Object sighted at about 1915 hours 27 Aug 52 from Edgemont. Directly overhead.

(1) Object shaped like a football - my first impression was that of resembling a cheap clear light bulb. The sun reflected from it a color that in no way resembled that which is reflected from a military plane.

d. Object was visible for a period of about thirty seconds.

e. Object was visible only during the time it took for it to cross the area covered by the sun…
