Statement of, Mr.
Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania

1. I am the foreman in charge of Box and Lumber Reclamation in the Material Facilities Division at Middletown Air Material Area, Middletown, Pennsylvania. I have worked at Olmsted Air Force Base as a civilian employee for approximately ten years.

2. On Thursday evening my wife and a friend of mine, were sitting on the back porch of my home when my wife exclaimed, "Look at the meteor." This was approximately thirteen minutes to ten o'clock.

Statement of, Mr. Elizabeth Town, Pa.

9. Just about this time while I was searching the sky I saw a light which I recognized as the spot-light used on conventional airplanes. After a few moments passed I observed the spot-light was affixed to a regular commercial type plane.

10. After a few minutes passed I returned to my home and called Olmsted Air Force Base. The telephone operator at Olmsted referred my call to Flight Operations.

11. I gave the individual who took my call in Flight Operations a preliminary report on what I had seen in the sky in Elizabethtown earlier in the evening.
