While watching an Aray bomber which was flying rather low, Col Making
observed above am! going nearly due east an unknown object. Je asked

his companion, Mr Bemtham, if he were sadinn, aekkue toings. athem suds tantiated
the fact that there wac en object above the bowber. Col Bakine iescribed
the object es being eporoxivately the aise of a large four~engine! bomber.
It appeared undulating in shape resembling en amecba (See sketch incloved).
The object avpesred to have 3 appendages forward and 2 aft wnich seemed to
be flap ing or oxvcillating while the center portion re eined etable, ()
Bakine toought it woe a mile or more above tne bomber, In the center of
the object there appeered a round, dark circle which, in Col Sakins'’ opinion,
seemed to be above the main body of the object. Further it appeared that
the main pert of tne object was tremslucent and of a dirty gray color and
that the dark, circular portion ayprered to grow more jense in color as

it approached the center. From this observation Ool Zakine conc!u ed that
the dark portion was spherical howing the shave and depth of a globe.

Be further stated thet the main prt of the object appesred like canvas,

Ke could not estimate the meed of the object Mat sali it wie troveling

Se

at « far greater peed than the Domber or anything elee he tad ever seen.
There was no noice of any typ® and nm evitence of exhaust or trail.
The objevut dit not reflect or give off light of any type.

vol Eakins prior to his retirement in 1946 wis on luty in Panam A
voterinarian with the Army miecsion, je retire: becmive of p reonal
reason: ani pot Lec us8e of ysic ‘(| defects. .‘owever, Col Sekine is

farecsigihtei end nes to woar gloeres. Neighbors an’ burineve a socictes
establint i te fect that he i» uighly thought of and is reliable in all
nis ‘eel ings and associations with tuem, Ge impressed tne investigator

is Deing seats intelligent and above average in common sense.

that his exhaust flame would not be noticed in an effort to get the object

turm insite of Combe’ sircreft even under this gondition, Anotner amazing
feature wes the quick variation of eirepeed from 8 MPI to 500 or 600 My
Combs remained in contact with the object for aome 10 mimites with the

only see an Oblomg ball with one sight und no wings and no eximmet flome.
Trying to close in egein ce remines in sight of it up to GO00 feet, then
Gown to 3500 feet to WOO feet wut it élways escily evoded hin. Then

in shape as wentioned before, Object then performe:' & very tight curve and
headed for the Bast count at about 500 to 600 MPH,

Witneeses agree that (1 Object was highly maneuverable,
©) Seemed mare of the Presence of a following aircraft

Witnesses were uncertain as to whether source of light observed eninated
from entire object or was exaust type in nature,

Incident: 2.4

The 7 sighted Uy the two fighter pilots hod the appearance

of a flek buret sitting still im the ateosphere and w = connected
to a curved trail of corkscrew appeargos (jee drawing attacne?)
The trail wes from 1 to 10 miles im length, amd did not have the
sppearance of a vapor trail but rather thet of « rocket or jet
exheust. Altitude wis judged to be 3,000 ft. ‘The mace and trail
disappeared within epproximpately three simutes. Phe mars apc ured
waite in color like an exhaust trail whieh bd s sudden burst
origim amd then tapered off to nothing. Both parties renarked tnat
it eppecred as if an aircraft had exploded and left a wiite smoke
Colum. The vapor substance dissipated in approximately in } mimtes
scattering tuinly like emoke through the atwosphere, It is firmly
believed by both witme.ses that the object was not e cloud because
of its shape and becouse the oky im the vicinity wer cloudless.

Incident: 217

On 9 December while om flight from Washington, D. C. to Patterson
Field, shortly efter leaving Pittsburgh range some 8 to 12 miles
southeast of Pittsburgh Capt Mulling asked Gol Brow if he were
interested in seeing a flying disc} (Col Brown removed his flight
goggles, took a quick look and said “Locks like a balloon to me"
Capt Mulling didm't agree since the object evinced a very definite
movenent and was proceeding in a soutinest direction at a pretty
fair rate of speed. ol Brown then decided to watch the object
again. The object appeared perfectly round and of a chalky white
color bat did not ehiny. it wee whiter than the clouds and
was seen against o Senercad of stripe of blue eky alternating with
stripe of thin broken stratus. It was mach whiter than the clouds,
It appeared to be traveling fairly repidly through or above the clouds
disappesring behind them and then reappearing tut greg pursuing

a etreight course. When first sighted it appeared at 60° above
horigon and seemed from the observer's viewooinmt to be about the size
of a quarter - thought to be about 4 to § miles in front of the 0
& horizontal shimmer or jittery motion was noticable at all times.
The C45 was pura ing a course of 300° and then changed to 270° with
the object a ee on a course of 290°. The C-45 we
cruising at 120 MPH at 6,000 feet. The object avpeared to be 12 to

16,000 feet and was above clouds. Object last sean at sbout 10°
above the corizon and wes about the size of a beebee shot.
