sizgnting. Many ground sightings cor et Rogniy in the

the aircraft (see Atch #2 and #3); bit, slime tnrese ae
received by the offices of local news media, the prepsring officer
was able tc obtain only two witnesses’ names, The testimony ootained

(see Atch #4).. The cause and identity of this object remain unceter-
Le The ll Jamary sighting was reported by Mrs.

minable,

whose
judgement and reliability seem questionable, It is sigr that
this sighting took place on the day that the local paper headlined the

10 Jaymary sighting. Mrs. seemei overly insistent that she
saw.this strange object (see Atch #5) and she described it as “sigar
shaped,” tne mma ch-used description for UFOs, She left the sightin
momentarily to get her husband to see the object, ami wner they observed
ne sky together neither one saw the object. Further, so other persons
reported seeizm this odject, which seems uriikeiy if it hoverea in the
sky for 50 minutes oniy a few miles away, It is the prenering officer's
sonelusion that the ooject was an iilusion, or that ‘aie was
seexing publicity.
