that they were not venther balloons. Furthermore they could not remain at

Pointing up in a direction diructly above the group he anted them to explaia
vhat they saw.
Witnese states that she saw 2 ailver-colored diao-11le objects
flying toward lojave, Golia, one directly buck of the other, at a meed of
bout 300 te 400 MPH at an altitude of approxinstely 8,000 ft. She listened
carefully for a few minutes but could bear no drone such as occasioned by say
edreroft. Gesting her eyes for a moment in naother direction and them loeiing
bask to the same spot abe vas able to distinguish the seme objecte agaia.
Assured that it was not eye-strain, she ves courinced the objecta vere not
nather ballons due to the horisontal position in wich they traveled. Bor
coald they have been birds dince they refleeted the sun'e rays.
Some three or four mimes after the objects had neerly disappeared she saw
another flying object similar to the above zentioned objects.
It was silver
colored and diso-like in shape. Unlike the firet two, it flew in a tight circle,
neither losing nor nining altitade, at sporoximately 8,000 ft. She thought
it performed too tight a circle to have been any type airereft with which she
was failiar.

at first to be a weather balloon, but after looking at it for e while 1
noticed that. it was osci?lating in a forward whirling novement without

we stopped to look and liaten, thinking we would see the plane, But there was
no soundy ao we kupt looking until we ear a tiny object fran which the vapor
was nitting. It was so far amy we could not determine the wise or aven the

a few seconds, when fron the general, direction of the sun, another object shot
into the sig•
It followed the general direction of the first, shooting up and
do before settling to a south-easterly course across the sid, where we followed
then until they were only a gilstan and the vapor could no longer be seen, After
the objecte were gone, we contired to look and to watch the vapor that had been

At approxinately 1200 noon on the l4 of June I was lying in the front
yard of y home. There was a lad mowing the law at the bine. I looled
into the sky and sur ten articles flying fron the South to the lorth at
what I would Judge to be 8500 ft. The objects were Flying at appromatoly
what I would Judge to be 350 miles per hour. I distinctly ranember that
at the time I saw the articles I mentionad it to the lad who was mowing the
lam at the time, I told the lad that the objecte were in all probability
some sort of Arty or Navy tost planes fran the nearby test centers on the
deserts of Southern California. The objects rescabled the pietures that
I have seen of the XPSU-1, the so called "Flying Plapjack" that the Navy
1a testing. At appronately 1115 I want back into the yart to ait and 11e
in the shade. At thie tine the objects reappoured going fron North to South,
although tida time there were only seven of the articles.
When I first saw
the original ten objects they were flying in a "y" foration with one object
seeningly struggling in the rear of the fornation, Ihen the objects appeared
the second time thay were stf11 in the "y" formation although there was
only soven of the objecta at tida tine. I renonber at this time that I told
the lad, who was still woriding on the lam, that probably three of the objecte
had proceeded tack to their base on a differant course. I actually thought
that this was the case, that the other three objects had probably sone back
to their base on the other side of the mountaino from Bakersfield. 1 a
fimly convinced that the articles I saw are actually some sort of flying
machinos although I cannot say fron where they came or to where they were going.

but that it looked strange for an airplane becise it was 11t up so brightly-
18 vas not ourrying lights ("plonea do have a light or two") It was of e
bright reddied yelloy color. Witnens sew it only monentarily because of the
tremendras speed.
*1 any it only for a minute becase it was traveling at
a terrific speed.
His nother, Mre. Seams, 1e the Post Mistress of the town and after he ring
her son's description felt that It ansvered the description of the "flying

in the sane direction in the form of a triangle. As they were disappetring
3 objects penled off the left flenk and proceeded in a more northerly direction.
The remaining objects closed ranks and proceeded on a ask is course.
Five minutes later another group of 3 objects were seen proceeding
in
the sane direction in trianguler formation.
Three to five minutes. later
another telangular formation of five or six objects ves observed going
in the sone direction. Then a few minutes later the three witnesses saw
35 to 50 flying in a trianguler fornetion still in the sane direction,
Approxinately 20 to 25 minutes later similar objects were noted coming
back over the city in a southwesterly direction. Generally they were in
groups of 3, 5 and 7 and followed each other at approximately 5-mimte
intervals.

Mr Wenyon edvised that he noticed a projectile approximetely 15 inches
in demeter cross his course at right angles novingrin a vest-to-eest
direction end traveling at en altitude of 1,000 ft.
It wes traveling
at a very high rate of speed - from 1,000 to 1,200 MPH. Several jets
of flate were spurting from the object. Then in October of 46 he observed
A similor projedtile at 1,400 ft while flying over the same beach. This
object was also traveling from vest to east.
It wos Mr Veryon's assumption that he sew some sort of rocket being tested.
He associated a series of airplane crashes that had occurred tround that
time with the appeerence of this missile and thought that the proper
muthoribies should be notified.

straight line in an are of about 70% soving fron north to south.
The object appeared as a bright orange elow of flame and left bebind
1t a log, straight, nerrow white streak of flame sinilar to the streak
left by a tracer bullet and itself, covering an are of approximately 20°
or 30°,
There appeared to be a fine wist of woke trailing bebind
this strenk which vanisbed very quicily. The objeet took about 3 - 4
seconds to corst the are of 70° and then simply vanisbed in mid air.
The path traveled vos absolutely horizoatal.

Observer first notioed a waite mols trail and while searching for its source
be sow an object 4 to 6 ft in length x 10 to 14 inches wide and of a metal
color which gave off a very bright reflection l1ln highly poliahed chronium.
It was firat observed at 1039 position to the auto obile, Upon re ching
a 1200 position it was engulfed in a puff of dark grey moke about 10 ft in
dianeter. There was no change in the color of the smoke. The object vas
troveling at terrific speed end seemed to be in a very shallow dive.
When
the ruff of toke appeared the object dimpperred. completely no particles
vere observed falling fron it. The point of diappeurance seemed to be about
800 yarde in front of Sudtser. Ibere was no poselbility of being bidden
by vegetation or terrain. It appe. red rectangular for the most pert but
once it eppeured to have a very alightly curved top vurface.
It seemed
ore rocket-like than diso-11ke, and seemed tilted in a send-cirole.
NOTE!
STEE
Agent notes that the point of observation would afford a sweeping
viey thru 40° of the cunyon and the south side of Mebber Creek.
(Switzer vos not definite ne to wut part of the field of view he
had seen the object and fix indidated that it could have been as far
ne the borizon.) Any object or particles thereof vould be in a six
square nile area of vooded mountainous terrain full of canyons and
ravines.
gent thought that line could have seen a conventional type
aircruft which due to the distance from which it was observed presented
no distinguishing features for the short period it was under observation.
However, agent could not account for the smoke tradl.

On Oct 8th or 9th, 1947 while witne e ves driving on the NW outsirts of
L's Teges, lievada, he observed what appeared to be a siguriting pilot's
trail.
He stopped his car to observe it and noticed tun things which
troubled nin.
(1)
Where the nissile should have been at the he d of
the steudily apper ring trail there us nothing visible of voe too smal to
see (eatin ted to be a distance of about 5 miles or less) and (2) the
meed eupeared startling.
I augut it uca between 400 and 1,000 KPE but
thought nore precisely to be from 700 to 800 YPE - too fest for conventonal
sircreft. The trail be thought could have been oke, vapor from intense
speed or my unknown substrace.
The color is al ost wiite - much
like cumulo-nimbus cloud and of approximetely the seme density and it
ves 15-50 minutes before the treil dieintegrated.
The object took a ridius of from 5 to 15 miles to complete e turn (he
estimted closer to 10)in an attent to fudge its exact course over topog pilo
fentures of the surrounding countryside. He stated that since the climate in
tise vicinity in extreely dry ard it ves almost & cloudless day that the
speed vould have to be exceedingly frent to crete such a trail.

During toeir lunch period (1215-1315) 19 Mey 1947 a member of & train
crew called attention to a silver object in the sky approseling from the
Northeast. It appeared to be traveling at great speed.
The object appeared
extremely smell and therefore the altitude could not be estinated.
It did
apper higher than the top of Menitou Mountain which le some 1,000 feet higher
than the city. No definite shape could be deteruined even with the aid of
vower binoculars.
The men were certsin that the object was not a conventionel
aircraft since it did not nave any of the physical charecteristies
Upon re ching the area just north of Menitou the object remeined in the
erea for several minutes during which time it executed meneuvers such us
clinbing, diving and reversal of flight. Thie hamened every few seconds.
The distance and location between views prompted two of the men to think that
there may have been nore of the objecte in the sky.
At time it seemed to
hoever and then it sould start on another flight path.
when lost secr
the silver object was climbing very fist tovards the west almost directly into
the wind.

Incident:
#98
Incident occurred just before break of day: Object appeared to Mrs Brimberry
as a large round ball of fire about 26 to 30 inches in diameter with a
"tail" of approximately 20 feet in length. This "tail" seemed to diminish as
it approached the ground. It appeared to have suddenly "gone out" just
before it reached the earth. It possibly could have hit the ground a great
distance away but it seemed to have landed in the open vacant field adjacent
the house. This field is about 18 acres in area. Mr Brimberry descrübed
the object as being "almost round, maybe a little oval or saucer-shaped
and giving off a bright light. It appeared to be spinning. He did not see
the tail when he öbserved the object.
Incident occurred just before sun-up and it was pretty light outside.
