Ret Unidentified Flying Objects

Dear Sir:

The following information was furnished to Special Agent
Clement W. Parkhurst, resident agent, Richland, Washington, on June 1, 1956:

‘Sergeant Gordon Richardson, Kennewick, Washington Police
Department, advised that for several years he has been very interested in
flying saucers and has read everything available concerning this topic,
Gerdon advised that he has some information which he considers to be of
utmost importance to the defense of the United States concerning a flying
space ship which he observed over Kennewick, Washington about a year ago.
Richardson stated that he had never told anyone about this matter and had
not discussed it with other officers of the police department because they
“never pay any attention to what he says”, Gordon prefaced his remarks
by stating that he realizes his information sounds like a “nut complaint"
but assures the writer that this is not so.

Richardson stated that the thing he saw has been weighing very
heavily on his mind and he believes the information should be passed on to
the Air Foree or other interested Defense Agency.

Richardson stated that about a year ago he was on night shift
and was in the vicinity of lst and Washington, Kennewick, at about 10 PM
when he observed a large, shining, metal ball about 30' in diameter swoosh
in from the West at rather low altitide--only 200 or 300 feet in the air
or less. The ball was traveling at a high rate of speed and when it got
about three blocks east of Washington Street it came to a complete stop,
Richardson stated that the ball had left a trail of fire until it stopped
and then emitted no fire or smoke, Richardson described the ball as per-
fectly spherical and made of shiny metal. He stated that apparently the
ball had at least two different kinds of motors to propel it, because when
it was standing still he could hear the "chug chug" of the engine sounding
like a tractor engine and apparently an internal combustion engine. The

On November 6, 1957 a Mr. Albert Cressye telephoned
this office and advised that while fishing in Puget Sound
near Alaskan Way and near the Union 011 Company docks on
November 5, 1957 he observed what appeared to be a dise in
the air as he looked out west over the water. He stated
another unknown man had a pair of binoculars and that he
looked through the binoculars and thought he saw one large
object, similar to a big dise, and six other small objects
flying away from the big dise. He was positive that he
saw this happen but c¢ not furnish the names of anyone
else that might have seen the same object.
This is béing passed on to your office for informa-
tion and any disposition you may see fit. No inquiry is
being made by this office.
Very truly yours,
