Incident 175
¥Wnile watching a government plane come in for a landing at Los
Alamos at 0940 hours 23 Sept 1948, witness noticed something
glint in the sun. Focusing his attention on the object he per-
ceived that it was perfectly white, meither transparent or trans-
lucent and that 1t had no metallic sheen. It wos perfectly circu-
lar, the side visidtle to hi- being flat - much s coin would
appear whem observed from a distence. It apecred mo lerger tham
2 dime. Lining it up in relationm to tue tip of the radlo tower
he backed off to the morth, The object mppeared clear out of the
picture in relation to the tower, 5;1;;; this perspective he judged
the altitule tu be approximately 30,000 ft. At this altitude the
object would necessarily be some 100 to 150 feet in size in order
to bs visible at all. There were no projections, air-trails, or
exhamst of any kind. He called the object to the attention of
Hr Faironild, his companiom. Both en then went intc o builiing
transacted their Dusiness and at the end of eight mimutes they went
ut~ide and perceived the gbject in auproximately the ssme roaition.

Benthem had ever seen. Object appeured very high. Both
Zakine and Benthem watehed it for at le.st 3 minutes. It
move! toward the northwest in a straight line at a constamt
speed finally turning to the North and faded froz view.
To Bentham the object appeired to have a regulsr rectangular
outline with sharp corners. It wa. buff or gray in color
with several darker vertical lines like ribds. (See druwing

Robert O. Drum stated that he had
