UFO SIGHTING |
Ogdon Utah, 17 August 1962

Observer: pe aa age 58 Occupation: |
Union Depot Company |
Ogdon, Utah Ogdon, Utah (for 37 years) |

and Grandson age 10

Time; Zoecal 8:48 pm 18 August 1962 Length: 10 seconds | '

Deaription: Shape was similar to a lemon (a little different than
an egg) and the front was more round than the buck,
Three objects were crowded together and would have
been touching each other, very close. The leading |
object was approximately 2 or 14 lengths ahead of
the other two. The objects were longer than they were
wide. No windows, form, exhaust, tail, or trail was
seen. There was no sound or odor. The objects were
a dull aluminum color,

The objects were in a formation like geese - a leader
and two behind, one on either side, Observer could not
tell whether one was higher than the others, but it
might have had to be in order to fly so closely.

Observer could not tell whether objects were on a
Slant or flying straight, but said they were in level
Flight,

The objects were lit up but with no lights. Observer
said he thought the moon must have been below the moun-
tains throwing light and also that the light from
Washington Boulevard might have been lighting the
objects.

The objects were estimated to be at an elevation of
about a thousand feet. Witness indicates that the

objects could have been three or four times that
estimate,

WX Conditions: it was fairly light out. Stars and faint outline
of mountains could be seen by witness. At 9:30, the
witness looked at his watch and at the same time
noticed heavy white clouds moving in from the North-
vest. They completely covered the area ina few
minutes, Witness stated that if any odor accompanied
the objects, it would have been blown away ranidiy.

Optical Aid: Observer wears glasses but did not have them on at
the time of the sighting, He has vision of 30-40
(good enough to pass drivins test, but not zood
enough for job according to Doctor at the railroad).

Tae observer and his grandson were in the yard hoping to see
some satellites. Objects appeared in space between two trees in
witness's yard. The objects disappeared behind and rising to the
toon of the tree (second tree).
