First of all, th~t the report Has mnde to the Topsham Air Force Base and they sent out men ru1d the people involved, there were several witnesses, gave detailed reports that the ~dtnesses reported that the Air Force people didn't bother taking many notes despite the fact that the reports of the t~ritnesses were qujte detailed. The witnesses stated that the Topsham radar had acqujred the objects and this we should trace do~m and because a distant relative of Niss Brigadier General in the Air Force, Brigadier Gener , the nc.me had some effect and Topshrun called Bangor r reputedly sent down a plane 1-.rith ,,..,hich the objects apparently played hide-and- seek. These 1.-1ere !'lot just stray lights, but the lights \vere reported to be attacl1ed to a solid object or the solid object .ras never seen. ?Z.:~ principal object Has oval, some\"hat like a top, and there was another one in a cigar shape looking some- v-rho.t like a. child's balloon.
