Odjects seemed to take no definite course but flew in a genere) easterly @irection in a gradual descent. A few came close enough to oa se the pilot & co-pilot to duck as it appeored they might come thru the nose of ‘he plane, Ma) Smartt's analogy is as follows! Take about 1/2 gallon of water end ‘tum it 200 yaries in front of an approaching al about 200 feet above it, wit) the water taking the shape of a teardrop. These objects appe red to travel in a straight line toward the aircraft and g-dually descended, passing from view under the wing of the Gi7,. Toe apparent speed of these objects ape: red quite ‘igh av they remained in view for only a second, Thay vere sighted one at a time at intervals: of tucee or four minntes. * Aecrepancies noted: In first report Maj Smartt recorted seeing 15 +t bjects. later he revorte seeing three or four. in first report be etutes tuat they purened no definite course in taat some travele. downwerd and some traveled upward. In last report he does not mention thet ony pursued an upwerd course, The a of comparing sigtting of these objects to 1/2 gallon of w.ter dumped approximately 200 yarce in front of ois aircraft and tat teardrop objects were formed seems to indicste an imression of a group of objects seen at one time (as first reported) and not singly at intervals of three or four mimates,
