Several reports of flying objetss were called in last night. I took
notes on a few The gist of these reports was that a light-like object
was seen crossing back and forth across the city of Dayton last r night.
It seemed to eject a blur ba flame and made no noise. Only one report
described it to be dise shaped. Most of these reports came in shortly
after 2l00 hours. The Deputy Sherxiff made his two calls at Oh00 and
after this morning. Here are some of the names and addresses of the
people who witnessed this flight (?).
