The Encounter
In June 1942, a bomber pilot was on a mission over the Zoider Sea in Holland. During the return flight, the rear gunner reported an approaching aircraft. The pilot prepared to fire, thinking it might be a German fighter. When the object came closer, it appeared very large, almost the size of the moon. The rear gunner fired tracers at the object, but the bullets seemed to enter without falling. This lasted for about two minutes. The object then changed position quickly and hovered nearby. The pilot ordered the gunners to fire again, but the tracers again entered the object without effect. Finally, the object took off at a steep angle and vanished among the stars. The pilot did not mention any lasting impact from this encounter.
