» | a, Mrs, GQIMEEMelated she was out in the yard on the south side of her |

house taking down her washing, Her attention was attracted first by the light.
She then observed for a very short period of time an object described as round,
and about the size of a softball surrounded by a very bright emerald green light
which illuminated the area around the house. The object seemed to be in the center
ef this light, and did not seem to be burning in its self, The object passed very
quickly and did not have or leave any smell, light, residue, wash or effects
other than startling the observer, It appeared to be traveling on a course from
north to south, (a compass reading taken of the path described was 215 degrees
mag) and seemed to angle down after passing overhead of the observer, It appeared
to be just above the tree tops, and did not have a tail 2s if it were propelled.
There was no explosion observed prior to, during, or after the passing of this
object, It was a cold, dark night with no wind blowing,

The hole appeared to have been made at an angle, with the object approaching from a>
northerly direction (a compass reading taken of the path described was 320 degrees
mag). The hole was frozen over with clear ice at the time of discovery. Upon
crossing another swamp pond adjacent to the corthwest of the pond where the hole was |
observed, Mr. » his son, and two dogs passed through what appeared to be a
band of heat approximately twenty(20) feet wide, running west to east. He emtered
and left this bank of heat three times. The dogs appeared to be unhappy and whined
and whimpered several times within the band of heat. Thy refused to accompany him
when he returned to the band of heat the third time. On 3 Marcn 57, Mr ape
and his son returned to the hole in the ice and upon close observation they noticed
The object appeared to be brown in color and
approximately six (6) inches in diameter. Its edges were razged and was curved as a
portion of a ball, Mr. QP cut a hole in the ice and gently touched the object
with the blade of his ax. Tre object appeared to be metal to the best of nis know
ledge. A geiger counter gave a background reading of 20 beats in the area away from
the hole, and a reading of 50 to 70 beats directly over the hole. Mr. iD
stated that his TY set had very poor reception since the passing of the object,

14. On 9 March 57, an invertiostion ‘team onnaed of Capt Anthony, Capt Blue, t/Sgt

McNeil, and S/Sgt Jack visited the pond where the object supposedly fell. Observa-—
tions of the surrounding area showed no indication of burned tree tops, bushes, etc.,
which would have been caused by a low flying burning object. Due to mild weather a
large portion of the ice had melted and no trace remained of the hole described by

| Mr. Gunderson, nor was any object visible in the water.

15. On 13 March 57, the investigation team again visited the pond where the object
supposedly fell. This time the team was equipped with 1 geiger counter and 1 ion
chamber,. The pond and the surrounding area for 50 yards was thoroughly probed. The
