1. The Intelligence Officer, 1602d rt Wing, Wiesbaden Air Ease,
Wiesbaden, Germany, reports that | a member of
the 16024" Air Transport Wing, s ed an unidentified aer object the sky to the
age vicait 04 the following report on the
west of Wiesbaden Air Base.
t
"At 18650Z, while sitting on the porch of the MATS barracks*, I observed an
object in the western sky at an approximate bearing of 315 derrees true and approx-
imately 45 degrees vertically, well above the sun which was low in the sky. The body
resembled an automobile headlight tilted so that a portion of its under elliptical
surface was visible with no motion other than a slight oscillation of its lateral
axis, At approximately 1851Z, I called Pfc R. M. Grisillo, sitting near me, and
requested that he observe the sunlicht being reflected from the body and its lack of
motion. Grisillo exclaimed, 'It's a flying saucer!' At 18542 I observed an almost
simultaneous acceleration and disappearance of the object."
* It ie presumed that the barracks are located on Wiesbaden Air Base.
2. The Intelligence Officer states thajqqpentat i iememes ccs-
cription of the object was substantially the same as Sergeant Pretko's. Neither of
the airmen observed any means of propulsion and neither could state the direction
taken prior to the object's disappearance.
3. The two control tower operators who were on duty at Wiesbaden Air Base at
the time of the sighting were contacted. Neither had observed anything unusual during
their period of duty. One of the operators, however, stated that from their pcsition
in the tower, in relation to the sun's rays, it would have been difficult for them
to discern an object on the described bearing.

Mr, Graham managed to stay on
