It appeared . to be just a Il.t, dark object just above and to the rear o{ tt-" light. The light was traveling in a northwes t dircctio:1 on a perfectly flat course. tt was tran:ling so bst that Rev. Mowery; could cosily obscnc the light growing smnllcr as it proceeded away from him nnd within :-matter of 10 seconds it disappeared in the distance. The car window was down so he checked for sound and there w:1s none. Rev. Mowery ass~rts that he is familiar with jets and other planes, but could find no explana tion f or t!lis object. i--: .. ~ 1rltifie:--1 Fl;rln6 Ubje;~ts In t~e ev~nt t~at rad~r olc~od up a n ~-;~ust 1,, 1962 , in thovicinit~ of Groenhillo ( Jhio) ah~ traveling southea8t towsr1 Reading ( ~hio), my ~ife and I mi ght ad~ sornethin~ to -;;) :'..nfor:r:atio:--.

Obsen ers n()ticcd such characteristics as abrupt for~ .. rd movement and the direction or its d i~appcarancc each time. The weath- er ~l.!reau told the press that the object wa., ;<':ssibly some type or aircraft, after they : uted out weather phenomena or a rtifi..::i,1l satellites as an explanation. \Vhei queried about the object the Stra- teg:c Air Command had no offering to make toward identification or the ob- ject. Such a failure to identify is tanta- mount to inability to identify.
