BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING 1}. COMMENTS

One object shape flat plane, oval, siz¢@
of nickel, color, blue center, green
ring or orbit with red flashing light
in center. Object appeared to be two
Saucers placed tace to face. Object
Stationary about 8 minutes then was
rapidiy dimmed out.

' . @EIC FORM 329 (REV 26 SEP 52)

The fact that the object did not
apparently move for 2 hours, ob
served through binoculars (which
magnified image) and ATIC's

‘cneck that bright star ARCTURUS

was in the position rptd, Strongly
indicates that it was a star, Rpt
also states that the sky was 4

broken cloud covered. Therefore ¢
movement of the clouds between th:
OOjS and star would give it an

appearance Of flashing & odd coladrs
