The reader can see the holes in this story from some distance
away. One has to ask oneself how big round disks form two
thousand feet away, suddenly turn into little pelicans up close.

This looks to me as if a couple of pilots decided to try a
little UFO bait on the press and see what kind of a sucker they
could pull in. 52 years is a long time to wait to hook the big
one.
