I.At 260343z )an unidentified aerial object was observed
through & Theodolite,by one (1) maintenance man and two (2) weather observers
while following an Apibal balloon.
Verbatum statements are as follows:
Weather man oner
*At 26/osa3z.I sighted an unidentified objeot in the theodolite field of view
while following ipibalballoon. The object was very bright silver color and
appeared ellipticel shaped. It seemed at a great distance from the station.
I called the other weather observer to confirm the sighting and together we
followed it for five (5) minutes during which time it moved at the same altitude
in a south southwest direction at the same speed until the last minute (near
end of sighting) when it picked up speed and faded from sight. The sky condition
was scattered and the visibility unlimited. There were no stars visible at the
time".
Weather man two:
"An unidentified object was encountered (observed) at approximately 26/03452. "An unidentified object was encountered (observed) at approxinately 26/0345z.
Description as seens Object was, silver hlue in color and shape was similiar Description as seen: Object was. silver hlue in color and shape was similiar
to a pear. Direction to which object was moving was l62 degrees according to
the theodolite".
Maintenance mans
"On 2s0344Z.this airman observed an unidentified object by way of theodolite. "On 2s0344Z.this airman observed an unidentified object by way of theodolite.
(Airman saw objeot three (3) times and convinced that it was not hysteria).
To the best of my descriptive abilities I shall attempt to describe what I saw.
It was a very small but very prominent object in the viewing instrument. It
was silver in color and twinkled like a star only at a greater freqnency
(brilliance). It was also definitely moving. The shape was noted to be oblong
and flat. I definitely and beyond a shadow of a doubt do not believe it was an
aircraft such as I know".
2. "The detachment commander was unable to verify the sightings as the
object was lost in the view of the theodolite in a matter of a few minutes".
