Reference is made to AFR 200-2, dated 12 August 26 l-tas adv!sea both of the arren AFB, Wyoming, that they had observed unidenti- fie d flying objects at approJdmately 2400 hours, 22 l!g,y 1955, approxi- mately five miles south of Cheyenne, Hyorn.ing, -while their car was parked on US Highway 1/85. 2. At approximately 1600 hours, 26 May 1955, both airmen were interviewed and the follo~ng infonnation was obtained: a. Description of objects. (1) Shape.

Objects Nos. 3 and 4 appeared to be an undetermined height, a con- siderable cli3tance above the horizon .. (3) Angle of elevation and azimuth of objects upon dis- appearance. Objects Nos. 1 and 2 appeared to ascend slightly and diaap?ear from sight. Objects Nos. 3 and 4 beean a south rd ascending movement and went out of sight in approximately t e n seconds. (4) Hanner or disappearance. Objects Nos.. 3 and 4 dis- appeared from sight due to height and distance. (5) Length of time in sight. Objects Nos. 1 observed approxitr:.ately five to six seconds, then disappeared. Objects Noso 1 and 2 then appeared for approximately ten seconds. Object No. 3 appeared and uas observed for approximately five minutes. Object No. 4 appeared ta move into sight along side No. 3 moving in a \-lesterly direction. ( 6) :Henner of observation.

Wyoming On the 22nd t1ay 1955, three other airmen and myself were on t.he Denver hi(~hw1-:1y corning back to the base or bed check when our car \-Tent out of gas. We pulled to v stop on e hill. About 10 miles from Cheyenne. We stop~ed a car on the highway E.and we told two of the other airmen to go get gas \thile nd ~self atoyed vith the car, betw~en ~400 hours cnri 0100 "hours. I looked out of the right front window end I saw o funny l eaking object it t-ras shaped something like a pF?ncil with a white light all erom1d it. The object remained for about 10 seconds then disappecred. About one minute lDter it was there ogain, then there was a flr.sh of light end there were tHo of them they started mov:i ng skyward r:.nd then they t~ere gone. As soon rJS thay w~re out of sight suddenly in the spot they disappearYl from th~re weretuo cone sheped objects they had a sort of ~bite color et first then changed to a bluish purple color at first. Then as they moved skyward they kept getting brig~ter and I could see them glittering then they were gone from sight. Airmen Shapiro and myself just looked at each other, and I said I guess we should report it, so at 0730 Monday morning 23 1'-1ay 1955 we reported what happened to M/Sgt Francis J. Martin. Wevere coming back from Grely on route 85 when this all happened. blu"i sll nnrol3,
