office and before entering hesrd one of the local saircreft in the pattern Looking up he observed the eircreft and slightly to the left he saw silver objects of either spherical or disc-like shape moving about 300 MPH at epproximetely 000 ft heeding ebout 320° due north Ee inmediately calledS/Sgt Gerald Newman T/Sgt Joseph Ruvolo and Miss Jeannette Merie Scotte Witnesses 11 verified the sighting and the direction of the objects all three stated thet the objects were mving towerd Mojave Calif Witness vas sure it was not an optical illusion or that the objects were not weather balloons since they treveled egainst prevailing wind and since the speed sat which they traveled and the horizontal direction taken indicated that they were not weather balloons Furthermore they could not remain at the same altitude so consistently if they were weather balloons Witness then attempted to get personnel medicel officers to further verify the sighting but by the time the additional personnel had arrived at the seqe the original objects had disapnesred due to the speed at which they were traveling However two of them sighted a third object of a silver snherical or disc-like nature at approximately 8000 ft traveling in circles over the north end of the airfield Five out of the seven personnel saw this object All looked away from the object several times to make sure there wes no eye strain He stated that this object performed too tight a circle to be eny type of kmown aircraft Evaluation Confirmed by other sources Witnesses S/Sgt Gerald Neuman T/Set Jocevh Ruvolo Mics Jennette Merie Scotte [PAGE 5] Joseph Ruvolo and S/Set Gerald Nauman to the front of B.0.Q A Bldg Pointing up in a direction directly above the grovp he asked them to expléin whet they saw Witness states that she saw silver-colored disc-like objects flying toward Mojave Calif one directly back of the other at a of about 300 to 400 MPH at an altitude of approximately &,000 ft She listened cerefuily for a few mimutes but could hear no drone such as occasioned by any ‘aircraft Casting her eyes for a moment in amother direction end then looking back to the same spot she wes able to distinguish the seme objects again Assured that it was not eye-strain she wes convinced the objects were not weather balloons due to the horizontel position in whbh they traveled Nor could they have been birds dince they reflected the sun's rays Some three or four mimes after the objects had nearly disappeared she saw another flying object similar to the above-mentioned objects It wes silver colored and dise-like in shape Unlike the first two it flew in a tight circle neigher losing nor gaining altitude at approximately 8,000 ft She thought it performed too tight a circle to have been any

clearly visible with the naked eye The object did not revolve on its own axis It had no discernible landing gears nor propellers It appeared to have an excellent air foil tapered from wing tip to wing

color was that of an incandescent light without appreciable blue and reddish tinge It appeared on a course about 350° true some miles away ight grew in intensity but without any change in color to a point estimated to be one mile off starboard bow of the plane When the PA plane switched over to manual control the object suddenly veered to an approximate course of 109° and then the bright light appeared to split into two parts and assumed a reddish Ime These two reddish lights did not have the intensity of the white and appeared about a wing-length apart As it changed its course the extraordinary speed was noted It far outraced the Pan American plane and the twin lights appeared to burn out 30 miles ahead The entire phenomenon was observed for some six seconds Object was estimated to be traveling 1,000 knots per hour NOTE Both observers thought it could have been a meteor except “for the manner in which it held altitude At no time did it appear to get above or below
