I am Asst. Chief Engineer of Radio Station vlFAS, 1rJFAS-FH located three miles due West of White Plains, llew York . The station sits atop a h i gh plateau , and from this vantage point, observation is excellent. Last November I came on duty, at 6 PM, 1800 hours, on a Sunday. Temperature was below freezing . Wind was light. Sky was starlit. No Noon. Around 7:30 PH, the Chief Engineer ar- rived in the stations parking lot, which is adjacent our 450 foot tower, with its red flashing beacons. He called to me to hurry outside to observe a UFO, which I did. I gazed upward and. there was this rectangular thing, gliding along in slow flight in a Northerly direction.

At this point realizing it wa s not a plane, he c alled to me to come out- side and observe this UFO, which I did. Of course by the time I got out of the building , a minute went by, and the overhead object was now going away from us, and the beam was extinguished~ but the secondary lights, around the perifery were on. We both stared in disbelief at this vision as i
