Dear Sirs:
On Monday night, December 5, 1960,
about 6:05 P.M. and I were
crossing the road that runs from Herman
to Butler when we noticed something
strange in the sky. We listened intently
but heard no sound emanating from the
object. Ne walked farther down the road

altitude to be looo ft. From where we
stood, we could clearly make out a
circular object on the forward end of
which was a pulsating red light. Along
either side of an oblong fluores-
cent glow. About a minute later a plane
(presumably a tw D-engine craft) flew
over the object. By means of this plane
we were able to contrast the difference
in t the two.
During this time. the object, which
had been traveling in a North- South
direction before it opped, started .
moving again. Just before it started, a
white flash was seen near the red light.
Neither of us could tell whether it was
inside or outside of inside or outside of the object. After object. After
it had started, almost instantly, it
accelerated and flew off toward the West
flying at a rapid rate of speed. I ran

verify what we were seeing. Within a
minute I had managed to round up ten
collegians who managed to get a glimpse
of the object just before it passed
over the horizon. We all stood there over the horizon. We all stood there
trying to figure out just what the the
thing might be.
About a minute and a half after it after it
had had disappeared below the horizon, it(or itor
something similar) was seen something similar) was seen coming coming from
the West, a slight distance South of
where it had disappeared. It was moving where it had disappeared It was moving
in a West-East direction. The rate of
speed was a little less than before.
As it passed over the oak grove
across the road from the school building,
another flash of light was seen near the
pulsating red 1: ght on the object. It
fo a Northwest-Southeast direction when it
disappeared over the horizon. That is the
last time that we saw it. This entire
occurence lasted from seven to eight
minutes.
I, myself, thought nothing more
about it until'later in the evening, when
one of my classmates asked me about what
I had seen. I told him and he said that
he thought I should report this to
someone. He someone. He gave me your gave your address. I am address. I am
writing this because it may be of writing this because it may be of some some
little value to someone.
