enroute to his office and before entering he:rd one of the locel airereft
in the traffic pattern. Looking up he observed the eircreft and slightly
to the left he saw 2 silver objects of either spherical or disc-like shape
moving about 300 MPH at epproximetely 8000 ft he:ding ebout 320° due north,
Ee immediately called§/Sgt Gereld E. Neumen, T/Sgt Joseph Ruvolo end Mies
Jannette Merie Scotte, Witnesses &ll verified the eighting end the direction
of the objects - all three stated that the objects were moving
towerd Mojave,
Calif,

Witness vas sure it wes not an opticel illusion or that the
objects were not
weather balloone since they treveled egeainst preveiling wind
and since the
speed at which they traveled and the horizontal directi
on taken indicated
that they were not weather belloons, Furthermore they could not remsin at
the seme altitude so consistently if they were weather balloons,
Witness then attempted to get perscnnel (medicol officers) to further verify
the sighting but by the time the additionel personnel had errived st the
sane the original objects had dissppeered due to the speed at which
they were
traveling, However, two of them sighted a third object of a silver spherical
or disc-like nature at approximeately 8000 ft traveling in circles over
the
north end of the airfield, Five out of the seven personnel
sow this object
All looked awey from the object several times to meke sure there wes no eye
strain, He steted that this object performed too tight a circle to be
any tyve of known aircraeft.

Eveluation: Confirmed by other sources.

Joseph Ruvolo end $/Sgt. Gerald I, Naunan to the front
of the B.0.Q. "A" Bldg.
Pointing up in a direction directly above
the group he asked them to explain
vbat they saw. Witness states that she saw 2 silver-colored disc-l
ike objects
flying towerd Mojave, Celif, one directly beck of the other,
et & speed of
sbout 300 to 40O MPH at en altitude of approximately £,000
ft, She listened
cerefully for a few minutes but could hesr no drone
such es occasioned by eny
‘eircreft, Casting her eyes for a moment in emother direction cnd then
looking
back to the same spot she wes sble to distinguish the seme
objects again.
Acsured that it was not eye-strain, she wes convinced the objects were not
westher balloons due to the horizontel position in which
they traveled. TFor
could they have been birds dince they reflected the sun's
rays.

Some three or four mimues after the objects had nearly diseppe
ared she saw
arother flying object eimilar to the above-mentioned
objects. It wes silver
eolored snd disc-like in shape, Unlike the first two, it flew in a tight circle,
neigher losing nor gaining altitude, at approximately &,000
£t. She thought
1t performed too tight a circle to have been any type sircreft with
vhich she
was familiar.

On 7 July 197, at approximately 10310, while running up the XP~& on
the ground I noticed everyone #ms looking up into the air.
Off
to the
north about 10, to
000
12,000 feet altitude, was an object tha I ssumed
t
at first to be a weather balloon, but after looking at it for
a while I
noticed that it was oscillatin
in g
a forward whirling movement without
losing altitude. I‘mmnwt@qhmfll,mblmm'ut

The object was yellowish
white in ecolor and I would estimate that
it was a sphere about 5 to 10 feet in diameter. :

26, Remarks : ( )
As this ob, descended through a low enough level to permit observation
of its la silhouette, it presented a distinet ovular outline, with two (2)
projections on the upper surface which might have been thich fins or nobs. These
crossed
each other at intervals, suggesting either rotation
or oscillation of slow
type.

No smoke flames, propellar arks, engine noise, or other clasuable or visible
mens of propulsion were noted. The colar was silvery, resembling alumimum painted
fabric, and did not appear as dense as a parachute canopye. E y
When the object dropped to a level such that conéé into line of vision
of the mountain
tops, it was lost to the vision of the observer.

It is estimated that the object was in line of vision about 90 seconds.
0f the five (5) people sitting in the observation truck, four (L) observed
this object and made remarks about it. These peocple 1]

(Other names not given)

The following is my own personal opinmions about this object:

1. I think it was a manpmade object, as evidenced distaintly by the
outline and functiomal appearance.

2. It's sise mas not far from 25 feet with a parachute canigy.

3. The path followed by this object appeared as though it might have

Seeing this was not a hallucimation or other fancies of a sense.

another neighbors, glainto
nce the sky
d toward the West, and saw what we thought
vas smoke from ah airplane. She mentioned that
she had never seen that‘before, so
We stopped to look and listen, thinking
we would see the plane. But there was |
no sound, so we kept looking until we saw
a tiny object from which the vapor
was emitting, It was so far away we could not dete: 1ine the size or even the
shape, Its only identity was a glisten in the sun. ‘had watched this one for
a few seconds, when from the general direct
ion of the sun, another object shot
into the sky. Tt followed the general direction of the first, shooti
ng up and
dovn before settling to a south-easterly course across
the sky, where we followed
them until they were only a glisten and the vapor could
no longer be seen, After
the objects were gone, we contimued to look and to watch
the vapor that had been
left which now looked like clouds but kept a shape,
and this shape seemed to glide
across the sky to the East where there was a black
streak leading to the horizon,
The vapor stayed in the sky for over an hour,
