28 August 1952

When the object was disappearing was about the only tire you covld
determine that it was oval shaved, There was only one object, and
it did not leave a vapor trail.

What I noticed mostly was the unusual light and the sneed, It loolred
liked a fighter plane in size at about 20 to 25 thoveand feet, It was
noving in a straight flisht southeast. As soon as it got out of the
rays of the sun it disappezred, I lost sight of it abovt 30 seconds
after I had first seen it. I was in “dzerenont at the time at a
friend's house,

The weather was very clear at the time, About 5 minutes lIster there
was a jet aircraft flying Yiest and one to the “est, At the speed of

the *wo jet aircraft just afterwards I would say the object was
traveling 7? to 3 tires as fast.
