It was so far away we could not determine the site or even the slaps. Its only Identity was a glisten in the sun, W e had watched this one for a few seconds, when free, the general direction of the sun, another object shot into the sky* It followed the general direction of the first, shooting up and down before settling to a south-easterly course across the sky, where we followed them until they were only a glisten and the vapor could no longer be seen* A fter the objects wore gone, wo continued to look and to watch the vapor that had been loft which now looked like clouds but kept a aiiape, and this shape sensed to glide across th* sty to the East wheru there wna a black streak loading to the horlson* The vapor stayed in the sty for over an hour. 1 Clim-LTST - W ID SKTinSD FLY IW O OW KTS Cit' M J»ly L/u?

These two reddish lights did not have the intensity of the white llgRV“ end appeared about a wing-length sport. Aa it changed its course the extraordinary speed was noted. It far outraoed the Pan American plane and the twin limits appeared to burn cut 30 dies ahead. The entire ptanonenon was observed for sone six seconds.

It appeared to be travel i:ig at great spaad. The object appear*? extremely swill and therefore the altitude could not be estivated. It did a pe r higher than U mi top of M anitou fountain which if some 1,000 feet higotr than the city. No definite shape could be determined even with the aid of «-6 over binocolrrs, Toe men were certain that the object was not a conventional aircraft since it did not nave ary of the physical charecteriathe th on re chlng the area Just north of M anitou tea object regained in the area for several minutes during which time it executed maneuvers such as climbing, diving and reversal of flight. This barkened every few seconds. The distance and location between views prompted two of the nth to think that there wy have been more of the objects in the sky. A t that s it seemed to hoever aad then it would etort on another flight path. X nen last seen the silver object was climbing very fist towards the west almost directly into the wind.
