That the object was turning in a left hand orbit about with
the aircraft flying a tighter circle within the path of the object, was confirmed

began to climb more rapidl and contired increasing the radius o its circle.

or a C-l23. However, this object nade a right hand t
and then disarpeared at an angle of approximately 90 egrees, straight
into the sky. I can not state whether it was s a plane or a type of
aircraft. I can n merely state that there were two rows of what appeared
to be windows, brilliantly lighted, and I would estimate that they
were five to six feet in height and six to eight windows in each of
the two rows. After this object disaopeared, I stopoed my car and rot
out to see if I could see a plane but could see nothing. I turned off
the motor on my car to see if I could hear the motors of a plane but I
could hear no sound. I then proceeded to White Sands Proving Ground.
