First of all, I want to impress upor you that I have been
connected with aviation over the years (as in earlier
years, an armchair enthusiasts in later year am very fami-
liar with types of aircraft, their behavior, and th behavior of

At this late date, it is impossible for me to remember the
exact night of our experier - one of the e things I learned you lwish
on a report but everthing else is vivid in my mind.
The night was clear. but there was no moon The temp-
erature was warm enough yore only light sweaters. It was
around nine o'clock, fo hat is the normal time we return home
from washing at the laundromat. I do not remember if it were a

nce we re liv-
ing at Street.
We were almost to our home on traveling north on
that street, large,fiery red ball atracted our attention.
It was, I first judged, about half-mile to the north, at an alti-
tude of about 10o0-2e00 feet, which would put the object at the
northern limits of Cro own Hill Cemetery. It was traveling from West
to East.
The size of the ball was so large, and its appear of
such a nature, that I thought at first it was a private ircraft,
burning and falling to the earth. In fact, for seconds, I
was certain the object was a falling plane, particularly because of
the speed, which I judged to 1200 mph. iowever, when I
drove the Iength of Panoth lock north of our home)for a
closer look, the object glowed a orilliant red, and slowed so much
that I decided it was a helicopter with some sort of a large flare.
It's downward fall, which had been at first on a 2o degree angle,
was now almost vertical, and I could attribute this only to a heii- 1003725
cppter especially when the object was descending very slowly after
an earl: approach.

The object was almost at roof-top level when we turned
north on Wadsworth, and it was still to my left, although because
of the turn we made, it was more to my front - in other words in the
left corner of my windshield. Suddenly the object moved at a faster
speed, hanging its' course to northeast. It moved so rapidly that
it faded away in size, despite the fact I was moving 50 mph 1ts
direction. It finally headed du line with Wadsworth,
and grew smaller, giving every indicatic moying at a high rate
of speed. I 11 chased" the object but all the time it
pulled away. (The lights were intersections, and I was
able to maintain my 50 Suddenly, the object disappeared,

I watched all the news media for the next week, and no one
