watch aud a roug) neasurenent of distance) that it took the objeet TO seconds to
Sravel fron (headed northeast) che eave of Waco, to a paint about 3 miles south of

At this point i should like to taterject, that evea thouch I doa't know what
tnis object was f an fairly soattive it was not an aircraft. (orkeing at JOAF3 for
1S moa. Taye seen just avout every modal the Air Force has with the exeention af
the seeret oxperinental nodela). ‘isd it bean a jet (and as far as I tkoow jets con't
have flames va long ot «3 Jarze as this) I would have heard some sound or sav £
liguts of sons sorts. I was standing out of the car when the objact case frou over-
head and was clear of the movia loudspeaker (which may be argued as a factor in
Crowning out say airplans noise). The driveein (which I have attended many tines)
is located some what southeast of JCAVB,s rumways and night flying B-25's fly over
all the tine sonetines drowning out the movies sound. This further substantiates
my /elief that it waa not an airera?t, ;
