Qualifications: Mr, Mp «os a pilot under volunteer status
during Werld War II, with the Civil Air Patrol and the Corps of Army <ngineers.

tt. RELIABILITY: In view of the facts as stated by persons knowing Mr.
GHA for several years past, there can be little doubt as to his integrity and
jnagement.

Itt. SOURCE'S DESCRIPTICY OF SIGHTING: While progressing southward on Mun-
suagaa Laks (HKGB 0022) gt a speed of  MPE, Mr. aan attention was called to
an object streaking across the sky from “est to East, by another member of the
party in his boat. The time was estimated to de 1921052 Jul 56. By the time Mr.
gs had located the object, he had only 2 or 3 seconds in which to follow it.

The object was seen while the aun was high in the sky, there was no wind,
and no clouds were present in the sky. The temperature also was normal for this

area, As seen by Mr. ee. he estimated the brightness to be about the same as

that of an automobile headlight several blocks away, and also resembling a heade
light. It was about the size of a baseball held at arms length and resembling a

bright atar, around the edzes.

Bir. GRD ceclared that it would be impossible for him to assert possitive-

ly as to the color, 43 it varied in color from a faded red to aa orange, and then
to a yellow; leaving behiad a wavy trail similar to that of a jet, only cissipating
Ee further stated that he

could not judge as +o the transparency or solidity of the object, therefore he
would have no way of knowing what types of iaterials would be needed if another

object like it was to be constructed, and again, if it could be constructed. he
would have no idea of the exact shape.

Mr. GP further stated that after watching this object cross the sky and

digzappear behind a ridgs of hilts not too far from the lake, he, as well as the
rest of the perty heard and felt, a severe explosion, mueh like that which would

come if a large cache of dynamite might blow upe
When asked if he had ever seen anything which resembled this object, Mr.
Ger quickly enswered that he had not, and he feit that he would recall it if

he ever hade He declared that his first thought was of a dizabled jet, but after
t likely. This

geeing and thinking about the speed, he felt cert4in that was no
object was travelling at about three times the speed of any jet 4+ had ever seede

the sky. She estimated it to be about two miles away from the position which they

were cecupying at the time, The object was seen in bright daylight and had the
brightness cf an automobile headlight several blocks away,

_Aa this object passec through the air, it left a trail of light, aimost
white smoke, which did not last as long as that left by a jet, and was much lighter.
This smoke trail followed a flame approximately fifty times longer than the object

itsel?,.

Qualifications: Mr, ei was for several vears a cuide iz

might be questiorned in this matter. |

II. RELIABILITY: As far az cam be judged in the course of this invastigation,
while talking with Mr. Qype and several of the neighbors who livs near him, his
reliability is irreproachable. Honesty and truthfulness have always been a great
part of his makeup.

III. SOURCE*S DESCRIPTION OF SIGHTING: Mr, QR in the company of a Mr,
Gil vere fishing at Debsconeag Dem, (HKGA 0347), approximately fifteen miles
West of Millinoeket, on Friday afternooa, 19 July 1955, whem thsir attention was
attracted +o aa object approaghing from the Southeast, flying fairly close to the
ground. It. nee judged it to be approximately three to four hundred feet oleva-
tion. This objeet was watched until it passed from view in the Northwest, behind
the tree tops. The length of time required to passa from view, after sighting it,
was from 20 to 30 seconds. They were not positive as to the exact time but judged
it to be shortly after 192100Z Jul 56., aad were more positive that the sun could
have nothing to do with what they saw. <Xven though the sun was shining brightly,
there were no clowds visible from where they were located, or any other objects
which could have been reflecting sunlight.

Ome thing which both mem definitely believe, is that it was a solid object,
angG they had ample time to observe it fully, watching it from both directions. They |
observed the trail of fire which followed it, also the smoke trail which it Isft.
The fire itself was far brighter than the background of the sky, aud disapoeared
twice during the time the men were watching it. The flame emitting from the rear
of the object was similar to that which is seen following a ist aircraft after dark,
while coming from the top of the object at approximately the center of it, was 4
small flame of bright blue, which went straight up, curving with the force of the |
air after it le?t the object. The color of the object was’ a dark metal color. ~-he
flame trail was judged to be approximately twelve feet long.

Dyring the time this object was observed by these two men it did not siter
course and apparently did not come any closer to the ground. It seemed to be guided

along a straight course, from the time they first saw it until it disappeared from

views One thing which they both thought very odd, was the fact that there was no
o push itself along,

sound woatsoever, and they both felt if it had enough force to z |
at the rate it was going, there definitely should have been sound. he SP aeee was
travelling directly against the wind which was blowing from the Northwest at the

timee

II. RELIABILITY: While lecating Mr. QM, several residents in that ares
remarked om the reliability and integrity of the man as being above reproach, and

that if he reported seeing this object, he surely saw it.

III. SOCURCE*S DESCRIPTION OF SIGETIG: While moving from one fishing spot to
another on Great Pond on Friday afternoon, 19 July 1956, Mr. egal: happened to be
looking at the scenery around the lake, and spottei the object. Hs estimated it to
be cirectly north of the positios of his boat, ‘The object wus sighted at a:proxima-
telyl92100Z Jul 56, It was roving rapidly from west to east, and he observed it
for at least six seconds. The sun at the time waa well to the left of the object,
in fect at sa angle of at least 90 jezgrees, from the sun to the object, at the
horizon level. The sua was in the west, and he estinated ths object to be 4t about
true north. It was much brighter thaa the sky behine it, adout te intensity o? an
awtomodiis headlight several blocks away, and leeving behind it a grayish colored
trail, This trail scoa dissipated though, much quicker than a trail loft by a jet

aircraft. Mr. QypfPwas wearing oyszlaszea at the time, as he does constantly.

There wes no souad from the odject, but the head or froat of it was bright
and sharply outlined, while the back or tail, was fuzzy end tlurred and seemed to
be of a blue amd gray color. It was shaped like a tube, with a hesd which resembled!
a footdall in contour. “e estimated the object to be approximately ten feet long.
(Part of this length, in fact ali of it, could have been the trail of fire which
was left behind). It was estimated by M. to be approximately the size of a
quarter in diameter if the quarter was held at arms length.

This object appeared in the sky and disappeared again, much the same as
ons turning on and off aa electric light. Mr. larson stated that if he waa going

to try to reproduce this object in its entirety, he would first start with one of
the old type sealed beam headlights which were not glare proof, and from there on
it would be difficult to choose a metal or material which wovld compare with this.

At the time Mr. iain discovered the object, he was moving northward on
the lake, and immediately after se-ing it, he cut his mo tor and drifted ore
watching the object. As soon as it disappeared he proceeded to hia gpa. ate
attempted to call the GOC post which is only a short  ipabinen from his ana rein
ing in this, he procesded by car to ‘he post where his report could be easily Ss

patched to the Filter Center.

negative result#e

2. The Observatery and Planetarium et the University of Maine, Orone, (HJ
1952) was centasted. The Prefesser of Astronemy, Dr. Maymard Jordan, gave the follow
ing facts:

/
a. The Observatory and Planetarium at the University waz closed during
the time of the sightings.

b. There could definitely be more than one meteer in the same general
area at the same time.

@. That meteors cam explode mich the same as the one reported by Mr.
ake, but, it would have to be a large one, and probably would leave sore physical
evidence, if the location of the landing could be found.

a. There are no other planetariums within the State of Maine which
would be able to furnish other information.

3. The information received from the Presque Isla Arb, Veather Station
indicated the following:

a. Winds varied from Surface at & knots, to 50 knots at 30,000 feet,
with the surface winds coming from NNW,

b. A few seattered clouds were present at 4500 feat, with 20 miles
visibility, end no precipitation.
