Newman, T/Set Joseph Ruvolo end Miss Jennette Merie Scotte, Witnesses all verified the sighting end the direction of the objects - all three stated that the objects were mving toward Mojave, Calif. Witness was sure it was not an opticel illusion or that the objects were not weather balloons since they treveled egainst prevailing wind and since the speed at which they traveled and the horizontal direction taken indicated that they were not weather balloons, re they could not remain at the seme altitude so consistently if they were weather balloons, Witness then attempted to get personnel oer officers) to further varify the sighting but by the time the additional personnel had arrived at the sme the original objects had disappeared 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 approximately 8000 ft treveling 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 meke sure there was no eye strain, He steted that this object performed too tight a circle to be eny tyve of mown aircraft, Eveluation: Confirmed by other sources.

She listened cerefuily for a few minutes but could hear no drone such as occasioned by any ‘eircreft, Casting her eyes for a moment in another 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 d@ince 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 woe silver colored and disc-like in shape, Unlike the first two, it flew in a tight circle, neigher losing nor gaining altitude, at approximately 8,000 ft.

On 7 July 1947, at approximtely 10510, while running up the XP-S), on the ground I noticed everyone ims looking up into the air. Off to the north about 10,000 to 12,000 feet altitude, was an object that I assumed at first to be a weather balloon, but after looking at it for a while I noticed that it was oscillating in a forward whirling movement without losing altitude. It was traveling about 200 to 225 MPH, and heading from west to east. The object was yellowish white in color and I would estimte that it was a sphere about 5 to 10 feet in diameter. f --- OCR PAGE 11 --- @ 17. 18, 19. 20, £ty 22.

At this time the objects reappeared going from North to South, although this time there were only seven of the articles. When I first saw the original ten objects they were flying in a “v" formation with one object seemingly straggling in the rear of the formation, When the objects appeared the second time they were still in the "V" formation although there was only seven of the objects at this tine. I rembmber at this time that I told the lad, who was still working on the lawn, that probably three of the objects had proceeded back to their base on a different course. I actually thought that this was the case, that the other three objects had probably gone back to their base on the other side of the mountains from Bakersfield.

Shortly after their arrival Col Hix, the Commemding Officer was summoned, At about this time Duesler first sighted a bright silver object. Then Col Hix arrived. Shortly thereafter a flight of four P-5l's flew over Godman. Leader was contacted to pursue object. He assented and three P=51's climbed om the course, the fourth P-5l returming to base. Flight leader called to observe that "object was twelve o'clock high," Asked to describe it, he stated "it is bright and climbing away from me." He stated at first that it was going about 180 MPH, ‘Then Control Tower lost sight of the flight but could still see the object. (Im connection with this, Lt Col E. Garrison Wood who witnessed the sighting stated that while it appeared about 1/10 the size of a full mon, if the were a great distance away, as compared to the diminishing size of the P-51's flying toward it, it would seem that it was at least several hundred fect in diameter.) Shortly after NG 861, the flight leader, stated that ~ he was "at 15,000 ft and still climbing" He stated that he judged the speed to be the same as his or approx 360 MPH, One of his planes then asked him . to level off bat no reply was heard from the flight leader. That wes the last message received from amy member of the flight. After dark, another or the same object appeared im approx 234° from Godman at 6° elevation. This body moved to the west (259°) and then dow, The shape was fluid but generally round with no tail, the color changing from white, to Diue, to red to yellow and had a black spot in the center at all times. At 1600 CST it was obscured by clouds. NOTE: Later, an astronomer was contacted who attempted to account for this phenomena as either Vemus or a comet.

It appesred, with the naked eye, to be a@ very bright light the color of ordinary fire which lost and regained altitude in the manner of a paracmte flare riding on thermals. The intensity of the light varied. This was attributed to clouds passing invexcframt below; however, the light was readily discernible thru the clouds. The sky was clear to scattered, When the object was compared to the stars there was a decided difference. Stars were of the usual white; this object was yellow or flame color, When first seen it appeared to be about 4,000 ft but disappecring over the horizon would make it much higher.

In order to avoid a possible collision (being unable at first to determine in what direction the object was moving) they pulled up to about 1200 ft in order, to avoid possible collision. The object crossed their path at right angles to them. Seeing that it was moving away from them at a very rapid rate and flying at an altitude of from 500 to 1,000 ft they swung in behind it and followed it at an air speed of 170 MPH but the thing was out of sight in four minutes, They state the object was smooth~surfaceland streamlined and resembled txatxs® a C-54 without motors (from the rear) and was without wings or any visible meens of propulsion whatever.

It appeared similar to the light of an approaching plane except that it was extremely intense. The color was that of an incandescent light without appreciable blue and reddish tinge. It appeared on a course about 350° true some 5 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 1 and appeared about a wing-léngth 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 kmots 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 9,500 ft. When it disappeared it still seemed at about 9,500 ft. at no time did it give off sufficient illumination to reflect on the cloud formation at $,000 its Both observers were questioned as to possibility of optical illusion end the probability that the object dropped at an oblique angle but both firmly declared the object apparently changed course and that it appeared to hold altitude throughout the entire time observed. PAA plane was eastbound from Midway on magnetic course 98, which is approximately 110° true, and flying at 9,000 feet at about 205 kmots. It wes flying on sutomatic pilot with Griffin in the right-hand seat in the control cabin and Polhems in the left-hand seat. It was dark and there were cumlus clouds of about .4 density.

Witness saw it only momentarily because of the tremendous speed. "I saw it only for a mimte because it was traveling at a terrific speed."

When the puff of smoke appeared the object disappesred completely; no particles were observed falling from it. The point of disappearance seemed to be about 800 yards in front of Switzer. There was no possibility of being hidden by vegetation or terrain. -It appeared rectangular for the most part but once it appeared to have a very slightly curved top surface. It seemed more rocket=like than disc~like, and seemed tilted in a semi-circle. NOTE: Agent notes that the point of observation would afford a sweeping : view thru 40° of the canyon ‘and the south side of Webber Creek. (Switzer was not definite as to what part of the field of view he had seen the object and tim indidated that it could have been as far as the horizon./ Any object or particles thereof would be in a six square mile area of wooded mountainous terrain full of canyons and ravines, , ? ; : Agent thought that witless could have seen a conventional type aircraft which due to the distance from which it was observed presented- no distinguishing features for the short period it was under observation.
