lL. Tne following information was received via telephone from Col
Arnola (OSI) at 1030, 23 Aug 62:

a. Col Arnold received a telephone call from , SZ oc,
USMC Recruiting Service, Old Customs House, home address

, Aurora, phone QB -eporting she following fact
a3 he saw them:

(1) "At 1845, 26 Aug 62, just after sunset in Del Mar Park
an object was sighted in the sky, before Venus had risen and too early
for stars to appear. ‘The object was much larger than'a commercial jet--
about twice the size of a DC-8. ‘The object approached from the West
over the mountains in an easterly direction. The object was golden in
color, much brighter than the reflection of the sun and 3 to 4 times
brighter than Venus. The core of the object was golden--yet darker

than the rest of the object--more like a golden gray. The ovdject was
not the shape of a cigar or submarine nor oval like an egs, but wes

a shape between those two. The object travelled at terri A.

over the mountains to the Park (West to East). As it approached the

park it appeared to be a finger width above the horizon, (as viewed with
fingers held to eye). The object made a high speed turn which was a

perfect right angle and headed South for a short distance, { the

distance as viewed between 2 telephone poles). The object then made another
right angle turn very abruptly and went straight up. The object

appeared to start a backward roll as some planes do when bombing. At

this time the object was lost from sight. This viewing oceurred during

a spread of only seconds. The brightness of the Pree did not increase

nor diminish during the course of the maneuvers.”
