Adams: “When enroute to N-7 another object appeared (same as the first one). They seemed to get pretty close at one time and all of a sudden one disappeared.” (AF-117)
Jablonski: “When first dispatched to N-7 another object exactly the same appeared out of the east and had picked up speed in a path moving towards the other. Never did see the two join or meet as the second one disappeared and no longer could be seen.” (AF-117)
