I looked tovard the direction ot the sound, the ncrtheast and in a mo.nt saw a ailftr.r object. This va trawltrw blah in a westerly direction, seemiDlT over the main baae. Suddenly to rq amasement the object to be a sil ve~ circular disk traftling on ita ad& lnla "Flying Saucer" ard I ran to r,et rq neiabbor, fl.ra. , so that ahe too mi.ght obeern it ancl hear the unusual sound. \lith her brGther, we hastened to the clear area west ot their quarters, but could see nothi.n, onl;r the continuation ot the roar. It was deaf'enin8 in its pitch and rq eara ached tor almost an hour atter-4rda. I have neTar heard anythirw like it. It wasn't like jeta which hit a crescendo and are gone or the drone of other airplanes with a elicht break, but a constant, monotonoaa aouncl. I noticed no vapor streaks as trae jets. I would guess that I actuall.v eaw the object about 11:20 and that with the others beard the roar tor live minutes as we d1scus8ed " ra" and the sound. Then I deliberate~ ve17 serioaal:r before callin in the intomation. It it had be4!n onl,, the apnearance, I would haft discounted what I aav, but couplet! with the aound which two others t.hOU&ht unuwal, I reported tbe crat't. 'nle operator connected th line with Captain Hal~ at Seneca OrdaMce as he was tta. one to report to. . At lla42 our who 1a al.ost nine, caM daahln in to tel~ N ehe had ... a t aUney object, traftl !rM the southwest oftr the hoapital, uldn a tumv no1.se. She thousht it had .. _.. oilw in ot it". She had no~ beard rr.e talklrw to l:ra. or Captain Haley, but she had been out playi~ with our 8ixtften months old 80ft. From the size she showed with her hands, the object ~to her about the aise of .a .Uvery dollar, whUe to me it h'ld seemed more the siBe or bowl ot a teacup, rather than the aise or a ssueer to u .. the popular terms. ~aptain H3187 called me back to tell me a single jet was eirclirg Ordna.nce. U~CI!Ass'tt-IE.o BT la30 I head other aircraft in the area, but the 8nun:l was completely different. SowJil. times I went out, but could never .aee any. For this reason I feel the strange craft was !-!UCH LAHGr.=:R and l1JCH HIGHER than anr ot these an~ produced a much ereater noise. !he dq was hau, verr alight bree .. , warm enough to be out without a MMatr or coat. 'ft1ere were white clouds in streaky layers. I oan best describe the altitude 1n terms or a clock. Standing at the tiw, M'ld loo~ betw.a the ten and eleven, the object was about three inches 1n diameter. I could s~e the entire circular ct, with the sil?er,r streak brightest up and down th"-1 the center but notbinl which chqed the circular shape. It was seerai.n!'-3 atUl for the few eeoonda while I stared at it tor I waw it so ver.r distinctly. Yet it was so Q1dckq aight thoueh not froM hearln&. I hAft been one of thoae skeptics who laughed about "Flying Saucers". Yeaterdq I heard them discussed &!1d my thought was not to dlscoNr a ~ns Saucer", but to identit:." aircraft tor my cr..m sati stactlon. In alnao.t ten ~are worki111 on newspapers, I havemwer h~ such a terrif.rlnl or awe-insplrlns experience: it is absolutelY incredible. I .. alad two other persona heard it that I lmow and I hooe th~re are others wbo saw it to substantiate 1111' report. Very trul7, 3 6 50 ~-!eclical Group Sa!Bp1an Air Force Base, N.Y;
