Report of phone call made on January 14 to Mrs. [redacted]. The witness, one of several, seemed of good reliability. There is a possibility that the object sighted was an advertising plane flying over a local football field where a game was in progress. Also the description of the trajectory made by the witness did not support this. The fact that this was by only one group of witnesses in a metropolitan area in the early evening of the summer night makes the entire case suspect. It is likely, therefore, that an advertising plane was misidentified as a flying saucer.

Dear Sirs;

On the evening of Sept. 4, 1965 at 10 o'clock my family and I noticed a white moving object in the sky. We thought it was Tele tar, but as it moved a short distance it stopped and retraced its path. It's light changed from green to red and then to white again.

We were guessing then if it was an airplane or a weather balloon. When a gust of wind blew the object traveled against it several times. The object then traveled forward very slowly and with great speed it retraced backwards its path and stopped. Then it speeded forward and made a right angle up-wards, ret…

Revolving in sky for 2 more minutes in this position object clearly showed oblong windows with brilliant light.

First minute of revolving looked like string of lights dangling in the sky.

in mid air. The object was large and looked like 2 inverted saucers connected by rows of oblong windows with the brilliant white light shinning through the windows. The object revolved about 3 minutes and then righted itself on its side and with great speed it retraced its path back toward the lake and then out of view.

For details and measurements of size my son Charles will supply the information.

The two sketches were drawn by Charles minutes after seeing the object.

The other sketches is what I saw.

T.P. Yours truly,
Mrs. [illegible]
