"seconds and seldom err more than plus or minus 10%. It required about 6 seconds to stop and I observed the object intermittently during this short interval. It had a slight rolling motion, but never more than 90 degrees, first counter-clockwise, then the reverse, before making the first loop (as per the attached sketch.) The visible surface was presented somewhat obliquely during the first lateral travel, more so after making the first loop and almost edge-on at the second loop (seconds 11-12). During the first 6 seconds in trying to stop and also note the …

"Third, the object did not depend on air for support or guidance, because the loops at seconds 11-12 and 21-22 were too abrupt for air-supported devices. That is, unless the object was considerably smaller than it appeared.

"This reporter recognizes that the suddenness of the occasion for the observation and the lack of means for establishing true distances and sizes make this observation of doubtful value, but it may lead to more substantial information."

3. The evaluation of this report has been placed at F-4, since it is impossible to properly evaluate…

Report on Incident: 10 Spring Object
Date: Sept. 24, 1934
Time: 8:34 p.m.

Questions Averaged: 10,000 yards of air.

Aborger height at first observation: 10,000 to 10,000 feet.
Aborgert director of object: 20,000 feet.

Circumstances: The determined, together with 80% size, was a large cloud
Sight or 7% on route from Carthage, Md., to Norwittville, Ark. I happened to glance about
after driving around a slight curve, observed the object, and immediately pulled off the
highway, starting counter because of the same time. I have had considerable training in
counting seconds …

fleeting glimpse I had of the top-side, there possibly was a projection somewhat resembling the conning tower of a submarine. The speed with which things were happening and the uncertainties of lighting at this time of day make such an observation of little value. After completing the second loop at seconds 14, speed of the object increased still further, both transversely and receding, and at seconds 24 it had become completely invisible. There was no sign of smoke or vapor emanating from the object, nor was there any sound, but this could not be strictly determined because of the noise of on…
