I was flicking through a book I rediscovered at home yesterday(I'm at work now and can't remember the title - typical) written by Aime Michel and published by Corgi in 1958.
In it he mentioned Operation Mainbrace, which, as all we UFO buffs know, was a NATO military operation staged in the mid-fifties that was subject to quite a lot of UFO activity.
The cynics amongst us will remark that this is possibly more than just coincidence or "them" taking an interest in "us", but one thing was mentioned that I found intruiging, that I've never heard mention of in articles on the subject before.
Apparently one of the ships that was buzzed (possibly the Franklin D Roosevelt??) had a cameraman on board and he filmed a silver disk overflying the ship at close quarters.
Has this film ever been released or pursued under an FOIA request does anybody know? Should make for interesting viewing and should provide evidence enough that real nuts and bolts unidentified flying objects are flying around, or at least were in the fifties, to me the "Golden Age" of UFOlogy...
