or four miles away, and oughly three tin as bright as th ne most brilliant
star. At first, we though was a plane or a helicopter, but, aside from the
brilliant white light, there no other lights vigible. It moved oddly; it
would slow dowm, then suddenly speed up. At times it aopeared to wobole. After
a while, a tree blocke om view, and it did not reappear. We could see
nothing except this white light, which was about the size of a dime at arm's
length. We heard no sound and the object did not change color. We had this
object in sight from four to seven minutes. ooJeee in sight 1

2. The description you provided is similar to others we have
received or aircraft with their landing lights on. Since aircraft
flight records for September have long since been destroyed, it is
too late to positively determine if there were any aircraft in the
area at the time. Aircraft can often be seen but not heard, if the
wind is blowing away from the observer.
3. We thank you for completing our foru, and your report will be
filed with others of t that time period. Once again, thank you for
ever observe another unidentified flying object, please report it
to the nearest Air Force base for they are in a far better position
to conduct an on-the-spot investigation.
