Word went up to the lookouts. They tensed up and began to scan the sky.
The radar contacts continued.
This second contact, south of the ship, was held for two full minutes as the target moved out from 22 to 55 miles. Then it faded.
At 5:20 the target was back but now it was north of the ship again, and it was hovering!
Again the lookouts were called. Could they see anything now? Their "No" answers didn't hold for long because seconds later their terse reports began to come into the CIC. A "brilliant light, like a planet" was streaking across the northwest sky about 30 degrees above the horizon. Unfortunately the radar had lost contact for a moment when the visual report came in.
At 5:37 the target disappeared from the scopes and was gone for good.
The Seabago Case was ended but the UFO's continued to fly.
Reports continued to come into the Air Force and a lot of investigators lost a lot of sleep.
The next day at 3:50P.M. the C.O. of an Air Force weather detachment at Long Beach, California, and twelve airmen watched six saucer- shaped UFO's streak along under the bases of a 7000 foot high cloud deck.
On the same day, also in Long Beach, officers and men at the Los Alamitos Naval Air Station saw UFO's almost continuously between the hours of 6:05 and 7:25P.M.
