Dear Sir

This morning at #145 A. M. E. S. T. at my home I saw an Unidentified Flying Tire Blue and Orange in Color. Traveling South West to North East at between 2000 ft & 3000 ft at between 350-400 A. P. H. There was no sound, exhaust, control or variation of the colors as it did not vary in speed. No port holes or projections could be seen. I continued to watch for several minutes after this and all I saw was a jet & a satellite also traveling South West to North East. The Tire was approximately 50-60 ft in diameter.

I was an Air Force…
