"On or about 19 say 1947 during their lunch period (121.-1315) a mem- ber of a train crew called attention to a silver object in tiie sky a; proachin from ti.e Nortn East. It appeared to Le travelli:n, at a great speed. All three men stated that the altitude of the object was very difficult to deter- mine because of its apparent smallness. They further sta'ed that because of this it was difficult to view the object as being large and naving high altitude or small and being at a relatively low altitude. They did say though that it appeared to be higher than the top of Manitou Mountain which is over 1000 feet higher than tne shops which are situated at its base. No definace s..ape of the object could be determined and even witn tie aid of binvculars it still could not be brought into focus. The binoculars used were of about 4 to 6 power. The men stated that they were cer ain that the cbject did not have any of tne physical characteristics of modern conventional aircraft. The day was discribed as being clear aid sunny witn not a cloud in the sky andamo ground wind. On reaching tne area just North of Manitou Moutain the object remained in tne immediate area for several.minutes during which time it was seen to execute manuvers such as climbi:g, divin; end reversal of direction of fli;ht. This happened every few seconds. The distance and location between views prompted two of the men to think that there,were more of ‘he unidentified objects in the sky. At times the object seemed to hoveer in tne air and then start on another path of flijht. When last seen tie silver object was climo- in, very fast towards the West almost directly into the wind.
