PROJECT 10073 RECQRD rl. CA T1, Y,"IME GROUP 2. LOCATION Wichita Falls, Texas 3. SOUP.CE 10, CONCLUSION Civilian & Military i. NUMBER OF OBJECTS S. LENGTH OF OBSERVATION t.. TYPE OF OBSERVATION Ground Visual 7 . COURSE Westward after 9. PHYSICAL EVIDENCI! Aircraft (possible) 11. BRIEF SU .... ARY AND ANALYSIS Object had flashing red, green, and white lights that would fade then brighten. A contrail was observed in the sky as the object approached fran the east. A roaring sound was heard being similar to that made by a jet aircraft. One investigator drew an East-West type holding pattern used by aircraft over a navigational aid and first witness said this was similar to movements made by the object. FAA reported no air traffic was in the particular area during the sighting however the IAA only keeps a record of those aircraft that file an IFR flight plan. Aircraft fiying aver the area that do not file an IFR with the FAA is watched but a record is not kept of the aircratt, thus the FAA would not have a r~cord. Did the object disoppecr while you were watching it? If so, how? Did the object move behind something at any time, particularly a cloud? ( Ci rc/e One): Don't Know. IF you answered YES, then tell whot it moved behind: Did the object move in front of something at any time, particularly o cloud? (Circle One): Yes Don't Know, IF you answered YES, then tell who1 in fr o nt of: Tell in o few words the following things about the object: We w i sh t o know the angular s ize. Ho ld o mo1ch stick at arm's length in line with o known object and note how much of t he obrect is covered by the heod of the match. If you hod performed this experiment at the time of the si;:,ting, how I'Tt\Jch of the obj-ect would hO\I'e' been covered by the-match heod? Draw a picture that wi II show the shape of the object or objects. Label and include in your sketch any detai Is of the object that you saw such as wings, protrusions, etc., and especially exhaust trails or vapor trails. Place an arrow beside the drawing to show the direction the object was moving. f1)_hA.A.O.I' 20. Do you think you con esfimote the speed of the object ?
