EVIDENCE FTD SEP 63 C-329' (TOE) 11. 8R IE F SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS Observers noted many objects throughout the sky. Colors vary- ing from yellow-red-blue-green. One object appeared to have dome on the upper surface and glowed with a greenish light. One object had a high pitched whine. Objects disappeared instantly, but one at a time. Objects have had blinking red and green lights on occasion. Observers have seen various objects from 31 MaFch through 7 July 66. Sightings have been na~e simultaneously with identified aircraft passing through t he area. Various astronomical bodies could have been respon- sible for some of the sightings also. Actually the witnesses are probably seeing something of a natural origin; however, frc~ several leading comments it is felt that hallucination has played a major part in thi~ particular case.

The t\vo observers as well as several neighbors have made numerous sighting s of UFO' s since 31 March 1966. There have been few nights since 31 March until the date {25 Apr 66) of this report when sightings have not been made. Sightings have been made simultaneously with identified aircraft pas sing through the area. They have also been seen under varying weather conditions including rain showers. Aircraft may account for a few of the objects but certainly not all of them. Lt S. M.
