star floating thru the sky at a rather high rate of speed. They seemed to
have a “weird glow," similar to u light-bulb placed behind a thin cloud, Ue
snid that he was facing south and that the objects eame-ia first cane into
appearance about 45° to his right (southwest), They came across the shy at
on elevation of about 45° and when they got into the southeast they just
Gdisanpeared as if someone had turned the light out. The incident took place
between 10 and il P.M. Eastern Standard Time.

as — stated that although he was extremely dubious of eny
publicity on "flying saucers" these things did have the appearance of a sau-
cer, He was very apologetic about calling and stated that he had been a
person who.had scoffed the most at these “flying saucer” reports and that he
did not say that the objects he saw were "flying saucers“, Hse stated, however,
that they definitely gave the appearance of being disceshaped and he did not

believe that they were aircraft,

REPORT OF "UNIDENTIFIED AERIAL PHENOMENA" \y
At 20:25 a woman called to report the sighting of "Unidentified Aerial
Phenomena” Advised her that while she did not have to identify herself, it
wovld help us if she would do so, She then gave her name as "Mrs, aa,

Viress EE , peyton.

She stated that at approximately 19:00 she heard her son, who was playing
in the yar’, call telling her to come look at something in the air, She went
out in the yard, her father-in-law also going out. At first she saw nothing,
but then in the southeast she noted two "disc shaped" objects, Objects were
oval in shape, moving slowly, on 4 rising path. After a brief period of time
they disappeared. Attached form will provide a few of the standard answers,

As something over an hour had passed since observing objects, due to try-
ing to decide whether to report them, then trying to find out how to report them
she was not as sure of various identifying data as was necessary, Her informa-
tion was inexact, she had great difficulty trying to describe objects as to size
height, color, speed, etc.

It was still daylight at the time of sighting, yet they saw the objects
reasonably clearly. She therefore assumed it had some light or glow in conn-
ection with it. Asked if any familiar fixed objects were within her field of
vision at the time with which she could compare objects she said no. There
were no cloujs in the immediate vicinity of the objects, tho some appeared shortly
thereafter,

Feeling that further questioning on my part gave promise of little return,
I terminated conversation. Then checked the phone book to see if anyone by
piven name was listed at given address, There was » listed
fn the phone book. I called the number listed and verified the fact that the
woman at this residence had in fact been the person who called,
