2. Investigator's remarks:
a. After the interview, I drove to the scene of the
alleged Sighting on The terrain is absolute-
ly flat for miles one the highway. The fields
on both sides were recently plowed, and there are scattered
farmhouses and barr this area. The two-lane, paved
highway runs perfectly straight for several miles. Mrs.
Groves, a of this area, stated that she drove over
this stretch highway several times a week.
b. I inquired at an Irrigation Equipment Company on
tbe higbway in the yicinity of the sighting nne1
Mr.
at approximately 10:45 Sunday morning admiring newly-born
twin calves, and nothing unusual was seen or heard. He
said that they remained outdoors for sometime and that the
children had a baseball game within 20 yards of the high-
way.
d. The only unusual observance made by the investigator
was an aluminum fence gate, some distance from the highway,
that caught the sunlight appearance.
This stretch of highway in an area of freshly plowed
fields, which, together with the heat wayes rising from
the ground, give a gre irage effect.
e. Mrs. appears to be a highly excitable person,
possibly due to her pending divorce, training for a new
position with the Telephone Company, living with her parents,

along with her three-year old son, and having to drive
day.
f. I can find no valid explanation for this alleged
sighting. T This is the final report unless further in-
formation is desired.
