At about 9:53AM MIT research associate and Air National Guard Maj. Myron Herbert Ligda and Joseph V. Connelly (plus another witness) tracked on SCR-615B radar an unidentified object heading N, during MIT Weather Radar Research Group tracking of USAF flight of 2 Otis AFB F-84 jet fighters which were heading 333° straight and level course at about 400 mph (IAS 250 knots) positioned at range 45 miles 105° azimuth initially, at 9:50 a.m. Object detected at 9:53 a.m. on a nearly intersecting straight line course heading about 358° [at about 500 mph?], F-84 pilots were warned by VHF-1 radio but could not see object due to poor visibility haze when ground radar showed object crossed about 3 miles [actually plotted about 1-1.5 miles ahead and blips “nearly merged”] in front of jets at 9:54:00 a.m. Object speed about 1,500 mph as it made a sharp right turn and loop of about 270° about 15 g's centripetal acceleration back to the W.

Summer 1964
I was other friends when we saw a shiny disk in the sky hovering over the road. We pulled over and observed the craft. The craft was a shiny disk shaped and had no lights or windows or doors. Then a cloud came drifting by the craft. The cloud slowly pasted over the craft and got swallows up by this cl atoud one point and you could see it in the cloud still like a ship silhouette in the fog. Then the cloud blew by and it reappeared. Then suddenly the disk shot across the road and headed out to sea.(Source NUFORC.org)

At 8PM and for several minutes, a light hovered over provincetown - everyone on commercial street stopped to look up at the light which moved upwards then sideways. It was a blueish, brilliant light. It kind of hung around the monument for a bit then disappeared. I don't know what that was but I can tell you it was no plane as planes don't move in that manner. (Source NUFORC.org)
