Capella, Castor, Pollux, and an undetermined star (possibly Vega) rising in
the northeast. Present were Mr. and Mrs. , and Mr. and Mrs.

Mrs. prepared a considerable amount t of written material, which

out the window"; when they did they saw a b bright red object, low, approaching

the witnesses pointed out the objects to the investigator, who examined them
all carefully by naked eye and with binoculars, and recognized them immediately.
The object which crossed over in front of the car and then went back was
Venus. Mrs.  emphasized that they were going straight up to Chicago, not
east and then after a mile or two back to due north. The turns in the highway
completely account for the "motions" Venus, and the time day and direction
to the object are correct for Venus.

Marlowe called Major Quintanilla, and the investigator was notified and called
Mrs. Marlowe.

esting thing he learned during the interview was that stars can move in the sky,
rising and setting like the sun or moon; he said that this fact certainly ex-
plained a lot of what they had seen, for they had assumed that the slow motion
of the objects meant that they could not b be stars or planets.
The investigator did not express any positive opinions about the worth of

many scientists study precisely such effects by various means.
At the end of the interview, it became evident that Mrs. felt
greatly relieved, especially to
with her mind, a thought which had obviously been weighing more and more heavily
on her (at one point she threw away the board and all written materials associated
with this experience, and tried to forget all about it - but the red lights kept

concern
was also evident, as was his determination to be loyal
believe as she believed.
Despite the fact that the subject-matter proved to be a rather ordinary
series of misidentifications (save perhaps the very first sighting), the
investigator concludes that the results of the trip were well worth the effort.
