In 1952 I was stationed at Barksdale AFB in Shreveport La. about 6 AM this cigar shaped UFO, about 100 yds long, approached about 800 to a 1000 feet in the air, it had port holes every 10 feet or so. it came in toward me, turned sideways, remained motionless for about 2 minuets or so, then turned arround and sped off in the direction it came from. I went to the expermental hanger at Barksdale, and asked the guard if I could have a look insids, He sid "NO" then I told him what I saw, he said he had seen the same thing, at which time he opened the man door and said " have a look, we have some goofey looking stuff, but nothing like that."
