Drum stated that he had observed a strangely shaped glistening object in the north sector of the aky which was moving in a northeasterly direction at an estimated altitude of 10,000 ft, A stratus layer of clouds was situated above the object at an Spproximate altitude of 14,000 feet. The dise or disce were moving below this layer of cloude in that it was noted that on two occasions that the bighest formation of cl was at a greater altitude than the object observed and that the lower ci md formation blocked the vision of the observer tms placing the object betwoen the two cloud formations or levels, Because of this lower broken cumius clouds at & Very low altitude wnich was coving in s southwesterly direction, tae Major could not uscertain whether he aaw the sane dise four different times or four different discs.
