At 5:Je 1 saw two ligl1ts in the sky going from west to cast The objects \~ere apart approximately, whem my arms \-Jere held out and my index fingers were extended the index fingers were abott 1~ inches apart when eactt finger obliterated one object. I would judge tlte spped to be in excess of that of satelit~s that I have observed in the past. When ttae second object came to a stop I imagine the object came to a stop from the regular motion in a very short sp3ce., One might even state that it was an abrupt stop and the color seemed to change from a eH+s~sh blue-white to a reddish color and then back to e blue white. The other object kept on going. ~boiJt 25 minutes be fore we saw an~ther object tl1at we took to be a sate11uite in the south also going from a west to east direction, the ditection of this object seemed to be west to south east. The obj~ct was placed in position at 6.00 A.M. and at such a time perhaps military observers were eating ot changing shifts and the approach of dawn would be in their favor if such a positioning was to be secretive. 1 might add that the ol!j.ec t \\'as in the same place Saturday eveni ngJ<-' Sunday ~lorning and I also thought I saw it in place on Sunday evetling btt a light cloud Cover WaS forming SO this lS a-facto-rto l:)e considered on sunday even ing sighting.

Saturday morning (Nov. 25, 1967), we were on a deer stand (approximately 15 to 20 feet above the ground). We arrived there about 5:00 PM. While looking into the sky, we saw1wo flying objects. They looked like two lights and were shining in a northerly direction from the west. They moved in a straight line to a due north position. and stopped. One light became a stationary object. The second came stronger. It went from a yellow to a blue-white color and blinkea like a star. At 6:00 it ~ent into a position in front of the other light. The other light went off in an easterly direction. It was a clear, cold night. The remaining light stayed there until nothing else could be seen in the sky in the daylight At about 2:00 in tne morning, we heard a whirring sound and a column of light appeared at the window. It was a soft bluish light and remained there for about four minutes. BOB Nr 21-R258 SIGHTING.
