Has been evaluated as possible ait.<.:Jft . ., Even after a call to these people the case remains i.wletenninate. Mr. and Mrs. New Hampshire, are far.m. people who are'not very articu a en it comes to description of things. However, after two years after the original report, the mn.i.n outlines of the case remains the same. They say the usual thing in such cases, "I never saw anything like this beford' and apparently th~y Javen' t aeen anything else like this since. There are a few incon~l.stencies. In the original report they said that the moon was out nnq setting in the west, and in the phone conversations they said Lltr. r c was no In fact, now they think it was cloudy, but outshic of ita being dark they can't be sure. I originally called because of the reported action of the dog. this came to naught since they admitted that the dog had this way before and since. However, they said the dog's actions were similar to those which occur when a dog heara one of these high-pitched dog whistles inaudible to humans. rtr. said the he "figured dogs knew something we didn't". He s11id the light was very bright, something like a large yard light. 111e duration was about ten minutes, all told. He also stated that the dog whined a lot before the sighting and that he had been uneasy all evening. This, of course, proves nothing. At closest, Mr thought it was about a quarter of a mile away, jurlt at the edge of his farm. Original sighting was made by Mrs. who woke Mr. up and said, "There is a flying saucer in the y ard." is sort of statement occurs quite frequently and indicates how ready people in all walks of life seem to accept the existence of flying saucers and indicates also that they are not too startled when they apparently see onel As far as evaluation is concerned, present evaluatiotl ns "possible aircraft" is one possibility, along with possible un- known. There are no airports'within 50 miles according to Mr. Trecarten and a very bright red light, white around the edges, apparently grew brighter and then dimmer over a course of ten minutes without appreciable eros~ or tangential, motion hardly fits the description of aircraft, and particularly at that time of night at a place far from an airport. I would be much mcre inclined to call this poasible unknown rather than possible ai~ craft. It could also be evaluated as insufficient information, because even after my phone call, the actual n1=ber of information bits still remains woefully meager. Lt. Col. Hector Quintanilla June 1 ~0\J it occurred at a small airport and the duration was one v .. , half minutes. Followup should have been made to deterrnir there were other potential witnesses. Since i t occurred : night on December 28, it is possible that there were no C witnesses available. Must be carried as unidentified, s ) ... ~ 15. 12 August 1965, Ramona, California. One witness, duration of sighting only 15 seconds. W j ; 1. so.1 I was a 67 year old lady. Sighting occurred at 9p .m. day 1 ~ -~; saving time in the middle of August,. and thus the sky f;l,m: still have been reasonably bright. Witness said sight it.;;. .~.trred at night and sky very blue. Perhaps she thinks that atlyt i. : ... ~ after 6 p.m. is night. Must be listed as unknown (meagc~.L" ..... ::, single witness, very short duration). 16. 26 February 1966, Bartlett, N~ Hampshire I have in my files for 26 February 1966, Manchester, . cw Hampshire. I do not seem to find a Bartlett, New Hampshire case. See attached supplemental sheet ~. 17. 17 July 1966; Centerville, Ohio. Temporarily not in file. Will study this case when I visit 18. 9 February 1967, Odessa, Delaware. Since by an admitted breakdown in comrnunications the Dover Air Force Base delayed some five months in investigating this case, all I have is the NICAP report. Evaluation pending my getting a of the Air F~rce investigation of same. Based on NICAP report, the sighting is obviously unidentified. 19. 12 February 1967, Grand Rapids, Michigan. I have only the card on this case, but judging from it t here seems to be a possibility that this one-witness case was caused by low-flying birds reflecting light. The sighting lasted 4 to ' 0 seconds, and witness mentions a high-pitched chirping noise 20. 1 April 1967, Wellington or Loco, Texas.
