I, A1C James A. Gray, AF14631462, did observe on the night of 27 August 1965 at approximately 2330 local a UFO Northwest of Pease Air Force Base as to the altitude and distance they were hard to determine. The object appeared to move very slowly to the North. The object was observed for approximately one half (1/2) hour then disappeared.
