SUBJECTs Fiying Saucers

On Wednesday, 25 March 1952, at about 3 o'clock (Central
Standard Time) I observed one (1) unidentified flying object
which was circular and shiny,. I could not determine the alti-
tude, but the object was flying straight and level from Green-
wood Cemetary near the city of Saint Andrews towards Panama City,
Florida. I first sighted the object while sitting in a chair
looking out the windows. The sun was not shining in the window,
but away from it, so that it cast a reflexion of the object.

When I first sighted the object it was quite far away, and

I have no idea of the actual or estimated distance. I watched
the object tor about three (3) seconds, and then rushed to the
front door in an attempt to get another look, but the object had
‘disappeared. It could have been possibly a very fast jet air-
craft.
