Memorandum for the Record: Interview regarding aerial sighting

This memorandum for the record details an interview with an individual who witnessed an aerial phenomenon while riding on a train. The witness, who was traveling with three others, observed a greenish-yellow, round object through a window. After he alerted his companions, a second object appeared, and all parties observed them. The witness described the objects as ascending at a steep angle, moving in a manner he likened to a Fourth of July rocket on a highly inclined track, though he noted the absence of any rocket trail, smoke, or sound. He estimated the objects were between 600 and 800 feet above the ground. The witness reported that his companions claimed to have seen lights on the objects and suggested their vision was better than his own. He explicitly stated that he did not see any searchlights or evidence of military activity in the region, noting that he had passed several airbases without observing any attempts to conceal activity from him. The document concludes with the signature of Herbert Scoville, Jr., Assistant Director of Scientific Intelligence.
