jul 8, 1947 - 7/8/1947 Edwards AFB (CA), then Muroc Air field, sphere sighting (Grok rendering) Dolan: "2 silver-colored, spherical or disc-like UFOs maneuvering over the base, circling tightly at 8,000 feet at speeds of 300-400 mph...'objects in question were not, repeat, were not, aircraft.' Nor were they balloons, since the objects were traveling against the wind...saw another object 'traveling in circles'" Ruppelt: "the first sighting that really made the air force take a deep interest in UFOs"
