STATS

IF

At 9:06, 7 Ausust 1952, my mother took my son out into the bac]
yard to see an airplane comming from the Vest. While watching the
plane, she noticed a large, round object in the sky moving at a ery
fast rate of speed. It came from the est, mado a U-‘thuen and
disappeared, somewhat like a light being turned out. “y mothor the
turned and saw another in the North heading South moving slowly. As
it moved along it seemed to gather speed and disappeared ir. the sane

mannex as the first. Mother cae in and told me about them and we

th went out to see them. A third object appeared fron the North

oO

at about 9:20 and uoved slowly South, While watchirg this object, we
noticed a fourth object appear from the North, passed the third object
rapidly, made a large circle bearing Kast and disappeared as it came
in line with the sun. A two engined aircraft heading Sout> passed
under the 4th object.

The objects appeared to be about 15 inches in diameter, round
but flat, and lcoked like a ball of white fire. 4A11 four cbhjects
appeared to be similiar in size, shape and color.

I certify that the information contained above is true

and correct to the best of my knowledge:
