December 6, 1950 — Fort Myers, FL
5:00 p.m. Former aircraft purchasing agent Harry Lamp and four boys spot a 75-foot silver object hovering at 3,000 feet above the northern part of Fort Myers, Florida. Through 10x binoculars Lamp sees it is 3–4 feet thick at the edges and 14 feet thick in the center, which revolves as it hovers. The object has a red rim with two white and two orange jets along it. It flies away at high speed. [Eberhart]
