Subject: Unidentified Object

Last night while sitting on uy front porch at Needles, about 3:30 Pi, I noticed |
an object moving from north to south end immediately called the attention of ny wife

to it. I have no way of knowing its size, speed, nor how far away it was, but I
fool rather sure it was at least a mile away and probably farther,

iy wife and I agree that it was this shape:
FROnT:

oh Sy Pe

In other words it was on the order of a delta type craft and moved thru the air
like the above type does, It wade no noise and kept on a steady course, I estimate

that from the tine I first saw it, until it was shielded from view by some tall trees,
about 15 seconds slapsed.

. =

—_—— - -

In the event this object was a nile to the cast of where I was, I night roughly
estinate that it was at an altitude of 2,000 ft, and was going about 100 - 125 miles
per hour and its width about 200 ft. I would be hard to estimate its thickness, be-
cause we gould not, at any time, see it very clearyly.

This matter was light in color and seemed to zlow a very dull glow, or was by
some phoenomenon. slightly luminous itself,

I feel rather certain that the object was not lit up by the lights of the city,
becauge it was just the same dull intensity after it had passed over the city and
continued on over the desert, ‘There were no clouds in the immediate vicinity, and
it was fully an hour or more before the moon caue up,

I have ruled out the possibility that it miszht have been a larze flock of ducks
‘or other birds because of the above.

I also have ruled out the possibility of its being a conventional aircraft, as
I know them anyway, at least,

The only thing I can think it might have been would be an atmospherie condition

forming 2 cloud-like shape and sending it in a direction almost opposite the liht |
prevailing breeze that was moving at that tine, |
