SIGHTING BAR-BSLL SHAPE AT DURANGO, TEXAS,
NOVEMBER 11, 1952 ABOUT 3:40 PM.
"I saw two objects at about 7° elev. and 20°
azimuth, moving rapidly in an PSE direction,
(at apparently at a very great height. Both
———— i. tie -- et

were the same size, not appearing matallic,
bright, or sharply defined, but of a fuzzy,
misty, ragged-edged cloud-like appearance,
cloud-gray in color, roughly globular, without.
€levators, fuselage, wings, etc., or any char-
acteristics of an inflated or deflated balloon
or aircraft. They tumbled over each other
vertically every 3 or 4 seconds, holding the
pame shape and ragged outlines, always stay-
ing the same distance apart, held together
by a taut, wispy gray band, ragzed and ir-
‘regular In width, of the same cloud-like
structure and color as the two objects. After
roteting vertically for about 40 seconds,
they tilted to the right until they rotated
horizontally; after 15 or 20 sec., tilted up
‘until vertical rotation was resumed. .happened
3 or 4 times with the wispy connecting band
tau’ and visible at all angles during tilting
and rotation. The motions duplicated exactly
a bar-bell being turned end-over-end vertically,
then tilted slowly until rotating horizontally
-. action and movement continued toward ESE to
about 48° elevation and at 95° azimth when for-
ward motion slowed down somewhat, but with the
regularity of the rotations remaining the sane,
when they turned sharply in a matter of 2 or
3 sec, toward the NNE to about 75° azimuth, ap-
parently still ona level course...the objects
did not diminish in perspective or visibility as
is always normal in viewing receding objects.
