To whom it may concern -

I must tell some one what I saw the other night. So here I am again.

I lit possible that a 3 Milite could have been misable at 12 30 A.M. Tuesday, I had been repacking some trunks in the basement, Monday night, it was 12 30 when I came up the outside steps, facing the east. When half way up the step I saw what appeared to be the red light of a plane in size, only it didn't flash on & off as usual. In a several h, realize this had come over the horizon, which such speed across the sky. I could scarcely follow it and it

apparently very high in the sky and seemed to keep at a same distance from the earth as it passed quickly out of sight. It came and went to feel from east to west, I didn't have time to realize what was happening. It was not a motion for it did not approach the earth surface any closer now was it like a comet. For I saw halley comet when I was a young girl.

Here's what I saw, a speck of red in the east, coming over the horizon, becoming large as it swiftly came further west. When it was, so I could see its shape, in a flash it was gone into the western sky, leaving me with the red picture in

2/ Sparkles, as though they
were attached to the ball and
the trail placed out as it
traveled something like it.
(I'm not an artist, but may give
an idea)

These
resembled
the sparkle that on
would see on a fourth of July
sparkles what children love
to wave around in the dark,
not red, but white sparkles
and disappeared behind the
ball of lies as would the sparks
of a sparkler. This all happened
before I could take three step
up and out to get a better view.
I really can't put on paper
what I saw. Am writing this
to you, perhaps you could
find an answer from
some one in the activity of such
at

We are leaving for Baldwin's
Sewer at R. M. & Noon.
I wanted some one to know
about this very several things
peaching across the sky.
Couldn't have been a satiety
what would they look like.
Goring last one some
which I don't know where --
Would sure like to know --
will be some two or three
weeks but one soon will be
there.
