SWORN STATEMENT

I S|, do hereby make the following statement:

On Sunday night Auge 3rd 1952 at about 10:20 to 10:29 *.M. saw
ever and to the northwest of the city Truth or Consequences, New Mexico
three objects or lights that to me seemed peculier and not of a type that
my logie could intelligently explain.

On sight they were suspended in the sky in the area above the big
dipper handle et arms length they were about one to 2 widths of my little
finger in length, and their width would be about the same as a wood match
or 1/6 * diameter wire held at arms length.

At sight they appeared motionless or perhaps traveling directly towards
we henee appearance of no motion.

Their formtion looked to me as follows:

After holdjng thie position for some time (1) became elliptical and made
180 degree” path like to a hyperbole or spiral taking position (4). This
position was held for some time and (2) showed ellipse turned on its own
axis 160° and traveled swigtly upwards.

Then no (4) went through same maneuvers as (2) with the exception it
revolved 1 counter clockwise and traveled after the first one (2).

Then no. (3) turned ellipse to a full circle, back to ellipse and
followed (2) and (4).

Thie wae observed from the roof of my house at 615 Charles Street
where I had gone to recover a hammer left there in the daytime.

The color of this light wee green or like tinted white. No glow,
slightly cold color.

All movements were graceful and seemed fully controlled, but swift
and sudden like something traveling et high speed.

I at once drove to Truth or Gonsequences Airport end mde this report
to eperetor in charge, arriving at about 10:50 P.M.

I operated ee Mining Engineer for Anaconds Copper Mining Co. from
1923 to 1945 moet time being spent in foreign country- Chile, 3.4. taking
the biggest part of thet time.

I worked as engineer 1946 in Helerm National Forest. From 1946 to
1948 I was Engineer for American Smelting end Refining stationed at
Makab Dahab and Jeddah Saudi Arabia. From 1948 to 1950, I was Forres’
for the Lewis and Clerk Forrest et Great Falls, Montana.

® Turndd cloekwise.

** Turning 360° on ite own axie at came time as the 168° and travel-
ed swiftly upwarde.

Swern to and subseribed before me this 6th day of August 1952.
