April, 1945 I saw a disc over our ship, all day as we neared Okinawa.

I was a lookout on flying bridge of a minesweeper approaching Okinawa. We were concerned about Kamikazes and I was scanning sky.

I found a shiny, silvery disc at a very high altitude directly over us. I reported it to the O.D. and others viewed it, too.

But as time passed nothing happened and only I watched it the rest of the day. It remained directly over us all day. At the time a Japanese weapons were a primary concern.

NUFORC Note:

Witness indicates that date of sighting is approximate. PD
