"Doday at about 1l:45 AM we observed a
phenomenon that should very much like to

feet by 3 feet draped itself over a over a rose roBe
bush, another about 10 feet by3 or 4 feet

looked like eud detergent (as (as one
might see them in washing machine). machine). Snowy-

immediately, leaving our hands an in-

than 5 minutes after settling on the leaves,
the substances completely disappeared, but
we saW tiny whitish flecks on the tree.
While examining these, a huge mass of foam
came floating and tumbling about 50 feet
up -- it was at least 20 feet tlong and
about half ride B and L.P.

a relatively y short period of time. In every
instance each sighting was observed by two
or more Air Force Weather Obse All
the sighting took place at night. The first
sighting was by accident, those following
were during planned "Irregular Phenomena

the other at about 3o degrees high in the west- the other at about 30 degrees high in the west-

first group was higher yet closer to our ob- our ob-
servation point. The second group moved'much
elower than the first, to our vision.
Third sighting: 2025 (approx) 'One group

Sighted largest "V" formation yet, from
eight to twelve glowing points moving from N

Low on west horizon, computed not to be too
high and moving much slower than any other
previous sighting. The mation did not
seem to be squeezed by th ffects of perepec-
tive due to distance, it seemed this
was the case then each was at adif-
ferent level and in formation much like World
War Two strategic bombing formations.
This of course
based on what we saw.
Since these sightings the Observers of the
weather station have been keeping their eyes
open on all good observation nights for more
of these Irregular Phenomena. These are all
the sightings we have observed to date.
I would like to point out that all sight-
ings in this letter were wer seen by one or more seen by more
qualified Weather qualified Weather Obsorverg Observers who yho are familiar are familiar
with Atmospheric Phenomens Phenomens. All but one (the All but one (the
