SUBJECT: Flying/Disks Reference is made to Bureau Bulletin No. 42 dated July 30, 1947. This is to advise that two army officers repprted to the Office of the Director of Intelligence, headquarters Alaskan Department, at Fort Richardson, Alaska, that they had witnessed an object passing through the air at a tremendous rate of speed which could not be judged as to miles per hour. The first officer stated that his attention was attracted to this airborne object, and he in turn pointed it out to the second of- ficer. The object appeared to be shaped like a sphere and did not give the impression of being saucer-like or comparable to a disk. The first-~ officer stated that it would be impossible to give minute details con- cerning the object, but that it appeared to be approximately two or three feet in diameter and did not leave any vapor ~ trail in the sky. ; ; PD a aor Both officers attempted to determine the approximate altitude of the object, and from a weather group stationed nearby it was de- termined that cloud formations at the time the object was sighted were” “scattered above 10,000 feet." The object was noted to be traveling below the cloud formation. ee The first officer stated that in his opinion the object ap- peared to be metallic and was silver in color, mech like the color of many airplanes. The second officer stated substantially the same facts and also pointed out that the object remined within his vision for ap- proximately 15 to 20 seconds. When sighted, the object was traveling due south at a speed considerably in excess of any plane. The second officer stated that the object appeared to him to be approximately 10 feet in diameter and compared it to half the size of a full moon on an ordinary night. The second officer based the altitude at approximately the same as the first offiter except for the fact that due to the size he believed the object to be, he estimated the altitude to be only approximately 3,000 or 4,000 feet. The object appeared broadside to the second officer, and no evidence of a spinning motion or reflection was noted. As to the color, the second officer pointed out that it appeared to be a dull metal finishg “t ] Cider ter iforos Bag a he / NG ay -h qP°| . Ar ‘x OPIES DESTROYED CA gh 70. NOV 18 1964
