about 4-5 seconds, and his other standard magnetic compass was spinning wildly.

Around the same time, he saw 3 small gray slightly fuzzy elliptical object in close train passing in front from left to right and around his plane at a distance of about 450-600 feet and a speed of about 200 mph. Minusinskiy compass followed the position of objects when they circled the plane, and after one full circle they disappeared to the back, then both of the compass returned to normal.

The controller CØ in Albuquerque canceled his flight plan and ordered him to land at Kirtland AFB, where he was questioned by major United States air force.

Jack H. Goldsberry, former USN PBY, flying Cessna 170 from Hobbs to Albuquerque, N.M., at 8,000 feet, noticed halfway between Roswell and Corona, that his Magnesyn electric compass suddenly moved around a slow 360° rotation in about 4-5 secs, and his other standard magnetic compass was spinning wildly. About this time, he saw 3 small gray slightly fuzzy elliptical objects in close echelon formation passing in front from left to right and around his plane at a distance about 450 to 600 ft and a speed of about 200 mph. Magnesyn compass followed the objects’ position as they circled the plane, and after one full circle they disappeared to the rear, then both compasses settled back to normal.
