Witness was sure it was not en opticel illusion or that the objects were not | weather balloons since they treveled egainst prevailing wind and since the | speed at which they traveled and the horizontal direction taken indicated | that they were not weather balloons, Furthermore they could not remain at ] the same altitude so consistently if ca were weather belloons, | * Witness then attempted to get personnel (medicel officers) to further verify } the sighting but by the time the additional personnel had arrived at the | sme the original objects had disappeared due to the speed at which they were ry traveling, However, two of then sighted a third object of a silver spherical | | or disc-like nature at approximately 8000 ft traveling in circles over the north end of the airfield, Five out of the seven personnel sew this object All looked away from the object several times to meke sure there was no eye | strain, He stated that this object performed too tight a circle to be | any type of kmown aircraft. | Eveluation!

Pointing up in a direction directly above the group he asked them to explain what they saw. Witness states that she saw 2 silver-colored disc-like objects j flying toward Mojave, Calif, one directly back of the other, et a sveed of bout 300 to 400 MPH at an altitude of approximately 6,000 ft. She listened cerefuily for a few minutes but could hear no drone such a8 occasioned by any “eirereft. Casting her eyes for a moment in another direction and then looking back to the same spot she wes able to distinguish the seme objects again. Assured that it was not eye-strain, she wes convinced the objects were not weather balloons due to the horizontel position in whbh they traveled. Nor could they have been birds @ince they reflected the sun's rays. Some three or four mimes after the objects had nearly diseppeared she saw another flying object similar to the above-mentioned objects. It wes silver colored and disc-like in shape, Unlike the first two, it flew in a tight circle, neigher losing nor gaining altitude, at approximately 8,000 ft. She thought Pais it performed too tight a circle to have been eny type eircreft with waich she eo ves familiar. } Evaluation: Confirmed by other sources - tad 4

Ye Er ES Ty Sw Qn the evening of June 22 about 6:15, a neighbor and I returning hone fron another neighbors, glanced into the sky toward the West, and saw what we thought : was 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 which the vapor was emitting, It was so far away we could not edie og size or even the shape. Its only identity was a glisten in the suns had watched this one for a few seconds, 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 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, After. the objects were gone, we contimed to look and to watch the vapor that had been left which now looked like clouds but kept a shape, and this shape seaned 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. | | | : ' i} e e

Tney were flying in en easterly direction, and appeared to be four round figures that had passed overhead at terrific speed, flying side by side. On looking skyward, Constable Kearsey, himself, perceived a lmge jelly-fish flash across the sky. Could not determine the height and speed owing to the brief period it was visible. Could not determine color but there seemed to be a phosphorescent glow about it. It was found in shape and about the size of & barrel head, end appeared tdbe flying in a rocking motion, Note: The last object was seen by Constable Kearsey, his wife and Mr. Jackson.

When first seen it was at about 5,000 ft and traveling from 400 to 600 MPH, Its grey color rendered it difficult to perceive at a distance as it blended with the clouds, Although a jet~like noise was heard prior to the object's appearance no audible sound was produced while it remained in view, The tail of the object had two points on the outside area, visible as it made its two left-to-right circles which had en epproximate radius of 1/4 to 1/2 miles, The object had what appeared to be a cockpit canopy in the center which extended toward the ‘ack and beneath the object. The "cockpit" did not protrude from the surface but was clearly visible with the naked eye. The object did not revolve on its own axis, It had no discernible landing gears nor propellers, It appeared to have ean excellent air foil (tapered from wing tip to wing tip). Mr. Rhodes thought that the 10-15 MPH wind velocity which caused a rustling of tree leaves might have made it impossible for him to hear any noise connected with the object. He also stated that he thought the object was the Navy's new "Flapjack Plane" but altered his opinion since the object seemed to have landing gears and no propellers, (The Navy ship is illustrated as having Doth) . Rhodes managed to take one photograph of the object at its lowest point (about 2000 ft) end another as it turned out of its second spirel and started upwerd, ( } ® ° r

About 7 miles out of Clarion, Iowa, observer saw ean object shoot across the sky in front of the bus he was driving. It was followed by four more. the height appeered about 1200 feet. Observed stepped out of the bus which wes facing east and noticed some dots in the sky approaching from the opposite direction. They were flying about the seme altitude at a speed of about 300 MPH. These 13 objects flew in a single file. Roughly, the objects _ were between a circle and an oval in shape. In appearance they looked like an inverted saucer flying thru the air. The thickest part seemed to be about 12 feet. ‘The diameter could have been anywhere from 175 to 250 feet. They were dirty white in color. The second group disappeared into the NNW sky in a matter of a few minutes.

It appeared, with the naked eye, to be a very bright light the color of ordinary fire which lost and regained altitude in the manner of a paracimte flare riding on thermals. The intensity of the light varied. This was attributed to clouds pessing Y z ixfxamt below; however, the light was readily discernible thru the clouds, The sky was clear to scattered. When the object was compared to the stars there was a decided difference, Stars were of the usual white; this Ay obs was yellow or flame color.

Objects were brought to Mrs. Krueger's attention by Mrs. Evans. Mrs Krueger saw “a most unusual thing drop out of the sky. I think it was a flying saucer as I have never seen anything equal to it before" She then states that she saw what appeared to be 2 round orange colored discs or balls, the one being smaller, and that these objects eppesred to descend vertically toward the earth in a slow and steady manner until disappearing from their sight. Mrs. Evans said that Mrs Krueger observed two objects (apparently releted) but that they were originally one object which seperated at about the time Mrs. Krueger sighted it. All witnesses# (Mrs. Evans, her son and Mrs Krueger) agree on the following: Color and size - that of an old-fashioned gas light which had a yellow, red or amber shade. Outline was distinct and did not eppeer aflame or irregular. No noise or sound of kind, No smoke or exhaust y trails seen, Shape oval to round.

The objects were flying very smoothly and in a close formation. The estimated size of the white objects was approximstely 36" in diameter. Lt Armstrong wes sure the white objects werehot birds since the rate of closure was very fast. He was certain too that the white objects were not jets or conventional aircraft since he has flown both. s AGENT'S NOTES: A Lt Armstrong wes very sincere in the explanation and was not the exagerating type.

Then a mumber of intermittent flashes were observed for three minutes.

At 2045 hours, 6 July 47, Staff Sergeant Livingston's attention was called | by a neighbor (a Mr. Herman M. Sockwell) to witness some “flying discs" The objects appeared in the west of Birmingham and were traveling southeast. They appeared to be 2000 above the horizon at a 45° angle at an unestimated distance away. They were approximately 2 ft in diameter, and round, They produced a dim glow of light end were traveling at an estimated speed of 500 to 600 MPH. The object (or objects) appeared to be traveling in a definite arc rather than straight, and as soon as one was out of sight, another would appear behind it but not always in the seme path. One seemed to come straight up. The view of its source was obstructed by a nearby house but upon reaching the altitude of approximately 2000 ft it started off in the. same direction as the others, Sergeant Livingston says that he did not at any time see more than one object at a time, and tho it could have been one object it was his personal opinion that there were seven to ten ; . objects. The discs were silent and appeared composed of a single light. ’ , + . « | @ | : ; 1 ! pe RESTRICT: e : aS 5 8, ig So @ fO ah Mle SI PONE Ue Ne i ne e ; e ; >!

7 RF SP BRD aot ti — a Plane had just passed Necker Island at 0535 GCT, At 0558 GCT an intense white light was observed 60° off starboard bow of plane. It appeared similar to the light of an approaching plane except that it was extremely intense. The color was that of an incandescent light without appreciable blue and reddish tinge. It appeared on a course about 350° true some 5 miles away. The ieht grew in intensity (but without any change in color) to a point estimated to be one mile off starboard bow of the plane. When the PA plane switched over to manual control the object suddenly veered to an approximate course of 109° and then the bright light appeared to split into two parts and assumed a reddish Ime. These two reddish lights did not have the intensity of the white light j and appeared about a wing-length apart. As it changed its course the extraordinary speed was noted. It far outraced the Pan American plane and the twin lights appeared to burn out 30 miles ahead, The entire phenomenon was observed for some six seconds. Object was estimated to be traveling 1,000 kmots per hour. } NOTE: Both observers thought it could have been a meteor except for the manner in which it held altitude. At no time did it appear to get above or () below 9,500 ft. When it disappeared it still seemed at about 9,500 ft. at no time did it give off sufficient illumination to reflect on the cloud formation at 8,000 it. Both observers were questioned as to possibility of optical illusion end the probability that the object dropped at an oblique angle but both firmly declared the object apparently changed course and that it appeared to hold altitude throughout the entire time observed, PAA plane was eastbound from Midway on magnetic course 98, which is approximately 110° true, and flying at 9,000 feet at about 205 knots, It wes flying on automatic pilot with Griffin in the right-hand seat in the control cabin and Polhems in the left—hand seat.

S27 ONE Be et i a Observer first noticed a white smoke trail and while seerching for its source he saw an object 4 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 resching : | a 1200 position it was engulfed in a puff of dark grey 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 appeared the object disappeared completely; no particles | were observed falling from it. The point of a 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 40° of the canyon ‘and the south side of Webber Creek. (Switzer was not definite as to what part of the field of view he yy pe) sdk hedge tect that it could have been as far ad 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 witiless 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. : | C) FRR Ear Ae AD * * we

An umsually loud roer attracted the observer and upon looking up he saw a group of very light-colored objects at an altitude of about 50° ‘punched rather closely with no regular formation. The group could have covered 1~1/2° angular diameter in the sky. There might have been 10 As a group they were proceeding 2s to cover 30° of arc estimated of course in 10 to 15 seconds. If one of them subtended 1/10° with a possible wing spread of 100 ft it would put it at a distance of over 10 miles, and quite invisible for a light object. With 30° arc of travel at a 10 mi distance would be roughly 5 miles in 15 seconds or 20 mi per mimte or 1200 mi per hour. Rather fest for a bomber. A 50 ft object at 5 miles dist. wo ld be about 600 mi. per hr - also fast going. ‘The only concrete evidence of form appered on the left tangent of the group - two dark These could have been tail wings. But since they were in no regular formation, and seemed to be moving irregularly like a swarm of bees why shouldn't all of them have had wings? fhe loud roar suggests they a may have been mech closer and rather small. The sky background was hazy blu . 2 with the sum behind. One plane towing a lot of balloons, the witness thought, would have been easily recognized. @ @ zi e yb?

Bd Daring their lunch period (1215-1315) 19 May 1947 © member of a train grew called attention to a silver object in the sky auproaching from the Northeast. It appeared to be traveling at great speed. The object appeared extremely small and therefore the altitude could not be estimated. It did appesr higher than the top of Manitou Mountain which is some 1,000 feet higher than the city. Wo definite shape could be determined even with the aid of power binoculars. The men were certain that the object was not a conventional aircraft since it did not have any of the physical characteristss Upon resehing the erea just north of Manitou the object remained in the area for several mimtes during which time it executed maneuvers such as climbing, diving and reversal of flight. This happened every few seconds. The distance and location between views prompted to of the nen. to shit, that there may have been more of the objects sky. At times it seemed to , hoever and then it would start on another flight path. When last seen the silver object was climbing very fast towards the west almost diréctly into a the wind. | \ Bvaluation: : of source "EZ" of Information "0" \ ) RESTRIGTEC bee. 3 “ . ‘“
