reported the following:

a. In August, 1949, they were employed by the U. S.
Forestry Service as LiFe Tockoite sui were stationed at Delilah Lookout,

east of Fresno. They were oualified observers having been lookouts for
four summers. (They are also aircraft ohservers and claim complete
familisrity with all eircraft found on their aircraft observer charts.)
Their sighting of the flying object on that day was through a stendard

| set of Navy binoculars (6x30) and the object was not more than 3) miles

distant from their lookout tower.

b. The object was approximately 100 feet long and
proportionately wide; "space ship"=like in appearance; dull, silver-white
in color; soundless; moved at about 20 miles per tiour; no flame or other
visible means of propulsion although at the rear end there was a hole as
in a jet aircraft; two very small, under-proportioned wines, swept—back
and pointed, about a third of the distance back from the nose; a long,
narrow window on each side of the nose in the upper half; object appeared
from behind a mountain, moved slowly down a valley in front of another
mountain, halted and hovered where valley intersected another valley that
went behind a mountain on their left (Mr and Mrs Bromley felt that it
hovered there as tlough it were observing a dam that was being constructed
down in the hidden valley), hovered there for fully 15 minutes, and then 2m
moved away from then, still at the very slow speed of 20-40 miles an
hour, toward Fresno.
