J., to Detroit. Capt. Peter Killian of Syosset, N. Y., who has flown passenger planes for 15 years, said "I have never seen anything like it before." Killian said other members of the crew and the 35 passengers also saw the flying objects. The plane left Newark at 7:10 p. m. Killian and co-pilot John Dee of Nyack, N. Y., said they lost the three strange objects in the haze when they started their descent for landing at Detroit's Metropolitan Airport while the plane was over Cleveland, Ohio. The three bright whitish lights first were sighted while the plane was flying at 8500 feet between Philipsburg and Bradford, Pa., at 8:45 p. m.
