January 16, 1963
Dear Sirs:
Recently, there was a YOU ASKED FOR IT program, which had a part
about flying saucers. I got to thinking about it, and I remembered
the one that I had seen last surmer. I got a copy of Donald H.
Menzel's Flying Saucers. Looking through it, I found a picture of
what mine lookad like. It was a"Lubbock light" Saucer. Here is a
report of it.
Portland 1, Oregon
Saw it on August 12, 1962 Saw it on August 12, 1962
It was about 10:00 when I It was about 10:00 when I saw it, at ight, It lasted for about saw it, at night, It lasted for about
three seconds.
I saw it in SE I saw it in SE San Jose, California.
It appeared to have the shape of ducks in flight, forming a rigid
V. There were about eight dots on each wing. They were colored
gold.I It traveled from North to South, with the point of gold. I It traveled from North to South, with the point of the wing the wing
pointing South. It moved without a sound.
I was facing West.
It was (the weather) quite balmy, and there was not a vigible cloud
in the sky. There was a slight breeze blowing.
The moon was full.
An illustration of the saucer
The dots were colored gold.
The:altitude was practically 90 (of the saucer).
Each dot was about the size of a pea. Each dot was OUT the size of a pea.
The saucer moved on a straight plane with me, and then veered sharply olane with me, and then veered sharply
at a 90° angle to disappear. at a 90 angle to lisappear.
.
There was nobody to confirm this report. I was so awstruck, I could
not speak until a few minutes after it was gone. not speak until a few minutes after it was gone.
The saucer was in the West, the Moon in the East.
It was moving against the wind.
Very truly yours,
