Memorandum for the Record: Interview with [illegible]
AI-Generated Summary
A witness reported observing two greenish-yellow, round objects ascending rapidly at a steep angle from a train. The objects produced no sound or smoke, and their movement was described as whirling or tumbling upward.
This memorandum for the record details an interview regarding a sighting of two unidentified objects. The primary witness, who was traveling on a train with three other individuals, reported observing a greenish-yellow, round object through a window. The object was described as ascending rapidly at a steep angle. A second object subsequently appeared, and the witness and his companions observed both. The witness noted that the objects did not produce any rocket trails or smoke, and he was unable to discern any specific details or outlines beyond the light itself. He described the movement as 'whirling or tumbling upward' along a trajectory that did not level off. The objects were estimated to be between 600 and 800 feet above the earth. The witness reported hearing no noise associated with the objects, despite the ambient noise of the train. A searchlight, similar to those used in World War II to spot planes, was visible in the vicinity, but it was not pointed at the objects and did not attempt to follow them. In a subsequent discussion, the other individuals claimed to have seen lights on the objects and suggested they were able to discern more details, though the primary witness maintained that he could only see the round, yellow light. The others stated that the objects passed over the train.
He had the uncertain impression that the object was gently whirling or tumbling upward.
