ACUFO-1943-00-00-BURMA-1
In the 1990 and 2000's, books and web sources that are not much credited for reliability claimed that in 1943, in Burma, US bomber pilots flying missions from Burma to China reported being buzzed and circled by ‘glittering’ object, and that instruments "failed to operate until the objects flew off."
No earlier source was being given and I found none.

The sources available to me for now do not indicate any earlier sources, the information is extremely poor.
I found no other information about this alleged case.
Totally insufficient information, no credibility.
* = Source is available to me.
