sort, flying out cbout 3000 to 4000 ft. It was an amphibian (later
iienticied oa Sa-l6). Then I proceeded to welk south along the property

As the cbject approached the eirplane and hovered over it, it appeared As the cbject approached the airplane and hovered over it, it appeared
to be nore distinet. I don't know whether this wes bee-use of speed
or whether it wes gettieg closer to me. I believe tho plane wes
3000 or 4000 ft. in the southerly direetion and it naintained the
direction throughout the whole series of ovents. At this time I was
looking in a weaterly direction when the plene end the seucer were

However, I was umable to estimate its distanee from the sirereft and
so cannot give you an ecourate eatimate of its size mue to its unkmown
relationship to the circrmft. As it approsched the eirplane it appeared
to be nore of a discus ahape and flatten cut. Its leading sdge was
somewhat rounded, pointed but not sharp. It elowed up over the circraft
and hovered above for a few seconds. As it hovered over the alrereft
it appeared that the treiling edge was lower than the leading edge.
It hovered over the airoraft for a few seconds, maintaining the aome
speed of the sirceraft. I em unable to estimate the longth of time over
tho sirersft. It seemed to mush over the sireraft und waivered a little
bit as though it were just above stalling speed,of thmmireraft. At
that time it was in observation of the other cbeervers. It atsyed over
the airereft for a fow seeonds and then ampeared to tilt its leading

I saw no trails of orny kind. I watched it about 20 or 30 seconds,
that is just an estimate. It was over the sirplane, almost directly

to this airplane and I noticed a yollowiah-w ite object on top of the
airplana. I just noticed it about a second or two and the object took
off above the clouds. It was on not quite a 45 degree angle when it
took off. It was a roundlah discus. It didn't go up, it didn't go

I should say it wosn't too for above the irplane. I vould estimate
