great velocity. diameter toward the top of the cone-shaped object. The top was crested with a dome, and the entire object emitted a bluish glow. He watched the craft for a period of time which he estimated to be a minute and a half. Then the craft took off at a "square angle," building up great speed instantaneously. Burns estimated the size of the UFO to be 75 feet high and about 125 feet at the base. It had no observable openings or seams. Although the Air Force did not bother to make an immediate investigation, Ernest Gehman, a professor at Eastern Mennonite college, was curious enough to do a little investigating on bis own. Taking a geiger counter to the reported place of landing, he found the radiation concentration at about 60,000 counts per minute. With the use of his geiger counter, the professor could trace the outline of the landing spot, and it checked with Burns' original estimation of the size of the craft. Two Dupont engineers checked the area and found that their readings agreed with Gehman's. Over three weeks after the reported landing, the Air Force condescended to investigate the case. By that time, the area had been subjected to rain, snow, and the trampling feet of many curiosity seekers. The official opinion finally released was that the sightings were mirages. The "mirages" were not content with a single manifestation however. On January 23, 1965, two men traveling on U.S. Highway 60 near Williamsburg reported that they had sighted a hovering cone-shaped object. Although the men were in separate cars and were traveling in different directions, both their cars had stopped as they had approached the object. One report described the object as aluminum colored and cone-shaped. It had hovered over a cornfield next to the stalled motorist for 20 or 30 seconds before it vanished straight up into the air. The driver traveling the opposite direction on U.S. 60 described a similar object likening it to an inverted ice cream cone. He estimated the height at 75 feet and described a "swishing" sound that he heard when he stepped out of his car. As in the first sighting, the object had disappeared straight upward at a Dempsey Bruton, chief of Satellite Tracking on NASA's Wallops Island, Virginia base, was standing in front of his house on January 5, 1965, waiting for the appearance of an artificial earth satellite, when a
