The Encounter
The person was a military member in Corpus Christi, Texas, in May 1944. They were called to investigate an object detected on radar over the Hanford Ordnance Works. A lieutenant commander took off to challenge the object while the person stayed on the ground to relay information. The commander reported seeing a bright reddish-orange fireball with no form or substance. The object moved quickly away when the commander approached it. After about 30 to 45 minutes, the object disappeared without making any noise. The person noted that their experience was not recorded in their logbook, and they do not understand why the Navy ignored it.
