stated the objeet was slightly larger, tip to bottom, than his handspread (about 73")
at his arms length (27"), when the object was at a distance of about 50 feet. At the
side view, the object was about twice as long as its height and in the general shape of

an elongated egg.

(3) The color was dull red with purple waves coursing throughout the extremities of
he ebject. Although the colors were dull, the intensity of light seemed moderate to
bright to the observer. He did not notice the color reflected on objects below,

(8) The object emitted a sound which he described as the hum of a large transformer
but higher in pitch. This object also agitated the air and he described the sound as
sim to but vastly greater in volume than a whip swishing through the air,

adio which had recently been recieving very clear prosrams wntil then, was completely

(1) The attention of GURNEE was drawn to the object while he was in his
darkened bedroom by a bright, white, steady light which was reflected against his bed.
room wall opposite the windows of the room. He realized that the light was too intense
to be the headlights of a car. As his parents were away at night school and he was in
charge of the home and his younger brother, he arose, dressed and went out on the
front porch of the home to seejwhat caused the light, The family pet dogs had com -
menced to howl and run around as'if in terror and he wanted to let them in the house,

(2) The object was firs t observed in a due westerly direction from the home, at
an elevation of about 20°, at an undetermined distance from the observers position,

(3) eee o> serv 24 the odject on its first >ass for about 10 seconds, I+
‘law directly towards his home on a steady declining altitude of approach and when over

his front yard at an altitude of about 8 to 10 feet, it veered gradually away to the
North East. He was, however, unadle to see the object when he knew that he should have

been looking at the rear of the object. He could hear the ooject only while he could
see it. He went back into the house to calm the family pets and his younger brother,
and noticed the time at about one minute after 2100 hours LST (0501 Z). He went back
outside at five minutes after 2100 hows LST (0505 Z), and odserved the oo ject again
jue West or the house and aporoaching ois position, le ooserved the odject would vass

te this ineident,. Cg gt eg la tn etemeeggge- iar Z, the animals were
whimpering and shaking and hiding under the furniture. The static on the radionwas
not evident befere 0500 Z nor after 0515 Z, indicating some electircal or magnetic
disturbance in the. area during these observations. G@l—i@stated that on each pass of
the ebject he heard &. very sharp cracking noise and compared it to the spark gap of
an automobile spark plug but of greater volume and intensity. He was emphatic in say
that this noise was ne that of a sonic boom which he has heard many times, Qa
was sineere, did not change his story though questioned several times on
different points and seemed genuinely convinced that what he saw actually CZASTS.
