Observer: .
John W. Meckel, 47, saw the peculiar objeet first. He was
approaching Whitney Rd., driving south on Big Creek Parkway,
when he first spotted it. He made a left turn onto Whitney Rd. and
pulled off onto the shoulder. He got out of the car to observe the
object which was not very high above the trees and houses across
the road, just south of them, after observing for a minute or two,
he was still undeeided what it was. He thought it might possibly be
a remote - control "something" operated byteenagers nearby. When
the object which was hovering, started a rocking motion, he felt it
was ready to move off. His curiosity drovehim to follow it wherever
it went. He got into the car started the engine, and told his wife to
keep it in view. Up to this moment she had been searching and
found it only at the moment he entered the car. His description
(III) is below.
The colors of the upper section were"dutl"; the divisions were
definite. The colors (faded) were
pared the fan's blades. "It looked tear-drop, upside down,
only huge." F this point on it w observed by his-wife, Both
said the object was at very low altitude; "about twice as high as
nearby telephone poles." Both said it had its own light source. It
had solidity, substance, body, according to the observers. At
arm's length both reports said it was larger than a grapefruit.
Huge was their most often-used adjuective. Huge was their most often-used adjuective.
After following it the object suddenly went E. as indieated by
the diagram. Mr. Meckel then attempted a right turn at the first
road east. They turned down aroad and were a few hundred yards road east. They turned down aroad and were a few hundred yards
down it when it (UFO) suddenly reversed its course, again parallel- down it when it (UFO) suddenly y reversed its course, again parallel-
ing S.R. 42, accelerating and rising as it disappeared into the dis-
tance. Its sudden right turn and its reversing path were not smooth tance. Its sudden righit turn and its reversing path were not smooth
ares but angular movements. Mrs. Meckel felt that there was a
dark, long or oval shape with the light.
One object, no sound, trail, exhaust, no E.M. effects noted, no
heat, 8-10 min. duration. Observers: Mr. and Mrs. John W.
Meckel.

dark.) It shot up vertically. My husband seemed to sense this
object was going to "move out" and had gotten into the car again
telling me to keep it in view and direct him. There I was,
arm extended, sizhting off the end of forefinger through the
telephone wires, leaning out as far as I dared. We were then
travelling east. The object during its spinning seemed to have
diminished to one ouarter of its size and ir the sky appeared to

Charles Traoy at the newspaper office immediately after the pro-

resulted in a meeting and we learned for the first time about
N.I.C.A.P. in Washington D.C. and various Ufolosy Projects.
On Monday, July 20, 1964, I also called N.A.S.A. and
was told no one there was qualified to discuss this type of phe-

bolide meteor. The gentleman went into the business of the dif-
