it is time to up-grade the priority of local AFB investigation of
civilian UFo sightings and use the help of groups like ourselves.

It is very apparent to me that "Bluebook" is certainly not representative

The following
and personal interviews with the witnesses and is considered a
reasonable summary of the events recorded in more detail within

Gary was visiting his sister and had brought his telescope with him
in anopen field behind her house. Gary and Francis noticed a very
bright star-like light source ear the pointer stars of Ursa Major
at about ll:O0 PM but did much attention to it even though
they had a general feeling th re should be no bright star in
this portion of No thought to turn the telescope on
it at this time being viewed. However, Francis
saw the "star" begin to at l:Oo AM and called Gary's attention
to it who changed his eyepiece from 350X to 75X and adjusted his
mount and focus for viewing it. The light source was white when
its flight. He described a baton-shape with exaggerated bright white
lights forming the balls on reo light cem abo ve the
tubular section of the baton-shape and 5 dimmer lights tered in a
straight line along the tubular section which flashed -and-off,
ONE-at-at-time backwards and forwards in a l-2-3-4-5-4 -2-1 Sequence.

The speed of the object was constant and although no estimate was made
in-terms-of speed measured in miles-per-hour, it was compared to the
speed and motion of a helicopter by ancis.
The object in Westerly and Easterly flight paths.
My initial compass readings with the witnesses indicated that they were
looking at NNE and ENE flight terminus points or an arc of 45°. complete
pass back-and-forth would have involved 90 an arc. No one could
remember how many times the object performed this back-and-forth maneuver
and it varied between estimates of 6 -1o times. 6 such maneuvers in the
course of 30 minutes would have meant a time duration of 5 minutes for
each complete back-and-forth maneuver or an angular velocity of l8° per
minute. 10 such maneuvers in 30 minutes would elocity
of 30° per minute.

The UFO certainly exhibited typical UFO characteristics such as: -
Cylindrical configuration 2) Unconventional lights (flashing
sequence comparable to Exeter, N.H. 9/3/65 and others) 3) No sound
4) abrupt reversal in direction )Turning off lights as jet
approached 6) Color change with motion, i.e white/stationary to
orange/movement 7) Prolonged hovering 8) oximity to power lines

highly potential significance. If the Colorado
Team's evaluation confirms the NICAP SUBCOM evaluation that the object
was a UFO, then, this report would indicate some kind of INTELLIGENCE
on the part of the UFO either by operators or by instruments. The fact
that it responded to variety of signals a flashlight with exact
duplication within 1 seconds of the stimlus whelmingly points to
INTELLIGENCE. It is j indeed reat pity object did not make
close-rang that it was not by others from different
locations, not photographs, radar-tracking, Perhaps
some of this informatio will be gathered by the Colorado Team some
may come to our attention. I The fact that other sightings ccuring
in this general area is also significant.
The practical use of the NICAP MASS SUBCOM in conjunction with the
Colorado UFO Project was both enjoyable and dinstructive. The fact
that we existed to perform preliminary "legwork" permitted their
investigation to be conducted expeditiously. It is hoped that better-
trained and more Subcommittees will be formed and tied into the Early-
Warning warning Troceudd e. Procedure.

FIREBALL of 1967 July 24.69 G.M.T.
A.M.S. No. 2396
This fireball is unique, so far as the writer knows, in that it appeared over the Atlantic
and its solution wholly depends upon reports from four airplanes. These were kindly
sent me by H. E. Roth, Project Director, Volunteer Flight Officer Network, United
Airlines, Denver, Colo. It appeared at 16:36 G.M.T. The essential data follow in order;
flight number, longitude and latitude of airplane, estimated bearing and altitude of flight number, longitude and latitude of airplane, estimated bearing and altitude of 1

trail lasted from 10-15 min. as seen from 8l1 and also assumed a zigzag shape. It was
bright twilight at all stations. Sun reported rising at 815. Reported colors vary widely;
probably it was green-white. 857 reported no break-up, 814 into 3 or 4 pieces, other
three no comment. Estimates of brightness vary greatly due to proximity of sunrise
point. 811, which was in most favorable position even if most distant, gives 5 to 10 1
times that of Venus. At night its zenithal magnitude may well have been -12 or even
more. For solution, the usual chart, but with scale Imm equal to 3' in latitude, was
prepared. The most probable solution seems to be as follows:
Date A.A..... 1967 Juiy 24.69 G.M.T.
Began over λ=11^00'W=55°47'N,at97 ± 46 km
Ended over λ=10o26'W=5547'N, 81 ± 50 km
Projected path 35 km
Path 39 km
Radiant uncorrected a=92°,h=24.5
Radiant cor. for z a=92°h=22
α=246^,=8+19^$
It is obvious that the solution is too approximate to rant calculation of an orbit,
but, despite the excessive probable errors in the heights, the conditio are too unique 1
not to place this fireball on record.
