НЛО. Япония

Sgt. Leonard Stringfield in a C-46 were flying at 10,000 feet, between the Japanese islands of le Shima and Iwo Jima, when their “C-46 suddenly developed trouble in the left engine.” Suddenly, “the plane dipped,” and the engine struggled to keep working. It “sputtered oil” and the C-46 began to lose altitude, dropping approximately 25-50 feet.  Looking out his “starboard-side” window, he was “shocked to see three teardrop-shaped objects.” Looking carefully, he determined that the “three unidentifiable blobs” were “about the size of a dime held at arm’s length.” They were “brilliant white, like burning magnesium.” Flying in a “tight formation,” the objects “were traveling in a straight line through drifts of clouds, seemingly parallel to the C-46 and equal to its speed.” (See detailed report) Note: “magnetic-navigation instrument needles” in the cockpit “went wild.”
