Gentlemen:

I am sending a report om an object which I saw. My four sons were in the car

with me at the time. They saw the object too, but just my som who is nine, really
had any idea what it was.

I had mo official form to fill out so I just answered the questions taken from the
book, “Flying Saucers and the U. S. Air Force".

I hope this will help in some small part to solve this intriguing phenomenon,

Yours trul

I do not wish to guess at the size.

The objsct appeared to be as large as # grapefruit held in the hand at arms'
length. Of this, I am fairly certain.

It rose up into the sky and sped away.

When the object was near the grourd it icoked like a gleaming Japanese
Janterne When it was about a mile up, it looked like a shiny milk-white
ball.

I was located outdoors when I observed it.

I was in the open countryside

At the time I saw the object, I was driving the car. The object appeared to
be hanging over the road directly in front of me. I wondered what that light
was doing in the middle of the road.

1. I was traveling west. 2. I was driving at ten mph. 3. I stopped to look
at the object.

I was looking west when I saw the object.
I was looking north when I last saw the object.

I know nothing about bearing terms.

The weather conditions: clear sky and slight breeze. Dry and cool.

I reported this to no one. I have read too much on the subject, and don't
care to be labeled a “nut" or a “fool”.

Someone else was with me. My four sons. They saw it and pointed to it but

as witnesses they would never do. They did say it laéoked like something in
tha space movies they ses on tslavision,

This is the first time I have ever seen an object. I have read extensively om
the subject, was not afraid, and remembered most of the things you are supposed
to about the weather, etc.

I do not know what the object was. If anyone does, I wish they would tell the

20. Motion and pnath of objsct:

people of this country or at least the ones who wish to know. I think that the

misinformation that is being peddled is causing more fear and trepidation among
the people than the truth would.

59e I cannot estimate the speed. I do know that it left faster than I have ever

seen a jet go over.

40. I would say I was about 1000 feet away from the object.
