Background

On the evening of January 18, 1956, at Redondo Beach, California, a glowing saucer came to rest on the ocean surface, 75 yards from shore. Local and Hermosa Beach police officers came to the scene. Finally, the craft sank in 25 feet of frothing water, its surface continuing to glow. A lifeguard rowed to the site, spotted the object on the bottom, and left to organize a diving team. An officer also rowed out with a Geiger counter, which gave a normal reading. By the time the divers arrived, nothing could be seen on the seafloor.
