It was late in the afternoon and the pilot was flying north. Suddenly, at an estimated distance| of 2,000 feet in front of his plane Wenyon saw the “jar.” It was going at tremendous speed Mut the pilot was able to note several tnings. ‘The most important bf these ob- servations, insofar as arjexplanation is possible, is that the “jar” appeared to have some sort of rocket com- bustion. Mr. Wenyon said that ourts of silver flame from the tail emed to provide the propulsion. Carrying out the description of fhe “flying mayonnaise jar,” Mr. enyon said that the tail appeared 0 be a lid which had been per- forated and that from these per- forations the flames escaped. In a matter of two, at the most three, seconds the object had dis- appeared over and past Fort Miles, The pilot did not see it land and doesn’t know whether it did or not.
