# STATEMENTS

On 1 March 1953 I sighted a starlike object at 2025 hours. It was at approximately 270 degrees azimuth at 35 degrees elevation.

It first appeared to have a yellowish green color, but later took on a dull pink color.

After first appearing, the object faded out intermittently for periods of 10 to 20 seconds and then remained visible at its brightest for about 10 min

D/I JADF COMMENT:
(Reference also IR S-43, 511th AC&W Group)

Attached are three (3) each negatives and prints made at the time of this sighting. Camera information: Bol
