Summary

In January 1952, during the Korean War, two B-29 bomber crews observed a luminous spherical object moving alongside their aircraft. The first described it as an orange sphere with occasional blue tints and an internal churning motion resembling flames. A second sighting 24 minutes later showed a similar object, though for only one minute. Observers, experienced combat veterans, ruled out conventional explanations like projectiles or reflections. Although hypotheses such as rockets or airborne searchlights were considered, no definitive conclusion was reached. The documents highlight the inability to identify the phenomenon with the available data.
