This is to certify that I, , in company of and , on the night of January 1, 1953, at approximately 2045, sighted an object which to the best of my knowledge was a flying saucer. I was driving my car ten miles south of Cascade, near the Missouri River, on highway 91 when I saw this object. When I first saw the object I estimate that it was five miles away, and it came right at me, and when it was 100 to 200 feet over the river and directly opposite me, it started to climb rapidly, staying in a horizontal position at all times. It continued to climb until out of sight.
