Called Miss regarding her sighting of 21 June 1967 at Las Vegas.
Report was there were many contradictions.
The girl turns out t freshman in college and
things. She is a journalism major and I would say all-in-all hat the original
analysis is probably rrect. Instead of possible aircraft, I I would say
probably aircraft. probably aircraft The witness had little recollection of what had been written The witness had little recollection of what had been written
in her report thus indicating that the indicating that original sighting di riginal sighting di d not impress her impress her
very much to begin with. The diagram indicates that the object disappeared very much to begin with The diagr indicates that the object disappeared
in the zenith yet in the telephone conversation she indicated that she never
had to tilt her head very much and that the object always appeared low in the
sky. This is an unreliable and untrained witness and there certainly is no
compelling reason to think she saw anything other than aircraft.
