I remember reading : in the papser that nine objeots wers seen in one night.
11i
they looked like an a re ed Light which would fade to a yollowish light
then back to red.
Do you think they could have beon airplanes that you saw that night?
77
well, they could have been airplanes, because during the past coupls or
weeks, we have been seeing airplanes there, going in the same direction
as the unidentified cbjeets have been going.
We have plans which when we carry them out soon, we hope will answer the
question if some of the objects that havs been reported ware airplanes
or not.
What have you seen sinee your first sighting, Mr.
il Ti 14 That was all I saw. By the wey, you expressed your interest in the size of the
objects awhile ago. It vould be my estimate that I saw tha Li.ghts fron about
a mile'and if that is so, I would say that it was about the sans size as an
autcaobile or a little larger.
What size antomobils, a Volks Wagon or a Cadillac?
Are there any additions to what has been brought out thus far that you all
might hare seen which you were unable to explain?
The phenomena ubout which mary people are excited in Coeburn is a light, really
an orange light, which radiates out from the top of the mountain. On several
cceasions wa have seen it. It is an orange light uhich radiated out fron the
