Incident No. 37 -—=— lj; October 191;7, 1200 hours, eleven miles North,

4 haan tine Sew ~
uw

N. G. of Cave Creek, Arizona.

Two mine operators observed one object at S000 to 10,000 f& altitude, travel~
t J Drill ’
ing 350 1P11S.E. in a straight line for a period of 45-60 secomis. The object

sian? @
was red against the sky, and black against a cloud. It appeared tobe three
feet in dianeter from point of observation. The OSI report of investiyation states

that one observer thoucht it was 2 buzzard, tut decided later that it was not;
the other observer said it resembled a flying wing, but was not a flying wings
No reasons are given for these apparently superfluous and conflicting remarks.
As in many other instances, these observers cite their flying experience as
qualification for their ability to observe and report detulls.
