A passenger on United Airlines inaugural Boise-to-Reno southbound flight Friday, Boise Mayor Potter P. Howard said that he spotted 12 discs flying in the vicinity of Winnemucca, Nev.
A woman passenger, whose name was not learned, also saw the 12 discs, Mayor Howard said.
Mayor Howard said that 10 of the discs were flying in a perfect "V" formation, above and below which were flying the other two objects.
Mayor Howard said he spied the saucers on the southbound trip from Boise to Reno at about 1 p. m.
"The saucers were several thousand feet below the plane," Mayor Howard said. He estimated that they were flying about 1000 feet above the ground.
