ever went up that fast--and besides, the thing was going against the
wind."

The second incident occurred at Salmon Dam, Idaho, on August 13, 1947.
When I heard the date, it sounded familiar. I checked my sightings
file and saw it was the same day as the strange affair at Twin Falls,
Idaho.

In the Twin Falls case, the disk was sighted by observers in a canyon.
There was one interesting difference from the usual description. This
disk was sky-blue, or else its gleaming surface somehow reflected the
sky because of the angle of vision. Although it was not close to the
treetops, the observers were amazed to see the trees whip violently
when the disk raced overhead, as though the air was boiling from the
object's swift passage.

At Salmon Dam, that same day, two miners heard an odd roaring sound
and stared into the sky. Several miles away, two brightly gleaming
disks were circling at high speed.

"It was like two round mirrors whirling around the sky," one of the
men was later quoted as saying. "They couldn't have been any ordinary
planes; not round like that. And they were going too fast."

During this part of my trip, I also was told that one saucer had
fallen into a mountain lake. This came to me secondhand. The lone
witness was said to have rushed over to his car to get his camera as
the disk approached. When it plunged toward the lake, he was so
startled that he failed to snap the picture until the moment it
struck. This story sounded so flimsy that I didn't bother to list it.
