Previously a Hay 12, 1963 report of four similiar looking
objects, looking like aluminun—colored round-topped circular
seucers were seen and revorted to me, as they moved slomly north
near a transport plane leaving Hanscom Air Force Base. In all three

of these Yew England sightings the mystery objects were seen under

eood weather conditions and showed good clear edges. The

description (parachute-—-shaped) in almost a half-dozen sightings

near the vicinity of Hanscoa air Force Base was repeated time and

time again.

Upon contacting Hanscom Field authorities there stated that

there had been no sightings of ‘flying saucers! or UFOs over

or near Hanscom in recent weeks. _ Buty
