» 4 Mr. William G. Frey December 28, 1950 Assistant to the AF Plant Page 2 Representative for Security Sub ject: Visual Observation on December 18, 1950 and the passengers had ae relatively clear view at points along the road, the object was not viewed again. The observers were un- able to estimate approximate size, speed, or vertical elevation; and, therefore, were not certain whether tle object was over the Controlled Area or a considerable distance away. There was no vapor trail or any other visible condition within the vicinity of the object and there were no clouds which could have obscured it. The observers were unable to identify the object in terms of mass or shpae, othor than the circular appearance of the light. How- ever, the circular area appeared to darken, starting at approx- imately 7:00 to 9:00 o'clgck along the perimeter and continuing to darken along the perimeter and inner area until the light was concentrated in approximately 1:00 to 3:00 o'clock position of a very small diameter, at which point it appeared somewhat similar to a large star. The observers were not in complete agreement as to whether the object was moving at a speed which caused it to diminish in size or actually was diminishing in size without any great velocity of travel due to the darkening effect described above.
