STATEMENT

Upon completion of a tour of duty from 1600 to 2400 27 February 1953, I left the building in which I had just been relieved from duty when an officer and several airmen who were standing outside brought to my attention what they considered to be a flying saucer. I looked up and saw a light moving over the field on a heading of east. I said to the men that it was probably a weather instrument of some kind from Kelly Air Force Base. I took a few more steps toward my automobile and then decided to have another look. The object seemed to be at high altitude and it was picking up speed i…

STATEMENT

On the night of 27 February 1953 I saw an unidentified object in the sky. The object seemed to be extremely high with a steady large light on it. When first I saw this object it was coming from the south-west and seemed to be moving at a tremendous speed. It would go along for a couple of seconds and then seemed to shoot to the left and then to the right. In one minute it had gone so far that I had lost sight of it. Then it would return and come back from the north-east going toward south-south-west. It seemed to have a red glare to it. But the most amazing thing was the steady larg…

STATEMENT

It was about 23:40 on the 27th of February 1953 when my way to work I spotted a single bright light moving at a high rate of speed. At first I thought it to be a star or meteor, but it did not move fast enough or at random like a shooting star. It first appeared in the south-west and was traveling north and made a definite pattern of flight as it circled the moon. At short intervals a mate to the object could be seen a short ways behind it. They continued to circle the moon in a large oval with the longer parts of the oval to the north and south. Visibility was perfect and at no tim…

STATEMENT

The following took place on the night of 26 February 1953. As I came to work at about 20 minutes to mid-night I, along with about twenty or so others, observed a traveling light in the sky. In appearance it looked about like a star moving at excessive speed. The night was very clear but I could see nothing but the light. As I could hear no motor and could see nothing but the light I would presume the object to be at an extreme light. It must have taken about eight minutes for it to go from the south-east to the north, turn and return to the south-west of me. There is not much I know…

STATEMENT

On the 27 February 1953 I saw an unidentified object in the sky. The object looked to me like another star but was traveling at a terrific rate of speed. It came from the south-west. It traveled across the sky in a south-easterly direction. Then it turned and came back across the sky going nearly straight south. That was the last that I saw of it. There was no sound.
