WALLACE APR 200-2, PAR 7 UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT At 2000 hours, 29 Sept 1957, during darkness, Lt O'Connor's attention was caught by two bright lights in the sky, about 5-10 degrees above the horizon, traveling on a generally NE to SW course. As the lights approached, he noticed that there were actually two objects, side by side, and that they appeared to be connected by some sort of a "bar" or "bridge" between the two.
