The image contains a photograph of an old document from Project Blue Book, a United States Air Force program that investigated unidentified flying objects. I had sighted this object - a bright, silvery, metallic-appearing object - hovering above the ship at an altitude of about 1000 feet. We were unable to take any pictures of this object. "The next day there was an item on the telosc tine as follows: SPECIAL REPORT FOR OCS 2S (CBS FAZ) THAT IN THE NATO MANEUVERS OPERATIONS MAINBRACE TODAY INVESTIGATED & REPORT THAT A FLYING SAUCER PLANE REPORTED YESTERDAY THAT THEY SAW A SILVER CIGAR-SHAPED OBJECT PULLING UP TO INCREDIBLE SPEED AND VANISHED BEFORE THEIR EYES."
