However, this came to naught since they admitted that the dog had
behaved this way before and since. However, they said the dog's
actions were similar to those which occur when a dog hears one of
these high-pitched dog whistles inaudible to humans. Mr.
said the he "f: .gured ogs knew something we didn't". He said the
light was very bright, something like a large yard light. The
duration was about ten minutes, all told He also stated that the
dog whined a lot before the sighting hat he had been uneasy
all evening. This, of course, proves not At closest, Mr.
thought it was about a quarter of a mile away, just at

saving time in the middle of August, and thus the sky slio
still have been reasonably bright. Witness said sighting curred
at night and sky very blue. Perhaps she thinks that anyti, .

Since by an admitted breakdown in communications the Dover
Air Force Base delayed some five months ir investigating this case,
all I have is the NICAP report. Evaluation pending my getting a
copy of the Air Force investigation of same. Based on NICAP
report, the sighting is obviously unidentified.

I have only the card on this case, but judging from it there
seems to be a possibility that this one-witness case was caused
by low-flying birds reflecting light. The sighting lasted 4 to
j0 seconds, and witness mentions a high-pitched chirping noise.
I had a great personal involvement in this case, much of it
