On 21 November 1951, saucers again
appeared when guided missiles were being flown:
“Two engineers watching test flights in
the Nevada desert were startled by the
sudden appearance of ‘two
day stars1,’
spiralling round a guided missile. They
appeared to examine it and
then vanish. About this time far across the
Rockies, one Guy Marquand,
with two friends, was in a car on a road in the hills near
Riverside, Calif., where,
close by, mysterious explosions have occurred in orange
groves. On a (sic-All of a) sudden, a thing like [a] 'flying cap' flew overhead, veered
round, and flew back.
Marquand photographed the aeroform. I have seen the
picture,
which is blurred, but
suggests a very large bird, like the roc in the 'Arabian Night[s].'
On the same day, an unidentified, burning object
fell into the Pacific off the coast of
California.”

Note 1: “Two
day stars,” I believe, refer to two glowing points of light, as “stars” would
not be seen during the day, which is the normal time for test missile
launches.
