June 6, 1956 — Banning, CA
6:30 a.m. A cosmetics salesman named Bierman is driving on US Highway 70 about 3–5 miles west of Banning, California, when he notices an object on his right, about 300 feet away and 100 feet in the air. It first appears silvery and cigar-shaped. Bierman stops his car to watch the object, which moves across the highway in front of him then banks left, changing to a domed-disc shape, somewhat bluish, about 20 feet in diameter. It re-crosses the highway in back of him, circling back to its original position in 8–9 seconds, then zooming away silently at tremendous speed toward the west-northwest. [Eberhart]
