An officer recently reporting into this base, Capt Frederic J. Kruzel, has called my attention to the .sighting and photo- graphing of a UFO in Roswell, New Mexico. The photographer in this case was standing in his yard in Roswell with a 35 mm Japanese built camera snapping pictures of flights of birds when he saw a UFO and photographed it. This was shortly before the recent flurry of sightings in the Rio Grande valley a few hundred miles west of Roswell. 2. Capt Kruzel saw the picture which appeared to be a metallic oblate spheroid but he did not interrogate the photographer about associated sounds, apparent speed, estimation of size, or other particula~s because he did not wish to plant any ideas in the observer's mind in the event that an expert wished to interrogate him later. Capt Kruzel plans to secure copies of this transparency. If the UFO office is interested in follm-1ing up on this matter, I will be happy to send them the copies of the print when we are able to secure them and put them in touch with Capt Kruzel.

The observer described the object as a metallic oblate spheroid but there is no estimation of its size or speed.
