mar 31, 1945 - Summer 1945
USS Delarof: Robert Crawford was the radioman
Per Dolan 2025, possibly a saucer not a sphere, and "summer" not March 1945 (Dolan book rendering)
Dolan: "This object appeared dark against the sunset, circular in shape, and was perhaps 200 feet
in diameter. It flew almost straight up, then made a turn and circled the ship two or three times"
