The Guam UFO at 60

August 14 of this year marks the 60th anniversary of a genuinely intriguing UFO encounter that occurred in the skies over Guam.

A one-page report extracted from the US Air Transport Command’s Weekly Intelligence Summary of August 1947 states the following:

FLYING OBJECT IN GUAM: Unidentified flying objects have been observed by three enlisted men of the 147th Airways and Air Communications Service Squadron at Harmon Field, Guam. The men report that at 1040 hours on 14 August 1947 the two objects, which they describe as small, crescent shaped and traveling at a speed twice that of a fighter plane, passed over them on a zig-zag course in a westerly direction at an approximate altitude of twelve hundred feet. The objects disappeared into clouds and a few seconds later a similar object, possibly one of those previously observed, emerged from the clouds and proceeded west. No further details have been reported.

It must be noted that the description of the objects sounds very similar to the fleet of UFOs famously seen on June 24, 1947 in the skies of Washington State by Kenneth Arnold.

Sixty years on, the Guam incident remains unresolved.
