COMMsETS OF PREPARING OFFICER;

1, Considering the excellent weather conditions and the circunstinces
surrounding the sizhting as well as the physical phenozena involved, SCURCE
concluded that the objects were "not of this tarth", He shared with his C.O.
the opinion that in all of tha expanses of ths universe it 1s possible that
other forms of intellivence exist and that they may be well advanced in tach~
nology beyonl huran comprehension. Hse assumed further that such intelligent
beings would attsmpt to avoid human contact for perhane a multitude of reasons,
NUURCS conclided further that the objects could not have been any of the fol-
lowing for reasons indicated below:

because he doudted that flight tests would b* conduct-d with four (4) vroto-
syoes-at a tine and in uncontrolled areas such ss the vicinity in which the

sighting was made. He mailed out the vossibllity of a forced Landine of

such exosrigent2l models because their movement indicated thrt they could
maneuver and could have landed just as easily at a spot not visible from th»
road,

Co. SCURCH ruled out the possibility that tha odjacts helonzed to
another Earth power attenoting to spy on the U.S. by means of these vehicles
dus to ths fnct that there vas rothing inmortant to gain from an investigation
at the location of the sighting.

2. SOURCE regretted the fact that he had‘no film in his camera and that he
did not make a closer investigation of the observation on the spot or that he did

not note the exact spot of soa on a road map or mark the spot on the road for
later refsrence.

3. Judging only by the description of the sighting and its circumstances, the

iavestizator does not believe that the incident was due to misinterprstation of any
natural or man-made phenomena.

4. Based again on the sane information, it is the investizgator’s balief that

the entire story may be of complete manufacture by SOURCE althongh the latter never
showed any signa of “acting.”

TI. RELIABILITY: SCURCE appeared intelligent, and he was friendly and
cooperative, Initially he appeared somewhat nervous, but it is balieved
that this was dus to his uncertainty as to how his information would ba ree
ceived, when it became apparent to him that the interviewer received his
information with unbiased interest, his nervousness left him, and hs presented
his account of the incident without hesitation. He answered all follow-up
questions willingly, One minor inconsistency occurs in the report: SOURCE
drew a sketch of the top view of one of the objects. While he probably
ceant this to be a top view of the objects as he imagined it (never actually
having seen the objects from the top), it wonld seem more logical had he
drawn 2 bottom view, since he did see ths objects passing almost directly
above him (50 ft). During the latter part of the interview, while working
on SCURCE's narrative description of the incident, his commanding officer and
his adjutant were present in the room. Both spoke favorably of SOURCE's
ability as a fighter pilot and of his character, His C.0. passed remarks
to the effect that ha, for one, believed SOURCE, although he himself nad :
never made any UFOS sightings. ~ |

IIT. SCURCEts DESCRIPTION OF SIGHTING: SOURCE was returming to Newcastle
County Airport, Del. after completion of USAF Advanced Survival School, Stead |
APB, Nev, on 23 Nov 57 in his automobile. At about (0630) he was approximately |
thirty (30) riles west of TONOPAH, Nev., traveling towards LAS VECAS, Nev, |
at about sahby (SO} mph, when the engine of his car suddenly stopped, Attempt
to re-start the engine were unsuccessful, and SOURCE got out of his car to
investigate the trouble, Outside the car he heard a steady high-pitched
whining noise which drew his attention to four (4). disceshaped objects. that
were sitting on the ground about 300 = 400 yards to the siggt of the highway,

These objects were totally unlike anything he had ever seen, and he attempted

to gat closer for a better look at them. He walked for several minutes until

he was to within approximately fifty (50) feet from the nearest object. The

objects appeared identical and about fifty (50) feet in diameter, They were
disc-shaped, emitting their own source of light which caused them to glow

brichtly. They were equipped with a translurcent dome in the center of the »*
ton which was obviously not of the same material as the rest of the craft,
The entire body of the objects emitted the lizht, they did not seem to be
dark on the underside, They were equipped with three (3) landing gears each

that appeared hemispherical in shape, about two (2) fest in diameter, and of
some dark material, SOURCE estimated the height of the objects from sround
level to the ton cf the dome to be about ten (10) to fifteen (15) fee
‘fhe objects were equipped with a ring around the outside that was darker
than the rest of the craft and was apparently rotating. When SOURCE got to
within fifty (50) feet of the nearest object, the hum, which had been steady in
the air ever since he first observed the objects, increasec in pitch to a
dezree where it almost hurt his ears, and the objects lifted off the ground,
The protruding z2ars were retracted immediately after take-off, the objects
rose about fifty (50) feet into the air and proceeded slowly (about tan mph)
to the HOrEn across the highway, contoured over some small hills about
a nalf (3 ) mile away, and disappeared behind those hills, As the objects
passed directly over SCURCE, he observed no evidence of any smoke, exhaust
trail, heat, disturbance to the ground or terrain, r any visible outlines
of landing zear doors, or any other ontlines or openings on the bottom,
The total time of sighting lasted about twenty (20) minutes, After the ob-
facts disappeared, SOURCE examined the place where he had first seen them on
‘the ground, There was no evidence that any heat had bean present, or that
the ground had been disturbed in any other way other than several very small
impressions in the sand where the landing gears had obviously rested, The
impressions were very shallow and bowl-shaped, triangular in pattern (an
equally sided triangle), SOURCE did not measure the distance between the
impressions, but estimated it to be about eight (8) to ten (10) feet. After
his investigation of the impressions, SOURCE returned to his car, and tho
engine started immediately and ran perfectly, The car SOURCE was driving
was a 1955 Chevrolet, and ha had not experienced a trouble of similar nature
before or after the incident, At the time of sighting, SOURCE had driven

from RENC, Nev, to the point of sighting during the night and had slept P
fos about two (2) Hours in his car between 2h00 hre and 0200 hra that sae pes Bil ae
same day, SOURCE -lhad had no intoxicants or any sleap-retarding drugs,” He
described his physical condition at time of sighting as excellent... After the
sizghtinz, SOURCE proceeded to INDIAN SPRINGS AFR, Nev., where he reported the
sighting to the Base Security Officer,
Tha times of day referred to above are given in Pacific Standard Time.

At time of sighting it was daylight, but the sun was still behind the mountains.
