Call f r om Mr. 18 Nov 1966 reveEtl~d that t,.;o of hts children 3.Y.'O~e o.t approximately 04o5 this morning , 18 Nov 66, when a fireplace ocreen fell. Tney looked out the window and noticed a red light going o ve r head. The light would et brighter, then dimmer, brighter, then dimmer, repeating the process until it got nearer the horizon when a light like a star appeared and the red light disappeared. The star like object faded into the distance. A couple of minutes later another red, to dim, to brighter, object appeared going more West. His children said the object was visible for approximately 1~ minutes. However, said his children did not know how to estimate time and they could mean seconds or many minutes. His children came and woke him up after the objects disappeared. He got up but could see nothing. F..r'D Forms 164 were forwarded to Mr. for his children's completion. Objects were going in a southerly direction.
