(d) Color: A veey bright silveey metalic color.

(e) SEeed: Unknown

(f) Heading: W-ll\Y turning around and heading E-SE.

(g) ~neuverability: See general remarks.

(h) Altitude: 5 to 10 thousand feet.

( i) Sound: None

( j) Exhaust trail or not : !~one

(7) General remarks: t ated that while traveling along, approximately three (3) mile northeast on highway #31 going north out of Holl•nd, ~chigan on the 2 October 1949, he sighted a ver.y ~right and shiny object shaped like a dinner plate. Going east t he object approached beneath a t clou~, the object did a flip, and went up into the cloud. expected the object to come out of the other side of the cloud, but instead it came out at the point of entry, and traveled ba along its original route and then disappeared into the east. claims that the object was in his sicbt for approx-ima ·to 60 seconds. It is to be noted that at the ti~ of sight-ing was traveling along a heavy traveled highYlay, and approach-ing a turn. states that \"lhile approaching the turn in the hi gh-•8.7 he noticed a barn just right of the turn. The object sighted was just about th height of a yard stick above the barn in his line of sight. stated that he judged the cloud formations on the 2 ot October 1949 to be from 5 to 10 thousand teet.

It is the belief of the undersigned that there is considerable margin for error in this report, in viel'l of the fact that the indivi­dual makjng the report was . traveling down a well traversed highway, and also approaching a turn. The time element involved in viewing this object was probably not as great as is i."ldicated due to circumstances at the time of sighting. Also the offi cial CAA vreather report indi­cates that the cloud form1tions on this day in question in this loca­lity were supposed to be at an altitude of 25,000 f eet.

Background of the individual is as follows: Spent 52 months in the USAAF from early 1941 t o late 1945. lie spent 31 lOOnths in England, France and Germnny, with a ~-26 Unit, tho S96th Air Engineer Squadron or tho 344th Bomb Group.
