COMti.Zr\':'S: There are several airfields near Wigt:ins. No one els~ from the area reported onythin~ to us dcspi~e the fact that this was a daylight sighting v.nd was visible for ten minutes. The local police d cparlment was contacted but failed to respond to our requc:?t. The observer indicat that t~e object was two t o five miles away, yet in his original letter he stated that the object nad a metal door that ''ru."'l oneydroils electric circuit." Since i t is ver:/ dou~tfu.l that a person could see a door a t thut J .iGtuiJc-.: and cer~&:nly couldn't tell how the door o~e~at~G, it i~ fel~ tta~ e sightin~ is psycholocic~l in naL~rc.
