[ZN RDROY, NEWFOUNDLAND. TAKEN BY ‘DES BURKE OF THE INTEL IGENCE OFFICE, HARMON FIELD, §$=WFOUND- 17 July 1947 At approximately 10 o'eloek in the evening of 10 July 1947 I was standing by my store door; I happened to look up and saw what appeared to be a "FLYING SAUCER". It definately was not a sheeting star; I'd seen several stars shoet before, but never like this! mor was it an airoplane, it was too "lit up” and traveling eat tee great a speed. It wasn't an siroplane on fire because it would have fallen in the water. It was a niee elear night, no elouds, it nas just getting dark. I would say it was traveling at the rate of a shooting star but mueh eloser. I'd say roughly at 6,000 feet. It was visible for about fifteen (15) seconds. It eame from the North West heading Eastward. The cirele looked to be about the size of a barrel head, and the trail behind looked to be about fifteen (15) feet long. The trail behind the dise made the whole object look like a eone. Another thing that makes me feel sure it wasn't ag shooting star is; a shooting star usually leaves a temporary streak, this objeet I saw left mo streak only the one that appeared to travel behind the eirele whieh looked like an after-glow. The eirele was a bright red, nearest I could des- eribe it would be the eolor of a flame, the after-glow(eone-shaped) was a fainter shade. What I saw last Thursday night resembled a shooting star in no way whatsoever. There was only one. J A ) Witness: /.~ mt An ~~. Witness: Whetck.. rrr Le
