This Project 10073 record and ATIC summary sheet, drawn from Seventh Bomber Command mission reports, covers a 2 May 1945 incident over Fala Island, Truk Atoll. The crew of a B-24 at 11,000 feet saw two airborne objects that turned from cherry red to orange to white. The objects followed the bomber through evasive action, and one stayed with it for hours toward Guam. Other B-24s reported green flames and red tracer-like trails. The final ATIC evaluation was possibly an enemy aircraft.
