@ESTRICTED e STATEMENT OF MR. WM. EVANS, CORDROY{ NEWFOUNDLAND. TAKEN BY MERCEDES BURKE OF THE INTELLIGENCE OFFICES HARMON FIELD, NBW- FOUNDLAND. 17 July 1947. At approximately 10 e'elock in the evening of 10 July 1947, I was standing eutside Mr. Leggo's store talking with him. We beth saw this thing desh aerogss the sky. I eouldn't be eceurate about the direetions. If it was a shooting ster, I'd never seen one as large before, and it was mueh brighter then anything I've ever seen in the skye It looked to be a round object, I eouldn't say it was anything else but round; it‘had a tail on it whieh showed yellowish, but not as bright as the eirele which appeered and nearest I could deseribe it would be sort of red and yellon. The streak behind, I would say, was little over a yard long; the eirele looked te be about the size ef a large dinner plate. It went so feast, it was hardly in sight before it disappeared. I eould not give any idea of the height; all I ean say is it was mueh eloser than a shooting star. and travelling at a great speed. Whatever it was it was flying through the air; it wasn't just a streak seross the sky. To me it wasn't in any way like a shooting star, and I am sure it wasn't an airoplane. I called it a "FLYING SAUCER” beeause it seemed exactly like what we had been hearing so mueh about on the radio. CO (Brviet Tie ——* f, Witness: 7 oY: F Witness: Whrtehe- Aue
