in the traffic pattern. Looking up he observed eircreft and slightly

to the left oe Se ster ad aaah oot porto oo shape
moving about at eppro: g000 lecding ebout due north,
Ee immediately calledS/Sgt Gereld E. Newman, T/Szt Joseph Ruvolo end Miss
Jannette Merie Scotte, Witnesses all verified the sighting and the direction
of the objects - all three stated thet the objects were mving towerd Mojave,
Calif.

G8

Witness was sure it was not en opticel illusion or that the objects were not
weather balloons since they treveled against prevailing wind and since the
speed at which they traveled and the horizontal direction taken indicated
that they were not weather belloons, Furthermore they could not remain at
the seme altitude so consistently if they were weather balloons,

Witness then attempted to get personnel (medical officers) to further verify
the sighting but by the time the additional personnel had arrived at the

sgme the original objects had disapnesred due to the speed at which they were
traveling, However, two of them sighted a third object of a silver spherical
or disc-like nature at approximately $000 ft traveling in circles over the
north end of the airfield, Five out of the seven personnel sew this object
All looked away from the object several times to make sure there wes no eye
strain, He steted that this object performed too tight a circle to de

any type of known aircraft.

Pointing up in a direction directly above the group he asked them to explain
What they saw. Witness stetes that she saw 2 silver-colored disc-like objects
flying toward Mojave, Calif, one directly back of the other, at a sveed of
about 300 to 400 MPH at en altitude of epproximately 6,000 ft. She listened
cerefuily for e few mimutes but could hear no drone such as occasioned by any
‘sirereft. Casting her eyes for a moment in another direction and then looking
back to the same spot she wes able to distinguish the seme objects again,
Assured that it was not eye-strain, she wes convinced the objects were not
weather balloons due to the horizontel position in whbh they traveled, Nor
could they have been birds d@ince they reflected the sun's rays,

Some three or four mimes after the objects had nearly disappeared she saw
another flying object similar to the above-mentioned objects, It wee silver
colored and disc-like in shape, Unlike the first two, it flew in a tight circle,
neither losing nor gaining altitude, at spproximately 8,000 ft. She thought

at pti too tight a circle to have been eny type eaircreft with which she
was familiar.

Statenent given by Major J, GC, Mise, Test Pilot, Mares Army Air Field,
Maroc, California. : * -

On 7 July 1917, at approximately 10310, while running up the XP=8, on
the ground I noticed everyone ims looking up into the air. Off to the
north about 10,000 to 12,000 feet altitude, was an object that I assumed
at first to be a weather balloon, but after looking at it for a while I
noticed that it was oscillating in a forward whirling movement without
losing altitude. It was traveling about 800 to 225 MPH, and heading from west

object was yellowish white in color and I would estimte that
in diameter. :

it was a sphere about 5 to 10 fect

No smoke flames, propellar arks, engine noise, or other clasuable or visible

When the object dropped to a level such that comes into line of vision
of the mountain tops, it was lost to the vision of the observer.

It is estimated that the object was in line of vision about seconds.

outline and functional appearance.

2. It's sise was not ar from 25 fest with a parachute cantgy.

On the evening ot June 12 about 6:15, a nei, eben
another neighbors, glanced into the sky toward the West, and saw what we thought
was smoke from ah airplane. She mentioned that she had never seen that “before, so
we stopped to look and listen, thinking we would see the plane. But there was

no sound, so we kept looking until we saw a tiny object from which the vapor

was emitting, It was so far away we could not d ne the size or even the
shape. Its only identity was a glisten in the sun. We had watched this one for
a few seconds, when fron the general direction of the sun, another object shot
into the sky. It followed the general direction of the first, shooting up and
down before settling to a south-easterly course across the sky, where we followed
them until they were only a glisten and the vapor could no longer be seen, After.
the objects were gone, we continued to look and to watch the vapor that had been
left which now looked like clouds but kept a shape, and this shape seaned to glide
across the sky to the East where there was a black streak leading to the horizon,
The vapor stayed in the sky for over an hour,

told the lad that the objects were in all probability
some sort of Army Navy test planes from the nearby test centers on the
deserts of Sourthern California, The objects resembled the pictures that
I have seen of the XF5U-1, the so called "Flying Flapjack" that the Navy
is testing. At approximately 125 I went back into the yant to sit and lie
in the shade. At this time the objects reappeared going from North to South,
although this time there were only seven of the articles. When I first saw
the original ten objects they were flying in a "“v" formation with one object
seemingly straggling in the rear of the formation. When the objects appeared
the second time they were still in the "V" formation although there was
only seven of the objects at this time. I rembmber at this time that I told

3 the lad, who was still working on the lawn, that probably three of the objects

( ) had proceeded back to their base on a different course. I actually thought
that this was the case, that the other three objects had probably gone back
to their base on the other side of the mountains from Bakersfield. I am
firmly. convinced that the articles I saw are actually some sort of flying
machines although I cannot say from where they came or to where they were going.

At approximately 1520 Sgt Cook from the Cé's office notified the observer
(t/Sgt Quinton A Blackwell) that according to Ft Know Military Police &
"BY Town State Police, a large circular object about 250 to 300 ft in
diameter was over Mansville + Advised him to check with Army Flight
Sve. They advised negative shortly thereafter reported object over

Irvin gtan then Owensboro « Object first sighted by Blackwell about
over south Codinant ru.

Verification: 1st It Orner (Detachment Commander)
Capt Carter (Operations Officer)
Col Hix (CO) sighted it about 1420

At approximately 1430 to 140, four P-51's approached Godman £/south
enroute f/Marietta, Ga, to Standiford Fld, Ky. a Blackwell asked
Flight Leader NG 869 to attempt to identify object. Accompanied by two

other planes he proceeded south f/Godman, Fourth plane proceeded to
Standiford Fld alone.

About 145, flight leader (NG 869) reported sighting object "ahead and
above — still climbing" At 15,000 ft he reported "Object directly ahead
and above and moving about half my speed." Again "it appears metallic

of tremendous size." Still later "I'm still climbing - object is above and
ahead moving about my speed or faster - I'm trying to close in for better
look", This was about 1515, Five minutes later the other two ships turned
back. NG 800 reported "it appeared like the reflection of sunlight on an
airplane canopy" Shortly afterward this same pilot (NG $00) resumed search

At approx 1420 7 Jam 48, Duesler accompanied by Lt Col B. G. Wood went to
Godman Control Tower to observe am umidemtified aerial object. Shortly

after their arrival Col Hix, the Commanding Officer was summoned, At about
this time Duesler first sighted a bright silver object. Then Col Hix arrived.
Shortly thereafter a flight of four P-51's flew over Godman. Leader was
contacted to pursue object. He assented and three P=51's climbed om the course,
the fourth P-51 returning to base. Flight leader called to observe that
“object was twelve o'clock high," Asked to describe it, he stated "it is
bright and climbing away from me." He stated at first that it was going sbout
180 MPH, ‘Then Control Tower lost sight of the flight tut could still see the
object. (In connection with this, Lt Col E. Garrison Wood who witmessed the
sighting stated that while it appeared about 1/10 the size of a full mon, if
the were a great distance away, 98 compared to the dimimishing size of
the P-51's flying toward it, it would seem that it was at least several hundred
fect in dismeter.) Shortly after NG 861, the flight leader, stated that

he was "at 15,000 ft and still climbing" He stated that he judged the speed
to be ‘the seme as his or approx 360 MPH, One of his planes then asked him .

to level off but no reply was heard from the flight lesder, That was the

last message received from amy member of the flight.

After dark, another or the same object appeared im approx 234° from Godman at
6° elevation, This body moved to the west (259°) and then dow. The shape
was fluid but generally round with no tail, the color changing from white, to
blue, to red to yellow and had a black spot im the center at all times.

At 1600 CST it was obscured by clouds.

NOTE: Later, an astronomer was contacted who beter Nite to account for
this phenomena as either Venus or a comet. (7)

ALSO: Report of civilians and state police and corroborated version
on this incident.

Two flying discs trailing jet-like streams of fire were sighted from the

Lee Williamson radio-telephoned the United Press, The discs moved at
tremendous speed out of the north horizon and curved in a westerly direction
in a long low arc, Thought they were moving between 700 to 900 MPH,

Didn't think they were meteors because they generally do not travel in pairs
and usually fall to the horizon, Thought they were ying discs"

Four "flying saucers" were seen by Constable Kearsey's wife just before
his arrival home at approx 11:30, on 9th of July. AMr, John Jackman,

a resident of St. John's and a friend of the family also witnessed then.
They were flying in an easterly direction, and appeared to be four round
figures that had passed overhead at terrific speed, flying side by side.

On looking skyward, Constable Kearsey, himself, perceived a lmge jelly-fish
flash across the sky. Could not determine the height and speed owing to
the brief period it was visible. Could not determine color but there seemed
to be a phosphorescent glow about it. It was found in shape and about the
size of a barrel head, and appeared tobe flying in a rocking motion.

no audible sound was produced while it in view. The tail of the object
had two points on the outside area, visible as it made its two left-to-right
circles which had en approximate radius of 1/4 to 1/2 miles, The object had
what appeared to be a cockpit canopy in the center which extended toward the
back and beneath the object. The "cockpit" did not protrude from the surface
but was clearly visible with the naked eye. The object did not revolve on its
own exis, It had no discernible landing gears nor propellers. It appeared to
have an excellent air foil (tapered from wing tip to wing tip). Mr. Rhodes
thought that the 10-15 MPH wind velocity which caused a rustling of tree leaves
might have made it impossible for him to hear any noise connected with the object.
He also stated that he thought the object was the Navy's new "Flapjack Plane"

but altered his opinion since the object seemed to have no landing gears and no
propellers, (The Navy ship is illustrated as having both). Rhodes managed to
take one photograph of the object at its lowest point (about 2000 ft) end

another as it turned out of its second spiral and started upwerd,

Ov ject appeared to be moving up end down and from side to side. At one

time the object was covered by a cloud but the light could be seen thru the
cloud, It was the same color as a star only very much brighter sometimes
chenging to a more reddish hue then turning white or yellow. At first

it did-not appeer to be traveling at any speed. Then it seemed to go up and
down and sometimes change off and go from side to side at what seemed to be
avery great speed. It seemed pretty high in the air - too high to be any
kind of a light from the ground, There wes no beam. No sound could be
heard, A faint exhaust trail was discernible when it moved up or down or
from side to side, Finally it began to move away toward the SW at very great
speed and disappeared over the horizon at about 20:00,

was green (at leest thru the field glasses it appeared green) During the

time it wes under observation a cloud passed under it and the light shown thru.

According ‘to this observer the object was not a balloon, a comet, star or

At the time of the sighting the weather was clear over the Base, with a
SouthOWest wind which was moderate, There was an overcast in the SE which
appeared to be a layer approximately 1000 feet thick, The height of this
overcast was approximately 5,000 ft. Object seemed to be ner 5 miles

from the field at an altitude of from 15,000 to 20,000 ft. The object

which appeared stationary at first resembled the complete wing of an airplane
on fire. No beam of light was projected, After observing it with the

naked eye for some five mimtes, witness went to control tower and looked thru
field glasses and then decided that it was not a comet or a falljag star

to his knowledge of astronomy, With the aid of the glasses the object
appeared to go from an altitude of15,000 to 10,000 feet without any noticable
forward or backward motion, and then back up to its original altitude very
rapidly. This occurred some 3 or 4 times. When it moved a red light would
dominate end change to a green light and then back to its original color.

It then started to reced on a heading of 210° going behind the overcast.
However, the light was discernible thru the overcast, It then moved very
rapidly away, stopping momentarily for 3 or 4 mimte intervals end then
di'sappe over the horizon at 19855, No sound was heard. No photographs
were taken (From a signed statement nd account)

Object seemed to be some sort of flere. Witness thought it was some
eircraft in trouble. Requested the tower to take a look at it to
determine if it were a flere. It appesred, with the naked eye, to be

a@ very bright light the color of ordinary fire which lost and regained
altitude in the manner of a paracmte flare riding on thermals. The
intensity of the light varied. This was attributed to clouds passing
inecfxamt below; however, the light was readily discernible thru the
clouds. The sky was clear to scattered. When the object was compared

to the stars there was a decided difference. Stars were of the usual
white; this object was yellow or flame color. When first seen it appeared
to be about 4,000 ft but disappecring over the horizon would make it much
higher, The movement was very slow in appearance and it left no trails

or tails like a meteor or comet. Place of disappecrance was approximately

Objects were brought to Mrs. Krueger's attention by Mrs. Evens. Mrs Krueger
saw "a most umusual thing drop out of the sky. I think it was a flying
seucer as I have never seen anything equal to it before" She then states that
she saw what appeared to be 2 round orange colored discs or balls, the one
being smaller, and that these objects appeared to descend vertically toward
the earth in a slow and steady manner until disappearing from their sight.
Mrs. Evans said that Mrs Krueger observed two objects (apparently rel2ted) but
that they were originally one object which separated at about the time Mrs.
Krueger sighted it.

All witnesses+ (Mrs. Evans, her son and Mrs Krueger) agree on the following:

Color and size - that of an old-fashioned gas light which had a yellow, red or
amber shade. Outline was distinct and did not eppear eflame
or irregular. No noise or sound of kind, No smoke or exhaust
trails seen. Shape oval to round. All stated that it was
not to their knowledge a balloon, diri.ible, flare, parachute
or any other known object and all seemed to have a pretty good
knowledge as to the appearance of the fore-going.

On 28 June 47 XEXXNBBXEST in e P-51 bound for Portland, Oregon, by way of
Medford, Oregon, at approx 1515 CST (course of 300°) and ground speed of

285 MPH, altitude 10,000 ft, approximately 30 miles NW of Lake Meade, Nevada,
Lt Armstrong sighted 5 or 6 white, circular objects at 4:00,pumttion altitude
approximately 6,000 ft, on a course of 120° and flying at an estimated speed
of 285 MPH. The objects were flying very smoothly and in a close formation,
The estimated size of the white objects was approximately 36" in diameter.

Lt Armstrong wes sure the white objects werehot birds since the rate of
closure was very fast. He was certain too that the white objects were not
Jets or conventional aircraft since he has flown both.

AGENT'S NOTES:

Lt Armstrong wes very sincere in the explanation and was not the exagerating
type. He merely stated what he saw and drew no conclusions, -

Witnesses were walking when they observed a peculiar reddish light.

They thought at first ‘that + the light wes a shooting star but it left

no streak, It appeared again and they thought it wes a plene flying at

very wigmt high altitude. Then a mumber of intermittant flashes were observed
for three minutes. After observing the abrupt darts of light and hearing

no hum of motors they conéluded that it was definitely not a plane,

as the maneuvers appeared too abrupt.

At 2045 hours, 6 July 47, Staff Sergeant Livingston's attention was called
by a neighbor (a Mr. Herman M. Sockwell) to witness some "flying discs"

The objects appesred in the west of Birminghum and were traveling southeast.
They appeared to be 2000 above the horizon at a 45° angle at an unestimated
distance away, They were approximately 2 ft in diameter, and round. They
produced a dim glow of light end were traveling at an estimated speed of
500 to 600 MPH. The object (or objects) appeared to be traveling in a
definite arc rather than straight, and as soon as one was out of sight,
another would appear behind it but not always in the same path. One seemed
to come straight up. The view of its source was obstructed by a nearby
house but upon reaching the altitude of approximately 2000 ft it started off
in the. seme direction as the others, Sergeant Livingston says that he did
not at any time see more than one object at a time, and tho it could have
been one object it was his personal opinion that there were seven to ten
objects. The discs were silent and appeared composed of a single light.

Capt Jack Peck and his Copilot Vince Daly stated that on 4 Ang at sunset
they sighted and followed a"flying seucer" northwest of Bethel, Alaska,
The object which appeared as large or larger in mass than a C-54 and
black in color appeared silhouetted against a brilliant evening sky. In
order to avoid a possible collision (being unable at first to determine
in what direction the object was moving) they pulled up to about 1200 ft
in order, to avoid possible collision. The object crossed their path at
right angles to them. Seeing that it was moving away from them at a very
rapid rate and flying at an altitude of from 500 to 1,000 ft they swing
in behind it and followed it at an air speed of 170 MPH but the thing was
out of sight in four minutes, They state the object was smooth-surfaceiand

streamlined and resembled tatxsf a C-54 without motors (from the rear) and was |
without wings or any visible mens of propulsion whatever, Wind was negligible |

and it was on a NW course.

Official in Charge of the Airlines for which Peck was working states that the
pilot is not the "imaginative type".
