STATEMENT

June 18, 1952

EXZRACT

On Saturday, 24 May, 1952, I was driving east on U.S. 66 about 25
miles west of Santa Rosa, New Mexico, with my wife as a passenger, when
-wa both observed a round silver, shiny object in the sky. It seemed to
be some ten to fifteen miles away, fairly high, and to the northeast of
the highway. I assume it was fairly large in size, for I am sure that
it was quite some distance away, yet 1t was clearly visible at ali tines,
and quite easy to see. It seemed to hang motionless for a period of
some minutes, then it started to move rapidly, and disappeared in the
southeast, moving away in that direction. My wife made these sane
observations. The time of this happening was about nine A.M. The sky
was clear around the object, though there were clouds higher up.

I testify that the above statements are trus
end correct.
