Spherical object (o) brilliantly silver was sighted at approximately 6:05 pm local daylight time. It was approx. 45-50° off the horizon due north of the point of observation and, as observed, was travelling due south. The original size was about that of a medium size star and as the object proceeded south it increased slightly in size. At approx. 6:10 pm the object was seen to decrease in velocity at about 80° off the horizon in a line due south and in a matter of seconds it disappeared straight upward.

MEMO:

TO: Intelligence Officer BBC

1. Using first degree approximations, I have computed the probably traverse of the radiosonde release of 202100Z June 1949 and, without benefit of protractor, indicated same on the attached chart. The bale figures along the traverse are an approximation of the altitude of the instrument at that particular point.

2. The black "X" just east of Hawkins Island in the Great Sound is my estimate of the place where the instrument should have struck the water after the ballo…
