The object then cli~ed almost perpend1cularl:r to the tarraln to bot .40,000 and 50 000 reet, and then dP3cended at An angle of 25 de- to lts ori;inal altitude. This cycle was ropeated twice for a total of 3 cycles ot-the objectappearedto be raster than a jet type aircraft, but its exact could not be preoiaely estimated. '~. Bare could not estimate the len~h of .the. object ' yariou oCNrlea, or the length ot time that lt; re:naioed on aey one courae, or altitude. 1'he oolar ot the ~ject was a blue-~reen while traveling stra1;ht and level and then" changed, rapidly to a brlght blul:;h-graen llhlle climbing or de9cend1n~. rlhll cltmblng t.b~ ~bjects shape appeared to be that or a disc. 2.
