"1"he individual reporting the sigh.ting, M1 is , approximately 140 pou s, married with two chi..:1ren, and employed by the S an1sonite Corporatio olorado. After serving 16 months in the United Sra : e s Army, he was discharged for excessive fighting. He has h eld man y job s of shor t duration since his discharge. He appeared to b e more nervous during the interview than the average individual. He d:.d nol complete high s chool but accomplished Lhe equivalent through t h: General Education~! Developn1ent lest while serving at Fort Hood, 3 . The location of the reported sighting, at 14th and Lamar Streets i n t'1e Lakewood section of Denver, is an unlighted, suburban area. B o t:-,. streets are nar2ow, blacktop macadam. M tually use:.; this route in traveling to and f rom his home S l r .::et and the Sout!1 BYoadway Samsonitc factory. 4. O n the night of ~z- .:: :::-eported sighting Mr. departed the South B:::-cc..C.v:ay factory a~ t:~e usual lime and arrived home at the usual t:.~e ::2345-2350. ::.:.s account of the incident is as follows: : ;-~s drivin,? ~? tl:e street, north on Lamar in Lakewood, :::.ydy so I c ot.:lci stop at the slop sign on 14th. I had just ~: -:::r: oif v:o:-k. A. man flagged me down asking for direc- . :.::. He askec i:"l~ where the North Star was. I pointed ::::c. rc! the north; I couldn l sec the s tar but I knew the C.:uection. He asked me what the date was; I told him October 9th, 1967. He said, 0h, in your primitive timc. i-ie asked me what I had in my rnou Lh; I told him it was a cigarette. He said, ''Oh, one of your primitive vices. He asked 1ne about the car and said, "Oh, your primitive mode of transportation." I was very shaken and asked who he was and where he was from. He said, "1 cannot tell yon now but my colleagues and I will return. " The man was about three feet .from my car, then walked about four more feet and disappeared -just vanished. then heard a noise, looked out of the car, and saw hovering overhead an object which was aboul the size of a football field. Then with a whining noise il went straight up in a slight northerly direction, joined two more objects which were hov:!ring far overhead, took the lead position in a triangula r fonnation, and disappeared at a tremendous speed to the north. This was a normal looking man except that he was well over s i x feet tall. His jacket h a d sort of a round tapered thing on the shoulders with four gold b ars on each shoulder. He had sort of a Van Dyke type goatee except it was sepa- ra.ted in the middle. I could hear absolutely nothing but h i s voice while he was talking to me. It seen1ed like I was in sort of a trance. His facial features were nonnal except that they did not move when he talked. He didntt seem actually t o speak; it seemed more like mental t e lepathy. It seemed like I was in a drean1 world. 5J.
