HEIX.
Lexington, Kentucky
Jan 10, 1961

To whom this my concern;

In the evening of Jan 9, 1961, another party and myself were driving to eat dinner. In the distance I spotted a small white streak in the far distance, realizing that we were not observing a jet trail, we stop and watched this object for 20 min's. The streak did not get smaller or larger but remained the same length. After 10 min's, it started turning horizontally and when completely horizontalized it stopped and lowered in that position for two min's.

When we got to the house, which took about 3 min's

(2)

We could still see the object, still horizontal, moving slowly toward the West, and slightly southwest until it went out of vision. This took 15 min's and was only a speech like a star. We showed several people, passer-buger this object and they also watched.

Enclosed is a rough drawing of what we saw. I called the newspaper later on to see if anyone had called in, but they didn't seem interested so as my civic duty I though I had better send this information to you.

I am a registered nurse and was away from the hosp. for supper when, we saw this. (over)

I never thought I would have called the observatory at the university, but I just had 30 min off and had to report back to the hosp., and was hate.

I hope what ever information I have given my help in some way because it is absolute and three people can back me up.

Thanking you,

Mrs. [redacted]
Campbellsville, Ky.
