it had stripped the timing belt and had jiwaped time.
My Interpretation of what was seen:

1. According to the Air Alianac the moon rose just about the
tine of sighting.

2. A full moon or alnost full moon looks coppery or even firey
when low to the horizon,

3- It was cloudy, almost a complet coverage, That mace the
night very dark, so to intensify the moon,

lk. The appearance of the object to move was an optical
illusion, due to the clouds moving down on the horizon and the moon
shining throngh a small hole in the clonds,

5. ‘The moon rose on the exact bearing where the object
disappeered,

When I first saw the object I thought it was a flying saucer
but after collecting my wits I am sure it was the moon I say,

Description

At approximately 2345 EDST on 30 June 1953 en unidentified flying
object was observed for 4 period of twenty minutes in the northern sky
moving to the southeast by at least 10 personnel of the 912th AC&W
Squadron, Ramore, Ontario, Canada. The first person to observe this
object was an airman who came out of the maintenance room to inspect
the power unit which caused a minor breakdown of the search radar set.
He called two other airmen to witness the object. One of the two
thought the object was the moon. The airman who originally observed
the object got hysterical and called the Charge of Quarters at the
Domestic Area three miles to the southwest. At least seven witnesses
at the Domestic Area saw the object and two of them reported that the
moon was visible at the time and that the object was distinct and sep-
erate from the moon. The object was described as orange colored and
oval shaped. It was described as moving from the north to southeast
and then fading back to the north. Wo great speed was attributed to
the object by any of the witnesses who said they saw movement. It
was reported that the object had no visible means of propulsion and
that there was no similarity to any known flying object.

Discussion

The sighting was made a few minutes after the echeduled time for
the moon rise. The shape of the moon that night was similar to the
description of the object, however, any explanation as that of the moon
is in conflict with the reported observation of the two witnesses see-.
ing both the moon and the object at the sametime. There was a heavy
broken overcast at the time of the sighting. There is a probability
that the object‘was the moon reflecting off the clouds.

Conclusion
Possibly astronomical.

The attached report is in reference to an unidentified object seen in the sky at

about 2345 EDST 30 June 1953 by at least ten persons, It has been dascribed as oval in

shape resembling an egg on ond by swst of the viewers although one described 1% as on

ita side. Ite color was generally described aga orange wita no other idantitying

snaracteristics of doors, windows, means of propulsion etc, One witness did mention

Living persons on board (see statement by Airman Smith). Airman Smith was alone at

‘he tise and when others arrived at his location he waa found to be in a state of

shock and hysteria. No medical officer was availuble to adjudze his condition,

—_———

This is the second such sighting at this o_O |

Later we bed an even more fascinating “manned saucer”
story fram a yadar station up near the Canadian border. “Two
tadar men stepped aut of their shack one night and were |
astounded ta see a great glowing UFO low in the trees a
few miles away. “The generator that operated the radar set |
wasn't operating, and one of the men tan ground to the Quonsct
het te vet it seartedd. ;

While he was in the hut, the saucer few up to the radar |
shack aud halted, hovering in the air. A sliding deor opened.
ghd a little man, 4 feet high. came walking down some in-
visible steps. He was quite remarkable, even for a saucer
crownmmn—he had two heads, one an old one and the other a
young one, With proper respect for age, the young head let
the old one do the talking.

“May | please have a drink of water?” the clderly head asked
the sadar operator,

‘the man stammered out that they had no water, which
subsequent investigation indecd proved to be the truth, The
ol head thanked him politely, and the creature mounted the
invisible steps and re-entered the saucer, which flew back to EXTLACT
its rrigginal Ter among the trees, A little later the radar pa -

merely the teen.
A formal report was filed on this and forwarded to Dayton.

We were still puzzling over it when we got a terse supple: e——_—__---

mentiny tetation from the local intelligence officer whe had

interoxaied the men. Behind the rdar shack he had found

fhe following is a more detailed report on a FLYOURPT transmittal by teletype

1. At about 2345 EDST on 30 June 1953 an unidentified object was sean in the
sky by at least ten persons of tnis organisation. The first person to see the object
was Airman Sevond Class Dean MoDonald, Hoe reported seeing the object appear in the
Norta und then moving to the Southeast. iie called two witnesses ~- of these one saw
it and the other saw it but thought it to be the moon, One of the Airmen then called
the Charge of Quarters at the Domestic Area three miles to the Southwest. As least
suven witnesses there saw the object and two of them also reported that the moon was
visible at the time and that the object was distinct and separate from the moon, hea
ob ject was described as orange colored and oval shaped. lo great speed was attributed
to it by any of the witnesses who said they saw movement, it was described as moving
froa the North to Southeast and then fading back to the North, The odject had no
visible meana of propulsion and all but one person reported no doors, no windows,
no people, nothing metallic, no sound and no similarity to any known flying object,

2. ‘The object wae first seen at about 2345 SOST 30 June 1953 and it was observed
for aporoximately twenty minutes.

3. The object was observed from tne surface by visual means. No electronic or
radar pick-up was made. At the time the search radar had a minor breakdown caused

by a mechanical failure in the power generator, It was this failure that caused the
initial cbaervation by Airman McDonald who had come out of his maintenance room to
inspect the power unit,

lhe ‘The observers were located about three and six miles cast of the town of

Ramore, Ontario, Canada. The object was reported as coming cut of the North traviling
to the Southeast - hovering in the Hast and then disappearing to the North,

5. Of the witnesses two Officers of the Dental Corps, USAF, one is a Philco
Technical Instructor, one is an employee of the Northern Electric Co. of Canada,
one is the First Serzeant, one is the Communications Section Supervisor and the
others are airmen members of this squadron. Although the observation by Airman
Smith is quite unusual there is no positive evidence disproving the reliability of
the croup as a whole, Although several of the members of the group admitted to
having had some beer during the afternoon or evening, others of the group did not

have anything alcoholic to drink, Airman Smith was one of the group that admitted
to having had some beer,

6. At the time of the sighting there was a broken overcast sky condition of
the winds aloft was unknowm,

7. ‘The signting was made minutes after the scheduled tine for the moone-rise,
ihe shape of the moon that night was similar to the description of the object, however
any explanation of the sighting as that of the moon ia in conflict with the raported

ovservatbion of two of the witnesses of seeing both the moon and the object and the
movement from ilorth to Southeast back to North,

38, There is no physical evidence of the sighting. :

9, No interception nor identification action was taken, Ssarch Radar was not ;
operational at the tine.

At approximately 2345 EDST 30 June 1953 I was called from the
teletype room by Airman McDonald to view an object in the sky. I
gow an oval shapped orange colored object to the last = sinilar to
en egg standing on end, It hovered about fifteen feet fron the
ground. It had a dark spot in the center and a door on the lower
part. Its edzes were not clearly defined by were fuzzy. The edges
appeared to be radiating.

The door on lower part <= opened and a man with two heads stepped
out and walked down to the ground. He seemed to be walking on steps
but they were not visible, He had two heads - not alike = one looked
young and other old = two arms and two less about foot tall. Mors
of same type men stayed behind in the object. The man had -fair skin,
carried no weapons or breathing apparatus and did not avpear unfriendly,
The man spoke English. I do not recall the conversation bit I do recall

his saying they came from beyond Pluto. When speaking the man spoxe
from only one mouth. His appearance was normal except for the heads,
and their clothing was similar to ours but the men wore shorts.

At the conclusion of his talk he returned to the object and it
slowly disappeared to the Hast.

STATEMENT

T was in bed reading, the time was 2350 on ‘tuesday 30 Jume 1953
when the phone rang. Airman Smith was on the other end screaning,
"Get Mr. Balder, there is one of those flying things up here," [
thought he was kidding so I kidded with him, Asain Smith yolled,
"Get the OD there is one of those flying things up here.” I
inquired, half asleep, what direction the object was ing "Right by
the hill", Smith said, I hopped out of bed, grabbed my pants and
headed outside. I looked in the general direction of the hill, and
Lo and Behold there was something. fo my amazement I saw a glowing
disk about the size of a dish pan with a band of bright firey light
through the center, The object "seemed" to be moving away from ne
parrallel to my line of sicht. Since I had neglected to pick up ny
shoes, I did not think it was wise to ran barefoot over to Mr. Balders's
trailer. I gave out with several loud cries. By the time Mr. Palder
appeared around his trailer barefoot and in his pajanas, the object
had disappeared. I explained what I had seen. I went back into the
trailer to see if Smith was still on the phone. He was there
yelling, “sound an alert, push that button". Between the screans of
Smith, Airman McDonald had told me that the radar was off the air, I
called Nr. Balder to the phone and went back outside. I stood
several minutes looking at the point where the ocject had disappeared.
There was a faint glow at the same bearing where the object had disappear-
ed, As I watched the glow get brighter and brighter, finally after
several minutes I realized it was the noon. Mr. Palder came out and
told me he was going to the orderly room. Ify wifo hended me my shoes
and shirt and I went to the orderly room. As soon as I arrived I
called operations and founi out that the ridar was atili off. Since
T conld not get any logical reason why the radar had gone off I

.- decided to go to the hill. As I drove I watched the point there

where the object had disappeared. I had not gone but about a quarter
of a mile until I saw the moon break through the clouds, I then felt
sure that the object sighted was the moon. When I reached the top of
the hill I looxed at the sky which was lizhted ty almost a full moon
as it came through a hole in the clouds, The sky had almost a complete
overcast, out slizhtly broken. The clou’s were movinzy from the West
to the East. McDonald was pulling on the PU-254/U trying to get it
started. I found out fron hin that the generetor had gut% and hoe had
come down to see what he could do, [t was at this time he sighted

the object. ie had gone to the teletype room to got Smith to ask for
his opinion. I discovered later that the cenerator had stopped tecause
