A black cylindrical object appears over P-38s dog fighting
In July of 1944 my brother and I saw a craft that we thought was a secret flying machine of the Army Air Corps. We were watching P-38s dog fighting over the aera of Lowery Park which is in North Tampa, when suddenly appeared over the P-38s, a very large black object that looked like a big piece of pipe. The P-38s quit dog fighting and quickly returned to base. The black object made several maneuvers and flew of very quickly. It would be years before I would realize that I had seen something very unusual and no doubt a UFO.
