‘ I might add thet my complete obseryation of these objects, which I could even follow by their flashes as they passed Mt. Adams, was around two and one-half or three minutes -- although, by the time they reached Mt. Adams they were out of my range of vision es far as determining shape or form. Of course, when the sun reflected from one or two or three of these units, they appeared to be completely round; but, I am keing a drawing to the best of my ability, which I am including, as to the shape I observed these objects to be as they passed the snow covered ridges as well as Mt. Rainier. When these objects were flying approximately straight and level, they were just a black thin line and when they flipped was the only time I could get a judgment as to their size. These objects were holding an almost eomstant elevation; they did not seem to be going up or to be coming down, 8WGH @S would be the case of rockets or artillery shells. I am convinced in my G6wm mind thet they were some type of airplane, even though they didn't conform with the many aspects of the conventional type of planes that I know. Although these objects have been reported by many other observers throughout the United States, there have be@nm six Or seven other accounts written by some of these observers that I can truthfully sey must have ob-= servied the same, thing thet I did; ,partjequlamly, the descriptions of the three Sostorn/AeeEs sant iSloes, the/ebetetae on nc City and the locomo- tive engineer in Illinois, plus Capt Smith and ComPilot Stevens of United Air Lines. Some descriptions could not be very accurate: taken from the ground unless these saucer-like disks were at quite a great height and there is a possiblity that all of the people who observed peculiar objeets Gould have seen the same thing I did; but, it would have been very diffieuwlt from the ground to observe these for more than four or five seconds, and there is always the possibility of atmospheric moisture and dust near the ground which Gould distort one's vision. IT have in my possession letters from all o¥er the United States and people who profess that these objects have been observed over Other portions of the world, principally Sweden, Bermude, and Californias I would have given almost anything thet dey $0 have hed a movie camera with a telephoto lens and from now on I will never be without one = - but, to continue further with my story. When I landed at the Yakima, Wash., airport I described what I had seen to my very good) friend, Al Baxter, who listened patiently and was very courteous but in,a joking way didn't believe me. I did not accurately measure the distance/feon these two mountains until I landed at Pendleton, Oregon, that same day where I told a number of pilot friends of mine what I had observed and they did mot scoff or laugh but suggested they might be guided missiles or something new. Im fact several former Army pilots informed me that they had been briefed before going into combat overseas that they might see objects of similar Shape @md design as I described and assured me thet I wasn't dreaming or going Grazys I quote Sonny Robinson, a former Army Air Forces DpilOt WHO is now opera-= ting dusting operations at Pendleton, Oregon, "What you Observed, I am con- vinced, is some type of jet or rocket propelled ship that if an the process neil of being tested by our government or even it could possibly Be By, sone for ea. rovernmente hos Anyhow, the news thet I had observed these spread very rapidly and before night was over I was receiving telephone calls fromall pares of the world; and, to date I have not reccived one telephone Gall Or one Jetter of scoffing or disbelief.
