The Encounter
The person was a member of the Fifth Air Force during World War II. While flying in a C-46 transport plane from Yoshima to Ewima, he saw three glowing objects in the sky. They appeared to be roundish and bright, coming out of a cloud bank. The objects got close to the plane, causing it to suddenly drop in altitude. The objects then vanished back into the clouds. After landing, the person noticed oil splashed on the plane, but he could not confirm if it was related to the encounter. The military later dismissed the sighting as a hallucination. This experience led the person to question what they witnessed and left him with a sense of mystery about the event.
