Flying Saucer Observation

Times 1010, 19 Cctober 1951
Place: 10 uiles east of St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin

Observers: J.J. Kaliszewski and Jack Donac is
We had just spotted ou® trajectory flight and were approaching from the north
at an alt itude of 4000 ft. Ws atarted a climb towerds the balloon on a
course of 230°, At 6000 fi. I noticed a strange object crossing the skies
from East to West, a great deal higher and behind out balloon. I estimated
that ouR balloon was at approximately 20,000 ft. at the time,

Using ou balloon for comparison, this cbject gern to be about é the
size of the balloon, We were cli.bing and about 6 miles N.E, of the balloon.
The object “ee a peculiar glow to it, crossing behind and above out balloon
fron East to West very rapidly, first coming in at a slight dive, leveling
off for aaah. ninute and slowing dewn, then into a sharp left and climb

at an angle of 50 to 60° into the S.E. with s terrific acneleration, and
disappeared

and I observed this object for approximately two minutes and it
crossed through an are of approximately 40-50°,. We saw no vapor trail and
from past experience I knew that this object was not a balloon, jet, con-
ventional atrera ‘a. or celestial star.
