[Current Encounters] Chiles-Whitted time and Meteor Trajectory and [Current Encounters] Important docs vscomilations/ Chiles-Whitted

The Chiles-Whitted UFO encounter occurred around 2:45 AM on July 24, 1948 near Montgomery Alabama. Two pilots Chiles and Whitted observed a glowing object pass by their plane before it appeared to go into the cloud and leave their sight. This incident is considered one of the three "classic" UFO incidents, that was convincing to the personnel of Project Sign that UFOs were real. In 1959 Project Blue Book formally stated that a meteor was the cause of the incident.
