Was conversing with a lady teacher of this community just

The subject has to do with a UFo which I had sighted about
two weeks ago, while traveling to the Bureau of Criminal Ident. &
Invest., where I am employed. A the object was to the ground
upon discovery, and moving ever slowly, it gave me time to give
it consideration as not being of birds, aircraft in dif-
ficulty, nor a glider.
The teacher in question advised me that your interests lie

so I presumed it went aloft during the time I was abreast f the bins, along
the road..

assembly should have been noted, if standard aircraft. All cabin, or housing was above assembly should have been noted, if standard aircraft. All cabin, or housing was above
the wing or rotor structure.
