Date: January 10, 1950
Location: Las Vegas AFB, Nevada
Time: 10:10 AM.
Summary: A man and his father were observing two (2) F-80 jet fighter aircraft coming in for a landing approximately eight miles from Las Vegas Air Force Base at an angle of approximately 45 degrees into the sun and saw an object at an altitude of approximately 1500-2000 feet. They stated that the object was within their vision for approximately twenty-five (25) seconds and that the appearance of the object was pure silver, round “like a balloon” and apparently constructed of solid material, “a metal“. They stated that the object was approximately 25 or 30′ in diameter and that the direction of flight was Northeast by North, and that they observed no tactical movement or maneuver of the object, but that had it been an airplane, it could have been observing the flight of the jet aircraft. They also stated that the motion of the object was smooth; at first slow and then a very rapid acceleration in a horizontal ascent, disappearing over mountains to the east.

LAS VEGAS AFB IS NOW NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE. Nellis Air Force Base was named on 30 April 1950, and the 20 May 1950 dedication was attended by Lieutenant Nellis‘ family.[16] By 1 July the Air Force had directed ATC to accelerate Korean War training for a new 95-wing Air Force. The first school opened at Nellis, and ATC redesignated the 3595th Pilot Training Wing (Advanced Single-Engine) as the 3595th Training Wing (Combat Crew).[13] On 17 July 1950, Nellis began a replacement pilot training program to provide 115 FEAF F-51 Mustang pilots and 92 combat-ready F-80 Shooting Star pilots.
