It didn't move and it wasn~t shaped like a cigar, it was fat and shaped like a ball or an egg and was this orangiah reddish color. It didn't give off a bunchof l~t. I mean it was light and it waa shinin1 but it wasn't shining on the ground or any- thinK. It wasn't like a spotlight. It was just like a light bulb looks except with the glow cat off that shines around it. It was just like looking at a light bulb , painted orange of course, that is not shining out. You could see it, it was light. I mean you couldn't look in the sky and miss it even if it was far away. It was there in front of me and even if it was far away it was bright enough that I could see it. It was like a star. A star is bright but it doesn't make the sky light, the aky around it is dark. Mo, it wasn't cloudy. There was just a cloud in the sky and the moon was behind the cloud. I know tt was behind the cloud because the cloud looked silver lined. I looked up and that thing was there, and it certainly wasn't the moon because it was right there in my back yard. The moon would be in front of me as I looked out. It would be right over there, because that is where it is right not (only it is up higher). After it was gone, then the moon came out and I stood there and watched the moon come out after I ran to the tront door the moon came out. But it wasn't the moon. looked up and it was there. I didn't see it come; I didn't see it go. I just looked up and it caught my eye and it was there. I started hollering for Mother and I watched it attd it didn't even move while I was there. It didn't make any sound. It didn't do anything but just sort of sit there. It wasn't on the ground, it was just sitting in mid air. I heard Mother come, I just ran and when I came back it wasn't there. I was gone for maybe 9-10 seconds. It was more round than long but wasn't round. It was that color and it was there. It didn't do anything, it didn't move, it didn't make any sound, it didn't It wasn't any- thing--no antennas, doors, nothing. Didn't land, didn't take off. It was just all light, like if you painted a ) , except it was shiny. Looked like polished metal in a spotlight but not like metal. It was a reddish color, sort of glowed but it didn't glow. It was just real bright. I mean it was color- ful against the sky. It was about that bright but sort of an orange (investigaaor is obviously Displaying something). n;E j()l)J'f' HEADQlJARTERS 3700Tt'1 MILITARY TRAINING WING (ATC) LACKLAND ~-fORCE IA~E UNITeD STATIS AIR fORCf ~ loa 1, Lackl.ftcl Air force lose.
