This is an interesting case, with two witnesses. c:.i~f witness was the weather observer for Trans-Texas Airline~l w:1,. vas thoroughly familiar with planes, weather balloons, ct~. Object covered an arc of approximately 100 degrees in 45 ~ . ccntcls, had no visible aerodynamic features, had a bright aftcrghH: nild a uratins movement. No sound. Object seemed to climb h1 ;~;,.:r .very aecond and move from in front of a cumulus cloud to ill back of it, thus siving aome estimate of distance. Object obse(v~d in broad daylight. It is too bad that this one was not much hO \'C thoroughly invutigated since there were two adult witnesn .. : llncl one 14-year old witness. It must be carried as unknown. A: ~lave rated it aa ~ C7. 13. 24 July 1952, Carson Sink, Nevada. Si&hting just three to four seconds in duration, too sh~._,. t: a time to make any definite observations. Witnesses were t'Jo I i.cutenant colonels flying a 125 at 11,000 feet. In view of the fact .. ;iut there were two qualified witnesses, case must be carried as un).rlcn~ified (limited data). 14. 28 December 1953, Marysville, California. A one-witness case. Even though observed by a fairly (i:tnlified witneaa it ia very atrange that there were no other witncf:at"~fl since SubJ: UFO Observation ot 22 July 1952 I asree vitb Dr Jl1nek that the flight ebaracteriatica and duration aa siven certainly don't agree with those of a meteor. Possibly the evaluator had information that haG since been lost. There is in~fficient information nov available for an analysis. To change the evaluation at tbia time, however, would cause an unwarranted amount or work in changing our records.
