On Saturday, December 19, I waa walking in the country
near Burgoon, Ohio, with another girle It was 53:15
P.il., the sun was setting, and the temperature was
approximately Treezing.

We gaw in a northwest dirrection what at first we thought
to be a jot making a vapor trail. We didn't think much
of it until we looked at it again. It was now coming
straight down, and the trail was moving with it. As it

came down, the trall seemed to disapveur and the object
took the shape of a ball. As it came still further

7 ; down, it took the shape of a saucer. This saucer shaped
think actually looked as if it were spinning and it did
not have a vertical rotation, but was somewhat tilted.

After some time, the saucer stopped it's decent and
hovered in mid air. We thought at first that it could
be a plane oF some sort, but then a plane flew by in
front of the object The sun did not shine on the plane
fo aa to make it peda ght as was the object.
Before the plane flew by, however; the saucer got sinaller
and when the plane flew by» the saucer ssened to rotate

> in tne same direction that the plane was going, end then
disappeared altoghter.

I cannot describes the color of this object, except tnat
it was very bright and we thought that it md wht have been

a comet or a falling star.

Sinss the rest of my family thinks that I am nuts, and I
would like to know what I was looking at, I thought you
micnt be able to explain it to me.
