Palmdale, CA abduction report — June 4, 1989

On June 4, 1989, a security guard and an air-traffic controller associated with Air Force Plant 42 at Palmdale, California, reported an unusual aerial observation during B-1B testing. A silver object and three smaller spheres were described above the test activity. The available account identifies the two occupational viewpoints but supplies no names, distances or continuous flight path. The smaller objects were associated with the larger one in the observation, without a measured explanation of their relationship. An abduction story circulated in connection with the report, but no taking, absence or onboard experience is actually described in the available account. The witnesses' described experience was the aerial observation above the test activity.
