WADE H. HARRISON, residence address Route 1, Box 293,
Fort Smith, “rkansas, is employed as a Special Delivery messenger by
the Fort Smith Post Office Department,
HARRISON stated that at 5:25 p.m., Saturday, April 16, 1949,
while delivering special delivery mail in Fort Smith, he stopped his
automobile at a signal light located at the intersection of North
Eleventh Street and Grand Avenue. He glanced up at thestop light and
observed a brilliant object moving in a southeastern direction. He
presumed the object was approximately 2 miles high. He got out of his
automobile and pointed up with the suggestion that other automobile.
drivers, stopped for the signal light, could see the object. He does
not know who any of the other people are or what they saw. He was
obliged to move on after the light changed and the drivers began honking
their horns. He watched th: object until it was obscured by the line
of trees in that section. He estimated he watched it travel some
3 or 4 miles before he lost sight of it, He stated the weather was
clear, visibility was good, and there were no clouds near the object.
The object made no noise perceptible to HARRISON. However, he commented
that he was stopped at an intersection where the traffic was heavy and
there was considerable noise, He first thought possibly he had seen
some type of a reflector on an airplane, but could not locate or hear
a@ plane anywhere,
HARRISON drove to the 1400 Block of North "C" Street, where
he observed an Army officer, wearing the insignia of a major or lieutenant
colonel, standing back of the officer's automobile, He stopped and
asked the officer if he had observed the flying object. The officer,
name unknown to the informant, answered negatively and then remarked,
"I am glad other people are also reporting seeing flying objects."
The officer then related that the day previous, Friday, April 15, 1949,
while the officer was traveling out of Oklahoma City toward Fort Smith,
his wife observed a flying object in the sky very similar to that
described by HARRISON. The officer stated he saw the object too, but
furnished no more information.
