1. A dispatch fra* P rague, C -mj, dated 13 O ctober ^55» 
reported tire sighting of two flying seucen er diec-li^e 
sicoumtional aircraft, da interview with M r. M m b, 
we of the fine observers at these aircraft, failed to 
cwf ira in several respects th# iaftmilon siwn la the 
dispatch.
2. Hie obeervatiooS we lintggl to sighting two 
limits which initially arose wticaliy and then s^roached 
the train and pease# ow head at a high altitude. M e 
failed to observe the body of the object aoi had no feeling 
as to whether it was round, dlse-llte or even aquae*. M ia 
only reason for deecrlbing * W BcnoM Btianal nature to the 
object was that it rose vex’ticaUy and appeared to glide in 
a mnner talite any aircraft he haft previeusV seen. However, 
in view of the fact that it vas hM , that he thought the 
aircraft quite high (9000 feet) aatft# his cbeervstloa 
were undoubtedly conditioned ^ W inter SunsU'# maria 
that he had seen a flying saucer, too wadi confidence cannot 
be given to his observation. Ure fact that no noise we 
heard any also have L?iflamced his opinion on the 
mcO T ventional staracteristie of the object. 9s also failed 
to confira the exeitemut of the train official fbllowisag the 
incident. It is ay belief that W oe's totlw alone could 
not confirm the existence of any unsowrentioaai aircraft. 
However, be w# not la a position to have as good a look as 
were the other setes of the party. A very careful 
interrogation of the other ae^ei's la la order.
