Ralph Johnson and John Reilly, two flyers of Mexico, say that on Tuesday evening about sunset as they were in their BT-13, flying about 9000 ft. they saw three disc-shaped objects flying in a northwestly direction, and were at about the same altitude as the flyers. They seemed to be grey in color. The flyers tried to catch them, but were outdistanced by the discs. Ralph Johnson was a Navy pilot during the war and had various experiences while in service. John Reilly was in the Army and has done a lot of flying.
