1947 - Morristown, New Jersey. On the morning of July 10, 1947, John H. Janssen, editor of the Daily Record (an American aviation journal) was flying his own plane from Morristown Airport in New Jersey.
He spotted six, luminous spherical craft with hazy rings around them flying in a trail high in the sky above him.
He grabbed his camera and shot a picture.
He was only able to get four of the six objects in the image frame.
Two weeks later, on July 23rd, he had another encounter of what looked to him like the same or very similar aircraft.
He was again flying his airplane out of Morristown, and was at 6,000 ft.
