The object appeared to roll from side to side three times, and one side reflected the sun strongly from its surface while the other gave no reflection. He thought the size about that of a 0-54.

Incident #47 -- Fairfield-Suisun Air Base, California -- 6 July 1947

This incident cannot be readily explained astronomically. The object was in sight too long to be a meteor, and the variable "reflection" and absence of any statement about trail also argue against that interpretation. It is difficult, however, to rule out the hypothesis completely, because of the lack of pertinent information and the ever-present possibility that the reporting was more subjective than objective.

Incident #36 -- Hollywood, California -- 6 July 1947

From the limited data available, there appears to be no astronomical explanation for this incident.

Rolling motion and saucer shape relate the incident to many others, which, however, did not exhibit the ray phenomenon.
