PHYSICAL EVIDENCE This case was reported in March-April 1966~ Since the acthl,] sighting had occurred some time ago it is aJmost impossible to Check it out. Also due to the time lag' the pertinent data has probably become distorted. Therefore this case is B. The estimate of times, angles, and speeds places the lights about 10,000 feet in the air moving at 130 mph: is there any reason to thirlk they could not have been, say, at 50,000 feet moving at 650 mph? 9. What was the sky condition? Was the moon out? a few questions relating to the witnesses: l. ~fuere were you and who was with you at the time of the sighting? 2. Have you since heard of anyone else who saw _the same things? Have you seen al".ything similar since the original sightings'!

As if seen through a haze due to the brightness of the lights in- volved and a bright street light nearby. The object appeared to have delta wing construction but not clearly outlined. 6. Refer to sketch - windows were definitely outlined as shown. 7. Traveling in a straight line (northerly) about 50 to 80 MPH. No spinning or rotating could be seen. a. Due to the fact that it made absolutely no noise, also at the low altitude and with both commercial and Air Force airports close by, it had no high intensity red rotating lights on nor did it have ~Z running lights at all. In all normal type or aircraft that I am familiar with, the cockpit lights would be off so that the pilot may see plus the fact all cockpit windshields are nonually on the ~i side ot the {known) aircraft, this particular craft was beneat as it would be on a blimp or a larger type lighter-than-aircraft. 9. As stated in Answer #4, no beams were projected from any of the lights. I have hardly ever seen a night so clear that some pro- jections would be noticed, but there were none on this sighting. I did not notice any ill1un1nation on the ground or surrounding houses and it was directly overhead. 10. Slowly, 1n a northerly direction. After it passed over and I was looking at it from the rear -only the "landing" lights could be seen as apparently the "cabin windows" were only on the end in the direction in which it was heading. As it headed northward, a plane was observed coming towards us at eleven o'clock high (4 to 5 thou- sand feet) with the normal compliment of running lights. The engine (piston) of this plane could easily be heard. 11. I do not believe it was any type of aircraft normally used by any country on this planet. The windows and la.l'lding lights" looking from beneath appe a :r.ed like the sketch below. Nothing was seen in the windows which were softly lighted. The round lights were very bright and prevented seeing the main body except as shaded. See attached sketch. As the lights proceeded 6n a southerly course {again no sound at all), object No.2 in sketch peeled orr towards the east and seemed to lose altitude and went "out" all at once. The rest or them just disappeared in the same direction which should have taken them almost over the Air Force Base located there. Ver.y bright bluish-white. They moved as though in formation approximately 4,000 rt. high. About the same intensity except ror the bluish color. They were similar except much larger. Answered in #1. No beam, just as&light bulb except much brighter. Due to the comparison with the horizon and the angle that I saw them, I would say they were 4 to 5 thousand teet high moving at 350 -400 Conditions were clear-the moon was not visible to me at the time. I was with my son talking to his neigh who saw were an Air Force Sergeant and his at the time. object before We also were we did. They 2. My son says he has heard and talked to several who saw the same thing Being a private pilot myselt and having seen other UFO's several years ago, I usually watch the sky ror any unusual objects. I had a ver,y good view or the objects in question, was not excited and with the first object had a good chance to'try to evaluate it as it flew over. I know of nothi~ on this planet that flies without any noise except a glider and this fligh could not be duplicated with a glider especially at night. A blimp could be drifting along -but it would have its proper lights on -plus the :fact that Air Force would lmow it was there. I also believe from what "good" facta I have read and what I myself have seen over the past years, that these objects are from some other planet. The only thin~ that I can't und stand is 1f they are that far advanced -what are they waiting for? They most certainly are not afraid of us and should land and make themselve kno, am not worried about what people think, as they thought Fulton was a nut, but the steamboat did not do too bad. ~ also have a few objects in space that may puzzle the same ones who puzzle us????

This time, powerful binoculan were trained on the object, and residents of Chamfuti Street, Moregloed, saw that it took the form of a box-like structure surrounded by an orange glow. The object was in view for about 20 minutes between 7.30 and 8 p.m. "Mn. J. F. J. \ an Rcnsburg and her neighboun saw the object awitch an east-west direction to the north-east, where it disl'ppt:ared over the horizon. 'We saw it stop and then continue,' aaid Mr.~.

"Recently, Mr. H. B. Hanacn, of 482 Frederick Street, West End, saw an orange glowing object, at 5.20 in the morning. It was moving towards the north, and then v~ered eastwarda. "Mr. Hansen said: 'The object waa atationary for some minutes and then diaappeared only to reappear aoon after. It wu definitely not a ahooting atar.'"
