Ab 50h5 P.M. on 23 Avril 1949, I sigited an object WS of Tucson, Arizona
at an angle of 75 deurees froa the horizontal and at an altitude of about 25,000
$0 WJ,K0 Laat. I noticed this object wile standing in front of the Circle We
Tanch near the commer of vast ledrick and North Campbell Avee, at 2215 Vast Hedrick
Drivee i Lirst noticed it because of the rezlection of the sun on the object which
snowed it a briiliant viivery color. ‘When I first sighted tue object, it was travele
ing in a southeasterly direction, and finally curved to tna southwest and disappeared
froma view, I choserved it for about 10 minutes.
shdg object waa olgar soaped with rounded ends, tlad no tail assembly or wings
vat [ could seas 15 Sseoued to be rotating as it traveled. I would also say it was
traveling at a high vate of speed, There were no clouds, aii the sky was very clear.
foward the front of the cbject, I asted two circular holes which looked just like
eyes from that distances,
Il did not hear any noise aw notice any exhaust or va>ort rails.
rom ita altitude, I would say it would be as large as a 29.
