Circular plates over England

Summary

In September 1952, a witness in England reported seeing two circular, flat objects, five inches in diameter. They appeared stationary before moving rapidly southeast, disappearing into clouds. The report noted no visible exhaust and speeds exceeding Mach 1, prompting military interest.

The observer, who had attended an air show, confirmed familiarity with the speed of sound and noted no aerial activity. A British fighter had passed through the area 19 minutes earlier but was unrelated. The report was submitted by Rochester police, with clear visibility and cumuliform clouds noted.
