Pan American pilots see eight discs, Norfolk, Virginia
1952 ยท 24 miles (38 km) north of Norfolk, Virginia, United States
Outside the region. Hind reprinted this case from elsewhere; it has a file here but no place on the map.
What was reported
At 8:12 pm two Pan American pilots flying about 24 miles north of Norfolk, Virginia, saw a formation of six flying discs pivot in the sky and join up with two others, after which the eight flew away in a staggered formation at great speed. The discs looked like hot, orange-red metal. Hind, citing the International UFO Reporter, notes the sighting was never satisfactorily explained and lists it among pilot reports that show how such witnesses, though close to high-flying objects, are not necessarily more reliable than people on the ground.
