Saving Time,

Sightad from tawidence: 3rd Zloor spartmen’t at 1335 Yast Farzo
Avenua, Chicago 25, Tllizois; apartmen’$ ovsrlooxs Laks Michigsn,
QOSJact’ was viewed azatil 1:25 a.u; I am certain oy this answer,

he condition of she sk7 was clear, no trace of daylichs,

There wers only a few stars; no maoalizht, 5

Ths o0}3ct was origater than ths backzround of tha sk7,

The Srizhtness was like that of a distant antomodils beadlizht,
The object appeared to stand still (hover) for sone vneriods o7
time; 1% also changsd brightness; a% ons point it mddanly
changed direction ( suddenly},

A% no time did 1% move behind anything.

Ths object appeared solid,

Ths observations ware mada through eysglasses & Dinoculars.
An unceasing whirling sound was hbaard; this waa also haard during
Qaylizhs the pravious day 2 the Zollowlag day; thara wersn'+ any
visi dla sources of the sound (vansilatiag units, torboats., atc.).
The edzss of the object ware likes a very srizght star.

AS approximately 12:45 A.M, 4 similar objects wars sizhtad: they
vers not as Drizos as the first sdject; tas7 also moved: all firs
O0j3c+8 seemed So Yorm an arc,

Colots observed were green, yallow & red.

QOdserrasions were mada from a rsaidential section of ths cltyz,
When Yirs$ sisnted we were looking in a Jorthaasterly dirsction.
Waen observations ceased we were looking in a Jorsh Yorthaasterly
directian,.

The sx47 was clear, no clouds; no winds veather dry; temperatura hot,
Odservasions made cy undarsizgned & wiva.
