Summary: Captain Matthew Van Winkle piloting a Pan American World Airways DC-6A airliner at a point
approximately 350 miles NE of Jacksonville, Florida, observed a “burning greenish white round object” to the right of the aircraft that appeared to be on a collision course. Van Winkle then pulled the plane upward in a climb to avoid the object. This sudden maneuver caused some of the passengers to be thrown out of their seats resulting in some injuries. Co-pilot Dion W. Taylor and flight engineer John Washuta had observed the object also. The object according to the flight engineer, was a high intensity light to the right of the aircraft which appeared to stand still for approximately four seconds until it was lost to sight during the evasive action.
