for the constilation. Gemini Well, a looking

I was looking flying at terrific
speed. tfirst meter or a falling
star or some oth explainable. thing-- but hten my thoughts
changed. It began dodging ardund the radio station (tower)
( drawing included). It came from the west out of the
T+s7owed
ing meaning that the sky was cluudless without a moon
A few stars were visible but it was cold. The day before
was cold also and, as matber of fact the whole week
before was cold also.
There weren't any visible burning lights like the other
UFo's have had on them but, I noticed something unusual
everytine it speeded up The whitish blue began to fade.
I didn't think much of it about
sending any imformation of these sightings into the near-
est Air Force Base or Project Blue Book. I never used
to believe in them but I sure do now I'd like know

He had witnessed prior
to this sighting but, was unaware e as to what they were.
On the second sighting he did know they were no simply
lights and was not only shook up but very scared He now
hesitates to look skyward and hurries home new-

I certainly hope I certainly hope he he sees these things things again again as as I I
too have seen them a L prey prev: sightings and ghtings and
I was scared.

by ponhe disappeared after
approximately ten minutes. In another place he mentions that
the object did not disappear while he was watching it. The
description, color-wise, is similar to that of a satellite
observation. An aircraft in the distance could have been
observed and at such a distance, turns would have appeared
much steeper than usual. he turns could account for the color
fading at times.
