enroute to his office and before entering heard, one of the local aircraft 
in the traffic pattern. Looking up he observed the aircraft and slightly 
to the left he saw 2 silver objects of either spherical or disc-like ^.-oe 
moving about JOO MPH at approximately 8000 ft he ding about 320° due north 
He immediately called^Sgt Gerald E. Nauman, T/Sgt Joseph Ruvolo and Kiss ’ 
Jennette Marie Scotte. Witnesses ell verified the sighting and the direction 
of^the otJects " 811 three stated that the objects were moving toward Mojave, 
Witness was sure it was not an optical illusion or that the objects were not 
weather balloons since they traveled against prevailing wind and since the 
speed at which they traveled and the horizontal direction token indicated 
that they were not weather balloons. Furthermore they could not remain at 
the same altitude so consistently if they were weather balloons.
• Witness then attempted to get personnel (medical officers) to further verify 
the sighting but by the time the additional personnel had arrived at the “ 
seme the original objects had disappeared due to the speed at which they were 
O  traveling. However,- two of them sighted a third object of a silver snherical 
or disc-like nature at aoproximately 8000 ft traveling in circles over the 
north end of the airfield. Five out of the seven personnel saw this object 
All looked away from the object several times to make sure there was no eye 
strain. He stated that this object performed too tight a circle to be 
any tyre of known aircroft.

* T6 uy in a direction directly above the grot® he asked them to explain
What they saw. Witness states that she saw 2 silver-colored disc-like objects 
toward /.©Jave, Calif, one directly back of the other, et a soeed of 
about JOO to boo HPH at an altitude of approximately 8,000 ft. She listened 
carefully for a few minutes tut could hear no drone such as occasioned by any 
aircraft. Casting her eyes for a moment in another direction and then looking 
back to the same spot she was able to distinguish the same objects again. 
Assured that it was not eye-strain, she wr s convinced the objects were not 
weather balloons due to the horizontal position in wttbh they traveled. Nor 
could they have been birds dince they reflected the sun’s rays.
borne three or four mimes after the objects had nearly disappeared she saw 
another firing object similar to the above-mentioned objects. It was silver 
colored and disc-like in shape. Unlike the first two, it flew in a tight circle, 
neither losing nor gaining altitude, at approximately 8,000 ft. She thought 
it performed too tight a circle to have been any type aircraft with which she 
was familiar.

flying discs or saucer-shaped silver-colored objects flying in a northwestern 
direction at approximately J5O to UOO MPH nt an altitude of about 75^ or 
8000 ft. He could hear no motor roar and was positive that it was not a 
balloon.
He states: "I am of good health and sound mind and. this was no hallucination”

O n tne 8 *]y 191*7 at 11*50 th e undersigned was sitting in an observation 
truck located in A rea fj, Rogers D ry lak e, M s gating upward toward a formation 
of two P-82's and an A -eS aircraft fly ing at 20,000 foot, preparing th e carry 
out of a seat ejection experiment, wh en X  observed a rounded object, wh ite 
aluminum in color, wh ich at first resembled a parach ute canopy* T h e first im­
pression was th at a press tore sjsctlon of th e seat and dumny h ad occurred* T h is 
body was ejected at a determined h eigh t lower th an 20,000 feet, and was falling 
at th ree (j) tines th e rate observed for th e parach ute wh ich ejected th irty 
minutes later. A s it fell it drifted Sligh tly north of due west agonist th e 
prevailing wind, toward M ount W ilson* T h e speed, h orizontal notion could not 
be determined, but appeared slower th an th e maximum velocity F -80 aircraft.
A s th is object descended th rough  a low enough level to permit observation 
of its lateral silh ouette, it presented a distinct ovular outline, with two (2) 
projections on th s upper surface wh ich  nigh t h ave been th ich fins or nobs. T h ese 
^X oross#d M °h  °bh er ®t intervals, suggesting eith er rotation or oscillation of slow

So smok o flames, propeller ark s, engine noise, or oth er clasuabl* or visible 
mens of propulsion ware noted. T h e color was silveiy, resembling aluminum painted 
fh brlc, and did not appear as dense aa a parach ute canopy.
W h en th e object dropped to a level such  th at comes into line of vision 
of th e mountain tope, it was lost to th e vision of th e observer.
It is estimated th at th e object was in 11ns of vision about 90 seconds. 
O f th e five (5) people sitting in th e observation truck , four (h ) observed 
th is object and cede remark s about It. T h ese people include*
M r. L ens - C ivilian, W righ t Field, D ayton, O h io.

Z th ink  it was a manpmade object, as evidenced dictaIntly by th e
outline and functional appearance.
2. It's else was not dh r from 25 feet with  a parach ute candgy.
5. T h e path  followed by th is object appeared as th ough it sigh t h ave

Pilot liuH th  A rnold was flying h is plates at as altitude of approximately 
9,200 feet. H e trimmed out plane in direction of lak ina, W ellington 
wh ich was almost directly oast of h is position and sat in h is plane ob­
serving th e sk y and th e terrain. T o th e loft was a D C -U  and to h ie roar 
approximately 15 miles distant th ere was a 1U ,O O O  ft elevation. T h e sk y 
was clear as crystal. ▲  brigh t flash  suddenly reflected on th e plane. 
U pon look ing to th e left and to th e north of N t. H ainer h o observed a ch ain 
of 9 peculiar look ing craft fly ng from north to couth  at approximately 
9,500 ft elevation and going seemingly in a definite direction of about 170®. 
T h ough t at first th ey were Jet aircraft but noticed th at every few seconds 
2 or 3 of th em would dip or ch ange th eir nasm course sligh tly Just enough 
to cause th e sun to strik e th em at an angle wh ich reflected brigh tly on h ie 
plane. A s th ey approach ed M t. Rainier h e could observe th eir outlines . 
against th e snow quite plainly, bat couldn't find any tails. C lock ed speed 
and found it to be approximately 150 M PH . lever before h ad h e observed 
planes flying so close to mountain tops. T h ey flew directly south  to * _ 
south east down th e h og's back  of a mountain range. Pilot th ough t th ey were 
at approximately th e sane elevation as h e was. T h ey flew in rath er diagonal 
ch ain-lik e lino as if link ed togeth er and semsod to h old a definite direction 
but swerved in and out of th e h igh  mountain peak s. D istance wh ich was almost 
at righ t angles seemed to be between 20 to 25 miles. T h ough t th ey were quite

On the evening of June 12 about 6:15, a neighbor and*I returning hme" from' ' ’ 
another neighbors, glanced into the sky toward the West, and saw what we thought 
v/as smoke from ah airplane. She mentioned that she had never seen that before so 
we stopped to look and listen, thinking we would see the plane. But there was’ 
no sound, so we kept looking until we saw a tiny object from winch the vapor 
was emitting. It was so fab away we could not determine the size or even the 
shape. Its only identity was a glisten in the sun. We had watched this one for 
* seeonds, when from the general direction of the sun, another object shot 
into the sky. It followed the general direction of the first, shooting up and 
down beiore settling to a south-easterly course across the sky, where we followed 
them until they were only a glisten and the vanor could no longer be seen. After 
the objects were gone, we continued to look and to watch the vapor that had been 
left which now looked like clouds but kept a shape, and this shape seemed to glide 
across the sky to the East where there was a black streak leading to the horizon. 
The vapor stayed in the sky for over an hour.

It. Woodruff saw the object or flying disc first and said he saw the thing 
travelling through the sky. 'Ue did not believe him at first but when he was so 
concerned about it we stopped the car and got out. I had my camera so took a 
picture of it. There was a bluish streak left in the sky which could not have been 
a cloud formation. It was a definite trail and caused the clouds to break open 
as it ..ent through. It cut a clear path through the cloud and you could see the 
trail right through the cloud, it looked to be travelling in a big circle and it 
left sharp edges to the clouds. The trail looked as if an object passed through 
similar to that of a pebble leaving a ring in the pond. There was no difference 
in color. It looked as if the object broke and cloud and left this opening.

26 Remarks:


At approximately 1200 noon on the 14 of June I was lying in the front 
yard of my home. There was a lad mowing the lawn at the time. 1 looked 
into the sky and saw ten articles flying from the South to the North at 
what I would judge to be 8500 ft. The objects were flying at approximately
what I would judge to be 550 miles per hour. I distinctly remember that
at the time I saw the articles I mentioned it to the lad who was mowing the 
lawn at the time. I told the lad that the objects were in all probability
some sort of Army or Navy test planes from the nearby test centers on the
deserts of Sourthern California. The objects resembled the pictures that 
I have seen of the XF5U-I, the so called "flying flapjack" that the Navy 
is testing. At approximately lbl5 I went back into the yard- to sit and lie 
in the shade. At this time the objects reappeared going from North to South, 
although this time there we e only seven of the articles. When I first saw 
the original ten objects they were flying in a "v" formation with one object 
seemingly straggling in the rear of the formation, ’//hen the objects appeared 
the second time they were still in the "V" formation although there was 
only seven of the objects at this time. I ranbrnber at this time that I told 
the' lad, who was still working on the lawn, that probably three of the objects 
had proceeded back to their base on a different course. I actually thought 
that this was the case, that the other three objects had probably gone back 
to their base on the other side of the mountains from Bakersfield. I am 
firmly convinced that the article® I saw are actually some sort of flying 
machines although I cannot say from where they came or to where they were going

Saw what he thought was a star but then he noticed the sky was overcast 
so it coulnd't have been a star. It was a glowing object with a cone­
shaped streak to the right. It glowed from white to amber. He says he 
first noticed it over the Lockbourne Power Plant; just southwest of here. 
The object was moving southwest and it changed from amber to red and then
disappeared. Mr. Boudreaux, said the li <ht was what he had been watbhing 
about 15 minutes or so and that through the field glasses it appeared 
to have bluish steaks like a jet effect out from the right. He stated 
that it went out while Capt. McGee was in the pattern. During the con­
versation he said it could be seen again (19J5-19U)).

Object first seen 15° above horizon in Hie West-Southwest of Lockbourne 
emitting a ruddy red light which charged to an amber-yellow at intervals 
not exceeding 1 to 2 seconds. Its size and magnitude were greater than 
that of any star - a good comparison of the size and magnitude would be a 
runway light at full intensity viewed frctn a distance of 500 ft. Shape - 
circular with the exception of a thin wisp of tail extending towards the 
horizon, the tail being 5 times the diameter of the object in length. For 
approximately 10 minutes it remained motionless, thereupon it descended 
to the horizon in about U"> hovered on the horizon in J", then ascended to 
its original position in about J", the course being elipiical, counter clock­
wise. It then faded and lowered toward the horizon disappearing at 1955. 
No sound was heard from the object at any time.
Note: Object appeared about 5 miles from Lockbourne, however info received 
f/Godman Fid and Clinton County Tower plus a relayed report from a 
pilot over Columbus, 0., indicated that they all had observed a 
similar phenomenon in the same general direction and position at the 
same time.
RELIABILITY: Witness spent 37 nos in AF in communicatioi s work including
C. W. and Control Tower Operation. Holds valid CAA Certificate 
for Control Torrer Operator and Aircraft Conmunications and has 
worked at Lockbourne in this type of work for over 1-1/2 yrs.

A t approx 1420 7 Jan 48, D ossier accompanied by L t C ol E. G. W ood went to 
Godman C ontrol T ower to observe an unidentified aerial object. Sh ortly 
after th eir arrival C ol H ix, th e C ommanding O fficer was summoned. A t about 
th is time D ue al er first sigh ted a brigh t silver object. T h en C ol H ix arrived. 
Sh ortly th ereafter a fligh t of four P-51’s flew over Godman. L eader was 
contacted to pursue object. H e assented and th ree P-51’s climbed on th e course 
th e fourth  P-51 returning to base. H igh t leader called to observe th at 
"object was twelve o’clock  h igh ." A sk ed to describe it, h e stated "it is 
brigh t and climbing away from me." H e stated at first th at it was going about 
180 M PH . T h en C ontrol T ower lost sigh t of th e fligh t but could still see th e 
object. (In connection with  th is, L t C ol E. Garrison W ood wh o witnessed th e 
sigh ting stated th at wh ile it appeared about 1/10 th e size of a full moon, if 
th e th ing were a great distance away, as compared to th e diminish ing size of 
th e P-51’8 flying toward it, it would seem th at it was at least several h undred 
feet in diameter.) Sh ortly after N G 861, th e fligh t leader, stated th at 
h e was "at 15,000 ft and still climbing* H e stated th at h e judged th e speed 
to be th e same as h is or approx }60 M PH . O ne of h is planes th en ask ed h im . 
to level off but no reply was h eard from th e fligh t leader. T h at was th e 
last message received from any member of th e fligh t.
A fter dark , anoth er or th e same object appeared in approx 2}4° from Godman at 
6° elevation. T h is body moved to th e west (259°) and th en down. T h e sh ape 
was fluid but generally round with  no tail, th e color ch anging from wh ite, to 
blue, to red to yellow and h ad a black  spot in th e center at all times.
A t 1600 C ST  it was obscured by clouds.
N O T E: later, an astronomer was contacted wh o attempted to account for 
th is ph enomena as eith er Venus or a comet. (?)

M r. C lark ’s attention was first drawn to th e object by M e partner, M r A xA erson. It appeared, to be a black object wh ich was traveling at 
an estimated k tmgk  h eigh t of 8/10.000 ft above th e ground and was moving 
in a straigh t line from north west to south east. It was traveling some J50 M Fd. 
It did not ch ange elevation nor direction. From th eir range of vision wh ere 
th ey were standing upwards to th e object would be at abait a 25 angle. 
It remained with in th eir vision from 45 seconds to a minute. N o sound was 
audible. M r. C lark  th ough t th e nearest th ing it resembled was a flying wing. 
H owever, both  men stated positively th at th ere was no tail visible. From 
wh ere th ey were th e object appeared about J feet in diameter bsmt but 
could offer no estimate as to its size were it on th e ground. A s to color 
both stated th at th e object A ppeared red against a blue back ground and black 
against a wh ite cloud. Ground win^ was about 15 miles in velocity and 
was blowing in a north easterly direction wh ich  would tend to carry any sound
away from th an.
Both  men are pilots. M r. C lark  was a pilot in th e U . S. A . F. for a period 
of 5 years, flying figh ter type of pal planes during most of th is period. 
M r. A nderson was a gunner in th e A A F for 2 years and is also a pilot. Both

O bject appeared elliptical in sh ape and h ad a diameter of 20-30 feet. W h en 
first seen it was at about 5»°°° ft and traveling from U O O  to foO  M PH . Its grey 
color rendered it difficult to perceive at a distance as it blended with th e 
clouds. A lth ough a jet-lik e noise was h eard prior to th e object’s appearance 
m audible sound was produced wh ile it remained in view. T h e tail of th e object 
h ad two points on th e outside area, visible as it made its two left-to-righ t 
circles wh ich h ad an approximate radius of 1/U  to 1/2 miles. T h e object h ad 
wh at appeared to be a cock pit canopy in th e center wh ich extended toward th e 
back  and beneath  th e object. T h e "cock pit” did not protrude from th e surface 
but was clearly visible with th e nak ed, eye. T h e object did not revolve on its 
own axis. It h ad no discernible landing gears nor propellers. It appeared to 
h ave an excellent air foil (tapered from wing tip to wing tip). M r. Rh odes 
th ough t th at th e 10-15 M PH wind velocity wh ich caused a rustling of tree leaves

A t 2O U 5 h ours, 6 July U 7, Staff Sergeant L ivingston's attention was called 
by a neigh bor (a M r. H erman M . Sock well) to witness some "flying discs 
T h e objects appeared in th e west of Birmingh am and were traveling south east. 
T h ey appeared to be 2000 above th e h orizon at a U 5® angle at an unestimated 
distance away. T h ey were approximately 2 ft in diameter, and round. T h ey 
produced a dim glow of ligh t and were traveling at an estimated speed of 
500 to 600 M PH . T h e object (or objects) appeared to be traveling in a 
definite arc rath er th an straigh t* and as soon as one was out of sigh t, 
anoth er would appear beh ind it but not always in th e same path . O ne seemed 
to come straigh t up. T h e view of its source was obstructed by a nearby 
h ouse but upon reach ing th e altitude of approximately 2000 ft it started off 
in. th e same direction as th e oth ers. Sergeant L ivingston says th at h e did 
not at any time see more th an one object at a time, and th o it could h ave 
been one object it was h is personal opinion th at th ere were seven to ten 
objects. T h e discs were silent and appeared composed of a single ligh t.

Plane h ad just passed N eck er Island at 0535 GC ®« A t 0558 O C T  an intense wh ite 
ligh t was observed 60® off starboard bow of plane. It appeared similar to 
th e ligh t of an approach ing plane except th at it was extremely intense. T h e 
color was th at of an incandescent ligh t with out appreciable blue and. no reddish 
tinge. It appeared on a course about 35$ ° true some 5 miles away. T h qiigh t 
grew in intensity (but with out any ch ange in color) to a point estimated to be 
one mile off starboard bow of th e plane. W h en th e PA  plane switch ed over to 
manual control th e object suddenly veered to an approximate course of 109° 
and th en th e brigh t ligh t appeared to split into two parts and assumed a reddish 
h ue. T h ese two reddish  ligh ts did not h ave th e intensity of th e wh ite ligh t 
and appeared about a wing-length  apart. A s it ch anged its course th e extraordinary 
speed was noted. It far outraced th e Pan A merican plane and th e twin ligh ts 
appeared to burn out 30 miles ah ead. T h e entire ph enomenon was observed for some 
six seconds. O bject was estimated to be traveling 1,000 k nots per h our.
N O T E: Both  observers th ough t it could h ave been a meteor except for th e manner 
in wh ich it h eld altitude. A t no time did it appear to get above or 
below 9,500 ft. W h en it disappeared it still seemed at about 9»5°° ft« 
at no time did it give off sufficient illumination to reflect on th e 
cloud formation at 8,000 ft.
Both  observers were questioned as to possibility of optical illusion 
and th e probability th at th e object dropped at an oblique angle but 
both  firmly declared th e object apparently ch anged course and th at 
it appeared to h old altitude th rough out th e entire time observed.
PA A plane was eastbound from M idway on magnetic course 98. wh ich is

Witness stated that if the object were a shooting star it was larger than

sky. It appeared round with a yellowish tail.which was not as bright as the 
circle. The circle itself appeared to be soft of red and yellow and about the 
size of a large dinner plate. It went so fast that it was hardly in sight before 
it disappeared. It was traveling much closer than a shooting star. Witness 
sure it did not in any way resemble a shooting star nor a plane.

Albert Sarans is a twelve-year old boy. He was alone when he saw the 
object. He thought it was flying at the height of a plane at high altitude 
but that it looked strange for an airplane because it was lit up so brightly- 
it was not carrying lights ("planes do have a light or two") It was of a 
bri^.t reddish yellow color. Witness saw it only momentarily because of the 
tremendous speed. "I saw it only for a minute because it was traveling at 
a terrific speed."
His mother, Mrs. Samms, is the Post Mistress of the town and after herring 
her son’s descriotion felt that it answered the description of the "flying 
disc". She added that Albert didn’t believe the thing was a plane since 
"it wouldn’t shoot down like that did" and "besides it was too ’lit up’".

Mr. & Mrs. Anderson stated that they in company with a Mr. & Mrs. Gayion 
Caldwell saw approximately 12 objects flying in group formation at about 
2,000 or 3,000 ft in the air. In size they resembled pigeons but seemed 
to be white and illuminated. They were certain they werghot birds 
as they appeared to be moving faster than birds and they circled the city 
in approximately one to two minutes. Saw no wing movement during the flight 
They couldn’t make up their minds as to exactly what they saw.

Observers saw bright disc hovering and fluttering in the air. It descended and 
rose thru a vertical distance of 50 to 100 ft for some 5 seconds and while at 
the top of an ascent it suddenly swooped to the NE at tremendous speed, traveled 
some 200 ft and disappeared into the clear air - appeared to "melt into thin air" 
as a result of the tremendous speed. Appeared to be approximately J ft in dia 
X 3 or 4 inches in thickness from observers' viewpoint - and estimated as considera­
bly greater/il ^A0 were some 2 or J miles from the object.

Mrs Hedstrom saw the first object traveling at a terrific Bate of speed, 
in a northeasterly direction. It was out of sight before Mr. Hedstrom & 
their neighbor Mrs. Shultz could see anything. While discussing this 
sighting all J saw 10 similar objects proceed rapidly in the same direction 
in the form of a triangle. As they were disappearing 3 of the objects on 
the left flank peeled off and proceeded in a more northerly direction. 
The remaining objects appeared to close ranks and proceeded on a NE course. 
Five minutes later they saw another group of 3 objects proceeding in the same 
direction in triangular formation. Three to 5 minutes another tirangular 
formation of five or Mx objects were observed going in the same direction. 
Then a few minutes later the three witnesses saw large group of objects (some 
35 to 50 of them) flying in a triangular formation in the same direction. 
Approximately 20 or 25 minutes after this group of objects were observed 
similar objects were noted coming back over the city in a Southwesterly direction. 
Generally they were in groups of 3» 5 aud 7 aud followed each other at approximately 
5-minute intervals.
Mrs. Hedstrom then called Detective Richard A. Frazier of the Twin Falls Folic 
Dept., a next door neighbor who wax accompanied by M. E. Rountree and Richard Scott 
also members of the Twin Falls Police Dept. They observed a group of about 12 
objects flying An formation over the city in a southwesterly direction.
Detective Frazier and Mr. Hedstrom stated that the objects were not meteors or comets 
as they flew on a level line and did not appear to drop. XKJayo^Haggaac: 
they could not have been birds xxxktuniigjrt as the objects appeared lighted 
from the inside. Said the limits were not a reflection of the city lights
No other persons reported seeing the phenomena but Mr. Hedstrom and Mr. Frazier 
stated that it was purely accidental that they had seen the object. No one 
noticed any flames or anything except the glow of lights.

About 9 o’clock, well after dark, Lt Col F. L. Walker, Jr. GSC, 
of the Scientific Branch, Research Group, saw a low flying object 
appe.-.r over the top of a barn to his left traveling in an absolutely 
straight line in an arc of about 70° moving fron north to south. 
The object appeared, as a bright orange glow of flame and left behind, 
it a long, straight, narrow white streak of flame similar to the streak 
left by a tracer bullet and. itself, covering an arc of approximately 20° 
or 30°. There appeared to be a fine mist of smoke trailing behind 
this streak which vanished very quickly. The object took about 3 - U . 
seconds to cover the arc of 70° and. then simoly vanished in mid air. 
The path traveled was absolutely horizontal.
Witness states he never observed a comet which acted in this manner 
and was of the opinion that he had sighted a "flying saucer".

^3 ^ j:^C J Li Hi'* '^
Observer first noticed a white smoke trail and while searching for its source 
he saw an object U to 6 ft in length x 10 to 14 inches wide and of a metal 
color which gave off a very bright reflection like highly polished chromium. 
It was first observed, at 1030 position to the automobile. Upon reaching 
a 1200 position it was engulfed in a puff of dark gray smoke about 10 ft in 
diameter. There was no change in the color of the smoke. The object was 
traveling at terrific speed and seemed to be in a very shallow dive. When 
the puff of smoke speared the object disappeared completely; no particles 
were observed falling from it. The point of disappearance seemed to be about 
800 yards in front of Switzer. There was no possibility of being hidden 
by vegetation or terrain. It appeared rectangular for the most part but 
once it appeared to have a very slightly curved top surface. It seemed 
more rocket—like than disc-like# and seemed tilted in a semi-circle.
NOTE: Agent notes that the point of observation would afford a sweeping 
view thru h0° of the canyon and the south side of Webber Creek.
I
 (Switzer was not definite as to what part of the field of view he 
had seen the object and ikx indidated that it could have been as far 
as the horizon./ Any object or particles thereof would be in a six 
square mile area of wooded mountainous terrain full of canyons and 
ravines.
Agent thought that witness could have seen a conventional type 
aircraft which due to the distance from which it was observed presented- 
no distinguishing features for the short period it was under observation. 
However, agent could not account for the smoke trail.

Around 10:45 on the night of 6 Aug U7» Kelly and his wife were sitting 
on the steps of their home when Kelly noticed an object resembling (to him) 
a giant firecracker wnich passed quickly thru the air. He heard no noise 
and the object completely passed from view in a southerly direction within 
a split second. It left a fiery trail for about 100 feet. Hie object 
did not lose altitude so he was sure it was not falling star.
NOTE: It is to be noted that the Snyders and the Kellys live in NE Phila, 
near Oxford Circle (about 10 miles removed from the residence of Miss 
Neddie - Inc 69) It is further noted that the observations of Miss 
Naddle, the Kellys and the Snyders roughly correspond. All seemed 
reliable and were not the t pes to seek publicity or to spread rumors.

speed appeared startup. T h ough t it was between *400 and 1,000 M PS but 
th ough t more precisely to bo from 700 to 800 M PH - too fast for conventional 
aircraft. T h e trail h o th ough t could h ero been smok o, vapor from Intense

T h e bbject took  a radius of from 5 to 15 miles to couplets a turn (h e

th ick er in th e center. H e Judged th e altitude to be between 10,000 to 18,000 ft 
and th e object left no trailing effects. T h e bulk seemed to be th at of 6 1-29’s 
at an altitude of approximately th e same h eigh t. T h e speed was J times th at of

(it seemed from wh ere observer sat) th at th ere were spinning objects of some 
red substance about th e oolor of th e semi-precious report "C ornelian". T h ese

A t apnroxlmftely 2120 C entral time, a ligh t, with  a brilliance sligh tly

be at great h eigh t alth o it was impossible to determine th e altitude. 
It traveled a zig-zag course with  frequent bursts of speed similar to a

it ch anged course 90® into th e South . A fter 5 minutes It turned south west 
and was lost in th e brilliancy of th e moon. A t 2145 C entral it was not

A  call was placed to M axwell Fid operations concerning th e ph enomena and

offered for th e unusual ction of th is source of ligh t wh ich  acted contrary
