Orn 14 August 1952 at approximately 1545 hours, sever of us were
waiting in the parts shack at the Compass lose for another sir
swing when one of the amployees pointed outside and said, "J ook",
Immediately everyone was on his feet holding a sight rever before
witnessed by any of us.

at about an estimated 20,000 feet and was travellires at a rather fest
rate of speed due West. The craft was very easily spotted as it
appeared to be of metallic nature and reflected the sunlicht as it
moved through the sky. Gradually it started a left cli Ming turn and
continued this until it had coupleted a 180 degree turn and was heading

back due Zast at about 30,000 fect. we watched it go behind a small

cloud and disappear.

While We were discussing the thing, it reappeared and again it was
travelling about as before, due Vest and asain at about 30,000 fast.
It was at this tine that we reported the object to the Kelly Control
Tower, givirg its approximate location and altitude. “or several

Spot. the last time we saw it, the thing appeared almost 4

overiead and was travelling faster than evar toward the North whore
it finslly paled away. So far as we could tejl, it must have

travelled at about 1590 miles per hour and executed sanevuve: i
