Dear Sirs:

On July 20, 1969, at 12:43 pm, while riding my bike in West Fairview, Pa. (across the river from Harrisburg) I saw a round, silver object (like a plate or disk) traveling north of Harrisburg. It was traveling slowly at first, then it made some violent turns and maneuvers as if it were in trouble. Just as it started to loose altitude, it picked up speed, and at an unbelievable speed it headed almost straight up and was out of sight in a second. The object was to fast for a balloon.

because I'm only 12 years old. It was a clear day with only about 8 small clouds. What did I see?

Please send me an explanation

Mr. Fairview, Pa.
