Dear Ta
I have seen my first flying saucer to-night, only it was more
like flying cigars. Being of a perfectly sober and sound mind I set before
you the facts, which were witnessed by at least fifty to sixty people
sitting with me Date,- 27 apri1 56 Place,. Vuyyuru Krishna, tims 2031
hours, as was arranging my projectors to give an outside showing of some
pictures. while sitting waiting for s/aall adjustments be made, I raised
my eyes and saw coming down from the north at a height of perhaps 3,500 feet
a rather misty luninous form which seened like three longish cigars
travelling in formation. The formation was coning g due south and came down to
about 2,500 feet, just before it got to where we were sitting it wheeled
in a rather sharp arc. still losing height and turned OSE direction. On
the actual turn, instead of three cigar shapes, there appeared fivs, the two'
additional being as if to the sides. The general formation was triangular,
although n one would shoot ahead of the other momentarily, and then fall back
again into formational flying. The formation took 22 secands,- by count
rather than stop-watch to paas over and ovor was absolutely silent. No noise
of any of any kind was heard. was heard. Then the formation simply simply disappeared. Speed disappeared. Speed might might
be estimated at perhaps 200 MPH The flight did not simulate jet formations,
in speed, although there was a slightly luainous tall following each of the
forms. In a sense they reminded me of the luainous appearance of dolphina at
play in the Red Sea, only instead of looking down, w had to look up.
No attempt is
by me immediately after the appearance are herewith written dow.I Interpre-
tations, I.leave to the more enlightened, or those with bigger and d better
imaginations.
Yours Sincerely,
