Time= Approximately 2340 on August 4, 1953 at West Point, Nebraska
Weather Conditions - Clear sky, Stars bright

Narrative - Had just shut off sprinkler system ani was admiring the
the many stare visible when a moving light moving from north north
west to south south east caught my eyes. It was slightly brighter
than the brightest stare visible, It remmined clearly visible at
all times until it disappeared from View behind the neighbors house
to the south, As it passed to the South and the distance from uy
point of observation increased, the light decreased in intensity
except for about 30 seconds wen it was about due sough of no

when it agnin grew quite bright. Wo sound was ever heard, The
light was white, It appeared to be at a considerable distance
away though this is only aa opinion as there was nothing to cuace
distance by, Any object moving at such a speed thru the sky should
have given off an identifiable noise if it were close by as the eve=-

ning wee quiet, If it wae at quite a distance the sreed of the object

wast have been creat,

This object aust imve been seen by others who could rerort it's
positiom from other locations, It would seem to me that it should
have been picked «» o4 the radar scopes at the Aircraft Warning
station in Omaha. if so it may be that identification has been

eatabli shed,
