Case 167, Los Angeles, Cal., July 16, 1956-We quote from the Los Angeles Esomi,w, as follows : A mysterious light that glowed brilliantly in the sky before it disappeared in a sud- den blaze touched off hundreds of calls to police from resi- dents in the southwestern area. Workers at the control tower International Airport estimated the altitude of the strange object at about 2000 ft. They said it emitted a strong reddish glow similar to the red nose light on a Constellation. As seen from the tower, the lig~t moved in a southeasterly direction, about seven or eight degrees above the horizon. The tower couldn't estimate its spee{}. but said it moved at a blimp- e. A ch~k. however, showed there was no blimp or plane in the area at the time. The light was vi sible for about four minutes from II :02 p.m., on. Then it suddenly blazoned an orange glow and vanished from sight. 2
