TACTICS: When first sighted, the UFO was moving between the observer's camp site and a mountain side; it made a sharp, almost 270° turn and sped away curving back in the direction from which it had come; as it moved away from the observer, its color turned to a dark blue from red; sometimes it remained stationary, then would make a speed-dash, changing color as it changed speed and direction. COMMENTS: The object was bright enough for the observer to view it through a handkerchief in order to determine its configuration. The observer, on a lone camping trip at the time, was first attracted to the object by hearing the wail (?) of an animal on a nearby hillside. He looked up and saw the UFO.
